GSN’s Remarks: Warming, candy, vanilla-rum nostril with a medium contact of oak. Flavorwise, a particular push in direction of sweetness greets the tongue, little doubt because of the double whammy of a excessive maize mash, together with the ex-rum barrel end. I’m reminded of a rum cake. Softer notes of baked apple, pear, raisin toast and sugar glaze add a dessert-like character. Medium-light physique, with a easy entry and end. Total, a stunning dram which stands as a singular launch on this planet of Irish whiskies. GSN Ranking: A+
