Ultimate example of Irish single pot still. Full bodied, sherried, oily. — 8 years ago
Soft work.
Taste of a smooth Guinness brewed in Nigeria is one of the best ever...

Spicy nose. More sherry than standard Jameson - fruitier and sweeter, which complements the pot still character, but I miss the balance of the classic stuff. If it ain't broke... Worth a try if you're in Ireland. — 9 years ago
1998 Château Caronne Sainte-Gemme, Bordeaux, France, Haut-Médoc. 1 Jeroboam. Dinner at Newport House, Newport, Co. Mayo, Ireland. 8/29/15. Fantastic dinner with great friends. Black berries taste with a pepper finish. The Jeroboam size allowed sharing of several decanters with other guests.

One of the best Irish whiskeys ever! — 10 years ago
Received a bottle as a gift and loved it. Never could find it in a store and the. One day checked the Delectable app and was able to purchase online! 1 day later I have great bottle of whiskey, thank you Delectable. — 11 years ago
Color is light caramel. Nose is quite sweet with aldehyde, caramel, crayon, and hotness strength. Taste is very smooth considering she is just 12 yr old. Nice creamy milk like flavor, wood chips, dried fruits, honey, and flowering note. Really impressed by the flowering and honey note. Aftertaste of warmth, some apple, dried fruit, and more flowering note. A must try 12 yr old. — 8 years ago
Almost a dessert wine, the nose is of candied fruit with sweet pomegranate, plum and cherry and earth flavors. The label is of the ruins of a chapel in Ireland near where Owen Roe costumed the colors of the English Army in 1646. Very cool. — 9 years ago
Attention scotch lovers: if you love highlands scotch, this is Ireland's answer to the eastern side of the UK, a single pot still 12 year Irish whiskey! Nice spice, mellow smooth mouthfeel, maintaining the fruit body, and a woody smoke nose, overall, outstanding! Wish I could try the 15 and the expensive 21 year! — 9 years ago
Absolutely stunning. Devoid of many of the flavors that characterize most whiskies, like toffee, caramel and oak. On the nose, it's packed full of fresh orchard fruit up front - green apples and pears, pineapple, fruitcake, honey, crushed peanuts, orange blossom, cream. The body is rich and supple, stuffed with fresh fruits that caress the tongue with a fresh vanilla bean sweetness before offering a burst of tartness on the midpalate that lifts things into the stratosphere. That fructuous sour note hammers home the strong connection to crisp apples and freshly picked pears, and prevents this whiskey from coming across too rich and sweet. A hint of menthol, leather, and dried earth. Cardamom and clove dance on the palate with walnuts, violets and honeysuckle for the medium-long finish. Nice notes of barley at the tail end. Really special. — 9 years ago

Who knew you could find this gem in Ireland of all places. — 10 years ago
Has the usual chars of a 13.5% Rioja but wow, it has one hell of a long, smooth finish. €20 from Curious Wines in Ireland. — 12 years ago
Smooth, rich honey flavor, followed by oak and ginger. The noise is sweet with a hint of lavender — 8 years ago
Color of amber, slightly light. Nose of concentrated aldehyde, baked apple, some cedar wood, and ripe pineapple note. Taste is very smooth, sweet, and nice spice. Flavors of dried fruits fill the mouth. Aftertaste of vanilla, nice dried peach and figs, with some refreshing zest. Some warmth in the throat is the only thing that reminds me of the smoothness actually is coming from a spirit. — 8 years ago
Chocolate and red fruit but still a hint of game and rusticicity. Beautiful wine. Had in Ireland for Evans bday. First bottle had enough air and thus smoother. PnP 2nd bottle had ruff tannins. — 9 years ago
Drank in Adare Ireland at the end of a warm day of sightseeing. Perfect ending to the day. — 9 years ago
Nose: peat! Smoky, toffee apple, a little saline. Round and spicy like a lighter island malt (Talisker-esque). Unmistakeable honey-caramel PS Irish backbone. Slightly odd pickle note late on the finish but otherwise better than a lot of scotches trying to do what it does. — 9 years ago
There's a hint of the unicorn in finding a couple random bottles of this, near its 20th birthday, in a wine store in Ireland. And this is drinking beautifully with notes of meat, olives, smoke and liquorice. There's great lift on the palate with good acidity and just a little dryness on the finish. It lingers with a classic campfire note. Entirely delicious. The 1996 — 9 years ago
Bottle No.3087 of 4000. Big complex nose of dried fruits. Smooth and delicious. Nice Irish single malt. — 10 years ago
One of the little secrets about coming to Ireland is that there's tremendous access to amazing wine - Italian, Spanish, but mostly French.
Had this bottle twice this week in Westport, IE. It's a tremendous bottle of organic wine from the Cotes Du Rhone. — 11 years ago
Perfect for this time of year. Spicy, sweet, lots of toffee :) — 11 years ago
