The reviewed bottle has been open about 6 months and is 2/3rds full.
Nose: delicious very intense intoxicating vanilla with other light wood flavours, some barley-style citrus, and other malted and unmalted barley flavours. A bit floral with a hint of roses and carnations. This is similar to the 40% ABV Redbreast 12 nose, only ramped up to 4 times the intensity
Taste: the nose flavours translate gloriously. This is sweeter on the palate than in the nose. Fantastic!
Finish: the same delicious intensity continues unabated strong and long
Balance: it would be absolutely criminal if this wonderful juice is not continued indefinitely at this extremely high quality level. This is "95-Class" all the way.
If you like standard Redbreast 12, after you try this, you will wonder "where has this whiskey been all of my life?"

This is the best Irish whiskey I had so far! Had it at a (very good) tasting Fruit explosions all the way! But after that came the Rattray Mortlach 17 c/s and Bowmore 21 c/s sherry finish... boy oh boy
