Nose: Flashes of apple with hints of vanilla & honey over a distinctively Irish Pot Still base. Taste: Gently spiced with a burst of ginger & butterscotch with background notes of toasted oak. Finish: Long, elegant finish with subtle notes of milk chocolate & almonds. Writer? Tears Cask Strength is at 53% this year & is Irelands most exclusive Whiskey.
