Price: 30 Issue: Summer 2018 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Irish

Fresh and grassy, it's quite dainty, with peach, Liquorice Allsorts, and light florals. Sugary sweetness, lemon slices, and candied orange jellies, concluding with hot white pepper and residual sweetness. This is sourced 4 year old grain whiskey finished in port barrels, though the label does not disclose this. Otherwise, an original, delectable finishing concept.
