Price: 60 Issue: Summer 2023 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Blended Irish Whiskey

This Barbados rum cask-finished blend of sourced triple-distilled single malt and grain whiskeys makes for a satisfying sipper. Candied lemon and orange, vanilla, hay bales, malt, orange peel, and ground cumin on the nose. Tangerine, malt, and sugared lemon flavors as the rum sweetness kicks in, with grapefruit and dry spices yielding to a creamy vanilla phase after the citrus acidity passes, to end on a custard cream note.
