This limited edition release is a collaboration between Kentucky Owl master blender John Rhea and Louise McGuane of Ireland’s Chapel Gate Whiskey Company. The nose has touches of dried flowers, caramel, apples, peaches, honey, vanilla, and hints of dark chocolate and mint leaves. The taste starts off minty and floral at first, followed by a burst of spices with honey, vanilla, and dried fruits in the background. The finish is long, fruity, and vibrant with a hint of mint leaves and lingering spices. Very nice! (February, 2022)
