Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.
Yes, it’s in a can instead of a bottle, and while that might have traditionalists cringing, this blended Irish Whiskey does have some advantages. For instance, one could throw the 100ml can into a backpack for a weekend camping trip or an airline-friendly toiletries kit without worrying about breaking a glass bottle. The whiskey inside isn’t bad, either. The nose has notes of ginger, grass clippings, honey, vanilla, and a touch of pencil shavings. The taste starts off light and fruity at first, followed by a nice burst of spices with touches of clove, ginger and allspice. There’s also a slight nuttiness, a hint of oak, and touches of apples, honey, and straw, The finish is long and gentle with a nice balance. (March, 2021)
