Bottles & Boxes arrived today.
Having finished labeling for the night it was with some some trepidation that I opened one of the bottles. Being a rank amateur, I'm always afraid that maybe we selected something horrible, or that some flavour is obvious today that wasn't present on the tasting night.
However, after a brief taste, I think we have another cracker (to use Jim Murray's phrase).
A very very floral fruity nose - no need to even taste this - wonderful stuff.
But, needs must ... nice & oily, very sweet. A touch of fishermen's friend (menthol?). I got a slight off-note at the finish on the first tasting, but not on the second (I'm on the second) - I can't place it Not bitter, maybe a touch lemony or lemon zest on the finish.
Very moreish and at 46%, just right.
See Jim Clarke's better notes at viewtopic.php?f=37&t=763#p5809
We'll have a bottle for tasting as an opener next Thursday - http://www.irishwhiskeysociety.com/even ... 2010-07-29
