Stone fruit Quaker oats comb honey and sandalwood aromas are followed by ripe melon and tropical fruit flavors trailed by cocoa. Fragrant spices contribute to a sublime balance with spicy chocolate coffee grounds and menthol to finish. This is a rare gem among Irish whiskeys. Number 18 in the 2018 Top 20
