I am not aware of any other cask strength Irish Whiskey......... although there may be some. It is bottled at 112 proof. In the nose there is no hint of that proof, but the malt bursts forth brilliantly, even though there is a lot of delicacy and softness there too. Some nice apple aromas waft out, along with some coconut cream and buttery vanilla. The taste is a deep rich and thick affair, with the aforementioned aromas perfectly transitioned into the mouth. A first rate whiskey that holds all the flavors, along with a cleansing spicy and semi citrus finish.
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rage at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light. - Dylan Thomas
