Cask No. 13.111 Irish Whiskey A wave of sweetness thenThe neat nose displayed a vibrant and rather minty sherry profile, with a lot of orange notes such as spiced marmalade, orange blossom, satsuma and blood orange.

The neat palate displayed more wood spices, more ginger, some nibbling tannin, herbal liqueurs, woodruff tea, grapefruit and a nice tinge of rancio.
