Greg Dillon Notes
Nose:
Palate:
wave of freshly cut ginger going on. Interesting, if a little soft for a rye cask finished whiskey.

Overall:
truth, but the fruity complexion was really interesting,
and the light spices definitely make this a thoroughly enjoyable whiskey to sip, especially if you are looking to explore new flavours and are not after something too polarising.

Overall:
It’s great to see these guys trying something different with the added rye cask maturation which has added a layer of complexity to what might have been an average whiskey. Punching above its weight (pun intended).
