On the nose, I get butterscotch, ripe fruit, and it's malty. The taste has some hot spice up front, sweetness in the back and some orange as well. The finish I get a hot cinnamon, along with dryness in back and some orange and citrus.
I'm guessing this is Irish, but the heat/spice is throwing me off a bit. It's the first pour of the day, so maybe it's drinking hot for that reason. The Red Breast Cask Strength would have some heat from the proof, and while I'm enjoying this, I don't think it falls into the Red Breast category of good. I'll rate it 3.75/5.0
Turns out this was the Powers Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey, John's Lane, Aged 12 Years, 46% ABV. I rated this a 3.75 during 24 Days of Whisk(e)y, and during the Irish Whiskey shootout afterwards, and now tonight. It cost me $67, it's probably worth another buy at that price.
