I experienced this ASW Druid Hills Irish-Style Whiskey at a friend’s house. It was the first time I’ve had any heavy barley stuff in a while. Surprisingly, it was a much better experience than I anticipated because I do not have much experience with Irish whiskeys. Additionally, my own pre-conceived notions got in the way. After tasting this good whiskey, I may need to revisit the Irish whiskeys and Scotch.
Nose: Minty, mild malt.
Palate: Creamy, buttery minty chocolate with mild vanilla honey. Scotch-like, barley, and malt. A rich sweetness in the middle and brought around the edges, which is what my palate prefers.
Finish: Moderate length finish whose flavor reflects the palate.
