Greenore 15 Years Old Irish Single Grain Whiskey
Pale golden color. The nose is filled with Whiskey notes as opposed to a heavy dose of wood notes. It’s quite complex and very pleasing offering scents of wild flowers, vanilla. orange honey, shortbread, and Bourbon. The palate is in full agreement with the nose being dry with a mild, sweet smoke accent. An interesting Whiskey but at this price few will be tempted to own a bottle. $100 – 3 Stars

Brilliant golden color. The nose is simply beautiful with scents of butterscotch, caramel, nougat, and vanilla with accents of orange peel, honey and sweet toasted grains.

A lovely dram and by far the best Greenore offering to date. $135 – 4 Stars
