Strong iodine/briny scent with a hint of sweetness. Upon tasting, I get the brine with an overwhelming sweetness - but as the sweetness subsides, the saltiness remain. Every sip is a pleasure.

Soft peat upfront on the nose but I perceive it more as smoke on the palette. Underlying sweetness is there along with an oaky char and muted dried fruit flavors. The complexity from the blended components (Bourbon, Rye and Scotch) carries through to the final product but none at full intensity.

This Yellow Spot is easy on the nose with soft scents of dried fruit and a hard to specify 'sweetness'. Not exactly honeysuckle or vanilla but not too far off of those...definitely a little floral. The taste is amped up a bit by the alcohol. There is a little sharpness from the 96 proof whiskey but the flavors that settle out are pretty close to the nose. There is a little more vanilla, maybe a little (very little) oak with a touch of sherry sweetness. The flavors don't linger, however...leaving me reaching for more.

This is a delicious pour. This pour is darker and has a redder hue than most Irish whiskeys. Up front, from the first pour, the ethanol coming off of it is stronger than its 92 proof would indicate. The biscuity Irish smell is next, followed by a fruity scent. The mouthfeel is pretty viscous but not heavy in any way. The flavors follow the lead of the scent but the dried fruits at the end linger in the mouth.I normally prefer more cost effective pours but I will find this bottle again.
