night cap bliss, first time trying but not the last time.
Distillery notes,
The fabulous flavor of Midleton Distillery's Green Spot Irish whiskey meets the zinfandel casks of California's famous Château Montelena in this limited edition expression. The red wine influence adds a richness and a chewiness of texture to the smooth and unctuous character of the pot-distilled whiskey. Fans of heavier Irish whiskies will be thrilled by the added weight and suppleness. — 4 years ago
This afternoon/evening was our first of two baby showers. Not only were we surrounded by friends & family, but we were also surrounded by some good wine & other drinks. This was one of the selections at our whisk(e)y & cigar bar.

Last time I had this was back at university - was nice to circle back on it so many years later. — 6 years ago
This is certainly the most interesting Zinfandel I’ve tasted in quite some time, and also one of the best. Montelena sourced Irish oak from a certain distillery for some of the aging. I found this remarkably right bank Bordeaux like with ripe aromas of plums, blueberry pie, cassis, figs, chocolate, spice box and tobacco leaf. Very complex and aristocratic expression. Superb vintage! — 6 years ago

Its been a rough week. First the sleet followed by a flash freeze. Instant skating rink, and now 8 inches of wet heavy snow.
Rated previously, its Irish coffee time.

124.9 proof but not as hot as it seems. I really think these bottles improve after being opened for a bit. Not sure what I rated this prior but it’s a full mouth feel and punch. It’s on the sweeter side for me with a little bit of wood and a finish that lasts a long time. I get pipe tobacco aromas from the empty ;) glass. Reminds me of those old tobacco tin cans my grandfather had. I think I saved one somewhere just for the memories. Never got into a pipe. — 4 months ago
