Keeper's Heart Irish + Bourbon review

Tasting Notes

About:

A triple blend of Irish pot still whiskey, Irish single-grain whiskey, and bourbon; 46% ABV; $39.99.
Appearance:
A lovely golden amber within the glass, carrying along with it solid legs and sufficient viscosity.
Nose:
Sweet and approachable greet the nose as a sniff happens, transferring notes of oatmeal, vanilla, caramel, dark chocolate, baked bread, and creme brulee.
Palate:
There are some different things going on here, reflecting the dual American and Irish whiskey heritages. There are offerings of vanilla, oak, malted bread, oats, cardamon, caramel, crunchy toffee, and grass.
Finish:
This comes and goes quickly on the finish, leaving behind only a hint of flavor that is neither here nor there.
Comments:
This is a pleasant whiskey, paying homage to the bourbon and Irish whiskeys within. There’s nothing particularly superstar about this expression, but it isn’t that bad either.
