Whiskey Review: Greenore Single Grain 8-Year-Old Irish Whiskey

While I really like a dram of sweet whiskey, Greenore takes that a little too, far even for me. The base flavor of earthy, creamy, slightly smoky vanilla bordering on caramel is delightful, but it mostly just hangs in your mouth with very little development as it sits. It certainly delivers a consistency between the nose and the palate, but that comes at the expense of character and subtlety. All that said, this isn’t a bad whiskey. It’s smooth and sweet with a bit of spice and smoke, and it might make a decent introduction for someone transitioning to whiskey from sweeter beverages. rnrnHowever, for someone with a lot of whiskey experience, I’d save this one as a mixing component or for when you want something sweet with nothing to object to – and nothing to ponder.rn
