CROITHLI 'QUERCUS ROBUR' 單一麥芽愛爾蘭威士忌，愛爾蘭，700ml

The winter spices—ginger, clove, nutmeg—come through beautifully on the palate, balanced by a rich fruitiness that lingers. I've been sipping it neat and it warms perfectly on a cold evening.

The nose alone is worth it—deep redcurrant and that winter spice mix of ginger and clove really comes through. The oak gives it a nice weight on the palate, and it's smooth enough to sip neat without any burn.

Opened this with a little trepidation since I’m usually a bourbon guy, but that deep redcurrant and clove nose just pulls you in, and the nutmeg warmth lingers exactly how you'd want on a cold evening. One pour was enough to know this bottle won't last long.
