Tasting with John and his son John 7/26/20

     I met up with John and his son down in St. Augustine one night for a little tasting of Irish and a Glenfiddich. We went to the Irish  pub for dinner afterwards. The fish and chips were very appropriate. 
​*Glendalough Single Malt Irish 7yr  46% ABV
     -smelled grassy, citrus
     -tasted slightly unmalted barley/rubber
     -peppery, oak – trailed quickly
     -w/water smelled very light citrus
     -tasted peppery oak
     -very little sweetness left
     Even at 46% ABV this needs no water.
 
*Powers Gold Label (NAS) 43% ABV Irish Pot Still
     -smelled sweet caramel w/berries
     -tasted slight pepper w/oak
     -w/water smelled citrusy light
     -tasted light oak w/slight citrus
     This is an easy drinking, triple distilled, light Irish. Once undervalued, this whiskey got great reviews a few years ago and went from around $20 a bottle to anywhere from $30-$38. That’s quite a hike. It’s still good and doesn’t break the bank.
 
*Glenfiddich Experimental Series - Fire and Cane (NAS) 43% ABV 
     [Peated single malt aged in ex-bourbon, finished for 3 months in rum casks]
     -smelled malted barley sweet, almost corn
     -tasted light oak, trailed quickly
     -w/water smelled floral, citrusy
     -tasted light peat, slight bitter sugar rum and oak
     Interesting flavor mixture. I was not overwhelmed with any one thing.
