The German company The Whisky Agency bottled a cask of Irish whiskey in 2017 for Komplex Whiskey & Hasse². Who can make heads or tails of that? The the label bursts in simplicity, but it is of course the contents that matters, which is complex and magnificent.

A very fruity and almost tropical nose on apricots, peach, parma violets and a candy-like trait. Do you remember those Superman logos? The gummy candy with apricot taste and sugar? Ah yes, where is the time? But that's what this nose reminds me of.

Nice mouthfeel. Immediately very sweet on peach and apricots, followed by all kinds of citrus fruit and soft notes of nuts and a good spiciness. Fine strength, by the way. From the second step forward it becomes very tropical indeed. Absolutely delicious.

Now that is a pleasantly long, warm finish.

What a lovely whiskey indeed. If I had to make a guess, I would say Bushmills, but this might as well come from the stables of Cooley. In any case: magnificent.
