A standout bottle
Tried this side by side with several competitors at a tasting and it stands head and shoulders above them. The nose gives you a fresh maritime breeze — it's immediately apparent this is quality. Then the palate opens up with Smooth and fruity with rowan berry tartness and the grain character shines through. The Medium-long with lingering berry fruit. I've already ordered another bottle. Excellent work from Sliabh Liag Distillers.

A real gem
Picked this up after reading the review here and it's everything they said and more. The coconut drew me in from the first pour. On the palate, floral gorse sweetness are elegant rather than aggressive — exactly what you want from a quality vodka. The floral notes is clean and inviting. Makes a brilliant Martini and equally good sipped neat. This will be a permanent fixture on my shelf.
