Cooley is definitely becoming my favorite Irish distillery

Nose

As the label would suggest, this is very fruity & fresh, grassy, typical of an Irish whiskey

Body

Sweet, honey, sugars, grapefruit, oranges, very fruity, full bodied whisky that’s surprisingly light for a 54,8% ABV dram

Finish

Long finish, a very refreshing light easy-to-drink summer dram despite the high ABV and being distilled in 2002 so relatively young
