A very beautiful nose and it continues to the finish like a red thread. I really like the Ballymorgan!-
Sweet, grainy and fruity pastry aromas put me in a positive mood. There is also white wine and fruit salad, and I find the pineapple particularly dominant. pastry and fruit? I have the association with Jaffa biscuits. Also vanilla and did I mention how mild it is on the nose? Not? It is mild and I can still find wine or fruit gums with a clear freshness!
-
Sweet and a powerful start that the nose would not suspect. English wine gum with orange and malty notes with biscuits... Jaffa biscuits! I added a few drops of water, which makes it velvety soft and creamy. Slightly harsher nuances resonate with...
-
Pretty long! Sweet wine notes, malty, pineapple sweet pastry and red wine cream. The mouthfeel is oily and tingly. Then I have marzipan and while exhaling, red wine cream again and again.

Very floral and fruity at first, but also notes of candy, sugar and port wine. Then come the Waterford spices, with a vengeance this time: chili, ginger, bay leaf, lavender and licorish. It's too unbalanced for me and a bit too artificially sweet. Not sure how that happened, might be the casks.Archer scored this whisky 87 points
I confess: The notes are almost identical to the ones I wrote for Ballymorgan 1.1. The age difference is marginal: 2 months and a few crushed ones. The barrel composition is not identical, but similar:
1.1
37% FIRST FILL US
18% VIRGIN US
27% PREMIUM FRENCH
18% VIN DOUX NATUREL
1.2
34% FIRST FILL US
20% VIRGIN US
23% PREMIUM FRENCH
23% VIN DOUX NATUREL
Sure thing, actually. And yet, now that I have the 1.2 in the glass, I am a little surprised about my rating of the 1.1. The finish is actually not that short, and in the nose the notes of the 1.1 somehow also lacked the toffee and caramel notes ... In any case, the 1.2 has more than deserved his / my 87 points, and with the best will I can not say whether the gain compared to 1.1 has objective reasons in the form of a little more maturity or subjective reasons based on the increasing personal conviction that the Waterford stuff is just delicious. At this point, at this moment, but ultimately, I don't care. :)-
Toffee, malt, caramel, plus dried herbs and the scent of dried flowers. Cold coffee grounds mixed with block malt, yeast dough and a hint of dried lavender. Marjoram, chervil, tarragon. And yet there are also hints of a fresh note of freshly sliced red apples and mirabelle plums.
-
Sweet apple crumble, malt, toffee, milk chocolate. And then a dry note of wood comes around the corner pretty quickly, bringing notes of leather and tobacco leaves with it. Slightly tart herbs on the tongue - marjoram and chervil to it - give it a certain depth. Tart honey, sugar beet syrup.
-
Delicately tart, not so short at all. Fudge, caramel, dark chocolate, and cold coffee bring up the rear.

Pours clear, pale blondeyellow. Scent is mild woody, some grains, not very pronounced. Taste is full, intense, sharp boozyness. High abv, intense whiskey - but not overly specific to me.MaltMonkeyPetro scored this whisky 85 points

Young cheeky fruity whiskey. For four years of aging, a good result.-
Red apple, greens, citrus fruits, a little sourdough and a lot of malt tones.
-
Dry, pungent, malty, fruity and coarse tannins.

Short, spicy, with a lot of malt flavors and a sweet fruity flavor.

This Ballymorgan 1.2 edition is not really in balance if you ask me. Where the nose seems to be rather lean, the palate and finish are bolder and a bit rough (spice). I've detected more toffee and less herbal influence compared with other expressions. I wouldn't purchase this one.-
Smells a bit leaner than some of its siblings. All in all, the malty (cereal) and buttery (cookies) touch is there, just as a herban and earthy side (fennel seeds, underwood). There is toffee apple and juicy green fruit (unripe green kiwi). Seems to be a bit peppery too but I can only find out in the mouth.
-
Fuller than most parts of the nose would suggest. The fullness is shown in notes of toffee, apple pie, honey, cereal bars and dark fruit. The expected spiciness is there: pepper and quite some ginger powder.
-
Moderate, and rather earthy and spicy. Dark fruit, oak, underwood, ground coffee and a hint of bitter cocoa. Further, quite some ginger and pepper. Rather drying.
