First peat with leather, some ashes. Then appear in the background the fruits (expected from a good Irish!). On the palate, the balance between peat and juicy fruit improves as the tasting progresses, it's very beautiful. The finish is a ping-pong between fruit notes and medicinal aromas. Note that the alcohol is superbly integrated. In short, another Irishman whom I adore. 91 that end in 92.

Irish single malt 24 yo 1991 (50,2%, Sansibar ‘Samurai’ 2015, bourbon cask, 232 btl.) Nose: it has this typical tropical fruitiness (lime, green banana, green mango, pineapple) but in a lighter way than some others. There’s also the peaty side, wet tobacco leafs, a little camphor. Excellent, just a tad less expressive. Mouth: this time more peppermint, eucalyptus and other lightly medicinal touches. Hints of smoked fish. Granadilla, cara cara, pink grapefruit and bananas in the background. Citrus green tea. Salty liquorice. Finish: long, with lots of salt, leafy notes and smoke.

This one has more prominent leafy and medicinal notes compared to some of the other 1991s. Excellent whisky, no doubt, just a little less sexy because of the lower fruitiness.

Quote Whiskyfun.com - October 20, 2015

Irish Malt 24 yo 1991/2015 (50.2%, Sansibar, bourbon, 232 bottles)
The label’s so funny! It’s a if Yamazaki were putting leprechauns or
Celtic harps onto their labels… Colour: straw. Nose: wait wait wait,
this is different. It’s got ‘green’ smoke, lapsang souchong, garden
bonfire, tobacco, cigars, green banana skin… And even summer truffle
(tuber aestivum) and dried mint leaves. Right, mint tea. Quite
different, very nice. No water need at 50.2%, pfff… Mouth: I find this
totally perfect, really. That’s because I adore menthol, truffles, and
all things mildly smoky. Lapsang again, cigar ashes, salty/smoked fish…
What it may lack is a little more complexity, but we’re nitpicking.
Finish: quite long, with a perfectly un-Scottish kind of green and salty
smoke. A touch of gewürztraminer in the aftertaste – and bananas of
course. Really. Comments: we’re bordering perfection. SGP:643 - 89 points.
