Awards/Reviews:
95 Points, Finalist, Great Value - Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2022
"The incredibly layered and complex nose with aromas of cardamom, vanilla beans, allspice, and nutmeg is inviting and intriguing. The palate displays a silky texture with a touch of wood tannin dryness that creates a pleasant and complex profile. Tropical fruit and dried flowers become more evident through the long finish."
Gold - SF World Spirits Competition 2021
94 Points, Top 100 of 2024, Best Buy - Wine Enthusiast
"Billed as a triple cask whiskey, the liquid was finished in barrels that previously held Sherry, bourbon and Marsala. The result is a cinnamon and faint floral aroma, and a palate that sizzles with baking spice. It eventually mellows into flavors of vanilla wafer, cocoa and dried fig, finishing with gingery zing." (Highest Rated and only Best Buy among top Irish whiskey blends)
"Quite impressive, especially considering it’s bottled at just 80 proof and available for under $30 bucks! The mouthfeel is quite nice and the finish keeps you coming back for more. The Busker Triple Cask Triple Smooth is an absolutely stunning value, a bottle I recommend picking up!" - Whiskey Consensus
"Shows what can be done with a blend when you start with good components and lean heavily into the malt instead of the grain. Everything comes together nicely here and ends up being an easy-sipping, and easy mixing, whiskey." - The Whiskey Jug
