The whiskey is a golden hay color in the glass. On the nose, Concannon offers light, floral notes, and a faint honeydew sweetness with a touch of malt and vanilla. A first sip offers a dry, cereal grain and wheat flavor, accented with spice throughout. The finish offers a medium-length, dry burn, leaving you with more malt. Ice brings a chewier mouth feel and a maltier flavor profile, with a honeyed, slightly nutty finish.
