My tasting notes from this episode can also be found below:

Spirit A - Prizefight Irish Whiskey (43% ABV)

Appearance

Clarity: Clear
Intensity: Deep
Color: Lemon
Suggested texture: High viscosity

Nose

Condition: Clean
Intensity: Medium
Aroma characteristics: Baked pear, fresh apples, vanilla, porridge, fresh lemon peel and fresh apricots. Light floral notes.
Other notes: Very light and soft nose, has a hint of a harsh note underneath the soft and fruity notes, almost a hint of nail varnish.
ABV: 40%-45%

Palate

Sweetness: Dry
Texture: Watery, silky, light viscosity
Intensity: Light > medium
Flavor characteristics: Baked pear, Porridge, licorice, pepper corns, burnt toast, light toasted oak notes
Other notes: Much simpler than the nose, but starting to show some maturation flavors. The nail varnish on the nose has softened and is a bit more like a sensation of oak.
Finish: Short to medium finish with some complexity (licorice, oak)
ABV: 40%

Conclusion

Quality level: Very good
Blind guess: Irish blended whiskey

Spirit B - Glendalough 10 Year Black Pitts Porter Irish Whiskey (46% ABV)

Appearance

Clarity: Clear
Intensity: Medium
Color: Gold
Suggested texture: Light > medium

Nose

Condition: Clean
Intensity: Medium
Aroma characteristics: Baked apples, sultanas, dried lemon peel, dried apricots, dry grass
Other notes: Light nose, but has more pronounced notes than Spirit A. Feels dry and almost dusty compared to the freshness of spirit A.
ABV: 45%-50%

Palate

Sweetness: Dry
Texture: Watery, silky, light viscosity
Intensity: Medium > pronounced
Flavor characteristics: Baked apples, maltesers, sultanas, oak, burnt toast, peppercorn
Other notes: Has a slight undefined nuttyness, and starting to nose some leather after a while. So much more powerful than Spirit A but still has the softness of an Irish whiskey. Potentially a single malt, or single pot still. Likely older than spirit A.
Finish: Medium > long very complex (Apples, char, peppercorn)
ABV: 45%

Conclusion

Quality level: Very good > outstanding
Blind guess: Irish single pot still
