pretty smooth classic Irish whiskey

This is my favorite in the $20 Irish price range. The nose has tart white winegrapes and sweet lemon pie, along with a touch of ethanol. It's got a very gentle body, too- caramelized pears, apples, and a touch of the characteristic copper. Higher proof would serve very well. Finishes short with mild dryness on the tongue. It's simple and pretty good, with more character than the competition. Albeit, not by too much.
