A very typical, rather appealing, Irish. If you like whiskey, you'll likely enjoy this. I did although I think the price is a little punishing. The big plus is the very definite and appealing impact of the chestnut finish...it pushes a good drop higher. A definite tea note and a clean, forest kind of mouthfeel. Not dissimilar to some Japanese products. The wood brings spice and perhaps sweet fruit. Appealing. Doesn't shout. Original. Glad I tried it. Not sure though I need a second bottle, this goes down as a successful experiment.
