Say what you about the celiberty endorsement, with that said not bad as far as a budget whiskey. Nose: slight clover honey, vanilla ( almost like cake frosting) and a bit of forest like dead limbs Taste: thin oily texture, very bright and shiny grassy notes. I would love to see how this would be at 50%abv instead of 40% Finish: slim to medium Overall: try it, for what it is a meh Irish whiskey. Not bad but not great I believe that with a bit more time and bit more character in abv you might have a KO rather than blah.
