If you're wondering the answer is yes - it tastes like someone took a robust Tennessee whiskey and mixed it with an Irish whiskey. So on the palette, you've got the Heaven's Door heat right in your face, with wood/spice notes. but as it goes down the hatch... The heat dissipates quite a bit and you get the Redbreast smoothness (and if I had to guess, this would be a Redbreast 12) with a hint of vanilla. But to me it came in waves and not all at once which was interesting. Ultimately I imagined this would be some new and insane tasting profile; a happy marriage with little heat/spice. But no it literally tastes like someone mixed bourbon and Irish whiskey in a barrel then bottled it. I imagine if you did that at home it would taste fairly similar. Didn't hate it at all, just saying this isn't a new bold frontier of whiskey.
