Tasted this, as well as some Jameson, at my grocery store's Irish Whiskey tasting this evening... Not bad. I got some "apple" from it. Can't recall much more. I'm a bourbon drinker, and this was closer to Scotch within the overall Whiskey spectrum. Liked it way more than the Jameson, for sure. Later in the night, I had Redbreast 12 Year single pot still. If my memory serves, I may have preferred this over it. I'm no authority on Irish Whiskey. But since I tasted some tonight, I wanted to document it with a review. It's definitely smooth and a good sipper. Just not my thing.
