It took me too long to get a hold of this, but it was sure worth the wait. A great, full bodied Irish with cascading complexity. I prefer it with a drop or two of water to get into some of the fantastic maple notes I detect, but I think almost everyone who likes whisk(e)y will find something great in this bottle. I wouldn't pay over SRP (like nearly every other bottle i own), but I now get the hype surrounding the search for the most elusive of the Spots.
