It's a nice inexpensive Irish whiskey with the signature smokey peatiness. It is also fairly weak (delicate may be a nicer word). Other whiskies in this price range are probably better for Irish Whiskey enthusiasts, however, if you're trying to introduce Irish Whiskey to someone who's never tried it, the mild flavour, attractive traditionally shaped bottle, fancy gold label with the cute little dog picture, would be a great choice to introduce it!
