Although I lived in Ireland for a number of years a long time ago when there was only 3 distilleries and drank many a whiskey I was never really wowed with the selection on offer. Fast forward a decade and then getting hold of a bottle of this and it was a revelation. Beautiful oily finish that never ended. I've since moved on and my preference is now to enjoy more higher strength fully flavoured sherry bomb and islays as my mainstay but I still give this a 5 for the quality whiskey it is. The 15 year at 46 % is now my preference.
