PERFECT choice for a blind tasting event!!!!! Tastes like a nice lightly peated scotch smooth very sweet sherry like background briefly before the light Smokey peat shows. Now the debate for an Irish whiskey it is truly unique smooth and tasty 4/5 but for 80$ cad you can get a decent highland park or glenrothes something that tastes a littler better :) so compared to scotch 3.5/5
