I like Irish whiskey. I like sherry. I absolutely love Redbreast 12. This is not that. The finishing seems rushed and the whisky seems young. All the flavors seem like they’re working against one another rather than blending harmoniously. I find this one better on ice or with a little sparkling water. Save your money for Redbreast or a Bushmills single malt if you’re looking for a better Irish expression to drink neat. I will give props for the cool bottle. Unique packaging and not uneasy to pour as some other reviews suggest.
