Is this whisky? It made everyone's face turn red around me. That's normally something that is relegated to cheap grain alcohol. It tasted like smooth Jameson. It tasted like you described whisky to someone. They'll make hay by selling it as special whisky to some goofy bars, but you could literally see which server tried it and which did not by how red their faces were. The answer is, you can make smooth 'whisky' by cheating, but it's not really whisky.
