This one always throws me a little bit. On the one hand it smells nice and has a pleasantly balanced flavor (moreso than most Irish whiskeys), and yet is a bit lacking in presence. I actually really like everything about it, it just feels like the volume is turned down a touch too low. This is bottled at 40%, and I suspect would benefit from a stronger ABV...maybe 45% or even a little higher. Good, but could be better.
