Finally going to try this and some of the Redbreast line. Where I live this and the standard Redbreasts range from $60-$90. (I paid no more than that for a Chieftains independent bottling of Glentauchers 15 yo Sherry cask Scotch of which only 673 bottles were available.) One of my west coast sources were offering them at about $20-25 less per bottle, then had a free holiday shipping offer. I was hooked!! This is a lovely Irish pot still. Noses of honey, vanilla, fruit, toasted cereal, almond. It is cream in the mouth and the nosed flavors ring true. My first sip was so lovely I didn't even notice the alcohol's slight heat. I became more aware on the second sip--not because it is "hot," but I was able to get my mind past the initial glory of the dram's balanced flavor. That being said, I think this is often over-priced. I was able to get this for $45, but, where I live it goes for $70 and is NEVER on sale.
