Received as a gift so I can’t speak to the price. The sweet smoothness of Irish whiskey meets the peppery bite of Kentucky bourbon. Served neat following a savory meal such as burgers or steak is a real winner. Add a spoonful of water to really release full range of flavor.

Light malt whiskey. Sweet on the palate, slight smoke and oak on the finish. One noted. Easy to drink but nothing spectacular. I’m sure if you add an ice cube it’ll be like drinking water. Short finish.
Tried this at Austin’s Seven Grand during a May the 4th themed whiskey night. And while I found it a bit heavy on the wood-shavings flavor, I quite enjoyed it nonetheless. Worth a try.
The love child of a bourbon and an Irish whiskey. Light and inviting nose, gentle finish. Well made but a bit thin.
Had the 16 year. Strong vanilla notes and very smooth.
A good single malt.
