Phil Alexander 4.0

I got some vanilla and a nice smoky peat note. Better finish than Jameson. A bit hot, though; in my mind, Tully is the best Irish I have found in the US. But Kern compares nicely and at a fair price ($23 in the NC ABC). I tried it chilled, and it is much smoother, without the burn. The Irish features really shine. I normally drink spirits neat, at room temperature. But this one really gets better when chilled.

jbeins 3.0

Very light, easy to drink, but almost tastes watered down. Slightly nutty, but otherwise unmemorable.
