"I must say I did not have high hopes for this Whiskey, with it being yet another new Irish blend coming onto the market. However, as I nosed and tasted this it reminded me how tasty, fun and complex blended Whiskies can be! Caramel fruity sweetness and well balanced, this offers a great value alternative to Jameson's and the likes of!"
