Comments:

Smells strange at first, like a cleaning cupboard. Then once on the tongue, it explodes into sweet, fruity flavours. There is a lot of flavour in this whisky (despite being Irish). Apparently there are some 50 yo aged casks blended in. Each annual release differs slightly.

Verdict:

I like this.
