Since it was a gift, I can't comment on the price. The sweet smoothness of Irish whiskey meets the peppery kick of Kentucky bourbon. It's an excellent choice served neat after a savory meal like burgers or steak. Adding a spoonful of water truly unlocks the full flavor profile.

A light malt whisky. Sweet on the tongue, with a subtle smoke and oak at the end. Noted once. Drinkable, but not exceptional. Adding an ice cube would likely make it bland. The finish is brief.
I sampled this at a Star Wars themed event at Seven Grand in Austin. While the woody flavor was a bit strong for me, I still enjoyed it a lot. Worth trying.
It's like a mix of bourbon and Irish whiskey. The nose is light and inviting, with a gentle finish. Well-crafted but somewhat lacking in body.
The 16-year expression presented strong vanilla notes and was exceptionally smooth.
A quality single malt.
