This sourced spirit combines a single grain whiskey, a 10-year-old single malt, and a 15-year-old single malt finished in Oloroso sherry, all matured together in a peated cask. A reviewer gave it high marks, stating that even those who claim not to like peated whiskey would struggle to find fault, calling it a rare and wonderful Irish spirit. This was the last tasting before being asked to leave at a previous event. My notes from that time were also very positive: "Actually nice. Hard to know if drunk contributes"

A fantastic peated Irish Whiskey. It presents the sweet peat notes I enjoy from Lagavulin Distillers Edition or Caol Ila Distiller’s Edition, yet it's mellower. I tried this at The Whiskey Bar in San Diego; a big glass cost $26, and I'll absolutely pick up a bottle when I discover its availability.
Sweet notes of caramel, accompanied by fruity, citrus-like tones, merge with a mild peat for a smooth-drinking Irish whiskey.
I really like this, it's very smooth, not overly peaty but has a pleasant sweet-peat character. I purchased this at a shop in Amsterdam for $45 for a 0.7L bottle.
A pleasant peated-finish whisky. Very enjoyable. It finished maturation for 30 months in a 10-year-old Laphroaig cask.
I'm not a fan. The lingering taste in my mouth is unpleasant.
