Lol it took a while to get back to you.

So what is it? It is like a Jameson trying to be a Middleton in my opinion. So not as smooth as Jameson, it has a little bite but not too sharp and whincey. It has some complexity but no where near a Yellow Spot, Green Spot or Middleton. So yes it does taste like an Irish Whiskey for sure and at the price range it is a contender for Jameson but if you are looking for smooth you just cannot beat Jameson. It is certainly not as harsh as a lot of Irish Whiskeys. A good alternative for brandy for mixing with Baileys lol but as a sipping whiskey I will stick to Jamie or a mild Scotch blend or single malt.
