John L. Sullivan Blended Irish Whiskey Review
When Irish whiskey–haters think of the category, this is the archetypal flavor profile they surely think of. Extremely light in color, aroma, and body, with mere hints of “whiskey” going on. But delve a bit deeper, ignore your cravings for HAZMAT, and you’ll find plenty of nuance here to enjoy: a slight fruitness, some toasty grains, and a spicy little finish.
