As a straight dram, this did not meet our expectations. We found the palate to be very unbalanced with a strong vanilla hit and a hot, herby lemon finish that was not to our tastes. While this is a very popular whiskey and may appeal to many, we would not recommend it for those looking for a quality single malt to be had straight. However, for those looking to enjoy it in cocktails, it performs well for the realatively cheap price.

This whiskey pairs beautifully with:
For casual drinking with friends who enjoy a Whiskey Sour, Jamie Ginger, or other whiskey-based cocktails.
If your friends love Jameson and you want to share a cocktail with them, then this is a good choice. However if you are looking for a quality single malt or blended whiskey then we would recommend looking elsewhere.
