I really enjoyed the the aromas and found the flavors to be pleasant. This whiskey really activated the sweet and bitter taste buds in my mouth. I found this to be unique but not an every day whiskey unless it’s in coffee. I feel like Egan’s Vintage Grain would make a great irish coffee or perhaps a fruity cocktail. It’s not a bad whiskey by any means but it was not a complex whiskey either. The spiciness reminds me of a rye more than an Irish Whiskey.
