Smooth and easy to drink doesn't begin to describe this gem. Has a couple drams at a recent whisky tasting and this one knocked my socks off. So smooth, so clean, almost feminine, but oh so delicious.

I say this is dangerous because I think this might be the most approachable, delicious, yet refined dram of whiskey I've ever had. A great way to start (a ruin) a new whiskey drinker.

If you're a fan of less powerful whisky, then you need to save up and give this bottle a try.

@LeFrog Extremely floral and a bit forgettable. I seriously felt like it had flower pedals infused into the bottle. It wasn't fair to put it up against the Midleton and GlenDronach.

Folks...am totally new to this site & am looking for some advice on behalf of my mum. She has a 1984 Bottle of Midleton Very Rare - in the original Box with the certificate etc.. - Long story short - it belonged to my father who passed away 2 years ago this July & she wants to move on and is looking to sell it. Not being a whiskey drinker I've no idea what the best method/place/option would be. Any advice would be really appreciated! Thanks. Ian.

Hi Bolton, First and foremost, I would love to take that off your hands if you still have it and are open to selling it (seriously). Otherwise, I would definitely hold on to it for two reasons; 1) it's a terrific quality whiskey and you're in possession of it's earliest edition and 2) it was obviously a special bottle of your father's being that he held on to it so it's something to definitely keep on the shelf for reasons beyond the contents.
