would that not be along the lines of irish mist etc.. distillers produce light stuf while they wait for the whiskey to mature. fairly pointless if its 18-22% . i dont drink whiskey but when i do i like a good burn not something you could drink a half a bottle of.

22% is one of those figures that's significant from an excise or Revenue commissioners point of view. Can't remember what it is. I think you might need a distilling licence to go any higher.

I've had this and it seems to be more of a whiskey liquer ala Irish mist but less in alcohol content.
I have to say I quite enjoyed it,there is a serious lack of low volume spirits in Ireland and it could fill the gap.I would be inclined to drink it as an aperitif,such as a pastis (not a fan),where as I wouldn't a whiskey.
