I tried it. I was expecting a Sherry bomb but it's overwhelming at all. Very nice whiskey. I would say it gives the 12 a good run for its money. I could easily be converted.
The Lustau has benefited from the few hears in bourbon casks before it was sherried, if that makes sense. I've kept a Mano a Lámh and will definitely be doing a side by side.
Still upset I could never find Mano a Lamh in the US, nor during my trip to Ireland last year. This should definitely be available in the US next week so I will stock up. Love Redbreast and love the sherry influence so this should be a no brainer.
Wow, finally got one! Went to Binny's and it wasn't even on the shelf yet. Saw it stacked up. Can't wait to try it. Too bad I'm still working. $70 in Chicago.
