So the question will be…..is the trade off worth it? Well I guess the only way to check that is to taste it and do a comparison! The good folks at Irish Distillers have indeed given me a wee sample pack for the latest Dream Cask so this afternoon, I intend on taking some time with both whiskeys and hope to have a write up for you on Sunday or Monday.
