Whiskey tasting - Kilbeggan

OK so the Kilbeggan I tasted definitely wasn't a 12 or 15 or 18 yr old Irish whiskey.
Somewhat coarse and grainy it had an afterburn that wasn't fun. Earthy and at times even...gritty!
"Bleh" was the first thought that came to my mind.

Rating - 5/10

Whiskey tasting - Tullamore Dew

A sip on the icy rocks has a spicy taste but not as much burn. With some soda it acquires a much more mellower taste. It doesn't have quite the grainy taste of Scotch. Distinctively milder, smoother and fun to drink. Could detect many other aromas.
