Description: Sadler’s Peaky Blinder Irish Whiskey
Spirit: Irish Whiskey
Background: Typically not a fan of products riding the coattails of another medium’s success, but I am a fan of the Peaky Blinder show and also being able to buy a mini bottle of something that might illicit some funny reactions and help calibrate the lower end of the scale. Basically, all I know about this is that it is Irish Whiskey. No idea where it was made, what might be in it, or anything else for that matter.

Would I buy a bottle? …
Thoughts: Might have been good enough for the 20s or 30s and just for downing like the characters do, but I would think even they would have a higher standard.
