Peterson Irish Whiskey

This tobacco fails miserably. This is my first Peterson and I can say that I am very disappointed. Dry and weak smelling in the tin. There is no whiskey smell in this blend, none. This has an odd tin smell, almost like someone with stinky feet took off their shoes. Dank and unbecoming. The smell makes me NOT want to smoke this blend. The flavor matches the smell. Odd and uninviting. Do not waste your money on this. If you want to try this wait till you meet a schmuck like me and ask me for my tin, I would be happy to get rid of this trash.

I bought this tobacco in Moscow on 27/01/2009. I entered a shop, I bough pipe cleaner and in order not to run out of smoke I also bought a tin of Irish Whiskey Peterson. This trip was a total disaster, even the smoke. As soon as I went to the hotel, I opened it and in the beginning I liked the whiskey perfume that emerged. The tobacco was very thinly cut and too humid. I easily filled the bowl, but lighted it with difficulty. The perfumes that I was expecting, did not come out. Burley gave out its bitterness and Virginia a tonque bite (I am to blaim in this, because I smoked it moist and in a rush). From nicotine? Enough up to too much. The perfume in the room passes unnoticed, which is good.

Conclusion: I tryed an other smoke, wrote my review and in 2-3 months I will have forgotten that I tryed it. I hope to also forget a possible re-order. Only Connoisseur's Choice is wht I like from Peterson after all.

Well this is something different entirely. It's not latakia, or virginia, or really an aromatic. I find no taste of whiskey at all.

The taste is very full and unique. Maybe this is what flue-cured tobacco tastes like.

The sidestream smoke is horrendous -- inhale a whisp of this and you'll be coughing your lungs out. Worse than second hand cigarette smoke.

This is a great outdoors smoke for those who like strong tobacco. For the rest of us, zero stars.

This was a dissappointment, I have to say. I was hoping for a similar smoke to Players Whisky of lamented passing, but its really not up to the ticket.

It smells nice in the tin, slightly alcoholic with some dark fruitiness but when lit it's hot and yet insipid. It's not that its a bad tobacco, its just not a very decent one and for the equivalent, my American brothers, of $17.88 for a 50 gram tin need I say more. Yes that is typical of the horrendous price we pay for the privelage of smoking over in the UK 🙁

I will jar up the rest with some 5100 and leave it for a year or two methinks

I've started with Peterson tobaccos by choosing "Sherlock Holmes" and I tried this one yesterday... Unfortunately, when I opened the tin, I felt that the smell wasn't so pleasant. The problem with this tobacco, is that it says "WHISKEY" but I'm still looking after it ! The whiskey aroma is just inexistent ! Although, the smoking is mild and tolerable, I don't find anything special in this tobacco. Try "Sherlock Holmes" or "University Flake" !

I picked up a tin of this in Italy about two years ago a have yet to go through ten bowls of it. I did just smoke it for this review and my thoughts are still the same. Bitter, sharp and rough on my breathing apparatus. Bushmill's tobacco this is not. One star for nicotine content.

Well, First things First. Happy New Year to all. Wishing the best for everyone! Be Healthy, Be Happy, and Be Prosperous!!!

That said, on to business. Just tried this Irish Whiskey blend, after reading a good recommendation for this. And all I could taste was flowers and perfume, and not much else.

I donated this tin to my local tobacco shop, hoping someone out there may befriend it, and save it from mediocrity, or worse yet, the local dump.

My thoughts: Blends like this ought not to foul a good piece of briar, or a good piece of anything!!!

Sorry, in all honesty, I cannot recommend this blend. Simply no redeeming value. My apologies if I may have offended anyone out there.

Good Day

I just couldn't make a connection with this one. There was always a hint of sharpness that I just couldn't get past.

Nicotine content is respectable, but not overly high. The topping was odd tasting. Not at all what I expected.

For decades I've stayed away from most Peterson tobacco products, with the exception of Sherlock Holmes which simply stem from personal reasons and fond memories. So, it was with a bit of reluctance that I thought I'd endeavor to return to them, and, with of all things, Irish Whiskey. Needless to say, my reluctance was well justified.

This is simply a pitiful smoke from start to finish. The minute you open the tin, you are assaulted by not the whiff of anything remotely resembling any Irish whiskey I've ever had the fortune of tasting, but rather some odd smell that reminds one of some mixture of fish, cleaning products, shoe polish and, lastly, tobacco. It's terrible. It actually took convincing to not throw the entire tin out and not try any whatsoever. But, for purposes of this review alone, I went forth.

The smoke itself did not improve the situation, nor the experience. Nothing flavorful, nor anything remotely resembling the experience I've read others mention here. It was absolutely a waste of time. Definitely stay away from this at all costs.
