The Wendelinus actually packs a punch despite being nice and easy on the way down.

If they only sell it by the half or three-quarter glass, then it must be fairly strong. It must be pushing the 7% mark.

Well, I haven't had it in the US. I have had it abroad though and in most places it was foul. Obviously there are a lot of factors, how the owner has stored it, poured it etc, but personally I find it to be much, much nicer in Ireland.
