Blue is good and smooth, but the cost is beyond what I would pay for any bottle. But to each their own. Somebody once put a fistful of ice into a glass and poured me some and I cringed so goddamn hard. At least try it neat when you open yours, and if you pour any for anybody else, ask how they'd like it. I believe that it doesn't need to be mellowed by ice. Might as well have just been Jameson at that point lol. No shade intended, but just save your money if you can't tell the difference.
