Scotch Whiskey vs. Irish Whiskey

Redbreast is a very nice whisky. Black Bush is another irish favorite. This thread reminds me that I need to stock up prior to St. Patricks Day

Of note Glen Breton is still around so I guess they won their legal fight.

Having spent a great deal of time in both Countries, I can vouch that both scotch and irish whiskey can be blended. However both can be singles also. Depends on where you get it.
What lands in the US from Ireland is typically blended. Whereas a lot of scotch comes in as single malts. Earlier someone posted that the easiest way to tell the difference is by the peaty/smokey taste. This is completely false. They both have those that have been aged in peat casts.
It really difficult to tell the difference. I personally like Irish Whiskey around St. Pats day and single malts around Robbie Burns Birthday.

ENJOY BOTH.

Yes IMO. Both can be good. My preference is for the Scotch. But these days we drink mostly wine-big change since I was a bachelor.
