Favourite Irish?

I really need to get some Redbreast next time I want to get some Irish.

I hear raves about it.

Bushmill's Black label and Jameson 12 y.o.

+1. Good and a good value.

Knappouge Castle for a regular tipple, Shannahan's at the steakhous or Locke's for an indulgence.

But in reality, I'm Irish Ill drink anything.

+1 Redbreast

Powers John's Lane is one of the best. Redbreast 15yr then Tullamore DEW Pheonix.

Haven't worked my way up the Irish Whiskey ladder yet. So far I've really only had Jameson and 2 Gingers. Usually mixed with some Ginger ale, though occasionally straight.

I'm generally a Tulamore Dew fan, but I look forward to trying Knappouge Castle, Redbreast and Paddy.

Bushmills Blackbush for me

It's Jameson for me and it is an awesome, super smooth triple distilled whisky (straight,'on the rocks' and/or mixed...with a Cuban cigar),......simply bliss!!!

I am not a regular drinker of whiskeys but my father-in-law really enjoys Irish whiskeys and my wife drinks whiskey on occasion. They enjoy Powers, Bushmills, and Redbreast. We usually give an Irish whiskey to my FIL as a Christmas gift. We'll have to try Tullamore Dew and look out for Green Spot.

I tried most major brands but I always go back to Jameson - Definetely my favorite

Still working on this bottle of Tullamore Dew I got a few weeks ago. It's wonderful stuff.

I only drink a few nights a week and usually only one, so a bottle lasts a long time. I'm also working on a bottle of 100 proof Knob Creek.

Regular Redbreast is very good whiskey, and I see it on the shelf here at several stores.

However, the Redbreast cask strength is exceptional and my favorite Irish (with the exception of my lovely wife).

Unfortunately, the cask strength is not easy to find.

Agreed. Even though it's a bit more expensive than the regular (which I like neat), adding a little water to the cask strength stretches the bottle considerably.

Another for Bushmills, considering i grew up close to the village i have to recommend it. Its the oldest distillery in the world i believe.

For special occasions Midleton is hard to beat!

Agreed. The Green Spot soon will be more readily available in the States along with other RedBreast offerings.
