I tend to just drink scotch malts(surprise surprise, eh?!) but if I'm drinking "cheaper" blends I can't stomach Bells, Grouse etc. but I can drink Jamesons all night long.

I am not too experienced with Irish whiskey, but I have a bottle of Jamesons, and that's all I've ever had. Brother-in-law gave it to me as he's from Ireland. It's very nice. Triple distilled which helps I'm sure.

Redbreast 12 and 15yr.
Pure Pot Still. Quality!
They have a new cask strength Redbreast 12 yr coming to America soon. I can't wait. The tasting notes I read were great!

I'm going to buy a bottle of 12 tonight when I'm out getting something else. I'm all out.

I had some Michael Collins 10 yr old single malt the other night for the first time. I enjoyed it! I didn't know that they made a single malt.

Head over to JJ's in a few hours and maybe I'll let you have some.

I always seem to come back to Jamesons 12 year old. It is just that bit smoother IMO.
I must tidy up the bar.

Probably not. I just figured we could finish off the good stuff if there happened to be any left.

Try Tullamore Dew. Though I'm generally a Scotch drinker, this Irish is excellent.

Not tried many Irish whiskies but my favourite Scots was Laphroaig 10 year old it was a favourite of mine,and when I could afford it Glenlivit Nadurra and Glenmorangie .
