My favorite Irish is a vote for Tullamore Dew. Very smooth.

If it's not distilled in Scotland, it's just a guessing game. Fixed it for you ........ The rest don't make the cut.  Slàinte Mhath

Well, I picked up a jug of Connemara!
I like it just as well as single malt Islay Scotch!
$40. a jug here, and good Scotch is $55.
I think I found a great Irish Whiskey!
Thanks again for the advice!

Good deal.
For those readers new to the game, Connemara is peated whiskey. If smoky Scotch isn't for you, than neither is this particular Irish.

My search started and stopped with Jameson. Because you liked it, or hated it?

Best inexpensive Irish is Paddys. Just my opinion but for 20 bucks, it’s worth a try. Love my bushmills, teeling, green spot( fairly expensive) etc.

mathman;
Do you know if there are other Irish Whiskeys that are peated besides Connemara?
I really enjoy that peated flavor.
Thanks! Virgil B.

even a cheap bourbon beats the snot out of Irish Whisky That depends. If you're referring to Irish such as Redbreast or Green Spot, then I say bullshit. this.
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

Cheap bourbon, as with most cheap alcohol, is only suitable for mixing.

I did take a sip of one several years ago that had a distinct vanilla flavor. If that sounds familiar to anyone, please let me know what it may have been. A friend had ordered Connemara and they brought him this instead.
(Mild Hijack) I bought several bottles of Benriach Peated - Cask Strength for friends this year. It was very interesting. Peated Speyside.
Broncos are officially the worst team in the nation this year.
