mathman; Top of the morning to you sir, I hope the day's behaving in your neck of the woods thus far and you're well. I'd hoped you'd show up as I always enjoy your input in such arcane topics!  Our eldest is an admitted coffee snob and when she talks about coffee, she'll go down the rabbit hole of what setting she's used on the fancy hand grinder she uses. Then her coffee machine looks like mission control for the space shuttle and is of course made somewhere in Europe. All that to say sir, I really do love that some folks are passionate about flavors and tastes. It makes life more interesting and I enjoy hearing from folks such as yourself or our daughter on matters they've put some time and effort into. All the best and good luck on your hunts this fall mathman. Dwayne Is it strange that as I read Dwayne's prose this evening, I am hearing an intense Irish accent in my head? Maybe it is just that glass of wine and the head cold.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

Idaho Shooter;
Good evening to you sir, I hope you're keeping warm and dry despite the head cold out in West Treasure Valley tonight.
Truly I am sorry to read of the ailment, there's a bunch of wicked colds going around on our side of the medicine line as well and I hope it doesn't last long for you.
Perhaps it might be the glass of wine that makes you hear the Irish accent, because although I'm not that much bigger than a Leprechaun my heritage is Teutonic for the most part as far as we can figure out.
Being a Canuck I do have an accent for sure, but my prairie relatives suggest I've developed a "BC drawl" since we do talk slower out here than the folks from the frozen flat lands where I was born and raised.
Get better soon sir and thanks once more for the chuckle.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Dwayne

I'm so hurt that whoever reinvented Powers with the new bottle and higher price ruined my little secret, I settle for the cheap stuff now - Jamesons! The Irishman ain't bad after the first burn. Ezra Brooks might be Irish. It's alcohol. 90 proof. It's cheap enough, it might be Scotch.

I prefer rye over bourbon... and Irish over scotch.
Rye grain is a fine product... much neglected... often maligned.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Good Scotch has gotten untouchable here with Utah's 46% "sin tax" plus inflation. (A 750 bottle of Glenmorangie is $75) So I've begun drinking Irish this winter. I like both Tullamore and Jameson's. I'll happily drink Irish or good Canadian, but I'd really prefer a Scotch without having to drop down to Dewar's or (shudder) Military Special on the bottom shelf.

Kilbeggan and Writers Tears are my favorite Irish whiskeys so far. So much to drink, so little time.

I shop at the AF Base Exchange, but it's the same at state liquor stores. In Utah, the state controls the liquor supply, and it is run by a board of people who until recently were all teetotalers. You can imagine the weird assortment of labels that resulted - not to mention that hefty "sin" tax applied at the wholesale level. Stores can't stock anything that the state board doesn't supply, so liquors that don't sell well aren't stocked. That eliminates niche brands, most top shelf stuff, and lots more. Plenty of cheap vodka, not a lot of good whiskeys.

What's your favorite Irish Whiskey?
Was drinking Donagal until it was no longer available locally.
Tried two Gingers. OK but not great, then Kilbeggan. Best "inexpensive" Irish (to me!) yet.
Did try RedBreast. Good, but not worth three times the price.
Any other suggestions? Thanks!

I prefer rye over bourbon... So do I, unless there's as much corn as rye in the mash bill.

I've had a 12 y/o and 18 y/o Jameson, they were both pretty good. Green spot is nice. It think I have some 12 y/o Readbreast Ezra Brooks might be Irish. It's alcohol. 90 proof. It's cheap enough Lux Row has quit making the cheap 90 proof Ezra. Enjoy it while you can. Good Scotch has gotten untouchable here with Utah's 46% "sin tax" plus inflation. (A 750 bottle of Glenmorangie is $75) Is that for their 10 y/o? If so that's crazy. That's double normal retail. Do you get a break on the High West products? Their bourbon is pretty good.

I gave a former co-worker a doe my grandson shot early youth season.
She brought me a bottle of Jameson Irish Whiskey.
We were both very happy.

Got a bottle of Redbreast 12 year cask strength for Christmas. I will open it tomorrow since I'm off.
Like Bu shmill's Black Bush and Tulamore D.E.W. As daily drinkers.
