Paddy's is definitely worth the 20 bucks. Can’t go wrong with Bushmills or Teeling either

I’m not a whiskey connoisseur although I’ve drank my fair share but the night I met Glenmorangie I’ll always (kind of) remember. My wife and I took our honeymoon a year after getting married and we went to visit my buddy and attend his marriage…or one of his marriages in the north/central area of England east of Manchester. His bride, Penny, had a grandfather that flew Lancaster bombers out of Dover during the war and I made the “mistake” of buying him a round. He was in his 80’s back 25 some years ago but he out drank me and I was in my “prime” for drinking. We spent all night drinking and telling stories….me mostly listening and asking questions about his time flying. He flew all the missions required, which as I recall was more than 30….obviously surviving the war and raising a family and drinking whiskey in his 80’s with a young American that recognized my privilege of spending the evening in the company of such a heroic and remarkable man. I remember how easily the Glenmorangie went down and even after washing it down at 3am with a Kebab, fish and chips and mushy peas with curry I woke up and felt decent. 😀

Red Breast 15 and 21 are my favorite and various Jameson bottles are good too. I’m a bourbon guy but enjoy a good Irish whiskey every now and then.

I bought this recently at the local hydration store and it’s excellent. I had not heard of it but took a chance and would buy it again.

You guys south have it made for buying spirits. Here in Canada it costs $45CDN for a 40oz of Famous Grouse blended Scotch.

You have that right Paul.

My favorite Irish is Redbreast 15. Not cheap, but well worth it. The 12 is also very good. Another favorite that's not as expensive is Teeling.

I love Slane.

Wifey went to Ireland, did a whisky tasting, and came home with a bottle of Green Spot. It’s really good, and I’m a bourbon drinker.

Their Stout Cask is exceptional, to my taste.

In Ireland and Scotland a few years back Famous Grouse was everywhere and 20 US for a liter bottle. Best thing about it is the Alaska state bird on the label.

Redbreast …simply grand
