[BamBam]

I currently have Bushmills Blackbush. the last step in this whiskey is to store it in a sherry barrel.

Red Breast tops the list of Irish whiskies for me.
Smooth, mellow, flavorful, etc. etc. (please feel free to add any superlatives).
Top of the heap remains Red Breast.

Same here, Red Breast is great stuff.

I've heard a lot of good things about Red Breast, but have yet to try it. I like Bushmills and not too much on Jameson.

Just trying my first drink of Bushmills. I really like the flavor and it is pairing well with the CC Monte I'm enjoying

Tried a new one recently, "Feckin Irish Whiskey". It was on sale for $20 for the fifth. While it isn't a Red Breast or Green Spot quality whiskey, it will give others in the $20 range some true competition.

I love both, Bushmills and Jameson. I buy both, often. My favorite of the two, is Jameson. Jameson 1780 aka 12 yr is always in my desk drawer (home office). I also have a couple bottles of Jameson 15-year old Pot-Stilled (purchased three bottles on my last trip to Ireland). This is my special occasion drink, at $110 per bottle, I can't afford to drink it daily. It is my all-time favorite Irish whiskey.
Damn, I'm gettin' thirsty.
Also try; RedBreast ($45) and Knappogue ($35), also very tasty.

I haven't seen this around, but I'll b eon the lookout. Anyone else have any good Irish whiskeys that can be had for cheap?

Just picked up a bottle. Pretty smooth for the price range, similar to Powers but a little more complex. Maybe just different. Definitely worth a shot if you're in the market for cheap feckin whiskey.

I found another new Irish Whiskey: The Knot.. They have good ads posted on YouTube, I will be picking up a bottle and comparing to other Irish in the $25 price range. I am just glad for a new blend from the 2 distilleries. Perhaps we will see another distillery open in the future? I have been pounding Tullamore
Dew tonight to fight insomnia; ... If anyone has had a chance to try The Knot yet lemme know; otherwise watch the ads on Youtube for a giggle...

The Knot isn't very good IMHO. It is way too sweet. Though a bad comparison, think of SoCo but with the Irish finish..

In the amusing advertisements, the Irish codger drinks it in downed shots; perhaps if you don't sip your whiskey you will enjoy The Knot. I would recommend Feckin' if you are looking to try something new, or stick with your old favorite.

I have only tried regular and black label bushmills. I liked Black Bush better.
