Irish Whiskey
Anyone have a favorite Irish Whiskey? I am partial to the standard Bushmills and have tried a number of Irish Whiskeys and still enjoy Bushmills the most. I have tried a few single-malts but don't think they are worth the premium price IMHO. I had some Knappogue SM recently that was pretty good.

Re: Irish Whiskey
In my irish coffee I use Jamesons.. I much prefer a single malt scotch if I compare the two side by side.. However you can't drink irish Coffee with Scotch.

Never had one I didn't like. I'm awfully partial to Black Bush, though.

Re: Irish Whiskey
John Powers and Sons is pretty good, it has sort of a fruity finish to it, like they distilled it with a splash of peach syrup.

 I do prefer Jamesons in an Irish coffee for some reason. I am sure there are higher end brands out there so I will not read this thread any longer for I have too many "top shelf" tastes. As they say I have a tiffany's taste on a Wal-Mart budget. T

Re: Irish Whiskey
I've only tried Jameson's and Bushmills, but of the two, I prefer Bushmills.

Re: Irish Whiskey
Question; What is the general difference between Irish and Scotch whisky? I love single malt scotch but I haven't really explored the Irish ones.

Re: Irish Whiskey
When I crossed the North Channel regularly (Stranraer to Larne) I became acquainted with a fellow who offered to supply me with poteen (or poitin, if you prefer, but pronounced pot-cheen in both versions, and meaning an illicit distillate like moonshine). Having lived in a community where Polish refugees made their own potato vodka, useful for stripping paint or removing oil based stains, I was reluctant to accept for fear of going blind. However, this stuff was properly made from barley, rather than potato mash, by an old Antrim distilleryman. It was said to be as smooth as cream, but almost clear because it had not been matured in wooden casks. Probably the perfect accompaniment to an illicit cigar from the other side of the Atlantic. History does not record whether or no I have ever accepted either of these temptations, but I feel sure both would be excellent with strong robusto coffee.

Re: Irish Whiskey
Actually got a chance to go to the Bushmills distillery in Northern Ireland back in 2000, pretty cool place. Not as cool as the Guiness factory but still pretty cool. I would have to say I personally like Jameson the best, but Tullamore, and Powers are also very good. If you ever see a bottle of Celtic Crossing, that is most excellent, very difficult to find in the states... I think I've only seen it one time. Also theres a new import coming in that I really like. Michael Collins is being imported now by the guys who bring us Jager and Corazon tequilla... and is a really nice top notch wiskey..
