Im gonna start trying out some Irish Whisky. Ive now tried most of Scottish brands and found some favorites but now its time to start on the Irish to see if there are any gems to be found.

I like my whisky with the glass filled until 2 cubes just about floats without touching the bottom of the glass.

So I challenge the community to find the first two i really should try on the rocks and post your favorite among them

the choises:

Jameson
Bushmills
Tullamore Dew
Clontarf

Just stick with Jack and drink it straight from the bottle.

I found Jameson's to be highly over rated, But I generally prefer Scotch Whisky. Sounds like a fun little experiment though.

Yeah i may not end up liking them, but i think i should give them a go before i dismiss them. From what i hear form other whisky fans the irish brands have been way underrated until recently.

That of course was a joke.

Here's the Irish Whiskey's you should try:

Jameson -- I believe it still holds the title as the #1 selling brand of Irish in the world

Aldo, you may want to try Cooley's

BUSHMILLS!!!!!!!!

(If my ancestors hadn't left Ireland 243 years ago, I would have loved a job at the factory.)

And Nilsen....take pride in that drink....Irish are just shipwrecked Norwegians!

Jameson's is really good, though a tad too pricey for me to drink it a lot. Plus, it mixes REALLY well with diet coke (specifically diet coke) for any of your lady friends.

Wait a second........didn't you have a thread before with a bunch of highly potent drinks for the "lady friends"? I'm starting to see a pattern...................... .
