I think all the makes that have been posted are good.  my personal favorite is jameson 12 years old.  I drink it without water or ice.  in my opinion is the one of the best sipping whiskys ever.

american whiskys are ok for mixed drinks but never to sipped.  they can't hold a candle to scotch whiskys and forget about even mentioning them when discussing something so fine as a good irish whisky.

Never tried Irish, I do enjoy my Scotch though. Maybe I'll give it a shot.. <--- get it?


Mixing whiskey with anything but ice or water should be a hanging offense.

I can tell you've never ventured into bourbon.  Shame!

my wife is a bourbon drinker she favors maker's mark.  if we ever happen to meet ask me to mix you any bourbon cocktail.  I am probably the best whisky sour maker you will ever know.  aside from cocktails bourbon is barely palatable and in my case triggers a gag reflex.  bourbon is crap.  american beer is piss.  we should stay out of the alcohol making business, we suck at it.

I'm going to have to ask you to give up not only your man card, but your citizenship as well.  There's plenty of mexicans who would gladly disagree with you for a crack at american life.  :rofl



Anyway, you only need to look at what happens with Bourbon barrels after they are finished aging with them to truly judge which is better.  I won't ruin the surprise for you.

Nilsen, I can't reccomend Knappogue Castle strongly enough. It's quite simply the best Irish whiskey I've ever tasted.
