Irish Whiskey?
 
So far I've sampled three varieties of Irish whiskey and of the three, found Connemara Cask Strength Peated Single Malt to be enjoyable enough that I'd like to buy a bit of it.

The Jameson 18 year Limited Reserve was okay and I would drink it again, but no desire to buy a bottle.

Lastly, I've just tried a sampler bottle of the white labeled Bushmills and at first taste, it was nothing I cared to try again. Later after pouring some in a glass I found it much more acceptable and may even buy a larger bottle next time around.

For a huge Islay fan who likes Connemara, are there any other Irish bottlings I should keep an eye out for?

I use Bushmills in my Irish coffee. :rolleyes:

if you liked the jameson 18 yr try the Redbreast 12 or 15 yr pot still Irish whisky. It has won Irish whiskey of the year a couple times and its a kick ass Irish whisky for the price. That or any of the Tryconnel's , but the Tryconnel is a bit more expensive but worth it.

I think I'll be trying as many of the Irish whiskies as I can readily get my hands on.

I'm drinking a Redbreast cask strength at home right now and it is really good. A little pricey at around $85. Also, I'm very fond of the Knappogue Castle single malt Irish whiskies. Bushmills single malts are pretty respectable too.
