Redbreast is my favorite. A little pricey, though.
Jameson or Paddy as more of an everyday (though not every day :P) sipper. |

Anything but Jameson. I do like Bullet Rye for sipping. And Makers Mark is a good choice for guzzling.

Laphroaig Quarter Cask or 18 YO, Lagavulin 16 YO when I want something a bit less edgy, Glenrothes or Tamdhu (varying ages) when I want to introduce friends to single malt...

And this is what I have waiting to celebrate St Paddy’s day tonight. Never tried it, don’t know what to expect. I would usually go with Tullimore Dew, wanted to try something different.

I recently picked up a bottle of Laphroaig 10 year, the only incarnation of Laphroaig I have had. It is a unique flavor, I’ll tell you that.

This is one I'm very partial to, from Scotland's smallest distillery. It was one of my late father's favourites too, which makes it rather more special for me.

I expect this whiskey may have a bit of a "chocolate" taste, being finished in stout barrels. Just a guess, though. Now that Irish Whiskey has become more popular, some distillers are looking for ways to provide variations in taste in their product. A word from those that make it. (I heard this from folks at Bushmills and Jameson when in Ireland.) Two fingers in a tub. Ice if you want. A capful of bottled water. The small amount of water opens up the taste. Yes, it does taste better than having it neat. |

My dad drank only Scotch Whiskey until the day he died. He said that Scotch whiskey is made with a precise formula and is quality controlled and inspected by the government. I don't know if this is true or not? Nevertheless, because of that, I also only drank reasonably priced Scotch whiskey whenever I drank whiskey. Johnnie Walker, Grant's, Dewars for example.

Bushmills, the older the better.

While in Northern Ireland, I went through the Bushmills distillery. At the very end of the tour there is an in facility pub. You can sample and buy a number of the water of the gods.
One choice available at the time, was a 50 year old special Bushmills. It was $100.00 a bottle as I recall. It could only be purchased there. I did not buy one. (I later regreted that decision.) It occured to me that those responsible for making that 50 year old whiskey would never see the final product as they would be retired or have met their heavenly reward! |

Good rule of thumb regardless of national origin - most authorities on single malt Scotch I've read advocate a similar method, minus the ice,,,
