A good Irish Whiskey.

[Veganpunk]

So we've been watching a lot of Rescue Me, and Dennis Leary is constantly drinking in it. Do you guys have any recommendations for a good, not too expensive Irish Whiskey???

[Connavar]

most of the stuff bushmills makes is good and they have a very broad price range, but even their lower end stuff is good

[heders]

I have heard Highland Park is supposed to be good. Don't know about the price though.

[Veganpunk]

Cool. I want to be able to just drink it straight. I'll take the word of anyone who has a Big Lebowski quote!

[Connavar]

greenore is a good one too, not TERRIBle on price but not the cheapest, around $50 for a 750 ml

[Vegan's Wife]

As long as you don't start drinking something that smells like bourbon, we are good.

Can't go wrong with Jameson's, but also try Black Bush or Bushmills.

They're all good, non-expensive blends.

Well that's two for Bushmills. Might go with that.

Jameson is great. Best Irish whisky imo

I agree.

Jameson and Bushmills are both good, but the Jameson has a more robust flavor IMO. Bushmills is a little lighter/milder, easy to drink. A few months ago I had a night where I was pounding the Bushmills like it was water, and I paid the price for it later.

Some will tell you Jameson is the drink of Irish Catholics, and the Bushmills is for the Protestants, but that's not exactly true.

Get a bottle of each and try them both!

Hmm. Three for Jameson......

I always thought Jameson was like the poor mans Irish Whiskey?

[WickedKitchen]

Black bush. It's my favorite.

I do prefer Jameson's over regular Bushmills though. If you want a wicked light one that is too easy to drink try Tullamore Dew which is also fairly inexpensive. My brother-in-law gave me a glass of "The Knot" a few weeks ago. I wasn't impressed. It was almost like a cordial. Too sweet for my liking.

Black Bush doesn't even require ice. YMMV.

Jameson's in total agreement. The triple distilled process really makes a difference on a hangover.

If you're looking for something top-shelf, try the Redbreast. I never have, but now that you've got me thinking about it, I want to.
