Got a bottle of the Bushmills Black Bush Blended as a gift.
The only thing I'd like to know is if it will run in my lawnmower.

[SueRae]

Tullamore Dew is the smoothest whiskey I have ever tasted.(I don’t care for whiskey that much...however..) Light yellow in color, with an oak tone/flavor that could almost pass itself off as a liqeur. Can’t comment on the others.

Now I can’t wait to get home :-)

#7 is very similar to Lagavulin in taste

[SJSAMPLE]

I used to get jugs of TD from the base PX (Germany , 1990) and bring them to a German family that took care of me.

That stuff was CHEAP at the PX.

[Constitution Day]

Thanks! I have never heard of it. I generally prefer Tullamore Dew on the very rare occasion I decide to drink Irish whiskey.

I will check it out, thank you sir!

Jameson’s Irish Whiskey

[Lando Lincoln]

The only thing I'd like to know is if it will run in my lawnmower.

Begorrah!... 'tis a sin indeed to be talkin' in such a blasphemous way on St. Paddy's Day...

I love the stuff.

[FlyingFish]

an egregious omission...Redbreast 12 year old Pure Pot Still Irish Whiskey

[namvolunteer]

Tyrconnell not always easy to find but worth it. Some New Hampshire state stores have it.

Dia déanta fuisce, mar sin ní bheadh Gaeilge riail an domhan!




God made whiskey, so the Irish wouldn't rule the world!

Didn't care for it much, hmm? Are other Irish whiskeys more to your taste, or do you just prefer other spirits?

This fellow has an interesting series of whisky (mostly Scotch) reviews, but this seems like it would apply to eveything from Cutty Sark to Old Crow:

Just messin. I really can't drink the stuff though. Now Guinness is a whole different story........

Anything over 7%ABV tastes like gasoline to me.

I suppose a good London Dry Gin would be somewhat insulting on St Patrick’s Day.
