Need Irish Whiskey Advice...

Decided on Bushmills Blackbush and Michael Collins 10 year single malt. Both are very good - very different. The Blackbush is a bit sweeter and lighter, but has a lot of different flavors going pn. the Michael Collins is lightly peated, so has a definite smoky tone. very complex Irish. Compared to a small batch bourbon, like Jeffersons Small Batch, I find Irish Whiskeys to be a bit smoother and slightly thinner in body, with a much shorter finish. These go very well with a good cigar or nice pipe bowl of a good english blend. Next will try Knappogue Irish Malt 12 Yr. Nice change of pace to add to fine Kentucky bourbons and scotch whiskeys. Thanks for the suggestions.
