Default Re: Need Irish Whiskey Advice...

I love Irish whiskey. As "mid-priced" means different things to different people I'm excluding the "entry-level" whiskies like plain old Jameson's (which I love), Bushmills, Tullamore Dew, Kilbeggan, etc., and I've tried to keep my recommendations to <$60:

- Green Spot, if you can find it. Very tasty, but made in limited production.
- 12-year old Jameson
- Jameson's Gold (one of my favorites)
- Tyrconnel Single Malt
- Connemara. This is an interesting one because it's peated so has some smokiness to it like a Scotch.
- Bushmill's 10-year old or 16-year old
- Knappogue Castle
- Michael Collins Single Malt
- Tullamore Dew 10-year
- Redbreast

If you're willing to spend about $80-$90, Jameson's 18-Year Old is a phenomenal whiskey, up there with some of the best I've ever had.

YES. Redbreast is my favorite. The slightly more expensive Cask Strength 12 Year is far and away my favorite Irish ever.
