    A good Irish Whiskey.

    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???

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

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

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

            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.

                    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?

                          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.
