Any Irish whiskey Drinkers Out There

[Cynthia]

I remember trying Redbreast before and liking it. Good thread -- I've been needing to get some Irish whiskeys, but wasn't sure what I wanted to try.

[The Thing]

Almost every town and region in Ireland had a distillery at some stage there is a fantastic distillery located in the Cooley Mountains of County Louth called "The Cooley Distillery" they have brought back many defunct brands of Irish Whiskey. www.cooleywhiskey.com
For my money it has to be Blackbush as it's not overly expensive and tastes beautiful.
I can see the Irish Whiskey industry becoming important again at with the rise of new markets and a good brand image.

Tough to find...but worth the search!

Only 500 cases are made each year, all for the home market, with most of this sold through Mitchell’s shop at 21, Kildare Street, Dublin.

I had my in-laws bring me some home from a trip to Ireland.

Comments

This is a tremendous whiskey, sometimes giving a sweet-honey feel more associated with Perthshire malts from Scotland. But the pot still is confident enough to confirm this as Irish with a maturity greater than the age of the whiskey used. If you see it, grab it. It’s too much of a high class one-off to ignore.

I'd be remiss if I didn't recommend Powers. My wife's a relative, so there's always a bottle open at our house. Moonshiners and cattle stealers, the lot of them -- but it's good whiskey.
