Absolutely fantastic pour. May have the opportunity to buy a bottle of Batch 3 Single malt soon. Has anyone tried batch 3? Also still wish their Pot Still was available at an affordable price in the US

The above produce most of our favorites. What are some lesser known distillers?

Bonus points if they distill their own stuff instead of being a NDP.

Recently I visited Pearse Lyons distillery in Dublin and guide said that since the Dublin whiskey fire (1875) it is not allowed to mature whiskey in Dublin. I was surprised by this information so wanted to find more, but didn't find anything. So is that even true?

Based in Galway/Dublin, looking for a bottle as an Xmas present for an uncle. He’d generally a redbreast drinker but was wondering for about the 50-60ish range would I get better value at an auction site or a retail shop in getting him a bottle maybe of a similar profile to redbreast but different distillery. I’ve heard a lot about some of the killowen stuff but would be interested to hear recommendations

Anyone have any recommendations or experience with Dublin whiskey shops? Seems like there are a few worth checking out while I made Lin.

Hey, whiskey lovers! Big news from Northern Ireland: Wild Atlantic Distillery is set to release its first-ever whiskey, The IslandMen 1921, this December.

My father in law loves Irish Whiskey and I wanted to get him a bottle for Christmas. I know that he enjoyes Redbreast and he once mentioned that the 21 year is the best.

Now I'm not looking to spend almost $500 on a bottle for him for Christmas.

What's a good Irish Whiskey that I could get him instead? Looking for a 21 year but as long as it's good, that's alright.

I'm in the $200-ish or under budget range.

Any and all suggestions welcome, thank you!

Hello whiskey lovers , I’m an international student from India . My friends and I back home love whiskey especially Jameson .My friends have requested me to get a bottle or two back when I go home in this winter break. Can you guys suggest some good Irish Whiskeys in a similar palate and taste, price range that of Jameson ?

Thank you in advance.

(Quick question : why is whiskey expensive here we get Jameson back in India for €21)

For St Patrick’s day, Ohio’s liquor control brought in a lot of Irish whiskey that was new to Ohio. I’m not sure it sold as well as they wanted it to, but it is now on clearance.

I’m of Irish decent, but new to Irish whiskey, so would love some input on if I should grab any of these bottles:

Dublin Ink $24 Quiet Man 8 yr single malt $24 Powers Rye $18 Quiet man Blended $16.49

Any input appreciated, or if I should be looking at different bottles as someone with minimal experience here.

Thank you!

God that country is amazing. I need to make a lot more money to buy everything I want haha. But did get to Midleton and picked up a bottle of the Very Rare 2024. Had it in the tasting and it was incredible. Wish I could have gotten some Red breasts and spots I can’t find in PA. Also got over to Waterford whiskey as well and came home with a few of them. Really cool what they are doing over at Waterford and their teireoir thing. Great trip and cant wait to get back.

I am visiting Ireland for the first time in November. I am a long time lover of Irish whiskey. Anyone have any advice for visiting distilleries?

Plan right now is to spend time in Dublin, Cork, and Galway / East coast areas.

Just got back from first trip to Ireland. Already know a bit about Irish whiskey and have tried several Redbreast varieties, blue spot, Greenspot, powers John’s lane, powers three swallows, several Bushmills, and several dingle single malts. Had a WONDERFUL trip and will be back for sure. Here is what I brought back to the states:

Dingle Single Malt founding fathers 10 yr age in Olossoro cask (tried it at the Celtic whiskey bar in Killarney and it was so good I had to buy one of the few remaining bottles).

Skellig Single pot still (tried it at a bar in Dingle and was surprised by how much I like it bc I don’t normally enjoy anything with any amount of plated flavor).

Dingle Lunasa (I have tried it before and loved it, my second favorite wheel of the year behind grianstad an gheimhridh).

Just wondering if anyone knows of a peated Irish whiskey that uses Irish peat for the process? Connemara uses Scottish turf I believe!

I rather like Powers Rye as if seems to be a good mix between an American rye and Irish whiskey and it makes a mean old fashioned despite its low proof point.

My question is that I saw when this came out last year that it would be a limited run. I am able to generally find it in the wild but curious if they will be pulling it soon. Does anyone know about this?

Looking for opinions. I've never really tried bushmills. I have a fairly extensive irish whiskey collection but feel like im missing out by not having tried such an obvious irish brand.

I don't really mix my Whiskeys and prefer it without ice so can anyone recommend which Bushmills would be a good choice to drink neat.

Hey all! Need your advice. My sister is going through Cork and she can get me a bottle for my collection! I’m near Vancouver and our selection for Irish whiskey is limited and in Canada a person can only import 1 bottle of spirits per person. So this is big for me to have an opportunity. Which bottle should I get? I can’t get any of these here. Cost isn’t a big factor but don’t want a dud for the money.

1. Powers John Lane CS €73
2. Powers John Lane 12 yr €61
3. Red Breast 18 yr €211
4. Red Breast Cuatro Barriles €94

my collection so far is above.

Thanks all 🤗😋😋

Ones that spring to mind for me are Hearth, Deer's Head, Garrick and Dirty Onion

I haven't been to any of Willie Jack's pubs in years, so I wouldn't even remember!

I have searched to find what the difference is between the two barring the coloring on the bottles and can find nothing. I know the 1 is exclusive to duty free shops. Jameson website is no help.

Going to Ireland the first time next week, and just wondering if there is a limit on what can be brought back to the states? I can’t seem to find a concrete answer on if there is a limit or what the rules actually are. Hoping some of you guys would know the answers. Thanks.

At least in the US, it can get pricey chasing a higher ABV Spot or Redbreast for those who prefer more than 40 ABV. Thoughts on moving toward Powers Johns Lane in the same price range as the Spot or Redbreast but at 92 proof and also up there at 12 years maturation, or even the NAS Powers Three Swallow at 86.4 proof and about $45 USD? Or is there a quality gap between either of the Powers and the other two that dictates otherwise?

Does anyone know what kind of offerings are available lately in Dublin duty free? Looking to stay in the $100 - 500 USD range.

I gravitate towards Red Spot, Bushmills 10,21 and Jameson Caskmates when at home but looking to branch out or find a deal while a friend is there.

One of my favorites. Out of the Dingle lineup I’ve tried my rankings are:

1. Grianstad an Gheimhridh
2. Lunasa
3. Bealtaine
4. Dingle Single Malt

Based off that list, what Dingle variety should I get when I got to Ireland week?

Got this lovely sip from my work fam for my birthday. Cheers!

Can I get this in the US or easily in Ireland? Is 150 euros too much?

A few months back I saw a house branded Irish whiskey at Sam’s Club. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about it. It’s quite inexpensive. When I tried it I felt it was Long the lines of original Bushmills, certainly not my favorite.

I've always been a huge Redbreast fan, but they already feel like a luxury product in my mind. Do you think they really need to add an 18 and do you think this will add more to the brand? Also, $250 seems a bit expensive, right?

My grandpa died about a year ago and I just inherited his old liquor stock. Among the old curaçaos and cheap white agricole rums I found not one, not two, but three unopened bottles of Midleton Very Rare 2013 !!! The old man was full of surprise. I want to keep one of course but I was thinking about selling one or two... The problem is there are no wooden boxes or paperwork... do you think it still has value ?
