Have a bottle of Glenlivet 15 year old to bring to my mates for Christmas, the new Jameson special reserve small batch is my favorite at the minute,its smooth as silk, bought a liter bottle of Jameson Signature reserve when i was in Munich airport, will finally try it over the festive period, not an easy one to get as its only available in certain Duty Free shops,

Tullamore Dew is my favourite not enough places over here have it. Usually drink Jamesons no mixer theres a club in Sunderland where I sometimes get in and they charge £2.72 for a double.

Tullamore Dew has to be one of the cheapest, worst Irish whiskies on the market ,although its strangely popular in Germany and Austria and they are very generous when it comes to giving promotional gear, i have been to the distillery in Tullamore, a nice set up, worth the visit.

Heading out to a wedding in Mexico tomorrow and the groom has asked me to bring out a good bottle of Whiskey. Thing is *wearing my selfish hat now*, I'm much more a fan of scotch so I'm thinking of picking up a bottle of Irish Whiskey that's double distilled rather than the usual triple, so it'll be more scotch like. Any thoughts? Kilbeggan is the one that keeps popping up so far, but suggestions welcome. I plan on drinking the f*cker with him, so it may as well be one I'm in to

Found out they still had shelves full of the 12 year Old Jameson in Schiphol Airport. Picked up 4 bottles when I went over for the game last week. Will do the same again soon. Stock up on those bad boys, as they're already near impossible to get. Tasty stuff, and worth the investment

Bottles from then aren't what you want, really. You'd rather something recently bottled that was casked back then and only recently bottled. If you want to really, really splash out, there is a whiskey that was discovered by Jameson's master distiller Barry Crockett back in 1994. It was a cask that had been filled in 1964 but somehow misplaced and forgotten about. It was one cask and there aren't that many bottles of it left. It's called Dungourney 1964 but a bottle of it will set you back the best part of a grand at this stage. They were €600 about five years ago, so if they are still for sale, it'll be more than that.
I worked in the Croke Park hotel and we had two bottles of it. When Ireland were playing Russia a couple of years ago, there were some Russians staying, and they drank us out of it.... except the f**kers were drinking it with coke. Absolute cretins.

- It'll probably never be opened, maybe the day I get married! who knows ha!
I was looking online earlier, theres a 1950's 10 year old so bottled in the 40's for 650GPB I was hoping i'd be able to pick one up in a store somewhere! I was hoping there'd be a store in Dublin that would have it being Irish Whiskey, I'm afraid it won't be here on time if i order it. Im also not comfortable with sending a glass bottle of whiskey worth that much through the post. I've visions of a wet box and pieces of antique glass arriving

I know whiskey is a bit of an Irish institution but jaysus I can't stand it. I'm feeling a wee bit sick even just even thinking about the stuff.
I drank Tir Connall whiskey once and it wasn't that revolting. But in general Id rather stay sober than sip whiskey.

Going for €100, be going for a lot more on the auction sites in the not too distant future.
Blue spot was €80 when it came out, €220 on auction sites now. Could get over a grand for 2020 midleton very rare now, was €180 when it came out. I'd imagine this will follow the trend, but not to the same extent.

As a friend once said to me, the good thing about whiskey is, it it doesn't go up in value, you can just drink it!
I buy some bottles for collecting in the home they go up in value and then some for drinking, bought two redbreast earlier, one for me and one for keeping in the wardrobe hoping it goes up in value!

You just talking about buying the whiskey in the off license or from the distillery website? Wouldn't mind getting a bottle of Midleton and drinking it.

Got those from their website, bought a few from the offo during lockdown, Method and Madness single pot probably the pick, the blue spot was very good too.
Will have one of the redbreast 10 bottles for myself too.

Got 2 bottles of the Midleton Very Rare in 2017 when I had twins. Drank one and keeping one for their 18th/21st or something. They'll probably hate it and want a Fat Frog or Jagerbomb or something

Delighted to have picked up a bottle of the Redbreast 10. Redbreast in general is one of the nicest whiskeys.

Just ice with anything decent. Might have a drop of ginger ale if it’s cheaper stuff

Picked up a bottle of Connemara peated single malt the other day after it was recommended to me. Cracking stuff but wouldn’t dream of using anything other than a solitary ice cub with it
