Irish Whiskey Aficionado's (1 Viewer)

Looking to buy an Irish Whiskey for a gift on my trip to Vegas in a few weeks. The group I am hanging with loves their whiskey. The best I have had so far has been the Jameson 18 year.

I am hoping to find someone that has tried Jameson 18 year along with a variety of other Irish Whiskeys so they can at least compare them.

Some friends have mentioned these few:

Redbreast 15 year: noted as "one of the smoothest Irish Whiskeys" out there

Yellow Spot

Bushmills 21 year: Best a friend has had.

Price range for these seem to be in the $80-$120 range, don't mind spending some more if needed, but not really looking to go a ton higher.

Thanks

I've heard good things about

Powers John's Lane Release Irish Whiskey.I've just had the "regular" John Powers Gold Label so I can't claim to be an expert.

jameson cask is under your budget, but it just came out and perhaps your friends would like a taster.

I like Midleton's if you're going to drop over a hundred. It might be around 140 or so but it's insanely good.

Aficionados. Without the apostrophe.

Yellow Spot is the best I've had. Haven't tried Redbreast, but I've heard the same.

Not an aficionado, but I was just in Dublin a few weeks ago. I drank a lot of yellow spot, it was excellent.

Why does it has to be Irish? Are you racist?

It is just one of my fav's and since I am partaking also, may as well enjoy it.

Don't sleep on green spot. I probably prefer it when doing a side by side with yellow.

Don't be so hard on yourself. At least you learned something.

I've had Midleton, Jameson 18, bushmills, and redbreast. Redbreast is probably my favorite whiskey period. I'd go with that.

All I know is Jameson is Catholic; Bushmills is Protestant. Know your gift recipients.
