The Irish Whiskey thread

I noticed that we were lacking an Irish thread here, so I figured I should start one. For some reason I have never liked Scotch. I really hate blended Scotch and probably psychologically I'm not interested in single malt Scotch. Also I'm mainly a Bourbon drinker.

But I live in Europe now and go to Ireland often so Irish Whiskey is much easier to obtain than good Bourbon. And I have discovered the greatness of single malt Irish whiskey! At duty free in DUB I bought a bottle of 16 year old Bushmills single malt and found it to be extraordinarily delicious. I'm now saving up for a bottle of the 21 year old which seems to be both rare and expensive.

For regular Irish whiskey I do love Tullamore Dew. Jamieson I can take or leave though. It doesn't really do anything for me.

Any other lovers of the Irish here?
