I had occasion to try a few versions of Teeling whisky (don’t remember which ones but some of the special bottlings) and really like them.

I was at the bar at the new Kimpton Paris and spotted a bottle of Yellow Spot. I think it was 25 Euros per serving and a I had a 10 euro coupon for the bar so I went for it. The bartender poured a healthy neat glass and it was very, very nice.

Redbreast 21 and 27… worth the price of admission? Does 27 stand up for its 2x price tag against the 21?

I cannot drink Jameson anymore -- we do not get along 
However my beverage of choice these days is Jameson Black Barrel. Really smooth and reasonably priced for what it is. I started drinking it neat but now I have it in a rocks glass with just a few ice cubes.
Tully Dew is a good backup IME.

The 100 proof version is hard enough to come by and just isn't quite the same, not quite as rich and unctuous.

Lost Irish is a newcomer but it's the best Irish whiskey I've ever tasted. It's conditioned in barrels from 6 continents (South African brandy casks, Japanese mizunara oak, Sherry casks, Bourbon casks, Caribbean rum casks, Australian tawny casks, and Colombian rum casks) and uses 3 different styles of Irish whiskey (grain, malt, and pot still). It sounds like an absolute mess of a spirit and all the flavors should clash but instead of it being muddy it has a depth of complexity and you can pick out every cask utilized. Perhaps sacrilege but I prefer it to Green or Red Spot.
