I'm not a whisky guy... But I LOVE Irish coffee. Suggestions for a reasonably priced quality Irish whisky? Thanks in advance guys!

    Jameson black barrel. For a cheaper Irish whiskey Paddy's is delightful

    Life is too short to smoke bad cigars!!!

    If you are putting it in coffee, buy whatever is on sale. Personally I like 2 Gingers, Bushmills, Tulamore Dew, etc

    Very nice Chaos! You also might consider Redbreast Irish whiskey. They are scotch whiskey if memory serves right, so a bit different by what you bought but I've heard very good things. They've got their entry level cheap stuff but they also have gotten some very high accolades about their higher end single malt old stuff.

    I keep seeing that at my store Brian, love the bottle but have been wary since I hate to buy something that looks cool just to find out its a gimmick.

    Lol I've also seen a few of different vintages of a brand called "The Irishman"..... Tempted just because that's what I'm known as here lol.

    Bushmills is the better of the two me thinks.

    Bushmills, Tulla, and a new one I've been hooked on is Donegal.

    For sipping, my recommendations: Tullamore Dew 10 Year - 4 Cask, Teeling Rum Cask Finished, The Irishman (any reserve), Knappogue Castle.

    They're soft (smooth) and complex enough to warrant sipping and just pricey enough (all under $50) to justify sipping and not mixing.
