Hi McKay,
I have tried 4 Irish malts since 2003 and they were the following.
I think everybody starts with the best known, Bushmills, a lovely malt that sets the pattern of Irish whiskies. I love the nose and the taste, but it's not my number one.
Midleton 25yo. Wow now here's a great Irishmen. It has about everything you need to sit next to a logfire on a cold evening. The aroma is lovely and the taste tantalising. It lingers on and on, a truly great malt.
Cooley SMWS 10yo; like Ardbeg with an Irish accent. A great peaty malt which bites your tongue and then dominates your whole mouth.
Nearly forgot this one . . . . Redbreast 12yo more like a Highlander than a Irish malt, but still very pleasant to drink.
Try one of those McKay and you'll be surprised.

Well with St Patricks Day coming up i thought i would post something in the Irish Whiskey forum.
Like most people the Irish whiskey i have had most is the Bushmills 10 year old but if you havent tried the Bushmills 16 year old i would highly recommend it, it is a very nice Irish dram. I also like the Redbreast 12 mentioned by islayonspey another good irish dram.

Hugh i have been told by a couple of people that the Bushmills Rare 21 year old is even better again but unfortunately i havent had the pleasure of it yet.

For £13.21 you simply can't beat this! A lovely full and fruity taste, enhanced enormously by a few drops of water. I understand that it is pretty much the same as Tyrconnel from the Cooley Distillery.

That would be the SAINSBURY's OWN BRAND Irish Single Malt Whiskey. I've yet to try any other supermarket own brand Irish Whiskeys - I know there's a Waitrose one for example - so I don't know how good these are.

Typical me i never read the small print. I had heard that Cooley was supplying Sainsburys with their Irish Single Malt Whiskey but hadnt heard what was in the bottle. I suppose it had to be either Tyrconnel, Connemara and i am not sure if they produce Lockes at Cooley.
