Connemara 12 Peated Irish Whiskey

Connemara 12 Peated Irish Whiskey

The Connemara 12 is just about one of the only peated Irish whiskeys available on the market. If you want to know why there aren’t more, you could blow $55 and take a sip of this stuff.

Green Spot Irish Whiskey

Green Spot Irish Whiskey

Not the most expensive Irish, nor the fanciest, but it’s permanently on my mind when it comes to gifting for several good reasons.
Overall Rating: ★★★

Bushmills Red Bush

Ugh. Sometimes you think you have enough information to figure a product out, and then the rug gets pulled out from under you.

Bushmills Black Bush Irish Whiskey

Bushmills Black Bush Irish Whiskey

They could have called it anything else, literally anything, and been better for it. The whiskey itself is surprisingly not bad, and a huge step up from Bushmills' white label. 
Overall Rating: ★★☆

Jameson Gold Reserve

Jameson Gold Reserve

Sometimes it's important not to let a distillery's mass-market offering color your opinion of their entire range. I really don't like the standard Jameson much, but I quite enjoyed this.

Wild Geese Rare Irish Whiskey

Wild Geese Rare Irish Whiskey

I hope I'm not going to bore you with a history lesson, but I think it makes for a good story. Or at least a better story than the one Cooley's trying to sell you with this bottle. Overall Rating: ★☆☆
