I love bourbon, scotch, rye, and Japanese whiskey, but I can’t seem to get into Irish much. I wasn’t a big fan of Jameson when I’ve had it a few times, but I did like Proper Twelve when a buddy got me a bottle (despite the consensus that its mediocre, I honestly preferred it to Jameson). Even still, it’s not something I would go out of my way to buy and would rather just drop the money in another bourbon or scotch. All the Irish I’ve had just doesn’t seem to have much flavour or debth compared to a cask bourbon or islay. I’ve been thinking about trying Redbreast 12 since it gets so much praise and hype, but I wanted to get some other recs to give a shot.

    Jameson and proper twelve are both bottom tier whiskeys.

    I would suggest trying Jameson Black Barrell it’s much better than normal Jameson.

    My personal favourite is yellow spot but green spot is also amazing.

    Lots of people love Red Breast, I personally prefer Green spot/yellow spot.

    You can’t say you don’t like Irish whiskey when you haven’t even tried any of the good offerings 🙂
