To me the Jameson, Bushmills, ect. and the other bigger brands are good in drinks, but not sipping Scotch or Irish whiskeys. Thems there fightin' wordz......... There are so many people near me right now , who depend upon the crediblity of The Midleton Distillery ( where it is all made) and the proudness is equal to a luthier who made something worthy of note ...( the MAster Brewer ) .. I saw a Programme once , a long time ago , about Irish and Scottish Whiskey .... The Programme was done very well, filmed and cut, to make a good point ...who won ...thats always up to the viewer .... but the main points went like this ...... Scottish .....We have the best Whisky as it is the most well known Irish ........If you know what is good and bad ... we have the best Whiskey Scottish.....We have more Whiskys than the Irish ...250 types or more thew Irish only have about 5 or 6 ...so we know ... Irish ........We only have 5 or 6 whiskeys cos we got rid of all the crappy ones about a hundred years ago , so we just stay with the best, make it better ...........the Scots really dont know what they are doing so they are still messing around with 300 or so awful whiskeys trying to prove something ....... Scottish....We make Whisky with the finest highland water Irish ........The oldest whiskey Distillery in the world , officially . is in Ireland,,, because we been making it longer ...not copying .... And so it went on and on ...I kinda think although both put up good arguments The Irish won on just indisputable facts .... I do know that , having visited the distillery , on a tour , that anyone can do here , you find out that one big difference is that the Irish Whiskey is Dry roasted ,,,,meaning that for the first roast barley is dry roast ,,,,,.. meaning the fire is in a chamber at the bottom ... and the barley is in a chamber above ,,,,the heat does the work ....... Scots is different as the the fire , water (steam) are in the same room , so its not dry roasted but kinda steam roasted ......this is really the big difference between them ,,,,,,,,, the triple distilled bit is a kind of controlled fallout ......... its distilled , and thereore sepatated by this process ...however about a third actually goes back in , flavour control here, and it is re distilled ....a small percentage of that is re introduced and it is distilled again , that was basically how they explained it to me aaaand they gave me loads of free Whiskey to prove their point..so thats proof in itself ....?no? Funny thing is after all that , I'm not a big Whiskey man ,,.. but My preferred spirit would be RUm ... Black , black Rum ...the blacker the better ....carribean , capitan cutthroat morgan illegal molasses black as coal rum ....... yes please ..... Sorry , I may delete this soon due to typing late at night and whiskey , somehow dont go well /////////////////

yeah ... you got it about right now ......... Ron woulnt have let my post past without a comment ... But he would have liked the programme I heard , maybe ,,, However , being here now , , , when in Rome kinda thing kicks in , especially as I am a foreigner ,,..... So,, you keep wandering around your 250 experments in .....is this good or do I like it ...sort of stuff .... and we stay with our 5 ....thank god we got rid of the crap years ago ....each one of these is better than (mathimatically) 60 scotch whiskeys ,,,,,,, all the work was done for you by our ancestors , no need to thank us ....enjoy ..... (Ron ..is gonna have a real good go at me when I get there ...maybe I bring a bottle to placate him ... hmm
