- Getting started with Irish Whiskey often starts off with shots and ends up moving to bourbon or Scotch... but I want you to stay a while, drink some Irish, and enjoy this fantastic category of whiskey!

Fully agree with Teeling. I loved it for a while, but that rum finish is too sweet for me now lol. Definitely a good option if you like sweeter whiskey, or are already used to rum.
Redbreast 12 is my favorite Irish so far, but that Bushmills Prohibition recipe is very good. Tommy Shelby would approve!
Wait till you try RB15!
I was introduced to Tullamore Dew by an Irishman who ran a pub, so... (Admittedly: later on I was able to treat him to some Yellow Spot!)
Yellowspot. Mmmm
Hey Bill. Love me some Powers Gold Label. It's not a single pot still though, its a blended whiskey. Maybe you were thinking of the Three Swallow and the John's Lane, which are single pot stills. Have you tried Powers Irish Rye yet? It would be interesting to hear your thoughts if you have.
Teeling is amazing. I also love sherried Irish: Sexton, Black Bush or Slane, for an average Friday afternoon, just give you that "well done, you survived another week" comfort..
Bushmill Black Bush is my favorite Irish Whiskey. Great video Bill!!!
Also love that! Give Sexton or Slane a try if you can find them around the same price.
Bill, great job with all those options and detailed information. Tried the Tulamore DEW a few years ago for a St Pats flight and was very surprised how nice!
It's such a solid, inexpensive whiskey
I used to be a jack&coke drinker and then slowly got into islay peated whiskeys. I basically drank only lagavulin and laphroiag, but what really got me into smooth whiskey is the bushmills black bush. For beginners, you can really enjoy it with an ice-cube to make it even smoother, and it's cheap enough that it's not "ruining the whiskey" to put ice in it. It's basically the same price as regular Jameson and just tastes sooo much better. With Jameson it always feels like you're just drinking shots at a college party. It's not bad, but it doesn't really feel like drinking whiskey to me. The black bush is really giving you a whiskey experience.
Slane has always been one of my favorite budget Irish Whisky's.
I didn't add that one to this list because it's finished and I didn't think that fit what I was going for, but I agree
For the budget $35 - $40 price range, it's Powers Three Swallow for me. Slainte!
I love Tullamore Dew. Hate Jameson. But I'd like to try others on this list.
Just getting into Irish whiskey so this video is a great help. So far I have added Glendalough Double Barrel (a gift), Knappogue Castle 12 year ($50.95) and Red Breast 12 year ($69.95) to my whiskey collection. Your lower priced suggestions will be on my list the next visit to my local store, Warrenton OR.
CONNEMARA is a nice one 👌👍🍻🥃😎🤩 cheers
My personal favorites
Green spot
Red Breast
Knappogue castle
Teelings
Bushmill 12
Crested
I recommend Red Breast 12 usually. I vastly prefer single malt Scotch but if someone is asking for a beginner Irish Whiskey this is the one I often recommend. I sometimes recommend Jamieson Black Barrell. I dislike Paddy's and never buy it anymore (tried it twice - gave away the bottle) so I don't recommend it to friends starting out. I like the Powers and this is an easy 3rd recommendation. Cheers!!
I usually tell people to drink RB 12 as well. But the price isn't really "entry level" for everyone
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary True. Right on Bill. Agreed.
Very helpful insight! Cheers 🥃 🍀
Glad it was helpful!
Agree with teeling. And their single malt is second to none.
Surprised to see Knappogue Castle 12 year not getting a mention. It’s a single malt Irish whiskey, very smooth, good taste, and relatively inexpensive.
Definitely could be on this list. Good suggestion
I'm a fan and had some KC 12 yesterday - nice crisp, lightly sweet not overly complex whiskey but very enjoyable. It's under $40 where I buy it.
About $45 here in PA. Still a bargain, IMHO.
Agree Knappogue 12 is very well balanced.
FWIW, the Buena Vista at Fisherman's Wharf uses Tullamore Dew in it's Irish Coffee.
I always get a little bit of green apple from Jameson Black Barrel which makes me think of it as a cross between Jameson and Green Spot & yummy.
Most enjoyable review. Personally I have found that some Irish whiskeys have changed flavour profile over the years. Used to like Tullamore dew. But not now. Loved the gold Powers before the rebrand exercise. Had a particular taste which is now not there for me. Jameson always fine. Ditto bushmills - any expression . In that price bracket though not Irish I cant see past Auchentoshan American Oak.
New subscriber. I've enjoyed your Irish whiskey journey this month. Any thoughts on The Sexton?
Underrated whiskey! Hard to pour. I did a review on them a few years back. Thanks for the sub!
Kavanagh is my go to budget Irish
Awesome list Bill!!!
Been wanting to try something else cheaper. But i keep coming back to redbreast 12 😂
That is how I am with Green Spot
How could you not include Slane?! That's my #1 budget Irish whiskey.
I wanted to put it on here, even had it on my table, but it would have been the only finished whiskey on the list.
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary Ok, understood.
The Black Barrel is miles better than the other Jamesons. I have that at home, together with Redbreast 12. Both amazing!
I'm interested in trying Powers Gold Label. I noticed that the price is extremely low (around $24 for 750ml). To me this would imply that it's a "cheap whiskey" and usually a cheap spirit will be inferior in quality to a higher priced one (but not always). What's the deal with Powers? Is it just a good 'inexpensive' Irish whiskey?
Jameson Black Barrel was a bargain at $28 5 years ago, it was fairly priced at $37 3 years ago, and it's very overpriced at $49 now. These are prices local to me (northeastern Texas).
Oooh,i know a few whiskeys better than jameson :) Jameson black barrel is good tho
What would you say are your favorite Irish Whiskies?
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary Redbreast Lustau and Readbrest 12 CS are my favorite :)
Black Barrel is good. But I like the Crested better. Paddy and Powers are wino whiskeys. And Red Brest is massively overrated. For my 20-30 bucks. I’d go after a sweet cork or a black bush.
Always hated regular Jameson, the 18 is great, but severely overpriced. I do love the Teeling Small Batch and The Sexton. Hated Redbreast 12. Love the flavor profile on Slane, but its too ethanol-y for me. Seems like it would benefit from some more time aging.
I might be willing to try Tullamore Dew if they didn’t have a top 1 worst commercial song I’ve ever heard, an Irish drinking song about memes 😂 cheers Bill!
I require a link... do it now
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary czcams.com/video/i4X7XSL9fSU/video.htmlsi=EKO9OkPF7LNibKUt
The whole thing isn’t terrible but the first line always makes me cringe lol
First one here never been that big on Jamo good starter whiskey
First!
If you can get ur hands on a Powers 2 Swallows…like $40 and head and shoulders above most budget Irish.
I have one behind me actually, the three swallow. But it's old packaging so I didn't want to confuse people
Anything is better than Jameson .. Redbreast 12 is the finest affordable Irish whiskey you can buy and leagues ahead of it. If you want a starter whiskey then bog standard Tullamore is outstanding.
I love how Irish whiskey is cheaper outside of Ireland 😂
Mad isnt it
TEELING Whiskey 👍👍👍
"not this.. this is junk" 🤣
Tyrconnell Single Malt Irish Whiskey for $26. 43% ABV.
I don't love Tyrconnel as much as some other folks.
Í am serious .. the Peaky Blinders whiskey!
Couldn’t stand that Black Barrel, but the Sexton, Slane & Black Bush are tasty cheapos, IMO!
Sounds like you're a fan of sherry! Me too
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary not so much with scotch, but the Black Barrel tasted like bourbon to me and the only bourbon I really like is Frey Ranch Uncut. I didn’t know those 3 Irish were sherry finishes.
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary apparently Sherry works best with Irish whiskey for my palate.
@@revolvermaster4939 Absolutely agree with you! Didn't like Black Barrel at all, but I always have a bottle of either Sexton, Slane or Black Bush. Out of this list, I really liked Teeling as well, would recommend..
just a sggestion
please add subtitiles using AI tool
