Super User DitchPanda Posted December 17, 2020 Super User Posted December 17, 2020 Looking for some suggestions beyond basic old Bush mills and Jameson...like to keep it at or under $50? I'm considering Connemara because I've heard good things...anybody tried it? Quote

I didn't find the Connemara so I ended up getting a bottle of 12yr Red breast. Its a little over my budget but all I've heard is how great it is. Quote

Expand We have a number of different liquor stores here - but I've only found it at one of the higher-end ones. MGM doesn't carry it, the city store doesn't carry it...only place I found it was Haskells which only has 11 locations in the Twin Cities metro area. Quote
Super User Teal Posted December 22, 2020 Super User Posted December 22, 2020 Take it from a recovering alcoholic... in your budget, Teeling is pretty darn smooth for the price. I found it when I was traveling around Delaware several years ago. Red breast is a step above but the last bottle I got was 68.00 I was a beer drinker/ bourbon drinker. But I fell in love with Irish pubs when I was traveling. Really loved the lightness of irish style whiskey. Ii have poured Teeling into my coffee thermos with some black coffee more times than i care to remember. Yall drink responsibly And dont let it get too good to you. I'm in permanent time out for all things alcohol. Quote

Super User .ghoti. Posted December 22, 2020 Super User Posted December 22, 2020 Always have a bottle of Bushmills on hand. Tullqmore ia good. Redbreast is very good. Midleton is top shelf, but, in my opinion, not worth the price of admission. Note: i don't think Pappy Van Winkle is worth the price either. Quote

Expand I've never had pappy and doubt I will cuz either way it doesn't end well. Either its the best you've had but its to rare and spendy to get again or it sucks for the price and you feel cheated out of the money. Quote
