Can anybody recommend me a good Irish Whiskey? The only one I've had is Jameson. I'm used to Patron and Cazadores tequila: it's a quick burn. Irish Whiskey, on the other hand, is a slow burn. Not that it's a bad thing: I enjoy the slow burn. Does all good whiskey burn slow?

Tullimore Dew is a little bit smoother and at about the same price range.

I bought a bottle of Goon-related Dad's Hat recently. I like it, quite mellow and has a strong vanilla taste. That I found it in a State Store was surprising, I'm still under the impression the PLCB only stocks the basics.

I'm from the Lehigh Valley, so I've got the stores in the Phillipsburg area and the Nazareth mega state store. Haven't had the chance to directly compare, but that one state store seems to be competitive with the Jersey stores.

The Spots are a little pricey, but I'd probably say Green is the best of the three. Yellow I don't remember much of but too similar to green for the price, Red was a letdown, and I'm hoping the future Blue Spot is worth the wait.

Seconding Writer's Tears being good whiskey. I've yet to see any variants hit Pennsylvania state stores, however.

Anyone else tried Connemara? It’s a peated Irish Whiskey which is kind of weird. It has that brightness of 80 proof Irish whiskey but finishes like licking a piece of charcoal. It’s odd, I’m not sure I like it

I haven't had it for a while, but I like both Irish whiskey and peat. Dammit, I'm going to have to see if the state store has any.

I'll note an exception for IPA cask finished whisky, which are really something unusual but quite nice (glenfiddich experimental IPA, I'm looking at you, though Jamesons IPA is also pretty nice and a lot more budget friendly).

:same:

My wife and I first bonded over our mutual love of stout, and the Jameson cask mates IPA works. The stout edition stinks.

Left Pennsylvania for the first time in ???, and finally got my hands on Mellow Corn. Goons have not steered me wrong. I picked up some other stuff, but I opened The Shin Japanese whiskey and I'm not sure what to think just yet.

My father in law used to be able to get it off the shelf for MRSP, and he pointed to one glowing review that started the frenzy. I want to say it was the New York Times, but it could have been one of the bigger magazines.
