And one fifth Russian.
Nah, no Russian. One fifth Mai Tai would be good though.

I agree with most of those brands mentioned here but one of my favorites has been Clontarf Single Malt. They also make a blend that is likely better for beginners but the single malt is much more refined and polished with less vanilla and more malty for want of a better term.
I also need to mention Wild Geese Irish Soldiers and Heros. There are severl incarnations but my experience is only with what I can get my hands on and that has been the classic blend. I can't find the single malt around here. :eusa_doh:
I find it depends on when & what I have eaten last but I really like the Original Peated Connemara best followed by the Teeling Single Malt, then the Teeling Single Grain. The Single Grain is not all that complex but just nice.after my trip to Ireland last September, my new favorite Irish whisky is Glendalough. It's not easy to find here in the States, but if you can find it, it's in a class by itself.
I just think most are going to be a bit underwhelming if you are a complex Scotch drinker. I too am greatly disappointed in the Mitchell bottling of Green Spot I bought. It's on my "Do Not Buy" list now.I found my Mitchell’s Yellow Spot fine but slightly disappointing...
Today it’s already too late so I’ll possibly go for it next week.
I stay away from liquor stores on weekends but I'll look to see if I can find any next wk. I finished up the last of my Connemara last night so need to restock that for sure.I don't know how any whisky can be better than the double barrel, but since the 13 is more than twice the price, I'm intrigued.

When you said you pay $100 shipping that must be from overseas? Surely not New Jersey? I buy from CA & mix & match a 4-5 bottle case & shipping usually amortized out to $5-$7 per bottle via FedEx. I recently shipped a bottle to AR via FedEx & it was $16 shipping.A friend of mine in New Jersey says the stores there carry it, but I can't get it in CA.
Yes, that's directly from Ireland. Unfortunately with CA laws as. they are, I can order liquor from outside the country but not inside the country.

I will look forward to that!Yes, that’s really a hammer. Mr. Bezos wants to see under 28,- bucks for a Double Barrel here.

@Blackthorn I will write a few words about my impressions once I tried it.
