Technically, not a whiskey - they called it "spirits", some say it's a "liqueur", but most call it whiskey... Anyway...though I'm not much of a drinker, I really liked it, but apparently it's been discontinued. It's smooth, with what's called "notes of caramel & oak"...some might say "butterscotch"...it has a nice warm, sweetish aftertaste.
Is there anything else out there like it ? I've tried a few different Irish whiskies, but none that smooth. I'm not about to spend a bunch more money experimenting or buying a bunch of whiskey I'll never finish. So, I thought I'd see what the Moparts braintrust might suggest.

Irish whiskey is an acquired taste... I'm an Irish American (my grandmother came from Cork) and I've visited Ireland many times. I drink Guinness regularly. I occasionally drink Jameson, but I prefer Teeling, especially in the Whisky Sour catagory... I do have a bottle of Poutin in my cabinet as well (Mad March Hare)
Try some Teeling with some mixes and some drinks (Whisky Sour with Teeling) can be made very well.
Good luck! Slainte! (Gaelic for "good health", and a common Irish saying when having drinks).

Thanks - I just sip it neat & room temp. County Cork, huh ? - I have a half-Irish friend whose forebears hailed from there. Also had an Irish girlfriend a long time ago - so for a while there, I guess I was adopted-Irish-by-reverse-injection
