Never previously keen on Irish stuff if I'm honest, however it seems to be improving.
Connemara was nice, and there's one called Redbreast - that's gorgeous.

I'm usually a happy drunk, hooray beer. I've noticed whisky makes me edgier. Not quite "likes to fight guy", but I get a tad more easily riled up. But I don't drink enough whisky to make this a concern. Two fingers on a Sunday night won't find me locked up in a policia truck.
I actually had/have a really nice one. Not because I'm an aristocrat or anything, but my wife's best friend from college sure knows how to pick out an ace wedding present. Didn't use the decanter but a couple times, but LOVED the glasses (or whatever the proper term was)... I had been using Dalmore or Buchanans glasses that come with the holiday gift packs. She asked, in all seriousness, if I liked the gift. I told her I finally had drinking vessels worthy of the Scotch I was drinking.
I've a couple of mates who no longer drink whiskey as it makes them more aggressive. Glad to say it doesn't have that effect on me.
Aye, just tends to put a big daft grin on my face. I'm a pretty chill drunk though.
There is an Irish whiskey called Feckin Whiskey. Comes from a small distillery quite local to me. I've never tried it as I always thought it was a bit gimmicky. I've recently heard it is better than the name would suggest. I'll give it a go and post a review.

I see you've been to my little heavenly place (a single malt speacialist). It's a good day out getting there too; http://www.weedram.co.uk
Did you go in and buy one?

Strathisla is £25 in Sainsburys down here (normally £35). Bargain at that price.
I see Jim Murray rated the Yamazuki sherry cask 2013 as the best single malt in the world. No scotch whiskeys in his top 5 either!

Johnnie walker Blue is my absolute favorite when i have the rare opportunity to get my hands on it. Generally i stick with the much more middle class friendly Johnnie Walker Black.
never had a chance to try the green label which blended 4 I've seen mentioned quite a bit earlier in the thread. Caol Ila, Talisker, Cragganmore, and Linkwood. I guess it's either discontinued or just not sold in my area.
Still very new to scotch/whiskey after deciding to give up beer in an effort to slim up. So anything recommendations on something similar to JW would be awesome.

Real honey and oak on the nose.
Really woody as you'd expect, some berries and liquorice. Well sherried, some candied fruit notes in there. Spicy, fruity finish that lasts a good while.
Different enough and more complex than the standard Balvenie bottlings I've tried (Double Wood and Port Wood 21).
