How's the Redbreast 15? I'm a fan of the 12.

 

Well... I like it a lot! Ha ha. As it's the first (real) bottle of Irish whiskey I've ever bought (not counting cheap Jameson bottles), I don't really have a basis for comparison. It's a nice mixture of salty and sweet... and not too peaty which is not my favorite. Sort of like a salty vanilla taste, but very smooth... no burn at all! Highly recommend, but I have no way to compare it to other proper Irish whiskeys...

The Glenfiddich pictured is VERY smoky/peaty... if anyone's really into that sort of thing! I can appreciate it as a good scotch, and enjoy having a small glass at the beginning of the evening, but it's a bit heavy/smoky/peaty for my tastes. One is good, 2 is too much.

Might as well post up a pic of my shelves currently. Lots I love there (That Oban Distiller's Edition is crazy good IMO), some not so much (pretty disappointed in the Auchentoshan).

This time of year always seems to bring out the wine and scotch/whiskey drinker in me... We visit with my wife's family in Toronto and her Uncle is always bringing out top shelf stuff, and what starts as a digestif usually runs into breakfast the next morning. Coupled with the fact that I am putting the finishing touches on my kitchen renovation which includes a proper bar and beverage center area, and I'm looking for some good bottle suggestions.

 

Just yesterday I picked up a bottle of Glenmorangie 12yr Quinta Ruban for myself, and the 15yr Nectar D'or as a gift for her uncle.
