If you want to try a really good Irish whiskey than I would suggest John Powers Gold Label. It is probably the smoothest whiskey I have ever had. It's not #1 in Ireland for nothing.
I still prefer a good Bourbon but this is a good change of pace for me.

Whole hearty agree
My Grandda only drank Powers
And between it and Paddys I would have a hard time a choosin

Recently tried the Crown Royal, very good!
I noticed the last trip to the local ABC they are stocking the Wild Turkey Rye which JP turned me on to last year, excellent IMO (I am partial to Rye when I can find it). I typically pick up the Jim Beam Rye (which one of the three local ABC's regularly stocks) when I'm in the mood for it, but in the fall they stock the WT Rye here in VA. I've asked about Van Winkle Rye (highly recommended by JP) which they tell me they can order.

Bushmills over Jameson, but for pure ease of drinking It is always a canadian blend like Canadian club or classic 12 or Seagrams 7 or VO or Black Velvet
