    Oh by the way, the Suntory Hibiki 17 is the very whiskey in Lost in Translation, in case you ever wanted to taste what Bill Murray's character was promoting. It's really, really good.

    Little bit of film history for you, but the reason they went with Suntory in the movie was that Sofia Coppola's father, Francis Ford Coppola did ads for Suntory with Akira Kurosawa back in the 80's

    I also agree with a couple of previous posters, Paddys Whiskey tastes like something You would clean a hospital with.

    Teeling's simply one of the nicest Irish I've had the pleasure of sipping

    Most Powers, yes.

    John's Lane is a fantastic whiskey. Jim Murray spoke very highly of it in the whiskey bible a year or two ago.

    Best Whiskey I've had recently is Green Spot Bordeaux wine cask finish.

    Notable mentions to Yellow spot, regular Green Spot, Tullamore Dew Phoenix and Knappogue Castle.

    im quite partial to redbreast 12 year old myself, so damn smooth

    I went off the booze about 12 years ago, but I sampled some Redbreast on a night out recently & found it an incredibly smooth & tasty tipple.

    Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt 17 year old has been voted the world's best blended whiskey, never tried it, but going by Nikka's other whiskies I'm sure it is. Nikka's Coffee Grain and Nikka From The Barrel are amazing, and not too expensive, I'd highly recommend them. My personal favourite ever is the Suntory Hibiki 17 year old, it's a blend that's been part matured in Japanese plum liquer casks which gives it a wonderful sweetness. For some very, very relaxing times indeed. ;)

    Hibiki is super, the 12 is my favourite whiskey. Never tried the 17 (never found it available).

    If I was only limited to one Whiskey choice then it would have to be Redbreast 21 yr old. Heaven in a bottle!

    Is Bourbon the same as Whiskey? if so Jim Beam!

    Depends on the season, Highland Park 18 is always on my shelf, I also like Macallan's 12 year sherry oak. Coming into the winter I'll be stocking up on my peatys. Lagavulin 16 and Laphroig 18 are already there.

    Ever go to Yamamori's Tengu bar, it's at the back of the restaurant on the Quay, lovely place, they have a great selection of Japanese whiskeys.

    I've never tried Scotch or any American whiskeys. Usually drink Powers whiskey I find it the nicest for hot ones.

    I've tasted Taketsuru 17 plenty of times and it is fantastic. Really great.

    For Scotch, I thought Cardhu was a really good whisky. Laphroaig has a bit too much peat for me. Not a huge fan of Glenlfiddich myself.

    For Irish, I've had Green Spot but wasn't a big fan - something chemical about the taste for me. Redbreast was nice, and Tyrconnell isn't bad for the price.

    Bourbon is a style of whiskey that is made from a minimum of 51% corn, rather than malted barley being the main grain. There are other strict legal requirements before a whiskey can be officially called bourbon, but that's the main one. Woodford Reserve and Makers Mark are both excellent bourbons that are fairly readily available and well worth a try.

    I'm generally not a Scotch drinker, but I do make an exception for Highland Park 18, it's pretty special. Favourite Irish whiskeys would probably be Greenore and Redbreast.

    What would people recommend if you had a spare €50-€60 to spend on a bottle

    Never tried that myself tbh. Would you generally add a drop of water or have it neat?
