All Irish whiskies I have had are on the lighter side flavor wise, so I would not worry on too much peat. The Irish whiskey goes down faster than the Scottish stuff IMO. Any Irish pubs in your town to try a few out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as it is his wife heading over, not sure a pub would be of much help. @BellevilleMXZ are you asking specifically about Irish Whisky, or scotch is good? Also, what airport will she be flying back home from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickeyBlu Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Bushmills 16yr Single Malt is really lovely! I grabbed a bottle after trying it at a trade show last year. Found it very smoothe and easy drinking. The brand is excellent and you can't go wrong with it. Sent from my Redmi Note 4 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rrm7284 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 The Red Breast 12 yr is a nice pour and should be in your range, the 15 yr runs about 100€ but is a nice step up if you want to splurge Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know if $55 usd is a good price for Tali 10. We are fortunate that it has flown under the radar here and our shop carries it at $79can. Should be closer to $100can.
