I have a big Irish Catholic family in Chicago and the Christmas party is next week. For the party, I'd like to get a bottle of good Irish whiskey but I've never been a big whiskey drinker and I'm looking for some suggestions.

bushmill's is a good choose, I am a bartender and I sale a lot of it. If you don't drink whiskey you could choose a good Irish cream

Jameson. Way Jameson. Whiskey wasn't invented in America, though. Not by a long shot. First recorded was 1405 in Ireland but a lot of people think it may have existed well before then. You're thinking Bourbon Whiskey, which is very American (If it's not made in kentucky it's not Bourbon) The biggest difference is that Bourbon typically has more corn than the usual recipe

Yellowkay has the right answer. Black Bush is nice when drank neat. Good Irish Whiskey or if you have too, use some rocks. Cheers and enjoy.

There are three that I Like. Jamesons, Tullamore Dew, And Bushmills. In the chicago area they drink all three but I think the biggest hit will be Jamesons. They like to make irish coffe or hot toddies and it seems to work pretty good.

Jameson's is always a solid, mid-level pick. They also have a premium whiskey that's a little pricier. Try Michael Collins for cheap stuff.

Black bush is a good Irish Whiskey, when you drink two fingers of it neat.

Jameson's is what I normally drink. Tullamore Dew was not too bad if I remember correctly.
Just make sure nothing is added apart from maybe a little water or a little ice.

Bushmills is my favorite. Very smooth.

It belongs in Ireland. May it stay there.
