Which whisky does it for you, I personally think Scotch is smoother.

Well, of course it would depend on the quality of the Whisk(e)ys we are talking about, but as a rule of thumb I'd settle with Scotch. Scotch can by far more complex and permits a wider variety array of flavours and aromas. The fact that grain/malt is dried with peat (as opossed to hot air in Irish) accents Scotch favourably. As when it comes to blends vs malts, it's entirely up to personal likes. I love Oban and Dalwhinnie, but have to recognise the consistency in Johnnie Walker Black. The best bang for your buck is probably Johnnie Walker Green. In Irish, Bushmills line is far superior to Jameson's.

Scotch whiskey is generally ('though not aways) less Petey than Irish whisky which obviously has a big impact on the flavour. Insistently, the is an e in scotch whiskey but not Irish

I like the smokiness of scotch, and I'm really into single malts. I also like Irish, especially in coffee, but scotch is good there too. One place I learned long ago not to put scotch is in root beer!
I like Baileys, but there used to be a similar liqueur called Heather Cream, which contained scotch whisky in place of Irish whiskey. I haven't been able to find it recently, and one local liquor store that carried it regularly years ago tried to look it up for me and couldn't find anything. I guess it went the way of Ripple and Bali Ha'i!

It's strange that you think the way you do because Irish is distilled more than Scotch is and therefore generally smoother. I prefer a smooth whiskey as well and as far as Scotch goes I like Dalwhinnie. If you're looking for a great smooth Irish try my personal favorite, Redbreast.

Scotch. I have tried all of the Irish and Scotch brands available here in Houston in taste tests. I agree with the man about Balvini. It is very good for the money. Here is some advice for you:
McCallen 18. It is the best that I have ever had but has tripled in price. Do not worry about the 12 or 30 year old. They are not as good.
Pinch. Like some others it is blended. However, blended scotches can be very good and I like this one. Scotch snobs will point you to single malts. It is silly to limit yourself to those, many of which are overpriced.
Balvini. All of the ones I have had are good.

I prefer just about any Irish or Scotch that is at least 12 years old.

Definitely Irish for me...though I like the bourbons too. Really not keen on the Scotch (though admittedly, I've only had had the Teachers and Bells type - bleurgh - and not the more expensive 'better' ones...

I prefer Scotch (being Scottish might have something to do with it), not because it is smoother, as a rule Irish is smoother as it is triple distilled, Auchentoshan being the only Scottish one that is.
It is because of this I prefer Scotch. My favourite (presently) is J & B.

Generally I go for Scotch, nothing against Irish though, I suppose its because there's more Scotch more widely available.
Never tried Japanese yet.

Bushmills Irish Whiskey every time. Far superior to scotch.
But Glen Morangy is the best Malt Whisky.
