Looking for advice re Whiskey.
Not being a drinker of it myself I wouldn't know what to buy but I want to get a bottle for a client who has given me plenty of work this year.
I know he drinks Jameson but I want to get him one that isn't just the normal run of the mill bottle of whiskey(if there is such a thing)
I have seen bottles with vintage on them and bottles with reserve on them so can anyone recommend a decent one or are they all pretty much good for someone who drinks whiskey?
When you think you're fucked you're only about 40% fucked.

Jameson Select Reserve Black Barrel Signature Reserve
Power's John Lane
Writer's Tears
Red Breast 12
Red Breast 12 Cask Strength

First four all around the €60 mark standard but can be got cheaper elsewhere. Last one the best on the list about €90.

There is one in Dick Mack's in Dingle at €150 a shot. The bottle's half empty....the yanks love it. I cant for the life of me imagine any whiskey tasting 30 or 40 times better than an ordinary shot of Jameson.

They can't love it all that much if there's still half a bottle left!
