If you like Glenfiddich, you might try Glenlivet too. 

For a richer flavor, Monkey Shoulder is one of my faves.

If you want to try something a bit more on the peaty (smoky) side, try Ardbeg.

Far from a Connoisseur but I prefer Black Bush to Jameson.

Black Bush is a really good value basic Irish blend. You can pay far more for older, more complex whiskeys that don't taste half as good. I'm happy to drink away at it and, because of the price, if I've nothing cheaper, will happily throw it in Irish coffee or got whiskey as well.

Always preferred Powers for a hot whiskey compared to the others.

No doubt about that - Powers is best for hot whiskey.

Oul boys in our country used to make hot poitín -not bad either.

I got the Connemara Whiskey for Father's day there.  It is a bit of an introduction to peated whiskey for me.  I have had one glass and on first impressions i dont think that style is for me.  I'll keep going with the bottle though just to confirm ;)

Never beat the deeler

Apologies if it's been covered before, but I live overseas and wanted to get a bottle of whiskey delivered to my aul fella for his birthday.
What's the best local website that sells online and delivers? Any google searches for whiskey ireland inevitably bring up websites here, or Yank-traps.

Looking for something aroudn the 100E mark, not tied to Irish / Scotch but will pick something he doesn't usually get

TIA
Hasta la victoria siempre

The whiskey exchange is hard to beat. Used it for a few present deliveries myself.

I use mitchellandsons.  Decent selection, fast delivery (dispatched within a day or two)

Also drinkstore.ie. Bigger selection, slower delivery (might take a week to dispatch)

Bushmills single malt 10 year old. An easy one to get through

My da was a Powers man and Jameson in latter life. He was a barman at a vintners do when young and said they drank Powers all night so reckoned they knew their onions
