If you want a peat-smoke character whiskey (not common in Irish whisky), try "Craoi na Mona". If you want a fruity, nutty sweet sherry flavour, try "Bushmills 16 year old" or "Jamesons 12 year old". If you want an oaky flavour (traditional Irish whisky - not peaty), try Locke's 8 year old. Its a newish brand, but won a gold medal in 2001.... Enjoy!
