In fact, I would put bourbon and rye on one end of the drinking spectrum, scotch in the middle and irish/canadian on the other end. It's never about one being better than the other, just different. I found the Concannon to be different and I'm sure there will be a segment of whiskey drinkers that like the lighter/sweeter expression Concannon provides. As for Irish, you mentioned Redbreast and as I'm sure you know, they have three expressions, 12 year, 12 year cask and 15 year. The cask version is quite stunning. Additionally, if you have the opportunity, try Yellow Spot and Slieve Foy. Both of these are also quite good.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084821666852687199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459913366176838409.post-33043214194504872922013-03-10T20:46:48.546-04:002013-03-10T20:46:48.546-04:00Nice work on the full disclosure and a balanced re...Nice work on the full disclosure and a balanced review. I keep wanting to like Irish Whisky (for genetic reasons) but have yet to meet the right one. The Readbreast was close... In any case, thanks for saving me from this one. (I'm beginning to think that only scotch really benefits from wine finishes, as I've not met the American whiskey that is improved by port either)<br /><br />Look forward to hearing about your trip,<br />Ryan<br /><br />(http://whiskeyobsessive.blogspot.com/)<br /><br />Ryan Connollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04926999824540595625noreply@blogger.com
