When I purchase Irish Whiskey, I always reach for Bushmills. According to the Bushmills website, they have this to say about Bushmills Original:

“The cornerstone of our family, BUSHMILLS® ORIGINAL is a smooth and versatile triple distilled blend. An approachable whiskey which has been matured in both bourbon and sherry casks resulting in fresh fruit and vanilla notes”.

Here are the other 4 drinks I discovered in Ireland: Guinness (I buy Guinness in a four-pack of cans), Baileys Irish Cream (recipes here), Black & Black, and Baby Guinness. One other favorite is the Irish Car Bomb drink. I didn’t discover this in Ireland, but at a bar in South Carolina called the Blu Martini.
