A great analogy for the complexity of flavors. Maybe I just haven't had a large enough variety of the Irish, but they've always seemed shallow in their depth of flavors, even while being very very good. Bourbons and Rye can be very complex by comparison, even if you're using a similar mash. Regional grains and styling in the USA can create that complexity. I will say that two of the things we Americans and the Irish can get along on are our preferences for 1: drinking and 2: fighting. :D

That's one criteria. The full list is: "For a whiskey to call itself bourbon, its mash, the mixture of grains from which the product is distilled, must contain at least 51% corn. (The rest of the mash is usually filled out with malted barley and either rye or wheat.) The mash must be distilled at 160 proof or less, put into the barrel at 125 proof or less, and it must not contain any additives. The distillate must be aged in a new charred oak barrel."

The owner of the company I work for gets Jim beam barrels and three semi trucks of wine grapes then sell it all to his rich buddies to make wine and ferment the grapes in the whiskey barrels, we'd work under the table on weekends what we'd call wine days lol but there was always some bourbon left in the barrels not much but he'd buy like 30 barrels so there'd be enough collectively for each of us to get a half bottle.

I never tasted Irish Whiskey until 10 years ago when a guy from Ireland opened a Pub here in North Carolina. I started trying them even though I’m not a big drinker. I noticed a huge amount of variety among the Irish whiskeys I tried. I liked all of them pretty well and there was something about each that seemed different than the American bourbon and whiskey I’ve tried. I can’t drink now because of health reasons. I wish I’d had a chance to try a few different kinds of Scotch whiskey too before I had to give it up.

Here in America, I always tell people who are trying to get into whiskey to start off with Irish Whiskey. It’s smoother and not as harsh as Bourbon and Scotch. I actually prefer Irish Whiskey over Bourbon because it doesn’t burn as much. However, an old family favorite is Chivas Regal Scotch Whisky. But as much as I do take to Scotch, Irish whiskeys are always going to be near and dear to my heart.

@@Evinthal84 yup, especially true when they are cask strength. Have a bottle of Octomore where that is especially prevalent. As it is it isn't all that smokey, but with 2-3 drops of water you suddenly get all that nice smoke and lots of fruit on the nose. Really fascinating how that works out. Personally I wouldn't start with an ice cube but slowly add drops of water until you reached the point where it suits your tastes, as you always can add more later on that way, but can't take the water out when you've put too much in it.

Teeling is tasty, got a little bit left on my shelf of that one. I'm kind of disappointed not seeing Knappogue castle whiskey (Irish) or Bib and Tucker Bourbon (American), those two are by far my favorites in either category/ country for the type. Highly recommend both of them. *also- we use both imperial and metric in the USA when it comes to measurements, there are millimeters and centimeters alongside inches on our rulers and measuring tapes, and use both types in our socket and crescent wrenches, to name a few things (most car battery connection terminals are a 10mm socket or crescent btw). One yard equates to 0.914 meters, so they're also nearly the same haha.
