Jameson Gold Reserve Blended Irish Whiskey
70cl / 40% - Awesome blend with a high proportion of pure potstill - this is sumptuous. "If you don't enjoy this, then you just don't get what Irish whiskey is all about. 94 points" Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2008.
Clontarf Classic Blend Blended Irish Whiskey
70cl / 40% - A blended Irish whiskey, Clontarf Classic was originally a 100% grain whiskey from Cooley, but these days the product has a very small amount of malt in it, with the grain supplied by Irish Distillers (top inside info from Jim Murray's Whisky bible there - JM gives it 86 points).
Bushmills 10 Year Old Irish Single Malt Whiskey
70cl / 40% - The benchmark Irish single malt, this has a far greater depth of flavour than standard Irish blends. A previous winner of the 'Best Irish Single Malt Whiskey in the World' at the World Whiskies Awards.
Jameson 18 year Old Blended Irish Whiskey
70cl / 40% - The superlative Jameson 18yo has long been considered one of the brightest stars of the range. This blend of two potstill whiskies and a single grain is matured in Oloroso sherry casks and finished in bourbon wood for 6 months for a brilliantly complex potstill character.
Jameson Miniature Blended Irish Whiskey
5cl / 40% - A minitaure of the world's favourite Irish whisky, Jameson.
Bushmills 1608 / 400th Anniversary Blended Irish Whiskey
70cl / 46% - A special bottling to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the license to distil aqua vitae in Antrim originally granted in 1608 to Sir Thomas Phillips. Bushmills 1608 has already won 'Best Irish Blended Whiskey (No Age Statement)' at the World Whiskies Awards 2008.
Dunville's / Bot.1930s Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey
75cl / 40% - A real museum piece - Dunville's was produced by Dunville & Co. at the Royal Irish Distillery in Belfast, which operated from the 1870s but closed in the 1930s. This Three Crowns bottling was pure potstill whisky with some noticeable sherry cask influence. A dram of Irish distilling history.
Bushmills Black Bush Blended Irish Whiskey
70cl / 40% - A rich, dark, Irish blend, Black Bush contains a high proportion of triple-distilled single malt, aged in Oloroso sherry casks for around 8-10 years before marriage with the grain. Picked up the top prize in its category at the World Whisky Awards 2010.
Jameson 2007 Rarest Vintage Reserve Blended Irish Whiskey
70cl / 46% - The ne plus ultra from Jameson, this has been blended with some of the oldest and rarest whiskeys from Jameson's maturing stock - one of which was a pot-still whiskey matured in a port pipe, which adds an extra fruitiness to the final assemblage. More than justifies the price tag - this is one of the greatest Irish whiskies ever bottled, we feel.
Suntory Hakushu 18 Year Old Japanese Single Malt Whisky
70cl / 43% - A massive step up in quality from the standard Hakushu 12 yrs, this 18yo is amazingly well-defined (as we've come to expect from Japanese whisky) with deliciously rounded fruit and cereal flavours, at times surprisingly reminiscent of the finest Irish potstill whisky (eg Redbreast 15yo).
Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey
70cl / 46% - Introduced by Irish Distillers in 2011 as part of the relaunched range of pot still whiskies, The Barry Crockett Legacy is named for the Midleton master distiller and combines bourbon cask matured whisky with some from a new american oak barrel. A great entry into the Midleton line-up which has been showered with awards since it first appeared on the horizon.
Jameson Blended Irish Whiskey
70cl / 40% - Hugely popular Irish blend, renowned for its affinity with ginger ale. The default springboard into the fascinating world of Irish whiskey, Jameson's quality has improved massively in the last 10-15 years and it's one of Jim Murray's favourites, with 95 points in the Whisky Bible 2013.
Paddy / Bot.1960s Blended Irish Whiskey
75cl / 43% - An old bottle of Paddy Irish Whisky (with no E). We estimate that this was bottled sometime in the 1960s.

Benrinnes 15 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
70cl / 43% / Flora & Fauna - A very interesting dram, the only Speysider to be triple-distilled like a Lowland malt or Irish whiskey, but with a lot more body and character than either of those styles. Impressive stuff.
