Irish Whiskeys Ratings and Reviews

Glendalough Double Barrel Irish Whiskey

Glendalough 3/29/23

Neat or on ice, it's not nice. Plasticky taste with bitter background. Goes down rough and sits there. Worst whiskey I've had in some time. Will avoid going forward.

Slane Triple Casked Irish Whiskey

Great tasting Irish whiskey at an afordable price

A nicely complex whiskey that tastes like the more expensive ones.
On the rocks or with a drop or 2 of water for a sipper really makes it bloom!

Bushmills 10 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey

Took a chance at an airport bar and loved it! I love the vanilla flavor as the ice melts. Smooth and potent, great value on this bottle.

Knappogue Castle 12 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey

An elegant and smooth Irish whiskey that exhibits a complex, but not overpowering finish. This is a superb example of a 12yr old whiskey that hits all the right notes. I will keep this in my bar.

Glendalough Poitin Mountain Strength

My husband ordered this by mistake. He says it is awful. Very harsh with an unpleasant taste and aroma. Glendalough Gin is very good.

Glendalough Double Barrel Irish Whiskey

Used Glendalough in a tasting I conducted along with Red Breast 12, Green Spot and Quiet Man. All 10 people raved about Glendalough. Smooth and excellent taste. Most had not heard of Glendalough since it is not offered in Virginia ABC stores.

Bushmills Prohibition Recipe Irish Whiskey

Really enjoying this drink. Highly recommend as part of your collection.

McConnell's Irish Whisky

Irish that tastes like bourbon

A delightful new discovery

Glendalough Double Barrel Irish Whiskey

This is so smooth. No, burn on the back end either. One glass has 3 distinct profiles, Neat, with a splash, over ice is like getting three separate whiskies in one bottle

Paddy Old Irish Whiskey

Great drink!!! Good price! Took a little while to get it just don’t run low before you order.

Loved it!

Redbreast Lustau Edition Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey

Exceptional value. Great taste.

My wife purchased the Redbreast Lustau Edition and I find it exceptional in taste, I think that it some ways it tastes better and is more aromatic and pleasing than my much more expensive 21 years old Irish whiskey. I was skeptical at first and asked her not to purchase the Lustau. I am very happy that she made the purchase. This Irish whiskey is such an exceptional value. I highly recommend you give it a try.

Redbreast 27 Year Old Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey

I'm not kidding when I say 5 of us were all very excited to try this, being huge redbreast fans, and we all had the exact same reaction to the finish, it tastes like green onions. I didn't say a word waiting to see if anyone else noticed, but we all said the same. Stick with the excellent other redbreast choices.

The Whistler Imperial Stout Cask Finish Irish Whiskey

Not what I was expecting from a stout aged Irish. There’s an odd funk to it, almost a sour note. Like a bier de garde ale or something. A bit disappointed.

Jameson Original Irish Whiskey

Great tasting whiskey. I will buy again!!

Limavady Single Barrel Irish Whiskey

An excellent, smooth Irish Whiskey

A rare single malt from Ireland. Smooth, very drinkable for new and experienced whiskey drinkers. Ordered 4 more bottles after my first glass.

Dead Rabbit Irish Whiskey

I found this beauty when I visited Dublin a few years ago, was intrigued by the name. They gave me a sample and i was hooked. Am now thrilled to find I can get this in the US, as I was only previously able to get it from Ireland. Clean, crisp, wonderful Irish whisky, you cannot go wrong with this.

Redbreast 12 Year Old Cask Strength Irish Whiskey

I'm not a big drinker in general but I greatly enjoyed this. Very smooth, good taste.

Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey

There are definitely some good whiskey out there for $30 or less and this is one of them. I am not ashamed to say I love this. Smooth like butter with hints of honey and vanilla. This whiskey gets a bad rap just because of who it's associated with. Not fair.

Tullamore D.E.W. Original Irish Whiskey

Very nice Irish whiskey, Good value

The Busker Triple Cask Triple Smooth Irish Whiskey

Great smooth flavor. Makes a terrific Irish Manhattan and reasonably priced. Slainte!

Redbreast 12 Year Old Cask Strength Irish Whiskey

Excellent after taste!

Excellent after taste. Much better than the 80 proof!.

Redbreast 27 Year Old Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey

I picked up two bottles of Red Breast 27 year old on recommendation of my store manager. We discussed the 20 year old and 15 year olds at length. He had recently had sampled Louis Xlll cognac and compared the complexities of both as being very similar. I have to agree a poor man’s Louis Xlll cognac at 1/10 the price.

Writers' Tears Copper Pot Irish Whiskey

This was an excellent and pleasant surprise for a evening, This was very smooth and I’ll definitely order it again a keep it on my shelf.

Dead Rabbit Irish Whiskey

Worth the money, sweet finish, best bottle I've bought so far

Jameson Original Irish Whiskey

Jameson…perfect for sweetening pipes

I have no clue as to the taste of any Irish whiskey other than as an Irish coffee ingredient. Primarily, I use Jameson to clean and sweeten my smoking pipes. It is particularly appropriate when cleaning my Petersons. It is also just fine in Irish coffee.

Redbreast 27 Year Old Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey

Not sure. Smell and opening tastes very nice and smooth. Confused about the finish though, as it had an overpowering taste of must or mildew on the back end. Not sure if this is a bad bottle or not. Due to the overwhelming positive reviews I may order another bottle and give it one more try. Wonder if anyone else has had this experience. Definitely a disappointment though. I did report it to Caskers. My bottle came in fully sealed. Maybe it was just a bad batch?

Dead Rabbit Irish Whiskey

My palate is not nearly as refined as my friends and family, but they love this whiskey, and I can't blame them. I can't explain why I like it. I just do. We drink this regularly, and it is a staple at Daint's, here 6 miles off the Maine coast.

Green Spot Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey

One of my favorite Irish

Green Spot is tied with Redbreast 12 for being my favorite Irish Whisky around the $50-60 mark. To me the nose is heavy with green apple, cloves, even some light banana bread or coconut. All of these carry over in the taste, which is incredibly smooth and like Redbreast is a wonderful mix of the typical Irish biscuit notes and a heavy portion of fruit, like the nose Green Spot reminds me of green apples and light tropical fruits. This is one of my go-to's and one I frequently recommend to Irish lovers.

The Whistler Distillers Select Double Oaked

Smooth, malt-y Irish Whiskey

Flavors of the malted grain, a little oak sweetness, and very smooth in the mouth. The vanilla notes come to the front when a few drops of water are added to the shot. Excellent Irish for the price.

Silkie Dark Irish Whiskey

A different sort of Irish

This is a sourced blend, bottled by a distillery that is building their own whiskey still with plans to begin making their own spirit in late 2021. If you expect a "traditional" Irish (such as Jameson or Red Breast), or if you expect a "peated irish" like Connemara, you'll be surprised - pleasantly so, I hope. The peat notes are gentle and herbal, especially on the nose, compared to the briny smoke you get in Islay Scotch. I believe this may be because Irish peat has different vegetation than much of Scottish peat. The label does not give the mash bill (it just says "peated single malts with soft grain"), but I wouldn't be surprised if there is more than just barley in there. Moderately complex, there are several notes to be discovered. Definitely worth a try.

Jameson Caskmates Irish Whiskey Stout Edition

Jameson Caskmates Stout Edition Irish Whiskey

This is a cold-weather staple in my house. It's not fancy, but it's a pleasure to drink, every single time.

Dead Rabbit Irish Whiskey

This whiskey is even better than the name!

Kilbeggan Traditional Irish Whiskey

Travis the Irishman 4/11/21

Best Traditional Irish taste

I first drank this whiskey while touring Ireland and fell in love with it. Tasting it is like being there again.

Jameson 18 Year Old Limited Reserve Irish Whiskey

Jameson 18 Year Old Triple Distilled Irish Whiskey

This is a great whiskey, up neat and evening sipping.

Waterford Organic Gaia 1.1 Irish Single Malt Whisky

Mario Eats 4/6/21

If you are expecting the classic Irish Whisky "taste," then do NOT buy this edition. This juice is closer to white dog than anything else. Smooth and with some cereal notes, but do not expect a traditional whisky experience.

Green Spot Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey

Absolutely best Irish Whiskey for the money

Rated #2 for reason. Smooth and excellent flavors. Highly recommend to Irish whiskey connoisseurs.

Jameson Black Barrel Irish Whiskey

Very smooth with an excellent taste.

The Sexton Single Malt Irish Whiskey

This Whiskey is very smooth and flavorful!

Connemara Peated Irish Single Malt Whiskey

My New Favorite Irish

I guess we're two of the people who like peated whiskey. We thought this was one of the best new (to us) things to drink we've had a quite a while.

Glendalough Double Barrel Irish Whiskey

High End, Incredibly Smooth

This is amazing!!! For the price, it is even more incredible! Fell in love with it on the first sip...

Teeling Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey

I like Teeling but...

For my taste the regular Teeling is superior to the single Pot Still and is more price friendly. Of all the Teeling varieties, the Single Grain Teeling is my favorite. That one can also be found here on Caskers.

Teeling Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey

Pleasant-Smooth-Tastey

I try and have a rounded experience with Irish Whiskey’s meaning I’m not shy of having a broad price point. My take on this Teeling Single Pot is a #8 for a regular drinking whiskey. For my palate, which is simple, it’s got weight, flavors and it’s enjoyable. I now have a beer chaser to wash and that starts the experience all over again. So over this is a keeper and I look forward to spend some more time with Mr Teeling....,

Connemara 12 Year Old Peated Irish Single Malt Whiskey

Mike Gillis 1/8/21

This is the absolute epitome of smooth peated Irish whiskey. At the end of the day, this whiskey takes all others when it comes to taste, smoothness, and the inability to be beaten by any other whisky! This caliber whisky doesn't come along every day. It shows itself to be incredible in all aspects, and to stand the test if time in all categories. God bless this whisky and God bless the distiller!

Dead Rabbit Irish Whiskey

Absolutely enjoyed it,it will be a bottle I have on order before I empty the previous on.

Sweet with a little spice on the front with a smooth finish on the backend.

Bushmills 21 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whisky

Bushmills 21 Year Old Three Woods Single Malt Irish Whiskey

Romcypher 12/31/20

Great whisky, exquisite Taste great quality, love how smooth it goes down. Highly recommend it for a whisky connoisseur!

Green Spot Château Léoville Barton Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey

Chicano Thunder 12/11/20

If you like any of the Spots whiskey then this will be a treat.

Jameson 18 Year Old Triple Distilled Irish Whiskey

I bought this for my boyfriend last year. He loved it and regrets that he had to share it.

Jameson 18 Year Old Triple Distilled Irish Whiskey

Very smooth and flavorful, worth the price tag, will be buying another.

Roe & Co Blended Irish Whiskey

Flaviar scotch type whiskey tasting box -- a yes 10/29/20

Well worth investigating, especially if you're fond of sweeter whiskeys

I ordered a sample of this whiskey as part of a tasting set from Flaviar, and boy was I pleasantly surprised. This is going in my liquor cabinet, as it is much more palatable than Jack Single Barrel, and costs a bit less.

it is slightly sweet (which I like) so if you like Makers Mark (which is my fallback when I'm out bar hopping as you can usually get it as a top shelf whiskey in most dive bars) you will love this.

Nice nose, hints of vanilla and fall fruits (peaches, pears, apples, unusual for a whiskey, normally I'd expect that with wines) with some cardamom and allspice hints underneath.

It's very, very smooth, especially since it is 90 proof, velvety on the tongue with a long finish, vanilla and slight caramel tones with some fall spice flavor (nutmeg, cardamom, pumpkin spices) which would make it great during the holidays. Nice silky mouthfeel, long finish, only a slight burn on the first sip (it is 90 proof), but that fades quickly. Nice complexity for a whiskey that costs less than $40 a bottle generally, worth the upgrade from Makers for sure, as it is alot more interesting.

Going to source this as a regular in my liquor cabinet, may have to give the Makers to friends to make room LOL.

Glendalough Poitin Mountain Strength

I will definitely be getting this again!

There wasn't much nose to this which is deceiving. Had great legs in the glass. I didn't get pungent vanilla but I definitely got hints of vanilla and berries with a slight maltiness. The finish was definitely bold and had that alcohol burn that turned into a nice warmth in the chest. Tried it with ginger beer as a mixer and yep, works great!
