Any suggestions? Friend is going to the US and wants to get one of the guys a really good Irish whiskey he won't be able to get over there, budget max €100, hes a Bushmills 21 and Midleton drinker normally.
Thanks.

Its hard to beat the bushills single malts r even the black bush in my opinion. locks is also a nice dram but whisky is very subjective.
if you are looking for somthing unusuall there is the greenore single grain whiskey. if he is around the bushmills or middleton area they sell unusuall vintages that can be printed up with the name on the bottle. this may be available in the old jameson distillery dublin as well

Jameson redbreast,12 year old.

A couple of very nice, good value recommendations posted already. Emmet's got good taste <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

But why not get an authentic pure pot still whiskey? Its the signature Irish whiskey style but surprisingly few Irish whiskey's these days are the real deal, in terms of being pure pot still(despite what the label says).

Redbreast is the one to go for, the 12 year old is good value and can be found in lots of places (Tescos have it), but if you want to push the spend a little closer to your budget limit and get something a little bit more exclusive then the Redbreast 15 year old is yer only man!

Snap - Dempsey beat me to it on the Redbreast recommendation <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt="" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt="" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> .

The 12 year old is a nice drink too, and actually quite distinct to the 15 year old!
