better than all the jameson's though (i think) is Redbreast 12 year Pure Pot Still. all the jameson's are a blend, but the redbreast is not. giving each run of it a slightly different character. the taste is excellent, and it is smoother than whiskey costing twice as much per bottle.

aside from that Midleton is quite impressive. i prefer redbreast over it (especially when you factor in the $180 a bottle price tag), but it is a very unique and interesting whiskey. it's made in limited production runs by the jameson distillery. i recommend drinking it neat with just a small splash of water to open up the nose and taste.

cheers.
