I'd go with the Teeling at that price! You can always get Jameson etc, but you might not always have Teeling available.

Like Duane I'm bucking the tradition, so screw it, I'm having some Laphroaig! My Kennedy ancestors will be turning in their graves.... :roll:
Seriously Duane, I've never seen that rum before. Irish Rum?! looks rather tasty!

Jamesons if I must drink whiskey. GOD created whiskey so the Irish wouldn't take over the world. Looks like it worked.
And the resilience of Irish people is incredible. Everywhere in the world I've gone I've seen evidence of their presence. That some of my ancestors survived the imposed famine is a source of pride for me.
In a sense they/we have. Not in a imperialistic sense but you'll find contributions from the Irish everywhere.

It blew my mind too. A friend of mine taking a sabbatical in the U.K. shot me that across the pond last month for my birthday. It is wonderful!
Okay, here is my swan song for this forum. I can not abide a forum that will tolerate such an insufferable ass as "trouttimes". It is true that there are a limited number of things to discuss about pipe smoking. The camaraderie, however, was a nice aspect of this online space. I will not, and can not, tolerate such a person as this. I might forgive his abuse of language, the fact that he his a transplant contributing to the ruination of one of my favorite places, and other heinous aspects of his person. I will not tolerate his public proclamation against Irish people and people with Irish ancestry.
Good bye.
Good bye.
Well, looks like it came down to the Teeling. I just ran out and bought the bottle. They had about 5, so maybe if I like it enough I'll pick up more. For $37 and change with tax, I think it's a pretty damn good deal! Will follow up with my review once cracked and sampled.
Seldom, you're seething and upset over an old joke? Wow!! My redheaded Irish GF loves that joke.
As my dear Irish grandma was prone to observe, "Pity the Irish, our wars are so glad and our lives are so sad."
I'm Irish by heritage only. One thing I do know is, most Irish have a great sense of humor, irony, and survival. It's the reason Ireland emerged as a country only early in the 20th Century. Before that it was country of septs, tribes and under the English heel. If we couldn't find a Viking or Englishman to fight why ... we'd fight each other. That's why it took over 700 years to partially rid the Island of the English.
A few words on the interweb are hardly worth getting one's panties in a bunch over.

My ancestry is Shawnee and Scotts-Irish from the Appalachian Mountains. Hill folk through and through. As much prone to partaking from the moonshine as they are a good meal. Loving, loyal, and fiercely defensive of family, beliefs, and property.
Wow! I push a button there. I'm German Irish by way of Georgia. My wife is Irish thru and thru by way of Texas. She says I'm an acquired taste. I'm too old and been thru far too much to change. Sorry if I offended you.
Yowza. My Irish wife’s Irish grandpa McGinnis first told me that joke: “The Irish would have ruled the world if we hadn’t invented whiskey.” I never considered it to be a personal attack, rather a cultural “type” joke that even the Irish find a chuckle in. I guess some people have less room in their life for tolerance while proclaiming tolerance. I really like this comedian’s take on taking offense: https://youtu.be/ceS_jkKjIgo
