I've always preferred Jameson to Bushmills when it comes to Irish whiskeys.
The word "whiskey" comes from the old Gaelic " uisge beatha" which translates to "water of life".
It's been my go-to drink when paying respects to the dead, celebrating births, marriages, anniversaries, or days ending in "y".
