I am under the impression that the "connisseurs"(sp?... I can see it's

as much.


Well I'm hardly a connoisseur of Irish Whiskeys, but, IMHO, Tullamore is not as
good as Bushmills, (any label), it seems to be somewhat harsher, less smooth if
you will. However, it's just great for making Irish Coffee, which would probably
be a hanging offense if done with Bushmills Green! Sort of like mixing soda and adding
ice to Glenlivit (sp).
