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).


Green Bush is £22.00 a bottle ($39.60)in the UK. Usually, I pay £6-£8 for
the Tullamore in France.

Perhaps my taste buds can be easily influenced by money!!
