Doug might be correct, it is possible that most of it gets exported.
Another whiskey that seems to be only available abroad is Tullamore Dew.

I've got a bottle of that in the booze cupboard, sells for the same price
as our domestic rye whiskeys, in other words, an arm and a leg after the Government
gets its' cut.

Have a taste, and tell us what you think of it.

I am under the impression that the "connisseurs"(sp?... I can see it's
wrong, but I don't know why!) do not rate it highly. However, to my simple
taste buds, it is as good as Bushmills Green Label, and yet only costs half
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).

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!!

As in everything else in this country, we try to be bilingual, so we
have 0.71, (old 26 oz), 1l, 1.34l (old 40 oz) and the "Texas Mickey",
3.78l (one US gal, 128 UK fl oz I think?)
