Irish whiskeys tend to be fruitier and lighter than their American and Scottish cousins, with a less pronounced alcohol burn. Because of their gentler flavor, these are a good starting point if you’re new to drinking whiskey.  Irish whiskeys are typically aged in the barrel for at least 3 years, helping them achieve their characteristic smooth finish.  Jameson and Bushmills White Label are 2 of the most popular Irish whiskeys. Whiskey connoisseurs also recommend Greenspot, Redbreast 12 Year Old, or Clontarf. Canadian whiskeys are typically blends, meaning they contain a mixture of grain and malt whiskeys. You may find that many blended whiskeys taste smoother than whiskeys made from a single distillation. In addition to containing blends of grain, Canadian whiskeys can also be made with other ingredients, such as wine or any 2-year-old spirit. Because of the wide variety of blends and distillation techniques available in Canada, Canadian whiskeys come in a huge range of flavors. For example, you might try a JP Wiser’s 18 Year Old if you want a smoky, earthy flavor. If you prefer something fruity, sweet, and soft, Corby’s Pike Creek is a good bet. Like bourbon, rye whiskey is an American spirit aged in barrels made from American oak. In order to qualify as a rye, a whiskey must be made with at least 51% rye grain. Rye tends to be more peppery and savory than many whiskeys, so you may want to grab a bottle of rye if you aren’t a fan of sweeter spirits. Popular rye brands include Old Overholt, Wild Turkey, and Bulleit. If you don’t like a strong alcohol burn, look for whiskeys that have had more time to mature. As whiskey ages, the wood from the barrel softens the harshness of the drink. As the wood draws out some of the harsher flavors from the whiskey, it also adds its own distinct flavors to the mix. Older is not always better. Whiskey that’s been aged too long (e.g., 23 versus 15 years) can sometimes soak up too many tannins from the wood, resulting in an unpleasant flavor. Even within a single type of whiskey, you will encounter a lot of variation. For example, don’t just try one kind of Irish whiskey and decide it’s not for you—you might prefer another bottle that was aged a little longer or has a higher or lower alcohol content. If you can, compare cheaper varieties with more expensive ones. You may find that the pricier bottles are not necessarily your favorites!
