Your grandfather may have lost friends back in the early 20th century to the Black & Tans and im sorry to hear that, but guess what? My South Side Irish Chicago Dad always told me that Jameson was the Catholic whisky and that Bushmills was the whiskey made by the damn Protestants. If you had and asked for Bushmills, you would have received a long stare and possibly been asked to leave. No one here has a soft spot in their heart for Paddys? This is wayyyy late, and I apologize, but the record needed to be set straight. I find Jameson to be a bit too sweet, I guess.

[3], Following reform of the distilling laws in 1823, the distillery expanded rapidly. The most traumatic era in the entire history of Roman Catholicism, some have argued, was the period from the middle of the 14th century to the middle of the 16th. This is an interesting thread and I have a few more now to try. So by your logic it is fair to say that Every time you raise a glass of American Bourbon you are in essence raising a glass to an Native American losing his land (and in MOST cases his life) to British/American rule! It is either good or it is not. I generally have several bottles of Irish on hand. There will always be a few zealots who do, but from my knowledge, both Bushmills and Jamesons are enjoyed by people of both faiths.

In 1966, with the Irish whiskey industry still struggling following Prohibition in the United States, the Anglo-Irish Trade War and the rise of competition from Scotch whiskey, John Power & Son joined forces with the only other remaining distillers in the Irish Republic, the Cork Distilleries Company and their Dublin rivals John Jameson & Son, to form Irish Distillers.

The truth of the matter is, the age-old faux-pas of ordering Bushmills for fear of supporting English aggression and offending the Republic of Ireland is about as Irish as corned beef which is to say, not very Irish at all but rather Irish-American (Sorry, kids, corned beef is a Jewish invention).

The northern Protestant states, angered by the violation of their rights to choose granted in the Peace of Augsburg, banded together to form the Protestant Union. Hi, I actually know the reason behind the controversy. Redbreast IS great for sipping (especially for the price) and Powers Gold is fine too. Still enjoy the Black Bush and the Bushmills 16yr. Yet a great friend of Catholic Ireland. Most of those comments are from Americans who watch a lot of television, Im afraid. And, fact fans, the space-age Middleton distillery in the far south makes the neutral alcohol for the blends produced at Bushmills up North.
