Mash and Drum dude said it was better then Jameson. So I picked up a bottle. I would write that it is better then Jameson but it is still just OK. The buttery finish is definitely there for me. Please note that we drank Red breast first so that may have skewed my thoughts. Powers is definitely different then Red Breast. The big difference for me from Bourbon is Irish Whiskey (as a class) is more subtle then Bourbon. The word delicate is used quite a bit and I believe that is a good start. I like it but in a different way from Bourbon, Rye, and other whiskeys.
