Hope someone can help
I am off to Eire for a night to see clients (who are putting me up for the night)
I wanted to take them something that I could purchase from Duty Free ( as I am flying)
I was thinking of a bottle of Jameson's or Bushmills, but whisky isn't my thing at all
What would those it the know recommend, it doesn't have to be those 2
Thanks

I should have been clearer in my post
They are Scottish and have a cottage for 3 months in Co Sligo so I am looking for something Irish.
He has committed me to drinking Guinness (which for a lifelong lager only drinking man like me is going to be a challenge) so I thought I should reciprocate in kind with an Irish whisky or the like

Jameson's is cooking whisky and tbh, Bushmills isn't much better. Pretty bland stuff.
Our whisky is much better (sorry, I realise that didn't help but it had to be said).

If you are going to go for an easy to source bottle then Bushmills is definitely the right choice, it's far superior to Jamesons.
If the selection at Duty free is good you may well get a bottle of Green Spot. It's quite rare but absolutely fantastic. Again in the rarer category a Teeling Single Grain or a Connemara Peated. If you wanted to go down the comedy route ******' Irish Whiskey usually raises a chuckle.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Any input on whether Bushmills or Jamesons is as bad as JMS suggests and which is the lesser of the 2 evils.
As I am not going to drink it I am not too bothered personally and it feels righter to me than taking a Scottish Malt as my hosts are emersing themselves in the "Irish" experience

From memory Jameson 1780 is the better Jameson while Bushmills 1680 single malt is the one to go for. Bushmills is now owned by Diagio so is part of the world's largest drinks group. Not forgetting Bushmills is in Norn Irn and Jameson is southern.There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

Bushmills is no longer part of Diageo. Sold off in return for a tequila brand. The Jamieson of Jamiesons whiskey was Scottish and is actually buried in Alloa. Doesn't help with your question but every day is a school day!!
