I'm not a drinker, neither is my fiance. We happen to be in Ireland for a couple days and I'm thinking if bringing back a bottle of something decent for a friend of mine back home in Canada but have no idea what to get. We are in Belfast for tonight and head to Dublin for a few days tomorrow (will have a car in Dublin). I've been thinking of doing either the Jameson or Teeling tours and getting something straight from the distillery but maybe someone can help guide me.
Budget $60 Canadian preferable, I'd like to get something he couldn't buy back home. We've been in Europe long enough that duty free is not a concern as we have plenty of exemption left over for our spending limits so I'm not restricted to buying at the airport.

Poitín is still illegal in Ireland unfortunately so it can be really hard to track down. It also tends to be somewhere in the 50-90% alcohol range! Aside from that I don't really have any advice, unfortunately I can't afford to be a whiskey connoisseur.
ehhhh, you can get bottles of sanctioned stuff in the duty-free.
It won't be like the ambrosia that someone had drawn "from a spring out the back, so. Yer man says it comes right out o' the ground." that I had when I was living there, but it's certainly going to be uncommon in Canada.
