Hope you get some, the aroma is something else. Both the Glenfiddich [first single I ever tasted] and The Glenlivet are Lowland malts from Banffshire, and are wonderfully light and balanced.
There are not very many varieties of Irish whiskey, but I love Black Bush, and my favourite would be Powers.

Currently in my drinks cabinet are
Glenmorangie 10 Years Old
Glenfiddich
The Edradour 10 YO
Glenmorven 16 YO
Dalwhinnie 15 YO
Lagavulin 15 YO
Cragganmore 12 YO
Aberlour Cask Strength 57%

and Irish:
Bushmills Malt 10 YO
Powers Gold Label Special Reserve 12 YO

The Lagavulin is showing the most wear and tear, I will have to do a replenishment trip soon. The only one missing that I would rate highly {but it's all subjective, I admit} is Glenfarclas, another "sherry" type whisky.

Like the recipe for Irish Coffee, I like it myself, but I would not use an expensive brew in it, it doesn't need one for the effect.
