    Get them a bottle of Powers? That way you get to keep both and enjoy the hell out of them. Could always spring for a bottle of Johnnie Walker?

    1. Get empty bottle
    2. Pour half of each into it
    3. Keep the other half of each
    4....
    5. Profit

    I live in the middle of a big rice field in Japan. Both bottles are probably irradiated at this stage. Maybe I should just get rid of both... :D

    Worth the risk to drink them tbh.

    Big rice field you say?? Make them a bottle of sake, although it takes about 9-12 months for it to mature :/

    Think it was more to do with which community benefited more from the sales and manufacturing end.

    For a Japanese person so sake would just be same old, same old. Can get some quality stuff round these parts though. Nice old place near me that is a few hundred years old.

    The knowledgeable people seem to think that Bushmills is the better quality and that I should give the Jamesons. Correct?

    That's a good point. Do you know if Bushmill really used the slogan "untouched by fenian hands" ?

    Oh, thanks. I wasn't being smart. I'd give the Jameson. It's a little harder to get, given that it's supposed to be for duty free. It's not the best Jameson, though.

    Either one is a lovely present to give and receive.
    Personally I prefer Bushmills but the 10yo has it's detractors as well.
