Whiskey Review and Recommendation Thread

[MrWookie]

Some things I'm interested in:

How Red Breast (Irish) stacks up against the other premium Irish whiskeys.

Your thoughts on how Blanton's compares to Eagle Rare 17, Elijah Craig 18, and Booker's.

Your thoughts on how the Highland Park Scotches compare with similarly priced/aged Highland Scotches.

Your favorite Scotch for $70 or less.

If you'd ever reach for a Canadian whiskey over an American one (which, and why).
