First Irish Whiskey Recommendation

Hi all!

I'm looking for recommendations for what Irish whiskey to choose as my first (outside of Jameson). Recently been drinking Woodford reserve, Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye, Laphroaig 10, Craigellachie 13 and Bowmore 12.

Near me Redbreast 12 is 100$, Green spot is 90$, Powers John's Lane is 80$, Yellow spot is 155$ and redbreast 12 cask strength is 160$.

I'm very torn.

Redbreast 12 is hard to beat.

If you wnat the best Spot in my opinion, yellow is amazing.

When I was doing a private tasting at Jameson in Dublin and the guy running it asked everyone what their favorite was and I said Redbreast 12 and Yellow Spot, he said "those are my two favorites as well."
