Irish: Redbreast 12 or Green Spot. Both have the typical creamy malty character, but Redbreast is more tropical fruity and Green Spot is more fresh green apple.
Green Spot is also a good choice, €55~€65. Also triple distilled with a sweet, creamy malt, but has a green apple fruity note instead.
They are both excellent, and I doubt you could tell much of a difference in this cocktail with the mezcal.
You could go with Bruichladdich maybe or Green Spot if you’d like an Irish whiskey option.
But Powers Johns Lane, Green Spot, and Redbreast 12 are all terrific entry points to the category too.

Parent context: Have you noticed a flavor difference since they dropped the proof to 80? Reply: Yes, 44% was perfect for a Negroni. I’m done buying Beefeater forever, Plymouth is my go to now.
Plymouth!
I've enjoyed Plymouth, Tanq10, Ford's, Sipsmith, and Broker's, among others.
You'll also want a standard London Dry gin. Plymouth or Sipsmith are great options.
Plymouth is Juniper heavy
