I think I’ve watched all ur Irish reviews and we just don’t jive, which is fine. I still watch. My other comment is that the pot still spice makes Irish in general very susceptible to the day you drink it. I also think the reg GS can be the most inconsistent bc it’s 40% and the spice bite isn’t always welcome when you want a softer pour. Cheers!
Great review! The port finished portion is 17 years old but I’m not sure what percentage of it is in there. I got a lot of cinnamon and vanilla like Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Mitchell & Son just released another Spot this past week, Green Spot Quail’s Gate Pinot Noir finish.
I'm waiting to open my app on Saint Patty's Day. You definitely got my attention with this one. Now I am more eager to try it. See what I get. Bill, did you try with water? I wonder if it does anything to it. And I absolutely agree with you. My go-to spot is green spot. Definitely worth 60 bucks. I have to admit I do enjoy all of them 😂
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary I have to admit I'm waiting to open this bottle up just to see. I really don't want to be disappointed. Well I pay a fair price 105 +20shiping but back in my mind right now,Maybe I should not open this damn thing and just leave it as it is.))))
€360 now You should not have opened it 😂 Bought 10 when released This will be a great investment for the future I’ve drank a few samples of it and it’s very nice
It’s the funniest of whiskey categories - makes sense as it’s the most interesting. The home of the drink, largest industry in the world, then near total collapse following their war with the British, then latter day resurgence - in that it’s low stuff are often used as an entry level. Then you evolve into other more interesting things and leave it behind, but when you fully become a whiskey head, it’s high end stuff is untouchable by any other category because it so delicate and subtle but brilliant. It’s either basic. Or the best stuff there is. With little in between at the moment (owing to that legacy of collapse).
For a few years now irish whiskey all ends up tasting like green apple jolly rancher in a not good way. Tried the different spots, Tullamore, various Red Breast, Writer's Tears, just not for me an Irish decendant. Thanks for the review.
I have a similar vibe with unpeated scotch single malt. It all has this note that I can only describe as like smelling a bag of pic n mix movie theater candy. I absolutely loved it the first time I picked it up. But after a few years it so dominants anything Scottish that isn’t masked with peat or one of those terrible blends Scotland does, I lost interest in it. Will have to go back and see has anything changed in my palate.
Bill, fair review. Cost me 130 and the fruits are good but not enough at this price. I enjoy the Blue Spot more. Just starting on a Red Spot.

The Gold is actually my favorite of the spot line. And I have all the recent Spot releases except for the Green Spot Quails Gate.
Quails gate is really nice
And a great collector bottle in my opinion 🤛
"I need another sip... give me just a sec" - Me, every time I drink Irish whiskey.
Love the moving the air over the tongue suggestion. The whiskey sounds quite interesting. May have to try a pour.
Fair review. Thanks 🥃
Hi Bill ! I very like green and yellow spot whisky , but never try gold spot , very difficult buy ))) Cheers ! P.S. sorry my English )
I love the green and yellow as well!
Nice review. Inflation is making it harder to determine whether a whiskey is worth it or not.

Ooo!
Glass to mouth?!?!
Oh my God dude!!! LMFAO!!!
Hah! One of my more popular shirts
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary I admire the guts. Lol!
That's the type of shirt I would wear in a grocery store with my pineapple in tow. Lol!
@@ronaldguidry2256 hahaha! Bet that would get attention
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary I would hope so. Lol!
Love the Spots.
I do not get the whole Irish whiskey day or month. Irish whiskey is fantastic and should be consumed daily 🥃
Hah, I agree. Irish Whiskey month started years ago when it wasn't selling well and people mostly ignored it.
Love the t-shirt you're wearing. Another whiskey not to buy as the price here would be around $300.
I been in the mood for good Scotch and bourbon, so I'm delaying my Irish month start til Monday lol.
We all sacrifice in our own way
I want the whiskey and the shirt

St Paddy's Day my friend
I have tried it with water as well. The ABV wasn't a huge problem with this one and although it chanted slightly, not a ton

Found it at Costco 6 months ago for about $105.
nice
Hazlenut.
Irish always comes across as too delicate for my palate

Goes for about $250 here in the Philippines, so pass for me.
Yikes! Oof. Not a chance would I pay that
This one is straight dole whip. For me it is a little hot and all over the place but it’s a fun dram.
