Some great choices! I must admit, I really like the yellowspot but I haven’t tried the two wine finished green spots, I’ll try to fix that soon especially the Leoville like you say. I’ve heard many good things about that whiskey
@@WhiskyWarsI loved the yellow spot too. It's gone up a bit in price since the last time I bought it. I may still buy it again though. I'm thinking about the redbreast 15 but the price is holding me back. I've been wanting to try it for years.
@garyrobinson8665 you’re right, I find myself doing that a lot with whisky recently. I think the spots are probably a bit overpriced but they’re also really good. The redbreast 15 is one of my favourites but it’s also the most different so there’s a chance you might not like it as much. I get a lot of mint and oak on it but only you will know if it’s worth the money or not for you. Black Friday is coming in a few weeks so maybe check them out and see if any hit the sales and maybe go with that?
I would love if you could put a list of these in the description of the video. If possible (affiliate) links would be amazing. That would make it much easier for me as a newbie to find them online. ❤️ Great video though, much appreciated!
That’s a good idea, I’ll make a note of that and try to include links where it is the cheapest at that particular time for my next “list” videos. I’ve actually just finished recording as of a few minutes ago, a beginner bourbon video and 5 beginner whiskies for people getting into scotch so maybe you’ll find those helpful and I’ll do my best to remember to add links in for you!
Nice whiskies. I have a couple of irish whiskies too and I love them. My favorites are Redbreast 21, Dingle Batch 6 and Fercullen 21. Cheers from Brazil.
Very nice! I’ve never had the opportunity to try a 21 year irish but I can imagine how nice that redbreast must be! Ah I love Brazil, I might be going at the end of the year. Thanks for watching
I've just started down the road of Irish Whiskey. It's difficult to get certain bottles in Canada, so I imagine the collection will take time to build.
I must admit, I lived in Cork for the past 3 years. 15 mins away from the Middleton distillery where they sell the black barrel at cask strength, around 57% but it’s at €135 and so I just couldn’t buy it even though I love the DNA, I think that makes this proof one at 50% for around €40-50 when I bought it, all the more worth the while although it was limited edition so prices are probably a lot higher now, I’d love them to bring it back id buy 3 of them! If you can find the proof for an affordable price then it’s definitely worth it but price is king with whiskies I feel
I wasn’t blown away at first but I went to back to it after 6 months and just loved it. Really wish I could pick up another bottle! 😅 I love tropical fruits in an Irish and I think this one doesn’t just proof up the standard black barrel but instead adds in those fruity notes too. Unfortunately the cask strength version is €135 so I won’t be ever buying that one but that to me makes the proof all the better value! I think it was around €40 in duty free when it was initially released a year or two ago, probably will be much higher now
That's a great first place pick. You should try and get something from Dunvilles, they have a fantastic 12 YO cask strength, and regular 10 and 12 YO as well
I wish Sweden had a better Irish selection, and better prizes. That's why I haven't had so many Irish whiskys. Of those few I've had, I choose Writers Tears Distillers Edition, Teeling Rum Cask and Jameson Black Barrel 40%. Someday I might dive into that pool more. Thank you!
I haven’t but thanks for the recommendation. This list was just my list of Irish whiskeys from my collection so if I can grab a bottle in the future maybe they could creep in!
@@WhiskyWarsOf course. And Cooleys are too expensive now. I loved them when they were not so expensive. It's a small distillery. I recommend a visit if possible. I don't know if they give tours or not. I'm not affiliated. I'm primarily a Scotch Whisky drinker. I used to write reviews that got millions of hits. I bragged up Springbank in my reviews, and look what happened. So unfortunate. Now it's hard to get bottles of that. . . .
My favourite is redbreast 12. I also love Powers John's Lane 12. Green Spot Chateau Leoville Barton is really nice too.

@@WhiskyWarsyeah thanks I will see what I can pick up on black Friday.
Great first place choice! Mine too!
Cheers 🥃
Thanks! What a fantastic whiskey it is 🥃

@jsoellner1 you’re more than welcome, I hope you like it!

I paid only $85 for my Yellow Spot recently! Love the Redbreast 12 CS!
Nice one! Enjoy :)

Best of luck! there’s some great whiskies out there 🤞 🥃 some.. not so great as well haha
Solid Irish! I still want to hunt down your second choice, but love, love your top pick. Amazing!

That's a solid list! Unfortunately I don't get along with pot still Irish whiskey. I am super curious about the Black Barrel Proof though. Cheers!

@@WhiskyWars I'll keep my eyes open for that in Duty Free, let's see I might get lucky
🤞

I’ll have a look into them, thanks for the recommendation!
Excellent video !
And which the worst 3 of them ?
Thanks! That comes out next Friday :)

No worries!
Cooley is the best by far. Have you ever even tasted it?

@@WhiskyWarsJust popped online and saw Cooley give tours, and cheap too. Wow, you are lucky living not so far away, perhaps. Wish I could go . . . .
