So many amazing new Irish whiskeys released over the past 2-3 years, more reviews of these would be greatly appreciated. Please and thank you.
Name some ???
If I ever actually find that bottle out in the world for less than $150 I'm definitely picking it; I'm super eager to try it.
It was just put back up in the Midleton Online store at RRP if you can get it while stocks last...
Doesn’t seem to work on the site
It's £85 in the UK, so you'll be paying way over the odds at that price.
It's beautiful whiskey .
Over the odds...? Hardly@@baldieman64
I've been very lucky to get my hands on several of these since release and at MSRP. Of course, I shared with friends, but I am holding onto one bottle. It is just so good. Not just my favorite spot, but one of my fave whiskeys period. Glad you finally got to review it. Now, try to get your hands on the Gold Spot. I scored one last month and it might be better than Blue. I'll have to do a side-by-side to decide for myself. PS - the Jameson Pot Still you mentioned, I've heard on good word that it has only been released in Ireland. However, I'm sure that it will eventually make its way across the sea. Exciting times for Irish Whiskey.
Strange as it seems I have yet to see a Blue Spot in the wild, but I was fortunate enough to see a GOLD one that I did snag recently. 🖖😎🥃
Just got restocked in the Midleton Online store at RRP if you can get it shipped to you...
I just happened to snag one today. Just happened to look up and there it was setting ontop of some Green Spots. Eager to give this try.
🎼🎼Come guess me this riddle, what beats pipes and fiddle
What's hotter than mustard and milder than cream
What best wets your whistle, what's clearer than crystal
What's sweeter than honey and stronger than steam🎼🎼
Couldn't resist. This tune lives rent free in my head and the mere mention of the Irish brings it forth. ☺☺
Good to see the review, was starting to wonder if it had been forgotten! I'm absolutely happy to have found it (bought two, kept one). That being said, my favorite "spot" is still the Chateau Leoville Barton (Bordeaux finished) Green Spot. Amazed the wax seal stayed stuck to the bottle!
Green spot, Blue spot, Yellow spot, Red spot, and Gold spot all from them. You guys should do an episode tasting them all back to back and pick your favorite or the top two in your opinions!
I keep hearing about this Blue Spot. So now I will keep an eye out for one and grab it if I ever do. thanks for sharing. cheers. 🥃
I love the Spots, I would try any of them, except the brown one.
😅
Nice! Been looking forward to seeing what you guys think of this one
I had the same experience with Blue Spot and adding water. Feel like I’m doing things correctly. :) Thanks for the review.
It’s not whiskey, but would love to see you guys do do some Armagnac reviews. I have found a lot of whiskey drinkers really enjoy some of the 20-40 year Armagnac and they can be found fairly inexpensive given their age. 👍
May I just say I had the pleasure of drinking Mitch's truckload of whiskey at the La Quinta last year, and in fact road the elevator down to the lobby with him and a luggage cart overflowing with boxes. Thanks Mitch, you got Me the whiskey!!!!!!
Younger CS whisk(e)ys often benefit from a drop of water. Pushes it into balance.
I wish Blue Spot and Gold Spot were available in the Netherlands. Would buy it in a heartbeat, but currently I'm just limited to scalpers and I refuse to take part in that part of our scene
I look forward to the review of Gold Spot in about 3 years.
Yellow is my favorite especially when price is considered. That said this is an absolutely wonderful dram and If you can afford it I recommend treating yourself to it this Christmas or Birthday.
Got a bottle couple of weeks back but not opened it. Keeping for an occasion.
Do the Gold Spot review! Then you guys have covered all the bases of Irish whiskey spots! Great video as always.
Thank you both for another good review. Personally I would say Irish whiskey is my all time favorite but I really do like Scotch also & I'm trying to find Bourbons I like I have very few however it's been hard to. 🥃
This chanel has almost bankrupt me. I didnt drink whisky 2 years ago. Have you tried four roses single barrel, bullet, buffalo trace. If you like a bit more spice Eagle rare is nice to. Being irish I like irish whiskey, but those have been the whiskeys I keep going back too.
@@brianoailpin6844 Don't waste a lot of money on bottles of whiskey just to try. If you're going to sample multiple varieties buy it by the glass or a shot size if they have it that's what I do. I'm a dual citizen of the US and Ireland do you live there. I've tried them ones you mentioned I don't like them. So far the only Bourbons I really like Pappy and Rip Van Winkle, Weller 12, some Bookers and I'll even put Angels Envy in that category but I don't like any other MGPs
I'm still looking for this bottle
That bottle of absinthe was incredible, too.
Jameson Single Pot Still was released about a month ago. Most sites are sold out. It reminds me of John’s Lane a bit. A bit higher abv but still definitely tastes like Jameson. It’s 46% so it’s a nice ABV
I think it’s the nicest Jameson on the market. That includes the bow lane and 18 year. It’s very inoffensive and tastes like classic Jameson, just without the ethanol
@@dylanduke1075 I prefer Jameson Crested myself
@crested is crap4LeafWhiskey
Daniel looked like he’s about to give me a quest after dramatically revealing his face after saving me from a chimera
I hear G spot is really good.. haven’t been able to find it though 🤷🏼♂️
gotta try the 9 year gold spot. Its over priced but LOVELY!!!!
I have not yet seen blue in the wild, heck I haven't come across red spot in the wild. My usual Irish Pub only has green and yellow on hand :( But I'm curious about this one now.
Would love to get my hands on one of these!
Did Daniel take a header recently? Doozy scar on his right arm.
The blue spot is a good dram. But when i run out i wont be running out to grab another instantly.
The red spot on the other hand. . . Thats got the divine permanent spot in my cabinet.
I scored batch 2 earlier this year. Definitely worthwhile. Batch 3 should be coming out soon. Don’t know it’ll be in my budget after big Bunnahabhain 12 CS ‘21 & ‘22, and Bruichladdich Port Charlotte SC scores.
Oh, how do you feel about Balcones being sold to the chillfilter empire?
If you guys can, try getting some port wine casks and mature some whiskey or bourbon in them. I've tried with an edition of the famous grouse a decade ago and it was pretty good
Wow...this was released 2 years ago already. Only made it to the US now? I've had 2 bottles and busy on my 3rd. Best of all the Spots by far...
It’s Been here. I got one a few months after it was released but it’s very hard to come by especially at retail. I had one opportunity to buy it and it was more than I wanted to spend but I don’t regret it.
To be fair, I sent that bottle to them in June 2021.
When Rex does his side to side shuffle(dance move that attracted his wife?), I think of the orcs in LOTR.
This is my new favorite Spot as well, I even like it better than the new Gold Spot
Been looking for this since y'all had it on awhile ago. Haven't seen a single bottle at total wine. He said they get 2-3 bottles in and they go by the afternoon.
GOOD MORNING YOU MB'S.... 🥃
First - I haven't done that in forever.
Heyyyyyy, y’all can get blue spot in Tejas??? I can’t get no yellow spot, red spot n def not blue.
On a serious note. How about giving us the lowdown on Gold spot. Daniel; your palate is much more advanced than mine but I get the same notes you state. Cheers from central Virginia!
Been looking for this bottle for almost 2 years... Always a great pour but stores around me never get more than 2 bottles at a time.
Great video
The pot still is out in Ireland but might be a while before it hits the states! Sláinte lads.🇮🇪
Was at Jackson Lake Lodge, top shelf whiskey was Jamesons. Watched the sunset over the Tetons with a Jamesons... in a plastic cup.
Mmmmmm....
Won this in a raffle a year a go. It's good stuff!
Did tasting session with all the spots (before the gold spot was released) and the Blue one was a big disapointment, especially for its price tag. Love the review guys!
Probably second only to the Redbreast PX in terms of the Irish i've had. I get almost a kiwi sort of note on it, never gotten that anywhere else
The blue spot is the best spot!
I found Blue Spot to be like a floral Redbreast 12CS. Both were equally good. I would rate Gold Spot slightly above both.
Won this at my local shop. Can't wait to crack it!
I don't know how far in advance these videos are recorded, but I'm wondering when the acquisition of Balcones by Diageo?
I always get pineapple and black pepper with Blue Spot
Answer the question you brought up but forgot- only cask strength for Blue?
I am not good with explaining all the tasting notes so I can only say I like it!
It might not be that you aren’t good and you might need to really take your time with it and a notebook. I have run into people who really aren’t good at giving notes until they sit down for 30 minutes with a notebook and really write it down and take things slow.
Perks of living In Louisville is everyone is too busy with bourbon to pay attention to Irish. Always get to snag a couple of Midleton limited releases at retail.
Did you guys hear about the JD single malt?
9:32 pm first view
Best of the spots by a good bit for my taste
is it possible to somehow raise the proof of a low proof whisky without screwing up the profile?
Anyone know where we're at in the backlog of whiskey to review? It's been like a year...opening the shipping doors again?
About a week back (or so) Daniel and Rex discussed the backlog. Daniel said that had at least 40 more weeks of reviews to get through in the backlog.
Sadly, I see the review only now. It's sold out everywhere 😢
I have green spot, came off abrasive not a fan. But I need to revisit it and some of the others before I rule them out
Hey they read my comment, and struggled with my name as much as I had hoped.
So... definitely not a cult?
😂 THANK YOU SIR MAY I HAVE ANOTHER!?
Definitely not a cult cult.
First we have Daniel all bandaged for the wound on his arm. Now we hear something about his leg. The Heck kinda shenanigans are going on there?!? Is The Banana trying to take Daniel out of the picture to fully mooch the spot?!
If you let the glass sit for 10 minutes after you finish it, it smells exactly like maple syrup
Grabbed a Gold spot and Blue spot when I was in Colorado last month. Immediately put Blue spot on my top shelf. It was so so good. If people are interesting on pricing, got it for $134.99.
the Blue is a blend of 7-19y whiskies (i dont think they do well disclosing that on the packaging).
easy Daniel! easy!!!!
Wait, there's another one?!?
I'm holding on to three bottles for when you're accepting donations again.
People who send in bottles, do you get anything from it or are you just sending stuff in at your own expense for the hell of it?
Costume...you mean the dress of your people, Daniel.
Cask strength and the proof was... ?
Is Rex dancing like a leprechaun? Lol
Adds to basket
My local liquor stores charge $400+ for this.
Shame on your liquor store ....its been re-released here in Ireland 85 euro a bottle and whiskey is more expensive in Ireland due to taxes compared to the US. Beautiful whiskey all the same ...
902👍
Question... Is "YELLOW SPOT" made by the same people who make green and blue spot... and if so, when are you going to be reviewing it! PS... Rex, your powers of moochiness are weining and you are becoming a true dude... that is all ;D
Yessir. All the Spot whiskeys made at the Midleton Distillery on license by Mitchell & Son, the original whiskey merchants that created it in the early 1900s.
Daniel looks like a bank teller at the First Federal Bank of Mordor.
At least you can buy the costume true to size :)
video seemed a lot shorter than 7 years.
I appreciate this comment
I got a bottle of that a few months ago. Paid way too much for it. I need to give it a try
omg yes
Start selling t shirts with just Rex hand😅😅😅😅 back of the shirt says born to mooch
Daniel looks so cute
They all want cask strength or high ABV and then to enjoy them at their best they all add water, I will never understand this obsession 😂
You had me hooked, until I saw the price. Over €200 currently. That’s too much for my wallet 🤷🏻♂️
Isum
Does anyone else thing that Rex has strangely long forearms? ;)
If you get cask strength, why add the water? Isn’t that basically what’s done with everything else at bottling? 🤷🏻♂️
Where Banana? 🍌
You guys were lost on this you really didn’t know what u were drinking but that’s ok 👍🏻
Funny he doesn't look Druish?
It’s sad that Guinness and Jameson is owned by Diageo. These two brands are Irelands most iconic beverages. But they are owned by a non-Irish company!😞🇮🇪
Diageo do not own Jameson. It is owned by the French conglomerate Perno Ricard. But yes it's sad no longer in Irish ownership but on the other hand the previous owners didn't have the ability to grow the business any further, so there is a positive in there.
@@Derrmo oops my mistake!😬
But yes I prefer Irish owned distilleries.
