Great head to head. I have only had the Redbreast 12 year and love it. Cheers!
I'm happy to hear about this. I can get the RB CS with relative ease for $65 (have it) but haven't seen a Blue Spot since 2020 for msrp. I can buy one for $200 and that's a NO WAY from be dawg.
I'm still curious to try it but you've cut my FOMO off at the knees. THANK YOU for that.
Nice Review! Will open the Red Breast 12 CS 2021 this week, knowing I need to get it to the shoulder. Still have an older B1/B17 kicking around as well.
The old fruitiness is not to be expected but it’s really good if you don’t expect the liquid to be like the older ones you’ve had.
Redbreast in general seems to do well in head to heads with Spots.
Did the exact same comparison blindly last Saturday. For me, there was nothing to separate the two whiskeys. They were both neck pours, so I guess I'll have to repeat once the whiskeys hit their sweet spot. Cheers Rob. And enjoy your March break 🥃🇨🇦
Thanks buddy. Interesting results. Both solid. Great to have on the bar.
Rob good review ,good whisky ))) like !
Thanks cheers
Love this H2H and can’t wait to open the blue!
Cheers buddy
I have found with the RB12CS, that right after pouring, add half a tsp on water, let it sit for at least 15 minutes, and then the tropical fruits come alive. The batch quality of this one, in my experience, is right up there with the best before it.
Great h2h , two of my favorites. love the Spot whiskeys green and yellow so far but sadly missed the opportunity to buy this while it was jn stock at lcbo and redbreast 12 is my go to but have not yet been able to find the cask strength , love the 15 and lustau as well . In my opinion the reason these will always compare well to each other is because the base spirit both comes from the Midleton Distillery so there will always be some small subtle similarities between the two brands
Ya very possible. Cheers.
got both this week in BC, RB12CS for $100 online from AB and blue spot for $230 on the secondary market. Resell price for the blue spot is way too high here, $300 average lol
Rob, great H2H. I've got the B2/19 of the RB CS at 55.8% ABV and 2020 Blue Spot at 58.7% ABV. Both are excellent but I'm leaning more to the Blue Spot. Will do a blind and throw in the latest RB PX at 46%. CHEERS!
Cheers buddy
Great review , considered opinions from a top bloke 🥃👍
Thanks Allan. Cheers.
Blue Spot is quite good, and would be a buy at
I just did these two blind the other night. Pretty close to the same conclusion. RB had a touch more oak and BS was a touch brighter and fruitier but I graded them the same. Very tough to blind these two, so similar.
I was surprised it was as close as it was. Wasn’t as close off the hop.
Cheers Rob. Great vs. I believe BS was $119.00 in BC and I sadly passed. If it ever returns it will be a purchase. Does LCBO do bottle limits like here?
Ya they went from unlimited to one per customer. There’s no consistency.
@@WhiskyInThe6 LCBelow expectations
Man you are lucky, I was unable to get a Blue spot, would have been nice if the lcbo put a limit.
Ya I’m just lucky my buddy Paolo is on the ball.
21 year old Madeira in the Blue Spot? Wow. I have the 2020 Blue Spot and its right up there with the older style RB12. Both are instant buys at retail.
Yes. I totally agree.
I have a bottle of RB CS waiting for me in N.Ireland, and I SO wanted to get my hands on a bottle of Blue Spot. The LCBO's distribution really shafted the eastern part of the province. I was loaded for bear! I just sat and watched the numbers go down and down and down in the GTA and down around Hamilton. :(. I did write to complain. Ridiculous. Ah well, next year, eh?
Did they respond to your email?
@@WhiskyInThe6 Yes, an apologetic kind of e-mail, where they said that they were grateful for the feedback as they figure out how to roll out limited numbers of bottles. :(
Blue Spot is really hard to find in the US so if you do find a bottle expect to pay USD130 - 150. Redbreast CS is likely to cost $80 - 90.
Did someone else pour those for you? The "Rob Pour" no longer exists? lol
Lol
Personally, I give the edge to BS. But RB is a far better value. Love both!
both are great Drams. Out f curiosity, how much is a bottle of Blue spot selling for now if it is even possible to get a bottle?
Depends where. Secondary is over $300 cad.
Ouch
Value wins out over FOMO.
RB12 is on the "collect" list with Laph10 CS. I don't really need every batch but as long as Blue spot prices are crazy and RB12 is well under $100US I'm going to always keep 1 or 2 in reserve. Blue spot is not something I'm over paying for if I ever see one again.
The RB bottle goes down very slowly so I concur that it gets better over time, fruitier and more complex.
I’m just started out with whiskey so I’m trying to find something very easy to drink and has a decent amount of sweetness. I’m deciding between Redbreast 12 and Old Forrester 1910 do you have any advice Thank you
I’d lean toward Irish than Bourbon. Try the Redbreast first.
@@WhiskyInThe6 I appreciate the help. Thank You.
You should try our Lasserre Cognac
Where is it available?
Sounds like LCBO debacle still resulted in one person being able to get 4 bottles. In Alberta it is nowhere to be seen and if it was here it would be 1 per household. I do have a Yellow Spot though. You should do a showdown between that and regular Redbreast 12. Cheers.
46% vs 40% though
@@WhiskyInThe6 fair enough but I think Redbreast 12 can still go up against Yellow Spot even at 40%.
Yellow spot blows regular RB 12 outta the water
@@marksaliba4194 mark have you had JJ Corry The Gael? I put it higher than RB 12 too.....
@@Watchman999 I'm afraid I've not come across this whisky locally. I'll keep it in mind, however. Cheers 🥃
Thx for this comparison. I can get the RB12 CS for $85 in NJ but all retailers who have the blue spot are asking $200. That's nuts. Now I don't feel like I'm missing out anymore!!
$200 is too much.
