I saw them at an Irish whiskey tasting, but it was super crowded & it was sadly one of the distilleries I didn't fight my way over to try. Those glass corks are my nemesis, though, especially when they sit a while after opening & it gets extra sticky & you have to really pry them open.

I haven't tasted Waterford, but I can't imagine the terroir of barley could ever survive the distillation process. Whisky ain't wine ✌️

Greetings from the scottish Highlands I would love to try a finish whisky but can't find it available for delivery unfortunately. I make a very old fashioned whisky that's 100% oats aged in french oak it's from a time when the government taxed malt so my ancestors had to find ways cheap around it I got taught to roast half the oats the other half are raw wish I could send you guys a bottle to try but would be far too expensive, slàinte mhath.

I tried the Green Spot, good nothing great, contemplated the yellow, red etc. then they started skyrocketing in price and I had to let them go. My benchmark Ardbeg Uigeadail price ratio just said no. I keep a Bushmill's Black Bush and maybe a Jameson's Black Barrel on the shelf and that's it for Irish.

Great review! That bottle’s price got hiked up to around $300 in the Dallas area this year. It’s ridiculous. Also, I think it’s a blend of whiskies with seven years being the youngest in the bottle. I think there is some whiskey older than seven years in it too.

You are right, Water does change the whisky and like you said sometimes it's an improvement, sometimes it's the same en even it can kill the flavour. When we taste it we als try it with a few drops of water.

This is the holy grail of Irish Whiskies, at least it has been here in So Cal for quite some time. For the last few years, you were lucky if you could find it, let alone for $150. At the peak of the whisky fervor, this was going for $300 at any place that had a bottle. Thankfully with the slow down, it's pricing has become more reasonable. I can find it for $180 now.

I got this bottle when it came out for $135, and I truly thought it was great, It does take water great. You can keep on adding to it, everyone should add some water and see how it will change Whiskey, totally agree with you guys. A couple of months ago. Try another blue spot in the friend's house, It wasn't as good as the first release, It was really good but....... Cheers gentlemen, thank you for another good one.

I tried the Blue Spot and found it very good, but a 12 year old Cask strength Redbreast for a fraction of the price wins every time. Just seems like a greed move by J Mitchell & Sons, they also withheld said CS Redbreast 12 from the market and rumored to make it NAS to pump up the Blue Spot. (Sigh)

How is it that Bunnahabhain can sell a 12yo Cask Strength bottle for under $100 and this sells for between $270 and $400? Influencers (no disrespect 😁), low-info customers with money to burn, and loyalty to the style I suppose 💚 To me it's probably worth $70-80...maybe ✌️
