Beginner Irish Whiskey at Its ABSOLUTE BEST? We Think So! | Wildcard Wednesday

[@eviltrain24]

Green Spot is one of a handful of 40% whiskey's that I think is absolutely worth the price of entry. I get a pina colada notes on the palette. pineapple, coconut, oranges and a mild coconut creaminess without being treacly/cloyingly sweet. A fun, easy to drink, somewhat unique flavor profile that's an easy first pour for people new to irish whiskey or just whiskey in general. That's how I categorize it. and over in CA. it's $53 bucks. This one definitely gets a place on my shelf.

[@stuffandwhiskey]

So very well said and we couldn’t agree more!

[@whiskeyisajourney]

This is the only bottle in my collection that I've replaced a few times. Well worth it. Delicate is a good word for it.

[@dennis85573]

Now I'll drink to that!

[@stuffandwhiskey]

And as easy as it sips, it’s one we’ll all be replacing fairly often (at least relative to everything else).

[@dawson0000]

This is my wife's #1 favorite whiskey.

[@stuffandwhiskey]

We can definitely see this being a favorite for a lot of folks!

[@jeffreyjennings1640]

LOL...the first 15 seconds are getting funnier and funnier. Your content is tops! And Josh - Peach preserves in orange marmalade sounds delish! Based on your description at around the 4 minute mark I'm guessing you're having vodka with caramel (for coloring) mixed with DelMonte fruit cocktail juice 🤣. Uh-oh...just found out we may be in for a mollywop (sp?) and...AND...I see a Stuff & Whiskey in the Kitchen series of videos. This means your going to have to re-think/re-build that new studio! BTW, now that I'm getting to the end, here's something to try - cherry smoked salmon. Made it, loved it. And roasted carrots - if you cook carrots at a high enough temperature for the right time their natural sugars will soften and caramelize them. Oh, if you're doing potatoes don't forget the bacon component. (I tend to write comments as I watch...)

[@stuffandwhiskey]

Cherry smoked salmon!? Sign us up!

[@jeffreyjennings1640]

@@stuffandwhiskey You're in!

[@dennis85573]

You can't go wrong with Irish whiskeys.

[@brentross9233]

Both bottles of Green Spot I've had, went really flat after the first couple of pours. The first 2 ounces were great, but not the rest of the bottle. Could be the 40% ABV

[@stuffandwhiskey]

That’s fair. This was the last two ounces of the bottle and ours stayed pretty great all the way through, but definitely never drank above its proof point.

[@tsubakichan]

I just picked up my first bottle for $50! They've been fluctuating in price here in NorCal. As far as Irishes, only had Jameson (eh) and Redbreast 12 (both reg and cask strength - yum!). Looking forward to cracking this open!

[@bullseye0112]

I drank Wild Turkey 101 out of a wine glass last night and the flavors were totally different, heightened even. I thought what if you two did a video on trying the same whiskey in different vessels (glasses😂). Green Spot would be more perfect cask strength. It is actually my favorite Irish whiskey although Red Breast Cask strength may beat it out when I get a chance to try it. There is a lot of flavor for me, coconut comes through and apple

[@stuffandwhiskey]

Coconut seems to be a prevalent note on this one, which highlights how little we eat coconut (read: never). Looks like we’ve got some homework to do. And great point on glassware. The glencairn is about as standardized as a tasting glass gets but it’s definitely fun to play with other glassware from time to time.

[@bullseye0112]

@@stuffandwhiskey Maybe try a coconut water to ease into coconut 😂👌 I think the Glencairn help give more flavor or complexity to the lower proof whiskeys to magnify the pallette. I've actually switched to my Brandy glasses for at 90% of my whiskey pours. The wider glassware seems to let the whiskey breathe more and let's the flavor and nose really shine on its own without compression. I didn't get coconut the first time I drank Green Spot, but loved it right away. Flavor is so good and rich.

[@CelebrateWhiskey]

Green Spot is delicious. All the Spots are great. Glad you enjoyed this one.

[@TheReal_DeanD]

Asparagus with Salmon gets my vote. Just season well and cook with butter. Keep an eye on it before it gets too soggy.

[@ernestpeacock1943]

Brussel sprouts is a great replacement for broccoli. Goes great with salmon! Keep up the great content.

[@robertinco4472]

Green Spot is SOLID!!!!!!!!

[@ericmcdaniel2719]

Have you guys tried the 2 finished green spots? If not, I think you guys will be shocked at the positive change on those.

[@stuffandwhiskey]

We have both the finished Green Spots in our pool. Can’t wait til they pop up!

[@swopeti]

You should try yellow spot its like whisky wine so tasty

[@stuffandwhiskey]

It’s in the pool and probably our favorite of the entire Spot lineup. Can’t wait til it pops up!

[@877-MASH-NOW]

WHISKEY CHEERS 😎

[@msutton01]

Gotta try it!

[@ericamiles2641]

You guys crack me up! Green spot is good.

[@raymonddonahue7282]

Gotta try it.

[@michaelhoffer9172]

I have never tried the Green Spot, but this is going to be one of my next purchases. I love salmon and I eat it quite often, so if this pairs well with salmon, even better.

[@stuffandwhiskey]

As long as you go in expecting 40% ABV Irish whiskey, it's hard to be disappointed by this one we feel. Cheers and let us know how it is!

[@RussD71]

As someone that has been exploring more Irish, it is nice to see some thoughts on this from a blind format. Also what I have taken from this...I need to start trying to work the word "Moly-Whopped" into more of my daily communications ;) Hope you both have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Cheers :)

[@terrencemcdermott5840]

“Stuff and Whiskey gonna give it to ya!” I love asparagus, but it can be a palate killer. I think I would go with a seasoned white fish. I haven’t had the normal green spot just their two wine cask finishes, which I think the Montelena finished one is tremendous, lending a lot of red fruit.

Happy Thanksgiving!

[@stuffandwhiskey]

Hope you had a great one Debby!

[@marceljohnson2215]

Haven’t bought a bottle yet but I swear by redbreast 12 and 15, more so 15. Going to convince myself to buy the 21 at some

[@stuffandwhiskey]

Redbreast is definitely great too. Seems like we get more fruit on the Spot whiskeys and more malt on Redbreast, with both being delicious in their own ways.

[@billj5645]

For Wednesday you're into vintage Seiko style? Does it take you back to the 1970s?

[@Abby_Normal_1969]

I read once that no word in the English language rhymes with orange. Josh proved them wrong. Porange is the cross between peach and 🍊...and it sounds terrible. But kudos for proving the English pundits wrong.

[@stuffandwhiskey]

😂😂

[@whiskycentral]

Or-each for days! Haha 😂

[@theukyankee]

I'm lucky because we can get this in London for £35-40.

[@stuffandwhiskey]

Such a great bottle and at a solid price no less!

[@tomhalstead8935]

Asparagus! ROAST asparagus!

[@andrew_dudinetz7608]

I am not a huge fan of green spot. I like redbreast so much more

[@stuffandwhiskey]

That’s fair. They are pretty different profiles to be sure.

[@andrew_dudinetz7608]

@@stuffandwhiskey I revisited my bottle of green spot. Haven’t touched it in a couple months. It’s definitely better than I remember. I think originally I was let down by the subtlety that you guys pointed out
