Top 5 Beginner Irish Whiskey: Part 3

[@jimreichel1466]

I do enjoy your channel as if offers a different viewpoint. Since I havy only had two Irish Whiskeys I will list those two. I have had the Redbreast 12 year cask strength and the Powers John's Lane, also a 12 year. These are very favorful and very interesting. I enjoyed them both.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Thanks! The Cask Strength and the Powers are both very good choices. I enjoy them very much as well. Cheers!

New to your reviews but the Sagamore PX Sherry finished Rye is one of my favorite pours! Redbreast 21 and Yellow Spot! Cheers!

[@whiskeyisajourney]

I have not had the Sagamore PX sherry yet. I heard it's fantastic. Looking forward to trying it some day. Cheers!

Connemara Peated is the one that got me into Irish Whiskey

[@whiskeyisajourney]

I have yet to have Connemara. I hear good things about it so I might need to give it a try in 2024. Cheers.

[@skyking8420]

The aroma of peat burning is something I carry home after every trip to Ireland and the taste in the whiskey brings it back, I also believe it is in a reasonable price range, Go Raibh Maith Agat :)@@whiskeyisajourney

[@graveshotx]

Another great list! Got a few that I'll have to add to my radar.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Thanks Anthony. Be advised and warned...they are expensive. Too expensive! When some of these are gone I don't think I will replace them due to price. Cheers.

[@graveshotx]

@@whiskeyisajourney Thanks for the heads up!

[@Robert.Sheard]

Of these, I've only had the Blackpitts (love it).

[@whiskeyisajourney]

I think the Blackpitts is very underrated and not talked about enough. It is good stuff!

[@gregflores5839]

Good info ! Gona pick up some Irish whiskey. 👍

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Nice! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Cheers!

[@nickp5511]

Now I’m looking for the Dumvilles PX:)

[@whiskeyisajourney]

I think they have an older 12 year as well.

[@glenngardin3561]

Nice video, Peter! Used to think Redbreast 12 was the bees knees, but after buying a lot of other Irish Whiskeys..... it's not that great, at least not at this point in my journey. (see what I did there!) Jameson's Black Barrell, Bushmills Black Bush, Sexton, Writers Tears Copper Pot, are all at least as good, and cheaper, at least here in Ontario, Canada. But to be fair, I have not tried any of these, as most are not available, or are out of my price range. Keep up the great info!

[@whiskeyisajourney]

I see what you did. 😜 Everyone is on their own journey. Cheers and thank you.

[@kevinnordby4808]

Nice flight Peter! I was hoping the Redbreast 15 would show up, that’s probably my favorite Irish whiskey, but now you have me curious about the Red Spot 15.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Red Spot is much different from the Redbreast 15. Having them side by side the Redbreast 15 is much sweeter. Two completely different whiskeys, but in my opinion worth a try if you never had it. DO NOT OVERPAY. I did and regret it.

[@Robbie7441]

Its unfortunate you don't like the redbreast 25 , i am very surprised, but i really enjoyed the 3 irish whiskey flights. 👍🏻

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Redbreast 25? Did you mean the 27?

[@Robbie7441]

@@whiskeyisajourney yes sorry the 27

[@mary-bridgetfasciano9970]

If you bought that Redbreast at Costco you could bring it back!!!! 😂 $500 for something you hate really sucks!!!

[@lyacoubian]

I've returned two bottles to Total Wine. One was leaking and the other tasted like turned milk. Got store credit for both.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Even if I could do that I wouldn't. There is nothing wrong with the bottle. It's just not my jam. I am curious if other batches taste different, but I'm not willing to pay to find out. They are "enriched" with ruby port casks so I am amazed I don't like it. Oh well.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

I would not hesitate to return "bad bottles", but not bottles I did not like.

[@glenngardin3561]

@@whiskeyisajourney Thanks for being honest!

[@dane5896]

When the red spot came out, I bought it for around $115/$120. I wouldn't buy it at today's price.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Once my bottle is gone I will not be replacing it. Way too much money.

[@petevj]

You can't review Two Stacks without Dram In A Can 🤣

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Are you referring to whiskey in a can out of a vending machine? If so I think I saw something like that. Funny!

[@petevj]

@@whiskeyisajourney they sell Two Stacks in 4 packs (or used to). We were never quite sure who the target audience was.

[@lyacoubian]

ABSOLUTELY wonderful selection Peter. I already have 4 out of the six bottles and the only change I would make is with the 6th one. I would much rather have a 21 year old Knappogue Castle matured exclusively in ex bourbon casks. Beautiful whiskey..!!! 🥃

[@whiskeyisajourney]

The Knappogue Castle 16 that I have is fantastic and I can only imagine how good the 21 would be. You just put me on the hunt. Cheers!
