Whiskey Review - Yellow Spot 12 Year Old Irish Whiskey with Redbreast 12 Comparison

[@hakonandreasolaussen1949]

Please tell me they have one named "G Spot" as well. It might be hard to find though

[@bryanlushbough659]

Håkon Andreas Olaussen ahahahahaha

[@kurtmiller1689]

You win the Internet today. Well done.

[@bavomaes]

HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH

[@DogWalksMe]

They do have it, but you'll never find it.

[@bradwebb4925]

It’s mythical. Stories about it have been passed down through history, yet none have ever actually found it. Some say it doesn’t exist.

[@ericschwab409]

“Give an Irishman lager for a month, and he’s a dead man. An Irishman is lined with copper, and the beer corrodes it. But whiskey polishes the copper and is the saving of him.” Mark Twain

[@chrisdeterman3247]

I think Rex just names whiskeys so that he can drink more while comparing it to the original.

[@dillonsrt]

I've been watching your videos for maybe two weeks and you have given me a new appreciation for whiskey. I've joined the tribe. And started my collection with glenfiddich 14, Johnnie walker black label and a bottle of Macallan sherry oak 18. Thank you for educating me and providing us all with awesome content

[@WhiskeyVault]

Grateful that you're here!

[@rmac52]

You guys are awesome! I found this channel about a month ago. I have been working my way through all your videos. My whisky shelf is back up to over 15 bottles. My soul thanks you while my wallet curses you!

[@jevanj1]

Boys, Expat in Japan. Been a novice whisky drinker forever, but now stepping up my game. Thanks! Formed a new whisky club in my neighborhood inspired by you - only 5 members now, but 3 are policemen. We started with 5 different Japanese whiskies you talked about. Now on to 5 good single malt scotches. Next to cheaper blends. Once a week ain't nearly enough, but good yet enough.

[@chrisoffutt8968]

I think the highlight of this video was you two fighting over the Talisker 10 like it's unicorn tears when it's generally available at retailers with decent selections instead of being impossible to find. That should really tell a lot of viewers about the state of whisky. You can either travel to the ends of the earth and max out your cards on the secondary chasing the new sweet hotness or find something you enjoy that's readily available and perfectly enjoyable.

[@nut1414]

This is one of my favorite whiskeys. Love everything about it. It’s my go to on St.Patricks Day and was also my drink for my wedding.

[@JonGardner]

When considering what to get for my first Irish, these two are are at the top of my list.

[@KphexTwin00]

Jon Gardner good choices I got a bottle of green spot last week. Absolutely delicious.

[@chrisoffutt8968]

Redbreast 12 is easier to find and a bit cheaper than the Yellow Spot. The main difference is that while both have sherry and ex-bourbon cask matured spirit the Yellow Spot also has the Malaga wine matured casks. Oddly enough, the distillate from both comes from Middleton Distillery which is best known for being the makers of Jameson.

[@StillIt]

Also, awesome to see some more Irish action team!

[@jashayou]

Talisker = our favorite of the distilleries we visited in Scotland! Landed there on a typical rainy day. Fabulous day, fabulous whisky!

[@michealrozar7717]

Hi guys ! Whoa the collection of these whiskeys are the color of my country's flag (Mauritius island) !!! Been watching these episodes since Daniel's advent calendar in 2016, at the time I was looking for how to nose whiskys videos and in the video that I found Daniel was explaining a nosing kit and realized that if this guy is explaining a nosing kit his not scared of sharing and boy have I not been wrong !!! To confirm all that in one of your most recent videos Daniel goes on to tell everyone to own what they are learning here and not to tell the source !!!! If we the tribe are magnificent you guys are unbelievably magnificent !!! Keep up the greatness !!! Cheers

[@ethanjf713]

Yellow Spot is my favorite Irish whiskey. It’s phenomenal.

[@iandyer1551]

I recently noticed peanut for the first time on the back end of JD no7 when poured on the rocks. Whether it was the temperature or the dilution that brought it out for me, I'm not quite sure, but it was definitely there.

[@CastironWhisky]

Talisker 10 does put me in my happy place too! Great video guys!

[@philartonio202]

Thank you guys. I was a confirmed bourbon drinker. but you chalenged my senses to try a blended scotch. tried Great King Street and LOVE IT. Thanks.

[@lemayj1]

I've been to Perla's! Walked in there on a whim when I was there for a wedding. It was great. I'll take oysters in Charleston any day though. Y'all come on over and we'll show you how it's done.

[@pauriclane3249]

Having my first Yellow Spot at the minute. Not a patch on Red Breast 12 year but very nice

[@jimg6171]

If you get a chance to try the Redbreast 12 cask strength give it a shot. It might even replace Green Spot on Daniel's list. Fortunately neither has the essence of ass vapors.

[@karl_alan]

I get a ton of Peanut in some Bourbons, to the extent that I literally refer to my Jim Beam products as liquid peanut butter. Glad I'm not the only one to get it from Beams. There's a bit less in Devil's cut and Knob, but it is definitely still there.

[@derekzuniga9464]

Please review Powers John's Lane!

[@darthpaul1970]

Can you talk about peated Irish whiskeys? I’ve only had Connemara and I loved it. Not even sure if there are others.

[@WhiskeyVault]

That's also the only one I know of right now as well. It's lovely!

[@Ken603b]

Burp? Always say 'Pardon me' in the most sophisticated way you can muster. Skidmark? 'How rude' (see what I did there?) In a World! Well done Rex!

[@pikerize]

I agree with the "nut" flavor in Tennessee Whiskeys. I get more of a walnut flavor, instead of peanut flavor. Especially in Gentleman Jack and the Jack Daniel's Single Barrel.

[@MuNki93]

Please review the nikka Gold and Gold samurai

[@Teedub1605]

If there is one thing that I've learned from the Whisky Tribe it's how to make the most appropriate GIF at the most critical time. I want to thank all you Magnificent Bastards for this acquired skill.

[@WhiskeyVault]

only the most important life skills do we teach

[@chrissavage6464]

$82 for the yellow, $44 for the green in Tulsa area

[@calebsteingruber6906]

So good! "As long as you pour." Daniel, whenever you speak of the "whiskey merchants" way back when, I always think you should be starring in a Netflix time piece drama series as a cutthroat Whiskey Merchant. There you go, "The Whisk(e)y Merchant" starring Daniel Whittington...not bad, and Rex as your always drunk muscle, sometimes unreliable as he can be bribed for time...with whisky. Love Redbreast 12, have yet to try any of the Spots....nothing großer than a stinky burp. Cheers!

[@zezefly6486]

Whiskey Vault BALVENIE 14 yrs caribbean cask NOW It is so good i´m becoming an alcoholic. seriously gentleman you are missing out

[@InvntdXNEWROMAN]

zeze fly, I'm new to whiskey and The Balvenie doublewood 12 is my first scotch that I've fallen for but I've been eyeing the Caribbean cask as my next buy.

[@JasonWhiskyWise]

You'll love it, all those tropical flavours of goodness

[@zezefly6486]

Kyle Gruber jeez go for it tiny problem though, is that from then on you won´t want to drink anything else ever again and with the 80 bucks pricetag it stands in comparison to a cocaine addiction jk

[@HumbleAstronaut]

14 Carribean cask is what got me into scotch. Best believe they have a bottle. I've also had the 30 yr but macallan 25 definitely tops those 2

[@samuelanderson1345]

Currently deployed in Iraq and found your channel and I am a huge fan already and have been binge watch you guys in my free time. After my last deployment I bought a bottle of glenfiddich 21 in Paris and I was hoping you had done a review of it but I couldn’t find one... if you haven already done a review can you please put up a link to it and if not could you please do one!! Thanks!

[@WhiskeyVault]

Thanks for watching! We'll see if we can track one down for you.

[@stuycheney]

Do you know of any peated rye whiskeys?

[@shilohstore6086]

All right I have trouble with brown spot but didn't I hear Daniel say red spot 🤔(shutters)

[@asentimentalman6655]

Oh Danny Boy the pipes the pipes are calling good show Dan

[@Andaer11]

You Magnifcany Bas&&&s Youve started a new tradition with me and my Scotch

[@gilbertgoldsmith1158]

Try oysters with Rock Oyster 18 yr old. Try Raw Oysters with a couple of drops of Kikori Rice Whisky.

[@russellmcdaniel6799]

The History behind these Whiskeys add to the appeal i.m.o. It's like when you visit a city and read about the history or foundation first makes it all the more interesting

[@Kemphis]

Rex saying Daniel's name gives him goosebumps, you heard it here first.

[@KphexTwin00]

Can you review slane irish whiskey? Delicious stuff.

[@KphexTwin00]

ScottStorm1 I'm going for one.

[@nab2420]

I have been watching this channel seeing that bottle of resurgens rye over Daniels shoulder waiting for them to review it and the other american spirit whiskeys. I love their fiddler bourbon and it is a local distillery to me. I live 5 minutes from them. I am very interested in what they think about ASW distillery as a whole. I should just send some bottles and make Rex happy.

[@ciannolan9713]

Yellow Spot, by far my favourite Whiskey of any kind. Blows everything out of the water

[@scottw9267]

Qft

[@JLK7700]

Surprised you did not talk about how long the flavors stay in your mouth. Just spent 10 days in Ireland and I “sampled” both of these fine whiskies more than a few times. I loved both but noticed the flavor of the Redbreast 12 year leaves the tastebuds rather quickly. The Yellow Spot lingers in the mouth much longer. If you have a chance to try the Blue Spot, it last even longer. All great stuff!

[@PaulJenness]

Now Ive got my Yellow Spot I can watch this one!!.. Great Videos Guys

[@daviddaly1483]

Rex channeling the Honest Trailers VO...brilliant!

[@TheMehhhhhhhh]

For sure, taliskers is my jam

[@wadevenerdi1060]

Yellow spot is a top 5 whiskey for me. I said the same thing on my first sip, “oh damn…”

[@SuperScoooty]

Hey guys. So I hear a lot of people in the tribe have been requesting a virginia whiskey called copper fox. Even our good ol friend Agii. So since a lot of us have been requesting this do you think you could do a review on it?

[@WhiskeyVault]

We have it, but i'm not a fan. We may review it, but I'll have to figure out how to be nice

[@SuperScoooty]

Whiskey Vault please rip it a new one. And tell me if you get anything good out of it. I get nasty tree sap. It's not good neat. It's nit good on the rocks. It's not good in Coke. It's just not good. What do you do with whiskey that's not good? Other than toss it. ARDBEG FOR LIFE!

[@jcfernandez9193]

You guys are Awesome, and been watching for a good while. thanks to your channel I have gathered quite a collection and loving every sip. I do own a bottle of Green Spot and no matter how much I keep going back to it, it just taste terrible. And the nose is just as bad. I'm guessing I got a bad bottle because you guys have never given me a bad choice.

[@mikewinn853]

Watching the video and just synchronised burped with Rex, was magical

[@chrisneyrey]

I for one would love to see a whiskey vault episode after Daniel and Rex jog a mile.

[@Kardula]

Been really curious about this one, it's at the local store for $100, but I'm torn between Yellow Spot and RB 12 Cask Strength for $80. I love all the Irishes I've had so far (RB12, GS, Teeling with Rum finish, all the Jamesons) but I'm reluctant to spent $100 on something I might not like too much.

[@matthewwalker654]

Have you guys ever reviewed Powers Johns Lane? I’ve searched and haven’t found one.

[@Matt123Chez]

Hey Daniel and Rex, recently I got to try some Michter's at a whiskey bar in London, possibly the best American whiskey I have tasted and might have to go out and buy a bottle even though it is incredibly expensive in the UK.

[@janrobinson6046]

You should find a little bit of peanut in both the brown spot and the limited edition...

[@jeroenwolfe4232]

What are your feelings on “flavored” whiskies like Jim Beam Apple or Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey?

[@WhiskeyVault]

not a fan personally

[@tgijfriday]

This was freakin hilarious!! 2017: Biscuits vs Cookie 2018: Burls Vs Farts! Rex, I was ASSuming you were going to leave ... something... behind for Daniel.

[@rickyramirez3483]

Hey, guys!I’m Ricky Ramírez from San Juan, Puerto Rico. I drink my whisky on the rocks and now because of you guys I’m starting to enjoy my whisky and bourbon in another fashion. But, I have a good one for you...have you tried whisky on the rocks with a splash of coconut water? (Real water though).If not...please do so! Cheers!

[@pogwee2679]

Peaty whiskey pairings on WB please!!!

[@robotzombie3546]

Referring to the brown spot joke, I always thought the name yellow or green spot was dumb. Red breast is my preferred from Jameson who make the spots

[@rcache4]

So this just happened: I am a newbie to the Vault and binge watching BOTH newer and older episodes. I just watched episode 25 - the first Green Spot. And thought to myself, "Self... I wonder what today's episode will feature???" Guess just what went on my bucket list!?!

[@ECHO102495]

I am a new whiskey drinker and the only whiskey I have found that I like is the Glenfiddich 15 Solera vat reserve. Which sucks because that is a $60 bottle and I'm not rich. I am going to try monkey shoulder soon, but what other bottle should I try if I like fruity notes. I also hate the caramel, chocolate, and smokey note whiskey's. I have finally found a good whiskey channel with life and character. I love ur channel, keep up the great work.

[@GeoffreyBangers]

Nick W Glenmorangie has citrus notes. It's not too spendy. Good entry whiskey. Try it, if you don't like it, pawn it off on friends. Speyburn 10 is another light, fruity whiskey for a pretty low price point.

[@fabianschneider7241]

Fo you know Elements of Islay, could you talk about them, I'm a chemist so I like their appearance and think they are otherwise great too.

[@kylethreewit3446]

I really want to come hang out with you guys. How do we make that happen?

[@WhiskeyVault]

Either attend the school, or sign up for one of the whisky tastings! whiskymarketing.org austinwhiskyvault.com

[@rogo2043]

I'm coincidentally drinking Talisker 10 at the moment, after 10 minutes it smells like bacon - fantastic.

[@bryanbush7139]

should have started a solera with that talisker

[@TheOriginalRaster]

I think Rex should use this idea... Use the "multiple personalities" concept, so you can switch between various modes and we won't flip out. Evil Rex could then come and go, and we could say "no, bring back Nice Rex, I dislike Evil Rex" ... that might work better than Rex week. So I could lobby for sending Evil Rex off the plank at the top of the tower, but for Nicer Rex's sake we could hold off on completely ending Evil Rex ('cause they're all inside one person).

[@dcoux09]

Great review guys - I am also a Daniel and am not a big Dan fan. Speaking of Dan’s, Daniel’s, and Danny’s, you should do a review of Garrison Brothers seeing that you’re also in TX. I haven’t found a bourbon that has characteristics like that one.

[@IceArcher100]

Hi dan

[@scouterryan]

Just did some research i think the same people that make (green,yellow Ect.) owns Red Brest and Jameson but then I could be wrong. I request the one with the guidance of Somm bear to please confirm this. Sláinte!

[@MrLookky]

Hello Daniel and Rex, the most magnificent bastards here, Ever since my girlfriend's brother started collecting whisk(e)ys, Ive been trying out some as well. However, since all he had at that time was Glenlivet and Coal Ila, Ive since then primarily drank the Livet. However, I recently found your channel, making me want to try out some new things. Ive bought a Dalwhinnie Winter's Gold and together with a friend of mine we also started trying some Walkers. Now, after hearing Daniel talk about Dalmore, I decided to buy a 12 year old and oh my - that was different. It made me wonder if I have been really shallow (?) with my choices so far. The Dalmore did make me want to try even more, and Id love to try things that are different from the Livets. Where should I go next? Thank you in advance, Loek (and a shoutout to Stan and Jirry)

[@jenpoplar1067]

How is your stock organized?

[@WhiskeyVault]

very carefully. mostly by region

[@TheBioethicist]

Rex made a white spot thinking about the brown spot joke.

[@ashleybuxo7174]

Love this channel. Most other whiskey reviews on KZbin are from stuffy, pretentious, old guys. You make whiskey videos fun, while still being (somewhat) informative, which is the way it should be. You've inspired me to try more whiskies, instead of defaulting to my usual Jameson. Keep it up. P.S. as a Canadian, I am also disappointed by most of our whiskies :(

[@j.v2681]

I wanted a glencairn glass so badly, but since I live in Brasil, it's really expensive. Eventually I'll buy one, but at the moment, It's just not an option.

[@JL-zq3lm]

Try kilbrin and kilbrin sherry cask.

[@brianboucher4462]

Do you guys have a review of 1792 Small Batch Bourbon? So far its one of my favorite budget whiskey's and this is coming from an almost strictly scotch guy.

[@Ezserai]

I enjoy watching these videos. just curious on how to join the face book group if there is one. and hoping someone can help wanna try a whiskey to drink without mixing but bourbon is really not for me looking for recommendations to try.

[@WhiskeyVault]

Head on over, request access, and answer the questions! facebook.com/groups/WhiskeyTribe/

[@Misfit_Custom]

I believe yall need to bottle a limited run of the Brown Spot "Skid Mark" whiskey and an even more limited run or just a teaser run of the hard to fine "G Spot" Whiskey.

[@XRarehunterX]

So i watched this review and afterwards I rewatched their greenspot video to see what notes were different between the two. I notice that the yellowspot video was almost exactly one year after the greenspot review and I couldn't help but notice what a difference a year makes. For instance i noticed that Rex forgot what what a haircut was and how grey he has gotten. I can only imagine how many years have been taken off his life due to dad jokes.

[@greataxe3]

For those of you that don't know, I went down to the vault and took the level one certification class. What I haven't told anyone yet, was that on my way out of town, I stopped for lunch. While I was eating, I saw someone who looked familiar. Who was it? Why it was Baga, Rex's grandmother! Needless to say I was very excited and probably scared the poor woman when I walked up to her and asked if she was in fact Rex's grandmother. She was very pleasant and understanding. I asked for a story that I could tell to the vault that would embarrass Rex. She said that her best story wasn't about rex, but about his mother. I asked her to please tell me. She said that her daughter was an incredibly strong willed person, and incredibly honest. She was honest to a fault. Whenever she made a promise, she kept it. And nobody knew just how far she would go to keep a promise until she had Rex. When Baga was told that her grandchild was to be named Rex, she of course asked why. Apparently Rex's mother replied, "You remember my first schoolyard boyfriend in the first grade? Well, he really liked dinosaurs and made me promise to name my kid after one." And thus, Rex came into existence. Congrats on naming the distillery guys. I love the artwork. Dave and the Dinosaur Distilling forever.

[@WhiskeyVault]

brilliant

[@gamingmarcus]

Why not put the episode number in the description?

[@svennefett88]

Second time you drink yellow spot at the show and booth times you kill a bottle, sings raining men!! Dejavu!

[@matthewzakz]

anyone know the name of the song they hum when they finish a bottle?

[@WhiskeyVault]

It's raining men

[@matthewzakz]

ah now its so obvious lol thanks man

[@lrubio1]

Love your channel, been binge watching it to expand my knowledge of whiskey, pass that knowledge to hopefully soon to be enthusiasts, and of course add to my personal whiskey collection. Any plans on reviewing Buchanan's whiskey? That was my entry into whiskey, very popular in Latin America. Keep up the great work!

[@knipey123]

In which episode did Rex relate the story of the bar-headed goose?

[@gunkatas01]

So, we call Daniel Dan and tell Rex dad jokes. Agreed?

[@chuck430]

holy hell, just picked up Green Spot at the store and saw the video earlier this morning and now you upload the Yellow Spot if they can take the time to color a spot the barrell then couldnt they just write the number???

[@blond-diver9998]

Mast rating for this bottle is?

[@cya8059]

As a bartender for 10+ years ive seen and tasted 1or2 things in my time... working in places ranging from a rugby pub, old school italian mirror w lined walls, sushi bar, and a prime steakhouse. I usually fall into the role of the "in house wine guy". Ive just recently aquired a position in a not yet open restautant that has a cigar bar and have been using your chanel to brush up on my whiskey info... ive heard u say u smoke cigars can u shed some light on the pairings/ the fun/ recommendations of good cigar smokimg and scotch drinking shananagans.

[@WhiskeyVault]

Love it! I'll see if we can do more.

[@contractkiller325]

Is Yellow Spot worth it, considering I can almost get a bottle of Green Spot and Redbreast 12 for the same price?

[@WhiskeyVault]

not for me. I prefer the Green

[@jamesdellinger6704]

why does DAN like the "essence of the brown spot"?

[@johnhay6380]

i found out about you from the modern rogue.

[@Just_Mike27]

I've watched and enjoyed quite a few of your videos. You guys are a lot of fun to watch but I have a question. Have you ever had a whiskey you don't like? Seems you guys like and have fun with just about every damn whiskey.

[@WhiskeyVault]

Yes, I've had several I really dislike. But we avoid doing videos about them.

[@jbbconsulting]

Yea! Thank you Daniel and Rex for finally putting that poor bottle where it belongs... in the belly. :D

[@danemiller639]

Try midleton very rare or Barry crockett legacy 😁

[@1313ryanchatfield]

liked before i watched. two fantastic whiskeys

[@donla22883]

By Demand we the people want you two formented owls to review SPEYBURN 10!! you can find it at Smith's grocery. It's magic. I think. Let us know.

[@TheHensz28]

The new Blue spot release isn’t out yet here in Ireland , you should review the Red spot. Pretty special whiskey. Also, you guys should get your hands on the powers johns lane which is also a 12 year old , and powers 3 swallows irish whiskey. All by IDL ( Jameson) they aren’t Bonders (blenders) like mitchels or redbreast . Although they are pot still whiskeys 👍🏽👍🏽

[@thatsgoodgb]

Yes! Talisker 10 is so good! I thought it was going to be too much (first peaty whisky) but it turned out AMAZING! On another note.. my brother just informed me that milk + whisky is a thing. Are you guys down to give it a try or you want to bitch out..? Cheers!

[@mikekollross8810]

OK. What’s does “pecunia effundam supra me” mean?

[@chriscontreraz2482]

I was looking forward to this video guys, thanks! I will have to have my wife pick up a spot or red breast when she is in Ireland. Speaking of travel, I will be going to japan in March and wanted to grab something for you guys to try. Is there a whisky or two that you would like to try that I can pick up for you while I am there? I will specifically be going to the Yamazaki distillery but obviously I can pick up a Nikka or others. Let me know and I will include it in a box of korean goodies when I get back to Seoul after my Japan trip.

[@WhiskeyVault]

If you can ever find Nikka from the Barrel, that would be amazing

[@chriscontreraz2482]

Whiskey Vault, too easy.
