It's day 3 of Irish week and I am back baby! be running a giveaway on my Instagram where you will have the chance to win a bottle of Green Spot Irish Now, let's see what cask strength Irish whiskey does to me tonight! Mash Bill Percentages: 100% Malted and Unmalted Barley Proof: 117.4° Age: NAS (~9-10 years) Further Rating: 3/5 There may be good reason most Irish whiskeys are bottles near 92 proof...

Allspice tingles on the tongue while a soft honeysuckle begins to ebb in to push it away. I've admittedly not found too many Elijah Craig barrel proof single barrels that I've liked but this

Label: New England Barrel Company Whiskey Type: Bourbon Mash Bill Percentages: 75% Corn, 21% Rye, 4% Malted Barley Proof: 114.2° Age: 6 years Further identification: This is a single barrel select that I helped

Well, well, Weller Full Proof is back on the menu tonight for the 2nd day of the #12DaysofWhiskeyExchange that @bourbondipity_ coordinated. This pick was put forth by Mike Wick. Excited to see if there are any fun nuances between the two picks while I still have the other fresh on my mind! Company on Label: Buffalo Trace Whiskey Type: Wheated Bourbon Mash Bill Percentages: Undisclosed Buffalo Trace "Wheated Mash Bill" Proof: 114° Age: NAS Further identification: 2021 release from Burlington Wine & Spirits in MA Nose: Heavy caramel; thick, syrupy and rich nose-feel. Sweet candied cherry and a soft, velvety wheat characteristic. Slight candied apple is hidden well by a caramel crusted shell. Pepper and creamy vanilla. Bright oak is there with a slight citrus characteristic nestled deep. Crème brûlée and a light pie crust. Hints of light leather now on deeper pulls; this nose is lovely. After a sip the caramel turns things up a notch and the baking spices begin to bubble up. Soft vanilla ice cream swings back through and keeps everything sternly in check. Oooh - a smoky barbecue grill-char aroma just flashed up as well. Sweet brown sugar. Wave after wave of more caramel. There seems to be infinite amounts of aroma available in this glass even as it nears empty. The white paper, smokiness and oak return powerfully now as well. The empty glass smells of warm cinnamon, Yankee candle spice, burnt sugar, and a slightly chocolatey oak that reminds me of a Guinness Extra Stout. Palate: Oh my. The cherry parfait that just came off that first sip was incredibly soft and enjoyable. I am much less affected by the proof on this 'first sip' as my palate isn't fresh tonight. Strawberry milk made with a little extra Hershey's syrup describes the linger well. Creamy, soft and fruity early on. There's a slight white paper characteristic that seems to be attached to the oaky flavors that are building later in the pour. Much later in the pour I'm finally greeted by the cherry hots that I've come to expect out of most Full Proof picks. The evolution of this glass is perfect, with softer notes leading the charge and getting you ready for the bigger flavors to crescendo. This is definitely one that airs on the side of easy-sipping and therefore lacks a little bit of wow factor, but the flavors that are present are really delicious. My last sip is touched with slight molasses, pear skins, creamy caramel and that awesome crème brûlée linger. Rating: 4/5 Whew, this one really drank well. I'd probably give a slight nod to this pick over last night's if I had to choose. I thankfully have a bottle of this pick myself that I now get to look forward to opening at some point! I'll be saving my other 1oz of this to also try on a fresh palate if I can and may update the review at that time as needed.

I gave away my last 3 Taylor Single Barrels and unfortunately haven't found another since then. Taylor Single Barrel Company on Label: Old Fashioned Copper (Buffalo Trace / Sazerac) Whiskey Type: Bourbon Taylor Single Barrel Review Nose: Sweet candy nose. Cherry forward with candied apple behind it. A bit more malt forward than I remember. Slight pine note on a deep inhale that showed up sharply. Taylor Single Barrel > Four Roses OBSQ Boy, these were quite different releases...

Here are the results of a 16 Irish Whiskey blind tasting bracket (all of these were poured ahead of time bracket in randomized order is: Green Spot, Redbreast 21, Tyrconnell 10 Year Madeira Cask, Teeling Single quite subjective, so let me know if you have done your own blind matchups of some of your favorite Irish

Without fail though, a Redbreast release has always dominated my yearly Irish whiskey bracket. Company on Label: Pernod Ricard (Distilled at Midleton Distillery) Whiskey Type: Single Pot Still Irish Deep vanilla bean sweetness carries much more heft than your typical 80-90 proof Irish whiskey. The mouthfeel is thick, oily and viscous - a staple of a good Irish whiskey in my mind. Overall this is an exceptional Irish whiskey bottled at its peak performance.

The two favorite Irish whiskeys selected from St Patrick's Day 2021. Red Spot Single Pot Still Company on Label: Midleton Distillery Whiskey Type: Irish Whiskey finished identification: 2020 purchase Redbreast Lustau Edition Company on Label: Pernod Ricard Whiskey Type: Irish Whiskey finished in Oloroso Sherry casks Mash Bill Percentages: Undisclosed malted and un-malted barley Both were exceptional Irish whiskeys.

It is one of the two single barrel releases I was able to secure for myself. Were you able to get one of these single barrel releases? I hear they went quick... Super rich and malty. Herbal with loads of cooking spices. Boozy coffee (think Irish), cinnamon, creamy cacao and velvety mascarpone whipped cream. The empty glass smells of salted caramel, dark earth, and heavy charred oak.
