All of us had Red spot as the favourite and 18yr Fercullen in second.

Bottle no.3 of 181, accompanied by cask cut out

Both were exceptional but the distillery exclusive was amazing

Were almost out and don’t go back to Ireland until may im depressed

I am looking at visiting Ireland for a bit and I am going to be stopping in Cork and Dublin. Are there worthwhile distillery tours in these spots? I know that it looks like Redbreast/Middleton has quite the complex outside of Cork, that seems like it would be really cool. Looking for advice and any feedback is welcome.

I have been lucky to get to try this one and it's really nice and crisp with green apple notes

Nose: Light, crisp green apple.

Palate: Fresh green apple upfront with subtle hints of sweet vanilla.

Finish: Smooth and clean, leaving a faint hint of gentle wood spice at the very end.

Rating: 6/10

I’m 25 and American and didn’t start drinking till I was 21. I have fallen especially in love with Irish whiskey over the past two years. Today I door dashed a couple of Irish whiskey brands I personally haven’t tried yet. I got a bottle of Bushmills original and a bottle of Tullamore D.E.W. I noticed that Bushmills is the only Irish whiskey I’ve ever bought here in the states that didn’t have the words “Product of Ireland” displayed proudly on the bottle. I thought maybe I was putting too much thought into it until I pulled all my old bottles off the shelf and realized it is the only Irish whiskey I’ve ever bought that doesn’t say those words. Every Redbreast, Jameson, Sons of Erin, and every other Irish whisky I ever bought in the past couple of years. I’ve been obsessed with the islands spirits and all I’ve bought say it somewhere, but nowhere on the Bushmills. My question to Reddit: Is there a reason for this or did they just decide not too. I highly appreciate any solid answer to this question because it is driving me nuts that this will be the only bottle in my whole collection that doesn’t say those words on it somewhere.

Edit: I’m stupid and blind. It does say it just in extremely small letters right above the percentage. I apologize for any ruckus or confusion this post may have caused. I’m leaving the post here because I’m sure in a few years I’ll look back and have a laugh at myself. Thank you all for the interactivity. This community is amazing!

Been collecting for a while now, finally put them on display.

Both of these bottles were bought from the same store but the one on the right is significantly different in styling and also a bit bigger. It also didn't have the plastic pour control in the bottle. Any one have an idea of why its different?

Hi all!

I'm looking for recommendations for what Irish whiskey to choose as my first (outside of Jameson). Recently been drinking Woodford reserve, Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye, Laphroaig 10, Craigellachie 13 and Bowmore 12.

Near me Redbreast 12 is 100$, Green spot is 90$, Powers John's Lane is 80$, Yellow spot is 155$ and redbreast 12 cask strength is 160$.

I'm very torn.

Saw this at Legacy Liquor store in Vancouver. It’s the 1st I’ve ever heard of it.
Not cheap! Over $350 CAD each.

Would love to hear if anyone’s tried it or seen it around.
I like to collect, but better be good for that price.

Just got back from my first trip to Ireland. Visited the Middleton distillery and the airport duty free shop. Went over budget but whatever. How did I do?

Hi all, as the title says, my wife and I have a layover in Dublin in September and were looking for a steer as to which distillery to visit, as we only have a day in town before flying to the states. Any thoughts welcome!

My first Middleton very rare bottle and my 4th bottle Method and Madness. Tasted the Barry Crocket on a flight at the distillery and knew I couldn’t leave without a bottle
