[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 576395, member: 1365"] I said I would and I did… Tonight's Special Event: Tasting...a Trio of Exceptional Irish Whiskeys. [LIST=1] [*]Teeling Small Batch ($40) [*]Writer's Tears Copper Pot ($45) [*]Redbreast 12 year old - Single Pot Still ($65) [/LIST] Results…no picky foo foo tasting stuff. But… Winner Redbreast 12 yo Rich and very very smooth. #1 Tied Writers Tears Not as smooth. Significant flavor. Smooth #3 Teeling Sweeter, lovely of flavor. Smooth #2 So the Redbreast was very obviously smoother with a pronounced and lovely flavor…a clear step up. The other two were fantastic, not quite as smooth but very excellent all around. Note: so far as I know…generally Irish Whisky is known for being aged in oak bourbon barrels then lastly aged in sherry barrels. The Teeling departs from this by using Caribbean Rum barrels. The Redbreast 12 has 10 years in oak and 2 years in classic Spanish Sherry barrels. So is it worth the extra? State stores set liquor prices in our state so the orice is the same everywhere. Redbreast is $65 and the other two are $45. For an extra $20…I’d go for the Redbreast. But I’s want the other two around…for company. LOL. PS: my wife liked the Teeling best…more significant flavor, a bit sweeter in character. Good for her. [/QUOTE]
