I just left a store that had the blue spot, $250 - not sure if that’s reasonable

Well it is limited, but MSRP for Blue Spot is $100

Finally tracked down some B519s and started seeing the A121 popping up around here - @Klobberer good call on redbreast cask, definitely a solid pour

Had the privilege of trying some Willett 6 year bourbon after a good session of poker last night. From barrel #2800 ("If You Willett There's a Way"). Happy hour was $5 for a half-ounce which seemed like stealing given these bottles seem to be pretty much unobtainable. Would highly recommend the 6-year if you can find it!

That's way marked up based on scarcity.

Without Covid I am in Dublin a few times a year so bringing irish back is pretty easy but obviously haven't been over in a while.

Got some Irish. Everyone else was doing it. OF100 is my favorite for mixed drinks.

 

[kmccormick100]

Side by side of batch 13, 14 and 15, so far 15 is winning. None of these were found at msrp anymore, but I’m happy if I can find em under $125 now lol.

Damn good!

That Slaine is crushable. It's Brown Foreman's first foray into Irish whiskey and BF knows whiskey.

If your booze is state control retail is just retail, that doesn't mean you can actually find it.

I'd consider driving up to PA for a bottle provided it wasn't too long of a hike, it wouldn't be the first time.

You can check their website for availability. You can search by county.

the VA ABC system and what's in stock where is so difficult to work with, especially around hard to find spirits that someone made https://whiskydb.org/search for finding things.

We did a little tasting last night in my shop. Boy that Stagg packs a kick I wasn’t expecting, I’m definitely a lower proof type of guy I’m learning.

Jealous of that Redwood Empire Haystack Needle...

Gonna try some Irish whiskey with St. Patrick's day coming up

There is no Blue Spot anywhere in my state. That said I have the following available:

Green Spot $69.95
Green Spot Chateau Montelena $99.95
Green Spot Chateau Leoville $149.95
Yellow Spot $119.95

Should I grab me some spots?!

The Chateau Montelena is one of my favorites. Incredibly smooth.

If you can find a Redbreast 12 Cask Strength, I'd suggest that instead.

Redbreast 12 Cask Strength is incredible. It’s everything that I’ve always wished an Irish could be.

Fanfuckingtastic!

So balanced and a good bite of proof on the finish. Also, the nose is amazing.

Redbreast 12 Cask and Bluespot it is.....I needed a new challenge!

 

[Big Jilm]

Is $87.50 a good price for Redbreast 12 Cask if I am ordering online? -- Looks like $91.95 is MSRP??

Which batch should I be looking for?

I paid $80 plus tax. I say it’s worth it. Not sure about batches.

Pricing for the 12CS is wide depending on the state. It seems Cali had the best pricing for Redbreasts from what I remember. $90 is closer to the top end imo, but not horrible. It's a great whisky, that's for sure. Likely the best under $100 Irish I ever had.

Any batch is fine. They are pretty consistent.

Had a glass of Four Roses Limited Edition 2020 courtesy of @kmccormick100 at his game today. It's like a whole new world.
