Over the weekend while in Ky. I purchased a bottle of Singleton 12yr. SMS and A Gordon and Mcphail Rosebank 19yr. SMS. The Singleton was 10.00 less than in Ohio and the Rosebank was the last one in stock!

Red Breast 12 Cask Strength

The two best current offerings I tried in KY were that and Nikka From the Barrel.

You weren't alone on the RB Cask Robert. Between Jimmy's and mine about a bottle of it was inhaled on Friday night. Not bad for a bunch of folks from Straight Bourbon at Bourbon Sampler weekend .

The more I think of it, the more I see connections between good Irish and bourbon and rye. Sorry I missed out on that, but I was beguiled by your superb offerings of vintage bourbon, Thad, especially the Weller SR 90 on the Gazebo table (S-W of course).

Yeah, I'm thinking of hoarding some. Was this a one off release?

It was announced as a permanent release and part of Irish Distillers/Pernod Ricard's increased marketing of single pot still whiskeys started back in 2010 per the Shanken release on it. It was first available here in January and is pretty scarce now. I'd guess it to be an annual release.

The bourbon that reminds me the most of a standard Irish is the current Jim Beam Black label. Certainly no oily pot still component but its lightness, fruits and dough tastes are what I find similar.
