AnCnoc 12 is a damn good pour especially for the price, at least here, the peated offerings I've tried have been enjoyable but at the price they typically sell for it would be nice to see an age statement.

kevinbrink Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 This one is really heavy on the earthy end of the spectrum with a bit of sulfur, having poured it with some friends on Friday I can confirm it is not everyone's bag by a long shot but a couple of us enjoyed it just fine.

jvd99 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 You all got me curious about the Redbreast CS so I shot downyown and picked up a trio that’s not available locally. I’ll be cracking the RB tonight 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guss West Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I had to chase down the RB12 CS recently myself. My favorite LLS was sold out (a good sign), so I ended up getting two bottles at State Line in MD. Easily my favorite expression of RB that I've tried. Always a winner, now at cask strength!

Vosgar Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Opened up an 11yr Edradour cask strength from Signatory tonight. More earthy than I was expecting since it was aged in a Sauternes hogshead, but it's darn good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvd99 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 OK, the Redbreast CS is really freakin good! I've gone deep into bourbon and single malts, but just never really tried Irish whisky except for copious amounts of chilled Jamison shots back in the day. I've got to say, you guys have good taste and were spot on with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beasled Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Cracked this tonight. It's a little mellow for my liking but not unpleasantly so. It's not exactly going to be a chore to get rid of or anything.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinbrink Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Have to say I'm glad Ralfy reviewed this one as I would have otherwise just continued passing it off as Total Wine Private Label garbage. The PX is not over the top and it has a big hit of Pine that is really doing it for me, this one is a keeper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I'll be able to beat a 21 year Xtra Old Particular, sadly long gone... which was an absolute beast of a whisky... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reeko Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I'm enjoying some redbreast 12 year. This is the first time I've had it. It's good, but not as good as the cask strength. The flavor is a bit muted compared to its higher proof brother. Still very good though. If I had this before trying the cask strength, I would think it's the bees knees.
