Wedelstaedt Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, I thought I would start a 2025 Irish whisky topic. In my glass, Redbreast CS. Yummy. My Whisky Mentor described this whisky as elegant. A perfect description for certain. I will add another adjective, delicate. It is light on the palate, but has so much tongue coating flavor. It defies all of the conventional whisky rules. Yep, I’m a fan. Ms. Wedel and I are watching The Australian GP. The first race on the calendar, back where it belongs. An early Happy St. Patrick’s Day, fellow SB’rs. Slainte 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepler Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I've made my St. Patrick's Day pour selections. I decided to go "full import" lol. The Jameson SPS 5 Cask release was a duty free travel exclusive and the Red Head was something our own @smokinjoe recommended on here before. Sainte! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richnimrod Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I'll be cracking the seal on yet another bottle from the "Old Sod"... Bushmill's. ...The favored pour of my long-departed Grandpa John; my Mom's Dad. Better known to his buddies as "Big Red Johnnie" Harbourne. He wasn't much of a drinker most of the time; but, when he did it was always Bushmill's. The mainstay of the reputed 'longest-continuously-operating-distillery' on the planet. ...Making whisky at the same site near the Northern tip of "The Emerald Isle" since 1608, apparently. Slainte'! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the finest whiskeys of any type I've ever tasted was a 31 year old Bushmill's bottled by an independent bottler. Some of those can be truly amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) Today I cracked open the Writer's Tears Red Head to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. It's matured in Oloroso Sherry casks and I must say it tastes fantastic. The mouthfeel is extremely velvety. Shout-out to @smokinjoe for the recommendation, ... it's a good one Joe Edited March 18 by Kepler 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
