Sexton is legit one of my favorite whiskeys. I found it at a Target one day and fell in love from the first sip. Shortbread up front with some sour fruit in the middle and a deep dark chocolate finish that lasts for days. Delicious!
Irish tribe member here, ashamed to say I haven't had most of theses as a poor student, but glad to hear you're here getting to know Ireland! Green spot is definitely my favourite also.
My dad gave me a present of Jameson Stout barrel about a year ago. I had never gotten into whiskey. Beginning of the bottle I didn't understand why he gave it to me. But it grew on me quickly and now I have a small collection! Thanks Jameson
RedbreaSt 12 cask is quite exceptional indeed. My second would be green dot and last the Jameson Stout. Love them, life changing for me. Thanks , keep growing ! Slainte! 🥃
For clarity, regarding Jameson Caskmates Stout. Originally stout barrels were sourced from Franciscan Well brewery, but like said demand skyrocketed. In order to keep up with demand, IDL bought 8 degree brewery. It's also first brewery owned by Pernod Ricard.
Years ago I had the pleasure of my wife getting me a 21 yr. Old Bushmills. I thought it was the best thing I ever tasted. Some day I want to go back and revisit it when I can afford now that I have expanded my whiskey tasting exponentially. But as I watch this I am tasting Powers gold label for the first time. For $30 in my area in December 2021 I'm quite happy with it as a budget whiskey and I would put it on this list
I have a bottle of stout caskmates in my collection and I see that as my go to Irish bottle (due to availability in Nebraska) and I had a similar right-brain experience that Daniel had with the Green Spot. The first time I tasted it and nosed it, I was instantly taken back to when I was younger and my mom and grandma were baking banana bread on Christmas Eve before the rest of my family came over. So now whenever I pour myself a glass I get filled with that scent and nostalgia.
Great video - thanks guys. I prefer Powers John's Lane 12 to Green Spot and Redbreast 12. I also have the Middleton Barry Crockett Legacy, which is a fantastic whiskey, if rather on the expensive side.
I've been more of a beer guy most of my life but came across your channel a while ago and have been trying some of the whiskeys that you recommend and I have to say the redbreast 12 is my favorite so far thank you and keep up the good work
Thanks to Daniel’s comment in another video, I now maintain a big bottle of Jameson Caskmates Stout Edition *AT ALL TIMES* for what I call “mindless, background dram-sipping”. Easily good enough for when you choose to pay attention to it and sniff before each sip, inexpensive, friendly and great to sip without feeling you’re missing something if you choose not to sniff, swish and study each sip. Great go-to for almost any occasion!! 👍🥃
Redbreast 15 is still my favorite non-ridiculously priced whiskey - ANY whiskey, let alone Irish. Green Spot is my favorite everyday whiskey. I've got a story about it, and I won't bore you with it ... Redbreast 27 is my favorite exotic whiskey - have only had one pour of it, and that'll probably be it for me ($700-$1000 per bottle). Amazing stuff, but can't set the cost aside - hard to fully enjoy.
As for Irish I love yellow spot/ green spot and Jameson, however my favorite and adorable as of late has been Tullamore Dew more specifically the Caribbean rum cask finished.
Just spent a month in Ireland. Teeling's tour was not only the best tourist thing in Dublin, it maybe was the best whiskey I tasted in a month of many tastings. But they were doing a Writer's Tears tasting at the Duty Free shop in the airport (I'd waited to buy there) and I ended up buying three different bottles of their whiskeys. The sherry finished one is my fave - blasts you with the sherry aroma, and almost tastes like a sweet cognac. So bizarre and intense. And not sold in the US, and in numbered bottles in a run of about 450. For only about $60 at that shop - costs more retail in shops there. Pretty special stuff.
I timed stamped when the name appears not when they start talking about it. 0:53 Writers Tear 2:18 Yellowspot 3:57 Redbreast Lustau 5:08 Redbreast 15 6:02 Sexton 7:19 Jameson Black Barrel 8:17 Teeling Single Malt 10:06 Greenspot 12:26 Jameson Caskmates Stout 14:15 Redbreast 12 Cask Strength
I'm surprised no Powers on the list. Every Powers I've had was just very nice. The gold label is my go to while the premium favorite is Green Spot easily.
What did YOU bring back? I was in Ireland last month, and came home with Red Spot, Jameson Distillery Reserve, Midleton Barry Crockett Legacy, and Bushmills Streamship Collection Sherry Cask.
Haven’t opened it yet. I won’t return to Ireland for a couple of years so I have to consume responsibly (aka SLOWLY) because I won’t be able to replace anything until then
That green apple in the blend is definitely the Teeling single malt, it also completely dominated my infinity bottle after I put it in........... Rather have the rum cask finish from them😍. Ow and enjoy the trip you guys!
Hello all, I have finally found the whiskey in Bourbon, Scotch and Irish that I really enjoy. I must say, sorry guy's but I am leaning more towards bourbon at the moment. You would be proud of me, I visited a friend yesterday that have a lot of expensive whiskey and I mooched my way through 10 whiskeys. Love you guy's. Shout out from South Africa.
The original Teeling Stout Cask is one of my favourites. Casks sourced from Innis &Gunn. It's delectable and rich, with a bit of kick. I hadn't seen it at retail since last year. Then lo and behold, I walked into a store just north of Calgary, and discovered a handful of bottles on the shelf! They also had the second edition (200 Fathoms casks), but the I&G is that slight bit better, imo. I've only had the Jameson's Stout Cask once, but I was underwhelmed. A little too soft & subtle for me...but it's about half the cost of the Teeling, so...
I haven't had opportunity to try a lot of Irish whiskey yet, but so far my favourite is Teeling small batch (the rum cask finish one). There's just something about the prettiness of Irish whiskey that blends well with hints of rum. I hope Teeling can keep this expression around when their stock of Cooley barrels runs out.
The green spot wine cask is incredible. Tellamore Dew is seriously slept on too for a good cheep smoothe drink. Probably the most smooth spirit there is.
I'm in the Green Spot camp. Those apple notes on the nose are so lovely. Its the number 1 whiskey I use to convert those who think all whiskey is the same. There is nothing like seeing the eyes of a whiskey noob open when I have them A/B just the nose of an Ardbeg and a Green Spot.
I like the Sexton because I found a store selling it for $16.99 a bottle. It's a perfect budget drink and maybe boring but nothing really wrong with it.
RB12CS is fantastic. But my personal favorite is Tullamore Dew Phoenix, which is unbelievable. Unfortunately you can barely find it in the States anymore.
Bought some in France which had been stocked by accident and was sold at a stupidly honest price. Now it is stocked on a regular basis and I drink too much of it. They do sell Redbreast here, but many people here work in Geneva and earn three times as much as French punters. Ls frontaliers they are called. I am thought to belong to that tribe. Unfortunately unlike them I don't earn an obscene lot of money. Still, long live Jameson!
TH it’s not Guinness barrels though, they are from the Franciscan Well brewery in cork, in the south west of Ireland. And the whiskey is excellent. I have a bottle in my cupboard.
You should try Jameson’s black barrel. So smooth. I’m not a huge whiskey drinker but black barrel really was a great experience. The stout for me was really vibrant. If you’ve had Jameson it’ll be like a heavier Jameson with a coffee/chocolate undertone. Still good as all Jameson.
Great Big Mouth 137 I’m a whiskey drinker, I have a bottle of Black Barrel in my cupboard. It’s an excellent whiskey in my humble opinion. My favorite is Redbreast 12.
Hey, have you ever tried a german whiskey? I've been living and drinking in the black forest for 4 years now and I just found out a month ago there are two distilleries within 30 minutes. Already set out to try some in the future.
Glendalough double barrel! I've never seen it on an irish whiskey mist but I absolutely love it. It's got a nuttiness to it along with the dried fruit and barrel taste. Maybe not available enough
Tried the Sexton for the first time at a whiskyfest a couple months ago & enjoyed it. Mind you, in that sort of environment you need a punchy product to get noticed (ie heavy sherry, or peat, etc) because of all the other things you're trying, so a 4yo full-matured in sherry casks fits that bill.
As far as teeling goes, the brabazon edition 2 is a shining example of a wine finished Irish whiskey (it's cabernet finished). And the distillery exclusive single pot still is, in my opinion, the best of their line up
Welcome to Ireland you magnificent bastards! I moved here at such a good time with an every growing Irish whiskey collection (I partially blame you two)
I saw the top 10 Irish whiskeys and immediately thought, Jameson Special Reserve Black Barrel has to be on here. Many people think the black barrel that you see on the shelves is the same thing but its not really even close to me. I wish they still made the Special Reserve because its a special whiskey.
was in Dublin a few weeks ago. Did some of the whiskey tours. (teeling and jamesons) but the whiskey museum was by far maybe the best. Would absolutly recommend that place if anyone is ever in Dublin.
I went to Ireland for my honeymoon almost 2 years ago and got to bring back a bottle of Jameson Black Barrel Cask Strength, hands down my favorite Irish whiskey.
Bushmill’s 21 ... there’s a time before one tries it, and after... and then sees the price going up from ~95 USD for a 0.7 lit bottle, to 165 USD, then to 188 USD and finally to 225 USD (now). It’s still my favorite ... so I have found an alternative - Whistler 10 yr Single Malt...
Sipping on a Red Spot just after having watched your Patron post of you two heading to your plane home. Safe journey you two, may you have sweet dreams in your own beds soon. ;)
okay, this was fun watching. thank you. WHEN you're not ranking, but, just sitting back, listening to some good music, or, visiting with friends, how do you drink? Surely, you don't take that little, delicate glass, a put hardly a sip in it, then, drink it. Don't you get a larger glass, put a bigger piece of ice in it, fill it half to 3/4 full, and enjoy? Seriously, how do you comfort drink?
I’m still pretty green when it comes to whiskey, so that may be why Irish whiskey is my favorite right now. Jameson stout has been my go to especially if I’m fishing, cause I’m definitely not gonna bring my $70 bottle of Redbreast 12 n have a few or more.. Btw I like Greenspot better than Yellowspot, especially since green is roughly half the price as yellow..
I agree with the red breast cask strength, and i never even got to try it yet. Just based on the original 12. Not on the list that i enjoyed was the Powers John Lane
Glad you guys liked the Redbreast cask strength that much to put it as your number one but, I looked up your review on it only because I enjoy higher percentages neat and wanted to see if it was something to seek out. Absolutely not because T-Rex recommended it or liked it. I have 4 types of Whiskey/whisky that I'm after and that's Irish whiskey, Scotch, Bourbon and Japanese whisky. It's easy to find a bourbon at a high abv but, the rest are usually something I actually have to do some research on. Aberlour A'bunadh(already have), Ardbeg Uigeadail and Laphroaig Cask strength are on my Scotch list and I was considering Kaiyo Cask strength for my higher abv Japanese whisky.
connamara 12, love the whiskey but i hate the brand as its made on the other side of the country and not in the area of its namesake which is where i am from. so i dont like the brand
Never been able to find greenspot in Ontario Canada, then yesterday I walk into an LCBO and there's like 8 bottles there. Tried it for the first time, absolutely delicious
I had a bottle of Black Barrel chillin in the back of the cabinet forever. Been sipping on "higher end" whiskey for a while and decided to revisit the BB and dang! It's really good!
I've been lucky and tried them all and my one and only Irish whiskey if there was only one to choose, would be Greenspot. For price and value Greenspot everytime, followed by Red breast 15.
I love your videos - learn a lot from them. They can get delightfully weird; witness: the snippet from 11:34 with a hard stop at 11:50 (hard stop - don't play past 11:50). Lettermanesque.
Redbreast absolutely. The 12 12cs and 15 are all amazing whiskeys and I've had nothing that comes close Irish. 15 is my favorite but 12 is still top notch
My tongue is probably painted on, as I cannot identify half of the notes that you blokes are pulling out - but Teeling single malt is one my absolute fav whiskeys. mmmmm.
The only bias with the RB12 Cask Strength is that the Tribe is heavily biased toward quality high-proof whisk(e)y, regardless of origin. RedBreast is a great Irish whiskey, and the Cask Strength just amplifies all of it.

Absolutely my favorite.

To not have Bushmills 16 and Powers 12 on this list is insanity !!! GTFO of here !!! But sure, bravo for RB CS :D

It shall now be called “Rex Breast Cask Strength”
I agree with most.. I would bring in some cheeky peat smoke tho with connemara
yes, instead of Writers tears
Connemara should be top five.

I believe Jameson are getting their stout casks from 8degrees brewing company from County Cork. They are also doing an IPA casks version too

Bushmills Black Bush

Enjoying Redbreast 12 Cask Strength with this video. I'm primarily a Scotchie but this RB is an awfully nice change of pace.
Redbreast Lustau is probably my favourite and only discovered after you guys recommended it 💪
I always say, all Irish is good and some of it great! Keep it up gents.
My top 5:
-Midleton Very Rare
-Green Spot Chateau Leoville Barton
-Redbreast 12
-Teeling Single Pot Still
-Knappogue Castle 16
I'm in the Green Spot camp. Those apple notes on the nose are so lovely. Its the number 1 whiskey I use to convert those who think all whiskey is the same. There is nothing like seeing the eyes of a whiskey noob open when I have them A/B just the nose of an Ardbeg and a Green Spot.
I like the Sexton because I found a store selling it for $16.99 a bottle. It's a perfect budget drink and maybe boring but nothing really wrong with it.
Just tried the Redbreast 12 year old. While it pains me, I have agree with Rex about how good this is. So incredibly smooth!
I just fail to see how any honest soul could come to this conclusion. What’s smooth about it? It’s like drinking sharpie ink
RB12CS is fantastic. But my personal favorite is Tullamore Dew Phoenix, which is unbelievable. Unfortunately you can barely find it in the States anymore.
They're right about availability, my Teeling I snag locally but my Greenspot I am driving an hour or more for.
For the price, the Jameson Caskmates Stout edition is so goddamn tasty.
Bought some in France which had been stocked by accident and was sold at a stupidly honest price. Now it is stocked on a regular basis and I drink too much of it.
They do sell Redbreast here, but many people here work in Geneva and earn three times as much as French punters.
Ls frontaliers they are called.
I am thought to belong to that tribe. Unfortunately unlike them I don't earn an obscene lot of money.
Still, long live Jameson!
My favourite Northern Ireland whiskey is The Quiet Man blended whisky excellent followed by Bushmills Black again excellent whiskey
If you can get your hands on, try Hinch. They make great whiskeys for a good price
Jameson in a stout keg... Guinness? Would make good sense in Ireland...
I'm gonna try the Jameson stout barrel with a friend soon, really excited about it. I love whiskey and Guinness so this MUST be nice
TH it’s not Guinness barrels though, they are from the Franciscan Well brewery in cork, in the south west of Ireland. And the whiskey is excellent. I have a bottle in my cupboard.
You should try Jameson’s black barrel. So smooth. I’m not a huge whiskey drinker but black barrel really was a great experience. The stout for me was really vibrant. If you’ve had Jameson it’ll be like a heavier Jameson with a coffee/chocolate undertone. Still good as all Jameson.

I love Bushmills 12 year, and you can only buy it at Bushmills distillery, which is really cool!
Awesome video! give me Jameson Caskmates Stout edition all day long. What hell just give me Irish
Hey, have you ever tried a german whiskey?
I've been living and drinking in the black forest for 4 years now and I just found out a month ago there are two distilleries within 30 minutes.
Already set out to try some in the future.
Glendalough double barrel! I've never seen it on an irish whiskey mist but I absolutely love it. It's got a nuttiness to it along with the dried fruit and barrel taste. Maybe not available enough
*somewhere doing something*
James Joyce doth requesthed ye location.

Jamison Caskmates Stout for the price is my #1. But a close second is Tullamore D.E.W. so easy to drink and smooth.
Welcome to Ireland you magnificent bastards! I moved here at such a good time with an every growing Irish whiskey collection (I partially blame you two)
I saw the top 10 Irish whiskeys and immediately thought, Jameson Special Reserve Black Barrel has to be on here. Many people think the black barrel that you see on the shelves is the same thing but its not really even close to me. I wish they still made the Special Reserve because its a special whiskey.
was in Dublin a few weeks ago. Did some of the whiskey tours. (teeling and jamesons) but the whiskey museum was by far maybe the best. Would absolutly recommend that place if anyone is ever in Dublin.
As an Irish whiskey lover I would also go with the cask strength redbreast as the best
Have yet to try redbreast or sexton but between the Jameson caskmates and black barrel the black barrel all the way for me!
We are flooded with gin since the laws on distilleries were loosened recently but like winter whiskey is coming
Damnit!!!!!!!! I should not watch these videos,when I am broke... Now I want a bottle of whiskey!!!!
Recently bought Dingle, Single Malt, 4th Ed. Small Batch. It's amazing!
I went to Ireland for my honeymoon almost 2 years ago and got to bring back a bottle of Jameson Black Barrel Cask Strength, hands down my favorite Irish whiskey.
What do you drink more
3 redbreast entries and you don't include Bushmill's 21?
WHAT THE HELL MAN
Have to agree Bushmill 21 was overlooked
Bushmill's 21 is my spirit animal.
It's the tribe's choice... Didn't tried it yet, way to expensiv here.
as voted by the tribe
@TrevorKoch the tribe has spoken
Bushmill’s 21 ... there’s a time before one tries it, and after... and then sees the price going up from ~95 USD for a 0.7 lit bottle, to 165 USD, then to 188 USD and finally to 225 USD (now). It’s still my favorite ... so I have found an alternative - Whistler 10 yr Single Malt...
Sipping on a Red Spot just after having watched your Patron post of you two heading to your plane home. Safe journey you two, may you have sweet dreams in your own beds soon. ;)
Redbreast 12 and Greenspot are personal favourites. Must have good taste.
is great, but redbreast 12 cask strength and yellow spot is greater !
Powers 12 Year John’s Lane Release is my #1, surprised it wasn’t on the list!
Redbreast 12 and green spot are both works of art and almost impossible to choose between
okay, this was fun watching. thank you. WHEN you're not ranking, but, just sitting back, listening to some good music, or, visiting with friends, how do you drink?

I’m still pretty green when it comes to whiskey, so that may be why Irish whiskey is my favorite right now.
Jameson stout has been my go to especially if I’m fishing, cause I’m definitely not gonna bring my $70 bottle of Redbreast 12 n have a few or more..
Btw I like Greenspot better than Yellowspot, especially since green is roughly half the price as yellow..

In the 70s there was alot more than Middleton distillery in Ireland, pretty sure Bushmills has been going for a year or two
What? No Connemara! It is the best whisk(e)y period.
connamara 12, love the whiskey but i hate the brand as its made on the other side of the country and not in the area of its namesake which is where i am from. so i dont like the brand
@@Farside_ Let's be thankful that Connemara's name is remembered so appropriately.
W. James Conley my fav at the moment
Never been able to find greenspot in Ontario Canada, then yesterday I walk into an LCBO and there's like 8 bottles there. Tried it for the first time, absolutely delicious
don't doubt the Sexton rexy.. its a good whisky with a great price.
Sexton (and the comments about it) surprises me because I tried it for the first time recently and wasn't a fan but Bushmills is my go-to
Whisky dad joke: I met a girl named Islay the other day. Thought the name was neat.
Side note. This is a true story.
Was she SMOKING hot?
Did you want to STOP HER FROM MALTING!?
@@jameskeen593 she was 5.

My favorite is tullamore dew
Bushmills 16 still my favourite 💪
I had a bottle of Black Barrel chillin in the back of the cabinet forever. Been sipping on "higher end" whiskey for a while and decided to revisit the BB and dang! It's really good!
Great Channal, this Bar is a Treasure, keep going please.!!!
I live in a smaller town and somehow stumbled upon Redbreast Lustau. This stuff is better than Redbreast 12. I hope to find it again someday.
I've been lucky and tried them all and my one and only Irish whiskey if there was only one to choose, would be Greenspot. For price and value Greenspot everytime, followed by Red breast 15.
I love your videos - learn a lot from them. They can get delightfully weird; witness: the snippet from 11:34 with a hard stop at 11:50 (hard stop - don't play past 11:50). Lettermanesque.
Great list, i really love Connemara peated (*heart*) though.
Jameson Stout is my go to every day whiskey. You’ll love the new Teeling Stout Cask
Can't wait to see the videos from Ireland ☘️
Never been to this channel but getting major vibes here.
Hey Tribesmen! I need your input!
Moving up to a top shelf Irish Single poy still. What should I start with? Redbreast 12 or Green Spot?
Redbreast absolutely. The 12 12cs and 15 are all amazing whiskeys and I've had nothing that comes close Irish. 15 is my favorite but 12 is still top notch
Also green spot is good, but red breast is better.
@@Arcticroberto9376 Thanks!
I personally like Bushmill's but prefer Black Bush.
My tongue is probably painted on, as I cannot identify half of the notes that you blokes are pulling out - but Teeling single malt is one my absolute fav whiskeys. mmmmm.
The only bias with the RB12 Cask Strength is that the Tribe is heavily biased toward quality high-proof whisk(e)y, regardless of origin. RedBreast is a great Irish whiskey, and the Cask Strength just amplifies all of it.
