I was at a wine society talk a while back, and the speaker opined that a fair bit of high end claret is now being produced never to be drunk, purely as a commodity. It’s mental really.
A lot of that demand was driven by the Chinese market, they may not be as interested in claret appreciation for a while.
Midleton Barry Crocket. Sweet Jesus. Nicest I’ve ever had

They’re all lovely. Are you planning on drinking all of them in one session?
If so I’d start with the Redbreast which is probably the mildest.

I haven’t had a drop since Super Bowl. Was planning just the one or two.

Save it. Drink it on its own some time
For anyone with five grand lying about…
Powers White Label was John McGahern’s favourite whiskey.
Short answer: I agree with FO’D on Waterford Distillery. Will likely become by far the best new Irish distillery (and one of the finest in the world).
Can give a long answer as well. But do not want to maunder on…
Having a drop of Glendronach 15yr old here. Too peaty/smoky for my liking
Redbreast 12 year. Lovely stuff.

Save it. You will appreciate it over the next two weeks
A lovely mellow drop. Have you had green spot, the two side by side are a lovely contrast.
One after the other? Sup after sup?
No, sip one until its gone, have a sup of water and start the other.
Rinse and repeat.
I don’t drink whiskey but that sounds a bit much.
What are you doing in the whiskey thread then?
