How many of those did you sample? That’s some collection for drinking
I had some wild turkey rare breed last night I like, it’s mid range price wise I think I paid €60 for it.

He had more in the basement too.
I had 4 of them: red spot, green spot, one of the midletons and the cuatro bariles which I wasn’t mad about at all CC @Malarkey and @glasagusban

Red spot is a bit of a gimmick for me. Yellow spot just as good and green spot not far off yet it’s mad money to buy
To be honest, it all went a bit bonkers when the brand got serious traction. Same with redbreast with the 12 holding it’s own against all comers.

I think the other redbreasts are better than the spots. Redbreast do a lovely sherry bomb and the 12 year old cask strength is unreal.

Is this the purple bottle box?
Yep, an “airport exclusive”

Usually a bad sign
Agreed, but hadn’t had a bad redbreast up until that point

I was gifted a bottle of it and didn’t think it was great. It was gone after 3 sittings though so I thought I might have been overly harsh on it!
I didn’t find it easy to put away, even after I cleared the neck. Maybe it was just perseverance on your part, or you’re a boozehound

It’s decent stuff. On par with Black Barrel and Crested. Bit more of a kick off it. That must be the protestant in it

I had a couple of glasses last night, it’s decent alright. I’ll keep it on the bank holiday roster.

I’m about to hit up a bottle of teelings i got coming home from turkey last weekend. Its delicious. Duty free is well worth it for the upgrade in quality you get for the price you normally pay
