Damn dak I just got my first redbreast a 12 and it’s fantastic for the coin. Makes me want to explore more Irish. What are some good Irish bottles in the 2-400 range?

20 was my fav of the two.

The 20 still had some alcohol on the nose which I like.

That RB sweetness still there but totally different than any of the other RB items.

I'd recommend trying to snag one if possible.

Not to mention the 20 is a lot cheaper too.

The 32 was incredibly smooth and easy though.

Nose wasn't anything special to me.

Lotta wood on the finish. It was overoaked IMO.

Will revisit them on their owning the future.

I've got two of the 32's and one 20, going to hang on to them for a while before I open either. Thanks for the info.

That's not all of the RB.
Here are some others:
Redbreast Lustau! And you can find it most anywhere.

There is also a Master of Malt RB 16, which I have. https://www.whiskyauctioneer.com/lot...ld-master-malt

And a RB 32!! https://www.forbes.com/sites/joemica.../#49d2066f510d

I don't have the 32 but it's the only RB that I don't have. There is also a 1999 Single Pot that I don't have. Hmm.

And my favorite is a Midleton Single Cask from 2001. https://www.celticwhiskeyshop.com/Midleton-cask-18812
Inventory must be getting low as I paid about half that for my bottle 2 years ago. I have 40-50 bottles of Irish Whiskey and this one is my favorite. I also have a regular Midleton Very Rare, a Barry Crockett, and a Dair Ghaelach.

I would almost rather any of the above vs any Pappy product. Call me Crazy.

Have you opened the Barry Crockett? It's the best irish I've tasted.

I have, and I quite like it. It too is part of my upper tier. But the Single Cask is crazy good.

That's the Irish whiskey glass made to differentiate from Glencarin's, how do you like it?

I have it and I love it. I got mine in Dublin at the Celtic Whiskey Shop. It might be better than the classic Glencairn.

I got new glasses with a very similar style. No specific stye name however they were made in Germany.

I've done many tours and a number of Whisky holidays and this stale is the most enjoyable I've experienced.

I was in a liquor store today and they had a bottle of Pappy 23yr old for $2399.00. I just laughed as I walked by the case.

2019 might be the best one so far.

I haven’t been able to snag a bottle yet.
