Blue Spot is incredible. I just wish it was more available. I have to jump on it whenever it comes to my area.
I hope I catch it when it's released this year. I missed it last time. The tag was on the shelf but no bottles.
Big fan of Spots, all of them. Love Blue Spot so much that I have 2 backup bottles, lol. Madeira is Portuguese Desert wine, too sweet for mine taste.
I hope I get lucky and hit the store in time to pick up another bottle of the Blue when it comes out this year. I missed lasted years release by 2 days. The tag was on the shelf but the shelf was empty.
@@whiskeyisajourney You still can find it online. I think I saw it for $180 or so.
If you start doing some battles, you should see if there is a way you can blind it to remove bias. Would be very interested in watching that!
I was thinking of putting the battle samples together and then have someone number them so I don't know what's what. I think that should work.
@@whiskeyisajourney As long as they are similar in color and proof as to not give away which is which. If you end up battling two whiskies with big enough differences in proof, it might be worthwhile to measure water with a syringe to proof them down equally.
@@travismorita2236 I have black Glen Karen's so color won't be a problem if the color is that much different. And as I look through my collection, I'll start matching them up based on proof so I don't have to worry about proofing one of them down.
Blinds are fun but they also aren’t gospel. Palates change day to day and the sip you take before another sip will influence your palate, as well. When you get into cask strengths, the palate is also quick to get overwhelmed and nuances get lost pretty quickly. They are fun and interesting though, just not objective.
I am a Single Pot Still whiskey fan, yet I'm somewhat reluctant to pick up a bottle of Blue Spot ($129 to $180 here in SoCal) knowing that Redbreast 12 CS can be had for as low as $90.
Madeira finished whiskies remind me of ripe figs baked in honey..!!! 🥃
Based on a comment from @neilrobertson6849 I am going to get a a few bottles of sherry so I can reference the notes a little better and see if I actually like sherry. This will be fun.
Totally agree with you! Just too much money! (and I'm cheap!)
Hi ! Greeting from Tbilisi , Georgia , not a US ))) I love whisky , i whisky club member Tbilisi .I like Spot whiskey , tried green and yellow releases but very difficult to find red and gold realases : ( i find germany , nederland and gb online market but ..... Ok , i like viďeo and i subscribe ) sorry my English ) Slainte Mhath !
Red is very difficult to find here as well. Thanks for supporting the channel! Slainte Mhath!
Гамарджоба, генацвале.
Great review and 100% agree with the score. We’ve enjoyed it a lot but haven’t been enamored with them and probably do prefer RB12CS.
It's so hard to beat the RB12CS. That bottle has a whole lot of special flavors going on in it.
Green Spot is the only one I see consistently here, so I may have to look for some of these on my travels.
If you see it, don't pay too much for it.
Blue Spot is my favorite of the spots that I’ve had (green, green CL, green CM, and blue). I find Teeling to be much better with the Single Grain beating many Irish and Scotch offerings in blinds. It’s also available and priced right.
I have not had the single grain from Teeling. Sounds like I need to at some point. Cheers!
Great review. Just checked mine,22 release. Also have the green,yellow and gold. Currently looking for red but not at a mind numbing price. Cheers
I paid a mind numbing price for my Red Spot. Never again. Cheers!
Peter, per Mitchell&Sons, the 2020 was the first release in the US and was at 58.7% ABV. The 2021 and 2022 releases were both at 58.9%. Loving that 58.7%, haven't cracked the 58.9% yet. Cheers!!
Thank you for the information. I really appreciate it. If and when the new one hits Total Wine and More in my area I hope I time it right. They go quick.
Great collection, for just starting your whiskey journey.
I kind of went all in. As soon as I realized I liked tasting whisk(e)y with my brother in law I decided the next step would be to document the journey and stat this channel. It has been a blast!
Haven’t had the Blue Spot. I’ve had some of their other offerings and they have all been good.
I think they are all good with the exception of the Gold Spot. In my opinion that one just does not hold up with the others in the line up. My review of the Gold Spot comes out July 17th. Cheers.
@@whiskeyisajourney thanks for the heads up. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen that one. I’ve definitely seen the blue spot in the past but did not get it.
The blue spot is the one that keeps eluding me.. I do prefer the Redbreast 12 over the Green Spot though
I flip flop between the two, but the Redbreast Cask Strength is one of my favorite.
@@whiskeyisajourney I love CS bourbon, but I've went through several Irish Whisky tastings at home and Redbreast 12 is always my winner, even over the 15 and CS.. but I'll have to do a blind soon
Spots whisky produced by Middleton distillery for only independent wine merchant Mitchell and Sons.
Mitchell & Sons or Mitchell and Son? I always get confused when speaking. I think I also say or said Mitchells and Son.🤦♂️
@whiskeyisajourney hmm, truly never paid attention to that. I checked the bottle, and it's Mitchell&Son.
Thanks for another great review, Peter. Don't think I'll be interested in this bottle. A bit too much money, and it seems that Green or Yellow Spot is more my cup of tea!
When I start my head to head battles in August I am going to put Blue Spot up against Redbreast 12 CS and the Yellow Stop up against the the regular Redbreast 12. They will be blinded so it will be interesting to see how that goes.
