One of my favorite videos from you guys. Love when Kurt tries new things and especially things he isn’t inclined to like. Keep up this kind of series for different whiskeys w Trent!
Last summer we toured Ireland.. I found the 21 year at the Jameson Midleton store for 200 and the 27 year for 400. My son called the experience "Disneyland for Dads"...couldn't agree more.
Personally I would love to see your guys take on Irish whiskeys. I bought Red Breast 12 on your recommendation and I think it was the perfect first bottle for my Irish whiskey collection. Please keep these coming guys and thank you for what you do!
I like the fact that you guys go through the differences between the mash, the still, the proofs, and the pricing. Gives a great overall view of the differences of what you're drinking.
I started with bourbon on my whiskey journey, but I have come to prefer Irish whiskey over bourbon over the years. I prefer how much smoother Irish whiskey is.
Awesome video... Redbreast is my wife's favorite daily sipper; We got a bottle of the 27 in Ireland for our anniversary, and wow we couldn't agree more with the description. It is so unique; we call it dried fruit cake, ripened stone fruit, grapefruit deliciousness. Thank you for the video, we really enjoyed it!
I'm so glad that you did this video. Redbreast is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE Irish Whisky! Before the tariffs took effect, I could get a bottle of the 12 yr for $35 on sale. Now it's approximately $60 on sale in my area. I'm soooo glad I bought 3 bottles back when I did! 👍 After hearing your reviews of the other bottles, I may have to add one or two of them to my collection. Thank you!
This is by far my favorite video that you’ve made! Perhaps I’m a bit biased having Redbreast be my favorite Whiskey brand. But I absolutely love Single Pot Still Whiskeys with Sherry a maturation! It’d be lovely if you can do the entire Spot line up eventually. - Even if it’s only the Core Colors (Green, Yellow, Red, Blue, Gold)!!
Great show guys. I don't own any Irish Whiskey so this was educational for me. I tend to gauge Trent's reactions because we seem to have similar palates, so like him, I might be inclined to purchase one of these should I come across it. Keep up the great work. Cheers.
The cask strength is easily the best value, and possibly the best tasting one on the list. Butterscotch comes through lightly, and it'll hit you with shortbread cookies with a little nuttiness, and it goes through a dark fruit phase, too. Beautiful whiskey, and easy to find
Redbreast 15 is my favorite Irish whiskey too. I’ve tried the 27 … and dearly love it. But it was a celebratory pour from a friend who owns an Irish pub. Green Spot is my every day drinker!!
Tried them all but the 27. The 15 is also my favorite. Redbreast was the first Irish whisky I tried. Drank many others Irish after but Redbreast is my favorite. Great video guys. Thanks for the good time.
There’s a 32 Dream cask I’ve seen reviewed and the guy said it cost them only $800. A friggin steal for the age statement. And yes the 15 man oh man, I didn’t get to get the 12 small batch or cask but the baking spices on the 15 just hit different. I still do 12 but whenever I see a 15, worth it
This could be one of the best reviews ever boys! Love the Red Breast 12 Cask Strength…one of my favorite Irish whiskeys of all. Would be great to see a Spot review in the future! Cheers!
"You should!, I drink your expensive stuff" Love this Kurt Quote! I am thinking of buying an Irish Whisky, for the 1st time! What do you recommend for someone that is a sub-proof hound, say around 100-120? My goto is Rare Breed.
Great video and review. Red Breast is one of my favorites. I have 27 year, spent $499.00 on it. It sits on my shelf and will be opened when I have my first grand child. One bottle you are missing; there is a Red Breast Kentucky Oak Edition 101 proof. Fantastic pour. Would love for you to do a Spot review as well.
The 21 up here in Canada was extremely hard to find and when I finally did ran me $400 CAD. The 27 was actually easier if you can believe that, and was $800 CAD. The 27 might be my favorite whisky, in any category of all time. It's next level with flavor and complexity!
Love the 12 & 21... hope to get a 15 & 27 in the near future. I just find the layers of flavors the Redbreast bottles provide are well worth the price of admission. Thank you for the comprehensive review of these wonderful burds!
I'm in Alabama and recently purchased the 12yr CS (which I have bought before) and the 15yr (first time purchase) they were $100 and $140 respectively. I prefer the CS myself. As usual great video guys, thanks for the content!
Father and son….im sitting here in a cave tonight having a fire camping and just bought my first bottle of the 12 yr old and I definitely love it! It screams “holidays” to me but would be enjoyed all year easily but mainly thank you for the videos you put out and for making this campaign g trip uniquely special spending it with while I’m camping in a cave by a creek!
The lustau is fantastic. I actually didn't care for it the first time I tried it, but when my palette developed, I could pick out the fruits and the almond. It's delicious.
This was great fun. Awesome seeing Trent's first time trying RB. Lustau is my absolute favorite irish. Would definitely love to see you guys go through the Spots as well.
Kurt, you recommended Redbreast to me some time back, and I have kept it in mind ever since. Now I have to add RB 12 Cask Strength based on Trenton's reaction. I tend to be a proof hound as well. It was really interesting and helpful to see you guys go through the whole lineup. Thanks!
As others have said, great video! Big fan of Red Breast 12, the only one from this line-up that I have had. On the lookout though for the Cask Strength. Saw a 15 locally for $190 which is above my price point. I like how went vertically with whiskeys from one distillery. Need to do that more with others,
Love the video gents!! I’m a massive fan of the red breast line, though never ventured(afforded) the 2 high age bottles. The PX finish is phenomenal too, from what I hear! It’s great to see you range to other whisky from time to time.
What timing on this vid! Last week I bought my first bottle of Irish Whiskey and I picked up the Cask Strength Redbreast 12 year for $77.99 on sale. It was priced at $109.99 and my local BevMo in SoCal and it was the last bottle in a locked case. Had to grab it for $77.99. Would enjoy to see you guys do a vid on Scotch as well. I also picked up my first Scotch bottle which is Tamdhu (had a pour a speakeasy) which is aged sherry oak casks and is delicious. I still enjoy bourbon and American whiskey overall better, but it's nice to change it up once in a while.
Please keep up the great reviews and by the way you have an awesome bar set up. Over time I have come to prefer Irish single pot still whiskey. Budget in mind, in my area RB 12 $70 (honey and fruiter notes) and Powers John's Lane $60 (vanilla, honey and black pepper notes) never disappoint. For what it's worth I usually have a few unsalted peanuts or walnuts before tasting a whiskey and think it helps the first sip taste better.
Got to enjoy the 27 this past Monday evening. All i can say is wow! I wanted to lick the glass when it was empty. I'm done. it's going to be hard to top that! Great vid boys!!
Redbreast 12 is my "Home Whisky" like a lot of people who have Home Food or comfort food. I have a lot of whisky in my vault that costs a lot more than Redbreast and I've purchased for a lot of reasons but the one I go to when I don't want to think too hard about it is Redbreast 12. I thought that after I learned about all kinds of whiskys and my palate broadened it wouldn't hold up anymore but it does. I like it more than the other, more expensive Redbreasts too. The Cask Strength is non-chill filtered because above 46% you don't need it. It isn't because it's somehow a higher quality product or anything, it's just the side affect of higher proof. I bought the Redbreast 12 and the 12 CS and drank both bottles back to back. At the end I still couldn't decide which I liked better and I figured if I didn't know than why spend the extra $30? So I don't. As for cost, the Redbreast 12 is a world beater. I think IDL keeps the price artificially low as it's the door to the rest of their products.
The Redbreast has always been a favorite. I don’t mind 80 proof so the 12 is usually open. I do definitely prefer the 15 to the cask strength though. Thanks for one in my wheelhouse!!
Being new to whiskey, I really enjoyed my bottle of Redbreast 12yr. OHLQ prices for Redbreast - 12yr = $64.99, Lustau = $79.99, 12yr Cask = $99.99, 15yr = $129.99, 21yr = $379.99, and 27yr = $649.99. Got to love the .99 on each bottle. Great video and looking forward to the live show on Friday!
From the 27y, I get all sorts of tropical fruits such as mango, papaya and passion fruit...Wrapped in walnuts, and chili on the finish. Nose is just pure stone fruit. Such a great pour
Kurt & Trenton, Great review of one of the best Irish whiskey's.. I have the 12-27 as well, each have that butter cookie, and cereal base. The 12 is like Christmas cake in a glass, and Cask Strength is so hard to beat. The 15, is a great after dinner dram, a very underrated pour. The 21 has peaches & guava exploding out of the glencarin. The 27 is on another level, one of the best noses ever. Lots of dark berries & jam notes. Here in Canada 🇨🇦 it sells for $700.00 plus our 12% taxes. Cheers guys, enjoy your channel from Canada. You should do an episode on Canadian Club Chronicles Series aged 41-45 years. I have each and they are an experience. Cheers 🍻, Jor-El
Love this episode and it inspired me to go out and buy a bottle of Trenton's favorite Cask Strength and Kurt's favorite 15 year! You should definitely do a review on more Irish whiskey like the spots or even the Jameson lineup! Would love to see a video on Japanese whiskey to learn about them!
Really like y 10 year Red Breast. Current prices in Oregon for Red Breast are: 10 yr 69.95, 12 yr 99.95, 15 yr 139,95, 21 yr 399.95. The 27 yr is not available. Think I'll stick with the 10 year but the 15 is tempting. Great review.
I could absolutely go for a strawberry toaster stroodle! Used to have those as a kid with my dad and they were the best. Now I'm going to have to investigate redbreast Irish whiskey, thanks guys! Great video
Hey I’m just getting in bourbon and whiskey and love your guys content and found it very helpful! Maybe could do a video reviewing some American made potstill products.
Great video. Love it when yall do different types of whiskeys. Redbreast is one of the best product lines of any distiller. Redbreast 15 and the 12 cask strength are both in my top three of just enjoyable whiskeys to drink.
Great video. I love Irish Whiskey, and have been fortunate enough to have visited Ireland often, which has led to many great tasting experiences. If Trenton enjoys the silky mouthfeel, wait 'til he tastes Yellow Spot. My regular to sip is Writer's Tears and for cocktails, Teeling Small Batch. And definitely enjoy Red Breast. Slainte!
Look at Kurt come alive, he loves this stuff 👍🏼 More videos on affordable Irish and Scotch is great. It needs to be affordable for me to step out from bourbon, don’t want to pay a lot when I don’t know how much I will like it.
For scotch intros, Balvenie 12 double wood is a moderately priced option. But the bottle I recommend to everyone is the Bunnahabhain 12. Kurt mentioned the 18 as the “scotch to impress”. It’s not peated, and has a nice toffee impression so you won’t get that turpentine scent, as people often say about Islays. It is more expensive but I promise if you already drink whiskey, you won’t regret it.
Tullamore Dew is my favorite budget Irish whiskey; IMO so much better than that one that every bar seems to serve. However, Redbreast is definitely my favorite when I feel like splurging a bit. I have the 12 year, which I really enjoy; it gets poured on St. Patrick's Day. But I see now that I need to grab either a 12 yr CS or 15 yr that I've been contemplating for a while. Thanks for the review.
Great video. I've come to really like Irish Whiskey. I've tried the 12 and own the 15, and it is great. I have to get some others. Please do a video on the Spots! That would be awesome.
I love Redbreast. Cask Strength 12 year is a mainstay and I'm finishing up my bottle of the PX Edition (highly recommend it for around $100-$110). Maybe I'll splurge on 21 someday.
I bought Redbreast 12 only thanks to your recommendation. Very pleasantly surprised. I think you guys should do a scotch sherry bomb flight/review. Tamdhu, Bunnahabhain, Aberlour, etc.
Great review! Which batch of Redbreast did you get? IDL increased the prices twice in the past 18 months. It’s $650 here now. I can get a Redbreast Single Cask bottle from Ireland cheaper. My favorite Redbreast is the Redbreast 10 year and the Redbreast 16 year Sonny Malloy Single Cask. Love to see people drinking more Irish Whiskey!
Wonderful assessment. Would love to see Japanese whisky next. Yamazaki 12 has been an intriguing complement recently to my bourbon-heavy rotation. Cheers!
Great video! Love redbreast Irish whiskey from the moment I tried it in Ireland randomly. Ive had 3 of those so far on the table . Been wanting to try the cask strength and now Im even more excited to try it. Thanks for the time you put into these videos. I truly enjoy them and no one out there does it like you guys!
Love the 12-Year and would love to try the Cask Strength and 27-Year. My favorite Irish bar serves the 12-, 15- and 21-Year; Virginia ABC only sells the 12-, 21- and 27-Year.
Great video! Love bourbon, but having videos like these expose me to new pours outside my usual. Would love to keep seeing videos like these or Scotch or Japanese Whisky, too. The education side is great as well!
Redbreast is good. The standard 12-year is a staple of bars, and it is a good warm-up or palate cleanser. I have the 12-year cask strength at home, and I've also tried the 15. They are all good, and I would love to try some of the others. If you want to spend some money, the Midleton Very Rare line-up has some good options. I have one of the cask strength versions that is finished in new Irish oak. I've never had anything else quite like it.
I have hundreds of bourbons in my collection and all but 3 are for drinking and sharing. But this is my favorite video you guys have put out to date. I am a huge Midleton fan boy. It is my favorite distillery with BT a close second. Redbreast is my favorite whiskey lineup. Always have the first four open on my bar. The 15 yr and the 12 yr CS are my two favorite. The 15 is $135 21 yr is $390 27 yr is $580 Dream Cask (do not have and not sold in US by Midleton) but cheapest I have seen was $1,200 but just looked and now tremendously more. Their limited special editions are great. You can still find the Redbreast Kentucky Oak and it is 101 proof. Would love to see you do the Spot lineup. I still need the Gold and now the new Quails’ Gate.
I bet Trenton would enjoy the Knappogue Castle lineup 12, 14, 16 and 21 are easily available around the US. Only 12 yr sold in my state so pick them up when I travel. Would love tour take on the Powers lineup and get their new Rye so Trent will be happy (nothing like an American rye but delicious)
@@slbdrinks the 12 is always open on my bar. My Irish Whiskey Club did a Zoom tasting with the Knappogue Castle Midleton Blender lest week. We tasted almost the full lineup The single malts 12yr, 14yr, 16yr a never before sampled Midleton 23yr port cask strength and the 72 yr old bottle Knappogue Castle 1951 which is a 36 yr old single pot stilled. What a great evening
Great take as always, guys! Wondering if you have thought about tasting in reverse order...rarest/expensive to common/cheaper. I wonder if your mind is pre-conditioned to higher expectations as you go along?
Love the review of Irish, always fun to see bourbon drinkers reactions to “malt whiskies. We are tasting through a bunch of Irish whiskies at different age ranges this month, and got to say as a bourbon drinker, I am liking them more than I would have thought.
Definitely do a video of the spots. Big fan of the Gold, Red, and Yellow spot. Also would be nice to see some Midleton, Powers, and Bushmills reviews as well.
Redbreast has become my favorite whiskey in the world. I bought it on a whim a few years ago and have collected all but 4 of the series. Missing the Kentucky Oak, 21 year, 27 year and the new Tawny Port.
First time I’ve seen this and great video. The 12 year cast strength is an awesome poor and agree. The 15 is smooth and delicious. Heading to Dublin Ireland this weekend and going to drink my fair share while I’m there. Keep up the great videos. I hope Trenton has bought that 12 year cast strength.
Redbreast is one of my favorites. I haven't seen - much less purchased - a 27 anywhere. If I ever do, I'll probably buy it to have the experience. RB is just fantastic whiskey.
Great work gentlemen. Love the Redbreast lineup. Since Trent likes the Cask Strength whiskey….it may be hard to find….but Blue Spot is an excellent example. Give it a try if you can.
I am a bourbon/rye drinker, but I always have a couple bottles of Irish whiskey on hand. I love the 12 year red breast but a couple weeks ago I grabbed a bottle of the cask strength version and it’s on another level. I will always have Red Breast cask strength on my shelf right next to the Powers Irish whiskey. Cheers. 🥃
Lol you’re about to turn them into a whiskey channel and it wouldn’t be a bad thing. Variety is the spice of life, Taiwanese and Japanese if you get the good stuff like Scotch is 🤤🤤
@Marcel Johnson haha not as a full-fledged ongoing incorporation into the channel but I actually like hearing how trent is curious about this test since it's so far from his normal realm. Just a quick 1 episode hit of each type and maybe a wrap up global comparison would be cool. Assuming most the viewers are more bourbon-centric, I think it would be great to bring that perspective to compare and contrast bourbon vs other whiskies. They were talking a bit at the end there about the different types of sweetness and how these aren't vanilla/caramel bombs like most quintessential bourbon.
Loved this one! Very nice rundown of the various offerings from Redbreast. I have been interested in trying something from them but had no idea where to start. This gives me a great bit of knowledge to use when I go to the liquor store to pick up a bottle. Since my previous experience with Irish whiskey has just been the basic Jamesons and Bushmills, I am really looking forward to getting a bottle of Redbreast and enjoying it. Thanks for a great video!!!
I havent drank irish whiskey in years. Even then it was jameson, jameson 18, and i cant remember if i had any others. St. Patricks day i tried high and wicked, north cross i think it was (it was pretty good), and green spot, which i really liked. I been wanting to try more irish whiskeys, redbreast being one of them.
Great show !!!! I just purchased the Red Breast 15 year on St Patrick’s Day I’ve been hearing Kurt always talk it and his favorite the 27 year unfortunately can’t afford that one lol so I went with the 15 year and it cost me in Florida $100 and I’m really blown away with it !!!!!! Thank you KURT!!!!! for the turning me on to the Breast !!!!!!!!

Why were Tariffs even ever started??
The UK has tarrifs that double the prices of US imports. As I understand it the US raised its own tariff to match.
This is by far my favorite video that you’ve made!
Perhaps I’m a bit biased having Redbreast be my favorite Whiskey brand. But I absolutely love Single Pot Still Whiskeys with Sherry a maturation!
It’d be lovely if you can do the entire Spot line up eventually. - Even if it’s only the Core Colors (Green, Yellow, Red, Blue, Gold)!!
I’d LOVE to see a video on Japanese whiskey (whisky?)!
Love Irish Whiskey. Need to do Jameson and Powers next. Can’t go wrong with Redbreast 12 yr.
Great show guys. I don't own any Irish Whiskey so this was educational for me. I tend to gauge Trent's reactions because we seem to have similar palates, so like him, I might be inclined to purchase one of these should I come across it. Keep up the great work. Cheers.

Yes, the cask strength just amps up those fruit flavors, but doesn't come in too hot.
I almost get a Yoplait vanilla yogurt note on the Redbreast CS that is very enjoyable. As a mainly bourbon enjoyer I think Redbreast is fantastic!
I have a 12 year and have been keeping my eyes open for any other offerings that hit my area. Great episode guys!
"You should!, I drink your expensive stuff" Love this Kurt Quote! I am thinking of buying an Irish Whisky, for the 1st time! What do you recommend for someone that is a sub-proof hound, say around 100-120? My goto is Rare Breed.

@@Lou45833 We have to pay for our 15hr Emergency room wait times somehow. 🤡🤡
I just seen the 15 year here in Canada. It was $147 couldn't quite get myself to buy it, but I'll probably splurge some day soon here lol
Redbreast 12 Cask Strength is one of my favorite whiskies of any type. The Redbreast Lustau is pretty special too.
Love the 12 & 21... hope to get a 15 & 27 in the near future. I just find the layers of flavors the Redbreast bottles provide are well worth the price of admission. Thank you for the comprehensive review of these wonderful burds!
15 is great, I got it a few years ago in Ohio for a great price. 27 and Tawny Port and Kentucky Oak are on my to find list here.
I'm in Alabama and recently purchased the 12yr CS (which I have bought before) and the 15yr (first time purchase) they were $100 and $140 respectively. I prefer the CS myself. As usual great video guys, thanks for the content!

The lustau is fantastic. I actually didn't care for it the first time I tried it, but when my palette developed, I could pick out the fruits and the almond. It's delicious.
Please try the Lustau Brandy de Jerez. Deliskus.
I loved it from the first sip. It's so caramely and silky, silky smooth to me. For the price, in Ohio ($70), I'm for sure getting another bottle.
This was great fun. Awesome seeing Trent's first time trying RB. Lustau is my absolute favorite irish. Would definitely love to see you guys go through the Spots as well.

Great video guys. If you can find it, I highly recommend the PX
It is fantastic. Red Breast makes a wonderful product
Redbreast PX is amazing
Redbreast 12 Cask Strength is one of my fav whiskies and I compare closely to Nikka Whisky from the Barrel but different. Fun video guys!
Please keep up the great reviews and by the way you have an awesome bar set up. Over time I have come to prefer Irish single pot still whiskey.

Being new to whiskey, I really enjoyed my bottle of Redbreast 12yr. OHLQ prices for Redbreast - 12yr = $64.99, Lustau = $79.99, 12yr Cask = $99.99, 15yr = $129.99, 21yr = $379.99, and 27yr = $649.99. Got to love the .99 on each bottle. Great video and looking forward to the live show on Friday!
From the 27y, I get all sorts of tropical fruits such as mango, papaya and passion fruit...Wrapped in walnuts, and chili on the finish. Nose is just pure stone fruit. Such a great pour
Kurt & Trenton,
Great review of one of the best Irish whiskey's.. I have the 12-27 as well, each have that butter cookie, and cereal base. The 12 is like Christmas cake in a glass, and Cask Strength is so hard to beat. The 15, is a great after dinner dram, a very underrated pour. The 21 has peaches & guava exploding out of the glencarin. The 27 is on another level, one of the best noses ever. Lots of dark berries & jam notes.
Here in Canada 🇨🇦 it sells for $700.00 plus our 12% taxes. Cheers guys, enjoy your channel from Canada.
You should do an episode on Canadian Club Chronicles Series aged 41-45 years. I have each and they are an experience.
Cheers 🍻,
Jor-El
Love this episode and it inspired me to go out and buy a bottle of Trenton's favorite Cask Strength and Kurt's favorite 15 year!
You should definitely do a review on more Irish whiskey like the spots or even the Jameson lineup! Would love to see a video on Japanese whiskey to learn about them!
We will!
Caskmates Stout edition is *THE ONLY* Jameson worth drinking (unless you’re mixing….in that case go with the entry level lowest price offering)
Can't wait for next Friday! I'm going to be in the mountains of NC just relaxing and enjoying what I can find at the local ABC for the live stream.
That 27 though. Grapefruit all day. Deeeelicous. great video, thank you.
Really like y 10 year Red Breast. Current prices in Oregon for Red Breast are: 10 yr 69.95, 12 yr 99.95, 15 yr 139,95, 21 yr 399.95. The 27 yr is not available. Think I'll stick with the 10 year but the 15 is tempting. Great review.
Credit to Kurt on how educated you are on this product. What a great drop throughout this whole range well done 👏
I could absolutely go for a strawberry toaster stroodle! Used to have those as a kid with my dad and they were the best. Now I'm going to have to investigate redbreast Irish whiskey, thanks guys! Great video
Love the father and son dynamic. You guys are awesome!
I have been thinking of getting a bottle of Red Breast. This video came out a the right time. Thanks!
Hey I’m just getting in bourbon and whiskey and love your guys content and found it very helpful! Maybe could do a video reviewing some American made potstill products.
Great video guys! I love the RB 12 Cask Strength. Oh, and figs grow on trees….
Redbreast was the first bottle I drank neat and still is one of my favorites.
Great video. Love it when yall do different types of whiskeys. Redbreast is one of the best product lines of any distiller. Redbreast 15 and the 12 cask strength are both in my top three of just enjoyable whiskeys to drink.
Great video. I love Irish Whiskey, and have been fortunate enough to have visited Ireland often, which has led to many great tasting experiences. If Trenton enjoys the silky mouthfeel, wait 'til he tastes Yellow Spot. My regular to sip is Writer's Tears and for cocktails, Teeling Small Batch. And definitely enjoy Red Breast. Slainte!
Look at Kurt come alive, he loves this stuff 👍🏼 More videos on affordable Irish and Scotch is great. It needs to be affordable for me to step out from bourbon, don’t want to pay a lot when I don’t know how much I will like it.
For scotch intros, Balvenie 12 double wood is a moderately priced option. But the bottle I recommend to everyone is the Bunnahabhain 12. Kurt mentioned the 18 as the “scotch to impress”. It’s not peated, and has a nice toffee impression so you won’t get that turpentine scent, as people often say about Islays.
It is more expensive but I promise if you already drink whiskey, you won’t regret it.
Tullamore Dew is my favorite budget Irish whiskey; IMO so much better than that one that every bar seems to serve. However, Redbreast is definitely my favorite when I feel like splurging a bit. I have the 12 year, which I really enjoy; it gets poured on St. Patrick's Day. But I see now that I need to grab either a 12 yr CS or 15 yr that I've been contemplating for a while. Thanks for the review.
Great video. I've come to really like Irish Whiskey. I've tried the 12 and own the 15, and it is great. I have to get some others. Please do a video on the Spots! That would be awesome.
Thanks for covering some Irish whiskeys! Consider one with the Spot whiskeys. Thx!
I love Redbreast. Cask Strength 12 year is a mainstay and I'm finishing up my bottle of the PX Edition (highly recommend it for around $100-$110). Maybe I'll splurge on 21 someday.
I bought Redbreast 12 only thanks to your recommendation. Very pleasantly surprised. I think you guys should do a scotch sherry bomb flight/review. Tamdhu, Bunnahabhain, Aberlour, etc.
Great review! Which batch of Redbreast did you get? IDL increased the prices twice in the past 18 months. It’s $650 here now. I can get a Redbreast Single Cask bottle from Ireland cheaper. My favorite Redbreast is the Redbreast 10 year and the Redbreast 16 year Sonny Malloy Single Cask.
Love to see people drinking more Irish Whiskey!
Great video thank you! Please do one on the Japanese whiskeys.
I would like to see the Spot Irish Whiskeys review! Thanks for the great videos
Wonderful assessment. Would love to see Japanese whisky next. Yamazaki 12 has been an intriguing complement recently to my bourbon-heavy rotation. Cheers!
The RB 12 Yr cask strength is phenomenal 🥰 Love seeing Trenton (Matt Damon) discover how great these are. Love it!!!
Great Show. Been looking at Irish but haven’t bought one yet.
I came home from a good day at work, paused the vid to crack open my St Patrick’s bottle of the 12 year and partook along with ya. 👍☘️
Great video! Love redbreast Irish whiskey from the moment I tried it in Ireland randomly. Ive had 3 of those so far on the table . Been wanting to try the cask strength and now Im even more excited to try it. Thanks for the time you put into these videos. I truly enjoy them and no one out there does it like you guys!
Love the 12-Year and would love to try the Cask Strength and 27-Year. My favorite Irish bar serves the 12-, 15- and 21-Year; Virginia ABC only sells the 12-, 21- and 27-Year.
Great show! Redbreast 12 was my entry pour about 4 months ago! I enjoy the 12, 21, and Lustau!
Great video! Love bourbon, but having videos like these expose me to new pours outside my usual. Would love to keep seeing videos like these or Scotch or Japanese Whisky, too. The education side is great as well!
Redbreast is good. The standard 12-year is a staple of bars, and it is a good warm-up or palate cleanser. I have the 12-year cask strength at home, and I've also tried the 15. They are all good, and I would love to try some of the others. If you want to spend some money, the Midleton Very Rare line-up has some good options. I have one of the cask strength versions that is finished in new Irish oak. I've never had anything else quite like it.
I have hundreds of bourbons in my collection and all but 3 are for drinking and sharing.
But this is my favorite video you guys have put out to date.
I am a huge Midleton fan boy. It is my favorite distillery with BT a close second.
Redbreast is my favorite whiskey lineup. Always have the first four open on my bar. The 15 yr and the 12 yr CS are my two favorite.
The 15 is $135
21 yr is $390
27 yr is $580
Dream Cask (do not have and not sold in US by Midleton) but cheapest I have seen was $1,200 but just looked and now tremendously more.
Their limited special editions are great. You can still find the Redbreast Kentucky Oak and it is 101 proof.
Would love to see you do the Spot lineup. I still need the Gold and now the new Quails’ Gate.
I bet Trenton would enjoy the Knappogue Castle lineup 12, 14, 16 and 21 are easily available around the US. Only 12 yr sold in my state so pick them up when I travel.
Would love tour take on the Powers lineup and get their new Rye so Trent will be happy (nothing like an American rye but delicious)
Appreciate the knowledge! Was not aware of the Quails Gate yet.
I have a Knapoggue 12 but that’s it.
@@slbdrinks the 12 is always open on my bar. My Irish Whiskey Club did a Zoom tasting with the Knappogue Castle Midleton Blender lest week. We tasted almost the full lineup
The single malts 12yr, 14yr, 16yr a never before sampled Midleton 23yr port cask strength and the 72 yr old bottle Knappogue Castle 1951 which is a 36 yr old single pot stilled. What a great evening
Great show guys. O really like Jameson right out of the bottle neat. However my new favorite is the Redbreast 12. Thanks
Redbreast is my favorite Irish Whiskey too. I waffle between Cask Strength 12 and 15 as which I would prefer, so I just keep both stocked, haha.
Great take as always, guys! Wondering if you have thought about tasting in reverse order...rarest/expensive to common/cheaper. I wonder if your mind is pre-conditioned to higher expectations as you go along?
Great video! What an amazing lineup of RedBreast! I was fortunate to try the RB 27 and it truly is a one if kind!
Love Irish Whiskey and love Redbreast! Thanks for going there and looking forward to more!
Love the review of Irish, always fun to see bourbon drinkers reactions to “malt whiskies. We are tasting through a bunch of Irish whiskies at different age ranges this month, and got to say as a bourbon drinker, I am liking them more than I would have thought.
Definitely do a video of the spots. Big fan of the Gold, Red, and Yellow spot. Also would be nice to see some Midleton, Powers, and Bushmills reviews as well.
I have the same problem Kurt. I like almost all whiskey. 😂
Loved the show!! Red breast my favorite! Please do more like this: The Spots, etc! Would love to see you take on them!
Would love to see a Spot whiskey review. I just got a bottle of their Green Spot Chateau Montelena, and it is one of my favorite whiskey's now.
Redbreast has become my favorite whiskey in the world. I bought it on a whim a few years ago and have collected all but 4 of the series. Missing the Kentucky Oak, 21 year, 27 year and the new Tawny Port.
First time I’ve seen this and great video. The 12 year cast strength is an awesome poor and agree. The 15 is smooth and delicious. Heading to Dublin Ireland this weekend and going to drink my fair share while I’m there. Keep up the great videos. I hope Trenton has bought that 12 year cast strength.
Redbreast is one of my favorites. I haven't seen - much less purchased - a 27 anywhere. If I ever do, I'll probably buy it to have the experience. RB is just fantastic whiskey.
I've never tried Redbreast. Actually went to Dublin and brought home some other whiskeys, but wasn't aware of this one. now i *must* try it
Great work gentlemen. Love the Redbreast lineup. Since Trent likes the Cask Strength whiskey….it may be hard to find….but Blue Spot is an excellent example. Give it a try if you can.
I am a bourbon/rye drinker, but I always have a couple bottles of Irish whiskey on hand. I love the 12 year red breast but a couple weeks ago I grabbed a bottle of the cask strength version and it’s on another level. I will always have Red Breast cask strength on my shelf right next to the Powers Irish whiskey. Cheers. 🥃
Where did you find a bottle of cask strength?
Great video, as always. Bourbon is my favorite category, too, but there are also plenty of Irish and Scotch whisk(e)ys that I really enjoy.
Would love to see a few episodes on the various regions. Taiwan, Japan, lowland Scotch, Highland Scotch, Islay, Canadian, etc.
Lol you’re about to turn them into a whiskey channel and it wouldn’t be a bad thing. Variety is the spice of life, Taiwanese and Japanese if you get the good stuff like Scotch is 🤤🤤
@Marcel Johnson haha not as a full-fledged ongoing incorporation into the channel but I actually like hearing how trent is curious about this test since it's so far from his normal realm. Just a quick 1 episode hit of each type and maybe a wrap up global comparison would be cool. Assuming most the viewers are more bourbon-centric, I think it would be great to bring that perspective to compare and contrast bourbon vs other whiskies. They were talking a bit at the end there about the different types of sweetness and how these aren't vanilla/caramel bombs like most quintessential bourbon.
@@xdaveleex always.
Loved this one! Very nice rundown of the various offerings from Redbreast. I have been interested in trying something from them but had no idea where to start. This gives me a great bit of knowledge to use when I go to the liquor store to pick up a bottle. Since my previous experience with Irish whiskey has just been the basic Jamesons and Bushmills, I am really looking forward to getting a bottle of Redbreast and enjoying it. Thanks for a great video!!!
I havent drank irish whiskey in years. Even then it was jameson, jameson 18, and i cant remember if i had any others. St. Patricks day i tried high and wicked, north cross i think it was (it was pretty good), and green spot, which i really liked. I been wanting to try more irish whiskeys, redbreast being one of them.
Red Breast 12yr is a must have in any collection!! Great stuff
Great video, I’m been wondering about Red Breast. Looking for some 15 year, thanks
Great episode guys!!! Can’t wait for Friday and the final brackets!
Great show !!!! I just purchased the Red Breast 15 year on St Patrick’s Day I’ve been hearing Kurt always talk it and his favorite the 27 year unfortunately can’t afford that one lol so I went with the 15 year and it cost me in Florida $100 and I’m really blown away with it !!!!!! Thank you KURT!!!!! for the turning me on to the Breast !!!!!!!!
Yep, let's keep exploring!
Great review, Red Breast is my favorite Irish whisky.
