    Need to try this store.
    Your pick was really good! I put 2 oz in a glass with a cane sugar cube and a Luxardo and let it rest for 10 min. Very tasty! Drank my first pour neat and love the heat of the Ludens. It’s what a cough drop should have tasted like.
    Keep it up!

    That Redbreast PX at $99 is a steal! The RBCS at $89 is a fantastic price too, especially if you can find any B1/21 lying around...absolute sherry and vanilla bomb.

    I was at this place maybe a few weeks or a month ago. The manager was a complete dick to me just because I wanted to buy more than one bottle out of the case, claiming it was limit one bottle out of the case even though there is no sign anywhere stating that. So I'm not surprised they haven't allowed you to film in there until now that you know someone that works there. I could tell he was trying to steer me away from a particular bottle in the case so I made sure to buy that one.
    Also they are expensive. That Redbreast 27yr is $600 everywhere I've seen it, these guys want $900 lol. And their Four Roses single barrel pick is $115 even though everywhere else charges $99 for their 4R picks. And I've seen a ton of 4R store picks everywhere recently.

    Thanks for another interesting vid. I've been to that store. It's gigantic. I'm not courageous enough to branch out to anything besides Irish and Scotch whiskeys. I don't care much for Scotch. It's interesting to hear your comments on the international stuff.

    I saw a Glenfarclas 17 for $156 the other day. The 105 was $136. Those prices you are showing are incredible. What's strange is that most other Scotch seem in line and nothing special. I want to thank you for the Method and Madness recommendation. I've only seen it once in my area but since it's another Midleton brand I know it will be on shelves soon enough. That's definitely on my list

    At 5:15 and 6:25 your mic muffles and we couldn't hear what you were saying about the whiskey. I think at 5:15 maybe you just forgot to turn down the music though. Just giving you all a heads up. Great video as usual though! 😊

    OK, I have a serious question. If you stopped buying any more bottles of whiskey today, roughly how long would it take to consume all the bottles in your inventory. I did my personal calculations and I am holding off on purchases. Like the vids of your hunts and reviews.

      @frankarev4920 really depends on how often/heavily I'm drinking. At the current rate (and assuming I'm not sharing) I would take me quite a few months, but probably not more than a year
