whisky review 123 - Redbreast 12yo Pure Pot Still Whiskey

... a rare example of a traditional style of Irish Whiskey involving the distillation of malted and un-malted barley.
Scotch Whisky uses only malted barley.

Great review. I was wondering if your familiar with a gin called Broker's? If so, what do you think of it?

I enjoy your video's so much that I'm now inspired to create a whiskey collection of my own. I've had Connemara and really enjoy the peated whiskeys. Is there a Scotch or Irish that you'd recommend, peated or not, that you just happen to like a lot and is a must for any collection?

start with Springbank and look out for any Independent Distillers bottlings which seem to be selling well.

Good luck.

Raffy, Broker's Gin is excellent in my opinion, but as I've learned a great deal from you, and value your opinion, I wonder if you might decide to enjoy it, and review it. Cheers. Drinking Extra Old Mt. Gay right now.

For centuries we prospered, with sensibility in all aspects of life. Now we're all insane, completely afraid of everything, and the world is going to hell. Coincidence?

Great reviews btw. Love the background and historic discussion.

These videos rock.

Ive still only seen about 30 of them so far.

I opened a bottle of this today. It's quite green on the nose as you say, with green apple being the predominant scent coming through. With water it opens up and displays a toasted oat quality on the palette, as well as a hint of brown sugar. If I could compare the sipping experience with water to anything, it would be to eating unsweetened apple crisp. The (green) apple is there, the toasted oats are there, and the (subtle and not syrupy or sweet) brown sugar is there. Vanilla and lemon also.
