Hello Sir, Thank you, you have always had a role in my whiskey journey. I need to point out though, that the Irish Spot range is not essentially an independent Jameson. Yes the same distillery, but by being "Irish Single Por Still" it is defined and regulated and not an Irish blend. Thank you again for all your wise insights

I once found a single bottle of Red Spot in a duty free in Schipol airport. The single best Irish whiskey I’ve ever had; up there with the top shelf Teeling using the old barrels from Cooley distillery. It’s pricey but *well* worth it for anyone looking for top tier Irish whiskey. (Also, that vintage Green Spot looks incredible!).

Just watched your review Ralfy. Thank you so much. I bought a bottle after your review. And I took my first sip having only experienced the grocery store version of Jamesons. My eyes opened wide in surprise and appreciation of what was going on in my mouth! God bless you! About to try some redbreast single pot cask strength as well. Cheers to you mate, I can’t think of another person who’s opinion means more to me regarding whisk(e)y. Thanks again.

Much good malts coming from Ireland at the moment! A couple of years ago (not 16 though!) I tasted the Green Spot as my first Irish. After that came Teeling, Redbreast and Powers John's Lane. All wonderful pot stills with their own character. Dingle came out with their first port finished batch, but it was too sharp / young at the time and tbh I haven't tasted another Dingle since. Another thing: @ralfydotcom - you said when you were at Glenallachie distillery that you were going to buy several bottles of the 15yo and be reviewing it. I'm patiently waiting for that review!

I love Green spot. Favorite Irish so far. Very complex, and flavourful, especially considering the strength and how friendly it is. Totally a great beginner whiskey, but also great for advanced drinkers. Sweet (not savory), but not supersweet, nice mouthfeel. The notes (both on the nose and flavour) I find in it are rather similar than my favorite dry white wine. Stonefruit, green apple, pear, floral, melon, even a coconutty dry-ness. Besides the ever present buttery, vanilla, cereal, light caramel notes. I would consider myself a Scotch whisky lover. But I'm probably most defensive about Green Spot. And I find the bottle empties quicker than some of my others.

I only gave Irish a try recently too, Red Breast's 12 is a lot more affordable age-wise than Spot's offerings. Powers 12 was on sale on Amazon over black friday, so is worth keeping an eye on as time goes by. Don't forget the basic Bushmills 10, though. It may be a generic blend, but as an introduction to Irish, or a companion to other things you're trying, it's inexpensive - especially on sales - and well worth a shot.

Hi Ralphy, are you sure that single pot still comes from "one run of one copper pot" at 6:36?? It's a run but via three different copper pot stills, and just like single malt, can be "blended" with other runs of the same kind. The pot still type comes from the mash bill of >30% malted + >30% unmalted barley + no more than 5% other grains. Teeling does 50/50 for example: run through 3 stills, I saw it.

I just tasted through a mini sampler of Redbreast 12, Lustau and 15. I don't see the reason for excitement and certainly not for the high prices. Easy, smooth sipping? Sure. Nothing offensive... And nothing interesting, not engaging. It was certainly educational, I could taste how this style is the granddaddy of bourbon but in my opinion bourbon is the more interesting spirit (due to new charred barrels). And single malt is my favorite, whether Scottish or Irish. I'll have to taste again (never judge a whiskey by one tasting) but I don't see myself buying Yellow Spot for $110 US. And yes, I like all kinds of malternatives, rum, rye, cognac, you name it. Single pot still might just not be my thing. Incidentally, the 3-pack sample of Redbreast is priced locally $14.99, which makes it literally ~9% cheaper to buy a bunch of them than to buy full size bottles, which rarely ever happens, typically mini bottles are a ripoff in terms of price per unit. So for me this was a great way to go to try without spending on full bottles).

It was a bit amusing as I was at a store hours before the review came out and a lady asked for advice on what to get her husband. She told me what he likes and what he tried and I showed her a few suggestions from bourbon, Scotch and Irish and she picked Yellow Spot. Then I come home and see this review :) I hope the gentleman likes it and finds this video.

The spot whiskies don't fit in to the Scotch whisky definition system. The nearest you could get would be " single blend ". All of the spot whiskies are distilled by Jameson at Midleton Ireland and all are a blend of malted barley, unmalted barley and corn. Irish law limits the corn content to a maximum of 5%.
@alexk3088
@alexk3088 3 года назад
I don't think that "single pot still" can legally be a blend. It's distilled from a mash (like a proto-bourbon that it is). They might be able to blend casks and ages but only from that distillery and still, as I understand. I'd love to see a clarification if I got it wrong.

@@sav7568 actually, "single pot still" whiskey like Spot under Scottish whisky law would be a "single grain". "Single" means from one distillery and "grain" means from a mash of any grains. They don't have to be (and cannot be) from one grain. You can't ferment a mash of grain without at least adding some malt (unless you add enzymes). In fact, "bourbon" would be "single grain" under Scottish law. Sure, it's traditional to use column-distilled grain whisky in Scotland, but I don't think the law proscribes pot still grain, not as I read it.

Hi Ralfy, by blended of pot stills do you mean Scotch whisky single malt are a blend of pot stills due to the practice of using beer stills + whisky stills in one distillery? So far, only Loch Lomond has different models of pot stills for variety.
@alexk3088
@alexk3088 3 года назад
At Scotch single malt distilleries there are only pot stills. But they can be very different in shape. Just look up Glenfiddich still room as example. And it's the same for Irish single malt. Scotch is twice distilled (mostly), Irish is triple distilled. But big Irish distilleries like Middleton are not like single malt distilleries of Scotland. They make single malt, single pot still and column distilled grain for blends.

@@johngo3715 not Scotch. A "beer still" in the US is a column still (common in bourbon production), not allowed for Scotch single malt as far as I know. But they use a pot still for the first distillation of "low wines" and the mash is basically a beer, so the first still might be called a beer still, the second - a spirit still. Loch Lomond also produces grain whisky and blends, that's why they have Coffey stills. That makes them somewhat like Middleton. But I don't think anything but pot stills are allowed for single malt production in Scotland or Ireland.

@@alexk3088 beer still or low wines still. Different names but the same application. That's just like saying American whisky prefer to use the term single barrel while Scotch likes to use single cask. The point is, single malt Scotch distilleries mostly use 2 types of pot still for their single malt.

I just got a bottle of Green Spot and tasted it for the first time last night and was amazed by how damn good it was. If you told me it was a scotch instead of an Irish whiskey, I wouldn't have argued that!

@@martinbeen Most decent 12 year old single malts are in the $50-$70 range by me. I'm not sure why this Yellow Spot is at such a premium. I can get the Redbreast 12 cask strength for around $75.

@@xiamengbaby I buy my whiskies online here in Nederland. i always look for te ones that are on sale. Most i paid for a 12 year old is 37,50 Euro for a 12 year old, and that was a GlenAlachie 12 years. My mother bought for a birthday gift for my brother a Mortlach 12 years in the local shop there for 60 Euro, but on the site i shop it was 40 Euro.

Yes, sadly, they are rushing to catch up with the scottish - more sadly: at times, worse quality is even more expensive than Scotch. I guess that will normalize over time. On the other hand, I think Irish Whiskey overall deserves to be on par with Scotch! For my personal taste, it is a much better malternative than Bourbon. But that is really personal taste! I know the green spot - the yellow is on my “buy soon” list! blue and red … well … not easily available where I live, and freakishly expensive! By the way: The spot Whiskeys are branding wise stupidly named: If you want to buy them online, you find them not under “S” for “Spot” but under “G” for Green, “B” for blue, “Y” for Yellow and “R” for Red. Only very sophisticated shop systems give you all “SPOT” together. I find this to be a disadvantage. and finally a Malt Mention: Misty-eyed musers over malt-mashed mouthfulls
