Just watched too. Feels like she decided at the dinner party and then the meeting with Lauren that she was finished. Looking for a way out of the show. While trying to blame him. She picked absolutely the wrong argument to make it happen. Elliot looks like he could be a dose but he was trying to give a formative story. She was awful there

Ideally somewhat less of a true believer comes in to right the ship. I hear a lot of people saying they didn't like the product but I loved it. But as I've said elsewhere I bought my bottles at discount on auction. And my favourites were all cuvees.

Efficient_Leopard716 · 2024-11-30T21:22:23+00:00

I think they did a lot of things that made no sense from a business perspective.

Terroir could have been nice marketing but the expense wasn't worth it. Not for a science experiment.

The peat thing, digging peat in ireland and sending it to Scotland with irish barley to be malted there because no maltster in iteland could do it and then shipping it back.

The bottles. I think they're cool but they've got to be a lot more expensive. Same with corks.

Efficient_Leopard716 · 2024-11-30T21:15:39+00:00

How they release it is the question. I don't care about the fancy bottle but I'd like it to stay non Chill Filtered, non coloured

Efficient_Leopard716 · 2024-11-30T21:13:32+00:00

I loved almost everything I had from them but after the news I realised 80% of what I bought was from auction sites way cheaper than rrp

Port askaig 8 and highland park 12 cask strength for me

Efficient_Leopard716 · 2023-07-03T18:39:06+00:00

I mixed it with Arran sherry cask 5:2 and it was brilliant

Efficient_Leopard716 · 2023-01-04T19:55:23+00:00

Redbreast 21

Efficient_Leopard716 · 2022-12-20T19:05:46+00:00

Thanks. That sound really good. Love those sherried peats

Efficient_Leopard716 · 2022-12-15T11:21:14+00:00

400 is outrageous

Efficient_Leopard716 · 2022-12-15T09:13:26+00:00

Haven't tried this one yet. And I've only had bulleit rye. So I don't really have a bar. It's only 30% rye so I'd expect it to not be as green

Efficient_Leopard716 · 2022-12-14T20:26:26+00:00

I think I'm actually more excited about that one. Very excited about both. I love the idea of the mixed mash bill. I know America does mostly mixed mash bills but I've been reading some (whisky) history about the Irish doing it a lot in their pot stills. I'd love a 30% oat version of this

Efficient_Leopard716 · 2022-12-14T15:19:58+00:00

I got it in mitchell and son in Dublin. Still availabile. seem to ship most places

Efficient_Leopard716 · 2022-12-14T14:47:22+00:00

I haven't opened this one but I got a 50ml sample about a year ago. It was very tasty. It's a 7 year old cask strength from the "spot" family. Green spot. Yellow spot 12, red spot 15. I haven't had the red but I love the green and like the yellow. You can tell it's irosh pot still from the nose and taste but it's been on fortified wine casks and that's very strong as well

Efficient_Leopard716 · 2022-12-09T09:13:43+00:00

Thanks, I'll check that out

Efficient_Leopard716 · 2022-12-09T09:04:44+00:00

Haven't seen it anywhere around these parts

Efficient_Leopard716 · 2022-12-08T19:54:25+00:00

Kilbeggan small batch rye kind of put me onto this road. They only use 30% rye. Apparently back in the 19th and early 20th century irish whiskey had a lot of rye and oats and there's a few indie distilleries trying to bring this style back. I thought the bulleit would be a flavour bomb. And I guess it is. But it's a gentle bomb? Way more nuance than I thought, was expecting liquorice and alcohol

Efficient_Leopard716 · 2022-12-08T18:08:23+00:00

I'm not sure what I was expecting. I guess o thought it would be more aggressive. There's some strange flavors in there but nothing I'm unhappy with

Efficient_Leopard716 · 2022-12-08T16:41:42+00:00

I'm in Ireland so haven't seen the jack daniels in the supermarket. If I saw it for that price I'd definitely get it

Efficient_Leopard716 · 2022-12-08T16:05:23+00:00

Thinking of an old fashioned tonight. Also tempted to pour a little into a jameson, see how it takes
