Often a new label doesn't mean changing the liquid inside. <br /><br />By the way, it's interesting to note that pure pot still (because I like the old name) is also triple-distilled because those unique flavor notes don't appear in the second distillation so the third distillation brings out the character.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13215982348779717643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-67085408630368163512012-12-16T00:09:02.080-05:002012-12-16T00:09:02.080-05:00That's cool!

I wonder if they've changed recipe's ratio of ex-bourbon to ex-oloroso or it's remained the same.Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-36798939172751022922012-12-15T02:10:36.125-05:002012-12-15T02:10:36.125-05:00I actually need to get a new bottle of the 15.

I purchased a bottle when it first showed up on US shelves and a year later Pernod Ricard decided to update the packaging meaning my bottle and box have the old labeling (which I liked better). So I might as well hold on to it as a minor curiosity in the collection.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13215982348779717643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-3953520518615268732012-11-30T11:22:28.405-05:002012-11-30T11:22:28.405-05:00Absolutely to both.

Well not exactly "currently", as I try to stay away from a whisky breakfast on a work morning -- tempting as that may be.Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-54197915847814270512012-11-29T21:39:36.588-05:002012-11-29T21:39:36.588-05:00It worked out well actually.

Redbreast has enough flavor that it doesn't get masked by the coffee.<br /><br />By the way, any plans to review the Cask Strength or 15?Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13215982348779717643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-21696822756449265082012-11-29T11:30:50.607-05:002012-11-29T11:30:50.607-05:00Actually that sounds fantastic.

If their marketing department ever wants to try to expand the brand to less experienced whiskey drinkers, they should definitely pitch that.Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-10643759360573310022012-11-26T01:04:49.159-05:002012-11-26T01:04:49.159-05:00Okay, there's something I want to get off my c...Okay, there's something I want to get off my chest. I used Redbreast 12 in an Irish Coffee and it was magnificent. Of course neat in a Glencairn is the best way to drink this but that day I wanted an Irish coffee and this was the only Irish whiskey in my cabinet.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13215982348779717643noreply@blogger.com
