I...Thank you! A little Redbreast is good the soul.<br /><br />I have resisted adding to the whisky blog disgruntlement. I am in Tim's camp as far as how I feel about the whisky industries, and he's been knocking it out of the park with every post. My posts would wind up just being a bunch of grunts and F-bombs at this point.Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-76409785001833039372013-05-08T21:11:54.400-04:002013-05-08T21:11:54.400-04:00Goods points all.

I've heard from David Driscoll that BevMo has been getting first dibs on a lot of new bottlings (his main complaint was that they got first dibs on Pappy and BTAC in the state leaving even fewer bottles for K&L) so it's not surprising they got John's Lane first.<br /><br />Redbreast 21 is 46% ABV so the price shouldn't be too bad. I think if Midleton released this at cask strength then the price would go up.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13215982348779717643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-13519038582690392032013-05-07T19:20:46.609-04:002013-05-07T19:20:46.609-04:00I still owe you a debt of gratitude for getting me...I still owe you a debt of gratitude for getting me to re-try Irish whiskey after my unfortunate run-in with the oxidized Redbreast 12, Gor bless ya!<br /><br />And yes, it's been difficult not to get depressed by all the negative whisky blogs posted by Whisky Advocate, K&L, Scotch&Ice Cream, etc. At least I'll have my Power's at 43.2%!Joshua Lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803870395593634466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-32155602796061694092013-05-07T19:03:36.260-04:002013-05-07T19:03:36.260-04:00Yeah, lots of great news indeed!

So much great news!<br /><br />1) I would love to believe that the Redbreast 21 will be sub-$100, but in this current climate of whisk(e)y price inflation, I'm not going hold my breath.

Oh, I'm pretty sure it's still 12 years old but I only had a quick glance at the label.<br /><br />Sadly the last time I lost control over Irish whiskey, I ended up dropping three digits on a bottle of Barry Crockett Legacy.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13215982348779717643noreply@blogger.com
