a bit more of everything really.. thicker mouthfeel and a little creamier... plenty fruit .. lovely dram, but it is twice the price.. not sure that on a regular occurance i'd not rather have 2 12's :lol: (well maybe i'd take the 15) but yes its a fabulous drink and you do have to pay extra often to get extra in whiskies. quite special really, although the 12 for its price is bloody good tooQuote:

Have you tried and of the spot whiskies from Middleton? The 12 yr old yellow is very good.

Ive a fairly large collection at moment and out of room for more really
Yeah the 12yr plus Irish whiskies do tend to be a bit pricey, not helped by the exchange rate. The advantage of being in Dublin is at least you can sample it in the pub(when they reopen) before investing in a bottle.
From memory the yellow spot is smoother with less spice than the redbreast.

My first Belgian malt today.. Filliers Distillery this is...
12yr old with a year in oloroso casks.
A interesting thing.. not yet sure what to make of it, but it aint bad...

My friend that gave me the 15 , has a really large collection of wine, the only one I know who can compete with Marco. His good stuff in really heavy bottles is in a special temperature controlled 300 bottle cabinet.
He is moving and we had to transport the collection last night in our trucks. So many old Caribbean Rums too.
He pulled down a bottle of Red Breast Lustau and said next time your over you'll have to try this one.
I was looking at Redbreast when this popped up , still in price shock. https://www.caskers.com/redbreast-27...CABEgL4hvD_BwE
Ha, yes, the older ones go up in price pretty steeply.
That's a preey good sized wine cellar he has, especially as its tem controlled
Not a great picture but it holds 300 bottles and is still being refilled after the move .
Surprisingly compact.
I need another whisky shelf [emoji23]
