Whiskey Wednesday

It was difficult to pick which whiskey I wanted to drink on my birthday, as I have a few special bottles that I haven't opened yet that are just waiting for a special occasion. But after careful consideration, I decided it would be Red Spot.  I have been searching for Red Spot since I started tasting Irish Whiskey. (It's kind of like the holy grail! ~ the elusive bottle that no one could find or get their hands on!).  Mitchell & Son's finally relaunched it recently, but it is still a challenge to get with all that's happened last year.


Back in November, I had some Whiskey club friends find out that a couple stores in Ohio had it in stock. I frantically called a girlfriend who lives out there and begged her to go buy it for me before they sold out, and she did on her lunch break. Talk about being a good friend! The excitement for it to arrive though, was almost unbearable!!!

It was so worth the search and wait for it. I have no regrets opening it for my Birthday! (Okay, maybe a little, but that's just because I always like keeping a bottle unopened!)  I loved it so much that I had to take it with me on my ski trip. It doesn't get much better than sipping such a special and delicious whiskey in front of a roaring fire on a cold night.  

Here's to a warm & sweet evening ๐Ÿฅƒ


Notes from Masters of Malt:

Nose: Stewed berries and red wine, with a touch of new leather giving it a savory edge.

Palate: Apple turnover, black pepper spiciness, caraway, blackcurrant jam, soft vanilla.

Finish: Lasting oaky warmth and a final hint of damson.

Tumbler: Waterford Round Lismore (Thank you to a fellow whiskey lover for this beautiful pair for my birthday!)

I like the red spot. Got to try the blue spot over the weekend, but still havenโ€™t been able to lay my hands on a bottle. But I like it. Love how the photo of you is close to how I described what I like about snow days, being snowed in and curled up by the fire with a loved one. Just wish I was there with you.

Slร inte Mhath. I picked up a bottle of Mackmyra Brukswhisky on a whim today, itโ€™s from Sweden and weโ€™re just getting acquainted, I didnโ€™t know the Swedes made whisky... I hope you have a very happy birthday ๐ŸŽ‰ itโ€™s my birthday a week from today โ™“๏ธ xo

Great way to toast your special day

I didn't even know they even came out with a Blue Spot. Good to know.

Ray Louie

Well then you can appreciate all my feelings! I just found that the whiskey exchange has it in stock ๐Ÿ’–. I also found that they were carrying Blue Spot, but it's out of stock ๐Ÿ™.

Jordan Ashley

Unlikely acquisition in our neck of the woods but I bet itโ€™s delicious like that nighty youโ€™re wearing...๐Ÿฅƒโค๏ธ Prost!

JohnJuan

Nice! Red Spot. Iโ€™ve been looking for a bottle to complete my collection.
