Redbreast Lustau Edition

Quick hit: Light; spice; funk [Whiskyfest 17]

A touch of cream and honey with a long finish. A drop of water opens up the vanilla notes but minimises the fruit. Very much enjoyed.

The score for this one on Distiller wasn't the highest so I held off buying for a fair while. If in doubt I consult josh aka http://thewhiskeyjug.com as he's someone who seems most uncannily to mirror my taste in whiskey. He loved it so I dove in for $80usd a bottle and was very happy. Having thought about it I really shouldn't have hesitated as Irish Potstill and Olorosso Sherry bombs are two of my 3 favourite whisky styles (Islay peat rounds out the trifecta) and I haven't gone wrong with any potstill out of Middleton yet (ok Greenpot didn't wow me but not a fail). This ticks all the right boxes. Creamy potstilish viscosity, spicy sherry. Great drop...now not perfection there is a slight note that sometimes doesn't ring true at the end but definitely a 4.25 at least
