Walsh Whiskey was the logical choice so we've got the Copper Pot, Double Oak, Cask Strength and Mizunara Cask Finish to look forward to. Also got a really nice Writers Tears notepad and pen, badge and a few beer mats.

Drank the MVR Barry Crockett last Sunday, Powers John Lane on Tuesday, Green Spot on Friday and the RB12 last night then. I'd rate them in order of preference, MVR BC, RB12, PJL and GS. Not sure what it was about thr green spot but I struggled to drink it, just did not taste nice to me at all. The John Lane was a little too peppery for me, it was good and id happily drink a gifted bottle but I wouldnt buy a bottle. Redbreast was just so easy to drink, I've had it a few times and I really enjoy it, could be a dangerous bottle to have on the shelf. The BC was excellent as I said in another post, still trying to convince myself to pull the trigger mind. I'd have no hesitation buying that pack again though. Did someone else say the BC alone is €25 for that little bottle so 35 quid the lot is incredible value.
