Use to like the Redbreast and at the time I use to drink it, it was pretty much the best, better than any Bushmills three barrels or the now insanely priced Midleton which is like the standard JW Blue very average.There are so many grades and age statements for Redbreast. Seems like they are bigging up what's ultimately an Irish whiskey.
Did a serious amount of whisky in hot toddies over the last two weeks. Good job my sinusitis has abatted somewhat. Not buying any whisky this month. I've still some left mind you. Which reminds me of an interview with the late, great Brit comedian Bob Monkhouse who not long before he died, boasted how he drank half a bottle of single malt every day and a bottle of Bordeaux the latter with meals of course. When I first read that interview, I was like what a great way to be, and it hasn't done him any harm. He died about two months later.
Frank Sinatra, allegedly did a bottle of Jack Daniels everyday and he was certainly buried with a bottle.
Would like to give a final verdict on that JW Blonde: dreadful stuff. Give it a wide berth. If all else fails, you'll just have to break out the JW Red and hope for the best.
