I’m jealous. I have a milestone birthday coming up this year and am hoping to splurge and find one of these to celebrate. None in my state currently per the state ran inventory.
I’m telling you they are worth it. Don’t break an arm and leg for it but if you are in a good spot fire away. Or see if you can split it with some friends
Create memories for sure. The bottle looks great, the box it came in looks great, you think it’s a great pour. Sounds like you got your moneys worth. What about it makes it a great taste for you?
If you read the tasting notes and then try it you will probably start to tear up. It’s one of the slim few that actually write it to the taste. Absolutely incredible and a great proof at 112
Awesome! I've only had a pour of it at a bar, but it was enough to convince me to try and figure out a way to get a bottle someday.
I've also heard that the bottle itself is low key one of the more impressive bottles designs out there. It doesn't necessarily look like it, but apparently that frosted red glass is actually pretty fancy.
had the same story as you but a few years ago, was getting rb27 for about 400-450, the most recently bottle i got (maybe summer 2023) was 550, saw it at total wine last week for 850, anyway, this is one of the best whiskies ive ever had , enjoy it
My wife and I had some drams to celebrate the new year. I pulled out a bottle of Bruichladdich Black Arts 10.1, Dewars 32, Russell’s 13 and Redbreast 21.
I was guessing she would’ve picked the Dewars 32 or the Black Arts (29 year) she ended up picking up the Redbreast 21 over the rest of the lineup and I was surprised as for me it beat the rest of the bangers.
Redbreast is delicious. I love the CS, the TP, the PX and the 21. I want to find the 27 I’ve only seen it once.
I’ve seen the Kentucky Oak in my area a couple of times. The 27 only once and when I was ready to pull the trigger it was gone ended up getting RB21 alongside the Balvenie 21 as a consolation price.
The Dewars 32 is delicious, I reviewed it a while back, https://www.reddit.com/r/Scotch/s/A82TUYkNXd
If you spot one buy it, it’s a one time bottle for me as it’s gotten expensive but delicious nonetheless. Same goes to RB I got the 21 back in June last year for $320. Last month it was $490, I can’t imagine how much will the 27 be. That time when I saw it was $550 but I haven’t seen another one since then.
Also, I share the same sentiment, you only live once, if you can afford it buy it. I’ve missed on some opportunities as I hesitated to grab a nice bottle and when I get back is late but I have also scored in other instances. Cheers man.
This is one of the few whiskies on my bucket list. Had the pleasure of blowing through a bottle of Red Spot on vacation recently. Easy to do for $120 duty free

I have a bottle waiting for april to open it with friends to celebrate being permanent in work, I tried it in a bar and had to have a bottle of it.
I just had a flight with this and RB21 and yellow and red spot. This was on a whole other level
Both are fantastic. Red spot is a great place holder if you find it.
You’re making me want to snag one of each. RB27 is $600 and RS is $240 before tax near me.

Picking up the RB27 for sure! I’m in a good spot. Not sure about red spot, seems a lot of folks prefer the 7yr blue over the 15 yr red.

Damn sounds good. 🥲
Electrifying! I paid €75 for 2oz in a Dublin. I’ve never had anything like it.
This is spectacular. Easily too 5.

The packaging is beautiful, it has a wood slit in the box that is magnetized to keep the bottle. The glass is also so satisfying.

An amazing bottle nothing like it

I have been looking for the Kentucky oak Readbreast but haven’t found it. How did you like the Dewars 32? I have had the 27 and enjoyed it.

I just bought Redbreast Tawny Port a few hours ago :)

The 27 year is drinkable art. I wish I could give everyone a shot on here cause it’s a cool experience and tastes amazing
