Which Irish Whiskey to Buy for Mixing? (under $30)
Jump to Connections
199,077 Views • Mar 12, 2021 • Click to toggle off description
In today's video, we're going to decide which Irish whiskey to buy for mixing cocktails! I've been mixing with the same affordable blended Irish whiskey for years, and decided it was time to put it up against some others in a taste test. There are some amazing Irish Whiskeys out there, but I wanted to keep it under $30 (US) to show that you don't need an expensive bottle to make a good drink. To help me pick the contenders, we took a poll to see what you'd recommend. The engagement was awesome - thank you to everyone who participated!

Blended Irish whiskey tends to be very smooth, so it can be easily overpowered by modifiers like liqueurs and syrups in a cocktail. What I'm looking for is a whiskey that will stand up in a drink, so Az and I will sip and pick a bottle that I'll then use in next week's recipe! Sláinte!

Thanks to all who participated in the poll! Here we showcase some affordable Irish Whiskey options for the specific purpose of mixing. You certainly don't need a pricey spirit to make a good drink! Hope you enjoy the video, and let me know if you like this sipping/tasting format. (Also thanks for your patience on the upload issues! Everything should be good now 👍). Sláinte, everyone! 🥃 🇮🇪

I’d highly recommend a trip to the slane distillery for those who are visiting Ireland. An hour outside Dublin and on the site of a lovely castle and the grounds of one of Ireland’s biggest summer music festivals. Slane is a lovely town too.

I’ve said this before, but I really love your guys’ laid back style! This felt like hanging out with you two and I smiled the whole time. This inspires me to plan to do a tasting with my (fully vaccinated) friends soon! Cheers!

I’m not Asian at all, but I turn VERY red and hot when I drink…I appreciate you schooling us all on the flush! Never pressure anyone to drink more than they want (or at all). Loved this taste test!

We're an Irish brand so it's great to see you repping our popular blends! The reason potstill is named as such is kind of murky but mostly to do with distinguishing our whiskey from scotch malts after the English put heavy taxes on Malted barley and we discovered that the blend of Malted and Unmalted made a deliciously silky, oily and spicey whiskey! It also never touches a column still, staying faithful to the copper! Interestingly Slane gets a bad rep over here but the bottling is lovely and the distillery is great craic to visit!

Anders and Azusa this was amazing! It such a great episode with a lot of fun facts. Since I can't get Clontarf, Powers, and Slane, it was interesting to see the review of these three whiskeys. I enjoyed your episode a lot! Slàinte

Can we just talk about the great production quality for a sec? The sound design, editing, great mic quality (no idea if concealed lavalier or a shotgun mic), properly divided sections in the timeline, great video description. And all this seamless hard work and attention to detail, on top of just great content! It was very confusing when I said to myself "why haven't I seen their videos before?" and was very surprised to see you only have close to 4k subs... It is a crime not to sub to this channel. Thank you for your hard work! Keep up the passion and keep flashing those wonderful smiles <3 Gotta like every single one of your videos now, I'll be right back.

I'm just going to say 3 things: 1. I recently found your channel and it's quickly become one of my favorites. I am working my way through all your past videos and they are always informative & entertaining. Keep up the great work! 2. I, like a few others, was surprised that Bushmills was not included. 3. Az needs to be in every video!

Totally loving the channel. Just found you and have picked up several of your recommended bottles. The sampling vids with you and Az are great - very much like we're all hanging out in your bar room. Thanks and cheers!

You two are amazing, thanks for helping me on my cocktail journey. My alcohol journey started with whiskey, and i would say I'm relatively knowledgeable about the topic. That being said i certainly learned quite a bit in this video. Love you both!

Great video! I'm surprised no Bushmills! I really enjoy the Black as an everyday sipper which is very affordable - better than most low-end Scotch. White and Red are good if Black isn't available. For those higher-end Irish, I agree, Redbreast is easily an excellent one and Spot is equally as good! Both better than many Scottish or Japanese! I assume there are some better than Redbreast or Spot, so I would love to see a higher-end version of this that showcases their qualities either neat or on-the-rocks! Cheers!
