Went to see a buddy of mine play at a local winery this afternoon. The small glass is a bourbon infused wine of some type...I don’t recommend it lol.

I haven’t had blue yet, but the green is my favorite of all the other JW’s. My FIL is a big fan also.
Finally getting to taste this magnificent specimen of whiskey! This is a reason to drink!
Love Blue but Green is the only blended malt they make and pound for pound the Green is tasty.
My favorite of the whole line is the 18, but I haven’t tried double black yet.

I may not have had that one either. Did that replace one of the other colors at some point?
I don't believe so. The switching around happened with the gold and 18 labels. The Double Black is supposed to be more smokey. I really wanted to try it when I was starting out and couldn't find a small bottle of it. Now I figure there's plenty of smokey single malt so I might try it in a bar some day but don't see the need to buy a full bottle.
Double black is also quite good. 18 use to be Platinum and before that 18 was the Gold Centenary Blend. I have a bottle of the Platinum and the Gold 18 but not the “new” 18....

I knew Platinum replaced another color but couldn’t remember which one. My FIL has most of them I believe.Double black is also quite good. 18 use to be Platinum and before that 18 was the Gold Centenary Blend. I have a bottle of the Platinum and the Gold 18 but not the “new” 18....
I‘ve never tried any of the “Spots” but I’ve heard a lot of good things about them - the guys on The Whisk(e)y Vault/Tribe always speak highly of them.
I was spoiled and was gifted this from my boss for Christmas …I have partaken a little over the past week.
I am high on Irish Whiskey. Just love the smoothnes of them. Yellow Spot to me is light buttery taste in the beginning...maybe caramel...but finishes off fruity...like peach. It's some really good stuff. Comparing it to Redbreast 12 it is lighter than RB from start to finish. RB to me is much sweeter and from start to finish I get caramel and butter...but still has that whiskey warmth.
Sounds like I have to add it to my try soon list!
