They're both very good, but not worth the money, in my opinion. There's even rumours that they will be rebottled and sold off cheaper. The 12 yr old one is a cask strength and it's superb. But €850 for a 12 yr old cask strength whiskey? <div>

<br>
I was back in Ireland last week, and spotted a bottle of Green Spot with<br>
a brown label and a 10 on the front in Tigh Ui Neachtain on Cross St &<br>
Quay St. I asked how much is was for a shot - when the girl said "€20" I<br>
was surprised, to say the least.<br>
<br>
I see that there are two special bottlings of Green Spot for Mitchell &<br>
Son's 200th anniversary - a 10 yo at around €250 and a 12yo for €850 or<br>
so, both on sale from the Celtic Whiskey Store.<br>
<br>
So - my questions are, what are they like? Are they worth it? Anyone<br>
tasted them?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Dave.<br>
