  • In this video I will put together a flight of my top peated single malt scotch from the past 6 months. Taste them blind and let you know what bottle I like the best. The bottle I like most will be crowned the champion!
    Flight giveaway:
    Winner will receive 8 2oz samples of peated scotch.
    You must be 21 years of age or older to win.
    Age verification will be needed to accept the giveaway.
    U.S. participants only.
    Shipping address must be in the US. I can't ship outside of the United States.
    Every $5.00 super chat donation will earn you 1 entry into the giveaway.
    Giveaway will open on March 29, 2024 and end at 11:59pm on April 3rd, 2024.
    Winner will be announced on April 5th, 2024 during my First Friday Flight Fight video and posted in the comments of this video.
    The winner of the flight will need to contact me by email at faspete@yahoo.com or you can DM on Instagram at whiskey_is_a_journey
    If I don't hear from the winner by April 12, 2024 the flight giveaway will be void and another person will be selected.
    If you win you can choose from any of the offerings from the previous peated scotch videos in the series. You don't have to have the exact peated flight presented in this video. It's your money and I want you to select the peated scotch bottles you want...not the bottles I picked.
    Octomore 13.2 will be automatically included into the flight and not count as one of the seven samples won.
    Good luck and thanks for supporting the channel.

    Hurray! Thanks, Peter! I can't believe I won! I see my great whisky friend, Robert Sheard, in the comments! He's been a wealth of whisky knowledge in my (new) whisky journey. I'm excited to receive the samples and I'll email you later this evening with all the shipping information and maybe just one or two substitutions. Thanks again for a great giveaway! Cheers!! 🥃

    So you really can't go wrong with the Ardbeg 10 or the Uigeadail. The fact that they're readily available (compared to the others) makes them the winners in my view. Great line up, thanks Peter 🥃

      @@whiskeyisajourney Yes, Ginny finds bottles in Lexington I can't find here and then I collect them on my next visit to the Bourbon Trail. Last time she visited me, I had her try several bottles from my collection and she did NOT like the peat. 😂 (She's an experienced wine taster.)

    • @whiskeyisajourney

      The comment that I deleted I got mixed up. I thought she won the peated scotch flight. My mistake. I hope she picks a banger flight. There are a lot of good bottles to choose from in the series.

    Nice flight Peter!
    Ardbeg 10 was the whisky that started me on my whisky journey and it did better than I was expecting!
    Over the last year my two favorite peat styles have become Kilchoman and Ledaig, both of which I didn’t like much when I first tried them.

    • @whiskeyisajourney
      @whiskeyisajourney  5 месяцев назад

      I am liking both of those as well. Looking forward to more Kilchoman. They have good distribution in AZ, but unfortunately Ledaig does not. I was impressed how high Ardbeg 10 finished in this flight.

    Interesting outcome on this one-surprised the peat on the Octomore didn't overpower the others more. Congrats on 7k!

      @whiskeyisajourney  5 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you William. I appreciate the support. I have you down for 2 entries. Best of luck! The peat on the Octomore is definitely there, but the balance of it does not overpower the other flavors of the whisky. You get more than just peat. Cheers!

      To me the Octomore is the cream of the crop when it comes to peated scotch. I don't say this much about expensive bottles, but I will pay the price they are asking for them in my area. Cheers!

    Turns out you were right, it's your favorite!
    If you've tried several Octomores which ones?
    I have the 11.1, which I'm underwhelmed by, an unopened 10.2, and a 14.3 which is amazing. I've also tried the Ten year old from 2008 at a bar which blew me away.

    • @whiskeyisajourney
      @whiskeyisajourney  5 месяцев назад +1

      I have the 13.1, 13.2, and 13.3. I like the 13.2 the most. I have not had any other Octomores other than these.

    I don’t understand what Springbank 18 is doing there, it’s barely peated.

    • @whiskeyisajourney
      @whiskeyisajourney  5 месяцев назад +1

      It won the round it was in with the other 18 year old peated scotches so I had to move it onto the finals. Since barely peated is still a "type" of peated scotch I had to put it in. But I completely understand what you are saying. At times I can barley notice the peat and especially in this fight the peat note was lost among the others.
