Great video Wade. Lots of whiskies I haven’t had on this list in the buy category.
Thanks Phil! Hopefully some gems in there that are of interest to you and that you can find in NZ. Cheers 🥃
Great video, your honesty is appreciated!
Thank you Paul, only way to be!
Love the format. Original! Well done !
Glad you enjoyed it my friend, appreciate the feedback 🥃
What a great video! I really enjoyed that the format allowed you to quickly run through many uniques IBs that may not get much airtime because no one on youtube has tried it.
Glad it was helpful! 🥃
Thank you for checking it out and taking the time to comment 😊
Hi Wade, a really good format, enjoyed watching it. Certainly something different. Slàinte 🥃👍
Thank you David, glad you enjoyed it! I really like putting together these yearly reviews, but they take a very long time!
Cheers mate 🥃
Great, dynamic video! Some gold in here. Thanks for taking your time to put this together!
Much appreciated brother! Will try to allocate some time and see if I can get chapter markers in it.
@@McIntyresMalts honestly this is so dynamic that I didn’t miss it at all. Maybe a marker for each different distillery/bottler, that would be useful for rewatching after specific bits. A marker for each bottle would be crazy! 😜
When I suggested that I thought this would be a much longer video. Cheers!!
@@canal-do-guga-namura Thank you brother, I'm glad the format was easy for you to digest! 🙌
What a PHENOMENAL video! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Some surprising reactions in there for sure, but that's the beauty of whisky :) Cheers Wade!
Thank you for the kind words Miles 🥃
Yes I would be VERY surprised if someone had the EXACT opinions as I do for every whisky. Just some fun and hopefully valuable content!
Wow! Thanks Wade! Excellent video 👏👏👏
Glad you liked it my friend 🥃😎
Probably agree with you on most of those Wade. Great concept. I’ll have to go back and check out part one.
Thank you mate! I know not everybody will agree with my choices as we all have different palates, but hopefully it brings some value for you when considering the next whiskies that you want to purchase.
Definitely check out part one, entirely different list of whiskies in that one too. Cheers 🥃
Fantastic video Wade. 167 to 169 Waubs Harbour we went on the distillery tour this week. Highly recommend. You are spot on I think this is one to keep an eye on in the Tassie whisky scene. Also out of the tasting we went for the Port Storm to take home!
The tour would have been great, it looks like an amazing distillery and the whisky coming out of Waubs has definitely impressed me!
That was great wade nice u spent the time doing this vid!!
I agreed with all the Nikka wade!! ✔️
Sounds like I’ve gotta give Morris ago!!! Aussie!!! 😊
I want to comment more on others but my comment will be from here to you!!! 😅
Nice vid liked 🥃👍🏻
Thank you brother! I know our tastes don't always align, but should be some good stuff we both would enjoy in here 🥃
Epic. Thanks Wade!
Thank you Ryan 🥃
Great video. Totally agree with your opinions on the Talisker 25. Great whisky but the 18 is the sweet spot for me too!
Thank you my friend, glad you agree!
Talisker 25 cask strength (till 2009) are another level. 2008 is my favourite whisky ever !
You are a machine Wade, keep it up!
Might need a dry February after that though 😂
Thanks Paul!
I think this is a great way to go through all the whisk(e)y. Running a review channel you can't get to everything, but you can still let people know what you think. Nice job! We agree on a lot. I am excited about Kilchoman and think they are going to do well for me in 2024. Cheers Wade. Looking forward to 2024.
Thank you Peter, it's a lot of fun doing this format albeit a lot of work (both drinking and editing 😂)
I am looking forward to trying the new Kilchoman PX matured release this year!
Yeah, Wade, that was pretty interesting from my point of view. I buy from the same domestic market as you so I recognise most of those whiskies, although I certainly haven't tried them all. It's useful to get opinion about what is "meh" and not worth bothering with, particularly with Scotch whisky (new distilleries, new core ranges, special editions, etc). Now get to work on your 2024!
Thank you my friend, already underway, currently at 11 new whiskies tasted so far in 2024 😂
Great whiskey channel, I love the passion you convey in your videos. Great job Wade, greetings from the country of Pedro Ximenez.
🙌 Hola mi amigo!
Thank you for the kind words 😊🥃
10.1S/bottle this is a great format to transfer your personal preferences to us quickly!
Thank you for letting me know you like it! Cheers 🥃
This is a nice watch. It's good to know not all 'rare' or old or expensive whiskies are good and there are some absolute sleeper bangers out there. Cheers Wade, let's see you increase the number in 2024 😃🥃
Thank you my friend! Hopefully you found some gold in there to add to your list!
The only thing keeping me from increasing the number this year is knowing how much editing I will have to do if I go too hard in 2024 😂
Awesome. Pretty sure I had the bakers with you😊
You did! You ordered for us in Baxter Inn ❤️
Wade good choice , interesting video .Cheers !
Thank you for the kind words my friend!
@@McIntyresMalts I like your review , good loock mate )
Quite a year Wade! Good Stuff brother!
A very good year indeed! Cheers my brother 🥃
really enjoyed watching this
Glad you enjoyed, thank you my friend!
you have a new subscriber@@McIntyresMalts
@@RomainRiviere thank you my friend, appreciate you being here 🙏
So many whiskies ! I didn't catch Deanston 10 Bordeaux Cask. I only have seen your unboxing video. I can get it for 40 Euros and at that price it's superb !
I haven't got around to trying it yet! Will likely make it into this years video 😊
Nice one Wade. Iv added the Loch lochond 12 to the list to try.. any thoughts on it versus the Inchumurrin and Inchmoan ? They all seem to be 12 years.......
I have not tried the Inchumurrin and Inchmoan, I haven't found them easily available here in Australia, but will let you know what I think once I do manage to track them down!
@@McIntyresMalts Cheers !
I liked the fact you touched on so many bottles and quickly very entertaining, I would just say skip on bottles deny seems so harsh 😂
Fair point, buy Try, Deny, Buy rhymes 😉
Thanks for checking it out Arnold! 🥃
Hey Wade,
many thanks on your thoughts and opinions once more!
Without arguing about some few things we disagree on, i´ll use this as confimation about some stuff i have on my very shortlist to buy withing the next visits of my favourite shop: Kilchoman Sanaig, Kilkerran, GlenAllachie 15. You seemed to be free of any doubts when it came to these ones.
One suggestion from my side:
Should you get your hands on a Tamdhu Ambar 14 from their travel retail series i highly recommend it to you. When you prefer the 12 over the 15 year old, i have an idea where you´re coming from and that´s why i say, you´ll find the Ambar 14 to be an ever better version of the standard 12 and pretty different from the heavier, darker 15.
Slainte from Germany,
Michael
Co-sign on all those 3 you have on your shortlist Michael, have bottles of all currently 👌
Thank you for the heads up on that Tamdhu 14, I hadn't heard of it so it will be interesting to see if it is available in this country and I can track it down.
Cheers my friend!
Some really interesting whiskies. Interesting about that Casa Da Vinos Jura bottling 😮
Like nothing else I have ever tried, very odd but definitely engaging because of it. Have you tried that one?
@@McIntyresMalts Nah, I haven't. I tend to stay away from Jura, lol. I wondered why Casa continued with the bottling? Surely they received samples & would've said "this tastes like shit lmao".
@@jimmyjazz4605 😂 I'm sure there are some people who would love it, there is a whisky for everyone!
2023 was my year of Ardnamurchans... was blown away by the cask strength releases and went through 3 bottles 😂. Also honourable mention to Pokeno from NZ for their winter malt!
Got three Ardnamurchan expressions, but yet to open them. Trying not to open all my bottles at once 😅
A lot of people have complained about the new Ben Nevis 10 I have an older bottle and I really like it hints of sulfur and dry fruits. I have 4 bottles on different Carn Mors and I love them all its a great IB brand. Glentauchers, Glenallechie and Craigallechie have been my favorites of late.
Oh yeah I absolutely LOVE IB Ben Nevis, stunning stuff and have a few special bottles of it stashed away. The standard offering is a shadow of its former self as I hear the Japanese owners are milking it for all the quality stuff being bottled as Japanese whisky.
All the others you mentioned are really good in my books too!
Yeah step your game up Ben Nevis and what a run of whiskies mate some rippers drops in there and stoked for you the channel is doing well and good to see a bunch of Ozzy drops in the line up@@McIntyresMalts PS I tried the 14.1 Octomore and omg smoked maple bacon juice its on the list for Christmas...
@@Dan-hn1lx Thanks mate! That Octomore sounds delicious!
I got a single malts of scotland Ben nevis 9yr cask strength that was simply phenomenal, which I rarely see the Ben Nevis the official releases, but the SMS was good stuff.
Agreed, the core stuff is pretty average, but some absolute gems in the IB's
for the Octomore, only the X.3 are the ones worth getting. theyre still heavily peated and cost more but they have a lot of character from the local terroir that the X.1 and X.2 are lacking. id look for a whiskey or cigar bar somewhere that carries it. the 14.3 was a really good one i skipped the 13.3.
Appreciate the heads up on this!! Sounds like I will need to sample the .3 expressions and see if they are more to my liking.
Cheers 🥃
Comment on naked malt for buy or deny
Deny for me personally if I can only pick between buy or deny, but definitely a try whisky.
Really depends on your preference and budget.
You have to try the smos oarkney 12 cask strenght i think its better version than 13 one
Yeah the 13 is 48% so keen to see what the cask strength is about!
where is part 1? interesting whiskies! :)
Right here my friend! ruclips.net/video/0fkyJ2F1fOo/видео.html
Hey Wade thanks for the video. On your comment on highland park OB vs IB, did you try a highland park single cask expression yet?
I've had the 12 and 18 yet, which didn't impress me. But i tried a 15 year old single cask with 1st fill european sherry oak, which honestly is up to the best whisky i ever had.
I have not tried a HP single cask yet, sounds like I need to in 2024!
I will order some HP 12 single cask with 1st fill european sherry oak soon in hope it gets close to the HP15 single cask i had XD. If you are interested curiositiy public made a drinkthrough to some HP and had HP 12 single cask with also 1st fill european sherry oak, which i can recommend you to watch. Cheers@@McIntyresMalts
@@McIntyresMalts tried the highland park 12 single cask austria editon 2 now. 64.4% 1st fill european sherry hogshead it's phenomenal. Without doubt one of thr absolute best whisky i ever had. It has everything but well rounded and still every nuance is also very intense. It is comparable to the 15 single cask i had.
@@Dai240888 Sounds incredible! I will see what I can locate in my market to try a HP single cask!
If you have trouble finding one i could order one for you from where i am and send it to you. The HP12 cs costs less than 120€ here and sending the package should not pass 50€ XD@@McIntyresMalts
Hey Wade it's always interesting seeing other people's perspective, tried all the glengoynes and Waterfords you mentioned, wasn't impressed with any of them to be honest. Interesting you think the tamdhu 12 is better then the 15, I also agree , the 12 is so hard to beat for the price.
It's part of the wonder of the spirit and the subjectiveness of taste isn't it.
Yes, I think that is why the 12 shines to me, it's just too good value and the 15 doesn't improve enough to warrant the price jump, even though it is good.
Cheers! 🥃
@@McIntyresMalts 100% agree, I'd like to try the 18 year. It quite expensive tho
@@jgarner447 Will be cracking open my Tamdhu 18 soon and recording a My First Time Video!
@@McIntyresMalts nice, looking out for that one for sure
Thank you for the quick run down. Save a lot of unnecessary anguish.😅
Haha my pleasure mate, the anguish was in the editing! 😂
@@McIntyresMalts understand you're a chef. Perhaps the next video you can do is "what do we do with the 'deny' bottles, if we somehow have one and come to the same conclusion. Use it to feed the pets perhaps ....
@@vktay3198 Was a chef in my younger years, and cooking / marinating with those 'deny' whiskies would be about the best option, second to that would be give to someone else with a palate more suitable to those flavours, and final option would be to clean out your drains with them....
Part of doing these types of videos is hopefully helping to steer people with similar palates to mine away from as many of the 'deny' whiskies as possible.
What are the 'deny' bottles you have?
What a good idea !
Suscribe !
Thanks and welcome 🥃
I'll only tentatively disagree with the Amrut Fusion being a DENY. Perhaps it's a batchy product? ...which would certainly add some reservations to my mind. However the miniature I had was something like an 85/100. But then again, I generally don't have strong feelings about a bottle with just 2 sessions.
Amrut Fusion was a try my friend 😊
Fabulous video! Now u may need a liver detox!
Thanks Christine! Yes I definitely need some annual leave 😂
@@McIntyresMalts Lol! 🙂
Everyone says arran 10 as best value, I can buy it for AU$100
I can get other 10 year old whiskies for that price, ardbeg, port charlotte on special, craigellachie 13….is it worth it if that’s my market?
Thank you
Hello mate!
I will say personally if they were all available for $100AUD I would take an Arbeg 10 or a Port Charlotte 10 over the Arran 10 because they are my preferred flavour profile, BUT what I will say is that the Arran 10 is presented on the same quality level as those you mentioned and if you like a sweeter Speyside type style then the Arran 10 will not let you down.
Hope this helps!
