- We all love a bit of a challenge this time of year. And Andrew at Prestige Liquids WW / @prestigeliquidsww is generally where a lot of these challenges begin. Please check out Andrew's channel in the link provided.
Well this time, the challenge came to me through our good friend Greg / @gregswhiskyguide and I was pleased to accept. Here are my picks. The categories were:
.Everyday Dram
.Impress Your Guests
.A Mixer
.Friday Night Sipper
.Special Occassion
I found them fairly easy to pick but...I guarantee that I would pick five different whiskies next week 😃😄
Now I would like to know what my friend Al / @whiskeystraightal would pick. Check out his and Greg's channels for further reviews.

interesting Thanks for the plug
Cheers Gav. No worries.
Good choices Jim
Like you I really like the Glen Turret doesn’t get enough plaudits .
Top channel 👍Cheers 🥃
beautiful list 👏👏👏 Cheers!
have to agree that bourban's are really close with tasting notes. Still love them. Scotch seems to have way more variations.
Found your channel thanks to Geoff at G Whisky and now I'm a subscriber! Great list, I'll be happy with all of them in their respective categories!
Al is a popular guy as I challenged him as well 😃🥃
1. Compass Box Spice Tree 2. Bunna 18 3. Bushmills Black Bush 4. Glendronach 15 5. Mortlach 20
Good call Tom 👍
Great list!
Cheers Kenneth.
Good selection Jim. Never had the 1797 but then again not a bourbon drinker
Fair enough mate. Cheers.
Nice selection big guy👍
Cheers Willie.
Great choices. I need to try me some Red Breast
Cheers Simon. Yes...you do 😉
Good list...great list however,
Cola? Really? I totally agree that bourbon is just bourbon and I only pour a dram rarely. Maybe one for every 50 drams of malt.
And when the bottle ceases to impress it gets relegated to mixers. But I only do Ginger beer or vermouth. I drank a lot of Manhattans before switching to single malt.
It's only in later years I've got into bourbon and cola Matt. It's just a sweet change every now and again buddy. Especially if I fancy a drink but not beer or neat whisky.
Cheers.
Thanks for accepting the challenge, Jim.
Unnecessary to say you made some interesting choices... and unsurprisingly the third one is a bourbon. I'm there with you.
Slàinte mhath
Thank you Frank.
Slàinte buddy.
Hi Jim, good list video, enjoyed watching it 👍. Slàinte 🥃
Thanks David.
Slàinte.
Enjoyed the video Jim. I would have gone Bunnahabhain stiuireadair, Lagavulin16, Wild Turkey 101, Loch Lomond Inchmoan and Springbank 15. See you soon hopefully!
Cheers Stephen (sorry, can never remember if it's a "ph" or a "v" mate 😬😄)
Good choices buddy.
And yes, hopefully our paths will cross soon again.
I'm with you regarding Bourbon. Goes well with cola & ice. I can't get excited about it.
I used to enjoy it more Peter. It's just all so "samey" to me now. Cheers buddy.
Thanks, Jim ! Well done...
🙏 thank you Greg.
Nice choices mate. Challenge accepted. Cheers Jim.
Cheers Al. Look forward to it mate.
Finally, I have a use for bourbon besides cleaning my paint brushes! I always felt a little guilty about using it for that. 😉
🤣🤣🤣🤣 cheers Mike.
Bourbon: The high-fructose corn syrup of whiskies.
I'm in the US. I generally agree with bourbon and I know your selection in Ireland, Scotland, England etc., Is much more limited. Once you get into some of the higher proof stuff and craft stuff, you start to pick up differences and unique profiles. That being said, I don't get as excited for new bourbon releases or new (sourced) brands coming to market because it's all coming basically from the same place.
Cheers Marc. Don't get me wrong buddy...I do still enjoy my bourbon neat from time to time and, I know there are some great examples out there. I just don't turn to bourbon in the way I used to anymore.
Spot on Jim, did you get the parcel ?
I did Reuben thank you. Been meaning to get in touch to tell you mate. Very generous, very much appreciated buddy. I'll wait till these postal strikes are over and I'll get something over to you.
Thanks again mate 🙏
