great video , bringing back good memories of a cracking couple of days at the show. the dream dram list is incredible and we found if you spent a bit of time engaging with the ambassadors they were generous and usually poured you a dream dram .
@@colinmcquade29 you know it Colin! So good to finally meet you lad, thanks for saying hey and so glad you enjoyed the show too. Hopefully see you again soon! Sláinte 🥃
No doubt you’ll have some exceptional drams to enjoy at the end of the month Liam! Thanks for tuning in with us in the meantime, we’ll hope to see you on the next one 🥃🥃
@@TheWhiskyBaron Not yet, I’m afraid. There are a few that spring up around me, mostly small ones put on by retailers. Nothing like this show, however.

@@NoteworthyWhiskythanks pal, we really appreciate the support! Definitely get down to Whisky Show 2025 - we can do some content together if you like 🥃🥃

I love the idea of being able to try these, but am also torn - what if you spend £100+ on a dram and find, like the Dalmore, that it was... meh? Or possibly worse, you try it and it's the best whisky you've ever tried? But you know that short of a lottery win, you're never going to be able to afford a bottle, and unlikely to get to taste it again?
I’ve had both experiences and I have to say, I’ve never felt hard done by. If the dram is amazing, I’ve had the rare privilege to try something I wouldn’t otherwise be able to. And if it’s terrible, I haven’t wasted my money on a bottle! A dram of something old and rare is always worth a punt IMO
Guys! I was about to buy that Dalmore, but now maybe I'll go for a Craigellachie 13 instead...😂😅. You could tell the poor brand ambassador lady felt a bit ashamed saying the price out loud. Oh well, looks like you sampled some gread drams, that's what it's all about!
I love Glenglassaugh, but would never leave a whisky in a PX quarter cask for 50 years. Probably an orphaned cask that was never ready for bottling or lost in the warehouse over the bumpy ride the distillery has had over the last few decades.
The quarter cask was just for a finishing period. I 100% understand why you’d feel this way as I was concerned for the same reasons, however, it’s my favourite of this lineup and a seriously sensational dram
ahah, on to serious stuff there, Jake....that Craigellachie sounds great, i was very close to try the 41 yo under the counter at W.L.P. but finally coudn't come back to the stand to get it, so just tried the new 23, the 19 & some others...On the Dalmore 40 yo I'm not surprised, I did shock once Richard telling him "there's a bit too much sulphur on the nose, don't you think ?" (lol), not the same batch you had I'm sure (as I tried it a long time ago, Richard does no longer attend this show), the palate was good, but I tried some 1973 & 1974 vintages that did beat it imho & also a stunning 40 yo Jura I wasn't expecting to be so good, not being a fan of the 30 yo much. Glenglassaugh 50 yo I haven't tried but have good memories of a 40 yo decanter back in the days...Also that Glengoyne sounds terrific ! Slainte !
thanks for tuning in and getting involved Greg! The Craigey was seriously impressive but the Glenglassaugh took 1st for me. Such a shame that RP doesn't attend these shows anymore, it would be great to have him presenting the likes of this 40Y/O. Hope to see you at a show one of these days! sláinte
@TheWhiskyBaron I can only wish as I'm all the way on the opposite side of the globe in Australia. Hopefully, I can coordinate the next trip to UK to coincide with the show.
really dream drams. totaly unafordable for a bottle. a privilege to taste such whisky's. i'm looking forward to an smws old and rare tasing in december.
We paid for some of the dream drams and were lucky enough to have some poured for us - not everything we tried is included in this video. Even at the dram prices though, it’s still a serious treat. Sampling a ~£10k bottle of 50Y/O for £100 is insanely good value!
I don't know what it is about Craigallichie but I haven't had one I like yet. I'm sure this one is better than the 13 and 17 though. Dalmore has good spirit but they tend to water it down and drown the flavor. I bet that Glengoyne is like syrup. 😂
that's a shame. the 23 is a different style to the 13/17 so maybe worthwhile trying that next. the single casks are insane but not always easy to get. agreed with the Dalmore and you're not wrong with the Glengoyne
Awesome stuff. Love how Posh Spice stays true to himself with the Dalmore. That's what the Whisky Baron & Uncut is all about chief 👌🏻
Wouldn’t have it any other way!
you know how we do JJ!

Omg. My thirst has been cranked up a notch. Thanks gents
Hopefully you’ve got something tasty to quench it before your next trip to Scotland! Sláinte Jan 🥃🥃
Yes, Craigellachie. The others can gather an eternity of shop dust as far as I’m concerned.
😂 not what I was expecting from 3 whiskies over 35 years old, but strangely the Craigey has drawn the biggest crowd. The others weren’t bad though!
What an experience!
Easily one of the best whisky days of my year so far. Have you been to The Whisky Show before?
@@TheWhiskyBaron never, but trust me I would love to be there one day. A bit difficult, as I’m on the other side of the pond.
@@pepebruno1672 we'll do our best to keep your thirst quenched in the meantime, but definitely try and get over for it at least once!

@@NoteworthyWhisky sláinte!
The Craigallachie for sure
Good choice! They’ve done a few great single casks these last couple of years - get down to a show and you might be lucky enough to try one!
@@TheWhiskyBaron I got to try and SMOS directors cut Bunnahabhain 44-year-old it was very nice
I loved it!

I am only here for the Craigellachie
Well worth it! I want a bottle now 😮
well you came to the right place!
@@IanBear1000 I've been eyeing up my 33Y/O single cask and it's getting dangerous
Knew it was gonna be a banger of a video when i saw that shirt 😉
Out of the 4 that Glengoyne would of earned my tokens 👍🏼
hahaha, love it. Glengoyne was sensational, good choice
Wow
Thanks for tuning in Kirby! Which would you choose if you could have any?
"How much would this bottle of whisky be?"
"Ehm.. about Twelve thousand pounds."
Hilarious
a little out of our budget, but certainly a pleasure to try!

I hope they give more than 10 ml pours though...or did you drink half already?
No, we halved each dram between the two of us. Very generous pours all around the show, especially with the dream drams
@@TheWhiskyBaron that makes sense!
@@adhominemsis-t.australisensis have you been lucky enough to attend TWS yourself?

You bastards lol I’m jealous..a lot.. that 50 yr 😮
My personal favourite. Seriously cool dram and so privileged to try it - tasting notes out on my Instagram already
really dream drams. totaly unafordable for a bottle.
a privilege to taste such whisky's.
i'm looking forward to an smws old and rare tasing in december.
a serious privilege; I'm still pinching myself! awesome - what's in the lineup?
@@TheWhiskyBaron i don't know untill the tasting.
@@erwinweening709 ah cool - a lineup full of suspense! given it's SMWS I'm sure it will absolutely slap. let us know how it goes! sláinte

It was quite light for the age - but a really decadent whisky nonetheless ❤
that's a shame. the 23 is a different style to the 13/17 so maybe worthwhile trying that next. the single casks are insane but not always easy to get. agreed with the Dalmore and you're not wrong with the Glengoyne
£130 a dram and the Dalmore is “smooth” 🤦♂️
😂 there’s definitely more to it than that. I’ve written tasting notes which will be on my personal Instagram and probably as a short soon
We were being polite, not worth it! 😂
