I come back here every now and again. Simply one of the best videos on RUclips. Cheers Ralfy!
Ralfy, you dont take it for granted that we're watching. well we dont take it for granted that for our entertainment and education , you were spitting out videos like a clockwork every 3 days for the past years.let me say that you are my no.1 source of youtube entertainment.
Well said..
Here here
***** 2nd that!
No other video on YT that I look forward to than a Ralfy Vlog!
A good video to put ya warm tartan slippers on, have hot buttered toast & put ya feet up & have a wee dram... or rum or gin or any other spirit for that matter!
Long may you prosper & look forward to the next vlog.
Love it!
Slainte Ralfy
Extremely well put Antoine. It's always a delight to pour a glass and have a drink while watching the latest video. Thanks for everything Ralfy.
yep. this statesider loves your reviews Ralfy!
There are many whisky reviewers on RUclips but you are the only one who can actually describe the experience of a specific spirit to the point that I can almost taste it. You inspired my interest in scotch whisky and I thank you. Well done! you deserved that Ardbeg dram.
Lovely music at the end by the way.
. . . happy to help with the malt-moments matey !
Absolutely lovely composition for the main video, and really loved the brilliant bottle and dram among the rocks shot! World class! Och, aye!👍
Still watching!!! Much love to you
Simply put, you are my very favorite of this whiskey ritual I have developed in a large part around these reviews. Like a meal cooked from a great chef or a song from the lips of a great singer; there is a visceral satisfaction in being in contact with someone doing a job with deep affection and unbounded enthusiasm. Beyond the malt mentions and marks is the beauty of seeing someone doing what they were intended to do.
From Brooklyn, NY a hearty congratulations on 500 and a heartfelt thank you for the education, entertainment and inspiration.
Loved this, Ralfy-- I felt like I was there with you. Love your content, and you. And my whisky journey-- thanks a whole bunch for your help with it.
Congrats Ralfy on #500 and thanks for being a great whisky companion all these years!
From Holland: Slainthe!
Ralfy is such an authentic and lovable guy ;-)
Can smell the sea air from here, 8 years in the future. Love the RUclips time machine. Love Ardbeg. Quite like Ralfy.
Hi Ralfy, many thanks for all of the informative, insightful and above all entertaining reviews. I especially love the ones when you go on tour to the distilleries (Kilchoman, Springbank, Glengoyne, etc.) but above all I love those anecdotes you sometimes share. Long may this vlog continue and thrive !!!
How refreshing to come across this video of Ralfy out and about, in the wilderness😂😂
Thanks for 500+ videos. Thanks for your sincerity, thoughtfulness and humanity; and thanks sharing your passion not just for whisky but for life. Grateful I discovered this series early on.
I know this comment is a few days late on this video, but I couldn't agree with you more on spirits and the environment they are created in. I love bourbon (I'm American) I live right next to Kentucky which provides me access to some deeply rich bourbons. Taking a flask on a hike in the Appalachian mountains where the oaks, pines and the scents of the mountain can enhance a bourbons nose just by standing in nature and enjoying the essences from which it was produced. Great insight, very astute and inspiring observation. Thank you. Cheers!
Wonderful Ralfy!!! I've enjoyed all 500 and have gone back and watched some several times. My favorite, although I can no longer find it on your site, was the one with your Mom, what a dear soul! I was out for a walk yesterday in the rain and snow, yep, winter has found the Upper Peninsula of Michigan already, and I walked through a raspberry patch and it was like you just opened a new jar of jam! I'm looking forward to the next 500 my friend, so stay well. Sincerely, Ossie
One of the best reviews
i came back yesterday from a vacation in europe with ardbeg corryvreckan in my bag. back to the wars of israel,
back to holy jerusalem, my home,
back to the old exhausting job at the news,
wars, deaths, hate
and here you came with this very anticipating whisky review,
i was getting Goosebumps when the music started, i'm happy you decided to edit this special review.
thanks mate, you made the returning to the war ground much more cozy.
Thanks for sharing this, Amir... It's so easy taking peace for granted if you grew up in Europe like I did. I wish you all the best for this hard times...
It's time to pour yourself a nice glass of scotch and forget all about it.
I'm sure Ardbeg tastes just as good on the shores of tel aviv as any other place in the world. Cheers mate.
Congratulations on your 500 video milestone video. Thank you for providing us with your knowledge about the golden nectar. Additionally, thank you for allowing us a look into your own personal life. It adds a lot of character to your video. Keep up the good work!
What a job you've done with these reviews, Ralfy, big congrats for the 500th review! You call yourself the most eccentric whisky reviewer online, I simply call you the best. Here's for another 500, cheers!
Honestly i was never a whisky person. A little curiosity i stumbled upon your channel and I've been attempting to train my pallet to enjoy a fine whisky and notice the subtle differences. So thank you for taking the time to make your videos i truly enjoy them and you're a great teacher. Cheers from Canada!
Funny how that fits my story as well and I am from Canada as well! Must be something in the water. I have been experimenting with different brands as I can afford to do so and have grown quite fond of bourbon! Thanks to you Ralfy for guiding us on this journey. We couldn't ask for a more hospitable and pleasant person to spend time with.
Congratulations Ralfy! Massive malt moment for us as much as you! Thank you for your dedication and detailed work, your contribution to the community is immense and irreplaceable!
Slainte!
Thank you Ralfy, there is no better bang for your buck than spending quality time with a dram in hand watching your videos. It has been a pleasure learning more about the intrinsic qualities of scotch and life through your very honest "in my opinion" malt moments. Today I went to a whisky tasting in a really good pub in my hometown (The Highlander in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada), with a really good friend, where we talked scotch and life... We raised the wrist in your honour and I count myself lucky to feel as though I am a malt mate. Slainte Ralfy.
Congrats on 500 ! I've been drinking single malt for 5 years and really appreciate your expertise/knowledge. Thanks for your time and efforts !
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you for all the 500 videos you have shared with us. I will be here waiting for the next 500. Congratulations!
Happy 500 Ralfy !!! You're influencing the contents of glencairn glasses and the minds that fill them the world over. Simply stated, thank you. Thank you so much. God and providence keep you safe and inspired for years to come. Love, Canada. Yes, the whole 33 million of us.
Congratulations Ralfy and thank you for sharing your wit, sensitivity and talent with all of us. Here's to the next 500! Slainte!
You are truly inspiring for all of us malt mates, all over the world. Looking forward to your review number 1000!!
So close now! 🥳
Congratulations! I would also like to say thank you for all the information you have given me and many others. Here's to 500 more my friend!
Thanks Ralfy for 500 informative and eccentric whisky reviews! And for always stating your own opinion and not fobbing us off with marketing rubbish. You're a rare breed my friend.
I'd still say this is Ralfy's best review ever. Slainte old friend.
Congratulations on 500, and thank you, Ralfy! You're the only reason I ever open up the youtube machine! Cheers!
congrats Ralfy, you remain one of my favourite RUclips contributors! Look forward to each new whisky review and often rewatch past reviews, especially when I am thinking of buying a particular single malt.
This video is awesome..
Congratulations Ralfy. You did it!
May your sails fly high and the wind be always at your back.
Peace
Congratulation Ralfy!!!!!
Looking forward to the next 500 reviews!
You are the best! Thank you!
Congratulations on hitting 500! Your the best thing on RUclips! I just want to thank you for teaching me so much over the years. Your video's have inspired me to follow my passion of beverages to new career heights and your positive outlook on life has continuously lifted my spirits. I'll always continue to share your video's with all my friends who will listen! Thanks again! You Rock, come visit anytime, from your friend in Orlando Florida, Phillip O.
500th video! Amazing. Thank you for your diligence and thoughtfulness. Congratulations, sir.
Ralfy, I've watched every Whiskey/Whisky reviewer online. You turned me on to Whisky reviews. You are the grandfather of Whisky reviewers. Thank you.
He’s more like the godfather
From someone who's been watching since nearly the beginning let me say both Congratulations and Thank You. This is my new favorite Ralfy review. Here's to the "Experience" of whisky. Cheers!
Congrats on the malty milestone, Ralfy! November marks my first year of sampling and buying various spirits, scotch whisky prominent among them. Your guidance has been indispensable!
I would give anything to have a malt moment with this man.
So many reviews, so many years watching now. May it long continue :)
Thanks for lighting my way into this new journey I've been on, in the last 10 months. I watch your videos every day and train my pallet constantly, slowly unraveling the dimensions of taste I was oblivious to for my entire life. Thanks for guiding my way through. And what a beautiful video!
Wow, just Wow! Thank you so much for all your hard work and passion! Happy 500th!
Congratulations on review 500 Ralfy and thank you for every single one. I've learnt so much from you and not just about that important topic: Whisky.
Hi Ralfy I have been spending the last bunch of Sunday late afternoons with you and a wee dram, enjoying both very much.
Thank you very much for doing what you do.
Fantastic! A really good reminder that once in a while we need to step away from our daily schedules and enjoy the good and great things in life.
Happy 500th episode!!! Yea! I've watched everyone and learned so much, thank you for all your time and knowledge!
My sister was kind enough to gift me a bottle of Ardbeg Uigeadail for my 26th birthday about a month ago - and after watching your review, I finally decided to open it and have my very first taste of this wonderful whisky. I'm still fairly inexperienced when it comes to whisky and this is by far the most expensive bottle I own. I wasn't sure if I could really appreciate a whisky of this quality yet, but I am really enjoying this. This could very well be the best peated whisky I've had so far. And I'm sure it will only get better as I gain more experience and spend some more time with it.
Here's to another 500 informative and enjoyable reviews. Cheers, Ralfy!
Great place to have a whisky dram!
I love Ardbeg. This video made me smile... The sea and the music at the end made me cry in a good way... Seriously. Thank you :). The Isle of Man is one of those places in the world I really need to visit.
500 videos!!! Wow! I sure hope you don't stop this anytime soon, your videos are a refreshing vacation from the daily grind. I'd hate to lose and old friend. Anyway, thanks for what you do Ralfy!!
Thank you Ralfy for the videos ! Started off as a random search on the internet for recommendations to purchase at the duty free, been the main guide ever since and almost two years later the collection is almost 50 deep.
Congrats Ralfy, I have learnt so much from your videos, and thanks for taking timeout to answer so many comments
Once you get over the smoke with Uigeadail, my gosh, thank you Ralfy, my life is better.
I'm glad I save a sample from my last bottle so that I could celebrate your 500th review in style with you. Congratulations Ralfy - you're the best.
Gratz on the 500 reviews, Ralfy. Thanks for all the good work. Cheers!
500 reviews is a huge number, because each one is important. Every time a new Ralfy review shows up in my subscriptions, I'm happy because it's assured I'll learn something and enjoy the lesson. Anytime I have a question, I can go to the archives and there's Ralfy, educating us with good information and spot on observations. The camera, sound, location and light have changed over the years but they always showcase the authenticity and true care that he gives to his whisky journey.
And by doing all that...he helps us all along on our whisky journeys.
Thanks for each and every one, ***** .
Congratulations Ralfy! Keep up the good work.... your vlogs are all very enjoyable and educational! Thanks.
Greetings from Nova Scotia! An amazing 500th video and you could not of picked a better location. As my home is Newfoundland and Nova Scotia my new residence, I found that your location brought me back to living on the rock. Plus another bonus Ardbeg being my favourite malt... At least till the next one comes around.
Cheers,
Spencer
Once again Ralfy with a superb entertaining vlog. Congrats on getting review 500, looking forward to the 1000th celebration.
Ralfy, congratulations on hitting 500 reviews! This one, as all those that went before, does not fail to inform, instruct, and entertain. Here's to the next 500.
Congratulations on number 500! I can't thank you enough for sharing your malt experience and knowledge with the rest of us. My appreciation and enjoyment of malts has increased exponentially by watching your reviews. I hope you will continue for many years to come. Slàinte mhath! Dan In Nebraska
Excellent cellebration! 500! Thank you.
Congratulations on 500, Ralfy! One of your best location videos ever! Prettiest sky I've seen outside of Texas or Florida! Have to find my way to the Isle of Man one day. Cheers!!
Congrats Ralfy.! Looking forward to next 500 reviews.!
I'll start saving up for this one as soon as I pay my taxes... I just got my ticket for the Victoria Whisky Festival, which is what I just finished saving for... Nice beach! I could see myself camping there. Congrats on the 500 and continuing to keep us all entertained all around the world...
Ralfy, thanks for the last 500, and I raise my glass to your continued health; and your continued willingness to share your opinions. I have enjoyed almost all your reviews, whether I agree with your findings or not. It is always good to challenge your own perception by hearing how others view, smell, taste and indeed mark these works of art we all enjoy. Stay independent, and please continue to tell it how you perceive it to be. I look forward to the next 500 Ralfy Reviews!
Slainte.
You're the most unique and interesting Whisky reviewer I've come across, and there are quite a few odd characters floating around the industry! But there's the rub - you don't work for the industry, and so your opinion is valued for it's integrity and honesty. You're not selling a damn thing, but you've certainly sold me a bottle of Ardbeg Uigeadail with this review. I'm looking forward to this year's Christmas dram(s)! Cheers.
Congratulations Ralfy, and thank you for all that you do!
Thank you dear malt mate for every minute!
I live in big (in context) city in Holland, Utrecht, and picked up quite a taste for single malt whisky's. Much of that is thanks to you Ralfy, but unfortunately I cannot share these great experience with many of my friends. Last night I went out for a drink with some of them and I had quite the mood for it so I got me a (alas, overly pricy) glass of Laphroaig. The pretty girl behind the bar gave me a strange look, I guess they don't serve that as much to the regular crowd on a busy saturday night, but as she poured me a glass, I caught her taking a little nose of it. Eyes closed, just a brief niff. We exchanged a brief smile and it made me enjoy it just that much more. So, I think there sure are some malt mates in my own home city, I just haven't met them yet. :) Anyway, congrats on the major milestone! Hoping many more to follow.
One of the reasons why I miss living in the Netherlands is that my local chain off-licence had a fantastic range of whiskies for more reasonable prices than I would find them at here in the UK. I was spoiled for choice.
I'm sure the Netherlands has plenty of malt mates, even if they are elusive.
Bob Jones That sounds fantastic! I might not be as well-connected as you may have been in this country, but I do have a little shop close-by that always surprises me with their wide range of very decent whisky's. The Ardbeg Uigeadail has a solid spot on their shelves for about 70eur and they seem to have no problem acquiring some quite silly and exotic bottles. Yes, I have little to no complaints regarding the availability of some great single malts, but only one or two of my closer friends are able to name brands other than Jack Daniels and Johnny Walker :)
***** i hear you. Germany is quite the same. some online shops have a selection of 1300 Single Malts. more supply than demand here.
and i feel the same way. the only people i can talk to are the guys in my local Whisky Shops.
You should check out Cafe Derat in Utrecht, they have a nice range of single malt whisky's there and the bartender also knows a thing or two about whisky. The only reason why I go there more often is that the price is around 9 euro's per glass, ouch.
***** I think we need a "Scotch Chicks" night vlog..........Get them moving and winking.........
Congratulations, Ralfy. And thank you for all your reviews past and future; you've enriched many malt experiences for me and so many others.
Ralfy, you are a magnanimous master of magnificent malt-mate memoirs of monumental magnitude, manifesting a maelstrom of memorable moments and musings. You have put the blue collar back in the dram and culled the haughtiness that frequently plaques the malt dilettantes. You make mention not only of the nuances of the dram, but also of the nuances outside the bottle, the art of enjoying a nip if you will. Your reviews are both educational and a treat, and most importantly, for me anyhow, is you make me smile. For that I thank you greatly. Congratulations on 500 reviews, tis no small feat.
Stay calm and dram on
Kindest regards
Eric (Ottawa, Canada)
And that, lads&gals, is why this the most popular source of whisky-tainment on youtube (more like the internet)! Thank you so much Ralfy for all these hours of quality uploads that have enriched our whisky minds and subsequently, our whisky moments.. This video was a great testament to that... and another great review of course with a beautiful setting and a cool&subtle piece of musical editing at the end. Cheers from the frosty north of Sweden :) You got some fans here, i tell you.. Heres for 500!
My favorite review yet. Not sure how I missed this one! Thanks Ralfy
Congratulations Ralfy on 500 up... I'm at 25 /26 and have a long way to go to ever see 500......
Love your work...........
Happy birthday, Ralfy ! 500 th video is a bit your birthday, isnt'it ? 3 years ago a friend offered me a bottle of Talisker 10 years and "wow" ! Shortly after I discovered your videos. You have done so much for my passion for whiskies, thank you from my heart Ralfy...
Congratulations on reaching review 500, your reviews are very informative and entertaining. Thank you.
I always leave a like before the video even starts because it helps him out and I know every video Rafly does is just so involved and enjoyable to watch :)
Happy 500th, Ralfy! Thanks a bunch for educating us on all things malty. Here's to many more malt memories.
Thank you, Ralfy. Congratulation for review 500. Ardbeg rules. Need to came back to Islay one day. Such a lovely place.
Congratulations Ralfy!!! Happy 500th, here's hoping another 500 goes just as well and just as happily.
Thanks a lot, Ralfy, for this delicious malty moment, so stimulating for the mind and the body. Happy birthday for this 500th review !
Well Ralfy, I'm certainly thankful that I found you. Your reviews are simply delightful.
Ralfy. Mazal Tov on your 500th Whisky review. You aren't going to win any awards for your camera work but I'd give your video a 91 for entertainment and educational value. You are simply the best! Thank you for sharing your life and wisdom with us.
Thank you for sharing another passionate and most tranquil review of what we can't take for granted which is good whiskey and great scenery!
I just want to say thank you to all the video you did.
I'm listening all your video for at least 1year and a half.
Just bought this night a bottle of "Ardbeg Uigeadail" in a liquor store shop in Taiwan.
I enjoy this nice bottle and will continu to follow you, also when you are talking about rhum.
Fantastic. 500! A magnificent opus. Thank you.
Congrats on the 500th Ralfy! I've drunk whisky for 30yrs, but I've learn't more in six months watching your reviews, and fabulous stories! Take care mate and look forward to the next 500! Cheers from "down under"
Gregg.
Congratulations on your milestone, Ralfy. Love your program. Here's to a hearty 500 more.
Congratulations Ralfy! I like this review very much!
Beautiful view, lovely video, great Ralfy. Thank you! :-)
You always manage to bring quality content with novelty and originality in your reviews, and you've done it with great taste 500 times now. Let it be at least 500 more!
8 years since your comment, and Ralfy is coming up to 1000
thanks again Ralfy for me here in Canada your videos every week come out at about 3 in the morning every Sunday. Which is perfect I wake up and can wind down every sunday with a fine cigar and a fine dram of whisky while watching your latest review.....its a great end to a work week
Congratulations on your 500th whisky review! We keep enjoying them!
Congrats to you Ralfy and thank you for your work on these videos. Happy 500! Keep it up.
Congrats on reaching 500! The short time I've been following your whisky-musings have thus far been quite enjoyable, and I therefore intend to keep watching for at least another 500 or so!
500. Wow. I remember #1 like it was yesterday. Congrats Ralfy!
Ralfy
Great job my friend, loved it! Thanks for 500 and may there be many more to come !
