I actually really enjoyed shooting this! These are all Whiskies I really enjoy and am genuinely really passionate about so it's a real treat to be able to talk about them, and share them with you! Let me know down below which your favourite Whiskies are? ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Bunnahbhain 12 year old Arran 10 years old deanston 12year old glenfarclas 15 year old & 105 Glendronach 12 year old compass box spice tree Garioch 12 years old The classic laddie port Charlotte to name a few I really enjoy
@@spunkybadgerobrien1300 All absolutely fantastic Whiskies. The only ones of those I'm missing from the shelf is the Compass Box and the Glen Garioch. Slainte! 🥃
A great list. 3 of your 5 I regularly get. Not sure if you focus only on scotch, but I’d suggest a Bourbon for the list Wild Turkey 101 or WT Rare Breed.
I would add the Laphroaig 10 to that list. Both the Talisker 10 and the Caol Ila are rather contained as far as smokiness... I think it's worth having a proper smoke bomb and the Laphroaig 10 although very peated is actually quite an easy drinker, with lots of fruit and nutty notes. I love it.
I am planning a trip to Scotland for next year, I want to spend a few days in Islay mainly but of course want to visit Edinburgh and Glasgow, I just wrote down the list of bars you mentioned, sounds like a good idea for an episode, your channel is awesome by the way!
Thanks man, Exactly! Even last night at the pub, I was on a 55% and guys next to me were like “woah that’s crazy!” but personally, I think that’s where the magic happens! Slainte! 🥃
Strangely enough I just put together a sample pack (though without your availability and price constraints) to introduce someone to different styles of Scotch: Glencadam 15 (no peat, no sherry) [I used to use anCnoc 16, before it was discontinued] Glengoyne 21 (no peat, yes sherry) [ I know: I could have picked something cheaper...] Oban 14 (middle-of-the-road) Lagavulin Distillers Edition (yes peat, yes sherry) Laphroaig 10 (yes peat, no sherry) [I've had 14 people love it and only 2 not!] Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban (Port cask finish) As for my own favourites, they can get a bit pricey...
Beginner here. My son-in-law is going to take me to a local tasting bar to try some whiskeys. I'm looking for spirits with no peat/smoke/char. Your review has helped me put two on my list. I had a taste of the Bunnahabhain 12 at Thanksgiving and it was delicious. Out of my price range at the moment though. Here in NM USA it is $70 (with tax). Thanks for this review it has been helpful.
Ahh dude! Thank you so much! Helpful is exactly what I want it to be. Yeah I really have no idea on the US market, I just kind of assume it’s similar to what’s available here, albeit slightly more expensive (which $70 seems to line up with what I expected). Enjoy your tasting! Love to hear what you try! Slainte! 🥃
I love my Bunna 12. Here are a few options I think speak the same language (but only the Bunna will have that salty background): Balvenie 12 Doublewood, GlenAllachie 12 (more on the sweet side but so complex and excellent), GlenDronach 12 (no ex-bourbon but I do think the Bunna 12 is sherry forward). BTW, the Doublewood is much better in the US being 43% against 40% in the UK. Do keep in mind the GlenDronach no longer states their whiskies are unchillfiltered. I did try an old bottle against the new one side by side and didn't feel any difference... but there's that. These 3 are my favorites 12yr olds, they all had their time on top and I keep going back and forth... My current winner is the GlenAllachie 12, I even ordered their 15 but not here yet.
Great selection buddy. I will always see myself as a beginner to whisky and there are a few on hear I have not had but now on the list. Great to see Caol Ila on there. A brilliant entrance into peat and wonderful whisky. Great watch as always, cheers
Cheers brother! Beginner is super subjective! All I know is these are absolute mainstays for the shelf, and definitely whiskies I think everyone needs to try! I still owe you a couple samples, don’t I? DM me anything you want
I think so! I really enjoy all of them, and generally get really good responses from the people I share them with so fingers crosed others find it useful! Slainte! 🥃

Love my Arran 10! Love my Bunna 12! Love my GlenAllachie 12! These will always have a guaranteed spot on my shelf.
These are all my favourites! Great list! And I have been a whisky lover for over 30 years. Maybe I'm still a beginner😅?
Glencadam is god tier - such a good analysis 😎

This a really great intro to whisky and would set any potential fan up to know exactly where to head to next
Thanks man! I feel like it’s a good enough mix with a bit of everything, and at least a bit fun with a cask strength in there. Slainte! 🥃

Great list! Glad you included a cask strength whiskey, as that can really show a beginner what else whiskey is capable of.

That is a solid taster pack! Definitely every both ends of the spectrum covered there! 🥃

Thanks! Exactly what I was going for. Slainte! 🥃
