Hi guys. Thank you so much for the lovely words. Means an awful lot. It was an escape at an incredibly difficult, sad time. I’ve loved all the episodes you’ve done, the craic, the humour, and the great info on all the whisky of course. Looking forward to what 2024 has in store. Keep up the good work.

thank you for reaching out Greg, it means so much having you as part of our community. tough times are always made easier when you know that you have people in your corner and thinking about you and we want you to know you've always got us here - even if it is just to act like eegits and chat shite about whisky! big love for 2024 my friend, sláinte!
Hilariously banter guys! Hugh Heffner was on fire!🔥 🔥🔥
Oh boi what can we expect after the main event that was the black rod bottling. I cannot wait to see this.
Cheers guys. Enjoying a 25yo Port Dundas atm.
Greg sorry for your loss. I'll raise dram for your dad. Sláinte Mhath.
Al will will be remembered.
Also, rip sean lock.
glad you're dramming along with us on this one and thank you for your lovely words to our community (and the legend that was Sean Lock). sláinte Tim!
Excellent episode! I'm excruciatingly jealous of your access to the UK auctions. I do flip through them sometimes and gaze in amazement at the selection of vintage bottles.
Seems like the £100 range has some real potential.
Looking forward to the next one!
thanks for watching and commenting Sascha; hopefully you'll get over here at some point soon and we can share some of the wares to ease that jealousy! lots more to come so stay tuned. sláinte!
Lovin the Hugh Hefner comment 🤣 Ian is now the Whisky Playboy! Great watch, guys. Lovely tributes at the beginning, heart felt & respectful. I lost my mum unexpectedly last year and then my dad 4 months after and whisky tube, especially you guys & Aqvavitae were and still are a welcome release so thankyou.
I'm only a few years in on my whisky trail, most months I'm buying on swa as a go to rather than online shops. Easy to get pulled in though you have to know what you're looking for & set a limit - I won't tell you what I paid for a SB12CS - what a twat!!
Thanks - I think 😂 - and I had to buy one for a tasting recently so had to way over pay too 😢
god, don't feed his ego too much there Al! thanks for tuning in as always and so sorry to hear that you also suffered such a big loss in 2023. I'll raise a toast privately to you and your parents this evening. love having you as part of our community and delighted that you're enjoying the content - don't be too harsh on yourself, apparently I can never get it right either so we'll be auction twats together! sláinte my friend
Another Great episode gents! I think a £30-£70 episode would also be great! Slàinte Mhàth
noted Ciaran - we'll get it into the lineup. thanks for the recommendation and sláinte!
Good crack lads. Just bought an Aultmore 18 for £84 all in at auction but haven't cracked it open yet.
sounds like a pretty decent deal there Sandy, sláinte! you saving it for a special occasion or just waiting to crack it with the right person?
A couple bottles that I recently got at auction were a Longrow duty paid fresh Sauternes hogshead 9 year @59.1% for 110£ (had to pay shipping to get it across the pond) and then a 12 year smws highland park ex bourbon hoggy transfered to a Fresh bourbon barrel 62.7% for 50£. Excited for them both!
Also, just wanted to say that I really enjoy the podcast, I’ve listened to every single one. You guys have broadened my horizons to some new distilleries (Glentauchers and convinced me to buy my first bottle of highland park), and even now I’ve purchased my first new make casks. I equally enjoy the banter between you all, great work.
Those sound like some absolute beauties Leo, sláinte! Let us know when they arrive and how they go down 🥃🥃
Delighted you’re enjoying the content and honoured that you’re listening to some of our suggestions - let us know if there are any topics you want us to cover in particular. What new make have you bought?
The stillhead cooling at Fettercairn is there to enhance the reflux so you'll get a softer spirit. Btw Loch Lommond have that option as well. The 112 bottlings from SMWS are distilled with stillhead cooling on for example. But to be fair I don't know if it's exactly the same system that Fettercairn uses.
appreciate the input here - we weren't at all prepared to cover the topic properly this time round but rest assured, we'll get to all this geeky stuff in another episode. great to have our community covering the bits we miss in the meantime though so thank you!
Loving the 'Renegade Master' lyric intro, Jake! 💪 Another banger of a podcast fellas, Thank you!
hahaha, can't help myself with these intros James - seem to have got myself into the habit of 'back once again' and it just flows too easily off the tongue. thanks for tuning in and getting involved as always good sir, sláinte!
Lovely looking Benrinnes - I'm a fan as well!
That was a lovely tribute with the couple of toasts to the gent who lost his father and to WhiskyStraightAl. Lovely stuff. On the Glenmorangie I haven't tried but it's worth pointing out the Bordeaux Deanston isn't £50 but in fact £33! And it's a banger!
needs to be done Ronan - we love how our community is here for us and without all of you guys this wouldn't happen. The Deanston sounds like a bargain at £33!
I concour Sir. I got 2 bottles on offer incl. shipping on 32 euros each. Such a lovely dram for the price. I should off bought a case:)
@@sorinsrn5442 okay okay - hold tight for the Deanston episode!
@@TheWhiskyBaron their warehouse tasting is up there with the best I’ve done. Both times I’ve walked away with a 23 year old PX and a 17 year old first fill olorosso. Both for around the £150.00 mark, warehouse 4 specifically. Would recommend when you’re next in their neck of the woods
@@joetrigg5378 good looking out Joe, much appreciated. I’ve actually never visited Deanston so definitely one on my list (hopefully we’ll make it this year!)
Hi gents. I keep catching up on replay. Good episode again. I've been to Fettercairn with tour & tasting, had a dram of 28 y.o., 22 y.o. & 18 y.o. official bottling - they are good but doesn't worth money they're asking for them (for sure), I personally thinking 16 y.o. (obviously with batch vary), are best in their range, younger ones Fettercairn - I'm just struggling with them & didn't enjoying at all. All the best.
That Hazelburn is fantastic, unfortunately my bottle is long gone. You can get sometimes get Hazelburn and Longrow (but not Springbank) at decent prices at auction - especially the older age statements, I've occasionally picked up the 21YO of each for less than their retail price after fees.
happy days! Kilkerran is the only one from the Springbank family that I really look at in auctions but maybe I'll have to keep a better look out moving forward! sláinte Matt and happy hunting
Awesome episode lads, some excellent & almost clutch buying power here. That Benrinnes G&M (with all the good specs) is an absolute steal! I think it's getting to the point where you can get a better deal on auction sites compared to retail shops selling bottles at the RRP/or more.
Very good buying here folks, would love more episodes like these 🤌🏼🍻
we'll definitely be doing more auction episodes JJ - I need to win one of these things and stop the abuse from Ian! thanks for tuning in as always my friend, sláinte
@@TheWhiskyBaron Always a pleasure, never a chore 🙏🏼
Thanks Guys for your efforts!🙂👍
thank you for tuning in and commenting - helps us know we're hitting the spot and that we should keep going! hope to see you on the next one.
I had the same issue with SWA with a damaged box. They didn't want to take responsibility for the damage & blamed the courier. Even though there was no damage to the cardboard box. My bottle was a Macallan 18 year old Sherry Oak Cask 2018 release. I threaten them with legal action, if they didn’t give me a refund. They caved in. I sent the bottle back & they gave me my money back. What is the point of paying Loss & Damage cover if they then say you’re not covered? I won’t be bidding with them again.
Guy’s really enjoy the pod (whisky wank 😂)
If you like a red wine cask you really must crab a Teeling limited edition (almost gone) 13yo Single Grain Bordeaux cask 50% £70. First sip, I bought more, drank 2 still have 3. Another dram (not red wine) is Powers John’s Lane 12yo cask strength 57.8% best quality/value cask strength out there imo. 🥃
Glad you're appreciating our irreverent approach here Brain! some great Irish recommendations there so will definitely have a gander at those. sláinte my friend!
Great episode. I’d like to buy more from auctions but at my price point the delivery charges are a killer and I’m mostly better off fishing at retail for bargains with a bit of patience. That said, give it another 6 months and I think the auctions will be a better hunting ground once the non-drinkers realise they aren’t going to make money and run for the exits at the same time.
I think you're right Andrew - keep your eyes on the auctions as prices are definitely easing and theres a good amount you can find at real steals. thanks for watching and getting involved!
Fettercain. Decent/Good. Words that are never put in the same sentence.
Ledaig sinclair is a really good budget wine cask finish
this is a phenomenal recommendation and definitely up there for me (budget regardless). sláinte my friend!
Deanston is my favourite distillery (along with Springbank) and I’m not a fan of the red wine cask finish to be honest
that's interesting to know, particularly as someone who hunts wine casks down. what is it you don't like about it Joe?
@@TheWhiskyBaron for some reason I just don’t like the finish, kind of a harsh but then not very long finish. Where for eg the Deanston 12 just gives me that lovely smooth but spicy finish.
Have you tried Filey Bay Port Finish? It’s such a winner for me
@@joetrigg5378fair enough. I’d love for you to try some of our upcoming wine cask finishes to see if any hit the mark for you!
I have tried the Filey Bay and thought it was decent enough, although a little thin for me
hazelburn in bourbon please!!
