Marvelous line-up guys!! Seasons Greetings from the cold(ish) and rainy North!! SMWS B.A Sweden
Finally had an opportunity to try this - absolutely delicious!
I'd like more whiskies with notes of royal showbags. Talk about agricultural!
We had the RW6.6 on the latest tasting. Really interesting and nice!
Highly collectible too with Matt Bailey’s name on the label 🧐🥃
Sounds fantastic!!
Sounds like a smashing dram! Good choice guys! Slainte from Sweden!!🤩😋🥃
good stuff everyone
Finally found the "Aussie-site"!! Sweet! Go Matt!
This amazing scotch sounds spectacular!! I am excited!! Sounds amazing!! Well done video!! Cheers!! 🙂
Oh I want this beauty!! 🙂
It's a real tasty treat this one! On sale August 2nd 🥃
@@SMWSAustralia Fabulous! Thanks so much!! 🙂
Nice one mate, more of a palate than a nose guy ;)
Sounds absolutely delicious! I'd love to buy/try this beauty! I'm an Islay peated scotch lover but this is a must try if it's possible to get
We usually get a pretty healthy allocation for Malt of the Month, so you shouldn't a problem getting a bottle. July Outturn should be 5 July, with Outturn preview available this Friday :)
@@cevadau Hey thanks so very much!! 🙂
Definitely a healthy allocation coming through of this one!
Love Alement! I have had spectacular Islay scotch and Highlands and Speyside while visiting Melbourne a half dozen times! I will be back soon! Cheers!!

These beauties sound fabulous! All cozy is a must buy 🙂
Where on EARTH can i buy a society hoodie??
You mean 'Arrrrrrrrchetypal'.
Nice job covering for Lagg!
sounds great - have been waiting for another Distillery 39, and this sounds like it won't disappoint :D
It absolutely won't! Super viscousy and mouth-coating! Easily our top pick of the dozen!
This beauty sounds delicious!!
1:58 😍😜🔫
This scotch sound spectacular! Wow! Delicious! Thanks for the awesome video! Love Australia - hi from Vancouver!!🙂
The stars have aligned - we broke out the tasting box this evening! Paused at dram #3, to be continued. Very tasty so far.
I believe (can't find source) that a lot of barrels are shipped as individual staves and recoopered on arrival, so adding additional staves to make a hogshead from a barrel isn't a huge cost.
Based on my observations, I have reservations about placing trust in Andrew Derbidge.
Your video is not SEO.
LOL ! I didn’t choose the glasses . I always drink whiskeys any kinds NEAT , STRAIGHT UP , never ON THE ROCK or MIXED WITH SODA . Single Malt , Cognac , Japanese whiskeys or Bourbon . So I need a very nice crystal shot ONLY . And my own Crystal shots
I really don’t want to hate. Whisky, Coffee, whine and other dark drinks stain the teeth a lot, even to an extent where even excessive brushing won’t make the teeth whiter. And it helps massively to use teeth whitening strips👍 (Don’t get me wrong, I had stained and brown teeth as well, where even brushing didn’t work. Whitening strips have helped tremendously)
Very intrigued how a 149 could at all be a Juicy Oak and Vanilla. Would have thought it falls into the Oily and Coastal be default.
Can you explain why you feel this way? I’m learning! Cheers!
Hey Jesse: flavour profile is determined entirely off flavour, not cask, or region, or distillate. This was 6 years in full maturation PX sherry, and came out really juicy, really lovely oak profile, and full of fresh fruits in the glass. Most 149's might fall into O&C or Peated kinda profiles, but this one hit different for the panel. Hope this helps!
A 93 as a malt of the month? You spoil our palates but ruin our bank accounts.
Guilty as charged
4.278 was called "By the Beautiful Sea", tasting panel is running out of names!
Panel have even had double-ups on names word-for-word in the past. Definitely not an exact science, and still only human after all. The names of casks were kept in a paper journal up until around 2019! Most important thing is the spirit inside is incredible.
you are moving through the whiskies very quickly
“3…1…0” simultaneously spoken. My new countdown audio for sure 👌🏻⏰💣
Thanks Matt!
No problem!
I've had both 8yr old and 2yr old Armagnac. The 2/3yr was fantastic, very very light, but wonderfully elegant and fruity.
Peaches is a bloody good dram, keen to try this.
Keep up the good work Matt, love seeing these whisky information videos. I think it really adds value to new members.
Thanks Prak! We certainly will 🙌🏼
Another great way to celebrate the 40th anniversary. I’m personally most excited for 1.283, given my love for all things distillery 1. Curious which ones others will be most excited for.
Hi, you mention that RR64 may have older stock in it, is not this Release a Single cask botlle?, maybe I missed that details in your web page or outrun magazine but just wondering if this is diferent to SMWS style of Single cask bottling. Thanks for this videos as give a lot of info about the whisky.
🥃❤
good presentation and explanation. thanks
Nice review. I can distinguish for instance Laphroaig (médicinal) from Talisker 10 (bacon ) The first is peated and the second smoky ?
Ahhh gutted i missed out! Totally missed the email. Was too focused on the website events page. Based on that i was under the impression they were all live & in person this year T-T. Hope they do one again closer to Christmas! It would be a perfect Christmas present!
Also, I don’t think 66.6 was ever released. At least I couldn’t find it on the internet.
Perhaps the English translation “The last temptation of Christ” might have earned me a prize ;)
Magnificent. Just magnificent. Loved the longer bars. More chocolate to taste, savour and experiment with the whisky. That last one was our pick for the night.
Google translate seems to be getting better! "夏到来の予感" - Natsu tourai no yokan - Premonition of the arriving Summer.
For me...Peated tastes like a Band Aid where as Smokey tastes like a campfire log.
