Strong list buddy, Longrow is painfully overlooked. Cheers to smashing it!
Cheers brother, hope you are well! Wishing you great whisky and great success in 2025 🥃
Please dont buy the just released Glendronach 15 which is an inferior single malt in all ways. In fact the Glendronach 12 that was released along with the 15 - note that both are now without the tube but has a box instead.----- is much better than the 15!!! I think there's a lot of hype and nothing else!!! It was released on a limited stock basis so I managed to buy three. I promptly returned 2 when I found that I had been cheated!!!!
Damn that is not good to hear :(
Happy New Year!!! 🎉 Your No.1 must be good its out of stock at a few spots !!! 😊 🥃👍
It really is a good one! Happy New Year to you too! 🎉🥃
What do you recommend over this
For the same profile, but better and more affordable- Tamdhu expressions
It’s now on my list to check out both Ardnamurchan AD and Cardrona Wade. HNY mate!
🥳 Happy New Year. I hope you like them as much as I do!
Great Video and great Choices. Cheers
Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for your honesty opinions! Happy new year
Of course my friend! Happy New Year 🥳
Definitely going to give these a try! Thank you
My pleasure!
Happy New Year’s wade I have been joyed your videos this year I really like thelongrow nas but in Calgary Alberta it is only $99 Canadian which is $85 Aussie $ I feel sorry for Aussie whiskey lovers
Yeah it’s definitely more affordable in some places than others! Aussie's minds would be blown if we could get great whisky like this for under $100
Will get to try some Cardrona in May when I am over in Queenstown. HNY 🎉
Have a great trip to Queenstown! Happy New Year 🥳
Happy New Year Wade!
Happy new year Noel!
Great list my friend! I appreciate that you do both a Top 5 Worst & Best Whiskies of 2024, you're not holding any punches and you're expressing your opinions. Love it 🙏🏻
Thanks Jimmy. It’s good for me to reflect on the good and the bad ones and share honest thoughts with everyone. Glad you enjoy them ☺️
Such a good list mate! That Cardrona is a gem right! Cool to see it on your list. It was a pleasure to share it with you.
Thanks mate! Glad you sent me some of The Falcon!! Happy New Year Phil 🎉
Feliz año nuevo wade. Podrías hacer un top de whiskys "comerciales" cómo por ejemplo glenfiddich, glenmorangie, etc
¡Estoy seguro de que lo haré pronto en algún momento!
Interesting list, Wade. Thanks for sharing. Slàinte mhath
Thanks for checking it out Peat Head!!
Great list Wade....looking forward to see what 2025 brings us fella..cheers
Happy new year! 🥳
very happy new year my brother 🥃🥃May you and yours have a great end to the year and a huge 2025 and here's to many more malts🥃🥃
Thank you my friend, wishing you a great 2025! Appreciate the connection and shared love of whisky 🥃
Glen Scotia Bordeaux Cask 2013 was probably my favourite of the year. Waubs Harbour Rusted Cask and Morris Double Port are also up there.
Waubs and Morris are doing some great stuff. Was the Glen Scotia the dragon one? Was very very good
@@McIntyresMalts it was The Whisky Club exclusive release in November.
From where did you acquire the Ardnamurchan, online or at the local?
Online via the The Whisky List wsky.me/wadeis
Great top 5 picks. My favourites this year have been both sherried drams - English Distillery sherry cask and the Arnamurchan Sherry Golden Promise (Whisky Exchange UK exclusive). Both bottles went down very quickly which is normally a good sign!
The best metric!
Wonderful list ! I tried Ardnamurchan Sherry totally agree. It deserves no.1 this year.
Thanks Ryan 🥃
Great pick from a great distillery, buddy! Thanks for the video and another fantastic year of content. Cheers to 2025! 🎉🥃
Right back at you, brother! Wishing you a happy New Year and lots of wonderful whisky and success in 2025 🥃🙌
Copy Cat!!!! 😂 Great palates think alike brother, absolutely the whisky I enjoyed the most this year as well! Roll on 2025 with more fantastic whisky moments! Cheers 🥃
You know it’s a good whisky when it can convince someone who doesn’t like sherried whiskey that it’s great 😉 Wishing you a great 2025 my friend 🫶🥃
Hi Wade, yeah, that Ardnamurchan sherry release is rather tasty isn’t it. The others are nice picks as well. Slàinte 🥃
Indeed it is!
Great selection! Will you do a show and tell of the bottles you bought in Scotland? Would love to know what and why you bought them. Cheers!
On the cards yes! Might do that one next 🙌🙏
@@McIntyresMalts 😃🙌
Great video and well done champ. God Bless and Happy new year
Thank you my friend, Happy New Year to you too!
100% yes on that Balvenie Madeira bottling. Awful, awful whisky at a bonkers price.
I was very impressed by the Hearach at whisky freedom - distinctive bottle design made it instantly stand out, and it was straight away very clear that the spirit was worth paying attention to.
Agreed!
Happy New Year Wade! 2025 here we GO! Cheers!
Let's go! Happy New Year my friend!
Happy New Year Wade! Look forward to your new reviews in 2025. Cheers! I liked 4 of your 5 but would have put any of the 2024 Kilkerrans in as my replacement for your No 2. Cheers
Also great options!
Agree the Ardnamurchan AD Sherry is a really good whisky. My Scotch WOTY is another Ardnamurchan, the Paul Launois. My overall WOTY is the Pokeno Prohibition Porter, it just ticks all the boxes for me. Recently bought The Hearach and really liking it. Look forward to more videos in 2025. Cheers!
Those are some great whiskies too, I hear everyone talk so highly of the Paul Launois Ardnamurchan!
Great video Wade, none from the TWL Scotland tour? I take it single casks don't make the list?
Yeah trying not to piss everyone off lol. Will make a rare whiskies top 5 that include those ones soon!
Great list Wade1 All the very best to you and family for2025!
Thank you my friend, same to you and yours!
I am able to get 0/5 whiskies of your 5 best whiskies in Texas, USA. I’ll have to take your word for it. Hope you’re as honest as you look, mate.
It's a shame that availability is so different around the world! What’s your pick for best of the year that is available to you mate?
All look and sound like great whiskies, but very, very difficult to get a hold of in Australia - maybe make a list of something that most drinkers in Australia can purchase. Happy New Year mate!
@@MordorsMalts I am in Australia and have them my friend, so not too difficult if you know where to look 😉 Yeah these aren't Dans whiskies, but they are accessible here for sure. Check out wsky.me/wadeis and you will find all the places you can get these whiskies and more 😊
@heisenbergguy7772 while they're not readily available, they can be found if you hunt. I'm not sure where in TX you are, but I've found the Longrow at Spec's and The Hearach at Twin Liquors in the Houston/Pearland area. The AD Sherry Cask is harder to find, but I recently found one in San Antonio over Thanksgiving. It really is the luck of the draw. Happy hunting 🥃
@@McIntyresMalts Sure I know Dan Murphy's doesn't carry many niche whiskies. I've joined a few online sites, but haven't even seen most of these whiskies and if they do show up they are gone in an hour. I like hunting but it's very frustrating in Australia as you know. Btw, I won't join any sites that have a subscription.
My 2024 Scotch Whisky of the Year is Glen Scotia 15. My 2024 Bourbon of the Year is Town Branch Overproof.
Yeah that Glen Scotia 15 is the sweet spot in their core range! Have not tried that Bourbon. Thanks for checking the vid!
Excellent picks, Wade. I've enjoyed your channel a lot and am looking forward to more in the next year. Cheers!
Thank you for the kind words my friend 🙌🥃
Fantastic list. Thank you for sharing Wade, and cheers to 2025 and many more excellent whiskies!
You too mate, and happy new year!
On New Year's Eve, which one of these reviewed SWs will you sip? I'm going to have a dram of Torabhaig Alltt Gleanne! Happy 2025! 🎆
Still deciding what I will pour! Happy New Year 🥳
Great video, Wade. Keep up the good work and cheers!
Thanks Mo, much appreciated!
I’m surprised the Blenders and Samoroli aren’t more popular. Maybe fragility.
Quite possibly. That and the fact that only really whisky geeks like us go out searching for them and they aren't that easy to find, at least in Australia. I don't think the general public are likely even aware of different glasses that can enhance the experience of their whisky, very niche.
@ Yep, makes sense. I’ve been pretty seriously into single malts for about 6 years, but only got these glasses a couple months ago. I like the stem. Also like the wider bowl for a wider whisky surface area and the narrower mount. This is perfect for nosing lower and mid ABV stuff, but with some cask strength whiskys you have to back up an inch or it will burn a bit.
@@utoobia Agreed!
Great list! Reviewers tend to be too kind, so honesty is really appreciated. I may have bought the Balvenie, so thanks for steering me away from it. Bowmore could be such a fantastic distillery, but it’s really disappointing the stuff they put out. Definitely one for the IBs. Cheers, Wade!
You may enjoy the Balvenie 15 Sheldon, it just didn't work for me man. Hope you like it more than I did and Happy New Year brother!!
Hah fun video Wade, I can see your point on every one of them. For Lindores though I would recommend you try some of their 'cask of Lindores' releases to see some nice cask play but yeah the standard expression is underwhelming for sure. Thanks for the list and the great video, cheers brother 🥃
Thank you brother! I never write off an entire distillery based on one (or even three) bad expressions. I'm sure every distillery is capable of producing great whiskey. They just comes a point of dimension returns where I stop checking after more misses than hits. Hope you're well my friend happy New Year.
Dalwhinnie 15 for me was Rubbish! Happy new year 🎉 wade to you and family!!! 🥃👍
Cheers mate! Happy New Year to you and yours too 🎉
Agreed on the Bal 15 .... even the die hard fan deserted the bottle. Left it to the angels.
Leave it to the Devils! 😈
Hey there. I´m a German and Slyrs is really awfull for me aswell...
Interesting to hear the thoughts from a local too
@@McIntyresMalts I haven´t tried to much german whisky, but we still got some interesting stuff :D Slyrs is sadly one of the most well known distilleries here in Germany. St. killian is probably the one to try though!
@@PSNeko Thanks for the tip!
Great list Wade! Balvenie is brutal for pricing and has been mediocre for a while. One of the worst offenders in my market.
Glad others are seeing it too 🥃
Honesty 👍
Will always get it on this channel my friend!
Balvenie 15 Madeira Cask may be overpriced but it's not that bad. Unless newer batches have gone to shit that is. The one I tried is a bit older and it was pleasant enough.
We're all different I guess. I have enjoyed other Madeira cask whisky before, this one was the worst one I have tried. Admittedly it could have been a bad batch.
On the other hand, I'd like to point out the best promissing improvements in term of quality single malts. Scapa, Jura (yes, Jura! it sounds crazy) and Glenglassaugh. The first two have chosen the right path: 46 degrees, no chill filtration and no weird casks in their new range! Aleluia!
@@nicolasmaligner8753 I just bought the Glenglassau! Love it.
Hah I noticed Select Scotch Whisky went all in on Slyrs this year and promoted it in every email flyer. Then I noticed it started seeing bigger and bigger discounts! Your review would explain the discounts 😂
I commend them for bringing in something different and expanding the range of single malts available to us, it's just a shame it didn't work out.
