Cheers Michael, I agree at a greater strength this could really come to life and be a brilliant blend though they certainly would ramp up the costs from not being able to spread it as far!

You are not wrong Phil, I very much lean into the "daft side of whisky". Hopefully the chapters in the video help you jump to the bits you are after, or find a reviewer more inline with your tastes. Cheers.

IIs that a Indian whiskey? Fingers crossed it appears somewhere down the line. Cheers for watching!

@ text from the official website - The result of the 2024 London Spirits Competition once again shines a light on the world’s best spirits that are awarded by quality, value, and package. Godawan 100 received a score of 96 points making it the top single malt whiskey in the world. Tasting note for Godawan Century: “A single malt whiskey with pronounced tropical notes, a lighter palate, and a short finish. It offers a very sweet palate with hints of caramel, charcoal, cinnamon, and anise, leading to a long dry finish.” - London Spirits Competition

Yeah it is very much personal to the reviewer and I didn't really notice that I strayed more from the core range which I normally focus on till your comment. What would be your whisky of the year? Cheers

@@JeffWhisky It's nice of you to ask. Also a very personal choice. Two Single Malts stand out for me this year. The M&H Single Cask 59% Kosher Peated Ex-PX Cask No2021-3110. There has never been any example of a heavily peated Kosher Ex-Sherry Cask bottling ever in history, as far as I'm aware. It's the first time in my 35 years of whisky exploration that I've ever experienced a single malt of this style and I have to say, it's pretty delicious stuff. That combination of First-Fill Sherry cask dark berries and dried fruit, married with the earthy peat is certainly quite a unique and very enjoyable tasting experience. The other memorable bottle was the Glasgow 1770 Triple Distilled Tequila Cask Finish Cask# 18/981 and was quite superb.

Thank you buddy, grateful to have you involved! Hope you have a great holidays and see you ready to slap in 2025!

Let's just hope another banger passes us again like this and we will grab 1... or 2! Cheers

Cheers Mr G, yeah sadly it is a bit of an elusive and not widely distributed one. Sure you can make you own version though? Wee Electric G?

Lucky that you managed to get a though! Cheers

FOMO is a dangerous thing! I need to pay more attention to Tulibardine, I got a few miniatures waiting for me to get to. Cheers buddy!

Same here buddy! Roy was certainly waxing lyrical after a fair few drams of it! Cheers to a brilliant 2025 mate!

I would dare say it is really, really, really good! Cheers

Thanks for the kind words, yeah I did have a plan for the goose to appear but sadly ran out of time editing. He will bring in the new year somehow! Cheers and to you and hopefully you are able to come across some of these in the near future!

And to you buddy, looking forward to catching your latest WTF! Cheers

A truly wild whisky you both shared! Only a bit more pricey than my winner, cheers Mac.

Cheers Gert. It is dangerous for our shopping lits with all these Whisky of the Year videos!

Thanks mate, I always think that the couple you miss that turn out to be bangers means you easily saved on 8 more sub par drams. Cheers!

So much love for the Paul Launios! I have only had a single pour and was in the middle of a festival so no chance remembering tasting notes! Happy holidays to you too, Cheers!

The PL is fantastic, have you tried the 10th anniversary? It’s got about half of the same cask finish in it, but also about a year and a half older, it’s fantastic stuff and less than half the price.

@KevinOhlin The 10 year old isn't available in my market yet. Sounds good though.

Cheers Bob, I am 100% the same, tiny half pours to hold on for as long as I can. Slap on!

Yeah, think maybe a bit too pricey at RRP but well chuffed with what I have tried.

Benromach is certainly getting a lot of love! Need to get back on it. Cheers to Linkwood, fantastic liquid! Slap on Cezary!

@@JeffWhisky

It certainly is a banger! All the more special drinking it in Campbeltown too, spot any dragons while you was there? Cheers for getting involved!

It would most likely make refill bourbon barrel aged Scotch a bit more pricey! More and more brands are moving into STR, wine casks and more wilder finishing like Tokaji, English Oak etc. Yet to try Westward but I keep getting it mixed up with the brilliant Westland. Any Westward recommendations? Cheers!

@JeffWhisky english oak sounds interesting. Will look to try something in the future. Mixing up the two west's is real lol Westland isn't bad but westward is more my jam Just found your channel. Thanks man keep up the good work. Im kidding about the bourbon barrels lol

@@Rufflezhaveridge So as a WestLAND lover I should be slapped silly by WestWard then? Added to the shopping list. Grateful you found it here, it's an odd whisky channel Cheers!

@@JeffWhisky I dont want to build it up to much and westward is good I heard there 2nd milestone bottle or w/e they call it($250) was best they have done. I missed that one. But there cask strength and any finished sb have all been money

Thanks for watching Frank! I am hoping to keep it going next year, it certainly will be harder finding the time but can't let my slappers down! Cheers

Thanks buddy and cheers for getting involved! Slap on Scott

I'll get a shirt and some sun glasses for next time.

Thanks David, I certainly included a lot of bottles for when it is meant to be one I need to get back into Benromach, there contrast peat smoke blew me away but need to try more. Cheers for your support!

Cheers buddy, looking forward to your own Scotch pick! See if you can include as many runners up as I have

That is a brilliant list there. I have been impressed by the Circumstance I have tried but yet to get my hands on a bottle myself. Will have to be quick before my no bottle ban in 2025 kicks in. Cheers for watching.

Jeff - they do a great value tasting set for 4 whisky’s - might be worth asking Santa for a set for Xmas!!!

@@bosswardrop I did ask Santa but sadly they were out of stock! Fingers crossed to try soon, cheers!

Laphrroaig Sherry Oak for me. Absolutely stunning. Biggest surprise was Eagle Rare 10. Don’t normally drink bourbon but picked a bottle up on offer from a well known supermarket. Ridiculously drinkable!

Cheers Tobias! I been wanting to try Scapa for ages but always seems to elude me!

@@JeffWhisky They launched the craft presented trio of 10, 16 and 21 in the last few months here and I had them at tastings. The 21 seemed impressive in that first impression but far out of my price range, the 16 not all that expensive but really didn't impress, but the 10 is a charmer at very good price here, and my bottle is dwindling fast.

@@murgh The 10 has been added to the wish list! Cheers.

Cheers Oman! Thanks for joining again, what would be your pick?

Cheers Adi!

Cheers for checking it out James! Do you have a favourite Campbeltown release?

Cheers buddy! If only I was more organised when you came to London, could have given you a whisky tasting pack!

Thanks buddy, yeah I think with their core release having rum casks in the mix it is a good starting point for more interesting maturation and finishes. Have you got your whisky of the year picked? Cheers!

@@JeffWhisky Hmm, the current series I have is going to take me through December. Have to think about where to fit that in.

Cheers, can confirm it pairs wonderfully with the Campbeltown Chockisky!

I am really desperate to try some more Whistler. Think I have only had one dram so far and their range looks amazing! What has been your favourite release from them? Cheers.

@JeffWhisky The stout is probably the best I've tried. The PX I love you is also decent
