WHISKY 'INVESTMENT': CALCULATING THE VALUE OF YOUR BARREL
Wow. I'm speechless. Just wondering. You walking in the shop. And how to choice what to buy 😁
The staff will help!
Yeah amazing looking shop. Thanks for showing it off Ian. Been buying from them for years, gonna have to pay them a visit now. Cheers.
What an amazing looking shop, I could spend an hour or 2 in there! Thanks for the tour Posh.
👍👍
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
thanks for tuning in and supporting the channel!
Pays to be Ian on a lunchbreak 😜👍🏼
living like a king isn't he!
After work this time 😂
Can confirm have purchased an Independent Signatory Orkney which was confirmed Scapa. Extremely rare though
Yes, I've also heard about one of these releases. hens teeth but supposedly they're out there!
*victor meldrew voice* “I don’t believe it!” 😂
Thanks dude!
you are most welcome, I hope you enjoyed it! stay tuned as we have lots more coming
Fabulous tour!! Thank you!!😊
thanks Christine, glad you enjoyed it! do you do much shopping with TWE?
👍wow
thanks for the support, delighted you're enjoying the content! sláinte

Great video Ian! One of my previous jobs was based on Orange Street, just around the corner from this shop, so like you, I used to pop over on my lunch break to peruse all the offerings. Loved their old shop down by the London Dungeons too, although that was a while ago now 🥃
The London Bridge store also has a lot going for it!
I was down the road from their London Bridge shop and it was a challenge not to spend all of your pocket money there every week!
This is a great video. Well done buddy 👍
thank you! really appreciate the support and glad you're finding it useful
Worst customer service ever
Not my experience.
shame to hear you say that. I'd definitely give them another go as that's not usual
Wauw what a whisky shop. i love the signatory unchillfilterd range . often great bang for your buck.
agreed! where do you do your whisky shopping Erwin?
@@TheWhiskyBaron i live in netherland. i buy at my local store. online retailers, and at online actions, brexit makes it to expensive to order from the uk
They should issue an entrance ticket if it's a museum❤
and yet they welcome you in for free and pour you a dram whilst you peruse! best museum I've ever been to!
I want local barley, cask strength 12 and Hazelburn Oloroso. To stop all of the flippers, just crack the seals and maybe use a 10p length of sticky tape instead (to secure corks for transport). "Unsealed bottles" will be rejected by auction houses, thus putting the flippers out of business.
three great choices! I hear your point with the seals, but I'd be beyond annoyed if bottles I was buying from anywhere came already open as it means they have to be consumed and I can't put them in my collection if I want to. I think what they do with putting names on the cage bottle is much more appropriate - just a shame there's no one keeping track of the names of constant flippers!
👍✌️
can't go wrong with a 32Y/O Springer!
I literally sussed out the bottle design just before you revealed it... very clever. Was it intentional that it also looks like the tears in the glass ?
the design of everything has been very well thought out by the team at WP - it's a beautiful product!
I heard today that the barley was all from Derbyshire? Is that a new thing then? Or not true.
did they tell you that at the distillery? in honesty I can't remember myself
I'm shocked how little the reviewing crowd have not jumped all over this yet..? Racism? lol😂
racism?
Brilliant video. Nice to hear from passionate and knowledgeable people for a change. Can't wait to try this Amorone expression. 😊
thanks for your support my friend, glad you're enjoying the content!
Fantastic information thank you.. your honest view on one of the most established brokers… vintage acquisitions please.
you're most welcome Chris, glad you've found it useful. unfortunately we can't offer opinions on specific companies as it puts us in a precarious position legally, however, I think you'll find that VA were originally in the wine trade and moved into whisky when the market started shifting. that might tell you everything you need to know
👍👍✌️✌️
thanks for tuning in and supporting the channel my friend, sláinte!
I can’t get behind the brand with the pricing now. In Canada due to the high liquor taxes the prices are even crazier. Macallan 18 would be the equivalent of 500£ in my province, the 25 over 3400£. I avoid the brand entirely
I can appreciate your stance here. what's your go to brand?
@@TheWhiskyBaron Springbank if I can find it, really difficult in Canada now, lot more of the US states are getting allocated bottles. So usually Benromach, Kilkerran, Craigellachie, and Glenallachie are my go to brands, but I’m open to any brand if the price is fair and I’ve heard good things online or from friends.
You?
@@Wielki000 some great choices there. if Macallan is the style you're after but you're price conscious I'd recommend Glendronach or Glenallachie - both great alternatives
Really interesting and informative. Great questions. Glenallachie is one of my go to's. Thank you
thanks Greg, really appreciate the support and delighted to hear you're enjoying the content. have you got any nice bottles open at the moment?
@@TheWhiskyBaron Thank you and Hi, Lucky to be enjoying a Glenlivet bottled by GM from1974. Still drinking Bunna Cask 2022 (stunning malt if you're into sherry) and the odd Glendronach.
@@gregg6173 sounds like someone I could share a few drams with - great lineup! sláinte Gregg!
Been drinking whisky for a while but only recently started to "Appreciate" it now going down a rabbit hole 🙂... So happy to find your channel too. Great video
thanks John, delighted to have you join our whisky loving community! hope to see you on the next distillery tour my friend
what are the companies that the people created (so we can avoid them)? Basically I am looking into this, but there are loads out there, and wanting to avoid the bad companies. so also any advice would be welcome
the only advise I can offer is to proceed with caution. make sure you're clear on what you want to achieve and do as much research as you can to establish whether or not you'll be able to get there. we're always happy to have a call and talk through the market if you'd like
Glorious Glenallachie oh how delicious is this spirit!!!! Loving the work put in and content from this channel and Uncut podcast. Certainly do appreciate the teams love of single malt from barley to bottle. Glenallachie is great juice!
thanks Dan, glad you're still dramming along with us! one of the best out there for sure
Bet that tasted wonderful! 🔥
absolutely spot on!
Wonderful inside look guys! Interesting how your distillery tours have a totally different vibe from other content creators doing the same…great in depth questions and Stevie on the back end working magic 😉 And Jake, dont be offended…but im pretty sure you may be David Diamante’s son 😜…you should know him as a boxing fan I hope…now that would make a great Uncut/Unfiltered chat…he owns a bar in dntn NY so he would fit right in! Teach you a thing or two about your cigar passion too!
thanks Chaz! do you prefer our vibe or are there other tours online that you prefer? hahaha, that would be a wild episode for sure. we'll see what we can do about getting that in the lineup - don't hold your breath though!

@@chazchilly9697 let's see what we can do!
The MT lineup made into the states…rarely would i say 5 year olds hold value at $80usd…the MT absolutely does!!!
such good liquid isn't it! are they easy to find out with you?
Not easy at all…all the big box liquor stores don’t even have it…but a specialty shop along my daily work travels i frequent does!….just not the Turbo unfortunately. The Chinquapin is the winner of the 3 for me 👍🏼

beautiful made gents. Can't wait to taste billy's own distiled glenallachgie.
thanks Erwin, so glad you enjoyed it. ditto to that - the MT will have to suffice for now!
Is it the intervier doing the answers? So rude interview mouthtalking and ignorant, almost like bullying the staff. I would not invite this crap if I had a destillery. Really low mark on this one!!
I'm a bit confused by your comment but assume the essence of it is that you don't like my approach or style of interviewing. sorry you feel that way. Glenallachie are delighted with this video and what we created with them - their team watched it today and invited us back
This dude not even worth a reply Jake…
@@chazchilly9697 appreciate the support Chaz!
When I'm up that way, always take time to pop into Glenallachie to buy a few bottles. Also visit Glenfarclas which is just down the road. Great behind the scenes tour Jake.

Would really love to find to buy sample of new make spirit. And really thank you for video. Amazing tour. I wish you all the best for everything you doing

what's your favourite Duty Free expression to date?
@@TheWhiskyBaron every time i go into duty free, nothing i like... i can buy better on the internet... very rarely i see anything worth buying in duty free...and sometimes its more expensive than what i can find on the internet
@@aaabbbccc543 interesting.. I'd definitely keep your eyes open next time you run through as there are some fairly good deals to be had
Fantastic deep dive into this wonderful distillery. Great production value and interviewing, doing everything right!
thanks Will, that means a lot. really appreciate you being such a supportive and valued part of our community. have you been to Glenallachie yourself?
@@TheWhiskyBaron I unfortunately am an American so visiting requires a bit more planning and money. 🤣 I've been to Islay twice and lived in Scotland for a bit, currently planning my next trip there in the next few years. The Glenallachie is on the top of the list of distilleries. Hope to see you there!

thanks Juan! have you visited Glenallachie before yourself?
Hello Jake. Such a nice episode, thank you! Although it's one of the distillery isn't far away from me and a lot of times I visited it to have a bottle (or few), I still didn't managed to have a tour, so thanks again. Surely will go for a tour, just not now unfortunately. All the best to you!
thank you Yury; it's comments like this that make the time and effort we spend on our content so worthwhile. definitely well worth a tour of your own when you get the chance. sláinte my friend
What an awesome looking distillery. Bet it was an absolute pleasure being able to rummage around and rub new make on your hands 😁👏🏻
one of my top distillery visits to date JJ - seriously impressive what they're doing here and such a joy to see it first hand. could not recommend more highly
It’s probably my favourite in terms of the great whisky produced and defo the one I have the most bottles of. Love what they are doing with different casks and the pursuit of perfection as Billy calls its! Great video guys! 👏🏻
thanks Marsh! such a great distillery and so many exciting projects going on. can't wait to head back!
Very interesting to see a distillery tour of a site that has gone from 4million litres a year down to 800,000litres. Kinda like rehoming a battery hen and giving it a second life. Willie looks like he has a brilliant job with all those different casks coming in every week to fill and re-rack, never a dull day 😍
not quite the analogy I'd go with Jack but it's certainly amazing to see the turnaround that they have made here and the focus they have on excellence. maybe this humble Speyside distillery could pull you away from Arran?
@@TheWhiskyBaron ha now let’s stay in the realms of reality here 😂 I’ve already given my heart to Arran, perhaps a bit of spare time and weekend walks with GlenAllachie, but the box of Quality Street or Black Magic stays for Arran 😜
