Cheers my friend....thanks for dropping by....out of interest what would your top 5 be?
All the runners up are excellent mate, excited to see the number one! Always value your palate and opinion my friend, Merry Christmas!!
Cheers buddy...its been a great whisky year ...
Thank you excellent video😊
Thanks for dropping by William ...what would your top 5 be my friend..?
Nice list Alan. Season greetings.
Cheers Gert happy holidays to you and yours my friend....
No spoilers ... but #5 just doesn't miss.
Great Video and now I have some new bottles to go after!!
Glad to be of service Marty...cheers fella
Love the background
Thank you for dropping by, what would your top 5 be my friend...
I'm enjoying the Ardna Sherry cask & a PC10 for the festive period. Both great drams, really can't wait for Ardnamurchan's juice to hit 10 years as it's already amazing. For me, Ardna Sherry > Springbank 10. When I compare the sherry and particularly the peat influence in the Ardna, it's just more interesting, much tastier. PC10 is probably my whisky of the year. Exceptional stuff.
Look out for my next video later today...i think you will like it....😜
All great bottles!!thanks Alan!
What would your top 5 be?
A touch of Islay is for me 🥰. I have jump on the Compass Box fan wagon. I feel like I’m missing out. Cheers buddy have a merry Christmas 🎄 🥃
There all great Antonio thanks for dropping by and happy holidays to you and yours from me and mine...c u in 2024 my friend...cheers😜🤣
My whisky of the year is Loch Lomond 12. It’s affordable and could go toe to toe with Springbank 10! It’s also readily available everywhere!
I agree with this. Get past the neck and leave it for a few weeks and its a great dram.
No Campbelltown Loch?
Alan looking good with the tan.
What would your top 5 be fella...?
Good video mate.
Cheers fella...what would your 5 be?
The man sure likes his sherry 😄. Great wee video Alan, all top drams, fine selection. Looking forward to seeing what your #1 is! Have a great festive season, all best wishes.
Just a coincidence Tim, think i have just been sipping on more sherry this year....thanks for dropping by and happy holidays to you and yours from me and mine....
Thanks for sharing Alan.
Interesting list with something for every sherried whisky lover to enjoy.
Slàinte mhath
C'mon Frank i put a wee bit of PC10 just for you my friend...🤣
@@thewhiskyfriend and that is highly appreciated, Alan. Slàinte
@peathead4450 thanks for dropping by fella...out of curiosity what would your top 5 be Frank?
@@thewhiskyfriend O dear. Have only thought about my no1. And then with the restriction I tasted the whisky for the first time this year. That no1 would be a Glen Scotia from SMWS. Next to that probably a Craigellachie (also SMWS), the Kilchoman 100% (this years release), a Benromach distillery exclusive (picked up last year, but first taste this year) ... and the 5th ... don't know.
@peathead4450 my fav smws was also a Glen Scotia...mechanic stolling by the sea...its incredible Frank....happy xmas and a wonderful new year to you and yours from me and mine....c u in 2024 (hopefully)...cheers my friend...
5 exquisite objects...but the Ardna is sheer goodness...on the other hand, and this is purely subjective, the Speyburn continues to do nothing at all for me; still coming across as a rather ordinary malt
Great set of bottles Alan. Opened my Thompson Brothers TB/BSW last night and already think i will get two more to put away for the future. Cheers
That sounds like a plan Tim it wont be around for ever....what would your top 5 be Tim?
Alan! Love the list. I gotta get my hands on that Orchard House. Not seen the Thomson Brothers where I am in northeast USA. Couldn't agree more about the Speyburn 15, Port Charlotte, and Ardnamurchan. All great pours. Looking forward to your WOTY. Cheers pal!
Great video as always Alan, i need to try the Port Charlotte and the Speyburn. Interestingly, I just put my Orchard House and GlenCadam into my long-term storage for the winter. Making room for the winter whiskys on my shelf.
What you waiting for fella?
Hi Alan. A very nice list indeed, got four of the five. Think I know what your WOTY is gonna be (B CS 2022?🤔). My top three are Benromach CS, AnConc 18 and Kilkerran 12 . Slàinte Alan
Close David it was in contention....
but i cant have the same whisky 2 years in a row people will think im on bunnas payroll...but its a cracker fella...woty to follow soon...its so underrated fella....
Great candidates for the runner-ups Alan. My 5 would include, Indri, Arran QC, Tobermory 12, Glenallachie 15, Glencadam 10. I have had a couple of bottles of CB Orchard House this year, fantastic stuff. I would love to try out some Thompson Bro's but I cannot get it in my market unfortunately. Ardnamurchan is similar on the availability challenge front. Cheers for the holiday season Alan!
@Rohit_M I presume you r from India .. Arrans , Tobermory, GlenAllachie , Glencadam.. all these whiskies r unfortunately not available in India. Just wanna know from where do you manage to find them!?.. if you r staying outside of India, then my question is irrelevant..
@@purushtam9353 no, I don't live in India and have almost no knowledge of the liquor market down there but I agree, it's very unlikely you are going to find some of these bottles in India. I do love some of the new make spirits from up and coming distilleries in India though. We have opposite problem, I can't get some of those bottles where I live. I did manage to get some Amrut, Paul John and Indri is my latest purchase.
@@Rohit_M thanx!! I’ll pick up few of these good bottle when travel to Europe this year.. 👍🏻
Great top five list Alan.
My whisky of the year is the Port Charlotte 10yo. In my opinion I think it's getting better. In a close second place is Meikle Toir the Turbo if you get your hands on one I'd love to see a review as it's a belter. As you can see I like my peat 😂
Great Danny, i have all the meikle toirs except turbo...still trying to track one down
For as good as the Speyburn 15 is…the 18 is an absolute no brainer buy…its head and shoulders better than the 15 for small increment more…competes with many other sherried 18’s imo
Love your work Alan. You are becoming my top along with 'Whisky Jason' as authentic malt whisky guides. Less lecturing/caustic than Ralfy but more realistic helpful. Merry Christmas to you and your family and look forward to more informative posts in 2024.
Thanks gor dropping by Gregg and your kind words my friend, glad to be of service ..what would your top 5 be ?
Hi Alan, certainly in my top 5 2023 would have to be the Bunnahabhain 12 year cask strength 2022. Just a brilliantly made sherried whisky and not 'over the top' in price.So complex and so much going on there!@@thewhiskyfriend
Have them all Alan and I agree with you on them all except port charlotte which I wasn't impressed with
p.s whats the nam of the intro song by the way and thanks for this great video

Dont get it…
Your list is too expensive. Speyburn 15 was my Whisky of the year last year
Thanks for dropping by my friend, the list is about the best available whiskies of 2023 NOT the cheapest the most expensive was the ardnamurchan at £65 , however all the rest are between £35 AND £55...Just out of interest what would your 5 be ?
