Great list Alan - I have them all except the Glen Allachie . And I have tried all the others and live them all. I actually have the Glen Cadam 21, not the 15... Glad you picked 3 from Campbeltown. Always a pleasure to watch you. Thanks
Cheers Gary...if you get a chance you must try bothe the Glenallachie 10 cask strength and the 12...they are both superb and now they have just released the 15 and I am really looking forward to that ..Billy Walker is doing his stuff at Glenallachie just like he was at Glendronach. Cheers fella
Thanks for your reviews. I thought your choices were really good and mostly accessible to beginners. I’ll bet most of your viewers would be interested in the “special” stuff you might run across. Please keep us posted on “future Unicorns”.
Excellent recommendations Alan. Great distillery choices. Was sipping on both Springbank 10 & Glendro 18 tonight. Those Hazelburn Olorosos are fantastic as you say, loved the 13 top to bottom. Cheers!
Great list, I love ECBP. We will soon have our first Springbank, it will be the 12 Cask Strength. Breana said the Glendronach and Glengoyne both sound good. I also finally got a Glenallachie which I'd been hunting since Ralfy's recommendation. Cheers! 🥃 - Patrick
Great video, Alan. The Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is on the wants list definitely, I've heard plenty of people raving about it. I still have a bottle of the 12 year old tucked away - love that stuff. Cheers!
What a superb choice!!!!! Have loved all of them other than the 25yo Glengoyne which I have yet to taste. But love Glengoyne. Thanks once again for your great style and presentation.
Awesome list Alan! I’ve actually had all of them other than the Glengoyne 25 & that’s definitely on my list of “spoil yourself” whiskies to buy someday. 🥃😄
Fantastic, and mostly easily affordable list, Alan! Compared to most other folks', I've actually tried most of these, and love them all! The 25yo's I'll get to eventually ;) Cheers!
An excellent list as well as an accessible list. Well done Alan! Question, I was watching a review this afternoon and it went blank almost halfway through. It was a head to head of 2 U.S. bourbons. Did you change your mind and decide to release this video today instead?
Thanks Rob...the bourbon video was put out in error earlier...should have been next week buddy after the Glenfarclas conclude ...it will go out as planned next week...just put this out as a bonus video as i am away on holiday for 2 weeks fella..dont think there will be another for about 3 weeks fella...
Starting off with a bang! Both the Springbank 10 and Kilkerran 12 had me buying TWO backup bottles soon after I'd bought and sampled one. Truly magnificent whiskies, both. Unfortunately Glencadam is quite scarce here in the states, especially the 15-year-old, and even GlenDro 15 is pretty hard to find.
They release 3 versions per year in abc format... I was lucky enough to be sent a sample of the B519 and it was wonderful... But in my opinion all versions of the ECBP are all consistently wonderful.. So if you see one pick it up my friend... Where are you from..? and of course thanks for watching... Hopefully you have subscribed to watch me review and sample more great whiskies and bourbons...where do you live I might be able to share a sample...?
@@ronaldbeerguy fill your boots my friend there are plenty to watch... Hope you remembered to subscribe.... Be careful of the livestreams they tend to go on a bit... Where you from fella?
What are the closest expressions to Kilkeran 12? Haven't tried the distillery, heard a lot of great feedbacks, but I also did about Tomatin 12 and Legacy and I do not enjoy that profile, so would nice to know what character it is.
Interesting list Alan, sadly I have only tried 1 of those. What happened to the ECBP v the other bourbon I can't remember the name of vid? I was wondering how they compare price wise, but can't check it myself now as I don't remember the name of the younger bourbon. It was odd as the comments weren't showing in that vid and so I hit refresh part way through, but then it just said the vid had been removed, so I can't look up the name to do the price comparison myself. Enjoy your holiday anyway Alan, hope you go somewhere nice. It would be good to get out the country just now to get a break from all the brexit nonsense, nevermind the weather! Cheers.
Yes Chris it was released in error my friend... It will come out next week once I have concluded Glenfarclas.. It was Saint Cloud kentucky bourbon Chris... High proof and under 4 years... Back to the list... You need to get on all of these my friend... Cheers fella
@@thewhiskyfriend Whoa, it is actually a fair bit more expensive (in the US at least) than the ECBP, I wasn't expecting that, thought it would be the other way around to be honest. Cheers.
@@thewhiskyfriend I've had the Springbank and the ECBP. Need to work further up that Glenfarclas line for sure. I tried the Glendronach 12 and it didn't really fit my pallette. I might not be one for Sherry bombs. I like it when the Sherry is taking more of backseat to everything else. I'll have to try Glengoyne at some point. A little about what I've been into; I've been recently diving into a lot of Texas whiskies. Im currently loving a dram of the Kavalan ex bourban oak. Bunnahabhain is probably my favorite distillery.
Nice Thomas... I am definitely a lover of sherry bombs... Bunnah 12 & 18 sound like they would be right up your alley... The new glenallachie range is worth looking out for... Happy drams my friend and remember the pleasure is in the Sharing... Cheers Alan
@@thewhiskyfriend Only got into single malts in last 2 years.Visited GLENFARCLAS last year and Gordon & McPhail is world famous whisky shop in Elgin where I grew up!My father drinks "Grouse"...used to drink Macallans!Only 13 miles away!!🥃🥃🥃
@@iancrombie8862 I have a friend who lives up there, he can see 4 distilleries from his house, he moved there 20 years ago and has only started loving whisky...what's going on....lol
There were some I did not expect like Kilkerran or Glencadem. Have not tried any whisky of this destilleries but maybe I should. Apart from that I was never disappointed by any whisky of Glengoyne, but the 25 years old one was always to expensive for me.
the whisky friend I haven’t but it’s definitely on my list. They don’t carry it at my local store so I’ll have to drive into Dallas to grab one. Cheers and thanks for the insightful reviews.
Went through all of the top 10 whiskies before you die and I love your list the most! Tried all of these and 100% in agreement to your selection
Thank you D So for your kind words, there are so many great whiskies and I'm sure I could do another list of 10 easy... Thanks for watching...
Great list! I'm in love with the newest Springbank 10, awesome stuff. Cheers
Cheers Jeremy.. There are some great whiskies without busting the bank....
Great list Alan - I have them all except the Glen Allachie . And I have tried all the others and live them all.

Alan, Great list and good seeing you are well over 2,200 views so far on this vid. Cheers!!
cheers buddy...sorry about tonight...system failure still not sure what happened...good old Erik....
Fantastic, and mostly easily affordable list, Alan! Compared to most other folks', I've actually tried most of these, and love them all! The 25yo's I'll get to eventually ;) Cheers!
Cheers James... The 25 GG is defo a must try dram
Nice list Alan. Lately I’ve been curious about Springbank. I’ll have to find it at a bar before i spend my money
Glendronach 18 Allardice is the best whisky I’ve ever tasted. Insanely good. The 15 is similar and excellent, but the 18 just cranks it all up to 11!
It is a real belter of a whisky Bruno... Thanks for sharing fella...
Alan
I have tried everything on your list and I have to say they are all excellent. Great choices.
Looks like I need to do a new list just for you my friend....lol
Big list! Thanks for sharing and I now have a lot of new whisky to hunt down before I kick-off! Cheers Alan!
An excellent list as well as an accessible list. Well done Alan!
