    Nice list Geoff there is no issue on the order cause it’s a matter of personal preferences. I would have try to rank deanston within even if it’s almost impossible to kick someone else out. Your Laphroaig is incredibly tasty and worth reviewing even if it’s a bit expensive for me in Canada. I like your sense of humor and again a good work! Santé à toi! 🥃

    Not many things are as valuable when choosing what to buy as the opinion of the community, Thank you Geoff and everyone for the recommendations.
    This was my selection when Roy invited us to vote a few months ago, the absence of some favorites is because I can't get them where I am.
    10 - Oban
    09 - Bladnoch
    08 - Glenturret
    07 - Laphroaig
    06 - Tobermory
    05 - Ardbeg
    04 - Benromach
    03 - GlenScotia
    02 - Bunnahabhain
    01 - Bruichladdich
    Cheers 🥃

    Bruichladdich is my number 1. I love their products and they are responsible for me getting into scotch due tasting I did of their product (put on by the distributor at one of my local liquor stores) with my dad back in 2013.

    Hi jeoff
    My pick for number #1 has to be deanston organic oloroso sherry cask, but to tell the truth is any deanston is on my list of great scotches, I do however like bunnahabhain as my number 2 distillery of all-time,great list, and keep up the great reviews !!!

    Excellent ranking. I agree. Springbank #1. I've not totally connected with the Craigellachie 13 yet but have total confidence in your opinion so I am sticking with Craigellachie & waiting for that "moment". Thinking about investing in the 17 but kind of expensive in the US +/- $160. Great idea on the Kilkerran comparison. Try the 2023 KK16. Next level. Thanks for the awesome content.

    1. Laphroaig. I adore almost everything they do. Their PX and 10 Sherry are divine, and I wish they didn't discontinued their Triple Wood. Their 10 CS is my favorite whisky, period.
    2. Kilchoman. Everything they do is gold. Their Machir Bay CS might be one of my favorites of all time.
    3. Lagavulin. The 8 and the 16 are so solid I rely on them on a weekly basis. Amazing stuff.
    4. Glengyle. Their 12 is one of my favorites of all time, and their 8 CS and their Heavily Peated are absolutely incredible.
    5. Glendronach. Their 12 is probably my favorite daily sipper. Everything else is absolutely amazing: the Peated one, their Port wood one, their 15, their CS... Just superb.
    6. Glenrothes. I might be the only one that thinks that their basic and widely available 10, 12 and Makers Cut are just insanely good. I love them.
    7. Tobermory. The regular 10 and the Rioja casks are just incredible. Their Tobermory 12 is dramatically underrated, I LOVE it.
    8. Ardbeg. Their 5, 10, the Corryvreckan and the Uigeadail are amazing. Even bad batches are way better than 99% of available Scotch. I wish they just stopped the special releases.
    9. Edradour. The 12 and the Signatory Vintage 10's are insanely good. Regular Ballechin 10 is outstanding.
    10. Glenglassaugh. Their 12 is glorious and criminally underrated. Their Portsoy is just one of the best peated Scotches out there, totally ignored for some reason.
    11. Springbank.
    Special mention to Bunnahabhain (their 12 CS is incredible, their Staoisha is shockingly delicious), Longrow (I can't believe it is widely available), Tomintoul (Old Ballantruan is the most underrated Scotch ever), Caol Ila (Port Askaig 100º is insanely good), Mortlach (the 14 is one of the best sherried whiskys I've ever tried, IB's are insanely good), Lagg (their future CS 10/12 yo will be the best Scotch ever, trust me), Bladnoch (best aroma of any Scotch, except Laphroaig, of course) and Glen Scotia (amazing 15 and Victoriana, their heavily peated Scotch is underrated as hell)

    Springbank, Bruichladdie and Kilkerran belong in the top 3 for me, the order can be debated. I did feel that Speyside was not well represented in either list. I’d have Glendronach in my top 5, 12 is a daily sipper, most releases are presented as craft. Balvenie deserves a top 10 spot as well IMO, they rarely miss on anything.

    I revisited the Ledaig rioja and the 10 after a while (my first impression was that I preferred it over the 10)... Surprised how alcoholic the Rioja felt, way too young. I turned around completely, I absolutely prefer the 10, by quite a margin actually (after that I actually took my rioja bottle to my parents house in case I want to sip something while there). Also I went over a bottle of the 18 a bit faster than I should have (mostly because I had a replacement which I don't always do) and I have to admit I got a bit sick of it. Way too sweet. Don't get me wrong, it's amazing, but I kept coming back to it too much for my own good and now I don't want anything to do with it. Good thing the other bottle is sealed, I'll come back to it when the time is right, maybe in a year or so. Cheers!

Pretty sure Gwhisky's bottle is old and colored, the newer ones are much, much lighter (I heard on WhiskyLock that only recently Ledaig stopped coloring their whisky even though that's not official anywhere. Makes sense because I know for a fact that older bottles of both the Rioja and the 18 are much, much darker).

    Solid list man, I'm more in line with yours than the Dramface one. I'd get Glengyle out of your list, as completely opposite of you, I never had a Kilkerran I enjoyed, and instead of Springbank because let's be honest unless we travel to Campbeltown we can't get them or at least get them at a fair price. Instead I'd put Deanston and Glen Scotia.

    I used to be kind of a dork (Ha! "Used to be...." 😆 ) and say, "Who cares about distillery rankings instead of specific bottles? Does it really matter?" Smarter Me says, "Actually... when I'm in the liquor store and they have a unicorn store pick or IB single barrel bottling of an 11yo heavily peated Bunnahabhain, will I take a flyer on that?" Yes. Yes, I will. An 11 year old bottle of Jura? Uh, maybe not.....

      Don't you think the reputation of a distillery matters? I do, particularly when it comes to plunking down good money for a bottle.

      @@MrChristopherMolloy I will be very interested if I can buy a Signatory offering of a 14 yo single cask from Bowmore, bottled at cask strength. And there's virtually no way in hell that I would buy a Bowmore 12 yo official bottling. Same distillery, I think....

      @@mtpanning Good point, but the question was "Top 10 Distilleries". But to your point, if you were presented with the option of purchasing either an 18yo Signatory Cask Strength bottling of Glen Keith or Bowmore of the same pedigree, the underlying reputation of the distillery might play a factor in your decision, or I may be wrong?

      @@MrChristopherMolloy Yeah, I'm not arguing with you. I guess what I'm saying - quite clumsily, I'm afraid - is that distillery reputation only really matters to me if I need to take a shot in the dark with an unknown IB offering (for example, I have no idea if this bottle is good, but I'll give it a try because it's from Clynelish, and I like that distillery. Official bottlings are usually well-known enough that you can know from the bottles themselves (for example, I'm willing to spend on the Talisker 10yo, but the 18yo isn't worth the money.)
