Bunnahabhain 12 is so incredible. I keep telling my "strictly bourbon" friends that they're missing out (every single person I've got to try it became an instant convert).
It's the Scotch that got me to really start exploring other whiskies.
Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie is also Islay and unpeated. It's very similar, comes in a cool bottle, and tastes great. Can't wait for you guys to try those Cask Strength Scotch pours.
I agree. It is easy to find in stores, and many bars and restaurants have it, so anyone who wants to try it should have the opportunity to do so. Bruichladdich also makes an excellent peated whisky that is easy to find and reasonably priced - Port Charlotte 10-year. I recently added a bottle to my collection, and I have been enjoying it.
Classic laddie - hmm, another very good whiskey, although it plays a bit more on the butter biscuit line. Oh, and the packaging is gorgeous.
Yeah Bruichladdich classic laddie. Get the bunnahabhain 12 cask strength 2022 bottling. Sherry 💣
I'm so glad you liked this!! ❤️ Also that *bruichladdich has entered the chat in the edit was so good 😂
Came here to say the same😅
@@adubmatters3584 Same, wonderful
Bunnahabhain 12 and Glenfarclas 12 are 2 of my favorite Scotches!! Glad you liked it!!
If you like the 12, the 18 is even more incredible and concentrated.
Great video! I recently did a Scotch for bourbon drinkers video, this Scotch was definitely on there. One of my favorites.
I haven’t ventured into Scotch yet but I will give it a try tonight at my neighborhood bar. Thanks
Bruichladdich Classic Laddie is unpeated islay too. It’s one of my favorites too.
Bunnahabhain 12 was one of the very first Scotches I tried when I began my whisky journey, and I found it to be awesome. I do like Bruichladdich even more, but as entry Scotch to introduce to others, Bunna 12 is right at the top of the list. Thanks for posting the video.
Hey guys, enjoying your video I love the Bunnahabhain 12. It’s hard to find here in Calgary but I saw it on sale at a local store for 65 Canadian so I bought a case I’m so happy I did it went back up to $80
Bourbon drinker here. Bunnahabhain 12 was the first scotch I ever bought myself and I love it! Now I need to start exploring more scotch and other whiskey categories.
Bunna 12 is one of my favorites. Good to see you guys appreciate good Scotch Whiskies. Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie is also unpeated.
That was fun to watch, and my first video of your channel, though I will say... my sincere apologies up front, Erin would have me running for the hills if I was the guy sitting next to her receiving those comments on a regular basis. Yikes. I know that's way off topic, but felt oddly compelled to mention it. Back on topic, Bunna 12 is incredible stuff.
DAng nice! Bunna 12 CS is my FAVORITE whiskey, but I've oddly yet to try the regular. I will buy it next time. I have not problem finding the Bunna 12CS in December at Total Wines in the Northeast. Last year it was $95, and I see the regular 12 everywhere for $65-$70.
Really like your format. It's great to get info on other whiskeys besides bourbon! My whiskey journey started with scotch many years ago .
Appreciate the kind words Mark and glad you're liking our content! Cheers!
You are responsible for my Balvenie addiction. I really like the 15 year and I just checked my total wine and they have the 21. $300! Not telling my wife. And now the Bunnahabhain 12. Though they list it at 80 proof. The cask strength is 110 but out of stock. As usual, great video. Maybe a show on non peated scotch’s? I am not a peat fan so a selfish request. Cheers.
Once we get a few more Scotches under our belt we'll definitely make some "favorites" videos. The Balvenie 21 Year Portwood will be a birthday bottle this year. It's happening. So good!
"If you are right, congratulations on being right." My wife's new favorite passive aggressive phrase! Well done, Erin!
😂😂
I discovered Bunnahabhain a few years ago when I tried the 18-year at a bar. I currently have a bottle in my collection. If you get a chance to try the 18-year, go for it. Like most 18-year Scotch whiskies, it is rather expensive, but I think it is worth it. I recently found the 12-year in a mini-bottle and gave it a try. It is good stuff, and it is readily available and a better value than the 18-year. I have been keeping an eye out for the cask strength version, and I will grab it if I see it, but I haven't found it yet. I do not enjoy engaging in the hunt for hard-to-find whisky, but a cask strength Bunnahabhain is something that I will put in some effort to find. After the 18-year runs down, I hope I will have a 12-year cask strength to replace it. The bar where I first tried the 18-year keeps it in stock, so I can always order it there if I want it in the future.
Bunnahabhain is natural color and non chill filtered. I look for this in Scotch; it makes a big difference. Scotland really needs to stop allowing added coloring in single malts - it serves no useful purpose. Chill filtration removes a lot of flavor and body from pot still whiskies and makes them seem rather watered down, but it allows them to remain crystal clear when they are bottled at less than 46% ABV and poured over ice, so the major producers love to use this process. Bunnahabhain 18 was my gateway into naturally presented Scotch, and I have since discovered many others. Now, it is hard to go back to the lower strength, heavily filtered ones that I used to like.
Very intrigued. Bourbon guy and really don't care much for scotch at all. I've tried so hard. Love me some Irish Whiskey though, so I'm not a bourbon snob. Jameson Caskmates Stout Edition and Jameson Black Barrell both = YUM! If only they were higher proof, that is all that is missing. 2 of the easiest sipping juice, I've ever had -- If someone doesn't like whiskey, let them try those 2. I'm very eager to try Bunnahabihaianbaian 12 year now!!!!
I like the bunnahabhain 12, it’s a good pour. Speaking of cask strength and Irish whiskeys, I just found a bottle of redbreast 12 cask strength and it’s fabulous. Hope you get to try that one out.
That’s a bottle we definitely hope to find sometime!
What’s interesting to me was that at least in Canada, over 5 years back, it felt like bourbon was the better value, more flavourful whisky for money over single malts in the 50 to 100 (Can) range. Somewhere along the line things have flipped back a bit and especially in the 80 to 100 range, there are a broader range of whisky experiences from Scotland and we see too much overpriced (though often tasty) bourbon.
Bunna is a classic representation of satisfying yet unusual whisky through and through.
I LOVE THIS STUFF! It was the first Scotch that made me love Scotch Malt whisky
Had the 18 at my brother's at Christmas. Very nice
Bunna 12 cask strength is AMAZING. Especially the 2022. If you like the regular 12 you have to get the cask strength
Great review! I also really love this Scotch. Since you love this Scotch, try Bladnoch Vinaya. It is a Lowland Scotch that has a similar experience, abet a little softer.
I am so fortunate that this is only £40 in London (makes up for the higher cost of bourbons). It sounds totally up my wheelhouse so it's going on my list of future purchases. Cask strength is £80. I might try the cask strength next time I go to a whisky bar.
The oldest scotch in my collection is a 34 cask strength bunnahabhain from the independent bottler "The Whisky Agency". I had a pour while in Scotland and then searched 4 years on secondary markets to procure a bottle. If you are ever in Scotland, their tour is great.
My goodness, a 34 year cask strenght Bunna!? That sounds GLORIOUS!
@@stuffandwhiskey it is. One of those rare times when I was able to try a pour before purchasing a bottle.
Bunna 12 CS is really pretty special. I imported a bottle direct from the distillery but I'm in Canada. You would have to check to see if they will do the same to Tennessee.
You should definitely buy the Bunnahabhain 12 cask strength 2022 edition
the 2022 cask strength may be the best value in whisky right now if you can get it at retail. i have a bottle, a back up bottle, and im contemplating getting a third. amazing batch this year.
I love both Bunna as well as Bruichladdich but I do prefer Bruichladdich. Minimum ABV on all their offerings is 50%
The Bunnahabhain 12 was a Semifinalist in my March Malt Madness, and in general I'm not a massive fan of sherry-influenced scotch. So good.
Binny's has the cask strength for $90. The Bunna has a heavy sherry influence. Pair it with the Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie which is also unpeated Islay, but ex-bourbon matured.
Bruichladdich is definitely on the radar to try now.
Bunnahabhain also makes a peated scotch: Toiteach A Dhà (Smokey Two). I just got one but haven't opened it yet.
Visited Bunnahabhain on my 50th last year, along with others. It's a very good scotch! Cheers guys, love your channel.
Thanks for the kind words Mark!
Picked a bottle of this up today at my Specs. Very good stuff. Would have never ever even thought to look for it, as I'm not a Scotch guy. But it's great.
Bunna 12 - yes, it is one of my favorites. There are few such good whiskeys at such a good price, especially in Europe.
Best $60 Single Malt Scotch on the planet. Done. Mic drop. This was the Scotch that changed my preference to Scotch over Bourbon. So many more flavors to explore in Scotch. The 18 is great but not worth almost 2.5x the price...the 2022 Cask strength is also phenomenal and roughly $90.
We’d be so happy if we could get it at $60. $85 is the most recent price at the local Total Wine.
@@stuffandwhiskey Yikes! that's crazy.
Bunnahabhain 12 is a great scotch whisky. I can find this pretty easy in my state. Cheers...
You guys have great chemistry together!
Thanks so much! Cheers!
I just bought a bottle of this recently as I have tried to increase my knowledge and appreciation of Scotches. I agree with you that this is a very good Scotch. Will definitely have to look for the cask strength.
Here’s to hoping we both find the cask strength variant soon!
If you want the 2022 Cask Strength a few of the Binny's stores have them. The stock is limited so you might want to check into it soon. It's listed at $89.99. It has somewhat of a Sherry finish and when you sip it you'll know there's spirit in it that has to be more than 12 years old.
We're on the hunt!
If you're interested in buying a bottle of Bunnahabhain - 12 Year Cask, Gillete wine and spirits. You have to go to search and type in Bunnahabhain cask. You won't find it under Scotch or even country of orgin.
Will look for that cask strength!
Top notch one of my fav Scotches the cask strength is awesome to for another 15 bucks or so
If you ever get the opportunity, try any of the Bruichladdich Black Arts series. You won't be disappointed.
I'm Chicagoland
Probably my favorite scotch.
That bottle is 58 bucks here in Central Florida.
Crazy good value at that price!
This review has got so much gravitas!
This is one of my mere two scotches. It’s for sure a good one. I’m still working my way into scotch. The other is Ardbeg Uigeadial.
Ardbeg Wee Beastie is very good at half the price.
Where are you gonna be in Chicago?
The weekend of May 20th. Looking forward to it!
I really enjoy you guys. "real" people" non pretentious. And Yes, Bunnahabhain 12..😍
Thanks so much Debby! If it doesn't feel like a conversation we could have with folks when we have friends over, then it's not the kind of content we want to make. Always happy to hear that that shines through. Cheers!
Bunna 12 is one of favorites
Bruichladich also is an Isla and does unpeated. The Bunna 12 Cask is absolutely a great pour - have both -love them- I can find both in CT pretty easily! Cheers!
We might need to talk Peter! The 12CS is seemingly nonexistent in the Nashville, TN market.
@@stuffandwhiskey I have the 2021 CS , my brother had the 2022 CS (might like 22 a sliver better) I recall 2-3 stores in my area recently that still have 2022. If so I may be able to help you out if you need.
@@peterb.3278 if you do happen to stumble across one and don't mind working something out, definitely email us. We're VERY interested.
I confirmed there are a few Bunna 12 year Cask Strengths in my area- if you interested send me a good email to connect- I’m flexible & pretty sure we can work something out!
Hahahahahahaha - Bruichladdich enters the chat. I just watched Peter's Scotch for beginners vid 30 minutes ago. I have Bruichladdich Classis Laddie on my list of scotch for beginners.
Bunnahabhain 12 is amazing :-)
Golden raisins is probably what you were searching for Erin.
That’s it!
Arran 10 is fantastic
Stay tuned. 😉
Josh can we get a special episode of your watch collection. Hah
Once upon a time I did consider starting a watch channel. Have really settled into my collection (14060M Sub, 114270 Explorer, 16013 birthyear Datejust, Seiko SRPE91, LE Monta Skyquest Gen 1, DW5600MS-1, Casio calculator) so it would be pretty boring at this point, but all the pieces I do have are highly meaningful.
“Hit the thumbs down if you think it’s trash” 😆 I can’t say I have ever heard a channel say to hit the thumbs down #thatsafirst #youheardithereonstuffandwhiskey
I’ll have to check this one out, I have been curious about the unpeated Islay scotches. All.., two? Of them?! 😆
Now you guys gotta try port charlotte
We want to try that one so bad!
For me I get prune juice, Mike & Ike candies, and grape jam
$62 in Ohio and readily available.
I really like Scotch but it would be impossible for me to sit so close to this beautiful and gorgeous woman and focus on the whisky. Josh, you are a damn lucky bastard. 😂
Oh, by the way, the Bunnahabhain 12 is of course a great whisky!
So happy this did not disappoint. Check your email! 😁
It is ok. I had a bottle and it is ok but haven't bought another bottle.
I think I have 10 scotches for every bottle of bourbon in my collection.
The only unpeated Islay scotch...Jim McEwan says hold my dram....
The 2022 cask strength is way better
Since I have been turned onto "good scotch" I don't even care about bourbon anymore!
I do believe some of the blend is ex-Sherry.
About 30% from what we’re reading. It’s wonderful!
A great scotch for bourbon fans. It's as findable as WT 101.
Dennis we may need to talk! We're striking out on finding it in our market but definitely need to try this at cask strength!
@@stuffandwhiskey Are you searching for the cask strength or the 12-year? The 12-year is fairly abundant near me. However, I have not seen the cask strength.
@@dennisweedman4374 the cask strength, which we were able to track down thanks to some help. We do have the standard 12 year here but it's priced fairly high ($85). Going to see if we can score it cheaper in Chicago next month (looks like many Binny's have it for $65).
@@stuffandwhiskey Binny's at $65 is a great price. It's in the $69-$73 range in the Metro-St. Louis area.
Hey, if you don’t want to drink, spit! You’ll get no judgment from this audience member.
No no no no no... You guys are wrong on this one. It sucks and totally not worth the price, nobody should buy it.
