I love these old reviews.. I stumbled upon a bottle of this today and it was $33.45us no added tax.. Ralfy gave it an 89 and you both gave it an 88. It is now my least expensive scotch whisky and I hope it is as good as you all say. I may have to go grab another one... Cheers gents!
@@ScotchTestDummies I bought it 7:30am...After your review, Ralfy and Gwhisky I felt I needed a half finger for science. It was certainly worth what I paid and I will use it to begin a flight very soon. Scott's new job whisky's are killing me...What incredible whiskies!
I think the colour of a whisky tells you something genuine about how that particular bottle came to be, that for me is part of the appreciation. That said it wouldn't prevent me from purchasing a bottle. Equally, I wish distillers trusted us enough to believe we wouldn't not buy a bottle because it was the 'wrong' colour. There's no such thing.
Nice review gentlemen. I really like the format of your show. Keep up the good work. I'm sure your channel will see tremendous growth this year. Thank you for the time, and effort involved in the making of these videos ! :) :)
For me, the Aultmore 12 I'I can get for CAN$30 cheaper than The Balvennie 12, plus it's higher abv, natural color, and non-chill-filtered. I can add more colour if I so please. I'll just buy food coloring. How does magenta color sound?
Aultmore certainly is extensively used in Dewars blends but it isn't the main source. That would be Aberfeldy. You can taste the peat in all the Dewar's blends.
chill filtering take the fats and oils out of the whisky and prevents the cloudiness when ice is added, but it takes a lot of flavor out of the whisky. e150 additive to color the whisky is wrong in many ways you just need to check out rally.com
+bushmillsrare ....checking it out right now. Bring on the comments! Is it a deal killer for you? Would not buy a scotch just because coloring is added?
+Scotch Test Dummies notice they always go with e150a when they want to defend caramel coloring because c,d are cheaper to produce yet are the worst to consumed . if they just used better barrels this problem would not exist
+bushmillsrare What's your opinion on Bushmills Black Bush? I just purchased a bottle and for the price point I really am enjoying it for the first Irish whiskey in my collection.
i agree, it's about the taste. but i do mind colouring. the colour can give you an inside at the aging on the type of wood, a peek at it's history. and did you drop the price im seeing on the website?? oh man, the whisky u can buy for that money.
+apu de geest ...you're probably looking at the website with the Single Malt Tomes which are kind of gift/collectible boxes. The Aultmore by itself in the liquor store should be $50 range.
+Bart Fargo Nice little kit but you are correct...on my budget I wouldn't have been able to afford it and would have spent my money on buying more spirit liquid over the display box. Bart. These are more of a tool for Dewars to get the word out on their single malt bottles.
This is THE very best scotch on the planet. Investigate the use of peat vs use of coke/coal. Better distilleries could afford coal....lesser ones had to use peat which unfortunately imparted a peaty aspect to the final product.
If I see Aultmore I will buy it, that is, if I have the money... Right now, I have a big pot of French vanilla ice cream with salted caramel swirl going, and my dram on the side of that is an Ardbeg Auriverdes with a splash of water...I'm pretty close to being in heaven, dummies...
its not a big deal to me about the colour added...the reason most do it is not to "fake" or hoax us into thinking a 3 year old whisky is aged 50 years in sherry barrels its simply to keep a standard level colour to the whisky...personally I don't like colour added but it makes no real difference to me....now the chill filtering is a whole different thing....every barrel will have slight variances in colour so they add a bit to keep them all the same...some people might get turned off if the bottle they buy now is a different colour then the last bottle they bought
If a scotch is that good, why add colourant? I won't purchase anything with added colorant. It's not hard; Macallan, Bruichladdich, Bunnahabhain, Glenglassaugh, Ardbeg, Highland Park, Benriach, AnCnoc, Balblair, Glendronach, Brora, Port Ellen, Glenfarclas just to name a few that don't add any colourant. I purchase a lot of scotch and I'm very picky about which scotches I purchase. As it is, I'm unable to purchase everything I want. So why drift into coloured scotches?

It will be at least as good as we say!

Scott's new job whisky's are killing me...What incredible whiskies!
Down here in the colony the present expression is 46% ABV natural colour and non chill filtered so all good. Delicious.
very nice, thanks Brad
@@ScotchTestDummies The common theme for "Last Great Malts" is.... they are all owned by Bacardi.

just saw Balvenie 12 dw here for $73 and they had a sign up with a one bottle limit!

+Ryan Sherry ...haven't had it or seen it yet. We do have a review of Bushmills 16 coming up.
Birthday celebration night for me. Tonight's selection: BenRiach 1977, 34 YO, OB, Sauternes Finish, cask 2593, bottled July 2012, nc/ncf, 44.2% = YUM²
+cato cato ...that sounds like my kind of scotch. Scott
Bart must love that jacket. Great review! Hope I get to try it.
+Ryan S. ...its the only jacket he's got.
i agree, it's about the taste. but i do mind colouring. the colour can give you an inside at the aging on the type of wood, a peek at it's history.
and did you drop the price im seeing on the website?? oh man, the whisky u can buy for that money.

+apu de gets The Tomes are expensive. Bart
+Scotch Test Dummies So for $600 you guys got a 3-page short story, a Glencairn, a UV light and a USB drive...congratulations?
Well, this was a review copy sent to us by Dewars so it was $0. Congratulations? Thanks for tuning in.

thanks SilverBeard!
This expression has been out for a while but doesn't seem to be readily available. Too bad. I'd like to give it a try. Thanks for the review dummies.
+cato cato ...definitely worth a buy. I haven't seen it locally yet either. Scott
If I see Aultmore I will buy it, that is, if I have the money... Right now, I have a big pot of French vanilla ice cream with salted caramel swirl going, and my dram on the side of that is an Ardbeg Auriverdes with a splash of water...I'm pretty close to being in heaven, dummies...
+fehquig ...don't tease us.
+fehquig You had me at "Salted Caramel Swirl" Bart
Roasted chestnuts are the "warm nuts" you described? Used to be able to buy them from street vendors in NYC last time I was there (early 1980s)
+Martin Collmer ...exactly!
+Martin Collmer "roasted chestnuts" sounds much better the "warm nuts"...from now on I don't use warm nuts. Bart
Chopped pear and red apple....soft oak....honey

+VaryingViewpoint I personally would prefer no color additive simply because I don't think it's needed. Bart
+Bonding With Board Games ....you better quit drinking Cragganmore then.
