Great opening… classic tree and music but most importantly… it’s all about the dram! Merry Xmas to you and yours Jess and the Channels Family too! Cheers to you! 🥂
Thanks and a merry merry and happy happy to you as well. I really enjoy your videos and couldn't agree more with the Bunna praise a - a remarkable whisky at a fair price. poured myself a dram to have along with the vid - so back to it now. and thanks again for this and all of your videos.
Hilariously, I’m having a dram of it as I respond to the comments. I’m picking up more notes as I spend time with it. I’m glad you like the vids. I look forward to making some great content in 2025.
Thank goodness you saved the bottle from dropping. LOL. Still loving the apron. One day you will have a "vault". Enjoying the video with a chilled bottle of sparkly Pellegrino. Joyeux Noel Jes and Family.
That would have been awful. I’m having a bit of it right now and loving every sip. I have a second apron that hasn’t made its onscreen debut yet. Maybe for 2025…
Comment no. 2 At the end of the video, I would leave the old videos as they are, I look at how you react and describe a whisky over the arbitrary number at the end. Maybe it would help to use one or two other whiskies in the same flavor range and say " I like it better than, so and so, or less than, to give differrent context. Two bottles that NEVER leave my bar are Arran 10, one of the best IMO. And Ledaig 10. Also a stellar dram. Both are shockingly affordable here in the Netherlands for about 32-40 euros.
Arran 10 and Ledaig 10 are both constantly on my bar cart as well. I’ll likely not buy another Octomore at this point due to the current prices. Which makes me sad.
Love this whisky. Still tasty year over year and perfect for Christmas. Couldn't agree more with what whisky costs these days. I keep looking for bargins, but harder to find. Merry Christmas my friend. I hope you have a great holiday! For me, I shoot the way I want and encourage you to do the same. If the number rating is not going well for you, drop it. I specifically did not go with the 100 point scale; nose, palate, finish. I only want to give general impression, and just to be overly critical here online. Anyway, Nikka from the Barrel should always be stocked! Cheers!
Yes, I’m going to change it up for the next year in little ways. I’ve been fighting with a bit of burnout, I think. Getting rid of the number system for me will be a big step forward.
That is a snazzy Apron. I have to say I 100% agree on whisky costs... Octomore I loved and bought with pain in my wallet for ~170 euros... running 300 here now... Bunna 12 is always great and a very good choice for Christmas. It has been ruined for me because of the 12YO Cask Strength. My christmas whisky this year is a 13-Year old Signatory Cask Strength Macallan. Excellent stuff and only 50 euros which made me snap up a few more 😂. Happy Holidays. Always enjoy your videos.
Good old Signatory, eh? Sounds like a great buy. I haven’t had the bun a cask strength yet, but I’ll keep an eye out for it. It would be cool to do a comparison vid.
