    Still relatively new to whisky, finally opened up a bottle of the famous Lagavulin 16 this year and it does not disappoint! Other favorites of the year include Old Pultney 12, Talisker Storm, and Aarran 10.

      With bottles like that I'd say you're off to a GREAT start!

    Got to try Bunnahabhain 12 and loved every sip of it. Saw and bought the Cask Strength 2022 and it was a no brainer for me. Shared it with my friends :) Happy Holidays!

    Nice review, guys! Love Orchard House. Actually doing a Compass tasting in a few days. (I posted on the CB taste through but no response : ( We'll be tasting Artist, Glasgow, Orchard, Peat Monster, Spice Tree, Spaniard and Hedonism. I want to include one special rel that is maybe not too duplicative of these. Don't know if you've tried them but what do you think btwn Canvas, Experimental, Menagerie, Circles and Juveniles? thank you!

    Merry Christmas!
    For me nothing could beat out the Springbank 15 I was lucky enough to find.
    Deanston 18 was a close second.

    • @Scotch4Dummies
      @Scotch4Dummies  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Snagged a few of those 15s on auction this year! Good stuff.

  • @88johnbarnes
    @88johnbarnes 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Great video guys! Would love to try all of them drams. My whisky of the year has to be Ledaig 18. A beautiful whisky. All the best from me in the UK 🇬🇧. Merry Christmas 🎅

  • @SuperDutchjohn
    @SuperDutchjohn 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Deanston have great whiskies, Compass Box CAN be great, Inchmurrin screwed me once with an 18 years old, NEVER Inchmurrin again (although I have fantastic Loch Lomonds and am a lover of Glen Scotia, which is owned by Loch Lomond), and when it comes to Laphroaig I prefer to stick to the 10 years old which has a way better price/quality! By the way, I think the prices of Scotch whisky in the USA is lots of times ridiculous, I give you an example, I have a few Springbanks of 12 and 13 years of age in my collection that I bought just a few years ago for around 60 euro's, they are still for sale in the USA for around.............1500 dollars, think about THAT!! Thumbs up from The Netherlands!

    @hanqb10 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Great variety of picks! Enjoyed watching you guys throughout the year - best of luck for 2024!
    My personal fav bottles for the year were a couple cask strength Ardnamurchans…good cask influence, great distillate, and good bang for the buck.

    • @Scotch4Dummies
      @Scotch4Dummies  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      They're making good stuff for sure!

  • @foad527

    The Glenlivet 21, Glendronach 12 and Johnnie Walker Gold

  • @WheelHouse1of1
    @WheelHouse1of1 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Tamdhu Cigar Malt batch 3 was my whisky of the year.

  • @pizzawarlord9232
    @pizzawarlord9232 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Solid bottles all.
    The Inchmurrin is 80 by me and I really enjoy Madeira cask.
    My Whisky of the year was Octomore 13.1.

  • @FerNightwalker
    @FerNightwalker 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    excellent video and great selection, luckily I was able to try some expressions from all those producers. I was surprised by Shawn's choice, I still have a unopened bottle of the Inchmurrin the one that triggered my interest in Madeira finishes, of which I am a big fan today.
    Merry Christmas to all and Cheers!🥃🎉🎄

    *brings out a Laphroig 25
    loved mortlach 12 and bladnochs I had
    Speyburn 15, or even the nonage statement one for youthful intensity

    DAMN!! A Laphroaig 25 for 299 - you have been a good boy this year....

  • @viktorbryce951
    @viktorbryce951 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    For me top pick this year was the 2023 Roseisle Special Release from Diageo. Lagavulin with no age statement from that same Special Release was really good as well for being finished in Tequila Cask. Ardbeg Amorphic was alright, just didn't have that drastic change I was looking for. Now the Anthology was another matter that delivered. So those 3 were top picks for me unless you included Octomore 14.3 which just hit struck all the right chords in me. Of course there is Ardbeg 25 I managed to grab earlier this year. Just waiting for a special time to open it. Really hope it delivers

  • @kbarnes0
    @kbarnes0 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Wow Laphroaig 25, so jelly Mark! My everyday drinker is Monkey Shoulder.

    • @Scotch4Dummies
      @Scotch4Dummies  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Nothing wrong with Monkey Shoulder! Only reason I got that Laphroaig was because Costco had it knocked out down to $299!

  • @rogerlin8145
    @rogerlin8145 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Great review👍👍👍. I m not a big fan of Deanston. Tried 12 yrs 18 yrs virgin oak, it has a new oak taste that I hate so much. Mine favorite year has to be bihiki harmony light and complex 👍
