Great episode. The Bladnoch looks really interesting and not something I’ve tried before. Looking forward to giving it a go. The Bushmills 10 is a lovely easy drinking dram but some of those older expressions look super tasty. Great works guys
thanks for tuning in and glad to hear we've got your taste buds tantalised! definitely worth picking up some of those older Bushmills and I'm in a similar position to you with needing to explore Bladnoch more. let us know how you get on!
that's such a great tasting note Dan and definitely making me want to get involved more with Bladnoch. it hasn't been my favourite of liquids but in truth I haven't done a deep dive so I'll reserve my opinion until I get properly involved
That Caol Ila PC sounds terrific, I have the Cadenhead 11 yo & love it, but it is a 46 % abv & one year only in PC, so intrigued by your cask, and also by the other one...Hope they'll be distributed here some day....or anything from you...Cheers, Jake ! 🥃
it's pretty special and one I'm very proud of. we're working on our international distribution Greg so stay tuned - I'll get it sorted for you ASAP! sláinte my friend
thanks for the support Jimmy and I'm glad you enjoyed it! lots of great stuff coming from us later this year; the Caol Ila is just the tip of the iceberg. stay tuned my friend!
glad you enjoyed it Erwin; have you been to Whisky Live before? that's definitely an option but I think we may leave one of them resting a little longer
@@TheWhiskyBaron No i have not been there. i'm from the netherlands. A few weeks ago i went to my first festival (whisky festival noord nederland) and had a great ben nevis 1996 at milroy's stand
@@erwinweening709 I know exactly the BN you're speaking of. very good, although I'd argue that ours is better (and I've had people from Milroy's agree, so I'm not just being bias!)
I like the way you show us these kind of festivals/events and talk to people in the industry! I definitely need to try Bladnoch as well I feel like they fly a bit low on people's radar. I am buying one of those bottles for sure hopefully later on this year! I am an oloroso fan but I never had PC so we will see
I'm glad you enjoy these videos Bence - we love whisky festivals and it's arguably the best way to get involved with brands you can't always find on the shelves or with expressions that may be out of your price range. Have you been to Whisky Live before?
@@colinmcquade29 amazing stuff - you'll have a great time no doubt. which day are you going? Whisky Live is well worth a look in for next year. also The Whisky Event in June should be mega
@@TheWhiskyBaron we’re there the Friday night and Saturday , I was desperate to go to the whisky event , your video from last years was brilliant. Campbeltown festival is the week before and my pal couldn’t make both so decided Campbeltown .
@@TheWhiskyBaron sadly not mate. On the list though. Whisky events are something I haven’t ever participated in. Being based down in the South West not much going on down here, although should get myself up to the Bristol whisky show. Good to live vicariously through your Channel and I find the interviews you do really interesting. Keep up the good work boys. Cheers.
@@timpowles7514 definitely worth the trip! glad you're finding value in the channel in the meantime though my friend - hope to see you at a festival soon! sláinte
Thank you for your work, love it! Just finished your Campbeltown video, for 4th time, as preparing myself for 2024 festival. Very much appreciating your work, hope seeing your bottling in Switzerland as I will definitely take few! Cheers!
wow, now that's dedication! thank you so much for the support, it means a lot and I'm glad to hear you'll be making the trip to Campbeltown - no doubt you'll have an incredible time. have you been to any whisky shows yourself? we're working on our export market at present so stay tuned and hopefully we'll have some stock somewhere near you soon! sláinte
@@TheWhiskyBaron Thanks! Very much looking forward visiting Campbeltown, so far just few local ones (Switzerland). For first time in Scotland it had to be Campbeltown , doing pilgrimage :)
@@IRamOne_w you've picked a great place to start and I have no doubt that you'll be making your pilgrimage more regularly after you've experienced Campbeltown. be sure to say hi to all the distillery workers from us and let us know how you get along! sláinte
Top notch video thanks a lot guys, again thanks a lot for sharing the SB you brought when you did the Eat, Sleep Dream Repeat,that Caol Ila Palo Cortado looks great, in order to continue my whisky journey I would like to get one of those bottles,we have in Cadenheads a Caol Ila Palo Cortado 11 yo 51.4 abv, If you are interested in interchange bottles, just let me know, saludos musicales. The Peruvian from SB,🤘🤘🤘
wow, now that's an offer! thank you, that's very generous. and funnily enough we're currently speaking with Janice and her team about doing a whole range of content with Bushmills so hopefully this is something that we can book in soon! when did you visit the distillery? and what distillery exclusives do you have?!
lots of yummy drams to be enjoyed but I may be slightly bias towards that one JJ! keep your eyes open my friend, lots of exciting stuff coming later this year
@@jimmyjazz4605 trust me, we're working on it! I'm actually following up with a contact on your side of the pond today so keep your fingers crossed we can work something out!
Sherry and Cao Ila go hand in hand, sweet & peat is the way. Doubtful it’ll make it to Taiwan but I’ll cross my fingers nonetheless. I’ve tried a few Bladnoch’s, very unconvincing to me, and I think a bit over priced, especially when the age starts to climb. Bushmills are similarly guilty of extortion at the higher age statements. Does feel like some distillers are really trying to wring the consumer of much money as possible. Why pay 2 grand for a 30yr Bushmills when you can get a Glendronach Single Cask 30yr for like a third of the price? The math doesn’t sense to me.
we are looking at Taiwan quite seriously at the moment so stay tuned as you may well see us out there soon! I appreciate your point on pricing - bit of a tough pill to swallow sometimes. I suppose everyone has different budgets though so what seems like lunacy to us may make sense to someone else
Caol Ila and sherry....what's not to like. Mouth watering waiting to hear about these releases.
glad they're up your street! stay tuned Bob, we've got lots of other exciting things be released this year as well. sláinte

Bladnoch Liora absolute butter bomb such a great bottle of whisky great abv as well. Almost buttered popcorn in a bottle.

Oh man those Caol Ilas sound amazing. Very much on my wish list for later this year. Now I just need to get myself to a whisky festival…
The Whisky Event is coming up at the start of June and it's mega. over 100 distributors, a full on buffet. well worth it Dave and you'll see us there
@@TheWhiskyBaron Will have to check my diary (and my whisky fund...)!
@@DaveGraham see what you can do - tickets aren't cheap but they're definitely great value. hope to see you there!
Meant to ask as well where’s that shirt from Jake? It’s class, wouldn’t mind getting myself one eh
Unfortunately that is a one of one my friend - hand stitched and bespoke made special for me. I'm a lucky lad
@@TheWhiskyBaron ha good for you man, it looks the bollocks
@@hoodwiser7652 cheers bud! one of my favourites
Looking forward to your caol lla, hurry up
this made me laugh! sure you can't hurry a good whisky. stay tuned though as there's not long to wait now
Been looking to purchase a indie Caol lla, for a while. I might need to wait even longer now 😩
Cheers
not too long to wait for ours Chris! there are loads of great options out there though if you can't wait
@@TheWhiskyBaronto be honest I think it was Dan from summerton whisky club that sold it to me 🎉
@@Chris_Almond he knows his stuff!
If you ever do a Bushmills/Irish show. I’ve got 2 great distillery whiskey’s and a great story from visiting the distillery if your interested
wow, now that's an offer! thank you, that's very generous. and funnily enough we're currently speaking with Janice and her team about doing a whole range of content with Bushmills so hopefully this is something that we can book in soon! when did you visit the distillery? and what distillery exclusives do you have?!

@@TheWhiskyBaron Cool cool 👏🏻 However maybe some of your bottles being exported to Australia, maybe, maybe? 😁
@@jimmyjazz4605 trust me, we're working on it! I'm actually following up with a contact on your side of the pond today so keep your fingers crossed we can work something out!
@@TheWhiskyBaron Awesome! So keen! Maybe have a chat to The Whisky List. They're pretty down to Earth, and import other cool brands 😁
