- This one is an unintentional comparison in lav audio vs. a Rode shotgun mic, a big whinge about ABV and chill-filtering and almost missing out on a wee drip of precious 25yo liquid.
Again, I'm not getting through the whisky as quickly as usual due to less visitor traffic/sharing opportunities during lockdown. Still, the number of high scorers here suggests I'm drinking well despite it.
As usual here's the link to the spreadsheet with all the Recycled Scores to date: docs.google.co...
It includes links to "jump" straight to the point in the video where that whisky is covered.

I don't really understand why I enjoy these videos of you standing by your bins so much.
Don't over think it. Just come back again next time!
Some broadcasts trigger an instant smile from the first sounds of the intro…recycled reviews & the American broadcast of the Masters golf tournament are two of them. With the birds chirping & sun shining, this video has now combined both. 😂 Cheers Roy! 🥃😄
Thank you Jay - hope you're still doing well my friend!
You're spot on, Jay. I couldn't agree more.
@@JimmyLeg hahaha likewise! 😄
I’m loving the more vicious and brutally honest Aqvavitae. More of this please.
I have grown teeth? If I'm honest there's nothing in this review I wouldn't drink, but when something can be better with little effort... Cheers Fox!
Absolutely loved the ending of this recycle review. Surly there was nothing left in the Glengoyne 25 bottle.
The ending was too funny. Mid--night marauder strikes again, checking the bottles for the last drop. ;-)
When I was editing - I realised my grave error! Thank you Tom - for everything!
@@Aqvavitae I’ve been known to wander round checking recycling bins like this
I'm really glad you added that clip on the end, when you put the bottle of Glengoyne 25 in the bin I was like "noooo, you've missed a bit".
Hehe! Yes, thanks for staying to the end!
That "I love whisky" in the end. Such innocence and honesty. Cheers!
“I love whisky”. Favourite quote of 2021. Cheers brother. Took me three sittings to get to the end here with the distractions. Great content. 🙏🏻
Thanks for the tenacity to get through it Rob - I know how it is! Hope you caught me saving the wee drops of GG25 post-credit. Speak soon my friend!
Roy your back!!!! You’ve been missed!!!! Hope you had a great summer break….
I had a great break and thank you for the kind words Geoff!
Lucky to have tried the majority of these whiskies including the Glengoyne 25 year old. A few have been dram swaps, a few have been sipped in the Whisky clubs I'm in. Wonderful community. All the best chap👍
Grateful you're a part of it Paul!
It is hard to describe my excitement when I saw there was a new Recycled Review! Fantastic as always.
Thanks Mike - I need to work a little faster! Cheers buddy...
Thank you Roy. Recycled Reviews have always been my favorite. Of course it takes a while to fill the basket with empties.
Thanks for the patience and enjoying and commenting when it does finally drop!
Like being reunited with an old friend - long live the recycled review.
never thought I could learn more about whisky next to a recycling bin than in some posh oak room. thank you for sharing!
Hey - enjoy the whisky anywhere it's offered but - don't knock the posh oak rooms if you're ever invited! ;p
Mr Aqvavitae,,a pleasure to see this one you star,hope you have had a fantastic break,,well done to shayla for taking good care of the community,look forward to thursday,,cheers.
Thanks for the kind words Peter - she did us all proud!
Wonderful stuff and well met good friend. Hope you and yours had a wonderful break. Cheers to you and your liverand see you soon!
Thanks Bill, summer was pretty good to us, thanks for the kind words Bill!
Great video, enjoyed with a dram of Old Weller 12, good aged bourbon 😉 loved the end, classic Scotland securitycamara footage 🤣
@@B__Mer planting seeds...!
Bin rakers!
“Purr like a whisky-filled kitten”! Lol. Welcome back Roy!
Meow!
As autumn approaches, my whisky season opens, and Roy is back!
Yes!
I'm still squeezing the last drops out of summer though DB! But looking forward to whisky season
@@Aqvavitae a little Indian summer will be a very welcome delay.
O’ my goodness, I was screaming at you from Minnesota that you missed the last drop of Glengoyne 25. “Saved by the edit,” ha ha.
Hehe! I heard you Anders! Glad you stayed around for the edit!
The original and always the best! Roy, I really can't say it enough. I love every minute of these videos. Production, visuals, and of course your insights. My take away usually connects to available and price so while I loved all your thoughts, I really appreciated that Glen Scotia Double Cask, Glengoyne 10, Arran 10 are all good and affordable. I have not grabbed the 15, but is is twice the price so not right now. Loved the cut-away. Humanizing and fun. Sad about GlenDronach. Really, a crying moment for us enthusiasts. All that said, the Glengoyne 25 sounded amazing. Maybe when I win the lottery! Cheers my friend.
Thanks so much Jonathan, great to read such positive and appreciative words, I hope you happen across the 15 at a reasonable price soon, it's a good 'un. Glendronach? There are others such as Arran 18, the new release form Brackla and the Glenturret 12, none are cheap, but not so far away from what we were happy to pay for natural GD15 Revival. Cheers Jonathan!
Wonderful work as always. I love Deanston whiskys and I have fallen in love with the new Arran releases. The 10 year and the Quarter Cask are wonderful. The presentation of the Quarter Cask, at 56.2 % ABV, is something to behold. I have backup bottles of both Deanston and Arran whiskys.
Not sure how I missed this on my notifications, but well worth waiting for, even with the extra month. I have recommended this to some friends who are getting into whisky, having a comparison between different whiskies is especially useful for them to get an idea if they will like a potential purchase.
The wait was worth it. Love these Roy @aqvavitae, regardless of how long in-between! Sláinte 🥃
Thakns Gav, I'll try to be quicker with #14!
Awesome recycled review, Roy. I was over the moon when I saw the notification on my phone. And because of the frequency of your apologies, even though there's no need in your case, we will proudly adopt you as an honourary Canadian 🇨🇦. Cheers Roy 🥃
Aye, I've been told I apologise too much, so sorry for that! Cheers Mark!
Only recently discovered your channel and have binge watched all of these reviews over the last few days. Gutted when I realised just now this is the most recent one. Excellent content, very much looking forward to the next one!
You're looking great, Roy! So glad to have you back.
Why thank you - please stop by again soon!
Been FAR too long since we had one of these. And, I was previously a huge promoter of Glendronach, but at this point, I just won't buy that any longer. Definitely a huge shame.
It has been too long Steve, so long I forgot how to use the sound recorder. Wasn't too bad in the end - cheers buddy!
@@Aqvavitae The audio was fine with the camera mic, so not a big deal, really.
Haha so happy about the Glengoyne 25 'revist'. I was disturbed.
I knew it would trouble many! Cheers Deepa & Phil!
By the way, I notice there was a drop left in the Arran 10. Maybe it is too late for you now, Roy.
@@martywong822 haha
Great to see the recycled videos making a welcome comeback, Roy. Very interesting batch here, and with almost all of your comments and impressions I can see common ground. On one score, however, I'll differ. Here in Germany the Knockando 21 is bottled at 43% (not 40%) and can be picked up for around €65, which is still a bargain basement price for any malt of that age. I'm on my second bottle of it at the moment. It's not that it goes quickly, because it doesn't, it's just that it offers even reasonable competition to a superb daily dram such as Benromach 10 at 43%, which is saying something, despite the massive difference in age. If you look long enough - and let it breathe long enough, there is a modicum of complexity there. Nothing like a Glengoyne 21, I'm not referring to that, but a complexity all the same. I had to get over my own chauvinism to admit it, but I like this for what it offers at this price. I just can't think of another 21-year-old whisky which is such a bargain (even the Glenfarclas 21yo has increased significantly in price over the last three years). So, I wouldn' just buy the Knockando for a newbie, I'd give it to someone who's already tried a number of Scottish whiskies and who may have hitherto avoided this one due to its conspicuously low price. You could do a helluva lot worse! Cheers.
All fair points Russel, and I may have been a little harsho on a mature whisky for such an accessible price - but if it was a wee bit higher in ABV, natural colour and no oils stripped - would you pay another €20? I know I would. Still, you make valid points that I hope are woven into the purchase process for the community. Cheers Russel.
Great Stuff Roy, Love the reviews and the V-pubs. From an old Edinburgh boy watching from Sydney
Thank Andy - I hope your winter has been kind and your drams warming!
So happy to see this pop up in my notifications! Great video as always. Hope to see #14 soon!
I have a handful of bottles here, but I gotta work a little to create some more. I'll do my best... ;)
Needed a wee break from the world of whisky but when I saw this pop up on my TH-cam recommended vids- had to like and (unfortunately for you Roy) comment. I think I speak for the vast majority- WE WANT MORE RECYCLED REVIEW Roy you rascal;) Cracking job, great content, keep them coming 👍 Sláinte 🍻
What a treat! It was worth waiting for this and it is completely understandable that it has been a while given the isolation. These reviews are so full of good information and punctuated with your warmth and wit. Your passion as an enthusiast is energizing. I appreciate the fact that you spanned entry level to special occasion drams. Watching this reminds me how much you have guided my whisky journey. Thank you, Roy!
Thanks Bud - we're guiding each other these days, many of the examples here are discovered due to my membership of this amazing community. thanks for being part of it!
We here in America are working through a labor shortage. Long long hours. To stressed to "appreciate" my good bottles. This was so refreshing to watch! I share many of your opinions and scores.
Sorry to hear you're stretched Joshua, I hope things ease up for you soon, and that the whisky tastes all the sweeter for it when it does!
Sublime as always, Roy! Shame to hear about the Glendronach revival, hadn't found a reasonably priced bottle of it before the change. Also, don't ever feel the need to apologize for taking your time one these. A healthy relationship with whisky is always appreciated and should be celebrated. Cheers to good health.
Thanks Dakota, and appreciate the patience and positive sentiment - here's to good health right enough!
Glendronach is dead to me, after the stunt they've pulled, appreciate the brutal honesty. Another great vid - cheers, Roy!
I think all but the infatuated need to be pragmatic and just move their wallets on. There's always something else, cheers buddy.
@@Aqvavitae agreed, funnily enough I was just about to buy another bottle to restock when the news broke about their labelling shenanigans… not looked back since and I shan’t be buying another to replace the one that was finished.
Cheers Roy, really enjoyed the last VPub!
Saw Clynelish 14 on the shelf tonight. Don’t like the unneeded added color, but will try it based your review. Eagle Rare 10 is our house bourbon. We keep 4-6 bottles on the shelf. For the price, I don’t think you can beat it.
This type of review is something that's missing on the Internet for so many products: long term retrospectives. The fact that you've experienced every bottle from neck pour down to the fumes and had the opportunity to contrast them with whatever else you've been sipping makes it so much more likely that you're able to tell us about it from all angles. I think that allows you to really give it a fair relative valuation instead of getting stuck in one line of thinking and viewing a particular bottle too narrowly compared to what else we could be spending our money on.
Roy, always enjoy watching your "Recycled Review" videos. It's been a while since the last. Thank you for posting. Cheers.
Thanks for patiently waiting Greg!
Brilliant selection buddy, with some solid drams. You know how I feel about that magical Cotswolds, top slap of a dram 👏👍
And still a great price. Cheers Jeff!
The Fall is nearing and I am watching whiskey videos again. Your "recycled reviews" are outstanding very concise commentary.
Greetings from Brazil! You, along some whiskytubers, are responsible for me beginning my whisky journey about 18 months ago. I love the recycled reviews..such a wonderful way to talk about specific whiskies. This was fantastic and long overdue. Keep up the great work! Cheers!
Thanks for the patience and for leaving some nice words - glad to be of help and hope the ongoing journey stays exciting!
Welcome back Roy! A nice surprise finding your latest Recycled Review it’s been a while. Looking forward to the first V pub after your holiday,catch you there!
Thanks Mike!
I think the conciseness of each micro-review makes us hang onto every word like the last few drips from a Glengoyne 25. Thank you for making my day with this one 😊
"I love whisky!" 😂Such infectious enthusiasm, another great recycled review, hope you had a great holiday 🥃🥃and loved the little Easter egg at the end, Marvel style 👌🏻
thanks Mark, I like to leave wee insights post-credit. Holiday was perfect!
These videos are great for figuring out what should be next on the shopping list. Cheers Roy!
You mean the shopping list that only gets longer(!) Cheers Phil - good to have you watching!
Lovely collection. Many of which I’ve tried and I few I’d love to! Thanks, Roy.
I hope you catch 'em all soon Mike. Thank you
Even with less whisky than usual it looks like summer have done you good :-)
Happy to see you safe, sound and back with a recycle!
Happy to be here Jens - especially with good pals around like you!
Dude standing in front of trash cans and talking about Whisky... and damn, this was vastly entertaining. Thanks for this man!
I missed these videos Roy. Great content. Cheers.
I know Bruno - thanks for catching it!
Thank you Roy, nice surprise, like a late birthday present :-)
Many happy returns! ;p
Just seeing you back doing these reviews, hearing the tune in the back and that familiar clang of the bottles... You have no idea how much of a happiness rush I had. Made my day, for sure.
I won't really buy whiskey right now, my cabinet is still plenty stocked with good stuff, but I've got Deanston 18, Eagle Rare 10 and Arran 10 on my list.
Very cool comment, thanks so much. Grateful that folks are willing to indulge the long incubation for each new episode. Hope you snag the wish-listers - all worthy!
Been looking forward to this, Roy! As always, I appreciate your viewpoints and recommendations. Thank you! Slainte! A++
And I appreciate the feedback Matthew - thank you!
Love the RR, Roy! Thanks for the dedication, looking forward to tonight's vPub!
Thank you for all your great support over the years my friend!
Good to have you back Roy ..The Best 👍
Thanks Allan!
Roy excellent run down missed these videos. That ending made me feel better as I felt there was still a small drop in that bottle. Enough to warm the tip of your tongue lol cheers 🥃👏
I got it my friend - not a drop wasted. Thanks for watching!
Roy, it's great to see you in action again. Some great bottles there indeed. Shayla has done a great job whilst you've been away and you chose well for a temporary replacement. Looking forward to more content in the near future. Enjoy the sun ... it's a rarity in your part of the world! :)
It is indeed a rarity Richard and thnak you for the kind words - a small correction though - Shayla chose me! she did a great job!
So glad to see you Roy! Your spreadsheet is such a treat to have: I keep it close to hand. Cheers until the VPub tomorrow!
Glad you find it useful George - thanks for the kind words!
It's gratifying to see you confirm my own view on bourbon abv. Tells me I'm not imagining it. 45% should absolutely be the minimum, bare minimum, I would even say 50%. I recall your disappointment with the euro-version of Buffalo Trace at 40%, what a shame! Ideally bourbon should be barrel strength, it needs it more than malt. Yes, there are exceptions, but they succeed despite the lower abv, not because of it.
I don't want to knock an entire category that I'm very much enjoying, but it's true for me. Barrel strength bourbon is something to enjoy understand while you still breathe.
I solved the Campbeltown problem a couple of weeks ago by jumping on the ferry at Ardrossan and driving back home with armfuls of Campbeltown whisky. Not long earlier the bloke in a whisky shop in Edinburgh told me that even the Springbank 10yo, when they have some to sell, are one per customer
I think you're strategy of making the most of location is a good one. enjoy it and savour the privilege. I hope some more makes it out for the rest of us soon! (Not holding my breath!)
In Canada, we get the Glengoyne 10 year old at 43% and unchill filtered (or at least it used to be before the rebranding). Considering that I can get it at the same price as Glenfiddich 12, Glenlivet 12 or Aberlour 12, it's a no brainer.
I'd agree, a lovely and clean take on sherry-maturation. although a slip of the tongue here I said ex-European oak, actually it's American too.
I love these recycled reviews Roy. The Clynelish 14 is fantastic, Arran and Deanston are doing great things and I have a bottle of Glen Scotia 15 winking at me as we speak. I also think the Cotswolds whisky for £30 on offer is a no brainer, lots of fruit and it drinks a lot older than four. Knob Creek Small Batch has the 9 year old age statement back and I loved it, 50% ABV for £35 and I would recommend it if you can get it as an every day bourbon. Cheers Roy!
Thanks fella good to have you enjoying and agreeing on the good stuff, I'm almost out of my current KC small batch so good call.
Fantastic Roy! These are worth the wait and always a nice surprise when they appear. Great ending :p
Slainte!
Thanks for waiting until the end my friend, glad you enjoyed!
Amazing video as usual Roy. I love that you called out Glendronach!! I love that distillery, but I doubt I will buy any of it if they continue down their current trajectory.
Oh the heartbreak of an audio failure. I felt your pain, Roy! Still an excellent RR as always. Cheers!
Hi Roy! Great review with very good choices from very reasonable to quite demanding pricing. Excited to try a few of them. Rgds from Germany. Ingo
Thank you Roy! This is one of my favorite whiskey series on TH-cam! Really been looking forward to the next Recycled Reviews!
Thanks so much for the kind words and for patiently waiting! I'll try to do better - my liver is lazy!
Another great recycled review. I particularly enjoyed the criticism being taken up a notch too.
I invented a new drinking game. I had a drink every time you said “enthusiast”! 🤣🤣
Keep up the great work 👍🏻
Thanks Pete - yeah I gotta up the vocabulary. I noticed during editing (editing yourself is not to be recommended!) how many times I repeated it. "Ach. Only Pete Welsh will notice" I said. ;p Thanks for tuning in Pete.
@@Aqvavitae 🤣😂👍🏻
A very welcome and timely #13 ... Bravo Roy 👏👏👏
Thanks - great to have you stopping by and watching!
I’m traveling tomorrow, this will have to wait for the layover. So glad to have a new Recycled Review!
Hope the trip was a good one Michael! Cheers.
Great to have these reviews back Roy and for once I was acquainted with quite a few of the more affordable whiskies. Looking forward to Ralfy joining you tmrw evening 🥃
Hope it was the good stuff you've found! cheers Stuart!
I bought the Deanston 12 based on your recommendation, and I really really love it, it's brilliant.
So thanks a million.
BR from Denmark
100% agree on Glendronach! They don't exist to me anymore. No need to buy out the previous stock, unless discounted. It's not that it isn't a great malt, it's just that there ARE plenty of fish in the sea. Thank you for being brutally honest, Roy.
agree
100% agreed.
sure, thats why we moved to the glenallachie shores, try recent batch 5 10yo cs glenallachie..and do forgot about glendronach
glendronach put the infomation on the box not the bottle now...
@@McGururu it was nice knowing them :) I guess they picked a side, along with Macallan, Bowmore, Dalmore, et al.
These recycled reviews are so appreciated and anticipated, even if you post the next one next week, if will still be a long wait 😁 But please, enjoy at your own pace, your liver will appreciate that 😉
Your patience and pragmatism is most appreciated Patrick! Thank you!
Hello stranger lol! Great to see another Recycled Review airing. Some great drams there too ... Glenturret 12yo a particular favourite in these here parts. So ... truthfully how many times did you have to kick the ball before you scored 🤣
Once. So chuffed was I - I thought - that's going in!
Some bottles there I've added to my wishlist based on your glowing comments, such as the Glenturret and Deanston 18 (love the 12 already). Just about to try the Glenmorangie Barrel Select 13YO Cognac Finish which arrived today, and watch a few more of your videos after only finding the channel recently. Keep up the fantastic work.
I'm very grateful to have you watching and enjoying... hope the Deanston and GT meet with your expectations and be sure to let us know!
Has been a while, but always worth waiting for!!!
Thanks Vic, it's nice to have the understanding why they take so long in between!
And that back yard football pitch ain't too bad either
Cameras can deceive, downslopes and ankle-threatening holes everywhere! Great fun though!
Roy thanks so much for the spreadsheet… I took the liberty to adjust it for my usage 👍🏽🥃 and thanks a for another Recycled Review 👍🏽🥃👊🏽
That's what it's there for! Cheers Prophessor!
This made my day, love the recycled reviews!
Ahh John - always nice to see you dropping by... hope you enjoyed!
Hi Roy,
I’m looking for inspiration, I have a fetish for collecting all my bottles corks but looking for something interesting to do with them! Any ideas?
Having trouble accessing the google sheet, its my go to guide and now it seems to not want to work on my phone! Help!
*Sigh* Finally another recycled review! Thanks Roy! Great as always.
I'll try to put the hurries on the next one Chris - no promises though!
@@Aqvavitae Thanks Roy. I don't want to put pressure on you.
As always, amazing stuff Roy! Might just have to buy a bottle of that Glenturret and try to see over the age statement. On of my all time fav whiskies is a 7 year old Port Charlotte MRC:01 that sold for £90...
It's not going to be around for long. It's a good un.
😍 just love this format. Pls keep new episodes coming, Roy. 🤩
Thanks Chris - on it!
Loved the end and all the channel content,i'm trying to be the whisky enthusiast POV in spanish lenguage,thanks for the inspiration aquavitae,cheers!
Absolutely great missed these so much, keep it up Roy ( excuse the innuendo).
I'll pick up the pace a wee bit roger!
That post credit scene! 🤣🤣🤣 Love it!
Can't let it go to waste!
Was the glengoyne 25 a 10/10 you failed to say in the video?
9.5. But get me at the right moment, and yes, difficult to fault.
Great to see you back Roy. 9 out of 10 (again 😉).
PS: Springbank's also very difficult to get over here in the Netherlands at the moment. Always good to have a staple bottle of the 10yo 😁.
Thanks William - the 10 isn't always guaranteed here either! Good to have you watching!
Hi Roy, great video as always, I've completely missed the Glendronach changes, I still have 2 bottles of the 18yr and 1 21yr left and was looking to pick up another 15yr. However after your video will possibly change tack. Do you know if the change is for the full range including the 12yr or just the 15yr? Missed the new Vpub, going to watch it on catch-up, keep up the good work, cheers Kev
Because of fairly opaque communications from BF and the slow rate of things panning out, we don't fully know. We are currently assuming monstly the 12yo and 15yo Revival, but their direction policy makes me switch attention anyway. Their current path is a clear statement to me that I am not their target audience. C'est la vie. Thanks Kevin!
Great Stuff Roy, do we have to wait until 2022 to get the next one?
I'll give 2021 a go... let's see...
And so my wish list grows! Welcome back Roy, another cracking recycled review. Looking forward to tomorrow! I wonder if the Yoda has warmed to the word "evangelism" since he last appeared on the vPub 😉
Thanks Yash - remember - there's always good whisky!
Brilliant reviews as always Roy. Thank you for these. By the way, not bad football skills there ;)
The most intentionally misleading thing I've ever done on TH-cam is create the impression I have football skills!
Late to the game on this video, but curious: If you could have the Tamdhu 15 or the Cotswolds Odyssey (both available to me in Perth, Aust), which one would you go for? Would you go for age (15 years) over youth (5 years); or would you take a flyer on the young buck and come back to Tamdhu another day? (I only have the budget for one and the prices are similar).
I always look forward to these revews. Current Glendronachs just aren't the same anymore. You are right, it's time for alternatives. Edradour seems to be a perfect choice but I definitely need to try some Glenturret. I noticed you didn't have any IBs in this bunch. Cheers Roy!
I know, but - a little like some of the Edradour releases - the IBs can't really be bought everywhere. Unless there's a point or a nice share to make, I try to keep the RR to available bottles (more or less. Thanks Travis - great to have you watching!
Enjoyable and honest as usual.
Thanks for nr13...
Slàinte mhath
Thanks Frank!
Agree 100% on the Springbank CS, so full of flavour, rich and powerful yet soft, wonderfully stuff. Sadly very hard to find these days without paying silly money, along with the entire range. In Germany at least.
No different than anywhere else. Frustratingly hard to find. Cheers Mainz Man!
As always great reviews Roy! On my way to pick up the Arron 21, couldn't find the Glenturret 12.
The Glenturret 12 is a little harder to find, they've also just released their 2021 version in the UK.
