    I just happened to buy Kilkerran 12 recently, I can see why it won. Every time I've had a dram, my only thought is 'wow that's lovely'. No constructive feedback, it just hits the mark.

    The Kilkerran 12 is great but it's twice the price of Graigellachie 13. I voted for Craig to win.

    Solid choices. Craiggelachie 13 would be among my top three for sure. The new fat bottle Kilkerran 12 I like. But I loved the previous thin bottle version because it was unique. The new one really is just another Springbank. Orchard House is still my favourite blend. In some ways it reminds me a bit of the old Kilkerran 12. There is just a hint of that grapefruit/smoke/fresh citrus/honey happines. But enough for me to like it very much. :)

    Excellent analysis of this category. I must admit to not having watched the OSWAs this year. My feeble excuse is that I was being shot at by a few hundred ballistic missiles from the Mad Mullers of Iran and was a bit busy.
    I cannot disagree with any of the selection. They are great value for money, but within their respective price range, which here in Israel is about NIS 200-300. (£40-£60).
    My biggest gripe with the OSWAs has been that, although they don't ignore budget Entry Level Blended Whisky or Malt Blends, they have so far turned their noses up at true budget single malts at between £100 to NIS 160. These are SIngle Malts that turn up at weddings, Bar Mitzvas etc and IMO, should not be ignored. I'd be interested in your opinion regarding the best Single Malts in this category. I have included the Deanston Virgin Oak in this list in previous years but at least in my country, it's just jumped up in price beyond the price range to be considered budget. The same goes with the Arran Bourbon Barrel.
    *My Top 10 short list would be:*
    Glen Scotia 10
    Speyburn Bradan Orach
    Loch Lomond Original
    Glenfiddich 12 American Oak
    Glenmorangie 12
    Auchentoshan American Oak
    Glen Moray 12
    Glen Moray Classic Peated / Glen Moray Classic
    Tomatin Legacy
    Glencadam American Oak Reserve
    *My winners would be:*
    No.1 Glen Scotia 10,
    No.2 Glen Moray Classic
    No.3 Glenfiddich American Oak
    Honourable mention to Speyburn Bradan Orach for excellent value for money.

    Absolutely agree. Craigallachie, whether it's in OB or Cadenheads IB its a whisky I always have on the shelf. Considering it's not peated, I definitely get a smoky element to it. It's a beautiful base spirit. Reading up, I tend to like wormtub whiskies better. It just works with alot of cask maturations/finishes well. I've just picked up a 16yr Cadenhead Sauternes cask and Cadenheads 13yr oloroso first fill and the colour is just stunning.

    Great looking room you have set up there. Whisky on shelves just gives a great ambience 👌.
    Need to get a full bottle of Craig 13 as I’ve only had it in a couple of flights. Same with Ardna AD I’ve been bypassing it for the cask strength.
    Kilkerran 12 a worthy winner. Was at the distillery earlier this year and amazing what they have been able to create there with so little capital investment compared with Diageo / Edrington etc.
    Totally fine with the inclusion of Garioch. I enjoyed my bottle a couple of years back and it’s definitely got character. Arran and Ledaig are also worthy inclusions and should be considered among the favourites for this category.
    My bugbear: I am a bit of a Bunnahabhain fanboy so it irked me to see the standard 12 on the outside looking in after all these years of “doing it right” while along comes Benromach with their half assed 10 which is a solid dram but to my mind doesn’t deserve its place among the others. 2nd place in the people’s choice shows it’s loved.
    Other notable exclusions: Glencadam 10, Deanston 12, Tobermory 12, Ardbeg 10, Classic Laddie, Glenallachie 12

    • @Gwhisky
      @Gwhisky  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Many of the ones you've mentioned have had nominations, or even wins, in the past. It's interesting to see the way opinion shifts and changes over the years. If brands like Bunna or Glencadam maintain their quality, I'm sure they'll make reappearances at some point. Cheers! 🥃

    Great Vid Geoff, but I need to say the spacing between bottles is a bit too sparse, needing a few more. ( perhaps deliberate ?? haha) Kilkerran is NOT VALUE in Australia as much as I enjoy it, I would not place it in this category. I have not had the Benromach 10, only the CS & it's a ripper, but will omit from my ranking..... Otherwise.... I'd have (1) Craigellachie, (2) Ledaig 10 , (3) Arran 10 , (4) Glen Garioch ; (5) Ardnamurchan AD ( i rate the CS much better)

    Interesting thoughts, your People's Choice was also the Craigellachie 13 or you went with something else there?

    3. Kilkerran 12 55€ (so no vote from me...but damn I love it...just had to be fair because of "value"...the other 2 are more than 20% less...that`s too much...)

    For me Glen Garrioch is a fine example of a standard Highland malt. Not a lot of complexity, no smoke, peat, sherry and other 'complications'. This is a whiskey for people that just enjoy a quality taste of barley sugars the bare essence of scotch.

    • @Gwhisky
      @Gwhisky  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I don't mind the Glen Garioch at all like that, I think it's middle of the pack of those. But does represent really good value. Although it's entirely understandable as a winner, but KK 12 is zero value here in the US at our prices. We have to pay well over double what the UK sees. I might like it but it's a completely different price level. Ardna is a big winner, so is the retired Arran 10. But Craig 13 is what I voted for. In the Viewers Choice, I voted for Glencadam 10. For me that is the biggest omission of all in the category. I also wanted to see Kilchoman Machir Bay as a choice.

    SO MANY of these bottles are neither inexpensive nor widely-available in NYC 🤬
    Craigellachie 13 is the ONLY bottle of that group I'd consider reasonably-available and well-priced for its quality, but it's not exactly cheap at $50+.
    My favorite high-value budget bottles are:
    1. Scarabus $35
    2. Loch Lomand 12 $35
    3. Glencadam 10 $40
    4. Benromach 10 $40
    5. Compass Box Orchard House $45

    Lismore is almost certainly Glenfarclas.

    Craigellachie 13 is the one I just can't figure out the hype over. I finally put the bottle away. Too much scotch, not enough time to waste trying to like this stuff.

    Hey Jeff, love your wallet whiskey don’t get a cat. I picked the Craig Alki 13 as well for best value but in honesty I like to kill Karen 12 more but it’s double the price just finished off a bottle actually luckily have three more put away. enjoyed the awards this year.

      I've read that first line several times now, and I've decided to listen to your suggestion and not get a cat. They shed too much, anyway. Solid advice, my friend. 😉🥃

    I don't know if I'm brocken or just have strange taste preference but have no idea why people are so crazy about campbelltown. I sampled Kilkerran 12, 16, 8, Glen Scotia 15, Springbank 10, 15, some Longrow expressions, and I enjoyed only Kilkerran 16. I am sorry😅 probably I am brocken

    I must be the only whisky fan who has no interest in groupthink awards whatsover.

    I’ll take Loch Lomond 12 over any of whiskys’ you’ve mentioned at this juncture of your video every day of the week and 3 times on Saturdays and Sundays. Arran 10 is way overrated as I’ve had the previous tall bottle and this current bottle. It’s way overpriced, same goes for Spring Bank 10, which is STUPIDLY WAY OVERPRICED!
