00:00 INTRO
01:52 ABERLOUR A’BUNADH
04:17 GLENFARCLAS 105
06:19 GLENDRONACH CS
07:46 KAVALAN SOLIST
09:55 AMRUT SHERRY SINGLE CASK
#MaltAcrivist... you pleasantly surprise me every time with your awesome videos and the selection of exquisite single malts. I have the Aberlour A’bunadh...had it only a couple of weeks ago... will definitely try to get hold of the others. Cheers
Thank you Sanjeev. If you can't find some of them you know where to look ;-)
Delectable list! Haven't had the good fortune to try all of these just yet, been hoping to chance upon an older A'Bunadh or 105 to begin with. Haven't gotten to regular CS indulgence, but the GlenDronach 12, Bunnahabhain 12 and Tamdhu 12 are wonderful drams for me.
Hoping for an Islay aged in Sherry list from you soon! That's one heck of a delicious combo!
Weel, you know where to find them....
awesome channel!!! hope it keeps on growing, it definitely deserves more subs. Cheers!!
I hope so too! Thank you for the encouragement!
A very well rounded list with two international distilleries. Kavalan seems to be the stand out there. Within the last year or two, Glenallachie became hugely popular. And Kilkerran too with some of their offerings. Excellent work, MA.
Yes, I agree! Glenallachie has been doing some great work. Kilkerran also had a wonderful sherry bomb at cask strength last year.
Glenfarclas and Amrut are on my list for sure. Thanks for this. Instead of picking up random bottles I am now focusing on certain ones. Keeps me from just going in to the stores and spending my money mindlessly lol 🤦🏻♂️. Cheers 🥃
Yes, thank you. My point exactly.
A mouth watering list and have not been able taste the Glenfarclas and Glendronach. Have loved the Aberlour. Your content needs some more followers. You really research well and test and try before bringing out the video, keep doing the good work. Cheers
Much appreciated! Both the Glenfarclas and Glendronach are a must if you haven't tried them yet. Thank you for the kind words. Do share the video with your whisky loving friends.
@@MaltActivist sure have been and will keep on doing it.
What a superb selection.
Thank you Cliff!!
I'm saving up for my first bottle of A'Bunadh. And, drawing down on others in the collection to make room in the cabinet. I enjoyed my bottle of Aberlour 12. I have a Glenfarclas 12 on hand. It's okay. My current Glendronach is their Port Wood. It's okay. Cavalan is not available here. One offering of Amrut is. My nomination is Auchentoshan Three Wood, which is bourbon aged and finished in Oloroso and then PX casks, and one of my current favorites. I also like the Glenmorangie Lasanta, as well as their port finished Quinta Ruban. Of course, the flavor profile I really sought was a modestly peated sherried whisky. The Benromach 15 is the big winner! My current top choice.
Have I told you lately that I love you? Actually, I think I have....great picks, had my mouth watering. Cheers.
You're the best! And I love you too Al
Nice List, I agree with most of them, will have to try the Amrut. I would add The Macallan Classic cut if you can find one at retail, The Tamdhu CS, The Edradour, and the Glenallachie 10CS.
Good call!
That back drop is heaven
No it's not. It's just a bunch of whisky bottles.
The A'Bunadh and Glenfarclas 105 are 2 of my favourite 100% Sherried malts...however, the Glen Garioch 15yr Sherry Cask Matured (100% Orolosso at 53.7%) is my absolute favourite.
Then I must find it and try it ! Thanks for the tip
The Solist you showed was casked on the 10/07/2006 (based on the cask no.) You can tell its overall age by looking at the bottle date etched into the bottle and getting the diffference
Awesome. Let me check that out!
Thanks for the video. It's all subjective to personal taste, but IMHO (and like the highlander), there can be only one, which is glendronach. I love the 18 & 21, (it used to be the 15 revival pre 2015 as well), even though I aint happy how much they have put the prices up. I have tried literrally 100's of malts over the years, and havent found a sherry bomb match out there that gives me the slightly sweeter 'christmas cake' experience & nose i like, although i havent had the CS or kavalan yet - did i say it's all about personal preference lol. GL
You're right Bob. It's all about personal experience.
Good choice my friend 👌
Thank you, my friend. Appreciate you stopping by!
Have you had the balvenie 15 single barrel sherry cask ? It’s quite good! Great list
Actually I have and it's quite lovely. Wasn't 100% sure how readily available it was of late.
The 15 seems to be a standard on my bar.
This are all grest whiskies. Another sherry bomb that i can recommand is the Glen Gatioch 15 in Cask Strength. Cheers Mate.
That's a great one to add to the list. Maybe I'll do another list.
I would like to take a 20 year old home 😂Looks like I am 1000. Congrats 🎉
yayyyy! You win free whisky for life!
Soloist sherry cask is pretty awesome,I only had a couple bottles of s09,quite impressive,but I heard the quality of Latest batches are random
I would have to agree with you. But still a mighty fine dram.
Sir how is Glendronach10 forgue
Good whisky!
Glengoyne?? 105 has a real punch. I prefer slightly smoother finish.
These are the ones I like!
damn... imma big big fan of Amrut...too bad its not available in Phils...
Amrut is amazing
No Tamdhu and No Edradour? It’s hard to find much better than them IMO especially something like Edradour 12 Single cask. If that bottle had the words Easter Elchies or Black Bow, it would be worth thousands. That’s how good than thing is.
Great drams those! Tamdhu 15 I've put in another list. Love Edradour too.
GD CS Batch 8 is actually 10 yo, it’s on tube
Damn! My mistake then. Thank you for pointing it out. Appreciate it.
You know I went and checked on the bottle and it's not there. I threw the tube out long time ago. Now I don't know what to believe.
I just checked tube again and it’s says:”This ten year old expression…..” You right, nothing on the bottle, don’t understand why they won’t say it
@@rostislavtraps7148 Let me ask the distillery. Hang on.
I believe the Glendronach Cask Strength Batch 8 is a 10 year old.
Yes, you're right! That's a mistake on my part.
Actually I went and double checked. There's no age statement on the Batch 8
@@MaltActivist It was confirmed by Rachel Barrie here: th-cam.com/video/xXPiyJOPzP8/w-d-xo.html. Also behind the tube it was written “This ten year old expression…”
@@jwei4827 You're. However, it does not say so on the bottle. Just the tube. Strange isn't it?
@@MaltActivist Yeah, a 10 years old cask strength with this price, I don’t see why they don’t emphasise it more. Might be due to consistency of the cask strength series bottles?
