Amazing in only 2 years since this video came out the Buna 12 was $49.99 it is now as of 6-06-2024 $85.99 it's still a winner in my book, but it's hard to shell out for it.

Ok. I am giving Glen Garioch 17 Renaissance a hard look. Problem is almost no one has reviewed it. Have you had it? The other I’m looking at is the Glen scotia 18. Btw. I believe the days of $80 18 yr old scotch is over. We’re all feeling uncomfortable when opening the wallet for just about any bottle nowadays.

Ok first of all, thank you for this video. I searched extensively for a bottle of this today and found one. I’m blown away by it. I’m also a bit biased because I’m Portuguese lol. I’m a beginner in scotch and I loved almost everything about this one and it immediately became my new favorite. But then I quickly found out that it was a limited release. So I am happy that you compared the two and I know there is something else out there like it. Thank you again.

Actually, the correct pronunciation is, "edra-door"...with rolling the "r" at the end, Spanish style. Know, as was at the distillery in 2001, & the head distiller there, came to our table & we had a wee chat! Was a magical visit, will never forget...as well as still one of best Scotch's ever tasted! Try a wee dram, then you'll know. 😎

The Highland Park 18 is $139 in my area too and it' been sitting on the shelf for months getting dusty. For $139, I think I can find a better Scothch with a bit more ABV - at least 46%. Glen Scotia Victoriana for one.

Agreed .... It's pretty good stuff, but that price opens up a lot of other options. Cheers Mark!

Thanks for the review. I started drinking both Glenlivet 12 and Glenfiddich 12 more than 40 years ago when I attended a lot of parties and weddings. They're both mild and pleasant tasting bottles that I have no problem enjoying. The good news is that both are budget friendly compared to other competitors in the Scotch field where other brands are almost double the price.
@theheebs1008 ай бұрын
Ive been sipping the glenfiddich 12 lately. I pick up on sherry a lot more than you do. it comes off a little perfumey, which I dont love, but it doesnt turn me away either. caramel, fruit medley, and i pick up on oak. not my favorite speyside, but enjoyable.

The 18 is $139 in my area, and the 12 is $65. I haven't tried either one but have been eyeing the 18. Generally, I try to stay under $100 excluding tax. I do enjoy the Oban 14, which sits around $95.

I wish you were still making videos! I enjoy them so much! Your analysis of single malts is amazing! Who doesn't love the Ardbeg Ten, UIG and Corey?!! I love many but I tend to stick to the core lineup! Hope you might start the reviews again! Be well! Cheers! Love the warm, peated Islay whiskies this time of year!! 🙂Oh, Lagavulin 16 was my entryway into Islay peated single malts and I immediately came to love, love, love Ardbeg, Laphroaig and so many peated expressions! I love unpeated too but I have to say I prefer peated expressions! Over time I seem to be going for the more elegant and the peated scotch can be quite elegant! Bunna is also fabulous - peated and non peated! Cheers!

I feel A’Bundah is “better”. It’s smoother and slightly more Sherry. 105 is great but A’Bundah (in most batches) pips it. However, in UK 105 is £20 cheaper these days so a bargain.

Great review! I just got the Quinta Ruban about a month ago and agree. It’s a wonderful 14 year at a relatively great price. It’s a bit on the sweet side which makes it good for a dessert drink or for a guest that’s not too into whisky.

I purchased a bottle of this yesterday. Last night was the neck pour. Let it sit half an hour, form my own opinions & its a decent dram. Well now Im adding a little water, letting sit half an hour or more & that sour pepperiness, turns into a kind of sour pineapple - its opened up & really delicious, this is its best form in my opinion. Kind of like Aultmore or Balblair with water ( not as complex, but the same base note )

Thanks for the video, I am looking to buy either of these. In my area, the Aberlour is anywhere from $20 - $30 CHEAPER than the 105 ($90 - $100 for AB vs $120 for the 105), so I was already leaning toward the A'BUNADH (currently on sale in NH for $85) and your excellent caomparison review has sealed my decision.

just want to add to the conversation by saying that i got a 2022 bottling one myself and I am rather disappointed. the dram comes off with a little more heat than expected... and instead of the dark, broody stewed fruit note that I associate with Glendronach, I got more of a cherry note that reminds me of bourbon.
