This was the worst Scotch that I have ever bought. I wanted to throw the bottle at whoever marketed this crap. It was so bitter that I could not get the taste out of my mouth. WTF Macallan? How could you sell this paint thinner? Do not buy this.

Good evening! Congratulations for the work you do! Enjoyable as always! I missed old good Talisker 10. I missed the taste and smell of the sea it had and i want to ask you for knowing if i buy it this Talisker 8 has the smell and taste of the sea that Talisker 10 had?

I think availability plays a big role in these votes. Not everyone lives in UK and try that many whiskey. Thanks for sharing your opinion 🙏

I have a 2022 bottling and it's one of the best scotches that I own. I went right back and bought several backups. I am in Chicago Illinois, so we must have gotten the good batches. It's absolutely amazing.

When you taste one of the glasses, does it influence the nose on the next one ? Genuinely wondering

If you’re using a 10 point score, show some courage and use only whole numbers. When you use 0.5 scores in a 10 point system, it shows you lack confidence and conviction in yourself.

i thought if I used 0.5 scores I was being more precise. also i dont consider whisky tasting a necessarily a courageous undertaking. i'm just having fun. so should you.

Bro why don't you deal with tea, maybe because of your origin you are better at it. Ardbeg the best distillery in the Highlands, it comes from the Islay where they have done so much to have a profile known all over the world and you only say Highland?

Your racist connotation aside I'd like to understand what you mean. You think I should have mentioned Ardbeg in my list of Highland whiskies? Or did you entirely miss the point of this video?

You should have had a friends mix them for you. You tell from the color of the whisky which one is which. Also you can see the color of the dot from your screen. We're not fooled. Not exactly blind, is it? hah hah!

Just got a Knockandoo 18 for 38 euros at my local supermarket... Thought it was probably going to be mid, but worth picking up at that price (Cheaper than Jura 10 or Glenlivet 15/Jura 10/Glenfarcas 12). You got me excited seeing as you rated it so highly! My first 18 year old dram too!

Paused again at 8:02 and I have to say that I enjoyed 7 or 8 small glasses of Balvenie about a week ago and found that from the 12 double wood, 12 new, 14 caribbean, 15 Madeira, 16 French Oak, 18 Pedro Ximinez, 21 Port Wood and 25, I found the 18 PX to be almost the best out of the batch. Obviously not better than the 25 but if you can grab the 18 PX for around $200 in a duty free, it's an absolute banger in the travel exclusive Balvenie series. I found it to be better than all the Balvenie's I have other than the 25 year.
