@0:20 Eh…. You post on YT whisk(e)y reviews… That is considered a serie (of reviews) 😉 Just saying 🤓😂 I had ones a GM from an independent company on a high strength…. That was quite a positive surprise

Soft spot for Glenmo..... but that label is a car crash............wow.

A few hours ago, I had my first dram of Ardbeg 10. 10 out of 10 stars.

Now £57.00 so it’s a Bangor ?

So you would take glenmorangie 10 over moray 12?

The NAS Elgin Classic has featured a few times in my collection for sub £20 and used as a guard whisky and always been enjoyed for what it is so maybe I'll have to upgrade it to the 12 in future. Thanks for your thoughts on this one

Glen Moray 12, Glenmorangie 10, both knock the pants of Glenfiddich 12 *starts a flamewar*

Just too expensive in Canada for what this is as a scotch. $120 Canadian with taxes is too high. I have had this scotch. It’s not worth $120! Cheers! Great video Jim!

Hi Jim, glad you were honest about this malt. As you say it’s an easy sipper and there’s nothing bad about it. Mind you for around £40 is a bit pricey especially when I can get this for around ( if I want too)€25. Slàinte Jim 🥃

Ive tried this a couple of times. As well as a couple of their other expressions, like port cask, sherry cask. Not bad. Pretty cheap here, $65AUD.

I've a soft spot for GM Jim, as it's where I kick-started my own whisky journey (it being a sherry cask finish on that occasion). It is what it is; a pleasant, easy going Speysider that won't offend anyone - the sort of bottle you can dive into when you don't want to think too much about what's in the glass. Just consider how much better things could be if it was an integrity presentation though? Slainte mhath 👍🙂🥃.

It has a good price, so it should be an easy sipper. Thanks for review 🤠

@1:57 "This season, this series will start with some simple whiskies" .... nailed it ! Too thin, much better alternatives, far more interesting ones out there for similar dollars. Sorry Jim, it's just not for me.

Wow such high praise comparing to the amazing Ledaig 18! What a stellar review Jim and you're absolutely right, this whisky is for us and 'we' seem to be very happy with it! I haven't tried it yet but will do this week. Nice hanging out with you at Jeff's live, cheers!

Appreciate the "samey" perspective. I find port finished and wheated bourbons help in this regard.

I was gifted a bottle of Glen Moray 12 by a "non-whisky" friend a couple of years ago. I was less than excited at the time, only to discover that there was nothing bad about it. The most interesting whisky in the world? Of course not. But a delightful sipper to share with friends who may not be as into whisky as I am? Indeed. The bottle did not last long at all. It's important we give these types of bottles a fair shake and enjoy them for what they are. Thanks, Jim!

Solid review, great thoughts, and I'm glad this one came out fantastic. Thanks for sharing!

Nice design for the bottle 🍾 thanks for the review, can't wait to try it 🤠

I love the viscous mouthfeel with this dram too! A Speyside surprise. Great review!!

Thanks for the review! My wife and I visited the distillery in 2019. Beautiful place. I doubt I will see this release in AZ but hopefully we will see something from Ardnhoe soon. Cheers!

Thanks Jim another big gun tuber with a good review of that stuff It’s gonna be on my radar hoping It won’t be too long before I taste it here in Canada Cheers 🥃

Thanks for the review Jim! Sounds like I might have to grab two bottles of this as soon as I see it in the States.

Happy to see all the positive reviews of this from people I trust. Good to hear it feels older than 5 years. Cheers Jim

I really enjoy your reviews

Great review Jim, one I’ve watched a few times as I’ve not bagged one of these…. Yet 😊. Glad to hear it’s as good as you hoped! Slàinte

Another great review Jim thank you! Looking forward to when this arrives on the shores of Canada.

Nice tease last night Jim. Cheers.

Hi Jim, this hasn’t reached my market yet but I’ll definitely buy one if I can get my hands on one. Slàinte Jim

Got one still unopened, one day soon.

Just happened to open my bottle last night. First impressions were good! I’m looking forward to following the future Ardnahoe releases

Great review my dude!

Still not opened mine yet but with all these notes you’re saying I don’t think it will take me long yo get stuck in. Great job buddy 🥃

Terrific review Jim! I can wait until it's possible to get a bottle in Canada! Exciting! Cheers!

Great review , hopefully I'll be able to buy a bottle.

I visited the distillery in July 2023 but they hadn’t released anything yet. I just ordered a bottle. I’m looking forward to tasting it.

Excellent review Jim 🥃 cheers.

Looking forward to enter a relationship with a soon arriving bottle. Since I haven't seen anyone making any comparisons to Ardbeg Wee Beastie or Bunna Moine (the young and inexpensive one) -seemingly with many common factors... this ought to be that much better.

Oh Jim, I remember fondly those '8 for an old penny Black Jacks and Fruit Salad chews' as a kid in the late 60s 😉It's a combination liquorice and aniseed flavour.....love it 😋. Very interesting tasting notes and an excellent review my friend. Slàinte Mhath from Wee Davy 🥃😃👍.

To me rye always offers a mint scent wich I really like. I also have a bottle of Lot 40 and I’m sipping a Templeton Rye 6 years old and I’m liking it.

Would recommend the 9 years old? It gets a nice score on whiskybase.

I completely agree with you on the acetone and yes that's in their nature. They are a bit samey but what I find with bourbons is when they get a bit older like 8-15 and higher proof above 50% then they come to their own. This one is a good one, not a great one but yeah the Elijah Craig is a beauty! Cheers 🥃

Nice one Jim! I did not enjoy this one. Not that there's anything wrong with it but when I have an Indian whisky, I want that little bit of Indian character which I get with Amrut Fusion or Paul John MIthuna. This one was like a standard Scotch whisky. I also tried the Indian market exclusive which was interestingly bottled at 42.8% and it was basically the same whisky but watered down. I don't really enjoy Hazelburn either so there you go. Cheers 🥃

great review. you do an excellent job identifying notes and putting it into words. i can only assume that comes from years of experience.

I’m excited to see your review of this one we have been waiting for. Im not sure ill see a bottle if this first release but I’m excited to know we can expect great things from this distillery. To compare it to the Ledaig 18 speaks volumes. Cheers buddy.

I’ve recently decided that bells is my favourite whiskey. Why? It’s nice with Pepsi max. I like a good whiskey neat, but most the time I’ll get in from work and have a whiskey and cola and chat to the missus. Famous grouse, red/black label, they’re trying to be something their not, and the the flavours don’t mix well with cola. Jack Daniel’s? Yeah it probably taste better with cola, but not £17 more per litre better. Bells and cola just works, and that’s why it’s in every pub. If I’m gonna have a treat, I’m spending over £40 on a bottle, if I want a drink to wind down at night, bells it is!

Love Jim's reviews of American whisky. Very open-minded. Was watching this review, set for subtitles while listening to a classical piece, and when Jim was giving the mashbill the subtitles translated as "molded barley". You gotta love how those wonderful Scottish accents constantly trip up the subtitle feature. Always enjoy your reviews, Jim, including your sense of humor and how entertaining you are. Keep up the good work!

Great intro 👏 I only had a glass of it, but it's a nice one. Would love to get my own bottle😊

I do like this dram

HELLO 👋 👋 VERY nice VIDEO.WHAT YEAR EDITION IS THANKS

Went straight to the Quebec liquor website. Loads of different expressions. Must be good stuff because it's practically all sold out!
