10 GREAT (Non-Smokey) Scotches Under $100 - 60 Second List!

[@headgoomba1984]

His pronunciation of all these names… as a Scot we need to have a word mate 😆

[@whiskeybonded]

Sorry... American. 🤔🤷

[@georgikostakiev8852]

I have tried some of them they are great, now u have to make top 10 of smokey scotches. Would love to see them! Keep up the good content 🤟

[@sarcasticscoundrel5152]

No Chivas Regal 12yr!? OUTRAGEOUS!

[@aaronraynor7703]

For me, I love peated Scotch, however, transitioning from bourbon and getting into Smokey scotches, Highland Park is a great bridge.

[@hunamsafee2]

I personally love the classic laddie but it does taste smokey even though it's unpeated

[@sull6976]

New into scotch coming from bourbon, I don’t mind smokey flavors but I’ve been eyeing that Dalmore 12… should I just wait and splash out for the 15?

[@whiskeybonded]

The 15 is better for sure. The answer to that question depends on what they sell for in your area. It's double here. The 15 isn't twice as good, but I don't drink it often, so for me, I buy the 15 and not the 12. Hope that helps. Let me know what you think! 🥃👍🏻

[@Iamamazing381]

What would you recommend for a smooth scotch under 100$ , great content, keep it up 🫡

[@whiskeybonded]

Glenfiddich 15 🥃

[@donaldblevins5028]

Heyy there's my bottle of scotch i keep under my desk at my office. Great way to wrap up my work week and walk home. Edit: Macallan, i prefer the double oak cask (blue box) but also like the sherry cask too (black box)

[@whiskeybonded]

Can't say I've ever had a Macallan I didn't like. 👍🏻🥃

[@Parrskey77]

Thanks for this video even though its a year later it helped me narrow my options for a non peaty scotch, i cant stand them tbh the iodine taste is too strong for me

[@whiskeybonded]

Glad I could help 👍🥃

[@Coachandrewjames]

I have a dumb question. Does "Glen" mean something? I saw a few brands there that started with Glen (also Glenlivet).

[@whiskeybonded]

It means "Valley" in Gaelic. 👍

[@Coachandrewjames]

@@whiskeybonded thank you!

[@revolvermaster4939]

Glenfiddich 15 was 10X better before they started sherrying it. It tastes like fabric softener now.

[@JR-tg1vg]

Anyone try the Dalmore 14 year PX?

[@whiskeybonded]

I have a review of that one on the schedule. Probably this weekend or next week. 👍🥃

[@JR-tg1vg]

@@whiskeybonded Okay awesome! I’ll check it out! :)

[@sideshowonacid]

Excellent list. I can think of a couple to add, but not a single one to take off….and how about a review of the Macallan Harmony Collection? I’ve yet to try a single release and at the price I’ve been on the fence.

[@whiskeybonded]

I can do that. Short answer? There are better choices in Macallan. The Classic Cut is better and less $

[@TheBluman1]

I’m a big bourbon guy. What Scotch would you recommend just having in my list of items?

[@whiskeybonded]

Do you mean a Scotch that you might like as a bourbon drinker, a Scotch that should be on your shelf so your collection has at least one, or a Scotch to keep on hand for Scotch drinkers? 🤔

[@TheBluman1]

Looking for a scotch that I might like and one that should be on my shelf.

[@whiskeybonded]

@@TheBluman1 as a bourbon drinker myself, I really like Glenlevit 18. Glenmorangie 12 The Lasanta is also a good one that should be a bit less money, presents well, should be easy to find, and is delicious thanks to the sherry cask finish. I find that the 12 is liked by everyone from non-whiskey drinkers to experienced Scotch lovers. Hope that helps. Let me know what you think.

[@inegom1735]

My wife doesn't like smokey or peaty whisky and prefers smooth whisky and burbon. Coming from bourbon, in addition to whiskybondeds great suggestions, I would chip in Aberlour double cask 12 year which uses american oak casks, it's a great budget whisky (at least in the UK) we always have it in and it's a good crowd pleaser and great for teasing people into whisky.

[@VangRVang]

I think Ardbeg fits in also 😂

[@whiskeybonded]

Agreed, but which ones?? I like Uigeadail a ton!

[@VangRVang]

@@whiskeybonded the smokest ones hahaa!

[@aaronraynor7703]

I don’t think Ardbeg is capable of making a bad Scotch

[@callmehkyle6609]

Glenfiddich is pronounced glen-fi-dukh.

[@snoopybobber]

Monkey shoulder. Less than $30

[@crystalmethshrimp]

Try not to take scotch advice from someone who doesn’t know how to pronounce Glenfiddich. If you want to try a great cheap scotch, grab a Bunnahabhain 12.

[@whiskeybonded]

American pronunciations...take it easy. It's suppose to be for fun. You know... Fun. 🙄
