“You can only burn so much toast” deserved more reaction than it got! Well done, well done Trenton.

[@FirstPhilWhisky]

Thanks so much for the shoutout! Grateful to hear you enjoy my channel. What a great line up and video! I have to agree about the Loch Gorm being divine. It’s such a great Islay whisky. Cheers and happy New Year! 🥃

[@boomerfixer]

Love the content you guys bring. While I was in the Navy in 2010 we go a chance to have a port call in Scotland. While touring Stirling Castle they were holding a scotch tasting in the gift shop and I found that I also really enjoyed Edradour 10 year. Needless to say I didn't leave there empty handed.

[@mpyle27]

My wife and I just wiped out our second bottle in one year. It's excellent. Chocolate covered raisins...all day. It's special.

[@crivitzguy5017]

There aren't enough hours in the day or days left in my life to ever come close to developing the knowledge you guys have. I read all the comments too and they also amaze me. You guys really know your stuff! Awesome channel. Lots to be learned here from the video and the comments. I appreciate you all!

[@jamescollins7584]

Ohh guys gotta say that was a brilliant video, talk about LFMAO at poor Trentons reactions to most of those. Clearly some scotches don’t appeal to the younger generations palates. I have to say, I went on a trip to Scotland with my folks when I was younger, early to mid 20’s and my dad and I tried many whiskies in a bar in the top North Of Scotland and I couldn’t come to grips with his love of them at all. Now 25 years down the road well I cannot get enough of them. Absolutely love the Speyside area of whiskies and I’ll keep on asking you Kurt please do a video of your best favourite Speyside’s. Glenallachie I know is up there obviously but there are some other super drams coming out of that area ….. loved that video fellas…. Priceless!😂

[@brucekerr4743]

I'm not a Scotch drinker, so normally would have bypassed this episode. However, I find the father and son banter and interplay very entertaining, so I watched and was not disappointed.

[@johnk7093]

5:24 7:21... Trenton, I get your humor... Great Vid, love your bottles you picked. also, thinking Trenton likes the Speyside... not a bad thing. 10:44, Kurt, you can see the loveliness of that bottle in your face... now I am on the hunt for that bottle....

[@mikestewart3670]

Absolutely hilarious watching Trenton’s facial expressions as he took a sip of each one of those! I would probably be making the same expressions.

[@DileepB]

bourbon head who is incapable of appreciating fine scotch whiskies!

[@Jeepman1776]

By far one of my favorite channels I’ve been able to find this year.

[@N_D_N_CHZHD]

Long time scotch drinker who switched to bourbon and now going back to scotch as I’m getting priced out on good bourbon. Glad you discovered Amrut - probably the most innovative and interesting whisky that I have had are coming from here.

[@islepilot]

I enjoyed this video while sipping some of my 2022 Kilchoman Loch Gorm, which is currently my favorite Scotch. Love the banter from Trent..."you can only burn so much toast" was almost a spit take.

[@briancampbellrocks]

Guys, PLEASE shoot some B-Roll footage with closeups of the bottles! You mention the names, which can be forgotten once you start chatting about them. It would be nice to see the labels for shopping purposes!

[@txrazor2643]

What i do is zoom in on the label and take a screen shot on my iphone.

[@briancampbellrocks]

@@txrazor2643 I would think that you would do a screenshot first then zoom in on it. 😂 Either way, shooting a quick shot of the label and layering over the video is easy and quick in post.

[@TBrizzle]

They also have the names of the bottles in the description.

[@Pineconeboy55]

The bottles never leave frame

[@roscoepcoltrane23]

The first time I had Ardbeg 10 my bourbon journey pretty much ended. I haven’t had an Islay I haven’t liked yet. Ardbeg anything is amazing. Laphroaig is great also. Trying to find Ledaig 10. Uigeadail is definitely my favorite so far.

[@VinegarAndSaltedFries]

Oh my what an amazing list. I absolutely love Edradour such a small farm distillery that also own Signatory’s independent bottler. Very unique and special is the best thing I can call it. Arran Ten is so beautifully honey and floral excited to try other’s in the Arran line. Trying to track down an 18. If you enjoy that and haven’t had the fortune to try the James MacTaggert it’s well worth tracking down. Tamdhu- Is such a great Holiday Whiskey. Such a Sherry Bomb. Phil’s notes are so on point for that. Kilchoman- is so good. Speechless and they keep getting better. They started out a bit inconsistent but have really been hitting the spot for me. Haven’t had the fortune to try the Glenallachie 15 but the batch Strength 10 year ones are so good. I’m gunna add one for my other Scotch lovers. Laphroaig’s Batch 14 10 year old Cask Strength is really really good this year worth grabbing. I’m excited to maybe see an Irish list one year. Absolutely love the Scotch content and it’s crazy how much more Scotch is affordable for me compared to the awesome bourbons/rye’s. One day Trenton trying all the types of peated whiskey would be funny.

[@mikeingham2550]

This was great! The banter between you guys is priceless.

[@iamthesenate6827]

Kurt-if you like the Edradour 10, you should definitely try the Signatory Edradour 10-year. It’s turned up to 46%, and the casks seem to have even more influence. Highly recommend!

[@clingman71]

And Ballechin! Seems like Edradour/Ballechin are only recently getting some attention, not sure why.

[@JEM707]

Or the Edradour 12 Caledonia.

[@nebulusnebulus6503]

My first peated whisky was Laphroaig 10. The first two drams were dramatic and discouraging. When the bottle was in its middle capacity i started to enjoy it and six months later when I drank the last glass I fully enjoyed it

[@vincentr.6109]

This summer I tried Lagavulin 16, and I found it okay. Later on, this autumn I had Laphroaig 10. I bought a bottle of it the moment I saw a price I was willing to pay. I'm glad you did not give up on it. I may need to revisit Lagavulin again.

[@mattgant2254]

I have a Laphroaig 10 I need to revisit myself. I’m a mega fan of Ardbeg and Bruichladdich Islays, but Laphroaig 10 came off and smelling and tasting like cigarette ashes.

[@gman5986]

Such a great Father/Son presentation and full of humour with bourbon drinker vs. Scotch drinker. Portonova is at the top of my world whiskies . My palate does not get ant comparison with Kilchoman Loch Gorm to Ardbeg Uiegedail as these flavor profiles are worlds apart but by far the top of the top peated whiskies is Laphroaig 10 Cask Strength and there is no comparison on mother Earth to this peated whisky at any price!

[@100puremustard5]

Solid list! Love me some Kilchoman and Loch Gorm is a goood dram. I would suggest the Kilchoman Sanaig at $67 for those wanting a great affordable Sherry\Peat combo. As fror the Glenallechie 18 I can't see it being 3x as good as the 12yr @ $65. Still need to try a Tamdhu. Great video guys! Keep it up! Note to Trenton: I was about 4yr into my whiskey journey before I could appreciate Peated Scotch so don't feel bad...

[@doctorzombie9799]

I recently went to Islay and Kilchoman was my favorite distillery tour. The Loch Gorm is phenomenal!

[@ChadDacus]

Trenton's reactions are priceless! Love these type of videos.

[@tedsalmon2533]

I've got to say I totally agree with your comments on Amrut. Wow, what complex delicious whiskey! I picked up a bottle of Amrut cask strength blended with Islay peated and man! Powerful and an avalanche of flavor!

[@primalsear]

Love the burnt toast dig!!!😂 Funny watching Trent's facial expressions. Like feeding a baby a lemon.

[@joelwerre]

Just did a distillery tour of GlenAllachie, amazing tour, generous samples. Beautiful location. They have a wonderful cast strength at the distillery as well.

[@slbdrinks]

Would LOVE to do that one day. Glad you were able to experience it.

[@natantataii8195]

I've been impressed with all the Glenallachie I have bought. I mostly a high peat guy, love my Ardbegs, the laphroig, but there something with Glenallachie which gives med the feeling of a great buy each time, even if it is somehow pricy. Nice video.. Cheers from Norway

[@paulhendershot111]

Trenton's reactions to the sips of Scotch reminds me of when we were kids and Mom would give us a cough syrup when we had a cold that tasted like cherry and Listerine. I must admit that I am mostly ignorant of single malt scotches but plan to do some learning and tasting to get some knowledge of those whiskys. I do have a bottle of Japanese single malt whisky that I like and I have been told it is very similar to scotch.

[@stevezane68]

Hey I like first Phil too, he is over my side of the world so generally we can get hold of what he can only we get more bourbon here in Oz than the Kiwis can get. Good to hear you mention him. Love the channel guys, how about some Irish Whiskey? Irish has been my favourite lately.

[@danielwhitmore617]

Trenton, if you are not a fan of Single Malt Scotch traditional flavors, give Tullibardine Artisan or 12YO Double Wood: The Artisan is first fill ex-bourbon casks with soft vanilla and sweet barley notes. Retails for $30. The 12YO Double Wood is a new LTO that spends 12 years in first fill ex -Bourbon casks and then 14 months in Oloroso casks. Super smooth and has a lot of great flavors golden raisins , vanilla, chocolate, oak. Only $50/bottle Enjoy watching your guys videos and am a Knob Creek 9YO fan so will try a 12 and 15YO! Happy New Year,

[@deeshmond]

Glenallachie 18 was definitely the best whiskey I had all year as well. It was incredible. One of my favourite scotches ever in fact. Problem is I can’t find it anywhere up here in canada!

[@TheReal_DeanD]

WOW!! What a line up. Most of those are attainable to me with the exception of the GlennAllachie 18 year. I think Kurt would dig Benromach 10 year. For $40 to $50 it is super solid and depending on what you had to eat that day you can get different flavors each time. I would also say try Kilkerran 12 year.

[@natantataii8195]

Try the glenallachie 12 yo... I haven't had one for a while, but it is really nice. Or you can try the 10 yo. Cheers & happy holidays

[@danielsavage9811]

Blended burnt toast with water. I’ve always loved that flavor. Delicious.

[@sherzodziyakhanov1908]

I tried Arran 10 after watching one of your videos. Loved it. Became one of my favorites. Trying to find Tamdhu in my area.

[@steveno7058]

Nice picks! My top 5 for 2022: Ardnamurchan Single Cask 632 ($85), Bunnahabhain 11 Manzanilla($180), Craigellachie 18 Hunter Laing ($72), Glenallachie 10 Batch 6 ($70) and Macallan Montrose and Sons ($72).

[@shaggy-wb1yn]

I am single malt guy and ironically my favorite single malt right now is balcones that Texas air just does something beautiful to single malt. You either love Islay or hate I liked it from the first pour I ever had

[@Fisklina]

I just discovered your channel and have really been enjoying it. I'm more of a single malt guy but dabble in bourbon, although the prices here in Sweden are pretty ridiculous because of import and, well, most things are expensive here haha. On a side note, a Port pipe is just an elongated barrel for ageing Port. Wishing you guys many great sips for 2023.

[@ericamiles2641]

All good choices. I loved that Tamdhu.

[@hollyjhj3732]

I really appreciate you guys doing this video. I was into Scotch way before I developed an appreciation for bourbon and still have one very old, very prized bottle, but the bourbon world has stolen my focus in the last few years. My husband still prefers Scotch, though, and I just bought him a Bunnahabhain 18 Year for Christmas that I know he's going to love. Been trying to find an Arran 10 for quite some time, but they seem to be scarce in my immediate area. I really appreciate delving into Scotch with you guys now and then, and I appreciate Trenton being a good sport! 😀

[@kevinperry1843]

You guys are great! Happy Holiday to you and yours!!

[@lonniesharp9109]

This list rests firmly in the obscure whisky you're not likely to come across in a local liquor store, and for that, I wouldn't put them in a "best overall" type list. That being said, I would personally love to give a few of these a go! One thing I've wondered (and I know it can be a little contentious) is when doing tastes, and really trying to get an idea of the complexity of the Whisk(e)ys you guys try: Why are you not adding a few drops of water to open those bad boys up? 🥃

[@tharrigan5661]

Peated scotch is certainly an acquired taste. Ardbeg and Laphroig tend to be my ‘go to’s’. Just finished a tour of Scotland earlier this year and there are so many more options it will take me years to go through them all. Keep up the good work. Great review.

[@Ghostman1846]

I'm fairly new to the Scotch world and after 3 years of drinking, I still have issues with Peated scotch. I still get the "bandaid" taste unless I'm three or four "tastes" in. :D

[@marceljohnson2215]

I tried to start with port charlotte 10 and gave a 90% full bottle away. I’ll probably give it another go with lagavulin or laphroig but for not I’m sticking with highland and speyside 😂

[@Ghostman1846]

@@marceljohnson2215 Bruchladdie is great from that distillery, but I'm a bit hesitant to try their Port Charlotte brands.

[@JacobNichols24]

The Ardbeg Uigeadail is my favorite from Islay. I remember the first time I tried a peated scotch. I absolutely LOATHED it. Before my resurgence in my bourbon obsession a couple years ago I was on a peat kick. I haven't drank much of my now small scotch collection lately, but I do need to revisit it. Great video guys. Maybe Trenton will come to love scotch like I eventually did

[@SandraRubenstein]

Kurt you had a bottle a while back of the Glenmorangie Quinta Rubin 14 yr finished in port cask that you said was so good and I found one in North Carolina when I was there for Thanksgiving and decided to buy it… just to have something different besides bourbon. OMG I fell in love with it and so did everyone else! I’m definitely a bourbon girl but this one changed my attitude about scotch. So if I can do it Trenton you can too! Just have to find the right one. Oh and I’m so glad you’re hair is growing back! 😉 Merry Christmas guys! 🥃

[@dbltime]

We visited the distillery on Isle of Arran when we were in Scotland. A wonderful tour and their scotch is outstanding! Their 10 year is a great pour. Thanks for including it in your top 5 picks!

[@aaronsmith4678]

A Scotch in Scotland is where my whiskey journey started. Auchentoshan Three Wood is a great entry point for Bourbon drinkers.

[@bigdave2952]

For me a daily drinker is, besides what you said, it’s one that I don’t mind just pouring sipping on and not thinking too much about it. If I pour something expensive or rare I really want to concentrate on it and pick out all the nuances of it.

[@FakingANerve]

Agreed - well said! 🍻

[@treimo7073]

Truly great episode. Peathead checking in here, and I LOVE Ardbeg Uigeadail - so now I feel like I’ve GOT to find this Kilchoman! Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones, fellas!

[@georgewalker6883]

Arron 10 is wonderful for sure. Love the Single Malts!

[@CharlesOffdensen]

You should try Kilchoman Port Cask. It's one of the best whiskies I had this year. Smoke fish and strawberry jam.

[@jasonbennett499]

I'm 100% going to listen to Trenton on this!

[@karlmeaner2624]

Right when you picked up an Islay I could predict Trenton's reaction. It really is a whisky that you either love or you hate. Not much room in between. I think in a future video it should be Trenton's turn to torture Kurt with a spirit he isn't particularly fond of XD

[@theflaterfapologist99]

Yes! Please! Rye him to the moon 😂

[@heatherharrison264]

I have Arran 10-year in my collection. Watching this video got me in the mood for it, so I got into that bottle and poured some into a glass. It is an excellent whisky. I'm envious of the Amrut. I have a bottle of their entry level single malt, and I like it a lot. I would love to try some of their higher end offerings. My stock of single malts is full right now (I place strict limits on my collection to avoid letting it get out of hand), but maybe the next time I have room for one, I'll look for something good from Amrut. Or maybe I'll seek out the GlenAllachie - I'm tempted by that one too.

[@ronhofferber9847]

great video.... nice to see Trenton's point of view versus yours Kurt. Many of us are learning about scotch...

[@TheSharkPadlock]

This is the first of your videos I've seen, and I am impressed and amused! Some good picks, and some good sportsmanship from a non-Scotch drinker, as well.

[@cnwilliams59]

That is a great list! I just got my hands on the Arran 10 and am so pleased with it. I have been on the lookout for the Tamdhu but haven't located it yet. Now you have me on the hunt for the Kilchoman too lol

[@jameshoward4044]

Curt helped me navigate whiskey in general and bourbon specifically a little over a year ago. With a near immediacy I knew I liked bourbon, maybe I liked Japanese whiskey but Irish and Scotch were not my thing. Fast forward to today and Ardbeg Uigeadail is a daily sipper for me. So Trenton, there is hope for ya. I used to hate the taste of peat, and smoke? Who wanted to drink that? Well, now I do. 😂 Thanks to both of you for your entertaining videos.

[@terrencemcdermott5840]

“It’s not bad…” “It’s suuperb.” Haha!! 😆 love it!

[@pauld9933]

Euradour's Ballechin is also a wonderful peated whisky

[@Johnsouthshore]

I see Edradour 10 as a special mention. Love that too even though the distillery has been shut down for about a year..I stumbled across it about 13 years ago. Mow a special order for me

[@jtf2dan]

Edradour distillery is also the same location all of the Signatory independent bottlings are aged at.....all 5 are great choices and I own several different bottlings from all 5 on your list. Well done!

[@dadever]

Trenton, it is crazy how your palate will change over the years. I was into Scotch well before I was into Bourbon and Rye. (Like in the 90s and 00s before whiskey was cool.) Somewhere along the line I realized that 1) I kept getting heartburn from Scotch and 2) I could go broke drinking good Scotch, while Rye was relatively cheap (when you could find it). And now I don't think I could go back - but I won't rule anything out. You can get a very acquired taste for that peat malt. But the way people now charge for Rye, I might need to find something else next. 🙂

[@torbenmortensen75]

5 fantastic choices, love Kilchoman loch gorm and yes Arran 10 is just a lovely easy sipper.

[@garrettcannon1732]

Hey guys been watching hing a few vids from you channel. I have really enjoyed watching them. You seem to be very knowledgeable and honest. Just out of curiosity what city and or state are yall in bc your prices are about 50 to 80 cheaper than mine here in the south. Cheers guys

[@jasonbrandt4173]

Great video guys. I love scotch and look forward to any of your scotch videos. Just say no to peat. Lol

[@GrahamGreenwood-q3r]

Loved this guys :-) “kerb stomped” hahahaha

[@leonardallen7380]

What I enjoy is sensible ideas on what to search for, and as far as fruit cake goes it takes me back to the late 1960s when you get a fruit cake for Christmas a save for the next year to give as present, rye is my favorite, and price. Thank you for sharing

[@gregoryberger9676]

Interesting list. I have been meaning to pick up a bottle of Arran. For peated scotches, I really like Kilchoman. I have only bought their least expensive Machir Bay. But it is so good that it is hard to justify paying more. But I will someday. Thanks for the review.

[@mknewlan67]

Absolute best list I’ve been looking forward too, this one and best rye whiskies. Love, love, love Scotch. Especially finished in sherry casks. Any recommendations welcome.

[@mikekestell3987]

Kurt, had to run to total wine and look for Kilchoman. They had Kilchoman Machir Bay. 92.5% time in ex-bourban, then 7.5% in sherry. 46% abv. It's awesome. Mild like Brucchladdich Port Charlotte. 79.99 in Washington state.

[@douglaspotterjr2746]

Curb stomped. made me laugh so hard.thanks a lot.

[@pizzawarlord9232]

Another excellent video guys. I love the scotch videos so much. Would like to see Irish but I think in the past you said limited by you. I would like to see Trenton’s and your view on Glenmorangie Signet

[@thomassteele6422]

Arran 18 is probably my favorite bottle that I own, in terms of taste and drinking experience, beautiful bottle indeed.

[@MrVohnkar]

Arran 10 is a fine dram and I feel you can't go wrong with any GlenAllachie's core range. Cheers & Happy Holidays Kurt & Trenton.

[@dramandrive]

I hate that these videos come out so early, it just makes me want to have a drink before work lol

[@dramandrive]

The curb stomp comment was the best part. Gotta go with Trenton on the scotch here.

[@karlgolden2251]

I tried for about 3yrs to find a scotch that I thought was really good, after wasting about $3000.00 I decided they all have one thing in common that I just couldn't get past, they all tast like you licked a ashtray.

[@nickp5225]

Hey guys love your channel, love the content as I enjoy drinking too and finding new experiences and flavours so your channel had helped. Just had a question if you guys have thought about also doing reviews on still all the things you guys do but expanding onto Canadian whiskey and wine and other liquors and alcohol? Just because I’m in Canada and it would be Interesting to see what you think about the products we have here or around the world. Also merry Christmas and happy New Years 🍻

[@dunny2124]

Love my tamdhu bs & 12 yr, Arran is tops also for me, got the Ed-caledonia in south bend last month 👍, also,met Harry finally, talked in his office, 1st time at bee’s, i have an account 😂. Merry xmas 🎄❤️

[@davecashel4007]

Well it’s nice to see the young guy class it up every now and then. 👌

[@ericjones6596]

As a guy who loves the profile of most sherry cask whiskeys, I am very interested to hear about Tamdhu. Somehow in my now nine year journey into Scotch and other whiskey, I have never heard of this one. I need to get a taste of it.

[@lyacoubian]

Wonderful presentation guys..!!! I have a question for Trenton... What's your opinion on Redwood Empire bottlings, especially Rocket Top and Grizzly Beast. Wishing you both a healthy and prosperous NEW YEAR.

[@WhiskyMystery]

Haha Trent needs more smoke practice. Laughed at the idea of Arran 10 being smoky. All good fun.

[@wildernessman760]

Curt and i both are on the same page. As we both like whisk{e}y. be it bourbon scotch rye Irish Japanese Canadian. I'd love to have a sip with this guy and just talk whisk{e}y. Amazing collection and bar.

[@AVERAGEWHISKEYDRINKER]

Kurt: I get chocolate in there...... Trenton: Hooooow??? LOL - I'm dying

[@PetrosChalkitis]

Glenallachie is best distillery in Scotland! Try their 10 year batch releases at 110 proof! Phenomenal!!!

[@andrew_dudinetz7608]

Just watched Stuff and Whisky’s last video and then the first bottle you bring out was the bottle they tasted blind. Wild lmao.

[@TheZeal04]

I can't agree more on the GlenAlachie 18 being great. I picked up a bottle and it's fantastic. Not the same vintage, it was super dusty. I believe the code says it from 2018.

[@aginsfbayarea7350]

Fun show. I like everything Arran produces. The 18 is a regular go-to when I'm in the mood for Scotch. Have you tried their "light" Lochranza Reserve? A fine drop indeed! I've had the Kilchomon Loch Gorm and like Trenton, not my thing. I have a bottle of GlenAllachie 12yo 2006 Bourbon Cask, that's pretty special, and I wonder if Trenton might enjoy it. Happy Holidays friends!

[@_Brohan]

Kilchoman

[@jacobrich7785]

Looks like a great lineup ! I've only tried the arran but have a couple Kilchomans I'm going to crack soon

[@clingman71]

Great list! Trenton needs to try multiple tastes of Loch Gorm, as you get acclimated to the peat, the other flavors come forward. If you only ever take 1 sip, you’ll only ever get that initial smoke burst. If you like Edradour and peated single malts, I recommend Ballechin.

[@whiskeymusic9684]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Love this review!!! And Great picks.

[@mpyle27]

Kurt...I have a Kilchoman aged in Mezcal Cask. Purchased at the distillery last year. I will be visiting family in June. Would love to crack that bottle with you. If that doesn't work then, when I decide to open that bottle, I will send you a pour. Cheers!

[@01blaval]

For me with the Edradour, the stand out taste note is the ”bitter almond”. I love this Scotch👍🏼

[@MaltMuserWhisky]

Nice list, gents. Slainte!

[@DileepB]

great selections!

[@BlackJack09]

“So I can’t buy these at Home Depot”😂😂 great selection!

[@mjr76]

Trent, my thoughts exactly on peated scotches!

[@ChristopherNeeme]

Peated scotch like Lagavulin 16 or Ardbeg Corryvreckin are what I would describe as "like drinking BBQ." Just the smell of a BBQ is enough for my mind to immediately associate with peated scotch. So it's a natural food pairing there, and if one enjoys a good BBQ that could be a way to get into this type of scotch exploration. Kurt did his best with the pie experiment, so maybe it's food for thought. Heh, see what I did there...

[@billhoney9110]

Pleae, add list of scotch names some of the bottles are hard to see. Great video!!

[@clifflattanzio5267]

I so agree with Trenton.

[@graveshotx]

Someone's got to get Kurt a GlenAllachie Store pick. I have 2 and they are both cask strength and let me tell you, Amazing! Also, would be a fun experiemnt to have Trent eat some shortbread cookies before some of these scotches and see if that doesn't align his pallet better to malt whiskey. After all, he seemed to like the Jack Daniels Malt...
