This is my favorite 12 year dram. I just love how balanced it is with an incredible aroma and taste. Well done Balvenie!

[@GuppyCzar]

This one is one of my favorites.

[@nathanas64]

Outstanding whiskey. I wouldn’t say it is for beginners. This whiskey stands out in smoothness and complexity.

[@WoodshavenPatriot]

Love this one. Glad we get 43% here in US. It is on sale this month and I’m stocking up !!

[@groberti]

yep, so lucky! sucks that these are all 40% in Europe :/

[@Theologian1.]

One of the best

[@lovejoy3347]

I always have a special measure for this incredible drink. It's called a pint glass.

[@StelmachsWorld]

Wow, your english has gotten way better

[@AlinJapan]

This is reasonably priced in Japan at about ¥5,000-6,000 yen (roughly $50-60) and really sets a high bar for introductory whiskeys. Thank you for reviewing this one!

[@grbadalamenti]

Bought this at the Interspar in Wien Hauptbahnhoff last year for 40 euros as it was on sale for New Year. I hope they will repeat it this year too

[@nik.b430]

The sounds they make when drinking this is disgusting man

[@northernninety7]

He said its not stinky but its a speyside scotch, it definitely has a bit of that musty malt note on the nose and palate.

[@thecigarporch4509]

I cant wait to try this next payday! I am new to scotch whisky but I am pretty sure I like the more sherry forward whisky after trying Macallan DC. I remember a previous video on this and when you mentioned oranges you had my attention!

[@peterhamilton2695]

Yeah ....what dad said

[@JPC326]

Can't believe I waited 2 years to taste this. An amazing whiskey.

[@peacekeeper9840]

Question - if the whiskey was matured in Oak and sherry, how are we smelling Vanilla, oranges, fruits, chocolate and other smells? Those smells are just in our head created by our mind.

[@miltonthatherton1375]

Tropical fruit salad with a peculiar coarse sweetness. Reminds me of the Glenfiddich 15, but this has a sharper, more interesting character.

[@bradleymcdonald6273]

Just bought this from my local bottle shop... The tin had lots of dust on it... Now I know why, it's also a 25th anniversary bottle

[@andyhunter4819]

I opened a bottle the other day, really intense sweet full of flavour / sherry had a glass a few days later and it was as though I was drinking a completely different whisky , is this a common experience ? or have I got a duff bottle?

[@vonhovian9980]

Completely normal. Once you open a bottle of whisky the flavor will evolve as it "breaths" over time. Probably some chemistry takes place, oxidation, evaporation, ect?? A lot of whiskys benefit from this, some not so much depending on your taste.

[@deifor]

When I opened mine, i was a little disapointed. A few minutes later is balanced out but at the beginning it smelled or tasted (don´t remember) a bit metalic. I hope the next time I poor some it keeps getting better. Also, I was eating pork with lots of pickled onions so maybe that's why.

[@Ice-Fall]

@@deifor Would have had the pork with a beer, the whisky, before the meal.

[@eduardodosreis5589]

tried this one a few weeks ago at work with collegues. I loved it so much. I bought my first botle yesterday :)

[@mrphatmunkeyspew6969]

How was it?

[@castorviolet]

Bought it at SGD 90. Nice dram indeed

[@minnesotanice369]

my favorite

[@DanielLopez-ft2md]

I couldnt rinse in my mouth. To strong. Why

[@mikecoco346]

Great whisky my favorite or at least one of them but it’s 40% now instead of 43% like the older bottles!

[@Phalanx6433]

Where did you buy the glasses from?

[@willemkilian9563]

Google Urbanbar, you can get nice whisky tasting glasses from them.

[@Kell4088]

Pretty much anywhere. Check Amazon.

[@Kalafinwë]

Christ you have a 21 years old Glendronach in the back, amazing one.

[@jackdolah2031]

What is the best irish whiskey

[@Gabriel-vt4jh]

Try Redbreast 12, usually mentioned amongst Irish whiskeys; Horst did a review back in 2015.

[@sylonncarr8338]

Its 99 us in my duty free. Crazyyy

[@AlinJapan]

That's crazy! That's about the price of the 14yo Rum Cask.

[@Kell4088]

A little light on depth and flavor. It’s a bit too drinkable for my taste, much in the same vein as a Mac12. But if you’re looking for something with complexity, keep looking.

[@craigd123]

Smells like nail polish, tastes like metho

[@keithwedin6307]

Like the reviews but you have to get the swishing away from the microphone. Disgusting.

[@Vesbolk]

For me, this is the worst whiskey of any kind that I’ve ever had. I must be sensitive to the tannins of tired old wood. I get strong notes of bile and vomit. Thanks for the video.

[@Dynamikcheese]

Vesbolk I’m so happy you wrote this comment as I’ve been looking for exactly that. Bile and vomit is my favourite.

[@themole2024]

Have another bourbon bile boy.

[@Ice-Fall]

@Peter Macias Yes, and girly boys.
