I'm an American living in the Philippines and it's likely in the running for the best place on the planet to become an alcoholic :-) Johnnie Walker sets the stage here with the Black Label being probably the best deal going at only about $19 a liter; Double Black is about $10 more per liter. Gold Label Reserve is about $25/750ml. The Green Label is about $39/750ml. And the Platinum Label is about $59/750ml. I don't know how that's even possible. But if they're counterfeit then someone is doing a damn good job. For mixing, I've seen the Red Label for as low as $10 a liter. But the Philippines has a decent 5-year-old 80 proof whiskey (White Castle) that works great for that at less than $5 for a 750ml bottle. Glenlivet 12 is about $32/750ml, Glenfiddich 12 a couple of Dollars more. Maker's Mark is about $16.50 for a 750ml bottle. Bulleit is about $28 for a liter. Monkey Shoulder is about $32 for a 750ml bottle, 40% ABV.

Hi! Just a question, could you make (if you haven't already) a video where you pick out different wiskeys starting from beginner to intermediate and then to advanced? Would be nice for a newbie like myself. I really like what you are doing by the way! Cheers.

I am new to whiskey. I here are a few that I like. Monkey Shoulder, Four Roses single barrel, Knob Creek single barrel, WoodFord Reserve. LAGAVULIN 16 which does take some time to get used too. They did a video on best. Whiskey glasses the one they are using. Is a noseing whiskey glass. Costs seven dollars and works great.

I've only bought Glenfarclas 10 once and is 40% I think and for a few more dollars can get the 12 at 43%.difference in spirit taste vs maturation at a higher strength. Both are very good .

Just curious if you guys have done a video on what scotch you'd recommend to someone new to scotches as a must try in regards to each region. For example, what scotch or distillery is a must try to get an understanding of what that region is best known for each region. i.e.. highlands, isles, etc??? Looking to expand my bar :)

I always recommend people try George Dickel 12 at least once. It's not a bourbon so I feel like it gets overlooked. An incredibly easy drinking whiskey at a good price.

man, i wish laphroaig 10 was as daniel said "or less" than $30's or $40's in my area. both laphroaig 10 and ardbeg 10 are both $50 and lagavulin 16 runs about $100

whiskyscotch d -This channel’s reviews have created demand so that prices and rarity have increased for many of these brands. Outside of brands like Buffalo Trace and Evan Williams, most of these whiskeys have shot up 10$ for less rare and $15-40 for more rare. It’s crazy.
@HBecco5 жыл бұрын
Here in Italy, laphroaig 10 is set on 29 euro finished and lagavulin 16 on 48 euro finished. And I count on Amazon, maybe at the local store is more or less similar

Ditto me, Lagavulin is about 100. But they occasionally have Laphroig for $39.99 as a special.

Ive only just recently started really liking whiskey ...I admit, for the longest time I have hated whiskey something in the taste made me feel nauseus. But then I happened to buy Bulleit just out of mad curiousity and ever since I have been converted. Gotta come back to these crowdsourced videos you guys have made and go down the list. lol.. Thanks for recommendations!

Got my dad the Bulleit Rye for his birthday, and myself the Bourbon (just £25 & £20, respectively! :O) - safe to say we both got some great whiskey! The Bourbon is more to my tastes - highly recommended - best budget whiskey that I've got so far!

NZAnimeManga bullet is great for bringing to people who aren't too into whiskey imo. The bit of cinnamon makes it really accessible I think. How was the rye?

ImNotJoshPotter - yeah, agreed! Mhmm, the Rye is the equivalent of the Bourbon - really accessible! I prefer it over the Wild Turkey 81 Rye, not yet had the pleasure of the 101 Rye (though if the 101 Bourbon is anything to go by it should be great too!)
