[@hilary544]

I woke up my sleeping pets laughing at this. My first thought-“what happened to Phil??”

[@FirstPhilWhisky]

Should I return the roast with a Gwhisky distrack song? But seriously, great picks and that was funny as hell 🤣

[@GeoffreyBangers]

@@FirstPhilWhisky Oh hell yeah, whisky tube needs an Oceana rivalry. Where's @McIntyresMalts Wade? We need a three way rivalry to see whose accent is the worst. I'm abstaining because my name might bear similarities to a certain Canadian who over pronounces every French term he can (you can definitely use that). I'm only stoking the flames because I'm a follower of all three accounts and I love you all for your unique qualities (but there's a reason some of you have less subscribers). There's another feebee! Oh God, I can't wait for this! Cheers!!

Great video and humour Geoff! I knew you would pick Talisker. By the way, I understand Phil perfectly without subtitles and I'm pretty sure Karl Urban would too. 😂

Kilchoman has taken over Islay. They destroyed Lagavulin.

[@GregoryKodolanyiRitter]

Great humour.

[@FabiusBR1]

Good video. Definitely agree with you about Glenglassaugh Sandend and Tamdhu 12. Tamdhu 12 reminds me of Macallan back in the 80’s and 90’s when Macallan still used good casks and was priced reasonably. The Sandend makes me excited to see what Rachel Barrie can do in the future as she bottles more or her own distillate. She got the Sandend right. Not a fan of Lagavulin or Talisker, but that’s because I’m not a peat fan. Haven’t tried Bladnoch or Hazelburn. As always, it is fun to watch your videos, whether I agree or disagree with your conclusions. Keep up the good work!

[@andrewbutler7681]

I'm sure I've done lists for this before (even including unpeated Islay and peated Speyside, just to be awkward!), but my single malt open bottle count makes it difficult: Highland - 146 bottles Speyside - 129 bottles Lowland - 37 bottles Island - 36 bottles Campbeltown - 13 bottles Islay - 45 bottles I also have bottles from 34 other countries besides Scotland... but not (yet) Papua New Guinea!

[@stevenjosefsson5749]

Good list, liking the fact that you went with something different. i was almost certain that some form of Arran/Lagg would make the list.

[@xxacidmv]

Great list. I was looking forward to you doing this after Phil challenged you.

[@jamescostigan3721]

Highlands: Deanston 12 (I know you're not a Deanston fan, what is wrong with you?😉) Speyside: Craigellachie 13 Islands: Arran 10 Islay: Bunnahabhain 12 (preferably Cask Strength) Campbeltown: Tough, as I don't like peat, so I'll go minimum peat with Glen Scotia 15 (it's ok. I have had a sample of Hazelburn and I swear it was slightly peated...maybe it just picks up that character from the Springbank atmosphere, or I'm just hypersensitive to peat) Lowlands: I've only ever had one (Auchentoshin...I don't care if I misspell it) and I hated it. Therefore, I will cheat here - Since their warehouses are across the street in the Lowlands, I am going to count Glengoyne Cask Strength as a Lowland, with all apologies to their Highlandsness. Thanks for another great video. Cheers!

[@whiskywhereabouts]

I like your rules/framework. That's the first step I've been considering... (Your list is great, of course). Cheers!

[@mve9899]

I absolutely love the humor in your videos. The straight face you keep as you say the funniest shite cracks me up each time. Im curious: how many retakes do you need to do on average? Greetings from the Netherlands!

[@Gwhisky]

Hah thanks. Appreciate the kind words. As for the retakes... I don't do many. Half the time I just decide to keep any blunders in. Cheers! 🥃

[@NoteworthyWhisky]

[@astral.project]

[@Gwhisky]

Thanks, will do! 🥃

[@cemtuncel1602]

Another great video, thx Geoff. I thought you'd pick Port Charlotte from Islay at some point.

[@johnmcdonald7339]

If we accept Islands as a region (and I think we should) then Oban and Ardnamurchan have to both be classed as island whiskies for me. Apart the the screamingly obvious issue with that position 😂, both the character and location of those whiskies puts them firmly in the island region with the rest of the actual island whiskies

[@Gwhisky]

Totally agree. Coastal salty maritime. They belong on the islands! 😉

[@Nivekrassan]

Based off what I’ve tried: Highland - Edradour 10 Speyside - Benromach 10 Imperial Proof Lowland - Auchentoshan Three Wood Campbeltown - Glen Scotia 15 Islay - Port Charlotte Islay Barley 2014 Island - Talisker 18

[@ffll8427]

That's a fun challenge! I'd probably be a little different: - Lowlands: Bladnoch 11 - Highlands: Clynelish 14 - Speyside: Benromach Organic - Islay: Octomore X.1 - Islands: Ledaig 10 - Campeltown: Kilkerran 8CS - Irish: Redbreast 12 CS

That Kilkerran Sherry is really something special, absolutely delicious. There's a few left in my area and I'm extremely tempted to go over budget just to have a few on hand for the future.

[@zklein389]

Yeah…but..JEFFREY the Giraffe: NO indeed. Sandend is just so good and still reasonably priced; thanks (I think) for calling attention to it. Laphroaig 16 IS available in the USA; like it muchly as well as their Sherry cask expression. Thought you might go Ledaig for the Islands. Overall, as usual, great/helpful vid.

[@lesliemarshall3764]

Looking along my shelf… Highland: Glen Garioch 12 Speyside: Craigellachie 13 Lowland: Bladnoch 11 Campbeltown: Killkerran 12 Islay: Bunna 12 Island: Ledaig 10

My main library kind of follows the same format but with some cheating Highlands nut: Deanston 12 Lowlands-style delicate floral: Glencadam 10, (and need to find Bladnoch or Kingbarn) Islands-style salt: Ardnamurchan AD, or Highland Park 12, or Rasaay Cambeltown-style funk: Craigellachie 13, or Glen Scotia 15 Islay smoke: Ardbeg 10 Speyside fruit: Glenallachie 12 Irish: Powers 12 (but need to try Teeling pot still) Japanese: Nikka coffey malt Indian: Amrut classic or Kamet classic American: hard toss-up between Westland AO or Balcones lineage Bourbon: Old Forester 1920 Rye: Pikesville 110p

[@Mck16music]

As far as Hazelburn being easier to find than Springbank, I can say my experience has been the opposite here in Scotland. Springbank 10 does pop up now and again (albeit briefly before selling out) and I can get Longrow quite easily, but I've never encountered a bottle of Hazelburn 10 in the wild.

[@Gwhisky]

Odd. It's the opposite in my market, with Hazelburn usually sticking around on shelves longer. Longrow is the easiest to get here, too, though. 🥃

[@88johnbarnes]

Bladnoch went in the completely opposite direction i had hoped. A few years ago i had the 10 year old bottle and it was fantastic. Up there as one of my favorite 10's. Since then they have decided to pump out dozens of non-age statement bottles with completely random prices (none of them good prices either). I cant see myslef buying another bottle, which is a shame.

[@michaelbrindle8516]

Too funny as usual, thank you. Do a lot of folks here find whiskies online? I can find some sporadically in stores but wondered if its just my location and was curious. Guess I should get my backside over to Scotland more.

[@gobingus5504]

great choices although i would pick prot charlotte 10 for islay. Same price for me in the uk and with a higher abv and age statement. Plus with bruichladdich its guaranteed non-chill filtered and natural colour. Still lag 8 a good 2nd

[@Gwhisky]

PC10 makes perfect sense! 🥃

[@muchasgracias6976]

Lol, the piss taking in this video is almost more entertaining than the recommendations!

[@michaelwood3203]

It would be interesting to hear what your view would be on the distinguishing characteristics of whisky from other regions of the whisky-verse and give them their own defined status/classification by reference to the Scottish categories. Example might be that Taiwanese whisky is similar to say xxx which is not unlike say Speyside.

[@michaelseckington1647]

I'm new to your channel. I was actually taking notes here (serious student, serious Scotch drinker). I found your pacing through the regions uneven. But I'll be back.

You did do phil dirty man, good god the buck teeth! Did you edit that pic yourself? I'm just curious. Anywho, I can get Bladnoch 11 for about $65 here in Missouri. I'd say that is an affordable price. I ended up getting it thanks to your review on it, and I gotta say, one of the best bottles I've had. It is about the same price with a lot of entry-level scotch at the stores in my area. I can only find that specific bottle and any other bottles from that brand at one local store chain, though.

[@stephen6685]

I think the consumer needs to protect the industry from itself sometimes . First it was caramel , then chill filtered , now its non age statement. Even if you find one that tastes good it should be boycotted at all costs . Why? Because the industry is run by suits in the city who don't give a stuff about the product . Higher turnover i.e. bigger profits. A product the take 10 years or more before a return is made sells itself.
