My top 5 (I wrote this before watching your video!). 1. Bladnoch 11 2. The Glen Scotias. 3. Loch Lomond 12 4. Compass Box Peat Monster 5. Paul John Brilliance. In Australia the Loch Lomonds and Glen Scotias are exclusive to the Coles owned liquor stores so almost literally only about 50% widely released.

My top 5 whiskys of any type are:

I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos; not only for the content but also because I find the editing and presentation classy, yet funny and easy to enjoy. Thanks!

[@alexanderfachler1201]

Great video, thanks phil! Edradour is still an overlooked distillery. Their annual signatory 10 release remains my favourite whiskey of all time!

[@richardc1945]

Loch Lomond is an affordable daily drinker that is not boring.

[@johnvuela1211]

Thank you for the video. Sadly Affordable Single Malt has become an oxymoron. Examples everywhere. I.e. Laphroaig Quarter Cask was 23€ in my country in 2019. Now is 51. Thoroughly enjoying your videos, very didactic.

[@mathijsbreedveld4934]

Sold a lot of Aultmore 12 while I worked in a whisky store last year. Kept recommending it because I liked it so much myself. Stellar picks, definitely going to try some.

[@craigroberts5965]

Beautiful video as always, Phil. Thank you

[@sandrofazzolari8833]

Happy to say I been enjoying two of these for years. Excellent list Phil. Thanks 🙏 as always for fine videos and honest feedback. Ciao 👋 cheers 🥃S.

Hi Phil! Just wanted to give credit where credit is due. As someone who has been drinking whisky more than 20 years (I feel old saying that) and really getting in to it for maybe 15 years, know a lot already. But there is always more to learn, maybe something I didn't know or forgot😂 Not to mention how many distilleries and whiskies there are to taste and buy. So I started watching videos to learn more. And I must say your videos have never disappointed. Less nonsense, more to the point. Great delivery, nice editing and perhaps most importantly you let your passion and personality show. And that is why watch them even if it is on a subject I think I know. I wanna see what you think. I feel like I could sit with you on some comfy leather arm chairs, sipping and talking whisky. Keep it up! Slainte!

Great video, Phil. I agree on AnCnoc 18 and in fact also the 24 is an amazing value. I Think the Loch Lomond 12 and Speyburn 15 are staples in my cabinet-- a great daily drinkers at a good price. I don't find Tormore in the USA and have yet to try the Longmorn 16, but that is my big take away and on my shopping list. I think Ledaig 10 would make my under-rated list and Kilchoman's Loch Gorm is so rarely discussed but is one of my very favorites.

[@Rohit_M]

Great take on underrated gems Phil. I went through a bottle of Toremore 14 some 3-4 years ago. It was truly enjoyable. I can only imagine 16 having additional flavor nuances. Good stuff.

[@McIntyresMalts]

Dope list, lots of good stuff on here

[@thewhiskyenthusiast]

Solid list Phil, can't fault any of them. I haven't tried the Tormore but I am on the look out now! I would say Glencadam is as a distillery quite underrated, Ballechin 10 or any other expression would also fit in the list in my opinion. Cheers Phil!

[@ryanmercer600]

Great video, I can feel your enthusiasm

[@jasonwillie9589]

One that a lot of my customers are hesitant about but grow to love is the Old Pulteney 12 year. Great mixture of light flavor and sea salt mixed with pepper, along with fruity notes. Eastern Washington, USA at about $55.99. Great deal, cool pristine white box.

[@ganesankpillay3768]

Fun to watch. And informative. Cheers 😊

[@MrChristopherMolloy]

I'll add my list just for the heck of it and in no particular order:

[@RebeccaEdwardsJamesEdwards]

You picked my favorite underrated Scotch with Loch Lomond. I like that it's a Highland Scotch with some more earthy tastes to it. It's smooth & very enjoyable.
