Another cracking review Ben, we managed to nip into Glenkinchie this year when we did our grand tour. Of course I had to treat myself to a bottle of the 12 year old. They were selling off the game of thrones whiskies so managed to get a couple of bottles for me and my son. The new visitor centre was very impressive and the guides were all friendly and inviting. We'll worth a visit.

Glenkinchies is the distillery with a scale model right? I've heard its a great distillery to visit but we've never been in/near Edinburgh for long enough to run out of stuff to do and make the journey 😅 We've only done weekend visits and normally had to shoot North straight after. We'll get there someday 👍 Not come across the GK GoT's bottle - is it any good?

[@russcurrie72]

@@WhiskyGeek it has the largest scale model, the walk up to the visitors centre is breathtaking and they have the atmosphere spot on. Each of the four distilleries has a commissioned painting by a Scottish artist called Scott Naismith, they are stunning. Not tried the GOT whiskies yet but will report back when I eventually get round to opening my bottle. Think I got the Cardhu Gold Reserve for my son and the Singleton Glendullan Reserve for me.

Will have to make more of en effort next time I'm in the area 👍

@@WhiskyGeek its well worth the visit, trust me 🥃🥃🥃

I always see this on the shelf and leave it there. Thanks for the review. Bladnoch seems like a significantly better option for a lowlands.

[@WhiskyGeek]

I'm yet to try a Bladnoch, will have to keep an eye out. Cheers Carlos 👍

Hi Ben good review, blimey! don’t remember how many years ago I last had this. Will probably not be buying this anytime soon either. Slàinte Ben

[@WhiskyGeek]

Thanks David, it's another whisky that suffers vs the alternatives at its price point in my opinion. £40 opens a lot of great options to us! 🥃👍

[@TriggaWarning]

Hey Ben 😁 I'm in Edinburgh this August. Which distilleries would you visit? Im thinking about Glenkinchie and Glengoyne. Unfortunately Islay is too long of a trip.

[@WhiskyGeek]

I'm not jealous at all 😉 The Scotch Whisky Experience in Edinburgh is a great experience for more of an overview of Scotch, history & regions. Good tasting bar & food too. I've not been to Glenkinchie myself but have only heard good things. It's probably the easiest to access from Edinburgh. Glenoyne is about 1:30 from Edinburgh - bit of a trek but well worth it. Lindores (1:05) was a great experience for a modern distillery on grounds with loads of history. I quite like the whisky too 😉 Tullibardine (1:07) is about of an unsung hero in my opinion. Good tour finishing in a great tasting room. Deanston (1:01) offers fantastic tours (warehouse tasting is spot on) and has a great cafe too. Edradour (1:25) is on my 'to do' list, looks like it should be great and, thanks to a load of Signatory stock on-site there is a wide range of naturally presented single cask bottlings available Spoilt for choice 🥃👍

@@WhiskyGeek Awesome!!! Thank you for the great insight. You are the best.

I don't remember at all the moment when I subscribed to you, but you are a sweet baby drunk

[@WhiskyGeek]

Haha perhaps you were also drunk? 😉 My camera F-ed up my first attempt so I had to rerecord this video - it was beginning to get to me!

[@TheWhiskeyNerd]

Do you think you'd save a dram or two from some of those nearly empty bottles and put them into an infinity bottle?

[@WhiskyGeek]

I'm yet to start an infinity bottle. Every time I've messed around with blending I've either had to be quite considered & intentional otherwise it's turned out rubbish 😂 I suppose the freedom of an infinity bottle is to not worry about it and just see what happens. 🥃👍

[@TheWhiskeyNerd]

@@WhiskyGeek that's how I've done mine, each whiskey I like, I add a bit. it's quite an eclectic bottle at present, with bourbon, scotch and Irish whiskeys, but it somehow works as an easy sipper
