Your whisky quest rant reached deep into my soul Geoff, like an aboriginal who had never seen a self portrait photo and was convinced their soul had been stolen.

[@speruman]

I felt the same way, and what I saw in the mirror scared me.

[@elduderino3120]

The Hearach bottle looks like 1980s aftershave.

[@Balkonwhisky]

😂but tastes way better. 😋

[@xxacidmv]

Looks like I have some more to add to my want to try list (some of these were already one it)

[@whiskyonthewestcoast]

Geoff, loved the list. Speaking of the Wisers 42, I tried it pre-release in January at tasting led by Dr. Don Livermore. While it is good it wasn't the best whisky I had in the tasting. That honour goes to an amazing Wisers Carpathian Oak that may get released in the future. All this to say I won't be spending the $450+ for the Wisers 42 year. You might love it though, not here to dissuade you, just to share my experience with it. Cheers buddy 🥃

[@LeonScheppink]

Meh... lists like this are costing me cheddar.

[@eviltrain24]

From Glenmorangie, the bottle I’m interested in is the replacement for the Nectar D’Or, which will be simply called, “The Nectar” but with a 16 year age statement. I tried the Glenmorangie sample pack awhile back and the Nectar D’Or was my favorite followed fairly closely by the Quinta Ruban. But honestly, I’ve pretty much run out of budget for this year and right now, I’m trying NOT to think about what bottle I’d like to try next.

[@Gwhisky]

The 16 Glenmo is good stuff. A review is coming down the pipeline! 🥃

[@BadgerJeff]

42 year old Canadian that is over 50% alcohol? Are you describing your aspiring future self?

[@johngilbert5981]

Just tried the Hearach the other day nose was wonderful. Palate was not bad but very underwhelming compared to what i expected from nose. Interested to hear others opinions

[@Koby616]

I just order lagg Kilmory so my list is completed 😅 well I Wana try loch lomand and ancnoc too. P.S can i touch glencadam 25 bottle? Looks amazing 🤩

[@peathead4450]

Interesting list, Geoff. As I've more than enough (... er... not possible. Just enough.... for now) samples, I'm not really into expanding that bunch the first couple of months ... 🤔... weeks. Yep, couple of weeks. Slàinte mhath

[@thenavajoknow]

Bunna 21CS is going to be upward of €500, no? I am keen on many things, including The Hearach from yr list Ardnahoe Inaugural Release A vintage Ballantines 17 yr old Kilchoman 16 yr old (not gonna happen) a bunch of Old Particulars I can't even afford one of A SMWS Clynelish that isn't sold out within 10 seconds of release.

[@welshtoro3256]

Yep, the price of that Bunna will be absolutely stupid. Ardnahoe is a go.

[@fefe2044]

Bunnah 21!! I will be on the prowl for this one for sure. Really good news. Interested in the Bruichladdich too

[@welshtoro3256]

Double digit valuation and a complete rip-off price.

[@davidcraig8367]

Add Port Charlotte 18 to your list. Whisky Lock doesn’t like it but it’s a reasonable price in the US for a high ABV 18 year Islay at $190. It’s a banger. Would really like to hear your review of it.

[@Gwhisky]

This is a follow up list to a previous video. PC18 was no. 1 on that list. I would love to try it. Sadly it's not around in my market. 🥃

[@vladezxx]

Hey Geoff, coincidental that I was about to drop a comment asking if you could review Laddie Sherry. Saw it at the Singapore airport previously going for around 100 SGD. hopefully you can get a bottle of that soon!

[@ps3inquisition441]

I just the other day tried the new Cairdeas, and yeah it’s good. Especially if you like PX. It’s very PX.

[@davidlavin3492]

The Laphroaig is excellent. I like it more than 2023, but that’s subjective

[@j.g.6601]

Great list. I'll have to keep an eye out for the new travel retail laddie. Just picked up a bottle earlier this week in Japan that had been on my list - Fuji Gotemba Single Malt (46%).

[@michaelwood3203]

Here are some 'Gotta Try' NAS blends for you to review and rate for us (if times get hard). Famous Grouse Finest £15 Bells Original £19 Whyte & Mackay £21.50 Johnnie Walker Red Label £20 Ballantines Finest £17.50 Scottish Leader Signature £17.17 The Woodsman £16.99 Black Bottle £16.00 Shackleton Blended £20 The Naked Malt £24 Total cost £171.16 (average £17.12p). For a whisky journey starting from the basement!

[@kbtan2373]

How about trying the Macallan 12 years Gran Reserva which is available in Taiwan.If you have a deep pocket, you can try the Macallan 18 years Gran Reserva.

[@dfrever216]

Geoff, I think it is very important that you know that every time you say the channel name in the intro I hear "Jew Whisky". After that, my mind shuts down to you saying your name as I am too busy imagining you wearing a Hat and building a barn (because my brain overlaps jewish and amish hats and thus you already cross-overed to barn-raising). Speaking of hats, you should do these reviews wearing a Top hat. It is on the channel logo after all. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT! Btw, If a viewer wants to mail you a whisky for a review, do you have a publicly available PO box/address? I did not find anything in the channel description.

[@WhiskyWolf514]

Great list Geoff, It's always fun to fantasize and wonder about the bottles we wish to try! I am absolutely on board with trying the Bruchlady Sherry finish, The HIERARCH first release and the Ardnamurchan Midget! Unfortunately probably most of these out of my reach as well and to whine even more - it s**ks to be an Ardnamurchan fan outside of the UK 😅😂 Either way, great stuff once again my friend! Enjoy your weekend 🥃🥃

[@Gwhisky]

Hah I feel your pain buddy. Plenty of stuff on this list is absolutely nowhere to be found in my market. I don't think there are any kinds of problems worse than first world problems. Life sucks. 😉🥃

[@WhiskyWolf514]

@@Gwhisky It totally does right?😂🥃

[@ironmantran]

Wad up , boss G ! . . . The (Ontario price) 470.00 $CA Wiser-42 yo 52% is quite different from Wiser-35y 50%, much, MUCH more concentrated. Wiser 42 is 1 of TRIO of "Decades" series = this is for 1980s, while the 28yo cask strength (wine finish ?) for 1990s is available in the Fall-october 2024, and for 2025 (next yr) year-2000-millenium a 24yo cask strength (?finish) WISER.

[@Gwhisky]

Ah that's great to know. Sounds like a hell of a trio. So far the CS Wiser's releases are some of the finest non-single malt whiskies I've ever had, so I'm really looking forward to at least sampling them, if possible. Cheers! 🥃

[@Rohit_M]

There is a Gwhisky that just put out 10 more to try listy, some look tasty others seem price risky. All in all a great list Geoff. Fyi, Wiser's 42 is going for $470 in Ontario.

[@user-su9tn1wo2m]

...nice list😊. The Glenmorangie Signet, I can't get my head or tastebuds around it, frankly it dissapointed me. Paid 153£ and therefore expected a lot, also due to the hype it got. So an expectedly even more expensive "Reserve" edition will be a pass for me. I do otherwise tend to agree with many of your reviews and recommendations😊

[@agrainofmalt]

The new Longmorn releases are stupidly priced. As soon as I saw their Instagram posting and how they've targeted their marketing I knew it was now out of my price range... also one of my faves 😪

[@jeremytheoneofdestiny8691]

What I want to get this year is at least ONE 18 year or older single malt. They are getting so pricey and even hard to locate in my area. If I do well financially this year, it will be my reward. Also what is “batch strength” as opposed to cask strength? 6:30

[@koski1885]

The Hearach batches are listed on a small label that goes over the cork 👍🏼

[@Gwhisky]

Great to know. Thank you! 🥃

[@shaddepadde]

Gah, you beat me to it :P

[@_fwd_racecar_]

anyone here heard of Macray single malt that has sherry and port finishes also, that i can't find any info on? -- not to be confused with McCray that's apparently a nasty grain blend

[@Sir_Baddington]

Bunnahabhain is currently my favorite brand

[@WhoeverNevermind]

Guess: Benromach 21 Fck

[@williambyington4864]

Every time I find a bottle I think might be the one, it goes off the market around here.

[@welshtoro3256]

Great video as always. Man, whisky is so personal. I'm not interested in any of your list. Independent bottles, stuff by Benromach (especially store exclusives), Laphraoig 10 CS and oddball stuff worth the money. Stuff like that Longmorn is just Fk..g joke. Love the introduction/summery describing our hobby. Perfect 🤑

[@BehnamBehrouzi-ui6um]

Much better choices compare to previous 7

[@SimonneNZ]

There are too many on my list but have just bought Talisker Wilder Seas so at least Talisker is off my list now. Haven't opened it yet though as I need to finish some other bottles to make room in my cabinet. Cheers!

[@hilary544]

Great list, Geoff! I would travel for the sole reason to try the Laddie Sherry! The Kilchoman Batch is great (and they're selling a t-shirt to go with it in the same green!). You and I have the same batch of adoring friends, I think. 🥺

[@hansvaneenennaam457]

Impressive list, Geoff. To continue the trend of deliciousness..... You might be looking forward to taste them all, but we are looking forward to all the great tasting video's you will be releasing on them. I am especially curious the Bunnahabhain and the Kilchoman

[@Brad-ic4bp]

First time I guessed your mystery pour (if only because it's the only "Highlands" scotch that comes to mind when I hear that region).

[@wallace-bv4rl]

I tried a 21 year old cask strength Bunna last night. I think that what it was. A 400£ bottle but bought a dram at cost. Was fantastic, unfortunately my memory is not great about details 😂😂

[@fresheFresse]

The Hearach Batches are on the Packaging, but only on the band above cork

[@rupertansell4662]

Just ordered a bottle of the Tobermory 10 year old 2011 virgin oak cask finish. Reduced from £90 to £75 in a flash sale. Super excited to try this one

[@Gwhisky]

Sounds interesting. Haven't heard of that one. Enjoy! 🥃

[@rupertansell4662]

It’s a distillery exclusive, one of only 966 bottles. I hope it’s a good’un!

[@umami0247]

No sip?? Really. Wow..

[@agrainofmalt]

Bunnahabhain 21 CS!! 🤯🤤

[@thewhiskyenthusiast]

The sherried Laddie is found in the airports with Heinemann duty free stores, don't know of any others who carry it. I didn't enjoy the Glen Scotia for some reason but really liked the Hearach. I bought the Midgie but have not tried it yet, really looking forward to it. Ah man a new Signet!!! This is very exciting news, let's see 😃 Happy hunting Geoff 🥃

[@Gwhisky]

Thanks Sertug. I'll do my best! Hoping to get a review of the Hearach and the Midgie from you, buddy! 🥃

[@darlsbarkley3493]

The bruichladdich is pretty easy to find at auction.

[@lightplays2181]

Nice choice mr.Geoff ) Cheers !

[@themagicmanny9429]

Great Video. Try an Australian whisky called “Amber Lane - Silk Road”. Highly recommended!

[@rabalucard]

The GS festival bottle is pretty cool! The fino finish is well executed , but a bit too young and disjointed.

[@Gwhisky]

Sounds interesting! Can't tell if you're recommending it or not. 😂😉

[@rabalucard]

I don’t know either 😂. Let’s go with yes 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@thisiswes666]

You have to check out the Traditional and Single Malt from Spring Mill Distillery in Guelph, ON. Both are very impressive Canadian Bourbon/Scotch expressions respectively.

[@jackthepickledhound]

Being that I'm broke and can't pay my student loans I'm definitely buying that Cairdeas the moment I see it and I think that Longmorn is the perfect way to sample the distillery character for the first time . The Kilchoman will certainly be within the budget... actually Kilchoman prices are crazy so we'll see. I never miss a GlenScotia release. So yeah... Broke and I have enough whisky for the next four livers. But y'know, FOMO

[@murgh]

Damn fine writing on that depressing soliloquy. Thanks for quickly returning to the happy subject of whisky, I share some of these (less expensive) desires, but so far only the Glen Scotia fino seems certain to arrive to me.

[@lesterlau]

Love these videos @Gwhisky! More unicorns to chase down this year. :) I'll be heading to Canada soon, so maybe I can find that Wisers! Side note, I finally guessed the Mystery Pour correctly. Yay me! :D

[@EuropaWill]

Endless flavor chasing seeking the holy Grail of whisky that doesn't actually exist. So true. I figured this out last year (that there is no holy Grail of whisky and if it exists, it's not worth paying endless amounts of money in search of finding) and now I enjoy my collection of favorites I've discovered over the past 10 years or so and I no longer feel the need to constantly search. It's truly liberating.

[@christinecamley]

Terrific choices Geoff! The Wiser's is lovely! 🙂

[@henrieliot]

The Hearach Batch 2 was nice. Batch # is a sticker on cork top.

[@laurentsteck6086]

Thank you for making me aware of this 18 year Longmorn CS! I did not know about it. It's also my favorite distillery. While ordering one, I saw that there was a 22 Yo as well. Thus I ordered both in the UK. Can't wait to get my hands on them. Cheers

[@Gwhisky]

Well I'm incredibly jealous. I clearly need to move to Switzerland. 😉 Enjoy, buddy! 🥃

[@laurentsteck6086]

Don't do that! It's one of the most expensive market for buying whisky. It's cheaper to order in the UK and to pay the shipping than to order directly from the Swiss sellers (in average). Although we are lucky we only have 8.1 VAT. Thus we save the 20% of VAT in the UK (and other European country). And the Swiss salary is above average of a lot of countries. And of course I would be more than happy to share some of my whiskies with you if you'd move here ;-) Merci beaucoup! Cheers

[@Gwhisky]

Hah alright. New plan: find a Swiss girl. Marry her. Get the passport. Get hired there in a job that allows remote work. Move back to Taiwan. Boom. Salaire Suisse avec des prix Taiwanais. It's bulletproof. 😉

[@laurentsteck6086]

Sounds like an excellent plan! I'm currently fully remote in my job. I should consider to do that 😋.

[@Brad-ic4bp]

Glad to hear about the Bunnahabhain 21 cask strength, but assuming a really high price, I'm sorry to hear the 12-year cask strength is being cancelled.
