Brilliant little list there! That Tamdhu 15 was just delightful, so much so it was quickly bought and added to a growing collection of sherried bottles. There's a very obvious jump between the 12 and 15 there, the former being just a wee bit lighter and easily drinkable and the latter aging into a rich, delectable concoction of most of the same flavors but with a more refined balance. Just brilliant! Penderyn Portwood and Bimber Re-Charred SC were really really good drams as well. Just gotta try that Arran QC at some point and see what the fuss is about :)

Good to hear you again, and a solid line up. Only had a few, but these all look fantastic!

[@MaltActivist]

Thanks Neighbor!

Never thought I’d ever hear about a whiskey tasting club in Saudi Arabia. Very cool.

[@MaltActivist]

haha its not in Saudi Arabia

[@Gwhisky]

Some cool picks! I'll be on the lookout for the Loch Lomond 14 and the Bimber.

[@MaltActivist]

Good call!

[@Hexagonal_Crank]

Agree on the Arran quarter cask. Arran 10 was extremely hard to come by for the longest while here but I was able to pick up a couple of bottles of The Bothy and was really impressed.

[@MaltActivist]

Super dram right?

[@WhiskeyStraightAl]

Loving that line-up. Great to see you back and yes, we love you😎 Cheers.

[@MaltActivist]

Thank you, sir! You just made my day.

[@LoyPinheiro]

Fantastic line-up! Stocked up on that Tamdhu 15 for the holiday season, a very quintessential sherry bottling. 👌🏽

[@MaltActivist]

gotta agree with that

[@jackdeedman5344]

discovered you the other day. Watching old vids. I'm pleased. Keep to this. Expensive whisky is great but when you get to £200 a bottle...its nice to know that its great but not an option for most of us. Honest tasting notes and a serious love of the malt. I will be watching the old vids and ringing the bell for future info. I am on a budget and you are a godsend. Thankyou. Keep keeping it real !

[@MaltActivist]

Thank you for your kind words. Good to have you onboard!

[@ericcunliffe4112]

Haha this was a great video as always and an excellent list. I was literally hovering over the Loch Lomond 14 so thank you. The Tamdhu is a lovely soft sherry bomb. Almost a gentle Dronach. Cheers. And yes I love you.

[@MaltActivist]

Love you too, brother! Spread the love.

Bimber is a polish distillery from London. Bimber means Moonshine in polish language.

[@MaltActivist]

Really? I had no idea. Thanks for the info, mate.

[@rollingpuck]

I've had the Arran and the Tamdhu. Both solid malts. Will make an effort to try the rest on the for our next club tasting. Like your content. Slainte!

[@MaltActivist]

Thank you Craig! Appreciate it. Let me know when your club tastes them.

[@welshtoro3256]

Here's one I know is right up your street. The Benromach Cask Strength Batch 4. This is the closest from the batch statements to the 10 year it replaced and it's bottled at pretty much identical strength. I'm enjoying the Bimber ex-bourbon. I'm loving the Bruichladdich (Orkney) Bere Barley from 2010 so much that I have no doubt that the latest one will be a winner. Cheers

[@MaltActivist]

oooh Orkney Bere Barley..... sounds tasty.

[@krishnar3493]

Thought you given up on drinking, MA. Looks like you had excellent picks there. Sure will try to pick a few of those. Btw drinking Tamdhu ✌️

[@MaltActivist]

Hi Krishna. Cold day in June when that happens. I have a new found respect for Tamdhu of late. Picked up a couple of single casks as well - quite tasty.

[@macieknovak4744]

Big fan of Bimber ❤️ I recommend you try their new make … quality starts right there ;-)

[@MaltActivist]

Thanks for the tip! Will definitely check it out.

[@WhiskeyQuests]

There’s something about this video that makes me want to drink whisky 🤔 😆 cheers buddy of course we noticed you were gone. 👍🥃

[@MaltActivist]

How's it going my brother!!!!

[@WhiskeyQuests]

@@MaltActivist not too bad. Just getting ready for Christmas 😂

[@ravishankarbhatt5090]

Nice Line up and need to try the Non Scotches cheers

[@MaltActivist]

Cheers. Thanks for stopping by.

[@sanjeevarora7909]

Great list... I loved the Tamdhu... could you have one more list at the end of the year as well... cheers... stay blessed

[@MaltActivist]

Thank you, sir! And yes I will

[@Jeff.Ruhnke]

adding the Arran and Tamdhu to my buy list. My standout of the year so far has been the Killkeran 12, have you had it?

[@MaltActivist]

Love the Kilkerran 12 !
