Port Charlotte never let me down.😅

[@danhammer106]

Imagine a bere barley version of Highland Park made from the orkney farms grain. 8-ish years old, 50% abv, no colour, no stupid viking larp packaging. Keep under 80 bucks and people are going to storm the retailers. Or a local barley Clynelish - but Diageo would slap a price on that that's best expressed in kidneys.

[@MrChristopherMolloy]

God, do I love Port Charlotte 😍

[@risknerd1772]

Amen!

[@cliffbagsby]

Ditto!!

[@elduderino3120]

I prefer the 10. Amazing drink.

[@buffdogg]

Ralphy. Appreciate your reviews and your contribution to this wonderful whiskey community. Also, I'm fortunate to have both of these bottles. Easily in my top 10. Exquisitely crafted Scotch.

[@andypike1234]

Waw, I just saw Ralfy drinking water! 😂

[@hordeum-vulgare]

Just look at the Scotch mist on that dram of Islay Barley!

[@redfish7081]

All I kept thinking about was Macallan.... Overpriced and much better out there for much cheaper. It is a brand first and a scotch second.

[@chentim1751]

M is a hype, not for serious whisky enthusiasts

[@robfut9954]

Disappointing isn’t it? Such heritage put to waste over money

[@chentim1751]

@@robfut9954 it is all money !!!

[@Soldano999]

Macallan is basically Aberlour Abdunah with a fancy social status marketing. But i don't think it's going to last it's basically a boomer brand no one i know cares about it.

[@redfish7081]

@@Soldano999 That is Aberlour that I enjoy. It's cask strength. Yes. It's a non-age statement, but I find it very enjoyable. The standard 12 and 16 however @ 40%, hard pass.

[@Edward135i]

Ralfy I used to watch you when I was in college back in 2009 I decided to see if your still making content, so glad to see that your still around, Amazing how time has Time has flown by.

[@ShaunCauser]

Love the passion for the product in this local barley review, Ralfy. Hope it has fired the engine that the industry is in good hands. Love to see it!

[@yusufsayed1583]

Good Evening 😊 Awesome review👌🏽 Thanks for the comparison Mate 👏🏼👏🏼 Greetings and Cheers 🍻 From South Africa 🇿🇦

[@brian6x]

Just imagine the local barley whisky aged 3 more years!

[@michaelbrown3037]

Preach it, Ralfy! Great content and thanks for leading me to search for and appreciate integrity malts.

[@janhemony8630]

Thanks for your great video !! ,its was a wake up call for me.

[@thomasmclennon4746]

I'd love to know more about the barley - their varietal names - used by distillers, as well as where it's grown. When you know, that is.

[@BDCF100]

Tourists dip a Biscotti into an Expresso but an Italian dip theirs into a nice red wine.

[@debugS4]

Congrats on the SB20 1000 Reviews Celebratory Bottle auction -- brought a tidy sum for a good SB local cause. I trust the Bon Accord sales provided well for the foodbank. You and your cohorts are doing good works.

[@christophermorkel.1955]

Great comparison video

[@sandrofazzolari8833]

Excellent biscotti 🍪 to dip in your cappuccino in the morning or vinsanto after a meal. Maybe I will try dipping one in my PC Local Barley 😮! Many thanks dear Ralfy , kindest regards, S.

[@stevedemarsico924]

I had just purchased the 2013 Islay Barley and it is also magnificent.

[@Soldano999]

That's the one i received as well. Makes me wonder how it compares to the 2014w

[@sundowner62james69]

Really learning watching you ! Keep up the great work Ralfy .

[@utoobia]

That Islay Barley looks like Ardbeg 10 with that slight greenish tint.

[@scottyblog]

Do this with Bere Barely. The recent release and say…one that was put in the barrel in 2009 or 2010. I’d be interested in the comparison. (The newer release is slightly older).

[@TheDramDiaries]

Hey Ralfy, I’ve been enjoying your reviews for around 10 years now. Bruichladdich is one of my top distilleries, and Port Charlotte 10 is one of my favorite single malts. I’ve been hesitating on pulling the trigger on the PC Islay Barley, but I think you’ve convinced me to try it. Thank you for always putting out great content and for being straightforward. Finally subscribed

[@cedricrobert9833]

Ralfy, you are a free man, it's a luxury, it's insolent and I love it !

[@gtrlover3983]

Fantastic review Ralfy!

[@uiscebeatha19]

Local barley, 50 percent ABV, abundance of info reference growing - sounds like what I also like about Waterford Whiskey

[@Soldano999]

Waterford is excellent i agree. I had some at a whisky event at my local wine store and was impressed.

[@alyamaut]

Muchas gracias por la información, Top notch Ralfy 🤘

[@Soldano999]

I bought my first PC10 about 5 years ago. At the time the bottle was transparent. It was the best whisky i ever had. I paid 60€ for it which was really crazy to me. Since then i've been buying dozens of much more expensive bottles. But very few can compare and none can surpass PC. It's the top of the line, period.

[@robfut9954]

Eh, we like seeing reviews of cheapo mainstream malts too… it gives us a reference point to where those compare in your pallet to the integrity stuff. A mix of everything is nice

[@Soldano999]

There's cheapo and there's crap-o. Speyburn 12 is a decent dram. Label 5, clan campbell and J&B are a whole different category. Even the stores know it and put them on a separate shelf.

[@robfut9954]

@@Soldano999 haven’t tried Speyburn 12 in a VERY long time… may have to come back to it. I like to buy three cheap bottles to every expensive some these days to stretch the malt budget

[@robfut9954]

@@Soldano999 also, I’m not against a blend every now and again. I like to blend them with my malts to try to make a better version. Recently I tried Old Parr 12, and while it’s nothing Ralfy would rate above 80 *these days* I find it to blend well with almost any malt and it cost under $30.

[@guyharrald2567]

Recently finished a bottle of PC 10yr. Lovely. Would really love to see Ralphy do a review of the hyper marketed Singleton. I suspect they're the distillery he alludes to.

[@joan_b.]

Hey Ralfy, inutile d'en faire des tonnes... Dis juste que c'est une tuerie ! Port Charlotte est toujours exceptionnel comparé aux autres peated single malt islays. Dont' you think so? 😉 I love your vids. You're the best! 😍 Slàinte! 🥃

[@rowlandcrew]

I think I will go and try a bottle. What happened to Clives easy button?

[@waldeniv]

Am I crazy or did I miss review 1023?

[@penguinland666]

Try PC PMC pomerol cask next, you will not regret it.

[@jakubhaska3707]

What do you think about Compass Box? John Glaser is leaving the firm after 23 years of work. Is it good or bad for Compass Box future? Please give a comment.

[@senghowechuah4957]

I had been stop for awhile due to some personal reasons and now i am back. But i realized starting from tbis review Ralfy is changing his nosing glass, may i know why?

[@whiskycatacat]

Good evening Ralfy, I recently discovered your channel. I would like to ask you a question: Taking into account your extensive experience, do you think that in the learning process it is important to take "garbage" to later appreciate good whiskeys? ?

[@paolaevangelista3855]

Please review Trader Joe’s Kentucky Bourbon straight whiskey, please 🙏

[@bradl2636]

What nosing glasses are you using today?

[@peatbull3426]

Copitas 😎🥂🥂🙋🏻‍♂️

[@joan_b.]

World changes Ralfy... You know that, don't you? Bruicladdich Classic Laddie is sold in supermarkets in France all year long including in discount stores such as Lidl during whisky fares at a discounted price around 40E. Wtf! 🤔

[@rgomez6660]

Ralfy, guys, sorry to interrupt. Looking for some thoughts, need a dram to share as we say goodbye to a Kirkcaldy man. A good man. I'm not so mindful as cost, but aware that not all are whisky drinkers. I'm leading the procession. I'd like to say thank you to the pallbearers, the piper, to everyone that plays their part. Crap question, sorry, but thoughts??

[@simonray2155]

As he was a Fifer I would suggest Lindores Abbey. Perhaps the Friar John Cor.

[@miserablerhurensohn]

Glad I had an open PC10 to follow along with.
