In this review I share my thoughts on another 15 empties before casting them off to recycling while struggling to pull out dry corks and saying "fantastic" far too many times. This year I think I'll ask Santa for some core strength and a vocabulary.
This video is intended for viewers over the age of 18 (or the legal age of alcohol consumption in your region).

As always, I reserve the right to change my mind about any of these whiskies, tomorrow. So should you.

[@McIntyresMalts]

Purring like whisky filled kittens! Great descriptor Roy.

[@NoNonsenseWhisky]

It's always a bright day when a recycled review pops up in the subscription feed

[@thomasbuck303]

Amen.

[@sherrymaltdrams9183]

Is it sad that I get really excited to see it pop up on my phone!

[@TYCHO2003]

A bright day it is indeed.

[@ryanmccleave3562]

I love nothing more than going back through old recycled review videos. This video, number 6, is the one that hit my wallet the hardest :D

[@MarcAmAlb]

Everytime I watch Roy talk about a whisky he’s really enjoyed, I’m sold. He can really express his enthusiasm and inform at the same time.

[@alyamaut]

Top notch information,muchasGracias Roy🤘🏽

[@jasonf2252]

This format should be trademarked, celebrated and done as often as a healthy liver will allow! Well done. This is worthy of patreon support alone.

[@chrissneller2340]

Your empty bottle review is your USP and always a great watch. Just wish there was more of them!

[@geofre44]

My favorite whisky review on KZbin- Recycled Review is 🔥

[@graemeyoung6142]

Indeed these recycled videos are just Fantastic. Always right to the point Roy and so far never lead us astray!!Thanks

[@DonnerPassWhisky]

Just found the G&M Balblair 21 online, getting delivered tomorrow will be hard not to open this right away ! Have had the Balblair 99 (17yr) which is amazing and this was the same price so very happy. Also form a different online shop found Deanston 18 for $60 which is ridiculously low so got two of those ! Life is good

[@kaney1967]

These are by far the best whisky videos on KZbin. ‘Would I buy this again?’ That’s the real question when it comes to whisky. Bravo!

[@alyr9640]

Oh. And this video makes me purr like a whisky filled kitten!

[@sashidemedia]

How many months/years does it take you to go thru the batch of what we see here ?

[@franklampard6316]

I love the Deanston Virgin Oak. A good dram at a great price point. I foolishly made the mistake of letting all of my whisky club members know about it, and they emptied the shelves at the local stores. Keep the reviews coming, Roy!

[@IamQuh]

I always enjoy these. And yeah Deanston is 46.3 not 43.6 :) Just got a bottle of it last week but haven't really gotten into it yet. First impressions are positive though.

[@First-fill]

Hi Rob....delighted to see you enjoyed the Arran 14, and the Deanston. Ive collected many Deanston and Arran bottlings. They are fantastic and always worth replacing. My 14 ended a day ago and Ive already replaced it. Encourage NO E150. 👍🥃...by the way, the Glendronach 18 is a magnificent sherry bomb. Good call.

[@mmanente]

I’ve watched a lot of your video and have enjoyed them greatly but I’ve never commented but I felt the need to now because I feel the same exact way about the Talisker 10. You literally took the words out of my mouth. I bought it because of the great things I hear and it is a great expression but find myself going back to it to try and find that something special but it hasn’t come yet. Keep up the great work. Videos are great, the editing, the music, and the way you talk about it with passion. Very enjoyable. Slàinte 🥃

[@Aqvavitae]

Good to have you watching, don’t write off Talisker based in the 10!

[@mmanente]

Aqvavitae I definitely won’t. I’m being patient with it

[@birddog2017]

Hey, Roy, I agree with the idea of letting the air mix with the whiskey over a period of time. Each following dram has a unique taste. Only had one bottle ever get funky. That was a bottle of 10 year Eagle Rare that at a quarter left turned sour. I just treated it as the older brother who just got testy as he aged. Eventually finished it.

[@Twotonsandwich]

This video makes me purr like a whisky-filled kitten... thanks for the reviews, Roy! I just got a few samples of a independently bottled stuff, including a 17 year old Dailuaine from Signatory. Excited to try it out since I’ve heard such good things about Dailuaine (and I think John Glaser uses it a lot for Compass Box in various ways). Skål from Minnesota!

[@Kiltedmoose1]

Roy, thanks so much for dedicating the video to me. Dunno how I deserved that, but thank you! Looking forward to sharing more drams with you soon. Cheers, my friend.

[@paulgibbs3624]

Great review as always Roy. I've an Indy of Dailuaine open at the moment. Signatory, 46% at 20 years old. Beautifully chewy and rich.

[@paulgibbs3624]

Oh, mistake 6 minutes in chap. We forgive you.

[@thelosthighlander3373]

Aye, I am drinking the same at the moment, and I am enjoying it ... every sip .. .every dram... one of the best for me!

[@vicwhisky7413]

Keep bring this up Roy! Really enjoy your recycle videos! Went out try to buy most bottles you gave good marks! Can’t agree more after i tried them. Thanks!

[@WineLightMedia]

Thanks again for recommending Kilkerran 12. I purchased it yesterday. It’s super delicious. Reminds me a bit of Oban Little Bay. Cheers.

[@andrewwade8464]

Love this format and am sipping a Deanston 12 while watching. Once I got past the neck I am really enjoying with a wee drop of water. Very nice indeed. Was beginning to think I was growing toward peated whiskys over sherryed but am changing to enjoy them all for their qualities to suit your mood and D12 is right in the middle of my experience so far. Thanks for bringing it to our attention and hence on my shelf👍🇳🇿

[@postageg]

Argh...since finding your channel a wee bit ago - I've "had to" buy Clynelish 14 and Kilkerran....and now I've just picked up the Aberlour Abundah....and if I can find a Glendronach 18......... Enjoy these recycling episodes greatly...keep 'em coming.

[@ConcaCon]

With the recent Glendronach decision, the "get it while you can" seems prophetic...

[@criell-sdkwhisky8674]

Thanks Roy, these recycle vids are excellent all of them. Also I agree with almost every thought you have about the bottles except maybe bunna 12, i would give it 9/10 :) ..and Talisker has never convinced me either, though Ive never tryed the older stuff.

[@zachandrews6633]

Such a great whisky video as always Roy!!!! I actually found the Glendronach 18 yesterday. I will have to pick up a bottle soon!

[@gareththomas2510]

I'd never even considered the Arran before watching this...it'll have to be my next purchase now. Love these reviews- opinions I feel I can trust.

[@LSfan22]

I love this series! Much easier than sitting through a 20-30 minute review of each individual whisky. Great stuff Roy

[@coreymartin-bigpoppa1377]

Great reviews Roy!!! I love your honesty about the Talisker 10. I love the briny, sweet smoky whisky. Isn’t that that great thing about the whisky journey? Everyone has slightly different paths. Slainte my friend.

[@danh.5825]

Yes, review 6! And my goodness, the extra work you put for the fellow whisky geeks is admirable. Thank you. I keep meaning to try the Glenfarclas 21 but I can still get Old pulteney 21 for 10 dollars more.

[@TextieruL]

10 dollars? Glenfarclas 21 YO is 70 euro and Old Pulteney 21 YO is 300 euro ( if you can still find it). Where is this store? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Finally getting around to finish this. Nice selection of bottles Roy. Well done as always. Cheers.

[@jan-paulvanderhoeven1639]

Thanks for the links and the spreadsheet Roy! And my bottles of Kilkerran 12 always go down faster than I want to...

[@mathieudube7595]

Awesome stuff Roy! Your recycled reviews are pretty much my favorite youtube whisky videos and are a great source of inspiration when deciding what to try next. Keep ‘em coming!

[@themaltcask]

Great stuff Roy! Can’t believe I’ve still not had anything from either Deanston or Arran! Fully agree with you on the Bunna 12. The newer bottles taste younger than the previous ones...

[@kennethkennelty7652]

Always brings a smile .

[@vegasart1]

Wow Roy!!! Not only a great review but the spreadsheet and links to the other whiskytubers reviews is awesomely useful. Thanks so much for the incredible amount of extra effort you put in! Superb!

[@Dicko125]

Love these videos Roy. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work

[@trennyandcwhisky]

Another great video Roy, couldn't agree more with your Kilkerran comments specifically! Well done!

[@jonasnaeyaert3738]

Tried the Aberlour 12 non-chill filtered, yet? Stunning stuff at 48% ABV. If you’re looking the up the regular 12 double cask... this is the stuff. Only 2 euro’s more on the continent.

[@0eMeF0]

Your recycled reviews are probably my favourite review videos on youtube. Great as usual and I just ordered Glendronach 18 as soon as I finished watching :)

[@robertwalker4100]

Talisker 10 Tried on new years eve my partner has fallen in love with this whisky, I love it as well, but we are new to drinking whisky, she got an arran gold for Xmas which is also one of the best cream whiskys we have had

[@acastle5]

Love these recycled reviews my friend, please do continue them.

[@pcnau92]

Love me some recycled reviews. One thing I take from these videos is that there are just so many great whiskies out there, and I haven't tried more than a handful yet. Guess i need to expand my modest whisky selection soon! Good video as usual, cheers to you Roy.

[@icemancometh74]

Seems like we enjoy many of the same drams. I obviously must try the Deanston then! Really enjoy your reviews. To the point and unpretentious. I like reviews from people who actually drink whisky and like getting some bang for their buck...eh....punch for their pound? Anyway...Sláinte from Iceland!

[@vicwhisky7413]

Thank you for another great video Roy! Your recycle videos are always my best buying guide when I want to try something new! Cheers!

[@Eselta_]

I tend to agree with your reviews and your opinions, and usually it's because of your opinion, that I try a whisky. But, I have a special place in my heart for Talisker (especially the 10) as it was the 10, which started my whisky journey. This is possibly going to sound a little odd, but it was the first whisky I tasted, where I could tell it wasn't just alcohol sharpness running down my throat, and after this, it made every other whisky I've tasted, so much more enjoyable. The laphroig 10 (first peated whisky I ever tasted) taught me that, peat is a fantastic thing at times, but the Talisker started it all. Other than that, I agree, it is the hardest to connect with. My favorite Talisker at this point, being either the Storm or the Skye expressions. I love your reviews, and I look forward to the next.

[@charliemike5097]

Great vid, Roy. It's nice to get your thoughts on the Aberlour A'Bunadh and the Glendronach Allardice. I currently have a bottle of batch 60 of the A'Bunadh that I'm really enjoying. These are two of my absolute favorites.

[@everwind5691]

I just love these reviews, I get so much out of them and they do help my whisky purchasing decisions. I have been so disappointed with my Aberlour 16 purchase and seeing the 40% abv has really frightened me away from this distillery. I have had the A'bundh once and was not impressed enough to pay for the expensive NAS. Sorry I will miss this Thursday but headed to a concert. Keep them coming you are doing a great job!

[@Retro_Beek]

These recycled reviews are my favorite videos you do, Roy. Thank you for sharing. 🙏🏼😊

[@TheMashandDrum]

Recycled Reviews are a gem! Love this! Been waiting for the new one! Fantastic job Roy!

[@WineLightMedia]

Incredible reviews. Thank you.

[@Richie.Z]

Love these recycled videos! Thanks Roy and cheers brother

[@alyr9640]

Loving your channel Roy and these recycled reviews are a big reason why. Very unique and informative! Keep up the great work...it’s much appreciated here in NJ, USA. PS...what a tease at the start with the Tobermory. You had me at “earthy, oily and dank”. Then you say it’s discontinued. 😟. Ah well.

[@58deluxe8]

Great work! Thank you so much.

[@shugaroony]

Didn't know that the A'bunadh had jumped that much, sheesh! Think my vintners may still do it for £50-odd so I better hop on there before they notice! The Carn Mor stuff is pretty decent, have tried their Islay which was fine, but got a 6 year old Glencadam with them that packed even more of a punch than the normal stuff. Great value.

[@andrewowens4231]

This is a great format, all caught up now and after more! It's excellent. Another few added to the wishlist. Keep up the exceptional work.

[@Scotch4Dummies]

Sucked into watching from beginning to end...yet again! ;-) Well done Mr. Whisky Evangelist!!! ~Mark

[@ardatarcan4521]

Great video as always. This may be my favourite review concept, if I were you I would consider coming up with more series like this one, maybe review them once they are half full or impressions after first or second drams.

[@mlguzman75]

I wish I would have known about this channel and others years ago. I have started late in the Whisk(e)y game, I am only about 8 months in my journey. Thanks for the awesome content!

[@jasonkleschult9118]

This video makes me purr like a whisky-filled kitten. Just to echo many other comments, this is some of the best content on KZbin. I was wondering about when the next Blind Challenge will be ready. IIRC, it is one of the Scotch4Dummies guys.

[@adamschoedel8829]

I love these Recycled videos. I appreciate the reviews and opinions. It's also amazing how palates and experiences differ. Personally, I will always be biased toward Talisker 10. It was the first single-malt whisky that ever opened my eyes to what whiskey can be. I can't not love it. It always pleasantly reminds me of where my journey started. But I get it. Some whiskies just don't do it for you. I love peat and many Islays. But I just can't seem to make myself like most Laphroaig products very much. I don't know why.

[@Supermunch2000]

Oily, earthy, dank warehouse... I had a few with those notes and thought the whisky was a little off - glad to know it happens!

[@cardinalj]

"Purring like whiskey filled kittens" great line....great video

[@ScotchTestDummies]

Excellent as always Roy! Some great bottles in there!

[@sergeimalynovskyi4940]

Kilkerran 12 is one of those (IMO) that develops great over time. Especially when you leave it for 1-2 months after opening to let it breathe. It's really decent one with many layers of complexity for a 12 yo.

[@shugaroony]

Agreed, its a cracking dram. That salt buttery note in it really gives it a nice kick for such a light whisky.

[@twillagers]

Thanks Roy! Love the review and the spreadsheet! Can't wait to see your rating on the Balcones.

[@richardiandoli7437]

Glendronach 18 is fantastic stuff. Also love Deanston 20 as well.

[@ahpadt]

Yeah the 2019 bottlings are lovely. I question whether to buy another one before the new year when 2019's may be not available any more. Afaik, from 2020 onwards they are all down to 18 yo whiskeys again.

[@jimjudge314]

Really enjoy but to be able to have your spreadsheet on the phone while at the store? Brings up the value of this channel and you many notches! Thank you!

[@Aqvavitae]

Jim Judge Thanks Jim 👍 😊

[@dylannorthrup5439]

Great video, Roy! Always love these ones, and learn a lot! I just picked up a bottle of Deanston Virgin Oak on your recommendation. I’m now considering seeking out a bottle of Kilkerran... and was curious to learn that my Bunnahabhain XII is the “old bottling” you just recycled, and that red tube I see everywhere is the new one. I’ll gladly finish this bottle and buy the new one as soon as it becomes available here. Sláinte~!

[@WhiskeyCrusaders]

Roy thank you. Great review.

[@jschwienebart]

These are my favorite reviews out of all the channels I watch keep up the great work

[@dumindukarunaratne8678]

Great video & insight as always! Nice selection of empties too. You’re fast becoming my fav youtuber sir!

[@liberalatheist]

Agreed with the slight disappointment with Talisker 10 and positive thoughts on Glenmorangie Original, even though I'm a peat-head and salt-head.

[@poonthecomanche1513]

Strong work, Roy: another great breakdown, and the spreadsheet/resource links go above and beyond. Keep spreading the good word.

[@dram_mondays]

Got so excited when I saw this in my feed. My favorite series. Cheers

[@Firefly55056]

This video makes me purr like a whisky-filled kitten. On the subject of the Glendronach 18, the cheapest that I can find it is $155-175USD, which is more than I typically spend in a month for whisky. I'm trying to decide whether I would get the same enjoyment as having a Deanston 12, Bunnahabhain 12, and a Glengoyne 12 for the same money.

[@sowlegwhiskyreview5501]

I'll have to give Arran another try. I've only had a bottle of 10y and found it to citrusy to my liking. Great storytelling editing in the beginning🙂

[@crow468]

Love these! One of my best bottles (I have currently) is my Tobermory 22 year. After having a few other mid-aged/older Tobermorys, I'm convinced it's one that ages VERY well. :)

[@crow468]

Here, I thought we had the same taste buds! ...then, Talisker! My heart is broken. lol

[@whiskydisciple]

Another great video. Thank you! And thanks for the spreadsheet, it's going to be very useful.

[@TopWhiskies]

This video makes me purr like a whisky-filled kitten, great work as ever Roy - you’re the best, me-ow. Cheers, Ed

[@ConcaCon]

I have the 12 year old Aberlour, but it's the non-chill filtered version, bottled at 48% instead of 40%. What do you think of it? I think it's really great stuff.

[@sherrymaltdrams9183]

This video makes me purr like a whisky-filled kitten. Great video Roy. Deanston abv backwards 43.6. Price hike for aberlour abunadh is a bit too much if I can get the glendronach cask strength for about £50. Need to try the kilkerran as you didn't steer me wrong on Deanston 18. One of my favourites now.

[@StarScream0722]

I was going to mention the Virgin oak abv too. The fact that it is cheaper in the US than JW Black is a steal. Love the stuff.

[@sherrymaltdrams9183]

@@StarScream0722 haven't tried the virgin oak, but if it's anything like the 12,18 and 9 year old wine cask finish that I have tried then I'll definitely give it a go

[@WhiskyGeek]

Got to agree about the independent bottlings - I keep finding the depth of character that comes with the small batches and single casks in particular is hard to beat. Once I find a distillery which chimes with me I'm drawn towards looking for something special/one-off. A local retailer had the Allardice on offer for £65 a bottle - sold out within an hour as you can imagine! Unfortunately I missed out...

[@anthonyjosephcharles]

Love these recycled reviews so much. Keep up the good work. Sláinte from SC, USA.

[@TYCHO2003]

Nice review again. Although I like these Recycled Review I’m glad they don’t come weekly.. that would cost me a lot of money..😉. I’m an Arran fan actually. Great value for money, nice expressions, the CS versions of the 12yrs are great as well.

[@thewhiskyfriend]

Well done roy another top watch....up in Glasgow next weds.. not sure if you fancy a quick dram in town....

[@cato451]

Great stuff ROY. Love these recycle reviews!!

[@michaeldoerr9272]

Thank you for your Scorelist! Very helpful!

[@altangerelenkhtur5510]

Finally number 6, don’t get me wrong I don’t want you to go through bottles top fast but I wish the recycled reviews could come a bit faster as I enjoy this format of review very much.

[@adamschoedel8829]

attanangerel enkhtur: I know what you mean. I don't want the poor guy to poison his liver, but I'm always eager to watch the next 'recycled' video. There's something very honest about the format. All of us whisky fans would love to just always have everything. But when you run out of something, you have to make that ever-important decision about whether or not it's worth replacing.

[@mistermalt3234]

Very interesting and informative! It's a fact that a whisky develops over time in the bottle. Often for the better. That's why i cannot understand some you tubers judging a whisky after a tiny sample. You seem to be a big fan of Deanston. Did you also try the independant bottlings? I just have a Deanston 2008/2019 from Signatory in my glas. Great stuff.

[@saleen12]

On average how long does a bottle last once opened for you? I've been watching all the recycled reviews this week and I'm loving it!

[@Hogibaer]

Hah! The cork stopper of my Bunnahabhain 12 just broke last week and had to be replaced! The botting is from 2013 though. :-) Second you on inconsistency, H2H my 2016 version seems a tad younger and less sherried. To be fair, there are many inconsistencies out there, especially with first batch vs later batches bottlings, e.g. Lagavulin 8, Kilkerran 12.

[@keithjensen3810]

I really enjoy this format Roy. I am wrapping up my opinions and choices since I began my journey starting with the s4d's, then std's two years ago. I will not buy 40% ABV offerings, let's face it - they are doing the minimum. Regarding price, most (distiller's are watching their competition - naturally) do not (for the most part) believe in their product, rather they (I maintain) are watching the population. In 2000 the world population was 6.1 billion compared to 2018 which is at 7.7 billion. Hence non age statements. Additionally, I will not buy a non age statement, I will leave that to the rest of the population, if distillers want my $ they better have an age statement on the bottle and discipline. After all, there are only 3.1 cups in a bottle, earn my $, Lagavulin and neighbors have. These are the principles I have set for myself, so this is only my opinion. Thanks

I once had a bottle exactly like that Carn Mor Dailuaine but it had a fifteen year age statement... I would buy it on the spot if I saw another bottle of it!
