Most people don't know about the Inver House stable, but they are 5 kick ass distilleries. Even Speyburn is better than most snobs give it credit for. Nice review Alan.

Cheers buddy I have been drinking old Pulteney for years just coming across the others...you are correct they have some great distilleries...cheers again buddy...

Good review Alan. I've had a few bottles of the 12, and I have a bottle of the 22, but haven't tried the 18. Like you I've been wondering how long it's going to be before they hike the prices of anCnoc as well. Hopefully not, but I fear it is pretty much inevitable.

Nice timely reviews Alan! I’ve not tried any AnCnoc yet but may grab a 12 & crack it open right away (to see if I need to stash a few 😂). I really hope Inverhouse is forced to rethink their ultra premium prices on the higher aged Old Pulteney & the direction they’ve taken balblair in as well.

Jay Chung i won't spend £50 more for the old pulteney 18 over the 17. Sorry old pulteney it's been great but I'll be moving on to other things.

I’ve only tried the 12 year old. There has been some superb deals on some older versions within the past 1/2 year though on 22 and 24 year olds for just under or right around the $200.00 mark. Not sure why I never went for them?? I only own a Peter Arkle bottling. You’re making me want to go out and buy a bottle though Alan 😉.

I couldn’t get friendly with the 12. I couldn’t get anything positive . Out of all the distilleries they own, I believe Speyburn is the gem. For value, flavour, complexity, the Speyburn 12 is a must.

Maybe we should all put reviews out saying how bad they are :-) Great review. Would you say you would prefer the 12 to the 18 if they were both 46%? The 12 is 43% in the US and around $45.
@thewhiskyfriend5 жыл бұрын
That's a great question Phil,I'm very jealous of the extra abv to the state and the 750 bottles...I would love this at 46% abv and if it was about £50 compared to the £74 then yes I would have the 12.. cheers Phil....

I was recently given a bottle of the 12 and was fairly dubious, seeing as it's bottled at 40%. I agree with everything you said though; it's wonderfully complex, especially for the price. As well as the fruit, I also get aniseed from it. Great review - you've reminded me that I need to pick up another bottle.
@thewhiskyfriend5 жыл бұрын
how good would it be at 46% Robin?
@RobinSidwellKoaDobro5 жыл бұрын
@@thewhiskyfriend Yes, 46% would be awesome. There's a 2002 vintage Ancnoc that you can get for around £60 that's 46% (bottled in 2017). I've had my eye on it for a while but haven't got around to buying it yet. I'll probably pick it up sooner rather than later though, seeing as how they've hiked the price of Balblair / Pultney!

Nicely done Alan, the anCnoc 12 & 18 sound like really good value for money, might have to give the anCnoc 12 a try since it is only $50 US. Looks like you and Andy from foodquig got along quite famously with Whisky Wednesday, what a gathering of KZbin reviewers and friends. Cheers to the best drams!

Theres actually a no obligatory donation you can make to one of two local charities that the distillery selects every year. That's what they do instead of a charge. It's a really nice way of doing things.

Thank you for the great review and comparison. I do not like the 18 that much but the 12 is indeed a great value for the money. Do you plan a review of that beautiful Glencadam 15 behind you? I am also Interested to hear your thoughts on their 10 yo
