[@ion1984]

omg i love this review i laughed so hard. thanks buddy!

[@eliteEASYhacks]

your reaction to the smell is the funniest thing ive watched on the internet!!

[@jakeizlove]

I want to try Octomore!!!

[@bleebloe2726]

this was a great review, you're the most sophisticated, intelligent and naturally funny whisky reviewer on the tube!

[@502Aviation]

I recently found this exact bottle at my local chain liquor store for $175 USD. Horst, you are the exact opposite of me. I do not like unpeated or non sherried Scotch whiskey. When it comes to peatsmoke, there is no such thing as too much, and I ALWAYS try my whiskey neat, regardless of ABV. I had a dram of Octomore 06.3 with a PPM of 257, and it was GLORIOUS! From there on, I decided to pursue the Octomore series.

[@Adrian802]

Hahaha!!! Makes me wanna run out and buy an Octomore.

[@JeremyDore]

When you took your first taste, I knew that you hadn't diluted and the reaction you gave was priceless. :D I laughed so hard at this video because I agree, extreme smoke isn't something I'm interested in. I love Springbank and Highland Park levels of peat right now but I'm still exploring single malts and have a little fear of the heavier islay whiskys like Ardbeg, Lagavulin and what not at the price points they sit at.

[@nigel900]

I was unsure... until the "rotten algae" hit a home run for me....

[@chrissheppard5068]

I think you mean you will be unlucky if you find this bottle.

[@Justin-yk3ox]

You always know when Horst is reviewing an Octomore, because the nosing is 7-8 minutes into the video. He futilely attempts to defer the inevitable nosing, and then tasting of this campfire in a bottle, taking extra time to read the label, and tell stories of Jim McEwan.

I love when you talk Gaelic 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙂

[@aussies30]

Ha ha - loved the review!

[@scotchcornerwithunclenate]

Whispers holy sh$t

[@huggeyful]

I love your facial expression on the first nosing!

[@Hocky_World]

The whole video is just funny watching your facial expression. Thanks for the video

[@TheBlackIdentety]

"Holy Shit" 🤣🤣🤣

[@Spaceqowboy]

It really does attack your tongue if you don't dilute it. I can imagine that if you don't like smoky/peat this one is too far fetched; I myself do like it tho, but time should be taken to drink it.

[@hopkinsjr436]

Whoelse justhad to watch the nosing again and again before moving on? 😅

[@profatenista]

I couldn't stop laughing so hard after hearing you go "ohhh" and "holy sh*t" upon your first whiff.
