Whisky of the Year 2024

[@SippersSocialClub]

Another great year, another great list of top notch pours! Hazelburn has been bottling absolutely epic stuff, perhaps better than Springbank?? Nah, but very close. Cheers brother!

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Haha cheer brother

[@spiritforus]

Great list. Great year. Look forward to seeing you in the new year. Happy holidays everyone.

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Happy Holidays buddy

[@davidcraig8367]

Slainte mahth! Great content this year. Keep it rolling.

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Thanks David. Cheers!

[@thewhiskyenthusiast]

Brilliant Rob, what a list! Your number is beautiful whisky but it's just impossible to find anymore. Hopefully they'll release more and more of this range where it will be easier to get our hands on. Roll on 2025 for bigger and better whiskies!

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Cheers my friend. I have a feeling it will get easier to find.

[@steveno7058]

Meike Tour Turbo is a great pick! Outstanding stuff. My favorites this year: Port Charlotte 18, Speymalt 2004, Bunna 21 CS, Cairdeas 24 and Turbo.

[@kevinnordby4808]

Thanks Rob! Love your reviews buddy, keep up the great work!

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Thanks Kevin. Cheers!

[@Kingsofwhiskey]

Completely agree with the Turbo sentiment!

Merry Christmas

[@Rohit_M]

Great pick based on your experience with the Turbo Rob! I managed to get Meikle Toir Chinquapin and it's opened up nicely over the last couple of months. Wish you a merry Christmas Rob!

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Merry Christmas buddy 🙏🏻

[@nas7878]

Well done, Rob! Not sure if this is the last video of 2024 but wanted to congratulate you on a great year, lots of great content. Cheers bud.

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Thanks buddy. Appreciate that. Cheers!

[@kfordcurler]

Lol, action figure. It must be the holidays and Rob has Jingle All the Way on his mind. It's turbo time!!!

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Lol

[@gohabs365]

Nice shirt.

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Cheers

[@LGB007]

Not much of that Turbo came to Canada, and when it did, it was gone fast. Hoping for the next batch to come out soon. In fact less than 10 cases of it was shipped to Canada.

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Ya that’s not very much at all.

[@mormorgranat]

Merry Christmas. Fun first pick. Unfortunately I can't find the Turbo anywhere here

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Cheers

[@Hexagonal_Crank]

No surprises for anyone who’s watched your reviews. Merry Christmas, son!

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Merry Christmas

[@jakubhaska3707]

Surprise, surprise. Merry Christmas, Rob. 🎅

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Merry Christmas

[@heisenbergguy7772]

I can get 0/5 of your top 5 here in Texas, USA. My 2024 Scotch Whisky of the Year is Glen Scotia 15 Years. My 2024 Bourbon of the year is Town Branch Overproof.

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Never heard of that bourbon. Cheers buddy.

[@steveno7058]

Meike Toir was on the shelf for months in Austin at Specs. Bruchladdie 18 still on shelves

[@stevelandwonder4760]

​@@steveno7058The Turbo? Or standard releases?

[@johnw1597]

I just got a second bottle of this (edition 1) on auction for £60 plus fees (think about £75 all in). Cheers Rob, and I hope you have a great Christmas!👍🥃🎄

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Happy Christmas John

[@MrMBBM]

Heard only great things about that Meikle Toir Turbo! Unfortunately, you probably have a better chance of finding a Springbank before you find one of those. In the end, that Bruichladdich 18 is probably the easiest to find, and at a decent price for an 18 year old of that quality. You’re right about Lagavulin 12 though. I’m actually starting to see them sitting on the shelf in our liquor stores. And speaking of great peated whisky, have you tried the Port Charlotte 18? That’s another one that never even hit the shelves in my area.

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Never got to try the PC18 unfortunately

[@jameswrightesq]

Merry Christmas Rob! 🎄 Thanks for another great video and run down. I am firmly in the MT Turbo fan boy camp. That stuff is incredible and is my no 1 of 2024 too. It's not as heavily peated, but to those that can't get the Turbo do try the McNair's 10 yr old CS. That's a banger too, from the Billy Walker stable and much easier to find. Slainte 🥃

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Cheers buddy. Merry Christmas.

[@robertzemko6590]

Nice for sure that you can obtain these and I'm sure you are aware but it's ironic that not one of your 12 bottle picks are available here in Onterrible, not one! Cheers, Merry Christmas

[@WhiskyInThe6]

I’m aware buddy. Ontario sucks.

[@masterdad-zf9po]

Thank God for Alberta shippers. Bought the other 3 miekle Toirs but couldn’t get the Turbo. I wish it were otherwise coz I’ve heard great things about it. I confess i have a love affair for the glenallachie distillery, which started after picking up a (very inexpensive) single cask 15 at Robert Graham in Glasgow about 8 years ago (on their recommendation). Whisky tastings coming up next week with my sons - looking fwd to opening up a number of bottles bought this year at auction and imported. Don’t diss Octomore!! - yes it’s overpriced but it’s so damned good, especially the .3s Cheers!

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Cheers

[@prestonw3878]

Hell yeah

[@WhiskyInThe6]

🙏🏻

[@germantarapow9112]

Maybe the name of that meikle toir it comes from the spanish language, at least here in Argentina the Peat is called Turba. Considering The Turbo is the most heavily peated from the MT expressions it makes some sense

[@WhiskyInThe6]

That does makes sense

[@sugarkitty4777]

Lag 12 was way and above best with the Lion's Fire. Phoenix Fire a very large step down, even if not bad. But with the increasing price the Phoenix not worth it. Then the Inky Dinky Lagavulin and the even larger jump in price? OK whiskey, just more like the way it should be which means priced at like US$80. Really hard pass on those but it's based on the price, not the juice. Laddie 18 has had the price go crazy. But I can at least justify the price at that age. To me that by far is the better way to go.

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Cheers 🙏🏻

[@darrylcalder]

$100 for a 5 year old seems a bit expensive but your endorsement against some other nice selections is compelling.

[@Whiskyfan519]

That's the reality of the Canadian market, especially in Ontario. Not much to be had that's decent below 100.

[@heartbroken522]

Merry Christmas Rob amd Jeremy 😊

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Merry Christmas
