what do you drop in the glass before Nosing ?

Outstanding as always guys. I like port a cask finish a little more than sherry cask so yet another bottle added to my list to look for. Thank you and keep up the great work. Cheers...

My favorite Port Cask ever was a Springbank with full port maturation, second place would be Kavlan Solist Port Cask... The old label Quinta Ruban is my favorite Glenmorangie, but have outgrown the distillery and have not tried the new one.

I thoroughly enjoy a good game of "Stump The Brit." :)

I've been very curious about Port Cask thank you for pointing the way.

I do enjoy watching y'all explore these whiskys. I have only had the 14, which was my first scotch ever. I found it to be exceedingly pleasant and encouraged me to try more scotch whiskys. Thanks Colin and Malcolm.

Another fabulous episode… Malcolm needs to start taking notes… 😅 The 14 QR is an excellent dram, and probably the best value in the Glenmo Core Range, in my opinion. Add several drops of it to a dram of Allardice and you will encounter an amazing - and otherwise highly priced by others - blended dram. The Glenmo 10 is now going to 12, and the Nectar D’Or is going to 16. A couple other age upgrades are expected. I guess they are seating on a lot of liquid, bad for cash flow, hopefully good for us fans.

When I think of port I think of Arran and Balvenie, but Glenmoranigie Quinta is a fine pour. Especially the 12 year I haven’t tried the 14 yet

Nice review! I just got myself a bottle of this one. My wife bought in Germany. I'm really looking forward to try it again. I've had 2 bottles before, Batch 1 from 2010 and batch 8 from 2014. I think it was in 2018 that they change from "Batch" to "Limited Edition". It's a mix of peated (40ppm) and unpeated ex-bourbon barrels and ex oloroso sherry casks and it's often a bit higher ratio of the sherry casks, all according to the distillery. I've had quite a few different Bunnahabhain over the years, never disapointed, so far. Cheers

Really like Glen Grant and wanted to see what others thought about it and found this review. You guys are great to watch! Nice editing. Subscribed.

While in a visit to Portugal, our guide took us to an unscheduled spot to a grove of cork trees (Quercus suber). It was quite a sight. It is good to know that the cork is harvested every nine years as to not harm the trees. Cheers!

Get rid of corks! Poor trees 😢 I've never seen your beard released before... Impressive!

Always a pleasure to see you guys.

Outstanding as always guys and shame on me. I've never had a Glen Grant but I searched online and only found 13 & 15 year old near by. I may pick up a bottle of the 15 since it's only $70. Thank you and keep up the great work. Cheers...

Thanks guys. You make my Saturday night something to look forward to. It seems as though Randy is toying with you. Close, but no cigar. Cheers!

OMG… my late uncle used to quote this all the time. It was also “blazing saddles”. 😂😂😂

On a trip to see the Copper Canyon in Mexico, our tour guide showed the movie The Treasure of the Sierra Madre as we were passing through Chihuahua, Mexico. Such a treat.

Sounds like a nice flavour profile on that one gents good show as always. I haven't tried a Macallan yet but hopefully one day I will get a chance.

Just got a script for OGD 114 the other day 🥃😉👍

It amazes me how much new information or technique that I learn week after week. It is like two different experiences within moments of each other. Thanks again.

Cheers guys another great Vid.

Cheers Lads, 😊🥃& give Randy a pat on the back for me.

I like Macallan a lot. It has a flavor profile you won’t find in any other distillery. Have a 2018 Classic Cut stashed missed out on the 2017 and have a 2022 open. I just wish they wouldn’t have replaced this with the Cask Strength they used to release 20 years ago which I hear was exceptional. Cheers.

When you guys sit down at the bar and aren’t recording a video, what are you guys usually sipping on? One of the bottles you already have cracked open or are you going back to a few old favorites? I know you mentioned once a bottle is gone you don’t replace it, but didn’t know if that only applied to the dusty bottles or all bottles

Nice review guys! Good stuff IMO I drink scotch whisky for 30yrs now and I never heard somebody complaining about cloudiness of it’s whisky it’s IMO only the industry speech to justify their leveling operations and make it easier to drink Cheers 🥃

Great episode and education. PA has been know to source also from Laphroaig and even Bunnahabhain. They do mostly source from Caol Ila. I do have a bottle of Port Askaig 18 - a limited US release - that I’ve been eager to open for a while and figure it out. Some people out there that have tried it seem to think that it might be Bunnahabhain Stoisha. I’ll let you know once a find out hopefully in the near future and “Before we die!”

Thank you again for sharing your wisdom and insight. I have heard many people say that would be a great summer pour or this I prefer on a crisp fall evening. Few, actually very few, explain why they say that. Some do say that since it is lighter on the palete, it would be nice in the summer. However, you guys have given a scenario that might be in any season, why a certain whisky would be perfect for a certain situation. You have paired this Port Askaig with certain weather conditions and with a certain cookie. I would like to see other whiskies paired with weather conditions or social events.

Absolutely love you guys and I'm a complete noob to Scotch can you recommend a Non Peated Scotch for the Holiday season? I was thinking Bunnahabhain but was hoping you guys could throw a couple names out.

I've had this, I love me a good Port Askaig, although my favorite of all time is the 100 Proof (EU version) Just a stunning drop for the price, and so easy drinking for the ABV although the taste is so full.

Very nice review! I have a bottle of this glen grant and after this review I will open it. Cheers from Brazil.

FM I’m gonna live to 1050

I love my basement and bar, but man, this is a dream basement. Love all the bottles and aesthetics, especially the wood shelving design. Subscribed!

Holy crud dude, this WTF series is getting so dang far away from whisky and I love it.

I’ve got a week of peat story 2 and a peat week 2003 both unopened sadly. Love everything Balvenie does so very much looking forward to cracking those open some day. Cheers guys

Outstanding as always guys. The Balvenie 12 old double oak got me into Scotch decades ago. I have loved most all of their releases since and I have had a dram of this bottle and loved it. My tastes has moved on to Islay whiskeys since but I love the fact they "experiment" at least once a year just see what they can do outside the envelope/box. Kudos to Balvenie and others for being so bold. Thank you and keep up the great work. Cheers...

Outstanding conversation, what an amazing way to share that dram amongst yourselves and us. Now you have me tempted at opening my Week of Peat bottle just to experience it!

Thank you again for opening your bar to us, the fly on the wall. My appreciation of whisk(e)y, and scotch in particular, has greatly expanded by listening to your banter. May you never run out of scotch so I can learn more. Cheers!

Still waiting on your visit. 🙌🏻😎

Auld Scotland wants no skinking wares that joups in luggies if you wish her grateful prayer gie her a Campbeltown.

That red waxy seal is helpful for sure, I dont even have to look at the label to know I am passing 😅

i don't know lol, not everyone is an alcoholic

Subscribed. Loved the video

rotgut

Subscribed great video

It's plastic not wax u smoke crack

Outstanding as always gentlemen and yet another bottle added to my wish list. I've never had Glen Scotia but really want to try one now. Thank and keep up the great work. Cheers...

I have a 2 pronged question. Is that a grouping of Benromach that starts your collection? A special distillery for you or just "had to start somewhere"? And if not what is No. 1? No rum notes from me this week. But it's my birthday next Friday so I'll no doubt have something to wrote about then from my own collection. Have a good week.

Hey, just talked about Glen Scotia! - Lovely stuff they make, always a nice substitute to Springbank or Kilkerran.

Thank you for letting me into your haven and allowing me experience the pour without nosing or tasting the dram. I have had the unpeated Glen Scotia 15 Year, which is a delightful Scotch. I recall the floral notes, similiar to a Lowland Scotch, but not as light. Ah, the art of distilling is ever fun to explore. Cheers!

Pulled out my GS 10yr Bordeaux Cask Campbeltown Festival bottle, thanks for the opportunity too indulge my taste buds🥃😉& would you believe I replied to your comment last week & it hasn't survived the YT censor even worded with care.
