Nice list ! I would also suggest these for the money :

- Ledaig 10 75 CAD
- Elijah Craig 48 CAD
All great choices
Good list , i liked ))) Cheers !
Thanks
Rob, great list. Glad you offer some honorable mentions / options. I keep passing on the CB Orchard House but need to grab one.
Grab one. You won’t regret it.
@@WhiskyInThe6 Yes but I've been enjoying the Glencadam 10 and Loch Lomond 12 so much.
I just finished a bottle of the Knob Creek 12yo, it was excellent. Buying another bottle.😁
Great video Rob. You nailed the bourbons so I'll give the other whiskeys a try if I can find them. Cheers!
Cheers buddy
The Arran 10 and 18 are phenomenal
Agreed
Glenfarclas 15 is a great shout. Always a cracking pour. Only gets better as the bottle level goes down.
Agreed
Great list Rob, in the UK I can get the Port Charlotte 10 in the same price range as the Glenallachie and the Lagavulin so that would be on my list as well. I might also go Glencadam 10 which is also great value, cheers man!
Haven’t tried the glencadam 10 yet. Need to.
Love the port charlotte 10 as well.
Also haven't tried the Glencadam 10 yet but heard so many good things. The Port Charlotte 10 may have replaced the Ardbeg 10 in my opinion as one of the best heavily peated Islay whiskies. Ardbeg quality has declined over the past 6 - 8 years.
I definitely love Port Charlotte 10, it's unquestionably my favorite peated malt these days, but it is getting pricey, I can't find it for under $65 any longer; so I'd include Ardbeg 5 based on what it offers in value ✌️
@@MrChristopherMolloy I can still get the Port Charlotte for £45 but that will probably change. I agree that the Wee Beastie for £30 - £35 is great value and I think the Ledaig 10 for £38 is a steal, cheers Chris!
Yes Rob! Super happy to see Glenfarclas 15 get love! Goes toe to toe with much more expensive speysides in my experience.
I think mind would be:
-Glenfarclas 15
-Lagavulin 11 Offerman Ed.
-WT Rare Breed
-Phroig QC
-HP Magnus
-Amrut Fusion
Great choices. Cheers.
Those are amazing values Rob and I've had all of them over the years. Glad to have backup bottles of some, not all. I would throw in an Irish low proofy one such as RB 12 or Green Spot. Great value buys!
Yellow spot is great when available as well.
Thanks Rob. Forget the GF 15 in the US.
Lag8 is $55, half of the 16. I just went back to my bottle after a long while. So good!
GlenAllachie 12 rocks, the other variations are a different story but the core 12 is the new standard for sherried.
Nice! $55 is a steal for the lag. Great whisky.
Orchard House is a gem.
So good.
Great list. I’d go with the regular Lot 40 myself, I prefer it’s flavours and it’s a bit less. Though for value the best I’ve found is Dewar’s 15. Mainly as I can get 1.75 l. at Costco in Alberta for just over $50 and there is no beating that for value. It’s fine neat and great on ice or a highball with soda on a hot day.
Solid buys there for sure.
The old pulteney 12 is really good! around $75
Lovely list....it so much depends on where you are in the world. The Glenallachie range is getting expensive rather quickly. The 12 is about 50% more than the Arran 10. Arran's range below the 18 is very affordable. Prices are jumping up unfortunately. And yes you definitely must try the Glencadam 10. Bourbon matured. More in line with the Arran barrel reserve than the 10. Over here in the Netherlands about the same price as the Arran 10. Cheers.
Ya that’s definitely significant
Solid list. I would have Adradour 10 on my core list. It’s about $70-$75 US but punches way above it price in every category.
Need to try that
I love Glenallachie 12....also Wild Turkey 101..Arran 10...think i need to try Lagavulin 8...😋😋😋
Cheers
Great list Rob! I like this angle on the set. I would love to see you do a top 6 for each of the categories you mentioned. Glenallachie 12 for $60 CAN?! Hehe, we shop at the sale AB stores 😉
Definitely need to do a top 6 for each. Cheers.
Absolutely agree with the Glenfarclas 15, Arran 10 and Lagavulin 8. However, I felt the Glenallachie 12 was a major disappointment after I bought and opened a couple bottles of the 15. I do like the 15 but even that started to drop a little after drinking quite a lot. It somehow feels like the whiskies from Glenallachie are over matured to perhaps hide some lesser quality distillate. The 12 is nowhere near the 15 and I feel the 15 is still fairly reasonable for a whisky of that age.
I cannot wait for Billy Walker to start working with his own distillate and barrels in the near future and that the quality increases overall.
Interesting. Fair points.
@@WhiskyInThe6 - BTW, Orchard House is the perfect summer whisky. It gives you exactly what is on the label.
It saddens me to see Lagavulin 16 passing the $100 price point here in the US. Easily one of my favorite scotches. Great list here! Cheers
Thanks Christian
Laphroaig 10 must be included in this list. It's also a budget friendly popular superb whiskey.🙏
I wish the abv was 46%
Good list Rob, have you tried the glencadam 10? I like it even more then the arran 10
Keep hearing about this. Have to try.
Sadly Glenfarclas 15 isn’t sold in the U.S. that I know of. And I’ve seen many a Compass Boxes but haven’t seen the Orchard House yet in my travels 😔 Solid list tho, cheers 🥃
I love a GlenAllachie 12 with a cigar, but at 95$ over here at SAQ land, the whisky has quite a lot to live up to…
Good job though and keep ‘em coming! Cheers ✌️
I am not surprised saq isn’t much better than LCBO. That’s too bad.
Those are delicious. I get JW Green for $55 in New Jersey. To me that's a great deal
Very solid
A nice list. I would have included Wild Turkey 101, Old Forester Signature Straight Rye 100, Loch Lomond 12, Glencadam 10, Ardbeg 5, Craigellachie 13, and Glenmorangie 14 Quinta Ruban in my list ✌️
Solid list. Cheers.
All of these plus Glen Scotia 15. Currently available at 91 tax in its astounding value. Also Ledaig at 75, for those not in Ontario we are charged 120 for talisker 10 for reference.
Yes! Leadaig 10 definitely up there for sure. My list would be heavy on the peat options if I wasn’t thinking wide spectrum. Cheers.
Great Review Rob! GA 12 is my go to as well! I pour this for guests more than any of my 100 or so whiskys(eys)! The 20-21 versions are super rich and dark as well! Neal
Hopefully consistency stays on point.
In my gut I believe Billy Walker will sell GA soon as he did with GD! Stock up now on expressions that impress! For 60-75 this 12 is their Best Buy!
@@nealbruce5914 agreed
Great list! For me Bunnahabhain 12.
Nice
The GF 15 is $113 at the dreaded LCBO now....still good value but beware the batch variation! We definitely got an exceptional batch last year so I hope when a new batch arrives it will be the same.
I'm also hoping they'll bring in the Arran 10 at some point but it seems they just get random stuff like Amarone finish instead...
Good list and proof that there are still solid buys for a small budget!
For LCBO I guess that isn’t bad
See if you can find a Quarter Cask - almost like a cask strength version of the 10 and perhaps a few bucks more expensive.
@@WhiskyInThe6it’s selling for $175 at LCBO rn lol
I can get a Glenallachie 15 for the same price as Glenfarclas 15. So I go for the Glenallachie. All of their core range is good value.
Makes sense
I would also say, that Talisker 10 still has a good price. Ardbeg 10 kinda as well. Old Ballantruan 10 though is definitely a better value than PC 10. I also really like Benriach 10 Smoky for its price. Which is strange, because I wasnt a fan of Curiositas.
Deanston 12 and Craigellachie 13 are also still great for their respective prices. Though Glencadam 10 is a better value still. From the less known I thought that Tomatin 15 (American Oak Casks) was pretty good. Really creamy pleasant dram. Arran 10 you mentioned.
Orchard House is amazing as you said. I would say that Compass Box Spice Tree is nearly as good.
Problem with Talisker 10 is it’s up to $120 now at the LCBO. I do still really enjoy that as well as the Ardbeg 10. Made great points buddy. Cheers.
Glenallachie 12 is great and seems to get better all the time!
I tried it for the first time last week and it was worth the wait these past years to have a great first impression 😊
Agreed.
Glenallachie 12 40USD, ARRAN10 35USD in Bulgaria
Amazing prices
Thanks for the great video. What was the price range that you used?
Under $90 cad.
@@WhiskyInThe6 Thanks
The Glenfarclas 12 I thought was young and spikey. I gave mine away. Is the 15 that much better?
I would say significantly better
Glen Garioch 12 is an insane value ..at least at Zyn. I'd always drink it back to back with the Glenallechie 12, and their both great, but the glen garioch 12 is a step better
Ya true.
damn the Glenallachie is $75 here in NJ. never had it. guess I will add it to the list
Not a bad price.
Love the vid and the recommendations apart from the number 1. We don't agree and that's cool. Talisker 10 for £30? Some of the high proof Arran ticks the box
Love the Talisker 10 but it’s $120 here.
@@WhiskyInThe6 It's gone up in price over here (U.K) as well but it's one of those Diageo products that is often on sale in regular supermarkets throughout the year and that's when I buy a few. The 18 has just been relaunched and it's £100 more expensive than before. We shan't be buying that anymore. That happens with Bunnahabhain 12 as well so I'd have that on my list. Wild Turkey 101 has to be on the list for sure. I can buy a 1 litre bottle of that for $28 euros in Spain.
Talisker 10 is $70 USD for me. If it was $40 USD I would buy it all the time
WT101 is the best quality for the price in Canada
Rob, Glenfarclas 15 or Amrut Fusion?
Probably Amrut fusion if you haven’t had Indian
@@WhiskyInThe6 thanks. Actually that's my favorite under $100.
#216th Thumbs up ma man
Cheers
I agree with your list for the most part, but feel like GlenAllachie in general looks a bit manufactured at this point and I’m not fan of that. Their pricing in the U.S. isn’t that great too, 10 is 100$, 12 around 70$ and 15 is like 110$
Fair enough. Cheers.
All Scotch is manufactured. But yes your prices are a bit high. I can get the 12 for $50 and 15 for $75. At those prices the value is great.
Your not finding Glenfarclas 15 at $60 US because there is no Glenfarclas 15 in the US :)
WT 101 Only $16 STL metro
Amazing
$60 CAD for Glenallachie 12?? SAQ price is now $96!
That’s high
It’s $110 in MB and the lag is now $100….
Sorry but this list is garbage the best whiskey for the price is Buchanan 12 period
Bahahahahahahhahahahhahahahha
