Shopping List:
Irish: Green Spot, Jameson, Redbreast 12
Burbin: Makers Mark, Buffalo Trace, Wild Turkey 101
Sweet Scotch: Gelnmorangie, Glenfiddich 12, Monkey Shoulder
Smokey Scotch: Lagavulin 16, Ardbeg 10, Laphroaig 10
Burbin?
Which Jameson?
Darren Sim yes lol
too bad Loch Lomond 12 didnt make the cut. truly my favorite. it floats right between sweet and smoky scotch.
Dustin Bess lmao
As someone who has only just entered the world of whiskey, I am really enjoying the videos you guys put out. They are both entertaining and informative. I am excited to try some of these different whiskeys. Cheers!
Me, not noticing the nail heads until they pointed them out and now I can't stop staring at them
Hey Whisky Tribe! Thank you guys for your videos! I just turned 21, and was looking for a lot of suggestions and you guys have helped a lot! I’m from Kentucky so of course I’m accustomed to Jim and jack, but thank you for doing these reviews. You guys are awesome and keep it up! Love the content.
Buffalo trace has quickly become my favorite thanks to y'all, and here in my area of Oregon it's extremely accessible.
Redbreast 12 has become my daily drinker ever since I started watching this channel, you have opened my eyes to so many new whiskeys.
The San Francisco vs New York reference might be the funniest thing I have heard yet from you two to date.....fawking Love It !!
yeah, its that misplaced New York hubris. And Im a former New Yorker! The largest city of each country often has that superiority mentality, and more often than not, its misplaced.
Rtva.v
Rtva.v.
whoa buddy watch the language
Redbreast 12 was great! It has certain bourbon characteristics about it which makes it the perfect bottle to share with the one friend who strictly drinks bourbon!
I love Daniel's reaction to "The Creamy Vault" before he even watches it. 🤣 Always great videos!
I was in tears lol
The ad 😂😂 also very accurate representation of what’s easily accessible by me (northern Illinois). Have all of these in my bar and they are all loved.
Guys,
I’m a huge fan, and I have a content suggestion that would also solve a problem for me. I made a horrible mistake by buying a bottle of Octomore just prior to the Covid shutdown. It was glorious. I particularly loved how deep and dark the flavors were. Not so much the smoke or peat, though it’s Octomore, so you can’t ignore that, but the dark dried fruit flavors that the smoke is wrapped around which most attracted me. Here then is the problem. It’s not an inexpensive whiskey and with all the uncertainty created by Covid lockdowns, I’m just not in a position to spend Octomore kind of money at the moment. I’d like to be a bit more prudent. I love Laphroaig of course, and while that may come from the same Islay tree as Octomore, it seems to me to be on a very different branch. So I was wondering if you can offer some suggestions that stay true to the flavors to the degree that it can be done, but wander around the price points.
A content suggestion what would very much appeal to me (and I hope to others), is one that starts with ‘if you’ve had and loved this relatively expensive and wonderful whiskey, and would like to go down that road in a more carefully budgeted way, here’s stuff to think about.’ Sort of follow the notes up and down the price points. It’s sort of an anti-snobbery way to look at the space, and no one can do that better than you guys.
By the way, I’ve tried most of the Port Charlotte line, and while it was lovely, I didn’t find it even on the same road as Octomore. Maybe Octomore is so unique that it’s on a different road entirely than everything else. Maybe I’m just clueless. Fair enough. But I think this would be an interesting and useful bit of content to get from experts like you guys.
PS I’ve been in New York City for 30 years now, and you guys remind me of absolutely everything I miss most about Texas.
Personally haven't tried the Octomore yet (definitely on my list, which one did you have?), but from your description it sounds like the Ardbeg Uigeadail might be up your alley. A lot more affordable + amazing fruity flavors hidden behind the smoke.
@@qsdfghjklm363 I've had the 10.3 and the 10.4. The 10.4 is the one I flipped over but both are stunning and well worth the money. It's just a bit much to drink all the time. I am down with the Uigeadail as well. I actually am thoroughly enjoying the wee beastie at the moment, though it's not quite the same darkness. But yeah, you seem to be getting the theme, and I just thought it might be a fun way to walk through some of the variations. Thanks for the pointer.
I agree with this wholeheartedly
Ah welcome to the island. Once you try it your trapped and nothing else comes close. I absolutely love my octomore but your right it's hard to find and a bit$$$. ardbeg uigeadail is still one of my favorites. My suggestion is to move through the ardbeg line up. Also I dont like gin but I found the botanist to be interesting
My balls haven't dropped so I can't handled Islay's, but I do like this idea.
Laphroaig: ground bandages and iodine in Malt-O-Meal.
I love it.
a great Scotch
I like to warm up the palate with Jack D and then hit it with Ardbeg 10. Then I can taste that oily tar. If I start with Ardbeg, I just taste vanilla.
my list of acceptable scotch is pretty simple, always like the Glenmorangie finishes, the Glenffidich and Glenlivets, Blue label Johnnie, that's about it.
Greg Camp wow sounds delicious. Why I stick with highlands.
@@WoodshavenPatriot To each his own.
Buffalo Trace: sold out of every liquor store in Chicago but you can buy it at the grocery store without fail for $24.99
Yeah man its never in stock in alabama but every time I go to Louisiana its everywhere
Target has pallets of it, but your liquor store has none
Its the same here in Scotland
Rarely in the off-licence but easy to get when you're buying milk and bread. Maybe that says more about us than the bourbon
@@PieceBoxHeid says more about milk and bread
Just bought a bottle at a grocery store 20.99 In Louisville, Kentucky
The moment you realise you are deep into whiskey game when you tasted 11 out of 12 ( missing green spot ) and have half of the whiskies spoken today currently in your whiskey bar, 😁
Of the 12 shown here, I have tried 10 of them, and I currently have about 8 with a few of the brands like Bunnahabhain, Bruichladdich and Oban.
Tp
Thanks to all of the watching the Tribe, I had all but one of these. Red Breast has been out of stock lately, hope to try it soon.
From each category I feel like I'm most likely to find Glenfiddich 12, Jameson, Wild Turkey 101, and Lagavulin 16 at a bar. It's weird how bars, if they carry a smokey scotch, generally carry Lagavulin, however, Laphroaig 10 is a close second.
Great episode guys. Loved it all. Only issue is that Ardbeg 10 should have been number 1 in smokey instead of Emma's choice!! Do like the Laphroaig though.
IVE NEVER NOTICE THE NAILS TILL NOW! Now I can't unsee it
Hi guys, I just started getting into whiskey (switching from beer/wine to cut calories due to diet). I used this video as sort of a starting off point, and after trying most of the suggestions on this list, I have fallen in love. Thank you very much for introducing me to the wonderful world of whiskey.
Yeah, availability definitely varies greatly by region. It's usually a matter of months between times my two local VABC stores have Buffalo Trace in stock. It's usually out of stock within a couple of days of arriving and limited to one bottle per customer per day. It's always available somewhere in Virginia, but when the closest VABC store that has it is 120 miles away, it's easier to just order it from California. My favorite Irish is Teeling Single Malt. VABC just discontinued it so now I have to order it from out-of-state.
I live out west and have yet to find BT. Surprised it made the most accessible list???
Wold turkey 101! Whew.
" I've been drinking bourbon since before I've been paying for it. "
🤣🤣
“I too think it is good for drinking Daniel.” 😆🤣😆
Glad to see Glenmorangie get a little love. The Quinta Ruban is by far my favorite of any reasonably priced Scotch.
Green Spot accessible?.... Cries in Canadian, where it's not common in bars and is nearly $100 when you can find it in stores 😢
Nothing I like is affordable or accessible in Canada. Lol
I have the standard, chateau montalena and the Leolville Barton on my shelf. Sorry...😔
@@appalachianexploration5714 yeah exactly. Around me a little less the half this list is 'accessible' by price or availability. I finally found some Turkey 101 the other day though!!
same in Russia
It’s in most of the the liquor stores in Louisiana. It’s just pricey
Can we all just stop and recognize how well Rex nailed that jack Nicholson cadence
Finally, for the first time I actually have every whisk(e)y on a Tribe list!
A true Samuels family fan I see
Buffalo trace is widely available in nebraska. Every grocery or liquor store has at least one variety on the shelf whenever i have looked for it.
Thank you for this. I know creating content requires exploring lots of different things, but I swear most of the drink mixing and tasting channels are just trying to show off how extra they are with drinks you've never heard of with ingredients you'll never be able to buy. It's rather annoying, and I must say your channel is a breath of fresh air in comparison.
Every appearance of buffalo trace is a grim reminder that I live in an ABC State.
Lmao, me too. At least I have a Total Wine down the road as well.
I’ve lived in VA (ABC State). No Buffalo Trace in ABC States? Honestly curious, not questioning you. Is there a rule for the brand, or the type?
New hamphsire has the best liqour commission in the country all state only stores and they all every single ome have Buffalo trace lol
@@stevestojan I think its the fact that the STATE buys the alcohol and they control which brands and how much of them they buy for the year. If Im right they could just be bought out by the public quickly.
I live in a freedom state so I could be wrong about that
@@appalachianexploration5714 Except the last time I was in Manchester I couldn't find it lol. I looked, hard.
Rye gets little love. I feel like people need some reference points. A little help in the right direction. Maybe some small whiskey CZcams channel can do a top 10 ryes for beginners, or essential ryes chosen by the tribe. I wasn't a big fan when I first tried them. And now I'm currently sippin on Rittenhouse rye.
Just a dram for thought. Cheers. 🥃
A nice young spicy rye is my favorite form of whisky!
2-4 year old MGP is damned hard to beat,... and cheap too!
(Heaven Hill makes good rye too, LOVE the Rittenhouse)
Rye should get more love. I started my journey in Irish and scotch, but I'm from Northern Michigan and to help support my home state distilleries (because Rona) I bought a bottle of Traverse City Whiskey Co. North Coast Rye. It's only 35 bucks for me and has become my go to when I'm not looking to explore and examine every sip. This has started me on a lovely new rye leg of my journey.
I didn't like rye for years. Then, I tried Sazerac, Knob Creek, and Rittenhouse. Now, I find those ryes to be a nice change of pace.
Just picked up Bulleit 95 Rye. Haven't popped it yet. Any comments before I do?
@@Bubbles99718 bulleit is pretty herbal and minty in a way. So if you like sweeter ryes id be cautious
I know a guy that always has two bottles of money shoulder on hand. One is opened for sharing with guests, the other is sealed to send home with them if they like it.
My favourite two whiskeys made there list.
Greenspot and 12 yr Redbreast.
Not enough creamy vault content.
something something r/nocontext
That’s good cream.
nope, absolutely too much creamy vault content
@@doc.l You can NEVER have too much creamy vault content...
Consider it redirecting to the whiskey tribe as of now ;)
When I bought my Ardbeg10 1st bottle campset with mugs there was a little hand wrote note with a picture of a bottle of Laphroaig that said call me.
Did you call them? And if you did, did you get a bottle of Laphroaig?
Really thats cool
Purchased a Redbreast 12 Yrs lst week and it certainly does not dissapoint. It's like a combination of advantages of Speyside scotch and lighter Japanese Whiskeys.
@9:12 Glenfiddich. Glenmorangie and Glenlivet..... Reminds me of the song from Crash Test Dummies "When I go our with artists" - lyrics:
"What if the artists ran the TV?
All the ads would be for fine scotch whiskey:
Glenfiddich, Glenlivet, the whole single malt family"
Love what you guys do especially when it crosses over with a song from the early 90s that I like!!!!
For the $30 monkey shoulder costs me, I will always have two bottles on hand
you get to like, half a bottle and you say oh shit I better get some more of this before I run out
I prefer the Glenlivet, Glenfiddich or Glenmorangie over the Monkey Shoulder personally 🤔
@@GT-sj3si because monkey shoulder is a blend. It's shit Scotch.
bought the 1.75l the next time so I don't run out so soon
I have a sore spot in my heart for Lagavulin. I got sick after sipping it. Of course, I was in France and the Hotel bartender let me have free tastings of about 15 Scotches and Lagavulin was the last.
When you get puking drunk the body does not forgot. My father got drunk on Sloe Gin in college. Sixty years later he has never had it again.
I got puking drunk on dopplekorn in the FRG forty years ago. Just a smell of anything similar puts my stomach in vomit mode.
@@kirbyculp3449 when you puke, that means your body is fighting the poison)) Although my friends puke regularly and still drink the same garbage next weekend.
bought a Glenfiddich 12 a few years ago as one of my starter bottles. The floral taste is nice, but I'm not big on the thinly bodied earthy flavor. Thanks for the brief comparison to Glenlivet and Glenmorangie, added to my shopping list!
Love the channel guys. Im kindof addicted. Id love to see an episode where you guys both just give your top 5 whiskeys youve ever had
Unlike Arbeg cultists, Laphroaig legions work from the shadows.
And only Lagavulin angels are overseeing this pity (peaty?) scramble below from the skies.
Laphroaig 10 is the first "expensive" bottle I've bought. Love it
Man. I fuckin love Laphroaig. And here in Germany every now and then Amazon has really really good prices. The last bottle I got was the Laphroaig triple wood for 25€
Also. I have a square foot of land now apperantly 🙃
@@tolga1cool that is good. We have the select at £23 in the super market and £28 for the 10 year old
Buffalo Trace readily available here in Wisconsin. It is my go-to whiskey.
My local liquor store FINALLY started selling it! So excited to finally try it!
@@jasonbrinkmeier4588 Awesome! This was the whiskey that really got my tasting different notes as a beginner. I kept tasting Big League Chew bubble gum haha
It’s just a solid bourbon for a solid price
Can you send me some?
Glenfiddich 12 (the first scotch I ever tried) is the definition of accessible-in price and availability as well as an being an great introductory scotch. Grocery stores sell Glenfiddich 12 and I've spent more filling up my car's gas tank than a that first bottle of scotch.
Laphroaig is my favorite scotch distillery...the flavors from the 10 to the 25 and everything in between are GREAT IMO.
Laphroiag definitely beats Ardbeg, i like the oily brine
I love Buffalo Trace and have a really hard time finding it in Ms.
It’s pretty cute that Daniel figured out what a VPN is. It’s like watching your grandfather figure out what a “Tweet” is 😂
Saturday, September 5th, the day that the Marketing department at NordVPN discovers that Rex should not be permitted total creative control on their ads.
Dude, I didn't even *notice* the screw until Rex decided to point it out. And only because he said don't let it bother you is it now bothering me.
Thanks for including multiple categories
Never noticed those shiny things until now. Now can never unsee them...
I mainly clicked for Daniel in the Liberace Cape. Stayed for the whiskey
Really need to find a bottle of that Nord VPN, is that one available in the US?
That drink will channel your thought into a different place
Living and growing up in Kentucky, whiskey is like apart of "manhood" around here and can find it on every corner. Bourbon is not only easy to find when it comes to just about any type considering 80 percent is made here, it is also a way of life.
The one's on the south side of Chicago:
Redbreast 12 - been looking for 2.5 months to find, still can't. $70-80
Wild Turkey 101 - regularly on the shelves. ~$40
Monkey Shoulder - regularly available. $35-45
Laphroaig 10 - hit or miss depending on the store. Some have it regularly, some have it once in a while. $40-50
Ardbeg is the most intriguing whiskey I’ve tried. Some days it’s great! Other days it’s just too much.
I understand why rye wouldn't make this list -- you don't see it that often in bars. But it is a shame. A good rye can be just as much of a wild experience as an Islay scotch.
I totally agree 😁
There are a Lot of Ryes that are excellent and under $45....Scotch...not so much
I love Ryes. That peppery bite is fantastic. Redemption, Michter’s, Manifest. I could go on.
Great list. WT 101 is about the best value in bourbon. I can get it local for $19 and every time I have a glass I'm amazed how good it is. At most bars anywhere in the world even with a crappy selection, you can almost always find Jameson and JD Black - take the Jameson every time.
The creamy vault had me rolling!🤣 keep up the great shenanigans Rex.
Secret trick for availability: move to Kentucky. It’s lovely here!
Matthew Abel but then I’d have marry my cousin!
Dude I still can't find certain grails here... and THEY'RE MADE HERE! Though the variety is plentiful.
The last time I went to s liquor store I saw Ardbeg 10 for $50 and Laphroaig 10 for $61. I was surprised to see such a huge jump in price for Laphroaig.
It's the opposite for me. Laphroaig 10 is 45-50 with Ardbeg 50-60.
Interesting.
Laphroaig is 37 here and ardbeg 10 is 45.
I have noticed that here in Texas too.
Laphroaig 10 is over $60 but Ardbeg 10 is still only $50.
My last bottle of Bowmore 12 I bouhgt late last year for $50 and now it costs $68 in the same exact liquor store.
After the release of the Wee Beastie ($35), I suspect that Ardbeg is going to start raising their prices along with their Islay competitors very soon.
I suspect that by this time next year the 5 year Ardbeg Beastie will cost $50 and the Ardbeg 10 will cost between $60-70.
Sadly,.. I will still buy it anyway.
The glenmorangie discovery pack is a good "bang for your buck" introduction pack. Or if you want some variation on the cheap. So no surprise that glenmorangie made the list.
Watching these lists and looking forward to trying stuff..I can hear the timer on my liver about to detonate
Didn't realize Jackson Galaxy the cat guy was so into whiskey
Need help guys, being this video kinda noob friendly I tought I might ask:
I just started with whisk(e)y, I had about 6 in total, an easy bourbon was my second (wild turkey 81), right after a yamazaki 12.
Now, the point is not how much nicer was the yamazaki... rather the malt vs corn taste...
I din't like that corn taste that much...it's kinda pushing me away from bourbon, and I don't want that to happen.
I'm willing to try another couple of bourbons before giving up.
Maybe is just wild turkey, maybe corn can do better than that.
Any suggestions?
Perhaps try a wheated bourbon; I've often found they're less corn forward. Maker's Mark is pretty universally accessible, but Larceny and Rebel Yell are, I think, not impossible to find in many places
If you can find Buffalo Trace, I find that it's super approachable. Wild turkey 101 can be a little heavy handed in the cherry note in my opinion. If not Buffalo Trace maybe Elijah Craig if you're trying to keep it affordable
@@agiordano17 Thanks to you both guys I'll start with MM, it's easier to find... my goal at this point is to explore and find some kind of "favourite" in every category... if someone asks me what's my favourite bourbon, I'd hate to answer "none".
Green Spot is great, but Yellow Spot is a 12 year that is also very good. They’re both on the expensive side with $65 for Green and $120 for Yellow. Love me some Irish whiskey.
Buffalo Trace here in Oregon is easily found and runs at $25 a bottle.
for me, Ardbeg reminds me of the smell of your clothes after spending a few hours around a campfire
@Kesha Hardel that is so creepy
The ad.... dear lord, the ad....
Also, I have never seen Buffalo Trace in the wild.
Come to Texas haha
Wow, almost always on the shelf in CO
never see it in NC...
Dude, I live in KY and have trouble finding it at times. Most liquor stores I go to have a limit of 1 per person for Buffalo Trace. It is also a really good bourbon
Dear God, that ad... What has been seen can never be un-seen.
Also, yeah, I've never seen Buffalo Trace in person in northern Virginia. I can occasionally find Eagle Rare in 375ml bottles.
Seems like the bottle I end up rebuying is Oban, the 14. Here, at least it’s easy to find at Costco for a steal. $35 or so cheaper than BevMo. South SF Bay Area. I like it a lot, and the price at Costco makes it even better.
Angel's Envy Rye is a great whiskey that anyone can enjoy especially if you like maple syrup and marshmallowey notes and Caribbean rum aftertaste. Ryes are seriously underrated as well as straight/single malts. Woodford Reserve's straight malt is a great whiskey full of body and richness with a subtle sweetness on the front.
You can pour that angels envy on pancakes. Redemption does a good rum cask rye thats less expensive and less sweet. As far as accessible, good, affordable rye, I love Old Overholt. A great whiskey perfect for sazeracs
Green Spot is very loved & easy to find at bars/restaurants/liquor stores here in Cincinnati, Ohio... BUT Buffalo Trace is IMPOSSIBLE to find without going to Kentucky.
Limited quantities in Arkansas. Always find it in Missouri.
Hey, I’m a Cincinnati guy too! Most stores in NKY have it all the time. If you’re lookin to check out some local place I recommend Second Sight distillery in Ludlow. Cool little place that’s got its own coffee shop connected to the distillery.
That's madness. Can find it easily here in Ireland!
Allan Farrell don’t have to go too far to get to Kentucky from Cincinnati, just right across the river. Little inconvenient tho
Readily available in Michigan. Come on by!
My favourite whisk(e)y is the one I can find and afford.
Laphroaig Quarter Cask is one of my all-time favourite whiskys.
In Chicago, Buffalo Trace is very common. Although, the price is usually hit or miss. You can get it from the range of $18-$29
It's nice to see Frodo still wearing his elven cloak even after all this time...
I like Monkey Shoulder with a touch of Ardberg. Kicks up that smokey flavor....
This! And Naked Grouse with Ardbeg is also very good!
Wow! I can actually get ALL of these! Great episode men!
Love the videos guys!
You should do a top scotch whisky by region video. Top Islays, top highlands and so on
I know Rye didn’t make a strong showing but I will stand by Bulleit Rye as a very accessible and good quality whiskey
I cant stand bulleit products. They feel so thin and one dimensional to me. I havent purchased a rye, only high rye bourbons, but im curious about redemption rye
Ok, so first up... Creamy Vault needs to be a thing. Secondly, we need more Ooooogdaahl. That is all.
I see you’re a man of taste and sophistication. Undoubtedly, your own cream collection must be impressive.
its not ab-ig-inol-Ee, not abig-Nail-Ee, its Abignaile
Came for the whiskey, left satisfied with the creamy vault
I mean I have some double cream in the fridge right now, but my hand cream collection is woefully lacking I'm afraid. Maybe I need to watch more of the Creamy Vault to help educate me as to how to build out my collection.
I have a history with bourbon and love a particular Jamison when I can afford it. However, I started drinking scotch a couple years ago and have had some fairly expensive scotches, but the expensive ones I've tried are usually too smokey for mt taste. But so far 8 like cheap scorched like J&B and Dewars.
There's this thing I found happened to me where I tried an Islay that worked for me and all of a sudden I punched thru the smoke wall and now I can barely taste it in most of the run-of-the-mill islays
@@danculp3136 ive found the medicinal smell of Laphroaig 10 fades as i acclimated and smells smokier which i like. if the medicinal taste fades too ill probably enjoy it alot more.
I'd go a step above wild turkey, and recommend Russel's reserve 10 year. Aliso readily available in my area at least and under 30.
You glorious, weird bastards. I tried skipping the ad and wound up in the middle of the hand cream vault bit and said "OK I clearly missed something." and needed context and had to go back to the start of the ad.
just did the exact same thing, glorious bastards
Ardbeg 10 vs Laphroaig 10 is a battle for the ages and I'd be happy to get caught in the crossfire
I like ardbeg, but im not willing to pay the marketing. The NAS ardbeg whiskys are to expensive in my opinion.
Out of all the Nord VPN ads I've seen, that was certainly one of them.
Would appreciate your help with choosing whiskey. I want to buy my first islay scotch. Never had a sip of that category of scotch before and am really interested. Problem is that it is very hard to find some whiskeys where I live (To put it in the perspective - I had to search everywhere for 3 months to get a single bottle of Powers).
I finally found a place where they sell Islay scotch and I have three choices
Laphroaig Four Oak,
Lagavulin 8 yo,
Ardbeg 10 yo
Which one would be the recommendation from these three as a first smoky scotch bottle? From the price standpoint Ardbeg wins but I'm willing to spend a little more too.
Every time I try Wild Turkey 101, I end up ready to fight. -dirty bird.
Ahh #bulbdeep
A truly lawless time in the tribe 😂
The Glenfiddich 12, 15 and 18 were my entry into the whisky world!
Being a whiskey fan in the US mustbe expensive as hell if I listen to you guys. Except for the craft stuff, I can get pretty much everything you guys review home delivered on the next day for about 60% of the price. Lagavulin 16 is 60€ , Ardbeg range is about 35€ for the 10 to 65€ for the Corry.
Can't take him anywhere. Can't dress him up either.🤣🤣🤣
I love Ardbeg. Its safely in my top 5. But for an accessible smoky scotch I would grab Talisker 10. I also hope, that Ledaig 10 will get more attention. Its nearly as smoky as Ardbeg. Yet its sweeter and much more pleasant for everyday drinking. Btw Kilkerran 12 is also an amazing mildly smoky scotch. But I dont know, how much is that one available in the US.
You are spot on the money with Ledaig 10. Definitely less accessible, can be troublesome to find even in Scotland!!
It’s funny that this came out today with Green Spot right out the door. I was at the Class 6 (military alcohol store) and two gentlemen were looking at the scotch section and didn’t know which scotch to choose and off the bat I told them my go to was Green Spot; they took my advice and I took my own advice and grabbed me another bottle... oh by the way they had plenty of Yellow Spot however I already have one in my collection.
I think all of these I’ve poured out of a bottle. Currently have many of them under work as well... or just finished (I keep about a handful of bottles open at a time...)
Love the creamy vault Scottish presenter.....you're lucky us Scots have a sense of humour or one could have taken offense to such shenanigans!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Indeed. Any people that enjoy top shelf ball busting are good people.
I’m in the league of Laphroaig
Nice. Your next upgrade is to Lagavulin 16...
lol.
I've never tasted a drop of whisk(e)y in my life, but I can't get enough of this channel. It's so good.
Reason?
I was really surprised by the Buffalo trace not being the common for y’all. The second y’all said I i looked over at the 2 bottles I just bought today 😂
the creamy vault!!!!!!!!!! omg!!! the best!
