Evan from KWM here - Great video!
It will come as no surprise that we at Kensington Wine Market are big fans of indie bottlings.
Nothing beats diving nose first into a Glencairn glass with a small batch or single cask whisky, hopefully at cask strength. What excites me is the new and different - not going back to the same 40% or 43% bottling over and over again.
The consistency of the official 12 year and 18 year Official Bottlings can be comforting to return to, but they cannot eclipse the thrill of jumping into a limited one-off single-cask Indie Bottling for the first (and maybe last) time.
Thanks Evan! Agreed! Some OBâs are better than others for experienced maltheads but store pics and indie selections at a store where you know whoâs picking âem is always the catâs meow. I have a small cache of your store cask releases in Winnipeg.
Cheersđ„đ„đ„đ„

Basically love Independent bottles. Even when they are not great, they often give a chance to taste the distillate a different way. Glad this one had some great "whisky only" notes that hit your brain just right! Love waxy tropical notes too. Cheers!
Hi Jon! Iâve only had one dud, but it was $50 for 500ml - not terrible, not great, but actually still worth the price! Cheers brotherđ„đ„đ„đ„
This was the first time in 6 or 7 months that I got a notification for a new vid, even though Iâm signed up for all notifications. Glad I got this one!
Hi Jerry! Thanks for watching. Yes, the notifications arenât perfect. Itâs definitely a bone of contention among creators! Next review already recorded and will start editing today. Big cheersđ„đ„đ„đ„
What a beauty!! Terrific scotch and an amazing review/thoughts Mark! Very enjoyable!! đ
Thanks so much Christine! Really appreciate it. Cheersđ„đ„đ„đ„
@@WhiskyWhistle I really appreciate you Mark! Are you in Korea now or Winnipeg? I hope your health is back in top form! Happy summer!! đ
5:19 Mark! Dude! You're too young to be having a senior moment! đ Good on ya for leaving that in the edit - it shows you've got self confidence and a good sense of humor.
About the whisky - big fan of Glen Scotia here. I've tried their Double Cask, 15yo and Victoriana and find all of them to be very good Scotch at good value. I haven't had this or any other a IB Glen Scotia, but I've had a number of other IBs and they've all been good, with a few of them being truly outstanding. Last year I found an SMOS bottling of a 12yo cask strength Highland Park that is the best HP I've ever tasted PLUS it was just $95.00, which was a steal considering the quality. Scotch aficionados who haven't delved into independent bottlings are missing out on some excellent spirit, and this 22yo Glen Scotia sounds like one of the real winners!
Hi Paul! Haha yes you said it! Definitely try to laugh about my own quirksâŠof which there are many!! I should probably write up a loose scriptđ€Ł
That HP sounds like a dream. And I agree with your comments - itâs as if the big shops, the bars, the whisky festivals all set up the newbies for a good 5-10 years of brand loyalty. I suppose itâs also like walking in a strange town at night without a mapâŠbefore smartphones came out. Indies are anti marketing almost.
My next purchase in Korea might be a bottle of Hepburns Choice, maybe a Benrinnes. Still $100 USD here but other than Talisker 10 and Ardbeg 5 at $50 and 45 here, everything is $100 and up.
Cheersđ„đ„đ„đ„
@@WhiskyWhistle Oh, that HP really was a dream - it was stated on the label as being matured in a sherry butt that yielded around 630 bottles if I recall correctly. It must have had a considerable amount of wine still in the barrel, as the color of the whisky was unusually dark and opaque. I'm not really a fan of most sherry bombs, but this one was incredibly rich and really complimented the Highland Park's spirit. I'm going to keep an eye out for any more SMOS bottlings that show up!
@paulm749 truly sounds fantastic. SMOS Ledaig in my next video!
Hi Mark. Whatâs shaking. Doin fine here. Quite busy so less comments. Sorry bout that. Wow Glen Scotia. Huge fan. The best Campbeltown can offer.
Hi Gerrit! Maybe thatâs good as Iâm recording lessđ€Łđ€Ł same, some utter gems among the indie bottlers and the OBâs are excellent and consistent!
Alls well here - itâs great being back! The only thing that sucks is the price of whisky.
Cheers budđ„đ„đ„đ„
@@WhiskyWhistle prices these days are sky high. Even here in the Netherlands. But what can you do. Buy less. First getting rid of the older stock. Stopped counting the bottles. Takes all day by mu guess. But cheers. Im never disappointed by any independent bottling. I like the Ultimate very much and Beek whisky. Both from the Netherlands. Please do some research. Interesting stuff. Slainthe.
@gerritgreveling good call. Drink the older stock and buy less. Thanks for mentioning those! Iâll check them out!! đ„đ„đ„đ„
@@WhiskyWhistle youâre welcome brother. Hope u can find them. Since youâre on the other side of the world. Indeed some research first. The Haran cask matured thats something. Kicks like a mule. Cheers
Very good review Mark. Love the opinions. Your thoughts seem very spot on. đ„đ
Hi Ron! Really appreciate that my friend. Cheersđ„đ„đ„đ„đ„
@@WhiskyWhistle Hi Mark! Youâre most welcome. I truly enjoyed the review.
I hope everythingâs going well for you in Korea.
Winnipeg lost a pretty good guy in my opinion when you left so I suppose Korea gained one. đ
@ronaldbeerguy so far so good here! And what a compliment! Hopefully Iâll be back once or twice or more a year eventually.
@@WhiskyWhistle nice. You take care!
Yes, buy more indies - for sure, especially G&M (soon to stop . . .). Distillers bottlings will always be around, for fun + variety : indies !
Great call Timothy! My sentiments exactly!
Cheers TTTđ„đ„đ„đ„
nice review! did you like the Rocky movies? (on account of your dogs name)
Hi @jonathanbender7347 thanks for the comment - you bet I did! Was too young to see Rocky and Rocky II in the theatre but saw Rocky III & IV with my dad. When we took the pup home he would play with my hand as if he were doing speed bag work. Hence the name!
Cheersđ„đ„đ„đ„
@@WhiskyWhistle thats awesome! I love those movies too! Cheers.
