The most expensive bottle i have bought was Glen Scotia 25. I bought it for my 25th birthday. It costs 500 euros now but when i bought it it was 300 and i got it for 250. Expensive but it was truly amazing.

Thank you for the video. I really enjoy a good Irish Whiskey. I have a Bushmill 16, and have tried the Redbreast 21, which was so fruity. To bad they are so expensive. My most expensive bottle is a rum, Ron del Barrilito 5 Stars

Most expensive I’ve bought is a tie at $299. Muckety Muck 26 year single grain scotch and Weller Full Proof store pick. Funny enough, both bottles heavily feature butterscotch flavors and light fruit. Dude, great review, and you are quite fortunate to have sampled these. I also love sherry aged whiskies, particularly Px sherry. I think your use of tannic makes sense. I’ve used it for certain Chinese teas where I can taste a bit of the skin of a fruit, specifically one where the essence is fermented out.

Hi Bill, I am SO excited I got to see this review today! I'm actually invited to the launch event for these bottlings in Nuremberg, Germany tomorrow and am really looking forward to it. Master Blender Alex Thomas will be there, too, so hopefully there will be lots to learn 🤗 Thank you for this video, I really enjoyed it 💐

Most expensive, if you don't count shipping costs, but I got Signet around 170 bucks in 2021. Since then I got Bardstown Founders Cask and a single barrel Kilchoman (Fred Minnick pick) around the same price. Plus or minus 10 from there. I can't remember. Otherwise I rarely spend or have spent over 100 on a bottle.

I’m jealous, could only dream of buying the 30-year-old. The most expensive bottle I’ve ever bought was at a silent auction for charity, Amorik 14yr for AU$400 but it did come with a Glen cairn glass

@eviltrain24 Жыл бұрын

I don't fully know how I should honestly feel about those prices. There is a store near me that buys their own barrel picks from Scotland every year and I can expect NAS~30yr age statements from them for between $40 to $400 bucks. Having that knowledge and expectation... I have to think that Bushmill's is looking at the hype/FOMO portion of the current whiskey buying public with $$$$ in their eyes. The older whisky gets, the more expensive they get but the price accelerates WAAAY faster than the age statement. That truism has gone into hyperdrive in the last couple years.

@TheWhiskeyDictionary Жыл бұрын

Thats why I had such a hard time straight recommending either of these. How does one recommend a whiskey worth over two grand?

Right around 12:33 you get to watch a man fall in love. Bill: "I'm sorry, honey, I have to leave you, I've found someone else." Bill's wife: "What?! But...who?!" Bill: "Bushmill's 30 year-old."

I must say, too many peeps are transfixed on whisk(e)ys - as drinks ; I say, explore - for the same price range, one can get a 50yo COgnac or Armagnac, or a 50 yo RUM (El Dorad, Appleton... you will NEVER come back! )

@@raftonpounder6696 funny story. My wife bought me 21yo for my 50th birthday 4 years ago as well 😅 still have dram or two in the bottle. To be honest i expected more after delicious 16yo( my faviurite). This 16yo i have bought on tour u 2010 for £43. It was w time. Nothing to compare with todays bottlings. Hope you enjoyed these two. 😁🥂🙋🏻‍♂️
