I have not had that door crasher, but I continue to enjoy the regular 15. Just hits where I enjoy it, especially at the price I can still get it. Thanks for sharing

Who knew we needed a higher abv 15... but we absolutely do! This is similar to my TWE Glenfarclas 15 video where I pick the higher abv one as well, Shocker I know! Great head to head Matt and cool story about the doorcrasher. Cheers!

Great episode. GFC-15 used to be very oily with that "pencil shavings" aroma, darker late Summer fruits . . . better cask for sure. Some time 2018 depleted stocks of GFC-17 and -21 allows GFC to concentrate on the 15 and 25, and 17/21 may not return until 2025-26... In Ontario, GFC15 2021 batch sold for 105$, then ... whoop ... 175$ now with new 2024 release, sadly. I prefer the 17, but the 25 (270 $CA) was best : it has a similar nose to the GFC-40 , donkey years ago (2004) at 600$CA/bottle !..

Great review of Glenfarclas Matt. I love the 15 as it offers nutty chocolatey not overpowering sherry to my palate and it's at 46%. Great story on that KWM doorcrasher. I always wanted to grab a 25 year old for stashing it so I cringed forking over $275 for it pre-pandemic and now it's at $500 in Ontario but looking back it seems, it was a great purchase.

Great H2H.There are a few stores that have the 15 for $105 to $108. The last one I got there was 71 and very good. Farclas has turned into Macallan in Ontario price wise so I have moved on. I wish the shipping option from KWM was not such a logistical pain in the butt.

Great review, as usual! Speaking of batch variation, I have an upcoming review that really highlights that… and not in a good way 😅 I have been eyeing that KWM bottle and may go for it now. Cheers, Matt!

15 is definitely a fav of mine. I am really getting upset with all the price increases. My only thought is that they are cutting supplies into Canada and USA to focus on the EU. The prices don’t seem to be spiking too much in the UK and Germany and they are push out multiple special releases each year. My answer is the 105. Still sub 100 in Alberta and able to stretch the cask strength with water. I find it as good as the 15 with a bit of a kick. The KWM 15 is something I would love to try out if you know anyone who can help a brother out. Awesome shoot out Matt. Cheers and great review of both. Cheers man.

15 was never available in the US. You can still find the 15 for $105 in Alberta, but those stores charge Ontario tax and we all know the shipping costs are brutal to Ontario. KWM is a bit of a pain when it comes to shipping .

Consider doing a video on some of the Turntable blends sometime! I did the KWM virtual tasting and some of them were great

With us in the middle of a move I decided to catch up on that same KWM Turntable tasting instead of doing videos for them. I was really impressed! Track 3 Purple Haze Track 1 Joy, Discovery, Invention and the Starward Collab were my favourites. I'd love to own all 3 but if it was just one I would probably pick up the Starward Collab simply down to how unique it was while still being enjoyable. Hope to feature them on the channel in the future as well. Did you have any standouts from the tasting?

@@whiskyonthewestcoast , I really enjoyed the Purple Haze! I still haven’t tasted the Starward Collab. Working my way slowly through the samples
