Great list. Didn't put a foot wrong there. Best whisky I've had was a Hazelburn Oloroso 14. The thing tasted of soot and berries. Incredible combination.

Had a good serving of Edradour last year in Berlin, sadly I wasn't in the state to make a reliable assessment of the quality. Good times. Must try it again. Oh, and I love the 3 word summaries! That is so helpful.

Hi G Good list sir 👍 Love the GT and Glen Garioch also have a a couple of GG 17 year old Renaissance which are absolute beauty’s . Keen to try the Benriness . Great channel 👍🥃🥃

I love the Caledonia, but you're right, it is intense and something you need to be in the right mood/setting for. For me, that setting is a cool day with friends, like at Thanksgiving or Christmas. It just says "Holidays" to me.

Am American. They do not sell the Flora and Fauna line in the United States. Once again, a man after my own heart. I started on Glenlivet in the scotch space around 2017 and came to realize well after the fact that I really really like their base distillate. I think it's got loads of potential. I also grudgingly respect their existing barrel program given their production size. They manage to do a lot (relatively speaking) given how many barrels they have to go through. And yeah, love their Illicit Still bottles. Also, it's not a craft presentation, but they have a Glenlivet 12 First Fill, cousin to their standard 12 that is a travel retail exclusive. I managed to pick that up in a regular store during the early pandemic and yeah, it too is good and far better presentation of the 12.

Lovely list G, Recently got into Benromach organic after watching whiskymystry’s visit. Wowser, like a unicorn humping a beaver.. plus found misspriced at my local CoOp…

Keep it going, Geoff! Maybe a "filthiest" list? To me, that's funky, farmy, dirty, sherried, and heavy on the peat, and maybe on the younger side. Just...filthy stuff. Or maybe we need a list of "naughty" whiskies, whatever that might mean. Perhaps a list for "farmiest" or whiskies that are just the most "funky." Maybe a nod to the best that are just youthful--those that might be the most "precocious" expressions, then. Or a list of the "most complex" whiskies? Or "most challenging"? Looks like you're having a lot of fun with these lists. Much appreciated!

Wonderful series Geoff!! I’m thinking you need a “unique sherry/peat combo list”……..please.

Hi Geoff, excellent list video. Had a few IB Glenlivet’s in first fill sherry butts, all been good. Also Glendronach deserve a shout the earlier 15’s, my bottle was from 2014, lovely olorosso matured malt.Used to be a Benriach 12 sherry wood before it was discontinued,that was a wonderful malt. And of course Benromach CS bottles, excellent whisky. Slàinte Geoff.

Interesting list. I had to hunt for the Glenturret 12, but it was worth it. I would also suggest Tamdhu 15.

Despite not my preferred type of whisky, still an interesting list. Up front I expected GlenDronach, Glengoyne, Tamdhu and Aberlour to show up, but you surprised me. Thanks for sharing, Geoff. Slàinte mhath

Good list. Benromach is a favorite. I’m still on the lookout for an Edradour. No Flora & Fauna here, but I did find an IB Benrinnes in San Francisco not long ago. Pretty good. Be on the lookout for Glen Scotia 8 peated PX from 2022 Campbeltown Festival. Tasty stuff. Cheers.

I have never tried GlenGarioch whisky. Based on your experience sounds quite interesting... Do love rest of your list... Great Choices... I would also add Laphroaig 10yo sherry and Speyburn 15/18 nice drops.... Thanks

Yay another list from my fav. whiskytuber! I would have put Mortlach on the 'dirty list' tho. Crazy how Edradour could have made all three lists lol I agree that's nuts. That stuff is bordering on syrup! I would throw Bladnoch in the ring. Bunnahabhain also delivers a very distinctive sherried dram unlike any other, as you know. Cheers mate!

New viewer here. Great list. And thank you for mentioning Benrinnes, especially as a sherried whisky. I see them as indie bottles mostly (SMWS versions the most often). Keep up the good work.

I believe that Springbank 12 is predominantly Bourbon matured (depending on the batch) The 15 on the other hand is always 100% Sherry matured. And, yes! Glen Garioch 15. Again Geoff, we fully agree. It is so very good and nobody never mention that one.

I love Your videos, would be great if You record sometimes some IB too. Maybe this kind of list format would fit it, I know 99% people will do not have access to same IB, but it would be very interesting to see what You have access to here in Taiwan.

There’s the Edradour! I just picked up a bottle of the 12yr so great timing. Keep on milking these lists they have been fun. Didn’t see Glen Garioch coming but I get it. Would love to find a bottle of the Benromach Cask Strength but alas they are hard to find. As far as the Glenlivet goes I have had 2 different bottles of the Signatory Cask Strength and both were great. Cheers!

Excellent list again! Edradour is my favorite from this list followed by Springbank. Just opened my first Glenturret 12 ever so let’s see what that is about. Cheers

Love these Geoff 🙂 Never thought I'd see you pick a Glen Garioch haha. the Edradour though is class, also the Signatory 10, rock and roll, enjoy mate.

Milk the theme man, I would!😅 Funny enough the only Springbank 12 I have is the 100% Bourbon batch. I usually think of the Springbank 15 when I think about Sherried Springbank, but that's probably because I don't have those great sherried 12's. Cheers 🥃

I’ve got that Glenlivet. 3 of them. Great video as always. Take care.❤️

Another solid list, hard to argue with any of them Actually seeing these lists really make me happy in the sense that we actually have really good OB whiskies out there. It's easy to get gloomy and talk about the heydays of whisky but we still have fantastic drams out there. This is a good way to celebrate them, cheers Geoff!

Hi mr.Geoff ! Good list , i like ) Cheers !

Springbank is easy to find in Sweden. If you buy either a 31, 24 or 21 year old Springbank and pay anything from 3000 euro to 900 euro....................................

Hello Geoff, again a very informative Video from you with a little 😜. My best Sherry Whisky so far was an OB of Longrow 13 Single Cask. Unfortunately it was about 8 Years ago. (When you could get a Springbank if you want AND for a fair Price.😅 But Times have changed and in the last 2 Years the Best Sherried Dram i had was a 21yo Glentauchers (IB from G+M) 1999-2021 matured in a First Fill Sherry Hogshead. Thanks for your good Work and Greets from Germany 😎🤘

List videos are always fun

Missesd Glendronach cask strenght...beautiful whisky..!

Wow, I feel like you hit the nail on the head with that Glenlivet description. I’ve actually always been a fan of Glenlivet, but their commercialization and neutering has always put me down. I really love the Illicit Still, and I’m so glad you highlight the IBs as well as their ‘capacity for quality’ 👌

Interesting list !!! Just a suggestion.. it would be of great help for a newbies like me if you could mention the degree of Sherry influence or the intensity of Sherry in the particular whisky just the we measure the level of peatiness with PPM.. May be, You can mention the Sherry intensity on a scale of 1 to 10..

7:55 I have been looking for this bottle forever

Had an ex-girlfriend named Sherry. She was smokey. Not in a hot way, but more like being spit out directly from hell. She also had mudflaps that could rival a semi truck. Those meat curtains could be the batwing! Damn you Sherry!

The Springbank 12. Ah. If only it were available…at a decent price. I have one opened and another for who knows when. Saw one last year in the wild for $200. I Passed. Wish I had more Ibs. The Flora and Fauna is confirmed, not sold in the states. Btw should I buy a Dailiuane ? Not sure if I spelled it correct. It’s supposedly discontinued. Got some Edradour 10 unchilfiltered and the 12 yr CS ibisco bottles. Also have unopened a Glenturret 12 2021. Missed out on the maiden release. I had it in the cart too. 😩. Anyhow good hunting out there!

A good list my friend but somewhat contradictory. I thought it was going to be unique (different) sherry cask stuff aka Benromach/Springbank so I was somewhat surprised to find a regulation sherry bombs like Glenturret and Edradour in the mix.

Wilson and Morgan - Benrinners 2011 PX Sherry finish vol. 46% - a possible Benrinners alternative.

3:19 I hear that a lot, that Benromach is the Spingbank alternative, and as a somewhat experienced Benromach sipper, I don't get it. It's absolutely nothing like springbank and couldnt even compare if its life depended on it. That said, Benromach is still pretty good!

I would add Tamdhu as my got to sherry bottles these days. The batch strength is nice, but the regular 12 is often discounted to really good value prices and one I try to keep on hand to entice friends who like wine but are a little scared off by Whisky. This list adds a few things to me 'things to watch out for and try' list.

I knew the Glen Garioch would be in there somewhere. Great distillery. Just got a 10yo with Amarone finish. Wonder what that will be like.

Hard to find but Hazelburn Sherry is amazing

Great list!

DO NOT MENTION EDRADOUR ANYMORE!!! everybody’s gonna want to buy it, prices go up and it will be hard to get……Stop talking about it! It’s my precious…. My precious…..

My brother, my homie, my main man, you need to do a list for 7 unique world whiskies 😅

Great video. Personally I miss Glendronach and Glenallachie in the list. 👍

Great list Geoff! Actually Im currently looking for a nice Sherried 12 year old to replace my Aberlour 12 NCF once Im done with it so this came at a perfect time! I will probably go with Glen Garioch 12 next. I like to have a few Sherried expressions in my collection. Right now the Glendronach 18 is my crown jewel but it will be replaced by the Glenturret 12 and the Tamdhu 15 hand in hand. I know they are different from the Glendronach but I figured those two together cover a nice range from the Sherried category and the quality/value ratio more worth it to me personally. Thanks for the great list again and looking forward to the next one! Slainte 🥃🥃

Like the Edradour and Glenturret -good abv and not difficult to find.,

Hmmm...What happened to GlenDronach? Not 'unique' enough? I'm one of those suggesting Glen Garioch to any who will listen. You touched on Mortlach and Edradour, which are both on my 'to buy' list thanks to you and FirstPhil, but right now, I'm in a space bind and acquisition will have to wait until after I draw down from the selection. I'm now going to have to trial the Glenturret 12, too, because I have the peated 10. I also picked up a bottle of Glenlivet Illicit Still on the basis of reviewers pointing out that this is a variant from their usual fare; it has yet to be opened. Thanks for all the enlightened input. !

Good to see Gran Garioch but what? Where's Glendronach? Tamdhu?

I was going to say you're a mainstream hack but you pulled out a really nice list. Isn't it an oxymoron though? To be unique in a catagory? Never seen any flora and fauna here in the metro NYC area. Funny though, the Benrinnes I have is a 7 year bourbon cask. Since whisky is made in the cask it took me the last 3 years to even accept that sherry was any better than a mask or overcoat. The Stranahan's sherried was the worst. It might have gotten better but it really seemed like you had to push away the fruit to get to the malt. My reluctant journey started with the Balvenie 15 and then went straight thru the CS versions of Aberlour, Tamdhu, GlenAllachie, kavalan and a couple of Americans. Totally awesome! If it's done well the sensation is as intense as peat or sublte like a flickering candle in the dark. I do think that the signatory owned highland distillery is one that should not be named. I missed out on the one you showed here twice and on a really well priced backup Signatory 10 year old. Absolutely astonishing dirty sweet unexpected flavors. I have a few trophy bottles that are Oloroso matured , CS and age stated. I'm sure their uniqueness will be something. I think my next trophy purchase will be an Oloroso CS Ballechin 12 year. Its priced the way Springbank LB used to be.

OK, I would have tried to sneak a Glendronach and a Glenallachie in the there. Did you mention Arran 18 already? :)

These lists are great but if you can’t get them here in the US it is kinda hard to back what you are saying about them. I’m a scotch drinker in fact let’s just go with I enjoy all spirits. And I certainly would enjoy something new but it has to be available. I don’t watch videos on unicorns anymore I’m not going to get one so I’m not interested in what it’s like to drink let alone pay the secondary market price they are asking. My local store has a decent selection but the hard to get juice is never coming through their door. Enjoy!!

Dalmore has also very good Sherry casks like the 18 years old.

I seriously dislike Glenturret. The one bottle of 12 I tried was horrid, almost felt like it would catch fire in my belly. Over-the-top funky too. Might have caught a bad one, but I just prefer to go for the Edradour Caledonia nowadays when I'm in a sherry friendly mood.

Are you planning a Kilchoman Cognac Cask review?

I don't really like Sherry whiskey's or maybe I haven't found mine yet

GlenAllachie , Glendronach 👍

What does dirty mean?

glenallachie 15 ??

Hello,Geoff!-just wondering if youve done a review of Glenallachie 2007 single cask,15yrs,@57.2abv?,Fantastic2 sherried whisky!,more power on your channel!
