Again, I'm not getting through the whisky as quickly as usual due to less visitor traffic/sharing opportunities during lockdown. Still, I'm doing pretty well don't you think?
As usual here's the link to the spreadsheet with all the Recycled Scores to date: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
It includes links to "jump" straight to the point in the video where that whisky is covered.
Don't listen to one man's opinion!

I always love these recycled reviews Roy, I find it to be a real education, but an education from the heart. I love all things Kilkerran and I personally think that the 'Stiuireadair' from Bunnahabhain is as good a supermarket centric release as any, if you can get it on offer for £25. My go to blend this year is 'Naked Grouse', but the whisky that has affected my liver the most this year is Glen Scotia. The 15 is my favourite and I love the Victoriana too. Great revue as always, and all the best for 2021.

Absolutely fantastic review. I'm glad you have not been shy to devote 37 minutes and not been tempted to edit it down. Every minute was interesting and enjoyable. *Laphroaig 10* Yes, I agree that the 10 is watered down and is oh so frustrating for the likes of me and you to drink. As mentioned before, I ordered at great expense, the Laphroaig Cask Strength Batch 12 from London and got walloped by a huge Customs charge, but it was worth it! Delicious stuff. However, I know quite a few guys here in Israel who love the standard bottling and practically drink nothing else. They enjoy the funky taste and the fact that you can pour it from the bottle into the glass, add ice, drink neat, whatever. As annoying as it sounds, there are loads of people out there that just love the presentation of Laphroaig 10. In a recent Zoom tasting evening, I presented a heavily peated Israeli single malt called "Yerushalmi," which I think is amazing, yet the same guys who love their Laphroaig 10, went out and bought it and complained that it was far too intense for them, even with water. What I would say is, by all means, keep the 10 at 40% abv, but give us a core range bottling with an age statement, bottled at 46% abv or more. (And don't tell me about the Quarter Cask! It's far too young and crude, with unpleasant plastic-y notes). *Glencadam 10* is a truly excellent single malt as we have discussed before. Here in Israel it isn't cheap, selling for 260 shekels (£60). I too try to always have a bottle available. *Bowmore* core range releases are, as you say, presented as the Islay whisky equivalent of the lowest common denominator. This is a shame as they are capable of producing some smashing whiskies. I bought a Tempest V Cask Strength 55.9% abv 10 YO last year which I thoroughly enjoyed but have not seen the bottle here again. I would readily buy that if I saw it on shelves. *Teaninich* as well as Benrinnes are two exceptional under the radar distilleries. Every independent bottling of these two malts which I have tried have been something really special. I have two bottles of the Signatory Benrinnes 1996 bottling on its way to me. *Deanston* I havened tried this but is it as bad as you make out? How does that Kentucky Cask Supermarket compare with say, the Glen Moray Classic? Yes, I agree that it should have been 43% abv but you don't think that it could act as a gateway bottle for casual drinkers into the Deanston world? I also kind of see the point of a Non Age Statement here, as speaking to people who buy these types of bottles, had they put a 6 Year-Old-8 Year Old age statement on it, this would put off many who would judge it as young harsh (in other words, not "smooth") whisky. Not having an age statement keeps them blissfully in the dark. Yes, I know that sounds pathetic to our ears, but that's how many people think. *Catto's* Blended Whisky. Wow, I have never heard of it and certainly never seen this in Israel. I looked this up. The fact that it states that it is matured both in Bourbon and Sherry casks, I would have to omit it from my whisky purchase choice on Kashrus grounds. I have never got into Bourbon and can barely tolerate Elijah Craig. Rather like much of American culture, it is all over smothering, everything coming all at once, over the top and ultra sickly sweet like trying to eat a gallon tub of caramelised popcorn. Most Bourbons have as much subtlety and depth as the average American TV show. *Kilkerran* produces wonderful whisky. I really enjoyed the 8 Year Old Bourbon Cask matured release and went round Jerusalem and Tel Aviv buying up bottles. I still have two bottled left. I would love to get to know Springbank products more but their obsession with sherry and wine casks rather preclude this. The sound effects on the tiny wheelly bin were brilliant. However, I'd watch out for that whisky drinking mouse you seem to have in your house who drinks those 1 cc bottles.

Hi Reb, great contribution for the community here and I see we more or less agree. Great you're enjoying Teaninich too - it's a little like Diageo's Caol Ila, it's very rare to find anything other than solid. Sometimes they're exemplary. You'll notice the slight mistake that the mouse never actually drank anything form those ("full") bottles thrown away!

@@Aqvavitae Ha Ha. I actually bought a gift box set of 1cc "Smallest whisky bottles in the World" consisting of a bottle of Glengoyne, Glen Grant, Grants, Whyte and MacKay, and Islay Mist about 3 years ago? I had them at the back of my cocktail cabinet. About six months ago I found them, still upright in the sealed gift box, but all the whisky had gone! Whisky ghost thieves or those pesky angels from Scotland? Despite having a plastic stopper on them, it seems all the whisky had evaporated. At least it proves there was real whisky in the bottles in the first place.

When I saw the fake snow at the beginning, I thought, "He's not going to leave that uncommented upon, is he?" And then you sent it upwards and did the reveal. Great humour, Roy, deft touch. So many enjoyable bottles in this '"batch", but I'll just quickly comment on the Kilkerran "Peat in Progress" series. I've been comparing Batch 2 and 3 recently and have been very impressed with what both offer, especially when you consider how young these bottlings are (3 to 4 years). To me, they're already giving some Islay malts a run for their money. Can't wait for the following batches. They're definitely doing something that Longrow isn't - and they're doing it at affordable prices! So credit to Mitchell & Co down there in Campbeltown. Keep up the great work, Roy - and "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!" Cheers.

Roy new to your channel and love this recycled format. I was able to try that Bimber as my brother was an early adopter and was so gave me a sample of it and their new make. I thought it was good, but the price does not sit well with me. I’m also familiar with Bookers. When I lived in the US I remember buying it for $50 a bottle. Alas the price has now gone up both side of the Atlantic. Great drink and shows what Jim Beam has to offer beyond the familiar white label. I grew up with Scotch, but my time in the US really opened my eyes to the quality bourbon that is out there. You’ve certainly given me some ideas of what to go for next.

Number 12 already! Halfway through, I thought : no Roy, you can't juggle 2 bottles. Then you end up juggling 3. Loved the catbomb too (barleybomb ?). Very good and balanced selection. You might have guessed I would have rated the KK heavily peated a tad higher, and I am enjoying batch 3 even more than batch 2. Thanks for more than 36 informative, enjoyable and witty minutes! And yes, hail Ebbhead
@Aqvavitae
@Aqvavitae 3 жыл бұрын
I know Aeror, the KK HP possibly does deserve a little higher, and batch 3 is shaping up nicely. I think it doesn't do well sipped along side (admittedly more mature) Islay releases, it seems to bring out the farmyard and younger side of it, but it's growing on me. The other KKs hook me from the shoulder of the bottle down. Also, I didn't do such a great job of juggling this time, not just my first but also my second bottle drop. And finally, yes - all hail our boy Rolf. Our Ebbhead!

Interesting review as usual, an this time even braver review to make it...without gloves...👏 I felt for you but was reassured when I saw you had sometimes some "funky fuel" left along with those bottles 🤣 I have to admit I haven't touched your Kilkerran 8 yo Sherry cask sample yet, saving it for a review along with the Bourbon one (both sample gifts so this will come into my new "Friendly Samples Reviews", a non definitive title, mind you videos I will start soon, having received a lot of samples lately I have to find a way to try them in a relaxed & grouped way...). I noticed I definitively have to check Rock Island 21 yo & Timorous Beastie 18 yo i still don't have in my collection...I loved the quick appareance of a lovely neighbourhood cat, btw 🐱 Slainte, Roy & see you soon in a vPub...😉
