This is what I call a life saver. Thank you!

buffalo trace is the name im almost sure but thanks for the time stamps buddy much appreciated

@@havocsreign8710 edited for future drinkers, thanks! XD

Time stamps - you’re appreciated.

Thank you

just not any of that top shelf stuff of yours!

Scotch Test Dummies lol ya right look at those shelves you have.

they do some wonderful stuff!

i'd even throw Makers Mark and Elijah Craig Small batch into the argument. Both good whiskies, available in any store, and around $25!

thanks Erik! Your list was great! Love a scotch in Scotland!

thanks Jason!

thanks Mick!

thanks for the awesome comment! Scott

awesome! thanks kerino1!

or half full! thanks Juan.

its the best descriptor!

my bottle is still sealed, awaiting the right moment to open it. I have seen it at a couple of online UK sites for $500 and considered ordering another.

I still see people post finding it in the wild for under 150....ugh. not near me

@@ScotchTestDummies It's buy on site for me that's for sure. I'd pay the extra too

@@johngilbert5981 I had a "sad-but-funny-in-a-way" experience the year Dark Cove came out: it was instantly on my radar, and I found a store in the next state over that had a few bottles in stock -- or so I thought. I called and asked them to save me a bottle, then drove over two hours to pick it up. When I got there the guy told me someone else with my first name had come in earlier and bought it. "Upon closer examination" (i.e., a search of their computerized inventory), turns out he actually got the regular release, not the Committee bottling, which they didn't even have in stock! Well, let's just say I wasn't the happiest of campers when I left :-(

awesome, thanks Mark!

well said James!

absolutely correct on the first sip. I always use it to wet the palate and get it situated for whats coming! thanks John!

thanks Dan.

I would agree on the yamazaki but not the Springbank. Springbank is good for me, but i just can't get into it like a lot of others.

@@ScotchTestDummies I don't disagree that Springbank is not for everyone, but it is such an iconic malt that really represents what a traditional scotch is and it is amazingly complex. As such, I think everyone should "try before they die" because it is so iconic. I imagine Springbank is about as close as you can get to what a scotch tasted like in its infancy as a spirit. It is amazing that they still do everything, including the bottling. truly "old school". The local barley expressions are just incredible, and hard to beat the 12 Cask Strength. Even the 10 is pretty amazing.

good point!

thanks Alan!

thanks Uncorked!

thanks everest314, have not used Bunna for new drinkers. Could be a good one for that.

thanks Ebbhead!

Thanks Tom

Uigedail is a good one from Ardbeg too.

Uigeadail was my introduction to Ardberg. It was amazing. Then tried the 10 and was disappointed. Especially compared to Laphroaig 10. Looking forward to the Coryvreckan

Just got a bottle of Uigeadail. My favorite Islay scotch so far. If you add water the smoke gets a little muted & brings out the sweetness. Probably little chance of getting a Dark Cove so hopefully they bring out something else on its level soon.

thanks Hoyet, anxiously awaiting Edition 5 here!

haha nice Robert, thank you!

Classic Cut is similar but more spicy.

and delicious!

some good ones in there!

haha thanks Jamaal!

that would have been a good one too Brad!

I love my dark cove and feel the oogie is about 80% of taste and experience of dark cove. If I dont have the dark cove side by side oogie is fantastic...but damn I hope they bring back the cove...esp since laphroaig has lore

absolutely! thanks Guy!

very true Doctor G. I also think its market based, as in the States don't get all the bottling available in the UK.

the Caol Ila 12 was our first review! We di have one of the 17 year unpeated once, but just a sample.

yes it is!

thanks Paul!

always happens!

thanks Richie!

Great lov

definitely on Ironroot!

Thanks

we have had one of the Sullivans Cove, very good as well.

Thanks Matt, looking forward to your list!

Highland Park 12 is probably one of the best low peats.

thanks Leo!

Bunnahabhain was amazing! and the whiskey is too! thanks tonytenpound!

i've considered buying another bottle of Dark Cove on the secondary for $500

thanks Bourbon Buddies!

nice thanks Mose!

yep, when we started doing reviews bourbon was a lot cheaper than scotch, but not necessarily true now. If you like the ECBP you need to try the Macallan Classic Cut instead of the 12 for a better comparison.

Thanks Geek!

thanks Toon, thats a good choice too!

thanks Ray!

yea the Bunnahabhain is a totally different profile. Islay unpeated vs. highland fruity/malty

thanks Krishna!

thanks Chris, watch John Glaser (owner/whisky maker) on Compass Box youtube channel and I believe he pronounces it headonism. I've heard it both ways.

@@ScotchTestDummies It's an interesting word. With a Brittish accent the word is pronounced heh·duh·ni·zm. To American English speakers, it sounds like the Brittish speaker is saying head-uh-ni-zm. It is a subtle difference, but Brittish English speakers are including the "d" in the second syllable just as American English speakers. Hearing the word spoken by a Brittish speaker leads to this common American mispronunciation. The key is the first syllable. Brittish first syllable is "heh," and American first syllable is "hee." So, our American ears tend pull the "d" into the first syllable when we hear the Brittish pronunciation. Listen to John Glaser say the word again keeping in mind that he is saying heh·duh·ni·zm, not head-uh-ni-zm. I hope this helps.

@@ScotchTestDummies One further point. Keep in mind that John Glaser is an American who lives in London, so the question is is he pronouncing it incorrectly, or is he using the Brittish pronunciation. I'd guess the latter in that he is softening the first syllable as the Brittish do, and placing the "d" properly in the second syllable. Hedonism is not a commonly used word, and it's likely that Glaser first heard, and learned to pronounce it in Great Britain. Again, I don't want to detract from the main point of your video. Your choice to include this Scotch blend here is, as a Brittish speaker would say, brilliant.

thanks Werner!

thanks Two Siblings Patrick!

thanks jcarlosvch!

thank you Gearoid!

thanks Andrew!

thanks Chandrashekhar!

thanks glock & mossberg (love the name!)

usually. there are some.

thanks again!

What a great list! Q.: Do you ever drink Sherry on its own?

very nice, thanks Charles G.!

haha thanks Chad!

BOOM!...or Woof!!!

Love it!

thanks Daniel!

and the 12!

thank you Luis!

It's so good! thanks Tonio!

absolutely, thanks Mike.

Glad you enjoyed!

very nice! i'd be at the distillery every weekend!

Shhhuuuttup..

I think the Allardice is better than the Parliament (21)

thanks Go Habs!

Springbank does not make my list (yet)

go too whiskysite.nl they're currently out but it comes in every once in awhile. I last ordered two bottles and with shipping the total was $320.

@@ScotchTestDummies Ahhh....Yes. That's my fav go to seller and where I purchased my Glendronach 18 and 21 when it was on sale. I got that tip from you many months ago. Thank you Scott!

Total WIne in the USA sells it for about $233 and you also get the nice box.

@@keithpetersen560 Wow!.........To expensive for my wallet!

thanks antroque35!

nothing wrong with Talisker!

Yes, it is the highest, thanks Muralee!

we got a behind the scenes tour when we were there, but the distillery is nice! Last I heard this cask of PX is gone, but they should have a new one ready, hopefully just as good!

@@ScotchTestDummies According to whiskybase its also a 90+ whisky!

excellent!

it is different than the 10, but I would say yes. Scott

almost Quig, almost...

thanks Travis!

time to go shopping!

thanks Truth prevails!

yes it is

will do Shmulik! thanks!

I remember that I didn't really care for the Bunna 12 the first time I had it. Absolutely love it now!

thank you Whisky Shared!

that would be interesting to see how it stacks up blind!

@@ScotchTestDummies It's all subjective, but in Sweden, the Macallan 12 YO's costs about twice as much as the Glen Moray 12 YO, which was the cheapest, and the one I (blindly) chose to be the least favorable of the 16 whiskies. But they are nowhere near twice as good. If interested: Best 12 YO Speyside's according to my result of the blind test: Cragganmore, Balvenie and GlenGrant. It all basically comes down to cask influence, since 12 Yo distillates from the same region is pretty close to each other. It's by far the hardest blind test I've done because of the similarities.

interesting results for sure. would be neat to see how we would pick.

Boom!

i love you so much woman

and my wife says i can't make up my mind!

haha that would be nice! thanks Keith!

Nice! thanks Uisce beatha!

i'd like to try that one! heard good things.

Scotch Test Dummies Very long complex finish. Original aged in single tree casks. Had number (1-9) of tree on bottle. I have number 6, still sealed. Waiting for a special occasion. 😏
