Whisky.com Award Best Single Malt Scotch Whiskies from the last 25 years

I'm in the whisky business for 25 years now. I came upon several outstanding single malt whiskies from Scotland which I present here. They are NOT the best of all but my personally best whiskies. And that is not completely true. There had been whiskies out there which had better than these. But they are long gone now and I do not want to present whiskies from which you do not have the slightest chance to get a sip from.

I recently bought the first whiskys to really get into it seriously, and started with the Lagavulin 16 YO, Balvenie 12 YO and Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban 14 YO, also got a Woodford Double Oaked for something different. Really not regretting any of my decisions at all. Thanks to all of your videos and info online, it helped me a lot.

A few of my personal favorites of hundreds of whiskies I’ve tried: Yamazaki 18 Nikka 17 Pure Malt Old Pulteney 21 Glengoyne 21 Abelour 18 Talisker 18 The Japanese ones unfortunately are now too expensive but I am holding a few bottles for a special occasion.

@TheDriveDemo 4 жыл бұрын

Horst, you and I have very similar taste in whisky. Highland Park 18, Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban, Lagavulin 16, and Balvenie Doublewood have long been favorites of mine. The only one missing is Aberlour A'Bunadh. I'm sure you've tried it, but it's stunning! Happy drinking.

@romainlavoie1526 3 жыл бұрын

When you're at 19.20m of the video in the medium range ! I have all 5 bottles! The Triple Wood is best no question! There is no bottles left in Canada at the moment I write these lines. A close second is the Highland Park 18. I purchased the last bottle available in the Province of Quebec 10 days ago. If you can access these bottles get them!!! The Bowmore 15 is my Brother's runner up after the Triple Wood. I would have included the Glenfarklas 17 years old amount these bottles. Its within the price range on these excellent products. Look at the Masters review on this wonderful whisky.

An excellent video of fine whiskies, I was glad to see Lagavulin made the list prominently, it is such a unique and peaty 16 year old from Islay. Most of these selections are within a somewhat affordable price range, but they are definitely meant to be saved and treasured for special occasions. I'd include Oban on this list as well, another of the six classic malts of Scotland.

I'd agree with the other comment, once opened, it is usually a good idea to finish the bottle within a year or two at most. You Might could pull out some of the oxygen from the bottle like wine, but once opened, the clock is ticking, and it loses more subtle notes and much of the freshness.

I have been a fan of the Bowmore 17 yrs and 18 yrs. Bought the Bowmore 15 yrs and Balvenie 12 yrs old on your recommendation in this video. Before I can even taste them, you made it sound so good. You definitely made me hate myself for giving away the Macallen 18yrs old to my cousin without realizing they are that good and I will not pay that kind of money now.

18yo Allardice? A well rounded 18 Year Old This is a truly wonderful sherry whisky, with notes of Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Icing Sugar, Pecans and a hint of lemon on the nose and a huge oily mouthfeel with Orange zest, Dark Chocolate, Red Wine and I have to agree with the thick blueberry note from MoM a rather fantastic whisky especially considering how much you would have to pay for Macallans 18 YO. This, in my opinion, is superior. Regards
