All I have to say about these bottles is that the 2022 box is much cooler than the 2023 lol.

From these comments, sounds like I need to try the Midnight Silkie

Best looking bottle in the business :o)

How much?

Nice review Peter. My question to you is: Is Remus Reserve worth getting the 2024 based on the increase of price the last few years?

Thanks!

2023 Gatsby is for sure the superior dram. Great video Peter. Cheers!

Terrific video Peter!! Have a fabulous weekend!!

Never had it but the bottles are near the top of my list of best looking bottles:) Cheers!

Thanks! Just catching up on reviews for August. As usual, great reviews

not sure how you can call this "balanced", as a lot of other reviewers has said this is heavily peated. The notes I get here are 70% peat and then 30% combination of the following: very sweet, iodine, salty, savory, cheesy funk. The fruity elements are there but overpowered by the peat unless you really look for it. I thought I enjoyed the peat in the Yoichi, so I tried this, but this is too much for me. The lower abv also didn't help, I thought the Yoichi lacks some punch but this has got to be the most thin scotch I've tasted...

I think this is just a Utah release. As far as Utah it’s just an “ABC” (alcohol beverage control) state, so all purchasing of beverages has to go through the states distribution system.

Great review 👍 Was at the Ardara Distillery in Ireland 3 weeks ago. They started to produce their own spirit recently but the Silkie is a sourced whiskey. I bought the Dark and Midnight.I like the Dark. Although a bit young and spirity. Still have to open the Midnight.

I have The Sikie the midnight. To me it's like the little brother of the port charlotte 10

I agree. Silkie is a skip for me. I have the standard expression, not the peated one, in my collection. Not necessarily a bad whisky, but flat and not memorable. Could put it in a beginner's whisky flight.

Love the videos! All the way from Australia.

nice review. I have not tried Silkie the dark, but I have tried the unpeated Silkie, which I do really like especially for the price. Cheers!

Big fan of your channel, Peter. Just to let you know, Liquor Vault in Scottsdale had 2 or 3 different Bardstown sitting on the shelf.

$119.99 in Chicago

I admittedly pay way too much for Antique 107 and I'll continue to do so. I love that bourbon.

I was able to pick this bottle up for 120. I was very happy with the bottle for that price, love me some redbreast

"Warm up, pour." Are you pre-gaming?

I had what must have been the basic Silkie ... it was not silky. I'm pretty sure I finished it. Either way, I don't have the bottle, and I didn't get a new one.

I have the non pleated silkie. I like it better… it’s great in coffee. The pleated is a good one as a mixer

I just discovered this bottle recently and opened it today and I must say I like the taste, the craft presentation and at a good price in my market

Silkie is a skip for me as well. The smoke helps make a nice Old Fashioned type of cocktail!🍹

Great video Peter. thanks - Wanted to ask something about potentially branching out. I have enjoyed your channel for some time now and i really think it has only gotten better with time. I particularly enjoyed watching a very early video about how you sporadically got into whisky. I myself have a modest whisky collection and I'm firmly in the appreciation over getting drunk camp. But i have recently discovered the wonders of good sipping rum. My favourite whisky's are Craigellachie, Glen Garioch, Laphraoig, and Ardbeg.... and i have honestly fallen in love with some rums as sipping spirits akin to the best scotches. I was just wondering if you would ever step into the world of (maybe perceptually) good sipping rum to see what you think. I feel it could make for some good content, and potentially your subscribers could go on a journey with you. I will admit it took a couple of weeks for my palate to accept some of the nuances of rum but there have been some incredible moments since. Hampden 8 year, Veritas (probitas in the US) and Black Tot are only a few i have found some synergy with in terms of scotch, and in the case of the latter two rums... the price to quality ratio is incredible...anyway.... sorry for the wall of text..... just a thought. thanks for the consistently great content. PS. sorry -not a bourbon guy.

I was going to ask if this was the Midnight Silkie? The Midnight is a good dram for the price. I still prefer the Waterford peated or the Teeling peated products. Both Teeling and Waterford are more expensive.

The Midnight Silkie is a better choice yet still carries those tannins you refer to. My favorite Irish peated whiskey is Teeling Blackpitts. Wonderful charred fruit flavors.

silkie do a peatier version of the dark silkie. its called the midnight silkie. the red silkie is nice

Not sure if this is a fair question but is there a difference between Irish Peat and Scottish Peat?

This stuff is amazing. One of my fav pours on my shelf.

Damn, the Rye is 89.99 and bourbon is 85.99 here at my local in Kentucky. I've been meaning to give it a try, thanks for the honest review!

This is one of my favorites, very different from other ryes that i’ve had recently

What a difference a year makes. Now at my local Total Wine these are $89.99 each and are allocated, but they are put on the shelves quietly. I found one just sitting in the lower shelf in me day and got it at retail. Mine is warehouse H but the 8th floor. I wonder what a bottle from a different year from same warehouse but different floor would taste like vs this one. I wish I lived closer. Could talk bbq and whisky

You’re videos are amazing

Uh oh. Looks like you're a rye guy now.

Have you tried 12 year Glen Fohdry single malt finished in Japanese Mizunara Oak? I think it's pretty good.

Peerless in general have been hit for me as well. The price tags on some of these are getting ridiculous as well.

I did this same exact comparison last year after ECBP C923 was getting all the hype. However, I liked the GTS better. I do love both though. The GTS 2022 has been my favorite bottle I've owned so far.

I think I’d love this Rye Peter! Terrific!! Cheers!!🍻

Elijah Craig is my go to brand. George T. Stagg is not one that I've tried mainly because of the price and availability. Interestingly, I found your channel through their mention on Stuff and Whiskey.

Thanks for the review. I haven't tried Peerless but haven't looked for it either.

Not a double oak fan but I am a rye drinker. My hold up on these is cost the standard rye is 101 in my area the bourbon is 82. Both I hear are good but I can get four bottles of other bottles that I enjoy. Will I brake down eventually probably but it’ll be a moment of weakness. Just saying. Enjoy!!🥃🥃🥃

I have never seen this in Nevada. I don't think it's available at least yet. I only seen the rye.

Peerless Double Oak Rye is $125 by me at the local Total Wine. Too rich for me. Thanks for the honest review.

Nice! I have tried a couple of Peerless samples and didn’t really care for it (weird funk) but this one usually gets good reviews. Maybe I’ll give it a go? Cheers! I watched a few Party Ribs videos and made them the other night and they were great! Have you guys ever made them?

Impossible to find in the Los Angeles area. I have tried the barrel proof version of the Straight Rye. It tastes like a very young high rye bourbon. Based on your review and the Pikesville comment, I'd say the mash bill is closer to a barely legal rye.

Great Video Peerless is one I want to try just haven't yet. Have you tried any of the Keepers Heart expressions? Would love to see your review on the Irish+Bourbon Cask Strength

I was just looking at Orchard House at Total Wine. She's $80 here before Washington's grab-your-ankles tax.
