In the hot world of 'Peated Whisky' the Benromach Peat Smoke is seriously underrated. I think it's excellent and excellent value.

I'm so glad you reviewed this bottle. I'm a long term Benromach fan and I really love any cask strength stuff they do. I just got a bottle of the Polish Oak - Cask 72; 263 bottles. It was also distilled in 21/11/11 and bottled 31/10/22. We find these bottles in smaller, bricks and mortar, web sites. Over the years I've purchased a lot of excellent Benromach single casks from exclusive retailer offerings. Milroy's of London have, as I write, one bottle left of 'Londoner's Bartenders Edition (201 bottles), which is a first fill sherry hogshead at 59%. I'll follow do a follow comment on the Polish cask when I open my bottle. Cheers. WT

Yes, Wlad, many malt enthusiasts love the Signatory Edradour 10. The one I've tried is from 2016 and it was kind of ‘clean yet dirty’. I believe some batches are full-on dirty with Sherried goodness. I have an unopened 2020 bottling: we'll see what that is like. I also love the 12 YO ‘Dougie MacLean’s Caledonia Selection’ for its lively oakiness.

Hey, Wlad! Nice review. I also like the Edradour whisky very much for its dense and "dirty" character which takes the heavy cask influence without getting bulldozed by it. So far I have tasted the 10 yo 46% from Signatory Vintage, 12 yo Caledonia and 10 yo CS from ex-bourbon barrels. So far I liked the Caledonia the best, but I have some bottles in the stash waiting their turn to be tasted so there is a strong possibility for a new favorite to rise. Cheers and keep them videos coming !

The new version is nothing like this version. Its sad but Glen scotia were one of my favourite distilleries, they have been sold and the victoriana in the new bottles is nothing like the first 4 batches. The bottle in this vid is the stuff I loved. Unfortunately its gone now. Also their xmas releases have gone up in price and down in quality. GS need to turn things around. The 15 and the double cask are still good, but not as good as it was!

I have no idea why they changed the formula but why the heck do they do this to the consumer?!?! The older version is fantastic and I truly enjoy it. The new is similar but harsher. I do not know why Tallisker chose to change formula but I am very disappointed. I have 2 backup bottles of the older version and I'm afraid that these bottles are going to be hard to find.

Wlad, you are enticing me towards this 18 YO! The only problem is: it would cost me $200+ Australian dollars. 75 quid should equate to $142... but then there's our high booze taxes. So the value proposition isn't great here, and yet those worktubs and dunnage warehouses are definitely to my liking. All the best for 2024.
@McIntyresMalts6 ай бұрын
The value prop is better than just about any other sherried 18 year old here is Australia, if you consider a Glendronach 18 is $270+ and Tamdhu 18 is going to push $250, and then Macallan.....

@@McIntyresMalts Wade, you might have convinced me. A key plus for the Speyburn is that it is said to have a distinctive character, like Wlad says. That's important: I'm not looking for a bunch of cookie-cutter Scotch single malts.

Just purchased and now drinking. Very nice, nose is refreshing, a mix of citrus fruits and green apples, slight smoky too. Palate is viscous nutty, caramel toffee, lemon orange and apples, malty of course, then the smoky embers come into play. Finish is oily, salty, spicy, nutty and creamy. No water added. New dram in Hong Kong bought at HKD428 or GBP45. Recommended for sure.
