You earned a new subscriber Phil. Absolutely delightful content! Apart from being incredibly educational of course. Please please don't stop making videos!

Do you have an accent? I can almost barely discern it from an English accent.

Edit: And now its very Australian

I'm a fan of Bunnahabhain 12 but it's the only Islay whisky I like.

How does all these different flavors get in the whiskey?

You put the opened bottle back into the box? what?

PERFECT video! Thank you!

Islay whisky are my favorites out of all the regions

All regions has exceptions, so it's best to read what's on the bottle. Or Google about whiskey you Wana get

excellently explained.

Regions are fun but knowing the distillery is funnerer.

More scotch is sold in india than produced in Scotland 😂😅

Excellent!

I’m a snob! Speyside is what I am hitting most of the time. Peat is what turned me off to Scotch throughout the years. But… and this is a big ass but, JW Blue with a hint of Peat is what finally captured my heart. Since trying my first Blue, I have been able to find less $$ to enjoy! I’d love to find a decent priced Islay- Peat Scotch. Just afraid to pay. Only because I could have enjoyed a tried and true Speyside. The Glen Fohdry French cask can be had for $29.99 on sale and Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban and LaSanta for about $45z I’m always open to a Decent priced Peat! Great video too!

🎉I just got one from the ballot!! First time after entering many.. chuffed to bits.

Ah Scotch the most white privileged of spirits

Mate, you channel is incredible. Keep your good work and encyclopedical videos. Cheers from Brazil!

Peat for Life

Macallan is cinsidered as highland my bro. Even tho they use Spey as a water source.

Love malt whisky. It's the best of all whiskies. The US has been putting out some really good malts in recent years as well.

Looking for a peaty Scotch. I had one once many years ago and instantly loved it. How do I find another one?

so... ignorant question here, why does Maccalan say Highland instead of Speyside on the bottle?

What was the documentary you showed during the Cambletown section?

I am from Brazil, a true malt lover and we face all sorts of trouble finding different malts and accepting to pay the abusive prices. I will do a whisky tour around Scotland between April 6-17th and this video came in handy. Cheers

You called both Speyside and Highlands "the biggest whisky region" 🙂

scottland reminds me of canada

Yep, great content and extremely well presented. Cheers mate! (Just a bloke who drinks whiskey from across the pond). 😁🥃

Amazing content 👏 Thanks

Which whiskey/scotch book did you recommend? Whiskey bible? I can't find it in your videos

To sit and learn as you drink is just beautiful

Really awesome info! Definitely gets a subscription from me!

You're from New Zealand right?? Testing my accent knowledge here lol

I’m very new to whisky drinking (literally two months), this coincides with me moving to Falkirk, which amazingly has two very new distilleries. Really enjoyed this video and discovering the whole new world

Need more detail video on each region respectively

What a gem

Speyside all the way... fell in love with Glenfiddich and stumbled on Glenlivet and then McCallan.. love em all, not knowing they are all from the same region. Thanks for the video..

I’m a bourbon guy to my core but I’ve been exploring the world of scotch recently. Expensive but interesting.

5 years ago I was in the right place at the right time (liquor store had a sale) and I was able to buy 60 bottles of Glenlivet 12yr for $14 per bottle and I loaded my car down..

I personally love a peated smokey whiskey finished in Sherry casks.

Thanks much for the video. I'm at the start of my Scotch journey. I started with Macallan 12 and Glenfiddich 15. Just picked up a bottle of Glenlivet 12. These I believe are all Highland scotches. I'm not ready for the smokey Island ones at this point. Might have to hit a bar to get a sample before I commit to a full bottle. Especially these days with the lack of selection and high prices.

Watch at 1.25 Speed. Thank me later.

I think expecting a certain flavor from a certain region can be a trap, but whisky (at least for me) being relatively expensive makes me want to know as much about the product as possible, and that ofcourse includes the region.

I was born in the heart of the Spayside whisky region, in the small town of Dufftown, it may have a population of only around 1600 people but Dufftown can boast it has six working distilleries. My late father was a stillman at Cardhu distillery, we moved down to Clydeside and he worked at the now demolished Littlemill lowland distillery. In 1966 he gave up working in the whisky business for a new career in the machine tool industry.

I'm a die hard Islay fan and Ardbeg is my jam :)
