World's best Scotch? Arran 10 review #02

I think that Arran's new bottles look like cider vinegar bottles here in the US.

Taste good price little bit lower

Quality video with a hint of Peter McKinnon notes ❤

Okay, very curious now, I bought this bottle in the Netherlands today for 42 euros. Picked it because the distillery is from 1995, my birth year :)

Great review. I absolutely love this dram. It’s my 2nd fav in my collection given my collection is still pretty young. I live in FL so it’s perfect especially for this time of year

Great Video ! There are better Whiskys on the market but for the price this is a fantastic Malt. I love it.

Came here after your "The Best Whisky Gifts for the Whisky Enthusiast 2022" video, and I picked up the Arran 10. First time I've been able to "drink along" with one of your whisky videos. Enjoyed the dram and the review!

This a great whisky IF you like subtle, safe, well-made-but-let’s-be-honest-a-bit-boring scotch. But why would you like that?

Need to add this to my collection. Have you tried any of the Eden Mill whiskies yet?

Great review, any plan to review Raasay, thanks!

Great info! Thank you!💞 I have 2 bottles of Johnny Walker Red n Johnny Walker Black. 1 is from 1950s other 1 is 1961 they both have the seals on them. do U know what they might be worth? n How I could sell them? Thanks 4 All U do. I just found U 4 days ago.😊

Arran 10 is my favourite whisky just now. Just bought the 18 to give it a try. Fantastic stuff!

Love the channel! Bought one based on your recommendation. Can’t wait to open it!!

It would be great to see a review of some Australian Whisky (Sullivan’s Cover, Lark, Kempton, … take a pick :) )

Arran iss disappointment in every sense

Really enjoyed your review on the Arran 10 year old. I work for Bladnoch Distillery in the Scottish lowlands and would love you to choose something from our core range and give us all your thoughts. Thanks again Phil .....James

Arran 10 best whisky? Just give me a break ☺️

Bought 2 bottles from the distillery back in 2016..still haven't opened the bottle. :)

Great review Phil. Really want to try this one. Even more so as I actually had a bottle put into my bag by mistake at the checkout (meant for another customer) when at royal Mile whiskies in Edinburgh. Being an honest fool I took it back, but wish I hadn't seeing this review!

I think it's phenomenal. It's in that sweet spot between rich and complex and easy-to-drink and uncomplicated. As a value proposition, it's nearly unbeatable.

Thanks for the review. Good to know that quality whiskies like this are available in NZ. I'll be emigrating from the UK to NZ in Feb 2022 and would like to know some of the retailers you use please Phil if you don't mind sharing so that I can still get quality drams.

Hm a lot to think about here. Where I am in Canada, looks like I can find a single bottle at a local retailer and it's double the price I see elsewhere (around the world). Assuming it was effectively double the price is it still worth it? Looking to treat myself in that (double) price range soon and not sure if this is the one. I am a sucker for a stylish bottle, and this sure is stylish. Great video, cheers!

It would be good if you can review some NZ whiskies. Even though they won't be highly available outside of NZ, it will give me something to hunt for the next time we travel to your beautiful country with a climate that's just perfect for whisky making.

One of my alltime favs. I think the old version was a bit better, more buttery and smooth. However, the new bottlings are great as well (more zesty I would say).

Great review! My company distribute this beaut in Thailand and personally I got no doubt on it being a Whisky of the year. The feedback here is crazy! I can't recall anyone in Thailand that does not like it.

Hello! I have got a question please. I am seeing 2 arran 10 bottles (the one in the video and the other one taller The Arran 10 light and dark green)! Are they the same whisky different bottling? Or different whisky? Cheers!

I just paid $39 for a bottle of Glencadam 10 and $62 for this Arran 10, and I feel a bit like a sucker. There's NO WAY Arran 10 is worth 50% more than Glencadam 10, no way, but I was curious to do a side-by-side, and that's the going rate for Arran 10 these days.

I visited the distillery in August and picked up a mix of their minatures, they were great little bottles to give us a boost when we climbed Goat Fell (highest peak on the island) ;)

When this covid lacking travel thing stops... You should plan to take a month, do the North Coast 500.. well worth the memories.

Been looking all over for this in the states, I have access to the older bottling (it's lovely, I have an open bottle and one unopened for posterity) but I can't find this anywhere.

Really well done review.

Other 10 year old bottles? As if that's a category lol. But yeah it's not that easy to get in the states yet. Solid 84 for me, but I'm a huge arran guy so I'm giving it 3-4 extra points maybe.

Think the hype train is going to need more carriages following the OSWAs. Like you I enjoyed this dram but not mind blowing. Completely forgot I tried it till I saw a review on my website 😂 Brilliant content as always 🥃🥃

Just bought it for $55 USD!

Arran is good but I would love to have the opportunity to try a Springbank. I tried buying one but they are out of stock everywhere. I have a question though and hope that you can answer it. If even Springbank 10 is out of stock now, will they re-apeear on stock at some point? And when might that be? Thanks

Phill I have a question for you if I can. I have never drunk whisky in cask strength. I want to try Aberlour A'bunah and Spribgbang Cask Strenght you recommended and which I bought. I have never pour water to the whisky. You tell me how much water is accurate and how much you add ( what's your personal preferation ) I am from Poland. If its possible you tell me this in ml because I'm from Europe. If it will be difficult I count it into ml. I apologise for my english language and mistakes I made. If you could I would be happy.😀🖐 Greetings from Poland!🇵🇱

Phil, it's been two weeks....what's next?

Great video. Great production.

Bought Arran 10 yesterday and didn't regret. Thanks for your review!

Another cracking review. I love this one, though agree with you that I reach for it more in the summer. Availability in my neck of the woods (New England, USA) seems to vary by state. I have found my bottles while traveling in adjacent states.

The 10 is a good whisky but it feels over hyped now. However if you know where to get an Arran 18 in NZ I'm all ears :)

I'm about halfway through my first bottle and I just thought it was ok at first but after leaving it for a couple of weeks it's really opened up and it gets better & better every time I go back definitely looking forward to my next dram, great vid as always

Good review. I just shot an Arran 10 review, but I put up an Arran Sherry Cask video last Friday, so I'm going to wait a bit before posting it. I think it hits way above its price point.

One note: here in Quebec, we still only have the old bottles of the 10, so I haven't yet tried the one you have there. Ive heard that they might have rejigged the casking a bit for the new version, but I don't know if that's true.

Great, honest review. Much appreciated.

have u tried the older bottling? (with the previous bottle shape and label)...it has less cask influence and more spirit forward. I find it more challenging than this more recent version. I like them both, but when I had them side by side, I reckon the previous one may have more to uncover for the more geeky sort of whisky drinker.

We still have only the old bottling of Arran in Lebanon

It maybe the best WHISKY, but it’s certainly not the best WHISKEY.

Nice review. I lived on arran for a couple of years and was a frequent visitor to the distillery, they have a great set up there. The 10 yr old is fantastic for the value. The 18 yr old is one of my all time favourite whiskys though, its next level

Can’t get it from the state liquor stores in Utah, USA and can’t have shipped here either. I’d have to go out of state, or do a special order of a case quality, and only after approval.

Your whisky’s answer to James Hoffmann. The more I compare, the more similar you guys become (including the increasing spacing of words as you… end… your…..sentences) 😁 I love it!

Also appreciate the step up in this review. You keep getting better 👏🏻
