youtube.com/watch?v=M4m_RM… ~10% of Springbank's production goes towards Longrow, a heavily peated version made with the same ethos & integrity. I like Springbank, I like peat - should be on to a winner here 👍

youtu.be/y4MFcI9_cYE Highland Park's range is a little saturated with 'viking' NAS's - I can understand people disengaging with them. I quite like HP though, and this was a tempting price back when I picked it up... how does it stack up against its current asking price?

youtu.be/Rx7OWKbf0mM Long overdue update on what whisky I have stashed away & what I'm looking forward to trying. Apologies for the length of it... I tried to stay concise but always talk too much when it comes to whisky 😅

youtu.be/QPbHBc1MXvE 6th best selling single malt Scotch in the world, Balvenie know their value and don't under-price themselves. This 12 year old is the entry point to their core range but it will still set you back ~£40, is it worth it?

youtu.be/snmK8v8zdE8 Another distillery visit from 2019. I so miss visiting these magical places & feel lucky I have this footage to reminisce with a dram or two 🥃😉

youtu.be/TfO3touy0TU I know Tamnavulin. I knew what I was in for... but I still wanted to give these 'cask editions' a shot when they each came up around the £20 mark. Are any of them worth a punt?

youtu.be/dzpDNpPkX_k Some of these GoT bottlings are still lingering around on the shelves, I get messages about this series more regularly than any other whisky. Are they worth picking up?

youtu.be/h5-Xeqn9SLs Young, spirit driven and cheap. This is a whisky I really enjoy and have been impressed how well it performs in blind tastings time and time again.

youtu.be/1iXKelbUWkU The Glengoyne 12 has always been a budget-friendly favourite for me, one of the expressions that helped solidify my fondness for the distillery. It deserves a little bit of a spotlight every once in a while in my opinion 👍

youtu.be/tGcv-J6EIU0 I've not really engaged with many Jura's to date... but my son picked this one for my Birthday and it's actually not bad 😁

youtu.be/60nwDpl8O3E I've always had a soft spot for Balblair, the vintage series delivered some of my favourite whiskies so I was particularly sad to see it go. This travel retail exclusive is an odd one!

youtu.be/f7isz8FV7Xo Part of the old range of Glenrothes whiskies, this NAS was easily lost within the range. Now superseded by the Soleo range, I'm keen to kill this one off and replace it with something more exciting 😉

youtu.be/J7xx5tGQ7Es Another tour I've been dragging my heels on editing together. Dewar's Aberfeldy Distillery , the home of Dewar's is known for its friendly & honeyed style. I typically look for a more aggressive character so had to give their exceptional & single casks a try 😁

youtu.be/aLdrdmB7fB0 Another valued stepping-stone I now want to finish off. There's nothing particularly wrong with it, it just lacks the excitement and depth that I now know Scotch can offer. Time for something new to take its place on the shelves 😉

youtu.be/itJ4tw6emDk I tried to buy the latest pair of Kilkerran batch strengths at retail, like, really tried. But ended up stuck with auctions bidding in frustration. This led me to wondering; where's the value nowadays?

Just spent an evening opening new bottles with Patrons;- great way to mark world whisky day. This one was a little bit magical 🤫 Tobermory Distillery

youtu.be/fFk62hC_mz0 The Caribbean Cask has been finished in rum casks to "enhance the ... vanilla"? Did we need more vanilla whisky? Another old bottle that's been sat in limbo with me for too long. Best get it finished and find something less vanilla to take it's place 😉

youtu.be/smp4am8QXhg I kind of struggle with Talisker, the 'house style' feels a bit coarse and dry. This GoT's edition sounded like it could be a good foot-in-the-door for me; helping me to appreciate what they have to offer at large.
