I use to love duty free years ago (about 10 years ago) when it use to be legit. Now it is just a money grab.

Not all duty free shops have good prices. LHR, Gibraltar (the best) and Delhi are some that I have found to be good. Most of the ones in the US do noy have good prices.

If you are going to Spain depending on which airport you are arriving to, I would recommend that you do not buy any whiskies at all. But if you like your brandys, you should look for the Brandy Dr Jerez. Particularly the 1 litre Carlos 1. Google search the duty free at the airport first before you arrive and see If they are there and then buy 2 to 3 of them on the way back as you won't find them in any specialised retailer back home in the country where you are from👍👍👍 €26 for a 1 litre Carlos 1 Brandy De Jerez😀😁😎🤩

Duty Free can be a good bet but only for experienced whisky monsters like me. I walk past 95 % of it because I'm thinking of a cheap and quality slurp on my holiday. A litre of Ardbeg 10 for less than £50. I'm good with that. One litre Glen Garioch 12 the same. Most of the rest, especially when it's Travel Retail excusive, is absolute pants. Duty Free retail is a market for 'normal whisky buyers' and people like us only occasionally.

I've only been to duty-free shops in the US, the UK, and France, and the prices I've seen were about the same as retail, but in some cases, much lower. Not to mention the access to the travel exclusives, which sometimes are interesting. I recently bought a bottle of Ardbeg Smoketrails Bourbon & Côte Rôtie at Orly in Paris for 74 euro for a 1-liter bottle, and it's delicious. I wish I'd bought more. And they had Glenmorangie Signet for under 200 euros (it's a bit over US$300 in my local market). I think the key is to have good knowledge of the market and prices at regular retail before passing by those tempting duty-free shops.

I only buy at the duty free shop if there is Travel exclusive bottles or i cant find the whisky in Sweden. Cheers.

AGREED ON PRICE MADNESS ! ----------- Ubermann G, "duty-free" used to be cheaper than CIty Commercial shops . . . now, it is an (open) greed scheme.

I love making videos of duty free whisky. I have done 60 videos in the last 3,5 years. Loads of views from people that are interested in picking up a bargain. Let me know if you found a cheap whisky at the duty free, what was it and how much did you pay for it. Please remember to like share and subscribe ❤

How would you compare the PMC, SC, PAC and the 10? Tanks and cheers!

I totally love glen scotia victoriana. Never tried the 8 years old. Tonight i opened my Tormore 1990 31years old. Love that whisky. Good review . Cheers from Sweden.

The Glen Scotia 15 and the Victoriana I really like. The Glen Scotia 10 was a sad chapter and will never find it’s way back to my collection 😊

I bought myself this whisky about a year ago here in South Africa for R1000. I enjoyed it, still have a little bit left in the bottle.

i've yet to try a campbeltown and the bars dont have any here, so thinking of getting the standard glen scotia for $60, which is a decent price being from that famed region

Nice review Gert! You are very enthusiastic about scotch! I understand although these days I am taking a big break for health reasons. In truth alcohol is poison - sadly. I have had this scotch although for me it's way too sweet. Joel likes it and was recently sipping on a dram. He got a back up bottle. I think it was more than what it's going for in your part of the world. Hey you are almost at 2,000 subscribers! So well deserved! Have a fabulous weekend! Moderation! 🙂

Different brands with a aged 18 years statement and very good value for money for the moment that are not Sherry Whiskies would be Deanston, Loch Lomond and Glen Moray🍎🍒🍓🍅

There really isnt that many Sherry Whiskies Aged 18 Years for good value for money anymore. The new Redbreast Aged 18 Years @ 46% abv for €225 which I will not buy😭 The Glen Dromach Aged 18 Years @ 46% abv for €192.50c😚 I definitely will never buy Macallan Aged 18 Years and the Tamdhu Aged 18 Years😡 Yet you can buy the Glen Allachie Aged 18 Years @ 46% abv for €120🤩 and the Ledaig Aged 18 Years @ 46% abv also for €120😀 You will be very very fortunate to buy the Arran Aged 18 Years @ 46% abv for €105 anymore🤔

This is definitely my kind of peated whisky……. What s your favourite Glen Scotia? Please remember to like share and subscribe. 14 to go to reach 2000 subscribers

Instead I saw an old review of Ralfy on Teacher to which he assigned 88/100 and I solved all the problems of this type 😂😂

We do enjoy a wine cask-finished whiskey...most of the time. I guess I shouldn't lay down a blanketed statement. lol we did just have a port cask finished bourbon that was not great. Cheers, Gert.

Ubermann G., u REALLY have a soft heart for this PEATED port-sk(e)y ! . . . ( ? weird-sk(e)y ? ). Nice !

Whiskey News Mackmyra from Sweden filed for Bankrutcy in August and Redbreast have released a brand new Single Pot Still Aged 18 Years @ 46% abv which I haven't seen yet.. Approximate Cost being €230. Ouch

Good value for money Peated whiskies. Kilhoman, Kilkerren and Port Charlotte

A personal opinion regarding the price point of the standard bottelings of Kilchoman. Here in Sweden the cost is...Machir Bay sek689 (€61), Sanaig sek699 (€62), Batch Strength sek895 (€79) in todays currency. I think that's quite a fair price for a craft presented whisky, even if it's a NAS whisky. P.S. I dscoverd yesterday (from Gwhisky) that The Sanaig is coming as a Cask Strength version soon....that would probably be a really good one, I hope the price will be fair. Cheers

Nice review. My brothe had a bottle like this one some years ago, and if my memory serves me right, it was a really good one. Cheers

Lovely review Gert! This Kilchomen is delicious and delightful! I’m happy you enjoyed it so much!! Cheers my friend!!

I've become a fan of Kilchoman, really enjoy the Sanaig and 100% Islay. This one sounds delicious (just don't tell Frank I said this.)

Ive bought the kilchoman 100% islay. Will try it tomorrow after work. Good video. Cheers.

I think I would like the Port cask. Just ordered the Madeira cask and the Batch Strength. My favorite distillery

Unfortunately many of the Kilchoman releases are not available in my area but this one is so maybe I'll pick it up.

Not interested in the core range at the prices they are at now (particularly the 18). I don't live that far from the distillery (40 miles) so if I want to treat myself I will get one of their handfills direct from the distillery, or a single cask, albeit they are also expensive.

Now you're entering dangerous Peathead terrain, Gert.😂 Thanks again for an interesting review. Slàinte mhath

Not available here, but I just bought the GlenAllachie 10 Port finish. That’s the best Port finish I have had to date. Will choose that one over Arran Port or Glenmorangie Port Ruighe any day. Lovely stuff… 2000!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

What a great expression. I definitely need more to try. What would you recommend? Please remember to like share and subscribe. ❤ 20 to go to 2000.

Sipping the new 2024 release now. It´s very good, but it is not at all what I expected. Don’t know how it compares to your sample, but it is very floral and light compared to the 12 and 18. Very strange but absolutely beautiful. Still… I think I prefer the 12 YO, but this is the neck pour, so who knows. I really, really like GlenAllachie. Huge fan 😊 And Gert. I just have to say… There’s no “N” in Allachie 😅

Ah man I absolutely love this whisky, I think it might be my favourite Ardnamurchan. I'm not a massive sherry fan so I think like you it's not like the others. Cheers!

I’ve only bought the cask strength editions since 2016. At least the cask strength says NCF on the bottle tube, unlike any of the core releases. It’s sad to see them do nothing but put lipstick on a pig and spend the money on this shyte. Sláinte 🥃

Single malts in sherry cask´re fine.......but in sherry cooosk´re mind blowing..

I was a big fan of Glendronach during the Billy Walker era. Benriach were superb as well. I knew it was going to go down in quality and up in price the moment Brown-Foreman got their hands on them. We all know Billy had a lot of old barrels and the age statements were top dressed so they were very good whiskies. Brown-Forman come in and start selling all the old single barrels and so no top dressing any more. It doesn't mean the whisky isn't any good but I'm just not excited any more. The 15 is the only one I'd consider buying. (I have one bottle of the old 15 left.) I recently opened a Billy Walker era Benriach 17 - Pedro Ximenez finish and it is stunning. We used to drink whisky like that but not any more. We have become acclimatised to drinking lower quality over a number of years and the prices have gone up. I imagine the Glendronach 18 is very good but I'm never going to spend almost £200 on it. I notice that the rebrand has added a further £10 to Glendronach expressions. By the way, sherry casks can only come from Andalucia so there's nothing unique about Glendronach's bragging rights. By now we should all know this but it's worth repeating. The 'sherry' casks Glendronach are talking about will never have contained any liquid sold as drinking sherry. It's just wood seasoned with wine intended to be emptied into a solera butt which will be aged until it is Oloroso. It's pre-Oloroso. Sherry bodegas will never sell the barrels that age the finished product. The whisky industry gets prepared barrels made to order. The sherry bodegas control the terms because they know the whisky producers need their product. Glendronach's claim of hand selected casks is ridiculous: They will have an arrangement with a bodega to provide a certain sort of quality and the rest is down to how they, themselves, blend and age their spirit. I have a second home in Andalucia and I've visited many bodegas and talked to them about this. Believe me when I say that the sherry world doesn't need whisky but the whisky world needs sherry - or something quite like it.

Really enjoyed this one. Definite white wine flavours came through for me. A great, light summer dram for people who like peate

The only reason I can see for rebranding is suffering sales. I absolutely loved Glendronach 12-18. 15 was the gem when Billy Walker was throwing more older whiskies in it. Last 12 I had was less than impressive. It used to be my go to. Maybe Billy's taste profile just fits me better.

Glendronach is ok. The 12 year old is my friends favorite whisky.

Ubermann G. , for me only price and quality of actual whisky trigger me to buy , or re-buy - - or not.

The rebrand did nothing to improve this scotch. It's overpriced here but I don't consider it stupidly priced or crazy-priced. I definitely refuse to get sucked into Maccallan!!

I really liked the old style of glendronach. I will still buy it in the future to see how it taste. Cheers.

This was a quickie video!! I wasn't much of a Glendronach fan before or now after a rebranding. Nothing exciting. Also for what you get it's overpriced here. Cheers Gert!! 🙂
