Yikes !! - I was right to swerve this one right from the beginning Jim; but I have to admit, you took one for the 'team'. I do hope that you were able to settle the palate with something of quality after that. Entertaining as always - looking forward to the next 😉.

Never apologize to vegetarians. I'm no sherry maturation guy but I did like this one. It definitely changes as the level goes down in the bottle.

Not a whisky I enjoy! Interesting thoughts!!

😂😂😂😂👍

Thanks for covering this one and taking one for the team Jim, as it's not something I would buy. Have heard that this is the base malt for Johnny Walker Black, which I am not a fan of at all. Cheers

I had to mix this with other grog to make it minimally acceptable.Awful swill.Never again.

Yep, love the bottle. Sits well in the cabinet 😂. But I do like the flavours

I've never had a Glenlivet that wasn't a huge disappointment, but I haven't had too many Nadurra's so maybe there is hope.

Bought two when i was at Loch Lomond - apparently it's being discontinued soon.

Fair and honest. Thanks!

Tried it at the distillery, having arranged a rare visit. They were out of stock but picked it up locally in Balmaha.

Thanks for the great review Jim! You could always use it to make Jello shots. 😂

Decent dram but i prefer the 14 and 18 in their range.

Even the 18 year old is 40%! Have the 12 (high ball territory) & 18 alongside higher abv offerings - distillery only bottling, 14 YO special release and the 21 YO.

Aye, but what do you *really* think of it? 😅

Thanks for the review Jim! It’s sad to see a whisky diminished like this, but then you think that this is a bestselling in Spain (beginners and brand fashion whisky treatment, as Macallan. No ones cares about the liquid, only the brand) Salud! 👍🏼🥃

It's a beginner's whiskey for people with sweet palates.... 🤔...what like kids? 😂

IMO ...An Absolutely Brilliant Channel !!! Come on Whisky fans support this man , I'm amazed that Jim only has 3k subscribers , he deserves Much Much more , knowledgable , Honest !!!....And funny . Thanks Jim !

The 40% 10yo is a bland watery whisky even when not compared to the CS. It's a very poor example of Laphroaig.

One of your best series of nosing notes on this one. Makes me feel like I'm having the whisky with you. Nicely done sir.

I've only had a sample of this and I was completely underwhelmed. I'll never make a complete judgement on a sample so I hope to have more chances to try it.

😂😂 OMG, Jim. Say whatever, you want, but that Cardhu 12 yo is value whisky. They could even double the 38£ for just the whisky alone. Value. Whisky. What am I talking about? Well, watching you "taking one for the team" (a big one that is) and all the facial expressions, you put up is just hilarious and i.e. just soooo much value for the viewers. I certainly hope, your palate recovered pretty soon afterwards... well it should, considering the quick disappearing taste, I guess. So now, you just have to cope with the memories and erhm the rest of the bottle 😉😆 Oh my, thanks for making my Monday a good one buddy! Cheers!

That was a fun review...even if it wasn't a fun whisky😂. Thanks, Jim!

That was painful 😂. Have another sip

First and most important, this was very entertaining, Jim. I needed a good chuckle to start my Sunday. Thanks for the hard work you put into these reviews, and the misery you endure with some of them. I remember this as one I tried and found no reason to ever go there again. But, that price only shows you that at their scale Diageo could be putting out lots of their product at much lower prices. There is a lot of cost in the bottle, packaging, labels, and tumblers so I know you are right that this is a sub-twenty bottle. I also find it interesting they can make something so sweet. I find many bourbons too sweet and that is one driver for me to prefer Scotch. They have to be doing something in the process to leave that much sweetness in the juice. You are right some like that, but not me. Cheers, Jim.

Rattan then 😂😂

Thanks for reviewing (... the packaging) Jim. Not really a fan of tis one, not even for the calculated price. 'Nough said from my side. Slàinte mhath

Speyside is by far my least favorite region. Apple, honey, sweet sugar… not my thing unless there is gonna be a savory or salty note.

This one runs at about the same price as more distinctive 12 years in most places here in the US, so it loses out when you're choosing between bottles in most shops. Cheers!

Not tried anything from this distillery but it's a shame that it doesn't match up to some of the other f&f bottlings. Its presentation and price plus your review means i will steer clear unless it turns up super cheap on offer somewhere. The glencadam 10 however is a different class! Love the stuff and everything they produce.

'It's good but I won't replace it' sums it up perfectly for me as well. They're on the right track with the 46%abv compared to the 40% of old but like it's predecessor it's forgettable. Cheers Jim!

I'm so much on par with you on this one, Jim. Good, not great. Not being replaced. Cheers mate 🥃

So many Whisky's so little time. I applaud Royal Brackla for bringing integrity bottles instead of 40%. These days I am getting value bottles I know to be good so this one is off my list currently. Cheers Jim

I've had a bottle of this in the past, thought it was really good for the price (and just generally good), haven't seen it around since then unfortunately.

The new release is way better than the old one. I truly enjoyed it. Thank you for another great review.

Nice review ! This new 46% RB is miles ahead of the auld 40% . . . I believe Dewars mature their most prestigious / oldest 32-38 yo at Brackla using RB casks. . .

Great review Jim. That alternative stands head and shoulders above most bottles so to be in the comparison is a compliment!

No way to access Royal Brackla big this sounds interesting!!

Sorry random comment but i don't understand why machrie moor fingals cut heavily peated quarter cask doesn't get more reviews and more credit for £46 its screamin quality. Maybe i have specific unusual tast i love all the quarter casks laphroaig arran and the one i mentioned.

DEANSTON WOULD DO A GREAT QUARTER CASK WOULD BE EVEN BETTER THAN VIRGIN OAK. HIT CAPS LOCK BY ACCIDENT AND CAN'T BE BOTHERED TURNIN OFF AND RE TYPIN INCASE ANYONE'S WONDERING.

The old Royal Brackla at 40% was a bit lacklustre for me. This new improved version is much better. The price for me is a problem. When you can get fantastic 12 year old whiskies, be they Scotch or Irish for a tenner less, it stops this being a repeat buy. It's nice at £55 but at £70 they're having a laugh. I would take the Glendronach 15 at that £70 price point all day long, cheers Jim.

Loved my time with that bottle. Shame we don't see it on shelves often, even in good whisky shops at times. Nice to hear you love it too Jim.

Recently finished a bottle and loved every dram. Easy drinker and would definitely replace. Super stuff.

Ardmore is definitely overlooked but it's so hard to find good expressions of it unless they're IB which the IBs are very very good. I haven't had this one but I'm very curious about it now. Cheers Jim!

I bought it out of curiosity. This is absolute garbage. It's so foul smelling.

The best 10 years old,no contest.

Thanks for reviewing this whisky, Jim. Decent dram that many whisky enthousiasts will appreciate, but for my liking the sherrry is too prominent. Slàitne mhath

This sounds very worthwhile. The only Ardmore I see on shelves here in the US is the Legacy.

Only drink ib ardmore seems the safest way to explore

i liked teacher's highland cream well enough that is half ardmore, cuz it wasn't coastal peat notes and is also creamy as the name says. smoke is good if it stays in balance, and not take over
