Not a lot going on with the 3 Swallows. A fine and worthy cocktail mixer , but that's all to say in it's favour.

Macallan doesnt make the best whisky in the world. Rolex doesnt make the best watches in the world. Mercedes benz doesnt make the best cars in the world. Sometimes the best things in the world are not meant for everyone.

Got a bottle last week and absolutely love it. Did you ever get the chance to try the Miyagikyo and how does it compare. Thinking of picking that up too.

Hey thanks for the review 😊 I love this bottle look. Sadly I haven't opened my powers 3 swallow yet. God I am a slow drink who stocks bottles like hamster.

Where I live the three swallow is $5 less than the johns lane so I couldn’t bring myself to buy it. I always get the johns lane which I’m just assuming is a better quality

Good choice if You are on budget. However, I'm not tempted to replace a bottle once it's gone. Life is too short (and liver is too precious) for wasting it for just ok whiskies :).

Thanks for reviewing, Jim. Not much to say about this whiskey. I'm more focesed on Scotch, so I leave any comments on others. Slàinte mhath

Hi Jim; I had imported a couple of bottles of John's Lane, as it isn't sold in Canada. I enjoyed them a lot. You can buy Powers 3 Swallow and Gold Label here in Alberta, so I tried the 3 Swallow and I liked it too. What gets exported to Canada is bottled at 43%, so I suppose there is a bit more oomph to it than your 40%. I may go for another.

I am enjoying my 750ml bottle.

I'd favour the Deanston VO over the G14 at the price point and it's natural presentation, so doubt I would be heading in the Grant's direction to be honest Jim. Thanks for the review though ....... always interesting to get your take on things 😃.

Hi Jim. Is this new 14 the new version of the rich oak ( which I actually liked) which was also 14 yrs old, bourbon and virgin oak matured? Could be one for me 🤔. Slàinte Jim.

Not opened and tasted a Glenfiddich for years. Often available on discount in the supermarkets so give them a miss usually. Shame they are often at minimal 40 or 43%. Not seen the 14 around so thanks for reviewing.

Hey!!! This is the first bottle of scotch whiskey I bought. I bought it because I was a bourbon drinker so I figured this would be my easiest gateway into scotch. Boy oh boy I’m sure into scotch now. Enjoying my funky campbeltowns and just got a bottle of port charlotte for my Islay journey. I feel like with each additional bottle I get, it becomes my new favorite. I’m loving them all. Ha

Cheers jim. Might be tempted to give it a go. I've got a bottle of the orchard experiment, and it's just not for me that one. Had two drams out of it and not gone back ..... yet!

Totally underrated Scotch,but for the price,it’s a winner.

I’ve been looking for an inexpensive blend as a sipper but I can get Benromach 10 for the same price as this. I just can’t take a chance on a blend like this when I can get that for $45.

Loved the review, Jim! I like Glenfiddich, I've had bottles of the 12 yo, the 15 yo (solera) and the 18 yo - but never this 14 yo. "I like Glenfiddich" well.... more than other distilleries with primarily 40% ABV expressions. Let's put it that way 😉 At 40% ABV bourbon cask matured my purpose with a bottle would be "palate aligner" and/or "introductional malt whisky for non-geeks". But for that purpose I always have a bottle of the Glenfiddich 12 yo and/or the Glenmorangie 10 yo (12 yo going forward) that I'm quite happy with for that purpose. So, I'm not gonna buy a bottle (unless,, of course, I find it at an unreasonably cheap price 😅), but as always, when it's not wine cask matured, I would like to try it if given the opportunity. Cheers buddy, good to hear you're safe after Éowyn paid an intense visit to your part of the world... 🍀🤞

I almost didn’t try this one because I didn’t care for the classic laddie much at all. I’m sure glad I did though. It’s a gem. Love your videos. Great job

I know this is an older video but I’m just watching it again. Ha. I just tried the port CB allotted 10 yesterday. I think I’ve become accustomed to the peat finally. It was so soft for me and I could pick out all the other flavors in it. I may be ready for octomore now. 😂

Thanks for reviewing Jim, For me as Glenfiddich counts as one of those whiskies I've had in the past, but haven't tried this expression. Slàinte mhath

Good review Jim, glad you like it. The Inaugural one and this one is a combination of bourbon and oloroso but the Feis Ile one was fully ex-bourbon which was beautiful! I find myself comparing this more to Machir Bay or a peated Raasay. Cheers!

There are two 12 years i love to try, the Edradour 12 and the Glenturret 12. I have the Glenturret 12, but stil closed. For now, i think my favorite 12 years are deanston 12 and Glenallachie 12.

It has a bit of sherry in it, great review of a great made malt

Cannot wait for the tshirts of the fangirl club of this distillery 😂 jokes aside will wait a bit longer before i'll give this a go.

Interesting with the first core range release from a young distillery. Would love to taste it some day, but I'm not in a rush to buy a bottle for the time being. Somehow, I've discovered that space in my basement is actually not unlimited 😂🤫 If I see it in a bar, on the other hand, I won't hesitate for a second buying a dram of it! Cheers buddy! 🥃

Cheers Jim, I'm a fan of this expression & happy to sip along 😉

I’m fine with coloring. I’ve seen some scotch look like water down, antifreeze. The issue I have is the chill filtration.

This just hit a big box liquor store in my area for $63 before tax. I’ll give it a go because bars by me won’t have this. I hope to get the same tasting notes and enjoyment.

Thanks for sharing your experience with this rare edition. Sounds pretty enjoyable. Cheers!

Broke people have beef with macallan lol its the best flavor 12 out there ive tried plenty of other and the flavor of this 12 its crazy good does it cost 95$ with taxes yes stop whining about the price go drink water if you can not afford it

Just bought another bottle of the 17 for 100CAD (70GBP). A great whisky on sale at a great price. Love the reviews Jim.

Thanks for reviewing this one. We are all interested in this new Islay player and hopeful for the future. As I've said before, I don't rush in on new distilleries for their early releases, but I love to have a chance to learn about them and even try them. The problem is that this is not likely to find itself in a pub near me. Cheers, Jim.

This one sounds like a flavor profile I am currently enjoying Jim. Makes me want to research what type of PPM Ardnahoe is releasing in these first two editions. Also feel like with a name starting with "Ardna" I am bound to like it 😉. Cheers!

Thanks for reviewing Jim. Have tried this one last year. Decent dram. And I disagree with the alternative. This Ardnahoe is -imho- way better (but the has also to do with the grape influence in the WB) Slàinte mhath

Call me crazy,but for the $ Ballantine’s is one of my favorites. Smooth ,mellow,and not overpowering like some horrendous single malts I’ve tried that were just plain awful.

Thanks for reviewing this whisky. Glen Scotia must be trying to channel their 2020 Festival bottling.

Great review Jim. Sub 90 for a great whiskey ❤

Port-sk(e)y ! ! thank u !

I've got a 7 year old 1st fill ruby hogshead bottle from glen scotia. Its gorgeous 😍

Thanks for the review Jim. I also picked up a bottle of this. ( A 10% off new customer code one of the reasons i clicked on the buy icon..). Delighted to see Ashley Smith as the new Master Blender of Glen Scotia as well.

Top review buddy! Chatting with Andy from Glen Scotia about my love of the 2020 festival release I was pumped to hear about this one. Sadly didn't keep my eyes peeled on my emails and flew past me. Cheers to loving port cask 🥃

Please explain. This triple cask Grant whisky age in three cask. 1.Virgin oak 2.American oak 3.Bourbon refill oak Yes virgin, what kind of oak? American Virgin oak, European version of Japanese virgin oak? No 2. American oak, is that mean charred inside or without charred?pls

Sounds very good. However, 85 pounds is a bit toppy for me for 9yo whisky. The 11yo 2023 Festival white port was £65.

Jim. When you next visit, ask for a bottle of Old Harry. Take it home, settle down in your comfiest sofa with Holsts Planets playing quietly in the background ,and prepare for the acceptance of perfection……

I just got a bottle. But the oaknotes where just too overwhelming 😂 dumped some ice & cola in the glass. I'll come back to it in a few weeks

This sounds delicious! You are so lucky to have access to these releases. I’m a real fan of Glen Scotia and most things Michael touches. Cheers, Jim.

Thanks for reviewing Jim. Despite being a fan of Glen Scotia, I give this one a pass (not a fan of port finished whisky). But there certainly are whisky lovers that will live it. Slàinte mhath
