I made a list of my own today🌞 Lowlands: Glengoyne Teapot Dram (I totaly agree with your motivation) Highlands: Edradour 12yo Caledonia Speyside: Craigellachie 13yo Islands: Arran Sherry Cask, The Bodega Campbeltown: Springbank 10yo Islay: Port Charlotte 10yo
I am a bit disappointed: my favorites might be Aberlour 18, Glendronach 21 Parliament, Glengoyne 21, Talisker 12, Port. Charlotte PAC, and Campbeltown is diffivult because they are all great. Maybe the Glen Scotia 18
Great fun video Alan !! Some of your choices were dead ringers (Edradour, Bunna 12) but chuffed to see the Arran 18 there. Hopefully it’ll make a come back, although the 17 is filling the gap . I’d have squeezed Lagg into my lowlands choice, as it’s south of the highland boundary fault 😀. Quality for age is outstanding and I think in years to come it’ll be recognised as a star whisky! Just back from a trip to Arran with guys who got together through you, so big thanks fella for bringing folk together 👏👏👏
Interesting selection, Alan. Regarding the Lowlands you selection is just as extended as mine 😂. My choice would be less sherried than yours and I'm going to Daftmill. Speyside: decent choice of the distillery. Might be my choice as well. Islands: none on my shelf, but would go to an IB HP (have tasted a stunning SMWS). Highland: difficult choice. Most likely a Ben Nevis or peated Loch Lomod for me. Islay: Staoisha for me (cask strength 2nd fill bourbon of course) Campbeltown: darn, that's difficult. Bourbon matured for sure. All three distilleries produce great stuff. Slàinte mhath
Great review Alan. Here is my list: Islands - Ledaig 18 Lowlands Daftmill Speyside - An Cnoc 24 Highlands -Glengoyne 25 Campbeltown - Springbank 18. Islay - Ardbeg 19 Traigh Bhan (or Port Charlotte 18)
Wow what a great selection, I can't find a single one of them here in NC, USA, As much as I love the sherried whiskeys, I would need something peated once in a while so I would have traded the Bunna, for the Uigeadail. I think Ugi would be in my top 5 if I had to pick only 1 whiskey for the rest of my life.
That Benromach 2009 Batch 1 is fantastic! I still remember that I thought it smelled like smoked salami sausage when I first opened my bottle. I later had a 2009 batch 2 (sample), which didn't give me that same sensation. I'm always keeping an eye out for the 2009 batch 1 in auctions. Great pick!
As usual, excellent reviews. For me, from Campbeltown, I’d probably have to go with SB12CS if “there can be only one” - I love cask strength whiskies, each batch is a little different, it was my 1st Campbeltown bottle, and all of them I’ve had were excellent. Though the ones I chase the hardest are the Longrow Reds. Unlike SB12CS, I haven’t loved EVERY Longrow Red I’ve tried, but LR Red 13 Chilean Cab Sav remains one of my all-times
Hi Alan. Surely you would wake up one morning thinking ‘why didn’t I pick a heavy duty smokey whisky, a bright fresh Aran Sauternes, and a Lochlea. You could make blends of all kinds using combinations and have variety to suit the seasons and your moods.
No peat bro? What gives? How could you live the rest of your days with no peat? you had Islay as a low hanging fruit and you still went for the Bunna, I don't get it.
Great choiceAllen, I have 3 of those bottles in my collection
Great to see your list my friend! Nice 'loophole' on the Glengoyne too😉
The great thing about this challenge is that as its only 1 bottle per region, every whisky channel is recommending bangers.
Trying my best Dan...thanks for dropping by fella

Speyside: Craigellachie 13yo
Islands: Arran Sherry Cask, The Bodega
Campbeltown: Springbank 10yo

Great picks, Alan! You've assembled a pretty impressive flight. This isn't as easy as it looks ...
its super tough as there is so much fantastic whisky to choose from....
I am a bit disappointed: my favorites might be Aberlour 18, Glendronach 21 Parliament, Glengoyne 21, Talisker 12, Port. Charlotte PAC, and Campbeltown is diffivult because they are all great. Maybe the Glen Scotia 18
Tough choices chris...

cheers Tim....the 17 is fantastic
I don’t have one bottle from a Lowland distillery either. Bunna 13 cask strength was a favorite of mine, too.
Cheers,
Mike

Thanks Alan, good selection especially the KK16.
Cheers!
Super, czekałem na ten odcinek :)
Hope it was worth the wait my friend...
A nice list, tried everyone except the Arran 18yo, still on my "To try" list.
Great review Alan. Here is my list:
Islands - Ledaig 18
Lowlands Daftmill
Speyside - An Cnoc 24
Highlands -Glengoyne 25
Campbeltown - Springbank 18.
Islay - Ardbeg 19 Traigh Bhan (or Port Charlotte 18)
Nice list some big hitters there fella...Glengoyne 25 was also a whisky of the year of mine..thanks for dropping by my friend...
@@thewhiskyfriend Agree on Ledaig 2018. Once of my favourite whiskies
Wow what a great selection, I can't find a single one of them here in NC, USA, As much as I love the sherried whiskeys, I would need something peated once in a while so I would have traded the Bunna, for the Uigeadail. I think Ugi would be in my top 5 if I had to pick only 1 whiskey for the rest of my life.
Yes the line up is a little short of peat but that Bunna is special my friend
That is banging whiskies Alan!
Cheers Sandy, hope your well fella.thanks for droppibg by my friend
That Benromach 2009 Batch 1 is fantastic! I still remember that I thought it smelled like smoked salami sausage when I first opened my bottle. I later had a 2009 batch 2 (sample), which didn't give me that same sensation. I'm always keeping an eye out for the 2009 batch 1 in auctions. Great pick!
Great choices and Ralphie has nothing on you, Whisky Friend.
Cheers Jon and thanks for dropping by my friend...
As usual, excellent reviews.

The Benromach 👌
so special fella
So good to see the Edradour there, they are just outstanding, if I could only pick one it would be an Edradour.
Bravo Alan I loved it
100% from the heart ! No peat but great picks
Cheers from Canada…… wait where is my warehouse?😂
Im a sherry guy pierre...and if im picking then im picking these...might find some peat next time fella....
Niiice!!! Thank´s!
Hi Alan. Surely you would wake up one morning thinking ‘why didn’t I pick a heavy duty smokey whisky, a bright fresh Aran Sauternes, and a Lochlea.
You could make blends of all kinds using combinations and have variety to suit the seasons and your moods.
Your probably right Michael, when i get challenged again that buuna is just to good from Islay....
That Arran 18 is no more. I have the newer, much lighter version, and it's not worth the price (not bad though, just not worth it)
thanks for the info fella, i would still love this one for the rest of my life...the new 17 is also amazing...thanks for dropping by sir
Islay - Port Charlotte 10
Lowlands - Bladnoch 17
Campbeltown - Glen Scotia 18
Highland - Balblair 15
Islands - Arran 10
Speyside - Craigellachie 13 Bas Armagnac cask
nice choices my friend...
No peat bro? What gives? How could you live the rest of your days with no peat? you had Islay as a low hanging fruit and you still went for the Bunna, I don't get it.
i know, im a sherry guy and just getting to grips with peat, ask me again in a year and maybe its changed, however that Bunna 12 is special....
@@thewhiskyfriend I can imagine, the regular 12 is already amazing. Too bad The CS doesn’t seem to exist in my market 😢
