  • Today on 'My First Time' series I open a small sample bottle of the Glengoyne 12 year old from their core lineup. Will it be enough to make me want to purchase a full bottle?

      Thanks mate, unfortunately looks like it's only available at the distillery or online, and taxes shipping into Australia are extremely expensive for alcohol 😥

    Definitely an easy sipper that is not too challenging yet not boring. Nice review.

    I tried all the sample bottles and the 18 was good and to be honest the cask strength batches are worth getting on special but I'm not so keen on the rest. Older bottles I've heard are really good but your paying a premium price. Cheers mate!!

    • @McIntyresMalts
      @McIntyresMalts  Рік тому +1

      Yeah I will be reviewing the 18 soon! Same thing I am hearing, the older bottles are where Glengoyne really shines, but they are getting really expensive compared to others in the market.
      Thanks for taking the time to comment 😁🥃

    Thanks again Wade sounds like a similar glenfiddich experience. I might look at sample bottles to get access to more whisky I wouldn't necessarily buy in a bottle

    • @McIntyresMalts
      @McIntyresMalts  Рік тому

      Yeah, the samples that give you a couple of drams are great before committing to a full bottle. 200ml bottles are ideal IMO.
      Thanks for checking it out Wayne 😊

      Indeed the 18 here in Australia is very expensive too, about $250

      No hay carga en absoluto mi amigo! Todavía no he abierto mi botella de Laphroaig Quarter Cask, por lo que no puedo compararla con la 10 (¡se abrirá pronto y se revisará!), pero diría que si no ha probado la 10, comience allí ☺️

  • @Valera_Scotland
    @Valera_Scotland Рік тому +1

    Sounds decent. But I can only afford maybe 6 bottles a year? For that reason I think I'll be going safe and adding Arran 10, or Glencadam 10 to go with my current peaty line up (Ardbeg Uigeadail, Springbank 10, Ledaig 10, Port Charlotte 10 and Ledaig 18)
    P.s. any non peaty ones you'd recommend I add to my collection?

    • @McIntyresMalts
      @McIntyresMalts  Рік тому +1

      Your peaty lineup sounds fantastic! Yeah I would go the Glencadam 10 or an Arran over this any day of the week - Similar price, but far better ABV + NCF & NC on the Glencadam and Arran 👌

      @@McIntyresMalts what I started doing is getting miniature bottles. Because I can't afford to get every whisky on my wish list! I have about 25 on that list!
      So last month I picked up: bunnahabhain 18, Springbank 15, Laphroaig Quarter Cask, Glenallachie 15
      I do like them. The one that I really liked was the Laphroaig surprisingly... I wasn't crazy about the bunnahabhain, and I did like the deep wood and fruit of the Springbank..Glenallachie decent too but need to try it again
      I think maybe I'm just a peaty / islay / Island kind of guy..
      But I think something refreshing like an Arran which I've tried before, will balance things out nicely
      Here they are £38 which is about 70 Aus dollars
