In Scotland's hills and misty glens,
A whisky lover did descend,
Ralfy, the man with nose and tongue,
A connoisseur since he was young.
With every sip, he would discern,
The notes and flavors that would burn,
A passion for the amber drink,
That flowed like honey, sweet and thick.
He'd travel far and wide to find,
The perfect dram to ease his mind,
From single malts to blended blends,
He'd try them all and make amends.
With every video that he'd post,
Ralfy's knowledge was the most,
A teacher to all who'd listen well,
His voice, a soothing, Scottish spell.
He'd talk of cask strength, and age,
Of peat and smoke, and barrel's stage,
And always with a joyful heart,
He'd share his love, and never part.
So here's a toast to Ralfy, true,
A whisky enthusiast through and through,
May his journey continue on,
With drams that never will be gone.
. . . nice 👍
An ode to Ralfy 👍
@@ralfydotcom Hope it won't disappoint you Ralfy, but this poem was generated by AI called ChatGPT 😁 I'm really surprised how smart it is

@@richardkilley6838 sure, Skynet is coming 😉
Ardnamurchan are going to malt their own barley. The malting floors are almost ready to go.
I am still surprised how quickly Ardnamurchan became one of my favourite Distilleries.
I have Whiskys from more than 200 distilleries in my collection, many old and expensive Bottlings, but outside of the known craft producers like Springbank I catch myself to grab the Bottlings of newcomers like Ardnamurchan, Kilchoman or Cotswolds most of the time.
If someone will safe Scotch regarding quality for price ratio it will be them not Diageo or PernodRicard!
We are 35 reviews from review 1000!! Let's get a thumbs up for everyone waiting over a decade for this event!!! Wooooo!
I drove to the distillery last year to pick up a distillery exclusive bottle and a few others. It's a wonderful part of Scotland, the scenery is to die for. What a fantastic journey that was.
filtering is a huge scam even with non chill filtered. It's still filtering out good stuff. It all should just be strained and never run through any filters. This should be the next big push to straining only and no filtering at all. I have been talking about this for years. State on labels strained but never filtered.
Hi Ralfy ❤ I totally 💯 agree with you about the importance of Chill Filtration. Very important for me to buy Integrity Bottles. ❤
I think if an "expert" said that chill filtration is "here nor there", meaning it's of no importance, then the correct response is to say "then why do it in the first place?"
Simple: To make it clear and remove any fatty residues etc that cloud the whisky and may put off the average consumer.
@@jbennison5672 Yep. An average consumer; a new customer who is almost certainly entering the market at a low price point and wants to get a "smooth" 40% product on the rocks; or the socialites and high-rollers who could care less what's inside the bottle, as long as the bottle itself is a status symbol.
I'm well past the point where I'm going to get my knickers in a twist over it. There are markets for chill filtered products. There are reasons for some brands to do it. If my palate has moved on, so be it. We are not hurting for integrity options in today's market. Not even a little bit. If anything, the market is actually pushing hard toward that end of the spectrum.
You will always find people making excuses for those practices. And the reason why some people defend a low ABV, chill filtration and E150a is they are brand led. I met people claiming Talisker is a better whisky because it’s chill filtered. Right ..
The “average consumer” or whisky beginner isn’t dumb, you can explain on the package why your whisky might get cloudy when the temperatures are low and why it’s a good thing it isn’t chill filtered.
And the average customer isn’t a homogeneous mass preferring the same ABV. There are many whisky beginners who wouldn’t mind when their favourite whisky is bottled at 46%, I started my whisky journey with the Glencadam 10, and I didn’t think “It’s really nice, but man, why didn’t they bottle it at 40% and chill filtered it to death?”
That’s just nonsense. The Lagavulin 16 isn’t bottled at 43%, chill filtered and got artificial colour added because „it might irritate the average consumer if it’s naturally presented“. That’s bullshit. The main reason why so many good whiskies with huge potential are bottled at a low ABV is corporate greed. And it has become a bad habit in the industry to chill filter and add E150a.
There will always be more than enough generic supermarket shelf whiskies bottled at 40%, and those are the brands many of the average consumers buy. But there are whiskies with a beautiful signature like Lagavulin who should be bottles at 46%, or Talisker which shouldn’t be chill filtered to death.
Hello Ralfy ,
thanks vor the Info and review .
Sounds good for this Distillery. I here the first time from this Distillery , and your informations tell me that is good old fasion style made. But now i now becouse i watch a Ralfy review. All a good time .
Drinking AD along with you --so perfect. Great new distillery. Thanks Ralfy!
Yes this is great stuff! I bought this bottle from them and shared it with some people who all enjoyed it very much! Still have about 10 cl so i will enjoy it a little slower. I tasted other expressions of Ardnamurchan and also great quality!
@14:35 - a 250ml measure is a very healthy pour indeed!
Love what Ardnamurchan are doing. Did a blind tasting with friends not long back and it ranked slightly higher than a Redbreast 21 y/o. Need to get the cask strength version though! Amazing what they're doing for the age and price. The block chain technology is a great way to establish transparency and trust with customers too!
I once went to the Gorbals around 1991. I was informed that it was Rough As Badgers. No surprise you didn’t choose to stop there Ralfy 😉
Missed the boat on this one when it was first released. On Christmas Eve, I was in my local whisky shop in Shawlands and spied it in the corner of my eye. My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful night tasting this nectar. Managed to nab another bottle a few days later which I am very very thankful for. So good to see Ardnamurchan doing everything with integrity. Those that aren't, won't be getting a penny from me. Leave it to the yuppies. Love the rants as always Ralphy.
Great stuff as always Ralfy. Got a bottle of this tucked away for now, but it WILL be opened!😉Once your palate is used to natural colour, non-chill filtered and decent abv, you just won't want to go back. That is just a fact! You get more bang for your buck, end of! Cheers mate, take care!
Very nice review. Hope more of their whisky makes it to the US. I got lucky and found one on my honeymoon and brought it home, was only about 65usd too. Was shocked! Thoroughly enjoy it too. Just bummed the QR code on my bottle doesn't work.
I really enjoy having the subtitles on while watching Ralfy...
Ardnamurchan is doing phenomenal things. I personally voted for Torabhaig but hard to deny what Ardnamurchan is doing.
An independent bottler should make a comparison-edition of a single malt, consisting of two bottles of 350 ml (or two bottles of 200 ml): one bottle non-chillfiltered bottled at 46%, the other chillfiltered and - also - bottled at 46%.
Just a thought!
I have the latest release which is simply AD, and even the neck pour is outstanding.
Hello Ralfy! Thank you for your very informative videos! For those who believe chill filtration is good, they better have a taste of Talisker. The chill filtration just kills the spirit! This whisky has the power to be one of the best peated whisky but chill filtering just killing it(and the caramel added too)!
Thanks Ralfy for talking such good sense.
Integrity malt mark
Great review. Thanks Ralfy I got a 09.22 cask strength from a well reputed whisky store in South Africa. The chap said basically the same as you. Unfortunately (or fortunate for those in the know) no one locally here really knows the name Ardnamurchan. So the shelf was near full!!
Looking forward to more reviews, especially if you do the 09.22 cask strength. Take care
I found this to be a very difficult bottle to get hold of! And I was waiting for it to be released, checking online daily! I tasted it in September and it was my dram of the day at a whisky show! I’m glad do have one and I got lucky too!
I joined a tasting event during a fair in Sweden a few years ago hosted by the fine and nice people of Ardnamuchan and Adelphi at a whim as I didn't know anything about them, and immediately fell in love with their wihiskies. Watching this vidieo I started to wonder why I do not buy any of my old favorite destillery (yes, it was Bowmore) whiskies any more and relized my whiskey journey has sailed passed that destination. And I like it! 🥰
Opened mine yesterday, ordered it about a week ago and it was possibly the last available bottle in Switzerland. It’s quite a great dram. Will definitely try a peated one next time.
Enjoying the OSWA content ralfy, same again next year?
Ralfy you hit the nail on the head at 15:15... after researching, purchasing and tasting some quality bottles, a friend poured me a glass of Dalmore 12. I still consider myself a beginner, but you can smell and taste the difference in quality between something made for the mass market and something that was made for quality. D12 tasted like thin dirty water and had mouthfeel of it too...
Thanks for helping me make my minimal budget for whisky go the distance ✌
I totally love Ardamurchan whisky and just got my hands on a bottle of the Madeira Cask release! Hope it will survive the next few days. I'm having friends and family over for the weekend😅
Philosophical....my best then would be a simple Macallan, when standard 12 was nectar still , Kames hotel ...having done a daft errand to move a classic yacht, Sonja, to a mooring there in december...setting off 1600 got there in the dark on a still, dank evening...the warmth of the bar and the smile i got from the barman as I unhesitatingly ordered a double Macallan make this the best in the known universe to me..❤🥃...shame they didnt just increase the price on the lower ages while keeping the full sherried quality.😢
A auction bottle for me but glad to sip away cheers Ralfy👌🏻
I have a bottle of the Core and the cask strength and they are both delicious. Big thumbs up for Ardnamurchan 👍👍👍
Hey Ralfy,
thank you for your ongoing effort to educate and save my money on rubbish whisky, especially in these hard times!
This has been a very good review, full of these little rants and remarks that I love and make you, Sir, so very special!
Only your new scoring system confuses me lately, is there any chance you can come up with a transformation chart?
Best wishes from Germany
Frank
So much from this channel I have listened to, learned and quite literally proved in my own experience. I would suggest by analogy “organic” fruit and veg ie the way it was originally done ie properly! “organic”whisky follows suit, so presumably I’d think that back in the day, probably, the blends were made to allow maturation of the good stuff in the meantime… if there’s no scotch mist it’s not the same in my experience, thanks Ralfy, you have educated I’m sure a lot of us, to put it another way … let’s have some rushed mass produced veg whilst the good ones (aka organic !) are growing properly - my only concern with Ralfy is that he doesn’t have a warehouse of the good stuff (spring bank particularly!) he could sell us ! Maybe we’ll start to see and hear of “organic “ whisky!
Grazie 🙏 dear Ralfy I appreciate your thoughts and sincerity as always. Kindest regards, S.
I have only been watching Ralfy videos for about 3 years. Ever since I started looking for bottles that say natural color and no chill filtration, my bottles have been better and the people I share them with have loved them as well.
Wow, Springbank #2? That's a high praise. I'm going to have to try and find a bottle before they disappear or the prices go through the roof. Thanks
Yeah, Ive completely finished my bottle. It was a good dram, just not very memorable for me. A little too astringent even with water. Needs more maturation. Wouldn’t buy a second. 84/100 for me. Well worth trying it in a bar.
Thanks for the honesty Ralfy. I saw this bottle on my local shelf and as always had to get your opinion before making the decision to buy or not.
There’s something about this whisky that reminds me of the benromach 2012 cask strength, i think it’s the savoury flavour. It’s a delicious whisky!
Vampires... love your humor, thanks!
I keep hearing about this distillery and would love to try their products. Hopefully, some of this whisky will find its way to southern California so that I can get my hands on it. I'll have to watch for it.
Scotland really needs to tighten up its whisky laws. I don't think it matters as much for blends since they rely on a consistency in presentation, but coloring shouldn't be added to single malts. Even if it doesn't have a huge effect on the flavor, it still covers up important information. The color, along with the age statement, provides information on the activity of the casks. In this sense, I appreciate the whisky laws in the United States. Though some of the laws could stand to be made a bit less confusing and need to be tightened up in some areas, at least I know that when I see "straight" whisky, I know that I'm getting whisky without any additives, including coloring. "Bottled in bond" is even more stringent - those three words on the label tell me a lot about the whisky, and I actively seek out whisky with this designation. "Straight" or "bottled in bond," along with "non chill filtered" and information on where the whisky is distilled and bottled, are all that it takes to identify a proper integrity bottling in the United States.
As for chill filtering, I would like to see it declared on the label, regardless of whether the whisky is made in Scotland, the United States, or elsewhere. I don't totally object to the use of the process, as it is used to create a style that some consumers expect, having it declared clearly on the label would help me decide which whisky I want to buy, and I have a strong preference for those that are not chill filtered, especially for pot still whiskies (it doesn't seem to have as great an effect on column still whiskies). I don't know what to do about other heavy forms of filtering; it would be hard to legally define that to the point that it could be added to a label. I guess we'll have to continue to rely on reviews and on our own experience to determine whether a whisky has been over-filtered.
Check online. Pretty sure I got my bottle from a store in California. It's worth hunting for. Very good stuff
Review starts at 11:45 😁
Ralfy, another fantastic review. You are right, we layman can't get a 58.2% bottle anywhere. How about the Ardnamurchan Single Malt AD(46.8% abv) or Ardnamurchan AD/04:21 Paul Launois Cask ? or Ardnamurchan AD/09.20:01. Thanks Malt mate
I had never heard of Ardnamurchan until late last year....and a few months ago the Ardnamurchan AD/02:16 Cask 71, 1st fill Spanish Oak Oloroso Sherry Hogshead, PEATED, bottled at 57.8% ABV, became available at the local SAQ across the river in Quebec....so I bought one. comes in a dark blue coated bottle....but it has a couple of clear windows on the side, so you can look through the bottle and see the color of the whisky...unchill filtered and natural color. Havent opened it yet....just glad it was available and I got one! Bottle does say it was bottled exclusively for Quebec. Saving it for a rainy day!
I rarely buy whisky anymore, but I will keep an eye out for this one.
Hi Ralfy I know it is episode about Ardnamurchan... but recently i have noticed that Ledaig has only unchillfiltered note on the label... what about the colour? Sweet Baby Jesus are they going Dronach style? Any thoughts?
Ralphy you have been found out! Apart from you being quite excited in the video, that bottle is nearly half. Those together tell me you really like this single malt. You also talk about experts, well the definition of an expert is an ex is a has been and a spurt is a drip under pressure.
Seriously though I can't buy this specific batch in this part of the world, but I can get the AD 04.22.02, and at a good price provided it is as good as the AD 10.22
Cheers to you.
Love this one I was lucky enough to get a bottle
Thought this was sold out but I found a retailer who got stock back in so bought another bottle. I believe it will be a future collectors classic this bottling.
Ralfy, have you tried Bunnahbhain Stiuireadair? Un-chill filtered and natural colour that you can get in supermarkets such as ASDA for just over £30. It’s half decent stuff
I had to dive in and have the AD/ 09:22 at 58.4% and I love it, sometimes taking the chance on a new distillery is a good thing 🙂
However when it comes to a Madeira cask nothing will ever beat that 13 yr GlenMoray 🙂
I haven't done any research, so I might be completely wrong here, but could it be that the 'AD' is just short for Anno Domini? It is followed by the bottling date, so that would make sense (sort of...). Just a thought ;)
Now that I'm here: a big thank you for your videos. They are always entertaining and informative (and well-balanced in that!). Greetings from Nijmegen, the Netherlands.
Another great review Ralfy. I love what Ardnamuchan are doing too but does anyone feel like it’s groundhog day again? It wasn’t that long ago that Kilchoman, and Glengyle were the new darlings of the whisky world doing everything right. I’d say Kilchoman is more Springbank in their production methods than Ardnamuchan, yet they get very little fan fair these days for that fact, in spite of their excellent whisky. Curious.
Yes it's strange that Kilchoman have slightly slipped off the radar and that's something I've commented on recently. What's even more perplexing is that their whisky is getting better and better. Maybe it's something to do with Islay losing it's most favoured region status to Campbeltown, now that Glengyle, and especially Glen Scotia, are both producing outstanding whisky.
You could add Wolfburn to that list
Kilchoman’s pricing keeps them out of reach of most people I think…the good stuff all seems to sit around £80 where there’s too much competition
@@darienbragg4826 so basically it's just not very good 😂
I have a bottle of a Madeira rum, matured in Madeira wine casks from 15 years, cask strength. “970 rum”. Hope you are able to try it someday. Here’s my mention.
UK Rum Club has a tasting with this in it on Friday!
Excellent scotch . Another favorite.
Have you ever had the same whiskey before and after chill filtration to get a side by side comparison Ralfy? I’m not sure how you could do that but I’d love to see it.
Glendronach 12 y o is a case in point. CF has stripped all the mouthful out of the dram imo. The taste is identical but seems thinner as less oils present to coat the tongue so less longevity in the finish. Industry uses CF to remove impurities to help standardise batch variation. It's a cheap and lazy fix by the distilleries involved who do this.
Wait ... a madeira-finished rum? Can you ship a dram of that to Texas when it's ready? 😂😛😛 Sounds amazing!
i got half a bottle of AD 10.21.06 left, 10.22 looks darker in colour
I don´t care about the coloring. And by that I mean that I don’t care if the color is pale or light. I’ll rather have a light colored whiskey with no caramel added, than a dark fake colored one. I’ve only been an enthusiast for about 6 months now, but I have already started to ignore 40% whisky’s, chill filtered whisky’s and over priced big brands. My favorite distilleries at the moment is Adnamurchan, Clynelish and Deanston.
I predict that in 5-10 years time the majority of bottles bought by real whisky enthusiasts will be from the new distilleries such as Ardnamurchan, Lochlea, Lindores, Kinsbarns, Wolfburn, Glen Wyvis, Lagg, Torabhaig, Raasay, Glasgow, Ardnahoe, etc, plus the slew of excellent new English distilleries.
Visited Torabhaig May 2022 and enjoyed it, don’t ship to US😒
@@brentkasl6510 I’ve bought several bottles of Torabhaig at my local Total Wine in Fairview Heights, IL….both the First Edition and the Allt Gleann Second Edition. They may not ship to individuals, but they ship to US distributors.

What is an "expert"? What do you have to have learned to be an "expert"? I mean in Whisky ...
You certainly need an expert - i.e. someone who knows what they're doing - to make the wort/beer and turn it into a spirit.
You certainly need an expert to chose the right casks to mature that spirit and turn it into a good Whisky.
You certainly need an expert to vat and blend the spirits that make up a single malt (or blended malt, or even a blended Scotch) or chose the right casks that are worth selling as single casks.
However, the expert for what happens on your tongue, what you like or not, what you find interesting or not - that expert are only you alone!
And you can become more and more of an expert by tasting Whiskies and informing yourself how they are made.
In that sense, you, Ralfy, are an expert. And since you know quite a bit, we all profit from your insights.
I found as I've gone deeper in to my whiskey journey. I found myself gravitating to whiskeys that are a higher APV, non-chill filtered and natural coloured. This blogger should definitely be referred to as a propagandist. Non-chill filtering take so much flavoured away from the whiskey it's unsettling. The best comparison I've ever had was being able to compared a standard official bottling of Delmore port beside an independent bottling of Delmore matured in a port cast. There is no comparison between the two. The non-chill filtered independent bottling had such a deeper and more rich flavoured. What this independent bottler did was present Dalmore as it should be. Allowing the whiskey to express its fullness with more complexity. This was in large part due to the fact that the independent bottler didn't chill filter the whiskey kept it cast strength and didn't add any colourant.
may you should make a video about the marks you give. i dont get it...
Is this a normal malt review or a review embedded in a little extra? 😏
Make the videos as long as you want bud, the real malt mates will watch and enjoy to the end!
Hi Ralfy. The way you described this whiskey , super rich, super concentrated, kind of reminded me of a blender in the US named BARREL. Everything they put out there is presented at cask strength, non chill filtered and naturally colored. And I mean EVERYTHING they put out there. My first bottle from them was Barrel Seagrass , a blend of rye whiskeys. I never knew what an oily whiskey was until I tried this one. And you really feel like you’re tasting a whiskey concentrate, that’s how flavorful it is. I’m only mentioning this because I know every once and awhile you taste and review American whiskies, so if you ever get the chance …
A young distillery which will become a cult whisky providing they continue with the best way that they are making their whisky.
What annoys me, is the disappointment of vast missed opportunities in all those chill-filtered brands. Such a waste.
I tried the Balvenie 15 Madeira and felt a bit underwhelmed with it. It lacks flavor from the Madeira finish influence.
That seems to becoming more common with Balvenie. I had a bottle earlier last year that I was pretty disappointed with
@@terrortower666 the same happened with the 14 and the 21.
@@ADSCPYes, it was the 14 that I tried, the ‘Caribbean Cask’. I think for quality Balvenie these days you’ve gotta go to auction, in recent times they just keep producing subpar bottlings.
Love your Style Rafly, honestly. Do your own known understood opinion...
Ralfy, should this be an integrity malt mark, or does the young age keep it from being one?
Perhaps because the bottle is technically a no age statement? But if their QR code works (it can be a bit flaky) you can get info about each cask that went into the batch. That includes the age. So maybe it’s a gray area for Ralfy’s system? It’s integrity enough for me.
Bottled in 2022. How old is it? Sounds lovely. Oh,,,,,, how much is it?
Got a bottle of 10/21.06
A very decent bottle of alcohol indeed
first thumbs up nd now i watch👍
To fully comprehend the differences made when chill filtration and added colorant are used, I'd expect two bottles of the same spirit, one filtered and colored, and one not filtered nor colored, would be the way to discover the actual impact of the processes on our smell and taste experiences. A direct A-B comparison.
You claim ANY bottle of whisky at high strength, unchill filtered and natural color, ignoring its age, origin, cask maturation, etc., will say all there is to be said on the subject. I doubt that. Despite your confidence in the procedure.
To people in the industry who focus on Ralfy being "misinformed" - please realize, that at this point it doesn't matter what Ralfy thinks/says. The word is out, he is merely echoing what the multitudes think. No new distillery can hope to be taken seriously if they chill-filter and artificially tint their malt. Chill-filtration and coloring is why I don't buy Bowmore, Lagavulin, Macallan, Glenfarclas, etc. I've tried them, they are tasty distilleries and I want to like them but not gonna spend my money with that presentation (aka "blanded scotch whisky"). PLENTY of fish in the malt sea for my money. Please pay attention.
Highland Park Barrier filters their Whisky
. . . with big, Big barriers in the filters 😊
All distilleries filter in some way. Depends on whether it is part of the distillation process itself or post distillation to protect discharge pumps or filtering out crud prior to loading storage tanks / tankers.
Wow, Ralfy, a prize for everyone that commented? That’s very generous of you!
Rather guessing there is a fraud going on! Beware!
. . . correct, fraudsters. Reported and blocked.

Rally I am relatively new to whisky but follow your vids my go to whisky is Kildonan but recently on a trip to oban I was put onto ardnamurchan ad/11:16 and in a 360 turn I fealty enjoyed can you pls review this
Ment kilchoman
So u gave this 85/100 at cask strengh natural col and unchill maderia finish. But u gave gave glenfiddich maderia 91/100 at 40% & chill filtered so u proved there point perfectly hahaha
I don't know what compels bottlers to add the extra artificial color so much. I mean, cheap whisky, okay, consumers like to see intensity. But adding color to £60 or more expensive single malts? Seems dumb. Some of the best ones in my bar are very pale, and I couldn't care less about the color.
A “like” for the comment and I’d like to add another for correct use of “could’NT care less”.
@@elduderino3120 Thank you. I'm not a native speaker so I haven't caught all the incorrect trends. Although I have started messing up "it's" and "its" recently. I don't know why.
Cmon ralphy 28minutes ?? I love u but it’s getting too long 🥲
How about a 30 minute video, where you tell us your thoughts on chill filtering, then you don't bring it up again for 6 months? Deal?
Hilly-ho Rafly! You are being a bit of a rascal, are you not? Too long of a stream, just to ramble & rant. Long time follower, however, your getting a bit long winded. No time for the chit chat, lad. Appreciate it if you cut the vid time back down. Cheerio...
