      Good that it’s gained momentum again, had I not just dropped the vid I did when you originally challenged me I would have responded ages ago. Keen for the next ones to come!

    That thumbnail for the video is Gwhisky level!! Love it! Great picks. Hard to argue with any if them. Speyburn 18 is wonderful, but I'd probably go with Craigellachie 17. It's just a little more unique. Cheers Wade!

    • @McIntyresMalts

      It was you wearing a kilt, squatting with Phil's head on the left, Jeff whisky's head on the right, your bottle picks fanned out behind, and a tri-orange background. Hilarious and awesome! I'm not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but man, I sure do love me a good cover😂. Cheers Wade!

    Great list, Wade! The Ledaig 18 just became available in my area. I’m really looking forward to opening it. I keep hearing about the Speyburn 18. I may need to pick it up 🤔 Cheers!

    Great, top shelf picks, Wade. I really need to post my video on this topic ... (I understood the challenge to be a little bit closer to your first video on this topic, seeking representative bottles, so my choices in that upcoming video will not be able to compete with these ...).

    • @McIntyresMalts
      @McIntyresMalts  Місяць тому +2

      Thanks Tim. I definitely think it's open to a little bit of interpretation and given my original video I needed a little deviation from that concept so I wasn't just repeating myself.
      Looking forward to seeing what your choices are to my friend!

    The only Speyburn I had was the duty free Speyburn 10 at 46%abv and I did not enjoy that at all but I'm visiting the distillery in September so let's see if they can make me a fan. Solid pick with the Highlands, definitely agree with the Lowlands as it was my pick as well :) , bang on with the Campbeltown, Islands and Islay. Solid list brother, would be happy with all of these!
    Looking forward to Jon and Alan's picks.

    • @McIntyresMalts
      @McIntyresMalts  Місяць тому +1

      Yes I heard the Speyurn 10 isn't much to get excited about. I am keen to see what Jon and Alan come up with too

  • @DonnerPassWhisky
    @DonnerPassWhisky Місяць тому

    I like your go for broke approach ! My no price considered picks are. Speyside Craigalliche 23, Highlands anCnoc 18, Lowlands Bladnoch 11 (only because the 10 is no longer available) Campbeltown Longrow 18, Islands Arran 18, Islay Bruichladdich 18 Cheers Wade

    What about limited budget with 500$ for all regions ? What would you pick ?

    • @McIntyresMalts
      @McIntyresMalts  Місяць тому +1

      Not many single malts under $100 in my country, and if you include the unofficial region of the islands that’s six (decent*) single malts for $500 which isn’t possible in Australia…
      but let me have a crack at at-
      Speyside - Glen Moray Classic NAS $65
      Highlands - Glenmorangie X NAS $69
      Islay - Bowmore 9 $80
      Lowlands - Auchentoshan 12 $93
      Campbeltown - Kilkerran 12 $150
      Islands - Talisker 10 $90
      $547 was the best I could do with $500 budget, BUT…
      Me personally I wouldn’t actually recommend buying most of these.
      Good question and a fun exercise!
      I would just buy two or three really good whiskeys if I only had $500 to spend rather than one from each region.
