    I think most of us Single Malt aficionados would love to see distilleries release their single malts unchillfiltered and leave the chill filtering to the blends. Cheers!

    I lucked into a bottle of this around the time this UA-cam came out. By the time I tried it and loved it there was none left to be had. It's back now and I am stocking up.

    I’m tuning in for your thoughts on what I thought was a reasonable stab at natural presentation from Glenlivet, but also in the hope Scott’s another few percent closer to his old whisky ninja days... it’s getting there... 🙌

      Grabbing from the shelf, ad-hoc comparisons, seeing Bart getting distracted by what’s in the glass while Scott claims he doesn’t know what butterscotch is, 😅 a gradual build from intrigue to “I’m buying it up!” Feels like old times.... 🥰

    I have only tried this once, and I look forward to my second go at it. My first try, I got banana cream pie on the nose and tropical fruit for the taste. As for price point, it is very reasonable here in Denver, at a totalwine it is selling just shy of $50. I haven’t purchased a second bottle but I will consider it once I get more into the first bottle. Good review STDs.

    When whiskies are bottled right, 46% ABV minimum and non-chill filtered, magic happens. All Scotch whisky distilleries should take note!. Great review guys!.

To call it "light" or "soft" would be complimenting it too much. It's only use would be to introduce someone to whisky who's never, ever had one.
