I'm glad I watched your reaction to this. Afterwards, I bought 2 bottles when it went on sale near me for US$50, and (I'm admittedly a peathead) I find this so charming and inviting, it's hard to not choose it any night over some of my Scotches. A really easy-drinking dram.
My bottle of Black Pitts too a LONG time to really open up and show more of the peat smoke. The Sauternes cask is dominant when opened but after about 6 months of being open the smoke framed the fruit really well. But, for less money you can get better Islay whiskies.
We will definitely try Blackpitts based on your review. We just reviewed Connemara and liked it, especially after a few other drinks. Your videos are very informative. Love the Irish Whiskey month theme. Slainte Maith!
This a whiskey that needs to be approached with the correct mindset... We were deeply disappointed the first time we tasted it. Second time round we really enjoyed it 👍🏻
$80 is a typical price and that is pretty high for a NAS whisky that is probably 4 y/o. They are doing the same with the Pot Still which is typically $85 and probably 4 y/o. By comparison you can buy Lagavulin 16 for $80 or Laphroaig 10 CS for $90.
Check out Dungeons & Drams!

Thats a fair point and I love me some Islay. But it's IRISH WHISKEY MONTH!
Teeling is my usual pick, i used to live in Dublin close to the distillery, I guess it stayed with me. Can't wait to give this one a try.
Tried this one at the distillery a few months ago and it definitely had a heavy peat flavor, but thoroughly enjoyed our experience.
Very good video Bill! Thanks for sharing. Just picked up a bottle for 45$. Haven’t cracked it yet, will do it today. Slàinte.☘️

Thanks! Enjoy!
Looking forward to the DNDrams. Good review here 🥳
I’m really happy now. I just got this on clearance at a Costco Liquor for $30. I may have to go back and buy some more.
Thats an amazing price! Definitely crack it first and see if you like it but that's awesome

Ardbeg is usually around 55ppm!
0_0 Well.... Definitely going to watch Dungeons & Drams. I already love your channel, and now I know you also play D&D?? Yes!
Can't wait to see you there!
Had it in my hand the other day. The price was too high for a teeling. I have three of their expressions and they are well worth 40-50 dollars.
I could see that. This is definitely something that Teeling put a little extra effort into but it's almost twice the price

"Reduce that medicinal quality that a lot of people don't like in peated whiskey" that's what I DO like
You and me both. But I hear the opposite quite often
Those notes remind me of Ardbeg Wee Beastie (BBQ, crisp, fruity). How do you think they compare?
They sound very similar but they're definitely different
I have had Covid for the last 2 weeks and cant taste anything....
Sorry to hear that.
I’ve just ordered a cask strength version of this. Have you reviewed it?
Nope! Didn't know they made one. I hope it's amazing!
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary I’ll let you know!!!
$79...????
by me it's only $49
In my opinion the lemon turns into pineaple taste.
46% ABV and it's 96 proof? What is this, amateur hour?
Haha seriously, thanks for the review!
Gha! Math is hard. That's what happens when you use templates :)
Sibilant mic. Please fix.
