Fantastic video and whisky (oops Scotch) lists. So proud some of my offerings made it on your lists. Bob H/kb and I have good tastes with the Balblair 90 and OP 21.
Nice share here, liked the individual opinions, full of ideas! And Mark, the Blair Athol... 💪 Andrew picking a non-peated 😮, Drew bringing Deanston love 🎯 and Shawn surprised the hell outta me! Great stuff. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
It's been a great year! Thank you Roy for being a part of it. We are really looking forward to where the journey takes us in 2019....hopefully to your neighborhood..... :-) ~Mark
So glad deanston is up there as a favourite. I live 40 minutes from the distillery as it’s my absolute favourite dram. I’ve many expressions and always popping in to their shop. Done the tour many times and never get disappointed. Have a lovely holiday season. Regards, John.
A little early for naming a 2018 "best of" isn't it? You never know... Santa Claus just might leave you something special that would make your "Top 5" list ... that is, IF you've been good this year! On second thought, knowing you guys Santa will probably leave you a bottle of Johnny Walker White Walker under your tree.
OUCH....LMAO!!! You're correct, we don't know what the last few weeks will bring, but we were getting bugged pretty hard about getting this out.... Now you have me worried about Santa....thanks Erik!! ~Mark
I was intrigued by all the love for Deanston 20 so I sought it out at a scotch bar when I was in NY last week. What a great dram! Tried to find it locally in So Cal and not a bottle to be found. Total Wines had a bottle in the Bay Area about 5 minutes from my brother's house so I had him pick up the bottle for me and he's bringing it down for Christmas! Thanks for the suggestion, guys!!
Heck yeah! So glad you got a chance to have a dram and now a bottle for yourself. This is exactly why we're starting doing this years ago to help share our love and passion and hopefully help someone with a good buying decision. Cheers, Patrick! -Drew
@@Scotch4Dummies Thanks, Drew! I got the bottle last night and will wait for a good occasion to open it. Was already planning to open and share my Glengoyne 21 with family for Christmas. Slainte!
Gonna be a good night for sure! I cracked open the Deanston 20 last night during the end of our live show. Glengoyne 21 is pretty uber too! Haopy Holidays!
Thanks for another year of insight, information and opinions. :) I watch more than my communication [or lack thereof] would indicate. If you ever find yourselves in 'Vegas, reach out...Would love to share a dram or two. Happy Holidays to you and yours.
Love the Wolfburn shout out! My main liquor store now carries all 3 Wolfburns per my request. I'm going through the Aurora right now and its got a delicious creamy sherry texture.
@@Scotch4Dummies Thanks for reviewin" By the way I bought a 15 year old Highland Park bottle in one of the Moscow liquor stores, old release of 2014. I found it on a dusty shelf under the counter. Seems like it'd been there for years!))) It cost me 4800 roubles (around 80 bucks) with gifted engraved flask of 150 gr. Do you think it's a fair decent value? I ain't opened it yet. Gonna keep it corked for a while) For the better times so to speak)))
We hope so too, but in the mean time don't be a stranger here! We're live every Thursday evening @ 10PM EST and there's a great group of people to get to know and share in the journey! Hope to see you there! ~Mark
Loved all the lists, guys! I'm definitely on the Deanston train. Instead of sugarplum fairies dancing in my head, I'm dreaming of that GlenDronach 18 Allardice this Christmas!
Need to seek out that Wolfburn Morven now for sure...hadn't heard anything about that prior to this video. 2018 was the first year of my own personal whiskey journey, and basically my entire collection of ~90 bottles has been acquired in the last 12 months (yikes!). Here's my own Top 5s, expanded to 3 lists to account for Bourbon and World also: Scotch (excl SMWS): 5) Lagavulin - 12 Year Old 2017 Edition 4) Caol Ila - 18 Year Old (standard peated edition) 3) Balvenie - Peat Week 14 Year Old 2002 2) Octomore - 10 Year Old 2nd Edition 1) Glen Scotia - 1992 The Whisky Agency (for TWE) 25 Year Old Honorable Mention: Highland Park 12, which is the only bottle of Scotch I finished all year! Bourbon: 5) (tie) Wild Turkey Rare Breed 116.8 & Elijah Craig Barrel Proof A118 4) Stagg Jr 2) Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof 2) Colonel EH Taylor Single Barrel 1) Booker’s - Batch 2016-01 “Booker’s Bluegrass” Honorable Mention: Four Roses Single Barrel, which is the only bottle of Bourbon I finished all year! World Whiskey: 3) Kavalan Bourbon Oak Matured 2c) Tyrconnel 16 Year Old 2b) Redbreast 12 Cask Strength 2a) Green Spot ….have to have a blind Irish shootout to break this 3-way tie! 1) Hibiki 17 (pour at a bar, only one on the list where I don’t have the bottle) Hopefully I slow down my purchasing in 2019, but continue to learn and explore and enjoy the vast and wonderful world of whiskey. Thanks to @Scotch4Dummies and the rest of #whiskeytube / #whiskytube for all their help along the way!
NICE, good show Kyle! I see you're a bit of a peat head (everyone is...whether they know it now or not)! It appears that you had an incredible 2018 and we're excited to see what happens in 2019! Cheers, ~Mark
Mark: For sure but I am impressed with your camera presence, seeing all of you were outdoors in a public place. All of your deliveries were Spot On and natural. All of you work naturally with the camera and as Real People=Non-Actors that is natural talent.

Great content. How about a top 5 of all time? I would enjoy seeing that. Ok, I'll share my faves of 2018: 1. Glenmorangie Astar 2. Ardbeg Corryvreckan 3. Glenlivet Nadurra Peated 4. Lagavulin 8 5. Longhorn 16 Thanks Dummies!
Mark you're my man!!!! I've tried 4/5 on your list. Will try to get hands on Deanston 20. I saw that you made a video for a Xmas gift idea and set a price point. My recommendation(you won't be dissapointed) is Glenlivet 18. I could just drink it over and over again. The price here in Croatia is arround 70$
I hope you can find that Deanston 20, you'll LOVE IT! You're not the only person I know that loves that Glenlivet 18 for the price! Thanks for watching Kesimir and hope to see you around in 2019!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! ~Mark
Great video guy's! My top 5 in no order are Macallan edition #2, Bailblair 1999 (17year) second release, Old Pulteney 21, Longmorn 16 (the new one), and a tie for Clynelish 14 and Glencadam 10. So many more were fantastic there is a lot of excellent Scotch out there at reasonable prices for the quality you are getting. Good time to be a Whisky nerd. Cheers
Love love love this comment! It is the essence of why we put out such a video. Our top ones are only as good as we say they are.....we want to hear yours and when eveybody share then we have tons of great suggestions, advice and options! Thanks Donner Pass Whiskey, agreed it's a Grrreeeat time!! ~Mark
@@Scotch4Dummies Your pick of Blair Athol and that Roy had recommended it got me looking around and I found a independent bottling 19yr 10mo cask strength Blair Athol for a reasonable price. Can't wait to get off work and try it. Cheers
@@Scotch4Dummies This is great! It's 50% not cask strength and non chill filtered no color. If you have interest in getting this I got it at Total Wine: The Old Malt Cask, Blair Athol 19 was $120 at mine.
Funny, some of my favourite brands are Blair Athol, Glengoyne, Bruichladdich, Glendronach and Balblair, so I guess you could say that I have an overall taste for whisky of you 4 guys combined…….To be honest, I don't have any experience at all with Deanston (although they recommended it several times at our whiskyclub)……..It is already september 2019 now when I write this, and I am thinking about sending you a sample of something I MYSELF really liked in 2019 to send to you guys to try out in 2020...…..but I have heared that customs are pretty severe in the US when it comes to imported alcohol (I don't have a liquor-store), so, can you tell me more about that in case I want to send you something?...…...Thumbs up anyway from The Netherlands!
Great year for S4Ds. I thought I would quickly put my 2018 Top 5 together! Man, it was difficult! 😂😂Was not a quick process at all!!! Here is my countdown: #5- Caol Ila Distillers Edition 12yo Moscatel Cask #4- Tamdhu Batch No. 3 #3- Tie - Bladnoch 15yo Adela/ Old Malt Cask bottling Glencadam 19yo #2- Glencadam 21 😍 #1- Balblair ‘00 2017 bottling 😍😍😍😍😍🎉🎉🎉 I hope you have tasted some of these or can find them. All the best and roll on 2019!
I have a Tamdhu batch 3 sitting on the bar. We also have a couple of different Bladnoch to try and a Balblair 1999. Looking forward to them all - Shawn
Loved this video guys! I found a store locally that has Deanston 20 at $190. Yeesh. V&T has none anymore. But I'm going to go buy one today anyway, and see if it doesn't make my top 5.
@@Scotch4Dummies Drew, I know I will too! I'm a huge sherry fan, and often my tastes have aligned with yours on particular reviews. I mean 20 years in oloroso, I don't know how it can go wrong! I loved the Deanston 12 and 18 I've had too. I'm tempted to buy 2. They had 3 on the shelf the other day.
@@Scotch4Dummies LOL. BTW - Mr. G.'s in Noblesville has two more bottles of Deanston 20 on the shelf. But they are at $190 as mentioned above. It's a great shop though.
Great review. Really like how we get 5 from each of you. I am going to have to get a Wolfburn now. Here is my top 5 in no particluar order.

Really looking forward to 2019 and seeing what the distilleries come up with. Happy Holidays and sláinte!
Confused here? What do you mean by "real" scotches. The only one I can think of is the Stranger and Stranger that I scored, which I did call out as technically not a scotch. Give me some examples of what you are referring to.... ~Mark
Great selection. Here’s my list:
1. Lagavulin 12 (2018) 57,8 %.

I ain't arguing with that for one second....when and where are you pouring? ~Mark
I remember when Old Pult 21 was $120 a couple years ago...
We hope you stocked up then? I know I wish we had.... ~Mark
I remember when they were on sale three for five dollars in a bin next to the cash register at Wal-Mart.
what 5 whiskey do you recommend for the poor folks like me?
@@Scotch4Dummies thanks for the checklist Brother, Merry Christmas.
Glengoyne 21 had an espresso black coffee taste on the pallet next day.... But otherwise it's very nice

was a fun one! The reflection is always worth the time and effort. ~Mark
Sounds like some good ones!
God damn it I just bought two scotches and now I want to buy a Deanston too
I know I know...I'm there right now too. Just got two scotches and I want more. However, Deanston is where it's at! :-)

Talisker.
Come to Chicago guys. If I could I will meet you and have some scotch with you.
We have been talking about taking a trip up to Chicago. That’s always a good time
Never ever....compared to Ralfy...
Most of these are not real scotches
Confused here? What do you mean by "real" scotches. The only one I can think of is the Stranger and Stranger that I scored, which I did call out as technically not a scotch. Give me some examples of what you are referring to.... ~Mark

Two boring minutes to get to the point.
