Please keep doing this, you’re a wonderful resource and your videos feel like being ‘home’, even though I’m in the uk. You and Roy and Ralfy and Jeff and Jeremy and Whiskylock are like family
I have heard great things about this Whisky and the 18yr but have never had it. Really like your channel here's to at least another 8 years. Cheers!
Thanks buddy. Cheers!
Thank YOU, ROb ! Happy 2024 !
Happy New Year
I found your channel sometime around 2019 if I remember correctly. Thank you for your insight, dedication, and expertise as it has helped me tremendously enjoy my own whisky experience. Cheers!
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words. Much appreciated. Happy holidays. Cheers!
Rob, FANTASTIC list! Thanks and have a great holiday season
Cheers Tony, all the best.
Never stop Rob, keep it up and thanks for all of the wonderful videos
Thanks Paul. Cheers my friend.
Got a bottle of AnCnoc 24 for my birthday. Possibly the last opportunity to acquire a single malt from the 90s at around £150.
I think this might be the end as well.
Cheers Rob !
Cheers Chris
Great list Rob. Happy holidays bro
Happy holidays buddy
AnCnoc 24 is a banger. Great pick, man. Cheers and Merry Christmas.🥃
Thanks buddy. Merry Christmas.
great work😊your channel is one of my most reviewed one thru out my whisky journey. Merry Christmas to your family🎉
Merry Christmas. All the best to you and yours.
Great top 6! Keep on keeping on! Hope you have a great 2024!
Thanks! You too!
great stuff.
Cheers
Didn't know they put more first fill sherry casks into the mix for the Ancnoc 24. Thx for the info!
Gave a good one Rob - well deserved
Not certain but would be the only thing that explains the darker colour
Great vid! Merry Christmas to you and your family. Savi :)
Thanks for tuning in Savi. Merry Christmas to you and yours as well 🙏🏻
Man some proper whiskies on that list Rob 🙌
Cheers
Merry Christmas Rob enjoyed your video. Have not tried any of your choices yet. I did have a hazel burn 10 this year. It was amazing. I’m glad I have a back up.
Merry Christmas my friend. Cheers.
Great top 5 2023👍🏻
Like them all😋
Thanks 😁
Nice! Thanks for the great list. I honestly have to thank you for opening my eyes to other amazing whiskeys out there. Like many, I began with bourbon but have been venturing into scotches and rums. It’s been really nice discovering some great bottles, and avoiding the bourbon world.
Congrats on eight years of great content brother. Hope you and your fam have a great holiday. Cheers!
Happy holidays my friend. All the best to you and your family.
Solid list. Flaming Heart proudly behind my home bar, now just need to find the rest of this list 😆 Cheers Rob, thanks for all you do. Happy Holidays Everyone! ❤
Thanks my friend. Happy Holidays.
Ancnoc 24 is a great dram with decent price!!! I highly recommend this wonderful Bottle, thank you your decent contribution to the community
Cheers
Congrats on 8 yrs Rob. Enjoy watching your channel especially the whisky rant’s. My bottle of AnConc 24 is still closed, the 18 is also a very good price/ quality ratio malt which I throughly enjoy.Slàinte Rob
Totally agree. Love the 18. Cheers.
Great list! That ancnoc might be one of the best value buys right now
I think so too! Cheers bud.
Jeremy wuddup....Merry Xmas brother.
@@carloslugo32 Same to you and your family, cheers man
Thanks for the thought and good vibe.
Definitely Acnoc won the title.
Tried the 18 year old version and loved it!
Cheers my friend.
Great choices and things for me to search for
Cheers
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to you. I need to look for an Agnoc, never had the pleasure to try one.
Merry Christmas and happy new year
What can we say Roberto… Fantastic List! Bravo 👏 ciao e buon Natale 🎄 S.
Buon Natale Sandro
Great pick Rob, hard to argue with anything Ancnoc makes. Cheers for a great 2023 and here's to an even better 2024.
Have a happy new year my friend. Cheers!
Thanks for running an honest and informative channel Rob! Here's to 8 more great years of drams!
Thanks so much. Cheers my friend 🙏🏻
This list is spot on in my opinion. Ancnoc 24 and Longrow 18 are two of the best whiskies I have ever tried.
Thanks my friend.
Great lineup. Merry Xmas big G! #Cheers
Merry Christmas my friend. What’s your list look like this year?
Hey Rob great list. I managed to get a bottle of Ancnoc 24 after your review recently and look forward to trying it. I assume you've got a 2023 release which is what I read on my bottle. Out of the other 4, I purchased Tamdhu 15 earlier in the year and would love to get a bottle of Tamdhu 18 but it's priced too rich at the LCBO right now. Thank you for all that you do here on your channel and also the rant with Jeremy. Cheers to you and yours for the holiday season and Merry Christmas Rob!
Thanks for always tuning in for my content Rohit. Much appreciated my friend. Happy Holidays to you and yours. All the best.
Great review! 18 and 24 yo acnoc I agree they are amazing!
Thanks! Cheers
Congrats on your 8 years of rewiewing, Rob ! Nice list here, and you're making me even curious with your pick of the year, as I have one (& opened) bottle only & it is not that recent so not as dark as yours, so can't imagine it can be even better, wow...Alas another great distillery slowly disappearing from shows in our country weirdly....Cheers & here's to not 8 but 24 (because you're young, lol) more years of reviewing ! 🥃
Thanks my friend. Cheers!
Just grabbed the last bottle at Master of Malt! My hunch is that when it comes back, the price will be higher. Happy Christmas, Rob! Been watching for a few years. Love the rants with Jeremy.
Merry Christmas. Thank you 🙏🏻
What we've been waiting for! Great choice with the AnCnoc 24, I want to try one of the new batches now...
I just had a look and I found the receipt for a 2018 bottle of the 24yr for.....wait for it.....$149. 😢
Thanks for 8 years of amazing content, you've really helped me with so much knowledge and so many good times, especially those live streams that would go until 1:30am...
(Man, I miss the live streams!)
Cheers to 8 more years!🥃
Thanks for all of the support. Cheers!
Outstanding review and list. Totally agree with the 22SB15. Thanks to you I have 2. Check out the 23SB18. Along the lines of the 22SB15 but better. Ancnoc 24 is a banger. I cant find the 2023s in the US or find to import. Much more expensive here. Glad I have a backup of the 2021 due to your review!
Happy to hear I’ve helped David. Cheers and all the best to you and yours.
Hey Rob, haven't commented in a while but been watching most of the videos, the whiskey rants, Merry christmas to you and your family. haven't been buying many spirits lately but took note of some of these if they pop up in Ontario.
Merry Christmas Brian. All the best to you and yours.
Great list Rob! As soon as these more sherried batches of the Ancnoc 24 came out I jumped at getting a bottle. Have not cracked my hazelburn 12, but glad to know it's better than the 15.
The 12 is leagues better than the 15
@@WhiskyInThe6 hey Rob, will you be reviewing the Ballechin Burgundy cask?
Lovin the bar sign on the counter. People gotta know. Mother in law got me one a while back. Have only tried the younger siblings of those on your list and theyre all champs in my collection (Ledaig 10, Tamdhu 15, AnCnoc 18)
Cheers Rob. Happy Holidays
Great choices Rob, a couple of my favorites fall into this category. I’m also surprised that AnCnoc 24 continues to be available at this affordable price. Best Wishes for the festive season.
Happy Holidays Mike. All the best.
It's good that you are mentioning the source, the availability in Canada, and the price in Ontario. Thanks. Perhaps you can also tell us how to order and get unavailable Whisky into Ontario if possible at all. Thanks.
Pretty much any website that sells liquor in Alberta will send to you from what I’ve seen.
@@WhiskyInThe6 Can you tell me how you go about doing that while living in Ontario. And can you tell me which site? Thanks!
Great list Rob, can't really argue with these picks. Completely understand the choice to keep the Springbank 15 off the list. Glad you mentioned it though as they still deserved the recognition. Also the G&M Caol Ila 23 and Glen Scotia 22 were some of my favourites as well. That Flaming Heart 5th is a bottle I adore. I could go on but I'll stop haha. Merry Christmas buddy, and happy new year. 🥃 🎄
Cheers buddy. Merry Christmas 🙏🏻
Hell of a pick for 2023. The price alone is awesome. Cheers Rob Merry Christmas 🎄 🥃
Merry Christmas my friend
Excellent choices mate .🏴👍
Thanks buddy. Cheers
An absolutely mouthwatering list! Would love to see any of those available at the SAQ for a "reasonable" price. Especially the Ledaig 18, Tamdhu 18 and AnCnoc 24.
Congrats on celebrating 8 years of solid whiskytube content Rob! Wishing you all the best this holiday season and continued success with your channel. Slàinte Mhath!
Thank you Peter. Merry Christmas.
Fantastic review! From the heart. Ancnoc 24 is a well meaning whisky for 2023. Captures taste, quality and value. Everything that all distillers should strive more for. Salute to another 8 more years…at least!
Cheers my friend. Thanks 🙏🏻
Tamdhu has always been great. I've never had the 18 though. Flaming heart is absolutely killer.
You’ll love the 18. Cheers bud
Love those crayoned greys you added for this review Rob 😉😜😜
lol I wish.
Makes ya feel any better at 45 im now 90% head and 80% bearded grey…i find my malts taste better 😎
Great list, Rob! Was hoping to get to try the Hazelburn 12 but couldn’t procure it. Surprised there wasn’t anything from Benromach. CS and Peated Sherry hit the spot for me.
There’s a whole bunch I have to review. Likely next year.
Love Ancnoc 24. Finished my first bottle and keeping my 2nd bottle intact. The best whiskey for the money.
Up there for sure
Together with Ralfy, this channel is my favorite. In my humble opinion, they complement each other very well. I wish you many more years of great whiskies.
I have a question. Did I understand correctly that the Ancnoc 24 bottled in 2022 already made this leap in quality or only the one bottled in 2023?
I wish everyone here a happy and healthy new year.
They’ve been bottling the Ancnoc 24 for a long while now but the two I’ve tasted from 2023 are really special. Thanks for watching, really appreciate it. Happy New Year.
Great review Rob, great to see AnCnoc getting the recognition that it deserves and like you say the 18yr is also a superb whisky, it also just proves that some of the prices that the other distilleries are charging are outrageous for similar aged releases, there is no need for it, just pure greed, I stopped buying Macallan and Balvenie a long time ago, you can get much better whiskies for a fraction of the price, merry christmas, looking forward to more reviews next year 👍🥃
Thanks David. Merry Christmas. All the best to you and yours.
Balblair 25 YO Official Bottling Is Also Exorbitantly Priced Relative To The Vintages Prior To Repackaging Exercise!
Which I still can’t wrap my head around.
Good choice , all whisky nice ) Slainte !
Thanks 🙏🏻
Excellent picks Rob. Where and for how much did you purchase the Ancnoc 24?
Bsw for around 200 cad
Love me some Hazelburn, just so hard to get these days.
Definitely
GREAT PICK!! ANcnoc 24 !!!
Can't disagree with any item on your list..! Cheers
Cheers
8 Years, wow how time has flown by!! Congrats to the 🐐 of CanadaWhiskeyTubes!! GTS will make #1 one of these years 😂 Merry Christmas!!
Lol 😂 Merry Christmas brother. Hope you and yours have an amazing holiday.
Lol, i have a 2022 springbank 15 in the glass watching this. Totally, random!
The 2015 flaming heart you listed at 4 is one of the most important whiskies of my whisky journey. Master piece.
Hazelburn 12 - unreal for and shocked it was just 12 years old. Fresh fruits and amazing.
I guess I'll be looking for that longrow 18. They're just not available by me.
I'd love to get that anconoc, never seen one for sale. I've got a small sample of an older bottling.
The best! Cheers.
Rob, you've been one of the most influential whisky reviewers for me over the years. It's amazing to see you at 8 years into this. Keep up the great work, and thank you for this.
That is really nice to hear my friend. Thanks so much for tuning in over the years and putting out some awesome content of your own. Merry Christmas 🙏🏻
@@WhiskyInThe6 merry chistmas rob! And keep these great things coming!
Great review! Did you mean that you thought the Hazelburn 12 from 2022 was better than the 15 from 2022 (54.2%) or the more recent 15 from Sep 2023 (55.8%)? I've only ever tried the Hazelburn 10 but through sheer luck I recently picked up the 15 yr from 2023 and am looking forward to trying it. Thank you Rob for everything you do - cheers and Merry Christmas!
The 15 from 2022. Haven’t tried the new one. Thanks, Merry Christmas.
I’ve Got Nothing Against Finished Scotch Malt Whisky Expressions But I Appreciate The Folks At Knockdhu For Keeping To Their Tradition Of Full Maturation Centric Scotch Expressions And Not Bombarding The Market With Limited Releases Like i.e Ardbeg, No Disrespect To Ardbeg But It’s Just Too Much. Proof Is That You Don’t Even Have No Ardbeg In You Top 6 Despite The Volume Of Their Releases This Year Only!🥃🇿🇦
Amen. Cheers
Merry Christmas Rob
My only question is where are the deanston whiskeys, I am a devoted deanston organic oloroso fan boy, and other deanston's as well, I just got a bottle of deanston 12year old oloroso sherry cask, and it is superb whiskey, I have many bottles of deanston on my shelves, and I drink deanston almost every day, love your reviews, have been a great fan of your channel for years, keep up the great reviews !!!
Have to get back into Deanston. Will likely pick up the 12 this year.
@WhiskyInThe6
Hi Rob
Get the deanston 12year old oloroso cask finish, it's a great whiskey, if you need to know where to pick one up, let me know !!
Which year n batch of longrow 18 u have there Rob? Really sherried from the colour of the liquid 👍
It’s the 2022
what is the date on your longrow 18? i’ve got two and both are incredible
The year on it is 2022
Great video! Saw the Millstone 25 for TBWC on your IG, curious where you'd rank that- very keen to try that one, though it's quite costly.
Also, LOVE Tamdhu 18.... everything modern Mac wishes it was; hope they don't mess things up like Mac did...
Tough to saw. Letting it open up a bit for dipping into it
Exactly
I'm in Ontario as well. Where do I buy the anCnoc 24? Not seeing this at LCBO.
I bought from BSW in alberta
Great whisky the ancnoc 24, bought it in 2021 for €100 and now it’s €200. So double the price here. Ps. Have to say the €100 was discounted. 😉
Good holidays for you too! 🥃
That’s quite the hike.
@@WhiskyInThe6 yes, but still a good 24/25 price. Just a few euros more then glenfarclas 25.
Great list Rob quite different from most but where can one find Ancnoc 24 In Ontario?
It comes and goes. It’s currently available at bsw Alberta.
@@WhiskyInThe6Thanks! Just checked sold out 😜
Can't get any of these in BC, except for the Ancnoc 24.....which is priced at $300.....welcome to my hell.
Great list though, as always, Rob!
I think the lcbo sells it for similar. Hopefully the price doesn’t change in Alberta.
Great selection Rob. Macallan and Balvenie are disgustingly over-priced. I will never buy those two brands again....actually have never paid a red cent for a Macallan. Have a great Christmas. Oh, and have you had any of the 2023 Springbank 15 bottlings? I'm trying to get a better idea of sulphur contamination on this year's releases. Seems like some have noticed and others haven't. Great show, keep up the great content.
Haven’t tried the 2023 yet.
To another 8 years!!!
Cheers!
Hey, love the channel,....I'm in Waterloo,...can you tell me where you get your "hard to get" whiskies from? Is there a website you can tell me about??
Try bsw, liquor lodge, malt and grains or abc liquor in Alberta
You're the best, thank you
Not sure I like you giving away the keys to the kingdom although, to be fair I am not in the market for pricey whiskies. Thus far C$100 has been my limit so it wasn't likely I would be buying the AnCnoc 24. Cheers from Edmonton.@@WhiskyInThe6
@@GlenLossie cheers
Tell me the bottling date of Ancnoc 24, please.
Can’t remember. I mention it in the review I believe
Are there any peats that don't taste like burnt hair??
All of them lol
$260 (US) for the 24 year old in the Chicago area.
Still reasonably but I think that’s a retail choice as apposed to a cost increase from the distillery.
Ancnoc 24 is worth it at double its current price. Then it still doesn’t cost what a Bunna 25 costs.
Very true
Hey Rob. "Whisky in the 6". #6 not available in Ontario. #5 $285 in Ontario. #4 Both not available in Ontario. #3 Not available in Ontario. #2 Not available in Ontario. #1 not available in Ontario. Wish I could agree with your list but can't buy those bottles.
But you can get them delivered to Ontario from Alberta when they are brought in. I’m in New Brunswick and if I did a list of only what is available through ANBL there wouldn’t be much choice.
@@KnickKiller did not know that. Please teach me how to do that. Would be very grateful.
Google Craft Cellars and BSW. Good places to start. There are other stores that deliver from out west but those should open you up to much more selection. 🥃
@@KnickKiller much appreciated! Will give them a call.
All available thanks for the assist @tbcperry
Sadly not a blue collar channel.
I’d like to think I have something for everyone. Need a recommendation in a particular price range?
