Scotch It! You scotch gods. - Розваги
I Iike to start at 40%, then move up to 43, and then 46% ABV, followed by 48 or 50%, and then the sky's the limit... tHat's aboot where I am right aboot now LOL
thats what we call the stair step method!
It's the Walmart greeter of scotch. Perfect for if your just walking in the door and don't know what or where to look at.
great analogy!
I'm a beginner with seven bottles now. Glenmorangie Cadboll Estate is the only one I've purchased twice. So far Glenmorangie is top dog in my house. Hope you're feeling better Bart.
Good choice! thanks baconx4
I am enjoying these revisiting reviews. Cheers!
thanks Scout!
This one is tops for me for your younger single malts. I haven't tried a ton of them but so far, I like it most, and it's priced right.
we see why, thanks marc
Best scotch under $30 here in California, $28.99. Balvenie 12 is still my favorite "entry level" for a scotch noob to try, but on the cheap you can't beat GlenMo! It's got some pop, light honey and vanilla, decent mouth feel and finish. A less complex Balvenie 12...? Great "Back to Basics" guys, Cheers!
great points, thanks puremustard!
My first ever single malt a long time ago - will always have a soft spot for Glenmorangie especially the 10 year old
a great one to start with!
Cheers for the review guys. Glenmorangie 10 is something I haven't tried, so will need to add a bottle of that to the collection and give it a shot.
great price and a good whisky!
Had a friend, Bill the Scott, would bring a case or two of Glenmorangie 16 from his visits back home. He said you never find it in the US because they drink it all in Scotland... and left a bottle! It was wonderful and you know, I've never found it here.
probably one of those UK only releases. happens quite a bit.
Love the TOS (Tam O Shanter). Not sure about the colour though.
we like the way you talk
I still uses this one as a baseline for when I do blind tastings. A true basic! Good call :)
Good call!
Not probably Scott. It is the most honest 10 yo single malt available.
good point
We went a cruise to Bermuda in summer 2019. Had a drinks package. Was working my way through the free whisky list. Had a couple ho hum ones (Crown Royal, Seagrams 7, JW Red). Then I landed on the GlenMo 10. The experiment stopped and drank this all week (in moderation of course). I’ve had it before on many occasions, but it had been awhile. Damn good everyday dram. Crisp and clean as you both said. Liquid honey and fruit!
If you’re into gelato, it’s like the panna flavor (sweet cream essentially), which is the base for all gelato. GlenMo Original is like Panna. The I’m building block for everything GlenMo. Great stuff! Great review, Guys!
sounds like a good cruise! we were signed up for one in March and then COVID struck. No cruise, drinks package at home. Scott
Scotch Test Dummies We’ve seen your drinks package. Pretty amazing that you ever leave the house! 😜
The one that started it all for me. And still amazing
thanks Uncle Nate
Moreeengee 🤣😂 lov you guys. Bought two bottles of this juice back in 2017, yet to open one.
Must be a great eve starter dram..
Sláinte maltmates
You should! thanks Whisky Hike
I will always recommend Glenmorangie 10 for an easy drinking scotch for beginners.
exactly, thanks Nathan
Nice review, boys. Pretty spot on. This is a classic for a reason, and is great in its category for sure. Cheers.
We agree! thanks SES!
Great back to the basics review, gents! This is basically a must buy on any Scotch journey, and a good one! I can taste this in almost all the other ‘Morangies I’ve tried. Cheers Scott and Bart🥃
Couldn't agree more! thanks Richie!
One of the few B2B that I think I might like to revert back to. Its a nice price around here.
Good choice! and its a good dram!
The Glenmorangie 10 is my go to when it's on offer in the supermarket. Of the whiskies you've done so far, I think this one is the best bang for your buck, especially for new whisky drinkers. The Glenfiddich 15 year old solera is a great whisky to progress to or The Balvenie 12 or 14 year old 'Caribbean Cask' which is delicious.Great series guys!.P.S. If you guys had 'Scotch Test Dummies' themed tams they would sell pretty well.
love that fiddich 15, need to relook at the 14 caribbean cask.
Scotch Test Dummies i just got the 14 from Costco this week but prefer the 15 dramatically
My first thought when I saw you were doing this whisky was, "I wonder how they will pronounce it." When Bart pronounced it it, I wasn't expecting the dog bark. Nice touch - "WOOF!"
haha thanks Erik!
I really like the fact that the both of you score drinks according to how you feel them than according to other people's standards. When I check sites like whiskybase I realize that some people score whiskeys with the fear of not being respected as whiskey connoisseurs if they score higher.
we try to set the bar
iv yet to try the original, just picked up the 14 its my first Glenmorangie great value
the 10 is a must try!
You lucky people, getting 3% more alkahol than us europeans 🙁. I buy this from time to time, its a nice easy sipper .liked the review. Cheers.
that happens from time to time (the extra 3%). thanks David.
Cracked open the Glenmorangie "A Tale of Cake", new limited edition, last night. I enjoyed it. It is suppose to share the flavors of a pineapple upside down cake. From the neck pour I did not get the tropical fruit, but boy did I get the rest of the cake! Really fun.
Big Glenmorangie 10 fan, I need to drink it more often.
still waiting for that to show up here.
This basic scotch was my second favorite out of the Glenmorangie 4 bottle sampler pack. I do like the Quinta Ruban port finished more. Around here the 10 year is $35 and the QR 14 is $55. CHEERS!!
very nice, the QR is a good one too!
This series rocks! Glenmorangie 10 is my favorite of the three "Glens" (Glenfiddich 12/Glenlivet 12/Glenmorangie 10). All three are solid, but the Glenmo feels the most musty barley authentic to me. Keep up the great work! Cheers!
very nice Robert, thanks!
Recommend 2 or 3 scotches for a newbie to scotch. Drink a little bourbon. Thinking glenmorangie, highland park 12, balvenie doublewood... what's your thoughts?
those are good one, add Macallan 12 and Glenfiddich 12.
Is there a standard recommendation for the small transfer bottles?
they come in all sizes. The one Bart had was a 4 ounce sample bottle.
@@ScotchTestDummies Ahh, a sample bottle. I thought perhaps you guys purchased those from somewhere.
Thanks!
Amazing after I switched from a bourbon drinker over to a scotch drinker this was about the 8th or 9th scotch I've tried and wasn't as impressed as I was with say Highland Park 12 or Ardbeg 10 which are much different scotch's but more in my flavor profile.
both definitely have more "palate" thanks Mike
The thing is... It really doesn't matter how high or low you score things compared to others. I judge your scores based on your other scores, so it all evens out. Thanks fellas!
Came here to say a similar thing, gave you a thumbs up for beating me to the punch :D
thanks Brian!
and thanks Gary!
Okay...so Scott, will you bring back the Knob Creek Smoked maple ??? HA. That was one of my favorite episodes since you poured it out on camera.
sorry Andrew, not coming back!
@@ScotchTestDummies That comes to no surprise. I wonder, have their been any other whisk(e)y out there that you felt compelled to do the same as the KC Smoked Mape?
So I've compared a lot of these easier to get, budgetish types of single malts, and so far it's my favorite. I go Glenmorangie 10 1st, GlenGrant 12 2nd, and maybe a tie between Glenlivet 12, and Glenfiddich 12 depending on if I'm in the mood for a sweeter (Glenfiddich) or not sweet (Glenlivet) dram. I don't know if the ABV is influencing the taste choice, as the 2 40%ers are last place? Bart is so good at being different, he should teach a class.🤘
haha, good points Michael. and pleases don't encourage Bart's behavior!
Back to the basics or beginners stuff is an insult to this amazing whiskey! After you finish drinking, keep the empty glass handy and keep on sniffing! Never ending intoxicating aromas even in an empty glass. You don't need to spend $300 and call it an expert stuff.
great comment and agreed Becker!
Scoring is subjective and not worth arguing. It's all based on one's tastes. The best thing about y'alls Scoring is finding out what a human and wookie think. #bartisawookie
exactly! thanks Crump!
Glenmorangie 10 is a very solid bottle at a very good price, although Glengoyne 10 is more to my taste in this general category, but it's not as available. Cheers!
the goyne 10 is one we haven't reviewed yet
@@ScotchTestDummies Give it a try, it's a keeper!
sHe made tHat from sCratch! Sippin' on some Wolfburn cask strength after ten or so other drams... Almost time for bed.
niCe quiG! slEEp weLl and dReaM Of lArge woMen.
It a pass for me. It's not terrible but I didn't find it enjoyable. The only one of their core four that I thought was above decent is the Quinta Ruban 12. I didn't like the Lasanta and thought the Nectar d'Or was complete garbage at it's price point.
Those other bottles are very nice.
Love this series! Why do you do scores at all? I just want to know who you would recommend it to (ex beginners looking for a quintessential speyside)
thanks Tim!
A little child psychology: I wish Bart would scream TEST ITTTTTT, longer and harder. I wish Bart would wear more outlandish Manga Shirts. I wish Bart would wear more Truman Capote's pen pal Hats.
thats exactly the way to deal with it! Scott
I'll take a 10 yo @ 43% over any older malt @ 40%.
you need to try that Royal Brackla 16 at 40%!
