I stopped buying ALL Diageo whiskies about 10 years ago following their outrageous overpricing on their special releases.
It's not like we don't have options....
And, for me, now anything owned by Pernod Ricard as they’re still in the Russian market (whereas Diageo pulled out very quickly after Feb 22). So, that’s Aberlour, Glenlivet, Red Breast, Middleton, Spot whiskies plus a whole host of others…
@@MathewJohnson-jr8ti i don't give a shit about the Russian market. They have every right to be there.
Seems to me a sentiment that is in opposition to the sentiments expressed by Ralfy with regards to the whisky community that he supports. @@MathewJohnson-jr8ti
My wife picked this out for me and I opened it this morning. She knows me well! Merry Christmas, Ralfy!
Bought this 3 weeks ago as a gift for my brother in law; now since this made it to your best whisky of the year list, I'm very happy with my purchase. :)
I still like Johnny Walker green because it's still tastes good to me. I love Port Charlotte here in US. Try using rain water to lower the ABV
This is it, I've promised myself last year that this year, I'll publicly try to gess your whisky of the year before I see it in the video or in the comment section. I think it's Glen Scotia Victoriana! Happy Christmas to all the viewers, I hope that next year will bring more joy and meaning to you and your family!
Yes! Yes! Yes! what a grand tipple. I just bought my 4th bottle this year. Although I am saving up for a18 yr old Ledaig, peated Sherry caste. On good malt Whisky, Ralfy we are of one mind. Happy New Year my darlin. From Aunty Joan xx
A fantastic and reliable Whisky of the year. Happy new year Ralfy.
Have a fabulous 2023 Ralfy 🎉 thank you for your reviews, extras and fitter philosophy. Your content adds to the rich tapestry of weekly highlights. I think it’s a great move to add NAS into the mix. Really looking forward to 2023 with your channels.
Thanks for all your hard work this year Ralfy ! All the best to you and family in 2023 . You are very much appreciated. Greetings from Canada.
Thank you very much Ralfy for what you do every episode. I discovered this channel around 2+ years ago and it was just what I needed to take my whisky enjoyment to the next level. Now my cabinet has Deanston, Arran, Craigelache and other quality spirits in it. No more ice either. A Happy New Year to you sir.
Cheers Ralfy, snagging a bottle of your Whisky of the Year has become an annual tradition.
Cheers to you and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Thank you for all the fantastic revises of 2022! My best wishes for you and family for 2023!
Thank Ralph for what you do .Merry Belated Christmas ⛄
Merry Christmas Ralfy and a Happy New Year. I appreciate your whisky wisdom. Love the channel.
So glad this is your whisky on the year! I have 3 bottles myself, all from different batches. Slightly different, all incredible. Merry Christmas Ralfy!
Cheers Ralfy and all malt mates everywhere. A good dram is truly something to be thankful for.
Thank you and happy New Year, Ralf! As usual, always keep on inspiring us with the conversation.
Beautiful. Thank you for a great conversation and a fantastic reveal!
Dear Ralfy, all the best and a good start into 2023!
Love your channel and work.
Hi Ralfy, it's always a pleasure to listen to your videos and often you are speaking out of my heart in relation of going for quality instead of quantity and the statement on the label. I wish you all the best for the new year and looking forward to see your further videos - stay safety
Happy New Year to you, Ralfy! You have picked a cracker for your whisky of 2023. I've enjoyed it and do agree it has a good quality to cost ratio. Thanks for all you do for our community.
wish you a great year 2023 Ralfy
and many thanks for some really nice malt moments with your channel.
New to the channel, grateful for the whisky wisdom! Happy new year and thank you for the great content
Talisker 18 is nice but certainly not £170+ nice. On a positive note, An incredible year of reviews, Ralfy! Here’s to an even better 2023! Thanks for all of your awesome content and insights - every video is a pleasure to watch!
Thank you very much Ralfy, eloquent and insightful as ever. PC10 is quite a lot of fun as well - I look forward to your review in the New Year. Warm wishes for continued success in 2023!!
Nice to know that you awarded this fine dram with the 2023 title. I have been enjoying this dram for some time. A powerhouse of flavour that validates my choice every time.😊
Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to you Ralfy. An excellent choice for WOTY 2023! Here's to next year being a very difficult choice (hopefully!) due to the quality of available malts that we see throughout 2023. Lets hope its a prosperous and happy year for all Malt Mates out there.
Thank you Ralphy for educating me on malt whisky. You've been a top-class educator for so many of your fellow malt mates.
I bought my first bottle of PC10 only a few months ago. It really is a marvellous whisky and thoroughly deserving the accolade of, "Ralph's whisky of the year."
Thanks Ralfy, excellent choice for 2023.
A great show as always - you are one of those who inspired me to start out my own whisky chanell and although I'm still stumbling about, trying to find my own unique voice I do use you and a few others as a guide. Great that you are looking at the financial cost of our hobby and how to spend wisely for a great whisky. Happy new year
Bought and finished the Port Charlotte 10yo Heavily Peated this year and it was definitely one of my best ever whiskies.
The best 24 minutes of my day…thoroughly enjoyed watching your videos throughout the year and in particular, this one😊
Merry Christmas Ralfy and a Happy New Year. A very good choice, your whisky of the year 2023. It is my favorit for years today. Love it.
Yup ... I have been pushing this for the past 2 years. I love it. Glad to see it make ur top spot well deserved
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you Ralfy, and congratulations on another successful year in 2022. I look forward to more reviews in 2023, love your insightful view points and recommendations.
It’s such a great whisky, the port charlet! Great choice and I bought some bottles shortly after your informative review. I am happy to have found you and your channel. Take care and have a good 2023
When you speak, I listen. Love your work Ralfy and happy new year to you
Thanks ralfy for another great year looking forward to 2023 and the start of my peated whisky experiences I think I'm ready after many non peated drams over many a Happy evening 😀
Cheers for all your hard work this year Ralfy. here's to Joy, good health and peace on earth in 2023....and maybe a tasty dram now and again.
Happy New Year, Dear Ralfy and many interesting malts for discussions to come.
Thanks again Ralfy! I am super pleased with your whisky of the year 2023, it has been in my top 5 for the last year and a half ever since I tasted it the first time.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Thank you for the awesome videos, without bling bling lights, colorful bottle backgrounds and full of Adjectives that make no sense to describe the taste of a bottle just to look sophisticated. There is a fine line between being knowledgeable and trying to look knowledgable and this is where you shine the most! You cost me a lot of $$$ but the end result is well worth it.
Dear Ralfy, thank you for your guidance. Your honesty and enthusiasm makes last years better. And absolutely perfect choice for your whisky of the year 2023, from my personal point of view - with my family and friends we finished 20+ bottles of Port Charlotte and everybody love it. Happy and Healthy New Year to you and all good people and especially to good people with good whisky in their glasses.
Merry Christmas and a Malty New Year, Ralfy. I went out and bought a Ledaig 10 & a PC 10 from your review and recommendation. You've never seen me wrong so far and your reviews are always loved by the family. Here's to the big 1,000!
What a fantastic and informative video Ralfy. Really enjoyed the insightful content. Great job and looking forward to tuning in, in 2023.
Yes! It's my favorite Scotch! Happy New Year Ralfy!
Merry Christmas Ralfy!
I find these videos so helpful! My whiskey journey has been quite clumsy, until now. I've been taken in by big names and age statements but i now realise there are better, lesser known whiskys. Ralfy's channel is really educative and i like that he's not pretentious or patronising. Great work Ralfy!
Purely by coincidence I got this as a Christmas gift so now I'm double delighted.
Have a great new year ralfy! Hope you had a great Christmas! Keep the videos coming my friend and whisky guru! John x
Excellent to see my beloved PC 10 take the honors! I loved it from the first sip, and today it is a permashelf for me.
A few months ago I did the comparison of a recent bottling of JW Green with 3 other blended malts (Compass Box Peat Monster, Spice Tree, Oak Cross) and being the only one with an age statement the JW was laterally slammed, there was no point of comparison whatsoever!..!!.
Congrats on your third book!!!... may there be more to come!
Happy New Year and best wishes for 2023, Greetings from Paraguay, Cheers!!!!
🎅🥃🎉🙌
A belated thank you Ralfy . I’ve no idea how I missed this
Insightful and educational as always.
Keep up the great work.
Slàinte Mhath 🥃
Thank you, Ralfy. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's
I bought the PC10 thanks to people mentioning it during the oswa's. I was really impressed, and I keep reaching for it. I wished for a back up for christmas and I got it.
Happy Christmas Ralfy and a very Happy New Year, thanks for all the very honest reviews, have brought quite a few of the whisky you have recommended and have never been disappointed.
Thank you! I'm so glad you called out Johnnie Walker Green 15. There are so many out there that say it's great or is the best JW but ever since they relaunched it, it's been a shell of it's former self. I've tried telling people but no one believed me. Now I'm hoping they'll reevaluate that bottle with a keener eye.
Happy holidays Ralfy. My wife and I appreciate the work you do sifting out the quality whiskeys.
Lately we have been enjoying the hunt for older bottlings in the US that have been overlooked so that we can compare quality. These days we drink less and enjoy/appreciate more. Cheers!
What a excellent choice Ralfy. Just sampled my first dram of Port Charlotte. Wow what a fantastic malt experience.
Happy new year from Perth Western Australia. OMG I just tried this last week and was blown away, great value. All the best.
Thank you for your helpful reviews , Happy new year.
What a coincidence! Just bought another Port Charlotte 10 yesterday, haha! Really amazing stuff, and not too expensive either, even here in Norway. Happy new year Ralfy, and thanks for putting out entertaining, informative and highly enjoyable videos week after week!
I have bought and appreciated all your books. An interesting take on whisky and life. Keep them coming!
Exceptional video I received the Port Charlotte Islay Barley from my wife for Christmas. I also purchased your book but I am waiting a bit to read it since I recently lost my father. Once I have done some healing I look forward to reading it. Your first 2 were excellent I am afraid you have set the bar pretty high for yourself. Have a great new year!! Cheers
One of my favorites! Happy New Year Ralfy! 🎉
Love the atmosphere... thanks..🌲.
Ralfy, always speaking from the heart and that to me is the bottom line. God bless and Happy New Year!!
Thank you for great reviews. Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.
Merry Christmas to you and to everyone in the comments. This channel is a joy.
Thoroughly enjoyed a dram of PC10 last night on Christmas night and now not surprised it is your whisky of the year. Peaty, complex, fresh and high quality. The small amount of aging in ex wine barrels does wonders for this
Merry Christmas Ralfy and Malt Mates. Have a great 2023
I knew it, I knew it Ralfy. I bought my 5th Port Charlotte 10yrs bottle here in Ha Noi, Vietnam during Christmas vacation. I can't simply get enough of this. Merry Christmas 🎄 and Happy Holidays 🎉
Thank you my friend for contributing to the whisky community. You are like the Warren Buffett of of whisky! ❤
Thank you for another year of high quality videos and reviews. Good luck with your new book, can't wait to read it. I would love to see a video of your current favorite cigars and pipe tobaccos along with some of your favorite pairings with whiskey (although to be honest I prefer pairing with brandy). Good luck in the new year.
Happy New year Ralfy,cheers.
Thanks a bunch for what you do for us whiskey nerds Ralfy, wishing you a very happy and healthy 2023!
Happy New Year Ralfy!
Great Whisky of the year Ralfy, been enjoying it all year!
Happy new year!
Excellent, thank you.
bravo...many valid points made..."lets keep it chilled," so to speak, up in here
Good choice Ralfy. I’ve recently became a big fan of Port Charlotte 10. I really enjoy your reviews and the useful info you share.
Great choice for whisky of the year! I really enjoy PC10 as well as Ledaig 10, such a good whiskys. Thank you for the knowledge you share and the great videos Ralfy! Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
Great choice Ralfy! Fantastic whisky. Cheers!
Great choice for 2023’s scotch whisky of the year Ralfy. Solid choice, tastes great, integrity presentation and you’re right about the price point. The quality to price ratio is reasonably priced at least where I live. Have a safe and prosperous new year and I look forward to the reviews in the upcoming year. 🥃👍
Cheers and happy new year🎉😹
A Happy New Year to you sir.
@ralphy got a hold of this and I am absolutely enamoured with it. Thanks for the suggestion.
Awesome dram Ralfy, it's hard not to like the PC10. Congratulations on the third book. Loved the first two, although I dropped Stories from a Whisky Bar in the pool whilst reading it on a lilo I still finished it through crumpled dried pages 😃 Looking forward to the new one. Cheers and happy new year 🥃
First time I guessed it right! Happy new year, Ralfy!
Excellent content again Ralfy. Totally agreed with your 2023 choice a lovely dram and an integrity single malt. I bought a bottle mid 2022 & was impressed so I duly bought another for the stash. Very reasonable price for a quality single malt & I do love the Islay peated style but do mix it with the Highland & Speyside single malts to balance out the whisky journey. Cheers and a Happy New 2023 🎉
One of my favourites 👍
Happy New Year 🥃
God Jul och gott nytt år from Sweden , love your inputs about Whiskey.
Port Charlotte 😃👍🏻
