In this review I share my thoughts on another 15 empties before casting them off to recycling while struggling to pull out dry corks and saying "fantastic" far too many times. This year I think I'll ask Santa for some core strength and a vocabulary.
This video is intended for viewers over the age of 18 (or the legal age of alcohol consumption in your region).

As always, I reserve the right to change my mind about any of these whiskies, tomorrow. So should you.

It's always a bright day when a recycled review pops up in the subscription feed
Amen.
Is it sad that I get really excited to see it pop up on my phone!
A bright day it is indeed.
I love nothing more than going back through old recycled review videos. This video, number 6, is the one that hit my wallet the hardest :D
Everytime I watch Roy talk about a whisky he’s really enjoyed, I’m sold. He can really express his enthusiasm and inform at the same time.
This format should be trademarked, celebrated and done as often as a healthy liver will allow! Well done. This is worthy of patreon support alone.
Purring like whisky filled kittens! Great descriptor Roy.
Oh. And this video makes me purr like a whisky filled kitten!
Your empty bottle review is your USP and always a great watch. Just wish there was more of them!
My favorite whisky review on UA-cam- Recycled Review is 🔥
These are by far the best whisky videos on UA-cam.
‘Would I buy this again?’
That’s the real question when it comes to whisky. Bravo!
Indeed these recycled videos are just Fantastic. Always right to the point Roy and so far never lead us astray!!Thanks
I love the Deanston Virgin Oak. A good dram at a great price point. I foolishly made the mistake of letting all of my whisky club members know about it, and they emptied the shelves at the local stores. Keep the reviews coming, Roy!
Roy, thanks so much for dedicating the video to me. Dunno how I deserved that, but thank you! Looking forward to sharing more drams with you soon. Cheers, my friend.
Always brings a smile .
Great review as always Roy. I've an Indy of Dailuaine open at the moment. Signatory, 46% at 20 years old. Beautifully chewy and rich.
Oh, mistake 6 minutes in chap. We forgive you.
Aye, I am drinking the same at the moment, and I am enjoying it ... every sip .. .every dram... one of the best for me!
I always enjoy these. And yeah Deanston is 46.3 not 43.6 :) Just got a bottle of it last week but haven't really gotten into it yet. First impressions are positive though.
Love these videos Roy. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work
Yes, review 6! And my goodness, the extra work you put for the fellow whisky geeks is admirable. Thank you. I keep meaning to try the Glenfarclas 21 but I can still get Old pulteney 21 for 10 dollars more.
10 dollars? Glenfarclas 21 YO is 70 euro and Old Pulteney 21 YO is 300 euro ( if you can still find it). Where is this store? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love these recycled reviews my friend, please do continue them.
With the recent Glendronach decision, the "get it while you can" seems prophetic...
I love this series! Much easier than sitting through a 20-30 minute review of each individual whisky. Great stuff Roy
"Purring like whiskey filled kittens" great line....great video
I tend to agree with your reviews and your opinions, and usually it's because of your opinion, that I try a whisky. But, I have a special place in my heart for Talisker (especially the 10) as it was the 10, which started my whisky journey. This is possibly going to sound a little odd, but it was the first whisky I tasted, where I could tell it wasn't just alcohol sharpness running down my throat, and after this, it made every other whisky I've tasted, so much more enjoyable. The laphroig 10 (first peated whisky I ever tasted) taught me that, peat is a fantastic thing at times, but the Talisker started it all. Other than that, I agree, it is the hardest to connect with. My favorite Talisker at this point, being either the Storm or the Skye expressions. I love your reviews, and I look forward to the next.
Hi Rob....delighted to see you enjoyed the Arran 14, and the Deanston. Ive collected many Deanston and Arran bottlings. They are fantastic and always worth replacing. My 14 ended a day ago and Ive already replaced it. Encourage NO E150. 👍🥃...by the way, the Glendronach 18 is a magnificent sherry bomb. Good call.
Another great video Roy, couldn't agree more with your Kilkerran comments specifically! Well done!
I'd never even considered the Arran before watching this...it'll have to be my next purchase now. Love these reviews- opinions I feel I can trust.
Excellent as always Roy! Some great bottles in there!
Hey, Roy, I agree with the idea of letting the air mix with the whiskey over a period of time. Each following dram has a unique taste. Only had one bottle ever get funky. That was a bottle of 10 year Eagle Rare that at a quarter left turned sour. I just treated it as the older brother who just got testy as he aged. Eventually finished it.
This video makes me purr like a whisky-filled kitten... thanks for the reviews, Roy! I just got a few samples of a independently bottled stuff, including a 17 year old Dailuaine from Signatory. Excited to try it out since I’ve heard such good things about Dailuaine (and I think John Glaser uses it a lot for Compass Box in various ways). Skål from Minnesota!
Thanks again for recommending Kilkerran 12. I purchased it yesterday. It’s super delicious. Reminds me a bit of Oban Little Bay. Cheers.
Thanks for the links and the spreadsheet Roy! And my bottles of Kilkerran 12 always go down faster than I want to...
Talisker 10
Tried on new years eve my partner has fallen in love with this whisky, I love it as well, but we are new to drinking whisky, she got an arran gold for Xmas which is also one of the best cream whiskys we have had
Keep bring this up Roy! Really enjoy your recycle videos! Went out try to buy most bottles you gave good marks! Can’t agree more after i tried them. Thanks!
Love this format and am sipping a Deanston 12 while watching. Once I got past the neck I am really enjoying with a wee drop of water. Very nice indeed. Was beginning to think I was growing toward peated whiskys over sherryed but am changing to enjoy them all for their qualities to suit your mood and D12 is right in the middle of my experience so far. Thanks for bringing it to our attention and hence on my shelf👍🇳🇿
Wow Roy!!! Not only a great review but the spreadsheet and links to the other whiskytubers reviews is awesomely useful. Thanks so much for the incredible amount of extra effort you put in! Superb!
Love these recycled videos! Thanks Roy and cheers brother
Finally getting around to finish this. Nice selection of bottles Roy. Well done as always. Cheers.
Thanks Roy, these recycle vids are excellent all of them. Also I agree with almost every thought you have about the bottles except maybe bunna 12, i would give it 9/10 :)
..and Talisker has never convinced me either, though Ive never tryed the older stuff.
Great reviews Roy!!!
I love your honesty about the Talisker 10. I love the briny, sweet smoky whisky.
Isn’t that that great thing about the whisky journey? Everyone has slightly different paths.
Slainte my friend.
This video makes me purr like a whisky-filled kitten. Just to echo many other comments, this is some of the best content on UA-cam. I was wondering about when the next Blind Challenge will be ready. IIRC, it is one of the Scotch4Dummies guys.
These recycled reviews are my favorite videos you do, Roy. Thank you for sharing. 🙏🏼😊
Great stuff Roy!
Can’t believe I’ve still not had anything from either Deanston or Arran!
Fully agree with you on the Bunna 12. The newer bottles taste younger than the previous ones...
Argh...since finding your channel a wee bit ago - I've "had to" buy Clynelish 14 and Kilkerran....and now I've just picked up the Aberlour Abundah....and if I can find a Glendronach 18......... Enjoy these recycling episodes greatly...keep 'em coming.
Awesome stuff Roy! Your recycled reviews are pretty much my favorite youtube whisky videos and are a great source of inspiration when deciding what to try next. Keep ‘em coming!
Such a great whisky video as always Roy!!!! I actually found the Glendronach 18 yesterday. I will have to pick up a bottle soon!
Love me some recycled reviews. One thing I take from these videos is that there are just so many great whiskies out there, and I haven't tried more than a handful yet. Guess i need to expand my modest whisky selection soon! Good video as usual, cheers to you Roy.
This video makes me purr like a whisky-filled kitten, great work as ever Roy - you’re the best, me-ow. Cheers, Ed
Wow, all those details on all those whisky reviews in the comments below, great job!
You are THE whisky superstar!
And 5k subs coming up in a few minutes, time to party!!!
As we all get older, we tend to get softer... 🤔It is not exclusive to whisky! 😂 Seriously though, I enjoy most of the transitions through the bottle as well as the flavor profiles, so I also have many whiskies open for a couple of years, and have not had many spoil either. It sounds like a marketing ploy to me. "Drink your whisky faster before it spoils!.... Oh you are out of whisky.... Buy more whisky!" Either way, these are my favorite series of videos ever, and any day this pops up is a good day! Cheers! 🥃
Thank you for another great video Roy! Your recycle videos are always my best buying guide when I want to try something new! Cheers!
Kilkerran 12 is one of those (IMO) that develops great over time. Especially when you leave it for 1-2 months after opening to let it breathe. It's really decent one with many layers of complexity for a 12 yo.
Agreed, its a cracking dram. That salt buttery note in it really gives it a nice kick for such a light whisky.
Love these recycled reviews so much. Keep up the good work. Sláinte from SC, USA.
Loving your channel Roy and these recycled reviews are a big reason why. Very unique and informative! Keep up the great work...it’s much appreciated here in NJ, USA. PS...what a tease at the start with the Tobermory. You had me at “earthy, oily and dank”. Then you say it’s discontinued. 😟. Ah well.
These are my favorite reviews out of all the channels I watch keep up the great work
Great work! Thank you so much.
This was such a joy to watch!
This is a great format, all caught up now and after more! It's excellent. Another few added to the wishlist. Keep up the exceptional work.
Your recycled reviews are probably my favourite review videos on youtube.
Great as usual and I just ordered Glendronach 18 as soon as I finished watching :)
Didn't know that the A'bunadh had jumped that much, sheesh! Think my vintners may still do it for £50-odd so I better hop on there before they notice!
The Carn Mor stuff is pretty decent, have tried their Islay which was fine, but got a 6 year old Glencadam with them that packed even more of a punch than the normal stuff. Great value.
Great stuff ROY. Love these recycle reviews!!
Recycled Reviews are a gem! Love this! Been waiting for the new one! Fantastic job Roy!
Incredible reviews. Thank you.
I’ve watched a lot of your video and have enjoyed them greatly but I’ve never commented but I felt the need to now because I feel the same exact way about the Talisker 10. You literally took the words out of my mouth. I bought it because of the great things I hear and it is a great expression but find myself going back to it to try and find that something special but it hasn’t come yet. Keep up the great work. Videos are great, the editing, the music, and the way you talk about it with passion. Very enjoyable. Slàinte 🥃
Good to have you watching, don’t write off Talisker based in the 10!
Aqvavitae I definitely won’t. I’m being patient with it
I just love these reviews, I get so much out of them and they do help my whisky purchasing decisions. I have been so disappointed with my Aberlour 16 purchase and seeing the 40% abv has really frightened me away from this distillery. I have had the A'bundh once and was not impressed enough to pay for the expensive NAS. Sorry I will miss this Thursday but headed to a concert. Keep them coming you are doing a great job!
Finally number 6, don’t get me wrong I don’t want you to go through bottles top fast but I wish the recycled reviews could come a bit faster as I enjoy this format of review very much.
attanangerel enkhtur: I know what you mean. I don't want the poor guy to poison his liver, but I'm always eager to watch the next 'recycled' video. There's something very honest about the format. All of us whisky fans would love to just always have everything. But when you run out of something, you have to make that ever-important decision about whether or not it's worth replacing.
Strong work, Roy: another great breakdown, and the spreadsheet/resource links go above and beyond. Keep spreading the good word.
I love these! The 2 hour long blogs I cant make it through.
Got so excited when I saw this in my feed. My favorite series. Cheers
Oily, earthy, dank warehouse... I had a few with those notes and thought the whisky was a little off - glad to know it happens!
Another great recycling Roy! Always love the feedback on your bottles! Also I really like the new spreadsheets! Great idea and a helpful tool. Thank you again my friend! Slàinte!
I wish I would have known about this channel and others years ago. I have started late in the Whisk(e)y game, I am only about 8 months in my journey. Thanks for the awesome content!
Just found the G&M Balblair 21 online, getting delivered tomorrow will be hard not to open this right away ! Have had the Balblair 99 (17yr) which is amazing and this was the same price so very happy. Also form a different online shop found Deanston 18 for $60 which is ridiculously low so got two of those ! Life is good
Great video as always. This may be my favourite review concept, if I were you I would consider coming up with more series like this one, maybe review them once they are half full or impressions after first or second drams.
Great video & insight as always! Nice selection of empties too. You’re fast becoming my fav youtuber sir!
Thanks Roy! Love the review and the spreadsheet! Can't wait to see your rating on the Balcones.
Great stuff Roy 🥃👍
I’m coming back to Scotland 🏴 and I’m going to camp out in your recycle bin! 🥴 ⛺️
Another great video.... I always wonder.... what does the recycling man think when he empties your recycling bin after you record these videos?.... WOW! Must have been a great party!
Good question, Erik ! see you tonight maybe...on his live
Love these! One of my best bottles (I have currently) is my Tobermory 22 year. After having a few other mid-aged/older Tobermorys, I'm convinced it's one that ages VERY well. :)
Here, I thought we had the same taste buds! ...then, Talisker! My heart is broken. lol
I love these videos. What a great idea. Keep em coming.
Thank you for your Scorelist! Very helpful!
Another great video. Thank you! And thanks for the spreadsheet, it's going to be very useful.
Great vid, Roy. It's nice to get your thoughts on the Aberlour A'Bunadh and the Glendronach Allardice. I currently have a bottle of batch 60 of the A'Bunadh that I'm really enjoying. These are two of my absolute favorites.
I love these Recycled videos. I appreciate the reviews and opinions. It's also amazing how palates and experiences differ. Personally, I will always be biased toward Talisker 10. It was the first single-malt whisky that ever opened my eyes to what whiskey can be. I can't not love it. It always pleasantly reminds me of where my journey started. But I get it. Some whiskies just don't do it for you. I love peat and many Islays. But I just can't seem to make myself like most Laphroaig products very much. I don't know why.
Your show edits are excellent (choice of tracks esp.)
The Allardice is probably the best deal in single malt scotch right now. Great video as always Roy!
Nice review again. Although I like these Recycled Review I’m glad they don’t come weekly.. that would cost me a lot of money..😉. I’m an Arran fan actually. Great value for money, nice expressions, the CS versions of the 12yrs are great as well.
Unique concept. Been waiting for #6 :-)
Got to agree about the independent bottlings - I keep finding the depth of character that comes with the small batches and single casks in particular is hard to beat. Once I find a distillery which chimes with me I'm drawn towards looking for something special/one-off.
A local retailer had the Allardice on offer for £65 a bottle - sold out within an hour as you can imagine! Unfortunately I missed out...
Hah! The cork stopper of my Bunnahabhain 12 just broke last week and had to be replaced! The botting is from 2013 though. :-)
Second you on inconsistency, H2H my 2016 version seems a tad younger and less sherried. To be fair, there are many inconsistencies out there, especially with first batch vs later batches bottlings, e.g. Lagavulin 8, Kilkerran 12.
Really enjoy but to be able to have your spreadsheet on the phone while at the store? Brings up the value of this channel and you many notches! Thank you!
Jim Judge Thanks Jim 👍 😊
I love these recycling reviews...including the music!
Great to have this back, lovin' it.
Very good approach to score malts. Its the second video I saw from you and I had to subscribe!
And btw: 567 likes and no dislikes! Amazing.
Correction 568 likes 😁
Roy thank you. Great review.
I'll have to give Arran another try. I've only had a bottle of 10y and found it to citrusy to my liking. Great storytelling editing in the beginning🙂
Love these Roy!
Good job Roy! I really admire the superb quality of your videos, presentation and opinions! I agree with you on the Deanston Virgin Oak - cracking stuff like you rightly said. Cheers 😊🥃!!
Thanks for this Roy, I really enjoy these reviews.
Agreed.
I love your thoughtful commentary.
I really enjoy this format Roy. I am wrapping up my opinions and choices since I began my journey starting with the s4d's, then std's two years ago. I will not buy 40% ABV offerings, let's face it - they are doing the minimum. Regarding price, most (distiller's are watching their competition - naturally) do not (for the most part) believe in their product, rather they (I maintain) are watching the population. In 2000 the world population was 6.1 billion compared to 2018 which is at 7.7 billion. Hence non age statements. Additionally, I will not buy a non age statement, I will leave that to the rest of the population, if distillers want my $ they better have an age statement on the bottle and discipline. After all, there are only 3.1 cups in a bottle, earn my $, Lagavulin and neighbors have. These are the principles I have set for myself, so this is only my opinion. Thanks
