Great picks John. Where is that last subscriber? 🤔Come on people!

[@thewhiskyenthusiast]

Great list and brilliant video John! Thank you for your kind and supportive words, it means a lot coming from you 🥃 This is a hard one and you nailed it on the head with thinking about availability, price, production etc. I like the idea of runner ups as well so if you don't mind, I'll be a bit 'creatively inspired' by you 😃 I accept your challenge, see you out there 🥃

[@justwhisky]

Looking forward to your take. You are one of the better channels in Whisky Tube. Wishing you much success.
Cheers 🥃

[@murgh]

[@chimknee]

Thanks for these choices.

[@Rohit_M]

That's a one heck of a list of great whiskies John. Some are real gems. Well done!

[@justwhisky]

Thanks so much! It was fun.
Cheers 🥃

[@stefymarty]

Agree 💯 on the Craig 13.

[@sowlegwhiskyreview5501]

This is actually a very fun idea for a list composition👍🙂

[@justwhisky]

Yes it’s making the rounds…I guess it started on Reddit years ago.
Cheers 🥃

[@sowlegwhiskyreview5501]

@@justwhisky Yeah, I have seen the title lots of times but somehow always written to off as to gimmicky. This is the first one I have watch. A lot less gimmicky than expected😉

[@justwhisky]

@@sowlegwhiskyreview5501 thank I did put some thought into it.

[@steveno7058]

Arran 14! What a surprise. I have only one backup bottle left. Such a great Scotch that didn’t get respect till it got discontinued

[@justwhisky]

Agree… great distillery great juice.
Cheers 🥃

[@simongilbert2704]

that is a great selection ;;

[@justwhisky]

Thanks Simon!
Cheers 🥃

[@tooslow1614]

Thank you

[@vangstr]

Wowza❤I wouldn’t have guessed Arran 14 as the special occasion drink. I’ve had both old 14 and 21 from Arran, although I do prefer the 21 the 14 did come close and does not disappoint.

[@justwhisky]

I have a first edition A21 in the bunker…. And I do have couple backups of the A14… when it’s gone it’s gone.
Cheers 🥃

[@vangstr]

@@justwhisky I am sad I only have 1/4 bottle left of the original Arran 21. I wish I could compare it to the newer Arran 21 and find any differences?

[@justwhisky]

@@vangstr I haven’t seen any Arran since their rebranding.

[@jeffmill999]

Love your list..
2 were my picks...
You have your amazing collection and I have some unicorns myself..
Craiggie 13...I noticed it has been my go to since I have so many empty cannisters...
I give local gals 101 and coke...$24us/liter important from their mother company in Italy....no tariff...great price..
The problem with the 5 game is I had 5 single malts in my flight last night...comparing...moving from 12-13-15....
Great variation in list and runners up..

[@justwhisky]

Thanks Jeff! Means a lot. It was a fun challenge.
Cheers 🥃

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Fantastic list. You kept pulling out your something special runner ups and I was thinking how can you beat that and you did each time. Thanks for sharing your list.

[@justwhisky]

Thanks Peter!!
I had a blast 💥
Appreciate you inviting me to the ultimate challenge.
Cheers 🥃

[@TheTimCast]

Have you ever been to Grey Sail brewing? I take a trip there every year on my way to the beach.

[@justwhisky]

Funny I’m going there today. They made a Captain’s Daughter spirit.
They also have a new Eggnog IPA.
I also went there 12 years ago when they first opened.

[@DarkSalmonz]

ayy, very nice picks!

[@justwhisky]

Thanks 🙏

[@TheReal_DeanD]

super interesting list. I can actually get some of these bottles at retail. I also took for granted Arran expressions. The 14 year and 18 year were at a few stores around me and now they're all gone.

[@justwhisky]

Call something paradise and kiss it goodbye.
Cheers 🥃

[@marcho6265]

Here ir Latvia Wild turkey 101 is to impress your guests or for special moments😄 If you must have only one this is it!🤣

[@justwhisky]

For the money you can’t go wrong with WT 101.
Cheers 🥃

[@aaroncampbell113]

I'm looking these up from my local distributor as I watch, and sadly can only find a couple of them. I was having a sneaky Talisker 10yo last night which is great under $100NZD. The Ledaig 18yo isn't there, but the 10yo is, for $87NZD! That seems like great value, I think I'll have to put a bottle in for Xmas. Cheers.

[@justwhisky]

Greetings Aaron, you can’t go wrong with Talisker 10, Ledaig 10, Craigellachie 13.
Cheers 🥃

[@JazznRealHipHop]

I keep eyeballing a Longmorn 16 at a secret honey hole I know about, but $150 price tag has held me off for now hoping to find it cheaper or by some miracle find the older bottling knock on wood. Nice list

[@justwhisky]

International Wine shop in Connecticut has it for $98 and they ship. $150 is a bit steep but so is most things these days.
