Top 5 Whiskies beginners MUST try

- Welcome, to The Whisky Diary. This week, I'll be going through my Top 5 Whiskies beginners must try!
Now... when I say beginners, I'm not talking those who are completely new to Whisky. This is more aimed at those who have tried a few, know that Whisky is something they want to explore, and are looking to invest in a bottle or 2 for the shelf (for drinking, of course!). I like to try and keep the budgets down below £45, as I feel you can get a really good bottle for that price. There is a myriad of Whiskies out there, and everyone has their own opinion, so thought I would share mine.
Please let me know any of YOUR favourites, or what your first Whisky was?
The thoughts and opinions in this video are my own. I'm not, and will never be, paid to influence my opinion on any whisky or product I review. My palate isn't perfect, and we're all learning everyday... Whisky is a journey, I'm simply trying to bring you along for the ride!
Please leave a comment with your suggestions for what I should review next!
Just like Whisky, knowledge is better shared.
Thanks for watching!

I actually really enjoyed shooting this! These are all Whiskies I really enjoy and am genuinely really passionate about so it's a real treat to be able to talk about them, and share them with you! Let me know down below which your favourite Whiskies are? ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Bunnahbhain 12 year old Arran 10 years old deanston 12year old glenfarclas 15 year old & 105
Glendronach 12 year old compass box spice tree Garioch 12 years old The classic laddie port Charlotte to name
a few I really enjoy
Just bought a black bottle double cask 46.3% abv £22 as there roomers it’s blended with Bunnahbhain 12 🤞
@@spunkybadgerobrien1300 All absolutely fantastic Whiskies. The only ones of those I'm missing from the shelf is the Compass Box and the Glen Garioch. Slainte! 🥃
@@spunkybadgerobrien1300 You just can't knock a price like that can you!!
A great list. 3 of your 5 I regularly get. Not sure if you focus only on scotch, but I’d suggest a Bourbon for the list Wild Turkey 101 or WT Rare Breed.
Love my Arran 10! Love my Bunna 12! Love my GlenAllachie 12! These will always have a guaranteed spot on my shelf.
I am planning a trip to Scotland for next year, I want to spend a few days in Islay mainly but of course want to visit Edinburgh and Glasgow, I just wrote down the list of bars you mentioned, sounds like a good idea for an episode, your channel is awesome by the way!
Solid list, and well-considered for beginners’ tastes and product availability.
Thanks! Exactly what I was going for. Slainte! 🥃
These are all my favourites! Great list! And I have been a whisky lover for over 30 years. Maybe I'm still a beginner😅?
Great list! Glad you included a cask strength whiskey, as that can really show a beginner what else whiskey is capable of.
Thanks man, Exactly! Even last night at the pub, I was on a 55% and guys next to me were like “woah that’s crazy!” but personally, I think that’s where the magic happens! Slainte! 🥃
A nice selection. Cheers
I think so! I really enjoy all of them, and generally get really good responses from the people I share them with so fingers crosed others find it useful! Slainte! 🥃
Great selection buddy. I will always see myself as a beginner to whisky and there are a few on hear I have not had but now on the list. Great to see Caol Ila on there. A brilliant entrance into peat and wonderful whisky. Great watch as always, cheers
Cheers brother! Beginner is super subjective! All I know is these are absolute mainstays for the shelf, and definitely whiskies I think everyone needs to try! I still owe you a couple samples, don’t I? DM me anything you want
Good selection
Thanks man! ❤️
Refreshingly unique selection. Diggin this channel. Keep it up dude, you're gonna get a hell of alot more subs but it takes time. +1 from here.
😯 Thanks Max! I really appreciate that. Have an awesome day,! Slainte 🥃
Glencadam is god tier - such a good analysis 😎
Great review, got all 5 whiskies all very good value.
Bunnahbhain 12 year old & Deanston 12 a must buy as well 👍
Both firm favourites of mine, and mainstays on the shelf (especially the Bunna). Great taste, my friend! Slainte! 🥃🥃
Top video. Also great for beginners: Carhu Gold (bit supermarkety maybe)
Glenmorangie Lasanta
Penderyn Madeira (yes, it’s Welsh)
Tulimore Dew 14
I’m a massive Penderyn fan! Solid choices there. Slainte! 🥃
I would add the Laphroaig 10 to that list. Both the Talisker 10 and the Caol Ila are rather contained as far as smokiness... I think it's worth having a proper smoke bomb and the Laphroaig 10 although very peated is actually quite an easy drinker, with lots of fruit and nutty notes. I love it.
This a really great intro to whisky and would set any potential fan up to know exactly where to head to next
Thanks man! I feel like it’s a good enough mix with a bit of everything, and at least a bit fun with a cask strength in there. Slainte! 🥃
Beginner here. My son-in-law is going to take me to a local tasting bar to try some whiskeys. I'm looking for spirits with no peat/smoke/char. Your review has helped me put two on my list. I had a taste of the Bunnahabhain 12 at Thanksgiving and it was delicious. Out of my price range at the moment though. Here in NM USA it is $70 (with tax). Thanks for this review it has been helpful.
Ahh dude! Thank you so much! Helpful is exactly what I want it to be. Yeah I really have no idea on the US market, I just kind of assume it’s similar to what’s available here, albeit slightly more expensive (which $70 seems to line up with what I expected). Enjoy your tasting! Love to hear what you try! Slainte! 🥃
I love my Bunna 12. Here are a few options I think speak the same language (but only the Bunna will have that salty background): Balvenie 12 Doublewood, GlenAllachie 12 (more on the sweet side but so complex and excellent), GlenDronach 12 (no ex-bourbon but I do think the Bunna 12 is sherry forward).
BTW, the Doublewood is much better in the US being 43% against 40% in the UK.
Do keep in mind the GlenDronach no longer states their whiskies are unchillfiltered. I did try an old bottle against the new one side by side and didn't feel any difference... but there's that. These 3 are my favorites 12yr olds, they all had their time on top and I keep going back and forth... My current winner is the GlenAllachie 12, I even ordered their 15 but not here yet.
I am particularly interested in this 17 bottle Faroe Island whisky you speak off 😉
You wouldn’t like it….
@@Scotchtographer 🤣
Strangely enough I just put together a sample pack (though without your availability and price constraints) to introduce someone to different styles of Scotch:
Glencadam 15 (no peat, no sherry) [I used to use anCnoc 16, before it was discontinued]
Glengoyne 21 (no peat, yes sherry) [ I know: I could have picked something cheaper...]
Oban 14 (middle-of-the-road)
Lagavulin Distillers Edition (yes peat, yes sherry)
Laphroaig 10 (yes peat, no sherry) [I've had 14 people love it and only 2 not!]
Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban (Port cask finish)
As for my own favourites, they can get a bit pricey...
That is a solid taster pack! Definitely every both ends of the spectrum covered there! 🥃
Has Caol Ila 12 has gone down in price? I'm sure it used to be around 50...
Aye!! Currently £38 on Master of Malt!
