My how far the reviews come since this. And yet, as fantastic as your newer reviews are (I never miss one) I always come back to the early reviews every so often. Long live the Ralfy reviews! Truly a high spot in my week. And that's the truth!
Nice review! my father was the founder of Glen Breton (Bruce Jardine). I remember unloading the casks off of the trucks when it was first starting. Thanks for the review!
Wow just came across your channel good sir, and I must say for 13 years between videos I would count myself incredibly lucky to age that well anyway thanks for the information and keep up the great work
Brilliant! Just starting my whisky journey. Enjoyed a few reviews so went back to the start. Great to have someone share their knowledge and love of a wee dram without all the pretentious bullsh**! Thanks Ralfy
My boyfriend and I stayed at the Glen Breton Distillery near Inverness NS this summer and it was beautiful to say the least. We took the tour and tasted the 10, but I bought a 15 called The Glen Breton Ice and it's even better. Glad you liked it!!
I’ve visited that distillery and drank a few bottles of the 10 years. I thought it was ok but also noticed it was noticeably inconsistent in taste, got one bottle with an extreme green apple taste once and never bothered buying it again. Thanks for reviewing it and calling it best non-scotch single malt.
I live in Toronto and haven’t tried this yet! There is a decent one from St’ John’s, Newfoundland called Signal Hill. Very vanilla forward and quite sweet, but the silky mouthfeel is pleasant. Like a thicker, sweeter, Aberlour 12.
Warm greetings from Belize. Started watching your videos a few months ago and am hooked. The genuine and unpretentious manner in which you present is absolutely refreshing and enjoyable. I've learned quite a bit in the short period and look forward to learning much more along this journey we call life and whisky. If you ever want to run away to the warmth of the Caribbean, come this way and do look me up. Until then, have a Maltastic Day and keep on Maltiplying your videos!!
How things have changed. A 3 minute video and not going too much into nose. Oh, how things have changed, 15-20 minute videos and all about nose taste and "intrinsic quality". Keep up the good work mate! May you have many years of whisky reviewing to come
Ralfy , I am a new subscriber & was curious about your older reviews. Just viewed your ten year old first. Nice job then. It is easy to see why you are now on UA-cam for ten years. Congrats !
Just as I subscribe to your channel, and being from Canada, I wonder if you will review any Canadian whiskies, and then I find this, your first review. Not only that, but I actually have this bottle in my current collection - almost done. Can't wait to see if you've reviewed more Canadian whiskies.
I am from Nova Scotia too, and have yet to try this whisky. I have heard nothing but great things. A lot of people in Nova Scotia aren't keen on doing this out of their routines, so I can see this taking its time in developing a fan base here.
Just found your channel and this is the video I watched first. Not a big fan of the Glen Breton myself as I find it too sharp on the alcohol and too weak on flavour. To be fair, I’ve only had the 10 & 14 y.o.. Being in NS, I visited Glenora once a year for the past 8 years. Yes, even went during our province’s pandemic break. Every time I come away disappointed with the tour but full of respect for their skills.
I've been a watcher for a few years but had not seen this review. I heard this mentioned during your live stream with Roy (Aqvavitae) so I thought I should see the video that started the legendary journey.
Got another one. I just got into Scotch and this guy apparently is the go to guy for reviews. First one he does is a scotch out of Cape Breton, my families home town. Cool.
Hi Ralfy! Thanks to your videos, I'm loving single malts more and more :) I was wondering if you have any plans to create a new video for Glen Breton? Keep up the good work!!
Have you had the opportunity to try Glen Breton's icewine barrel cask-strength offering? As far as I know it's the only icewine finished malt in the world, and I've definitely been intrigued by it (but scared away by the $38 for 250ml price tag).
Hi Ralfy. Love your thoughts about the Spirits. Which leads me to a question: Have you tried "Loch Lomond Single Malt Whisky" the blue one. I am truly sorry that i can not provide any further information on the Whisky itself, but the label does not say anything about its age. Keep it up.
Hi Ralfy - How does one develop their nose? When I smell a whisky, I have trouble picking out the individual notes. I have purchased 8 single malts so far, and don't feel like I'm making much progress on developing a good nose, or pallet for that matter! Any tips?
Bought this at bargain a price. Rough, alcoholic, cloyingly sweetish and bitter tannins.... Glen Breton distillery certainly needs some learning and evolving, because they are still very far from a decent, competitive product.
“This is a number of a series that I’m doing”...
And what a series it’s been so far.
It's hard to believe it's been so long. What a lovely ride it has been so far and how wonderful the road looks ahead of us.
At 00:00 a legend was born

. . . thanks for that I am just sharing the malt-moments !
Ralfy. Would love to see you do a longer re-review of this whisky. Also, try Gooderham and Worts if you can get some.
Nice review! my father was the founder of Glen Breton (Bruce Jardine). I remember unloading the casks off of the trucks when it was first starting. Thanks for the review!
From such modest beginnings great things may grow.
Congratulations on 1000+ reviews, Ralfy!

Hey Ralfy, where is video #1?
ralfy, this early review just popped up so had to watch. Great seeing the early, faster pace and then the evolution to the 2020s. Cheers!
My boyfriend and I stayed at the Glen Breton Distillery near Inverness NS this summer and it was beautiful to say the least. We took the tour and tasted the 10, but I bought a 15 called The Glen Breton Ice and it's even better. Glad you liked it!!
It's odd seeing Ralfy allowed in the upstairs and the light. I only started after he got exiled down to the whiskey basement.
You should revisit this in Feb 15, 2019.
100%!
I was here, 4/26 2020.
i agree a more indepth review would be great

Anyone else here because they just watched Ralfy review 1001. Congratulations Ralfy, cheers.

. . . happy to share the malt-moments !
Some people watch crappy tv on a Sunday afternoon, I prefer to watch Ralfy and expand my knowledge about whisky.
How things have changed. A 3 minute video and not going too much into nose.
Oh, how things have changed, 15-20 minute videos and all about nose taste and "intrinsic quality". Keep up the good work mate! May you have many years of whisky reviewing to come
How bout now?
Don't he look young there !!!!! I am watching this in 2021!!!

Nose: vanilla, creamy barley, soft pines, resinous, cyprus, conifer woods Mouth: citrusy slightly sharp violet, chlorine Mark: 87
Thank you for old the information that you provide, for everyone like me on the world of whisky.
I am from Nova Scotia too, and have yet to try this whisky. I have heard nothing but great things. A lot of people in Nova Scotia aren't keen on doing this out of their routines, so I can see this taking its time in developing a fan base here.
my new favorite channel. This is amazing!
11 years of Ralfy... Thanks you!
You are my sunshine........my only sunshine....you make me happy when skys are grey...................

Normally I would only buy JW Black. I'm now starting to collect different whiskey. Thanks! for the reviews.
Got another one. I just got into Scotch and this guy apparently is the go to guy for reviews. First one he does is a scotch out of Cape Breton, my families home town. Cool.
Hi Ralfy! Thanks to your videos, I'm loving single malts more and more :) I was wondering if you have any plans to create a new video for Glen Breton? Keep up the good work!!
*thumbs up*
Nice to see some Nova Scotians (or Cape Bretoners, whichever you prefer) in to decent whisky.
My favorite canadian whiskey.
I worked just down the road from the distillery its from nice review
I really enjoy fiddlers choice from them. It’s so delicious!
great u tube reviews
Been a subscriber since the year you started (yeah I’m old)...but I never went back and checked this out. Very cool.

Ralfy
Do you ever comments on Kirklands name-brand irish whiskies?
Great prices !
Thanks Ralfy!
Bela inauguração.
Awesome Ralphy I know I can get this . I'm Canadian so it should be easier for me .
I've never heard of this one. Thank you for introducing it... canadan single malt.. wow!
Being the huge country that we are, we should be known for them the world over. At least things are finally happening.
helped me buying scorch
down it goes into my belly where it feels warm
Ralfy started with Canadian Whisky from Nova Scotia. 14 years ago. Wow.
Ralfy must like Bearface, 🥞.
where is review number 1, I wonder?
Have you had the opportunity to try Glen Breton's icewine barrel cask-strength offering? As far as I know it's the only icewine finished malt in the world, and I've definitely been intrigued by it (but scared away by the $38 for 250ml price tag).
After watching your 1000th review
I predict you will go a long way
Ralfy... and Horst Luening, the original UA-cam whisk(e)y Gurus
There's a Glen Breton 15 yo that was just released! Won't be trying it though. it's quite expensive. I guess i'll save up for the 10yo.
Hi Ralfy. Love your thoughts about the Spirits. Which leads me to a question: Have you tried "Loch Lomond Single Malt Whisky" the blue one. I am truly sorry that i can not provide any further information on the Whisky itself, but the label does not say anything about its age. Keep it up.
you should make a remake of this video ralfy
@Rogn80 Another Nova Scotian kicking about Ralfys reviews? Whereabouts in the province?
Hi Ralfy - How does one develop their nose? When I smell a whisky, I have trouble picking out the individual notes. I have purchased 8 single malts so far, and don't feel like I'm making much progress on developing a good nose, or pallet for that matter! Any tips?
Ralfy, is it still the best non scotch single malt you have ever tasted?
Any name brands you Dont like?
Hey Ralfy, is Glen Breton still your favorite non-Scotch malt?
Whisky in the 6 brought me here.
Can you do a re-review of this?
. . . good idea !
But where's review no. 1?
the comment...that this is the best non-Scottish single malt you've ever tasted remain true?
Bought this at bargain a price. Rough, alcoholic, cloyingly sweetish and bitter tannins.... Glen Breton distillery certainly needs some learning and evolving, because they are still very far from a decent, competitive product.
I tried this, but I will never buy one for my collection. Its awful. At least for me anyway.
Just came back to revisit after watching 1001.
