Fantastic Erik! I visited Speyburn just last week and I think you might be talking about Sandy, who's worked there for years. It was probably the most geeky tour we had due to the things you've mentioned but also the most relaxed one. Most other distilleries get a bit too hung up on health&safety telling you not to step there, not to touch this or put your phone away. Speyburn was extremely relaxed about us being there and to be standing on top of the wormtubs was one of the highlights of the tour. The 15 and the 18 are beautiful whiskies as well :) Cheers!
Thank you for your honest and excellent review of this particular whiskey Erik! 1 bottle of the Speyburn 18 years i've already emptied and another i have in my cellar!
I gotta find this backing track. Reminds me of Blind Guardian. That and I want o lift some weights now. Thanks for this thorough review and backstory. I can’t get the 18 year by me but i have some stores liking j to it for me.
@@ErikWaitWhiskyStudies the Trump tariff on Single Malt Scotch. The 25% tariff on Single Malt Scotch Whisky was levied between October 2019 and March 2021. Over this 18-month period, the Scotch Whisky industry lost over £600m in exports to the United States - equivalent to over £1m a day
I know, I was joking. They jack up the prices and blame the tariff and then when the tariff is removed they don't lower the prices and act like they don't know what you are talking about when you mention the tariff was removed.
No stop telling people about one of the few low priced scotch brands out there 😂 Haven’t had the 18 yet as it is $150 and know I can pick it up in Europe for half that.
One of my top 5 favorites. I wish I could find it for

Only had the 15 so far and really enjoy it, so if I ever come across the 18 will surely grab it.
I love the 15yr. My friends love the 15yr. I'll have to track one of these down. Not a lot of stores near me carry it
Love the 15, have one of these 18's put away that I am looking forward to trying. Cheers Erick

Thanks for watching!

You have an amazing collection in the background ❤
And there a lot more that can't be seen on camera. I think it is ridiculous. If I wasn't a Whisky Tuber I would not have 1/10 of these bottles.
Thanks for video 📸 is Speyburn 10 any good? I only have that one in my local shop. I would love to try 15 and 18.
I've not had the 10
Would American Whiskey nerds have an opinion on scotch prices since the 25% tariff came off? Did stores EVER drop prices back to what they were?
"Tariff? What tariff? We never had any tariff. Lower prices? Sorry sir, I don't know what you are talking about..." (Short answer is, "no.")

$129 is the lowest I can find it locally. It is okay, but not sure is worth the price with the 15 being so good and well priced.
$129 is.a bit much. I think by mid-2016 we'll be seeing another Whisky Loch and prices will have to come down and a few distilleries will close.
I can't find it for under $150, so...
Jiminy Cricket! That's insane. What about online?
@@ErikWaitWhiskyStudies That is online. In NYC this is nowhere to be found.
