As far as Hazelburn being easier to find than Springbank, I can say my experience has been the opposite here in Scotland. Springbank 10 does pop up now and again (albeit briefly before selling out) and I can get Longrow quite easily, but I've never encountered a bottle of Hazelburn 10 in the wild.

@Gwhisky

Odd. It's the opposite in my market, with Hazelburn usually sticking around on shelves longer. Longrow is the easiest to get here, too, though. 🥃

I think First Phil speaks that Gaelic dialect which is ever so popular in Southern Australia 😂

Highlands: Deanston 12 (I know you're not a Deanston fan, what is wrong with you?😉) Speyside: Craigellachie 13 Islands: Arran 10 Islay: Bunnahabhain 12 (preferably Cask Strength) Campbeltown: Tough, as I don't like peat, so I'll go minimum peat with Glen Scotia 15 (it's ok. I have had a sample of Hazelburn and I swear it was slightly peated...maybe it just picks up that character from the Springbank atmosphere, or I'm just hypersensitive to peat) Lowlands: I've only ever had one (Auchentoshin...I don't care if I misspell it) and I hated it. Therefore, I will cheat here - Since their warehouses are across the street in the Lowlands, I am going to count Glengoyne Cask Strength as a Lowland, with all apologies to their Highlandsness. Thanks for another great video. Cheers!

Good video. Definitely agree with you about Glenglassaugh Sandend and Tamdhu 12. Tamdhu 12 reminds me of Macallan back in the 80’s and 90’s when Macallan still used good casks and was priced reasonably. The Sandend makes me excited to see what Rachel Barrie can do in the future as she bottles more or her own distillate. She got the Sandend right. Not a fan of Lagavulin or Talisker, but that’s because I’m not a peat fan. Haven’t tried Bladnoch or Hazelburn. As always, it is fun to watch your videos, whether I agree or disagree with your conclusions. Keep up the good work!

If we accept Islands as a region (and I think we should) then Oban and Ardnamurchan have to both be classed as island whiskies for me. Apart the the screamingly obvious issue with that position 😂, both the character and location of those whiskies puts them firmly in the island region with the rest of the actual island whiskies

PNG being real silent since this video dropped.

Bladnoch went in the completely opposite direction i had hoped. A few years ago i had the 10 year old bottle and it was fantastic. Up there as one of my favorite 10's. Since then they have decided to pump out dozens of non-age statement bottles with completely random prices (none of them good prices either). I cant see myslef buying another bottle, which is a shame.

Sandend!!! Yes.

It would be interesting to hear what your view would be on the distinguishing characteristics of whisky from other regions of the whisky-verse and give them their own defined status/classification by reference to the Scottish categories. Example might be that Taiwanese whisky is similar to say xxx which is not unlike say Speyside.

I think the consumer needs to protect the industry from itself sometimes . First it was caramel , then chill filtered , now its non age statement. Even if you find one that tastes good it should be boycotted at all costs . Why? Because the industry is run by suits in the city who don't give a stuff about the product . Higher turnover i.e. bigger profits. A product the take 10 years or more before a return is made sells itself.
