What a typically modest and gracious end-of-year, looking-forward, set of comments from you. Happy New Year to you, Ralfy, and many more successes, too.

Thank you for your entertainment and sharing your knowledge another year. My best wishes for 2024! Cheers!

Cheers! I hope you have had a good Christmas - and I hope you will have a very happy 2024!

Hello, thanks for your excellent contribution, I've enjoyed it. Thank you very much for 2023 and best wishes for the next year. Have a good time and cheers, Martin Neulen, from Bielefeld /Germany

Happy new year to you Ralfy. Thank you for sharing your love for whisky.

Ralfy, I just want to thank you for your continuing good advice and information for those of us who love our malt whisky. All the best for 2024.

I'm just completing the first full year of my whisky journey. Thank you for your malt guidance and for your words of wisdom on how to manage the experience for my maximum enjoyment in coordination with my overall well being. It has made my journey that much better. A Happy & Healthy New Year to you!

Thanks again, Ralfy. As always, a true pleasure! The very best to you in 2024.

The sentiment is exactly right. Good quality and good value are the two key ingredients. A great bit of advice. Well said Ralfy. May 2024 be a year that brings you much happiness. Michael

Congratulations on a great year, Ralfy! Always love stopping by to listen to you.

Thank you for all your work for us, whisk(e)y lovers!! ❤

Fantastic content and absolutely the right sentiment. Spot on Ralfy. All the best for 2024 🎉🍻👌💯

Hello, I did it..., I did it, based on your recommendation, ordered the 'McLean's nose'. Today the bottle was in the mail & a dram was taken towards the evening. Mmmmmh, brilliant, a pleasure. The 2 bottle has already been ordered... 😊 Thank's for your recommendation, again. Best wishes and kind regards, Martin Neulen, from Bielefeld / Germany

Another year has come and passed, always nice to share that time with our kindly Uncle across the pond, Cheers Ralfy!

Wishing you a merry Christmas and wonderful new year. All strength to you and may you continue producing great content. Hope to see you in sunny South Africa in 2024!

Happy New Year, pal! I can't believe that's 14 years and 1k videos already. Time does indeed fly when you're having fun. Thanks for the mention of our Glasgow's Whisky Festival and hopefully you'll join us again later this year. Have a good one and see you soon!

Excellent choice, hope you had a good Christmas and catch up in the New Year. 🎉

Merry Christmas Ralfy - Thank you for all your knowledge and entertainment. Have a fantastic 2024

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you Ralfy! Thank you for your ongoing presence and common sense reviews. Cheers mate!

Thank you for another year of sharing your knowledge, experience, and perspective!

Thank you Ralfy for a stellar year of reviews and congrats again on the now 1000+ reviews. Hope you had a merry Christmas and heres to a happy new year, I'll be sipping a Laphroaig Cask Strength on Hogmanay.

Happy Hogmanay Ralfy! Lang may yer lum reek!! A Happy New Year when it comes. Hope to view many more new videos of you in 2024!

Merry Christmas 🎄and Happy New Year to you Ralfy, appreciate all your content and how it’s researched and presented, Thanks from Ohio USA

Wasn't expecting a blend , however it was a pleasure to meet you at the good spirits company recently and get a few personal recommendations from the shelfs and the book life , death and whisky is a great read , all the best for 2024.

Cheers to you Ralfy..all the best and good health for the new (whisky)year..looking forward to seeing more of your new vlogs in 2024

I have to get my hands on this one! Cheers to a great 2023 Ralfy and roll on 2024!

It's classy stuff from a classy company. Congrats on a milestone year Ralfy.

Great to see an affordable, available and well presented Whisky of the Year. I've been enjoying this one too. Cheers to the year ahead🥃

Thank you Ralfy for sharing your knowledge and experiences with us. It is much appreciated. 🥃

Recently purchased both this and Thompson Brothers bottling after your video at the Good Spirits Co. Fantastic to see a blend get this accolade, and to see blends being produced with the same integrity as single malt bottling, all at an affordable price! Excellent content as always Ralphy, and look forward to all your reviews and comments over the next 12 months!

Whisky of the Year costs less than £30. Fabulous. What we need more??? Happy to have it and really enjoying it. This modern Craft presentation Blend is far better than dozens of mediocre overpriced Single Malts. Thank you Ralfy for 2023 and all passed years. Looking forward for 2024. Cheers and Slàinte 👍😁👏🙋🏻‍♂️

Keep it quality and keep it value. Well said and thanks Ralfy...great recommendation!

Excellent. Thanks. And Happy New Year from So. Oregon, USA.

I’ll pick one of these up as soon as they make their way to NYC! Thanks Ralfy and Happy New Year! 🎉

Guten Rutsch und alles gute im neuen Jahr 🎉

Thanks for every you do for the community, Ralfy. Proper interesting choice! Slainte

Merry Christmas, comrade sensei Ralfy! Wish you a healthy, malty and successful New Year!

Courageous and current! It’s why we love your reviews so much Ralfy.

Thank you and happy new year! Just purchased two bottles to try.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom Ralfy. Happy new year.🎉

All the best for 2024 my guru

I tried some at the Milano whisky festival and it was a really good value dram. Keep it value, I like that. Happiest New Year’s wishes for 2024 dear Ralfy. Best wishes, S.

Thank you Ralfy for another year of priceless knowledge. Blessings to you my friend. SLB Drinks

Excellent video. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Ralfy. Cheers!

Happy New Year to you Ralfy!! Thank you for all your reviews and guidance in the last many years. Do dheagh shláinte 🥃 Sláinte Mhath Gary

Another great year on the channel! Looking forward to acquiring this bottle, cheers Ralfy!

Thanks, Ralfy. Got my bottle of this a couple of months back -- looking forward to getting into it even more now! Cheers. 🥃

Congrats for 14 years of reviews and 3 years of OSWAs. It's been quite a ride, watching you since roughly 2011 I guess. One of the first whiskies I bought because of you was the balblair 02. I still got some left of it because I'm rationing it carefully as one of my best 10y.o. Should probably finally kill that bottle haha. Cheers to many more years and thanks for your immeasurable contribution to the scene.

Chuffed with this as this is top of my list to try in new year along with Cotswold.

Ralfy can you do a peated category and a none peated category because there are a lot of whisky drinkers that don’t like peat smoke in their whisky. This has peat smoke in it so it’s a no go for many of us. A blended whisky is no problem but the peat….big problem. Cheers.

Merry Christmas to you Ralfy and may 2024 be the best year ever.

I just want to say thank you Ralph for all the reviews and content. God bless you brother!

Thanks for the whisky journey so far!!!! Fully deserved whisky of the year this bottling of Ardnamurchan because i know how it smells and tastes! Also great quality budgetwise!!

Ralfy Happy New Year always great to watch you. Thank you for continuing your journey. Always will consider you a true friend. My 2024 award is Edradour Bourbon Cask.

Thanks for another great year, Ralfy! Happy New Year.

Thank you, Ralfy!! Happy Holidays!

Thank you, Ralfy, for another interesting review and information. I enjoy your reviews very much and look forward to 2024.

Cheers Ralfy, cannot argue with your whisky of the year, have bought more bottles of Maclean's Nose to drink and gift than any other this past year. All the best for 2024!! 🥃

As someone whose favorite pours are from bottles opened years ago, I appreciate your endorsement on allowing bottles to evolve over time.

Yes its been a great journey! Thanks Ralfy!

Thanks Ralfy for another great year of reviews. Looking forward to 2024 cheers

Love these informal Bothy chats, and many thanks for always generously sharing The Knowledge. There are some killer single malts, and many weird and wonderful whiskies being produced here in Canada. It's quite fascinating. I'm keeping much of my spending local (in country) these days. Haven't been disappointed. Wishing you good health and great success for this coming New Year! Cheers Ralfy 🥃🥃 Marian 🇨🇦

Best wishes, Ralfy and keep on rocking. Thanks for putting sense into my daily dribble

A blend? Ralfy of 20 years ago would be shaking his head at the direction taken here.

Bold choice! In my humble opinion there's lots of room for improvement in blends.I haven't bought any in years except Compass box products. We all wish good quality spirits with good value. Merry Christmas to you Ralfy and all malt mates!

Cheers Ralfy. And a very Happy New Year when it comes 🥃

Your review of Lagavulin 12 was the fist whisky review I ever watched, review 91, I think. thank you. Cheers, Mike

Thanks and Happy New Year .😋🥃🥃🥃

Happy New Year Ralfy. Thompson Bro and North Star have been my indi bottlers of choice for blends over the last year, with the quality being great.

Thank you for supporting food banks. I know people that have had to use them, and it's heartwarming to see them supported. As you said, we definitely shouldn't need them and it's a major failure of our society. However, we do need them, and any support people can give them helps greatly! Happy Holidays, and here's to more Ralfy in the future.

Did not expect that.... Looking forward to the review. Thanks for a brilliant 12 months of whiskey Ralfy. All the best for 2024

Oh! I like it also very much. A lot of whisky for a more then decent price. Well chosen!

happy new year ralfy! Really appreciate you!

Once again enjoyed your video bought a bottle of mcleans Nose recently, and what a whisky. I'm starting to explore more Blended whiskies slainte

Top content as always. A pleasure to listen to you and bought many bottles that you've recommended. Never disappointed. Keep it going Ralfy

Merry New Year Ralfy! Lookin forward to a great new year

Thanks for your efforts and commitment to the whiskey enthusiast community Ralfy!

Merry Christmas Ralfy...here's to many more malt moments in 2024. Always quality over quantity. I shall be joining you with a dram of Mcleans Nose for the WOTY review. Let's hope prices stay reasonable afterwards.

I was just eyeballing this bottle today remembering that you brought it up before. I'll surely pull that trigger soon.

Thank you. Merry Christmas bless you Healthy. Waiting next your review and sharing whiskey knowledge.

Thank you and congratulations to you, Ralfy!

Nice fire, happy new years Ralfy…🎉

Ralfy for the people! So glad you are still championing a frugal and virtuous approach to whiskey!

A very sincere Happy New Year to you Ralfy. I hope your 2024 brings you health and happiness. Thanks for the great reviews and comments and teachings.

Happy New Year, Ralfy!

Happy New Year, Ralfy !!!

Well I wasn’t expecting that! But you always keep it real Ralfy and that’s why we love and trust you.

Happy Holidays everyone ❤

Thanks for this, great message to the producers

thanks, a fordable whisky that is unobtanable. no problem, Happy New Year!

Well said, Ralfy! Fair to say these reviews are not encouraging irresponsible consumption. Let's hope KZread and the powers that be recognize the difference. And yes, we need to concentrate on the 'progress we're making' 😁 Cheers from YorktownWhiskeyClub - not quite 2yrs old but growing rapidly : )

Love this channel.

🎉Awesome! Love the wood stove! I am greatful to be gifted some single malts this year as the prices are insane. I pulled the trigger on a 25 year old Bas Armagnac De Lourds I think. Its so good im saving it for some malt mates a state over. Cheers and all the best!

Hey - sorry I have not been viewing recent uploads - for some reason KZread is not showing me updates - anyways - great vid as always - happy health and a great New Year to you and your bro - thanks again!

Blended scotch for a whisky of the year? Ralfy, you've came a long way! 😜

What a coincidence^^ i have it as my christmas curiosity bottle:) greetings!

I just ordered a couple of bottles and im looking forward to tasting this one. The value seems great.

Cheers Ralfy, I am trying to allow bottles to last but it's hard when it taste so good but definitely trying to allow bottles to sit on shelf for longer .cheers to your never ending knowledge and advice .your a teacher to us all .another year well done.i look forward to your future videos .and yes shame can't get your bottling shipped to down here in Australia 😢 but happy New year's Ralfy catch you in the new year

Great to be back.
