Insanely difficult task you've given yourself here, but I found myself nodding with your choices as they came up on screen. This is definitely a list for folks becoming more interested in whisky after trying a range of bottles up to 50 quid in value. I think it's going to help many potential buyers find a direction for their purchasing considerations. And - as always - you've done it in an entertaining and light-hearted manner. Good one. Cheers!

Great list my friend and all worthy. I actually found the below £50 list easier because over £50 I buy as much rum, mezcal, bourbon, Armagnac etc, so my personal range of regular whisky buys between £50-100 is more conservative. My arsehole list is based on the fact that these are on my shelf more often than not than other whiskies and nothing to do with the quality of the other fine drams that could easily be on my list. No particular order. 1. Bruichladdich Bere Barley - I love the ones from Orkney. You could never guess the age. 2. Highland Park 16, Twisted Tattoo - Restored my faith in Highland Park. 3. Laphroaig 10 Cask Strength - This is what Laphroaig is all about for me. 4. Aberlour A'bunadh - Yes the price is stupid but I always want it on my shelf. Prefer it to the 105. 5. Talisker 18 - Talisker but with some sophistication and richness. 6. Port Charlotte Islay Barley - Another great value from Port Charlotte. 7. Springbank 12 Cask Strength - Difficult to buy these days but a classic and I love it. 8. Benromach Cask Strength - A great alternative to the Springbank. Compare them blind. 9. Glencadam 21 - That's right, 21 years old and matured in good casks. A fruit bomb. 10. Virtually impossible to choose and I'm reserving this as the last soldier. This is in honour of all the many whiskies I could select but share equal praise. Peace. WT

Many thanks for your interesting inputs. Will keep some of them in the back of my head. Laphroig 10y Cask Strenght on top of my bucket list for sure.. never had a bottling from Benromach, now I am curious For me on such a list would belong GlenAllachie 10 Cask Strength Killkerran 8y Cask Strength Sherry Glen Scotia Victoriana The Arran Quarter Cask The Bothy Not sure if they all in the price range pf 50£ - 100£, would need to check but too lazy. 😉 Greetings from 🇨🇭

Tough job but no doubt you're up to the challenge. Tasty list, too bad I haven't tried some of them and now prices here across the pond are getting ridiculous, I'm just going to wait for better entry point (hopefully within my lifetime). Enjoying your presentation no less. Keep the lists rolling man. Btw, glad to hear you are not totally loving the Bunna 12 either; having a dram of it now - good, decent viscosity and depth but I'm not goin gaga over it.

6 @cask strength 3 18 year olds And an age stated highland peat... But 5 NAS.. I think we could convert to 70-140 USD. We see alot of 18 year olds at $80 up to $125+ and many young NAS CS @$70-100. But the cult classic quintisential NAS's are usually 90-130. So...except for the Talisker and the Glendronach we can do the whole list over here. They are killing us with Glendronach here.

I have watched all your videos bruv, I have been a fan & a sub since the start of your channel. as you might have noticed top 10 & VS videos are very popular and they will help you grow quicker. peat and smoky whiskys are also very popular topics too. also keep your funny, sense of humor and wacky personality which will make you stand out from other whisky channel. you have better quality video and very good setup which also will help you expand faster. you have a big collection which give you the option of making many videos as well. i think budget top 10 whisky in many categories will help too. I hope you dont mind a bit of feedback from your younger brother!!! who has been making videos a bit longer than you.. ..from london with love Naz
