Five Best Whiskies in the World 

Your on the money, exactly that!

Personally, I go by the "the best whiskey in the world is the stuff you enjoy with a quiet moment by yourself". Whiskey is one of those drinks that I've come to not associate with social drinking. One, because really good whiskey can be immensely expensive and two, because people that genuinely enjoy whiskey are few and far between(at least where I live).

Well... note everyone has friends like you, for me and for a lot of people whiskey is the only friend...

Should have read your comment first

Life saver haha

Laphroaig is my favorite distiller, with the quarter cask being my favorite of their whiskies. The 10 is quite good too, though.

Haven't had an expression from Laphroaig that I didn't like.

For Smokey peaty, got to be the port charlotte

Great choices and way better then the ones suggested

Pretty good list, I always seem to come back to Talisker, enjoy all styles from Springbank to Highland Park but find laphroaig too peaty.

ya Lagavulin and Talisker are great if you can ever get the Talisker 2019 Distiller's Edition that is fantastic

+MrYahooFreeman just had glengoyne 18, and i highly recommend it

+cas1994 still waiting to crack mine :)

I Still haven't opened my Glengoyne 21 yet, But as a regular tipple - i'm enjoying my Dalwhinnie 15 very much. AT £35 in Tesco it's good value for a 15yr old. I haven't sampled enough different whiskies to give a top 5, But i'm not much for heavy smoke/peat & it's each to their own anyway :)

Well said!

I'm about 1/3 into a bottle of Glenlivet 15 right now. I wasn't overly impressed until this stage, but it's really starting to come to life now.

Interesting facts. Thanks.

"drip water into it" Are you some kind of degenerate?

Maybe inform yourself. A few drops of roomtemperatured water can actually improve a whiskey since it opens up some of the oils in it. Plus the right way to drink whiskey is the way YOU like it.

There are some whiskeys that benefit from a drop of water. But Lagavulin is much better pure neat imo

The Crimson Fucker That is an acceptable method in drinking whiskey.

@@nimueh4298 According to degenerates.

+Finn McCool I used to say that also before ı taste Ardbeg.

+Can Yonca I haven't tried Ardbeg, but I could use a new bottle of something. Is it smoky and peaty?

İts smokey and peaty. The first taste and smell is weird actually. It smells and tastes iodine, the smoke comes afterwards. But once when you get used to it you like that smell and taste.

+Finn McCool I adore Lagavulin too but couldn't find it in the pub I visited last night so I drank Tobermory which tasted incredibly similar but is significantly less money.

I'll try it!

I love the Talisker 10 and the Lagavulin 16, and i have thought about buying the Suntory ahibiki Japanese Harmony but it is quite hard to get where I live

Great Choice in selection!

👍

Have u tried Ledaig 10, Port Charlotte 10, both smiley and peaty, unreal whiskey

326 is way high-that's more likely the price for a late 80's bottling. A new bottling of Mac 18 is just under 200.

The way I do it is to buy the 375mL for about 90. I don't drink a ton of scotch-so that doesn't break the bank.

Cdubp01 Thanks for your comment :).. I just see many of these videos with people having to much money too spend.. haha.. The question I always ask myself is.. even if i have money to spare.. would wiskey off that price be worth it compared to other fun things!... or 4 bottles of less prominent wiskey.. I for example love glen morangie 10 or a bit more expensive one like Oban 14... or the really well priced glen moray 16!..,, but than again.. How would others taste and is one of those expensive ones the ultimate flavor for me.. Ahh the thoughts..soz for long reply! heheh

It's a matter of personal taste and personal resources. By the way, Glenmorangie 10 year is a very decent scotch--and very drinkable.

or just get a really nice bourbon for like 80$ or there abouts. or some of the nice canadian whiskies. japan has some nice stuff thats less then that. you could also get a malt from the states or canada.

Islay whiskys are even better to my mind. Ardbeg 10, Laphroaig 10, Lagavulin 16. All reasonably priced

try yourself a Springbank 12 15 or 18 yr

Malleous Tartarus Hear, HEAR! I LOVE Islay whiskies, with the Laphroaig Quarter Cask being my very favorite. The 10 year is also excellent, and really not expensive. A lot of the super-old, super-high-end whiskies I've tried have been almost too 'soft' or 'smooth', without all the big boisterous personality I love so much about slightly newer, more 'raw' Islay whisky. I do, however, genuinely love Macallan 18. My friend and I used to buy a bottle every time we came into unexpected money and share it. It's pretty special.

GS 5717 I'll do it!

@@johnniebee4328 nothing wrong with Springbank 10 either, very good stuff

James D. Wheeler I can only imagine what he would say sat in his manx bothy

hahahhhhaha

Man what is with the quarter cask? It's the most expensive whiskey I've bought, prices are higher here in AUS, and it just doesn't deliver for me but everyone raves about it. The Ardbeg 10 delivered way more for me but I can't help but think I've missed something. Do i need to add water or what?

Lagavulin 16, Laphroaig Quarter Cask are two of my favourites. If you like peat, try Paul John Edited. It's an Indian Single Malt and quite superb. Outside of Islay and peat, the Dalmore 15 does it for me. What balance. Also love the Ballantine's 21 yr old scotch. Brilliant.

sven hopla...surprising on the Quarter Cask price. It's usually comparable to the Laphroaig 10 almost everywhere I've checked. Australia being among the places I haven't though. :)

Lagavulin isnt a real lagavulin til you try the 16 year, fyi.

Yeah, that stuff sucks. Ship it over here and I'll get rid of it for you!!!

My very 1st Laphroaig was a 13 year old cask strength from Cadenheads. Love at first taste!

Yeah. It's a good one.

I meant "Highland".

+david obryan I've tried one.The Hibiki 12yo,would be one of the nicest and smoothest Whiskeys I've tried.

The Whisky Drinker the hibiki is absolutely delicius

What bourbons would you recommend David?

arosuzi I just tried that for my first time yesterday, I will def have It again

Yeah, its quite nice whisky. For its price.

arosuzi heck yeah, the Smokey briny after taste is great. really enjoyable sipping scotch

try Lagavulin 12, you'll like it

Every time.....every time. It is easily the best whiskey (the 16 year) I've ever had. I had that McCallan 18 and you can get 3 bottles of Lagavulin 16 for that price.

Jeez, grow up. Just because it's peated doesn't mean it's smoke damaged. Personally, I don't care for heavily peated Scotch, regardless of the brand. But, I do like a lightly peated Scotch, such as Johnny Walker black label, once in a while, and more likely as one of the ingredients of a cocktail. It's simply a matter of taste.

JW in coctails.. Oh, my... What a shame. God is the witness, it's crazy times.

Well most of them are too expensive but I really enjoy the Green Spot and it's about 40€ a bottle

David Hartwell you can buy the green spot in Dublin, it's fairly cheap there.

Not sure if you caught his target audience...the private jet crowd. The almost limitlessly wealthy are easily caught up in buying $1000+ bottles of auction Whiskey only to find out they just wasted their money for bull piss in a dusty bottle.

10yo you can’t even find them anymore. Price skyrocketed.

What you mentioned is garbage. No disrespect. You just have not experienced great stuff. Play outside of the box from the normal garbage you see at a bar. I started my elaborate scotch tasting one year ago. After drinking fine scotch for one year, I will never put what you mentioned in my mouth.

sven hopla Nope he is dead right, you are wrong. Taste is subjective and he knows what he likes as you do.

Nah that's not true. There's levels of quality when it comes to things like whisky a small distillery like Ardbeg is going to work to higher standard than a mass produced whisky like Johnny Walker or Crown Royal. It's the reason that once people have acclimatizing their pallet they all end up in similar places, places that aren't Johnny Walker.

It wasn't perfected in Scotland, it was already perfected by the Irish in the 18th and 19th centuries when Scotch was still in its infancy.Ireland put it on the map before falling by the wayside in the 20th century due to economic and political reasons.

Adam Martin I don't disagree with you. Irish whiskey is great and underestimated.

No you dont

No. Pappy is in the "5 Best Kool-Aids" video.

you forgot your cousin. jk

It's good to have a hobby.

Whilst there is a place for every whisky, (i actually quite like famous grouse) and everyone should just drink whatever they like that they can afford, i have to say.... "Whyte and Mackay, Bells, Johnny Walker, The Famous Grouse, Grants, and a few more, look not further than any of them, cause there are none better anywhere in the world" What complete and utter bullshit. Have you tried other options? Glendronach 18?( mY personal favourite whisky) Have you tried any japanese, taiwanese, indian, french, american, south african, swedish, welsh, irish, or any other of about 2 dozen countries whiskies? All of them have whiskies easily better than any of those on your list, some for even lower prices, this is not about a price point. Just because you have been drinking for 50 yrs doesn't mean you know what you are on about. Ive worked in a whisky shop for the last 3 years and the amount of people who have been drinking for decades that dont know anything about whisky is unreal. Also, "expert" what exactly makes you an expert, do you have a degree in chemical engineering or distillation? have you worked for a distillery? Have you been reviewing whiskies professionally for years? Have you written a published book on the issue? DO you sell whisky as a profession? Have you researched the history of whisky across the world? NO? Then you are not an expert ( to be clear I dont class myself as an expert, im not that egotistical, but i can guarantee that I know more about whisky than you)

I like both equally!

cheap Ballantines Scotch by far is the worst Scotch you can buy.
