Thanks for making this Sir Malt. I'm addicted to the smoke vs other whiskies. Never can be too much peat. Love all the Ardbegs. Look forward to trying the others on your list.

Cool and entertaining video, MaltActivist, as always! I agree with almost everything you said. PC6 was crazy good, almost unbelievably so, and Kilchoman is bound to be a future superstar on the whisky stage. I loved Ardbeg Alligator all right but Rollercoaster remains my favourite. Also I remember Talisker 175th Anniversary very fondly, and Longrow 18yo is one of my top 10 malts. Well done again - cheers and look forward to the next video. 😄

Took me a long time to not be put off by any peat but when I finally broke through a whole new group of bottles to explore became available. Favorite peated distillery bottle so far is Port Charlotte MRC:01. Some other favorites include, PC 10, Kilchoman 100% Islay barley releases, Longrow NAS, Laphroig 10 CS, Ardbeg Uigeadail. Also enjoy chasing dusty pre Viking Hype Highland Park bottles too. Recently opened a independent "The Ultimate" Bunnahabhain-Staoisha 5yr. 7mo. 60.1% from a scraped re charred hogshead that is Outstanding ! Wish I had bought two more. Cheers

@@MaltActivist I really mean it. It must have taken some work to narrow down to this fine list. Agree with numerous points here. If I may add one more independent bottler to what you have mentioned, that will be Aldephi’s Caol Ila at high strength. They are real aces, just incredibly rich and velvety.

I dont know any whiskey that I loved as much as Laphroaig when i first tried it. Then I got the QA Cask. But lately I dont know why but it just seems too medicinal and antitode'y. So Im kind of over it which is a shame. I also find Double Black quite enthralling despite its industrious nature. After watching this video, I've asked someone to procure an Ardberg for me so thanks MA.

Ardbeg and Octomore aside Bruichladdich PCs are amazing! I uesd to have the PC12 and my God what a whisky! Sadly in my country it is hard to get many whiskies so I have to rely on my company trips abroad. Not really sure why but my love for Lagavulin has withered over the years. They seem less nuanced somehow. Laphroaig can be amazing, but some of their releases are underwhelming. Kilchoman has some really nice releases, but too many that just seem to be off balance (to me). Talisker again some amzing stuff, but these days I think all the really good ones are hard to come by. Highland Park has to be no 1 over all for me even if it is mildly smoky compared to many others. But sadly again the best stuff is starting to go out of my reach. Sorry for the long text, nobody cares 😀 But smoky whisky gets my mind racing and mouth salivating. Slainte!
