As always thank you Phil, great video, great information very well presented. My favorite so far are the GlenAllachie 10yo and the A’bunadh. I’ll will be looking forward to finding the other choices, especially the Tamdhu one. Cheers from Montreal.

@dgunnut6550 Год назад

Great video! I love sherry bombs, but admittedly the only cask strength bottle I have is the Aberlour. Thanks for the ideas of others to try.

@nzmarco Год назад

I do like my sherried scotch. Was eyeing up the A'Bunadh batch 60 having never sampled Aberlour, but ended up picking up Balvenie CC instead. It sits well with my Oban 14.

@xXChronoTriggerXx13 Год назад

I agree with you on how good Cardrona Growing Wings is! I was in New Zealand for work earlier this year and tried it at a bar in Auckland and was blown away by it. Was able to get my hands on a bottle, but mine is the Growing Wings 5yr Cask Strength Olorosso Sherry & Bourbon 65.5% edition. I will be opening it soon and going to do some blinds with it for my whiskey nights to see how it stacks up.

@djbeacon6895 Год назад

Great to see Arran's The Bodega Sherry Cask make the list. Agreed not as heavily sherried as the others but the balance is so good, it's just a fantastic scotch with the right amount of sherry. A very heavy sherry bomb but from an IB is the 13 year Strathmill CS from Signatory!! Outta this world!

@Nicolas_Allende Год назад

This video is the best way to start a day after a looooong shift (it's morning here in Argentina)! Great upload Phil

@FirstPhilWhisky Год назад

Cheers Nicolás! Glad my video can help after a long shift like that!

@BrianCaballes Год назад

My 2 sherry bombs made it to your video: Glendronach CS and Aberlour A'Bunadh! Many thanks Phil! Cheers!

@esmn66 Год назад

Great video Phil I am not into cask strength whiskeys but I love Glenfarglas and I love Aberlour so glad the Glenfarglas 105 and the Aberlour abuna made your list Personally I am into sweet whisky and I tend not to like higher then about %46 ABV but Glenfarglas 12 and Aberlour 12 and 14 are 2 of my regular seen whisky in my whisky Cupboard!

@dasonhandjr Год назад

Glenfarclas 105 is pretty good. It’s been my weekend dram for the last month and it doesn’t ever disappoint. Cask strengths are nice too because of the depths discovered with added water.

@HELLios6 4 месяца назад

Thank you for the diagram that is amazing!!!

@Ballahooligan1 Год назад

Another great video Phil! This year's Campbeltown Festival release from Glen Scotia is cracking. Quite young at 8 years, but PX finished and peated. Absolutely lovely.

@riottrinity2030 Год назад

I've got a bottle of that that I'm very excited to open!

@Bannerman1903 Год назад

I got the Tamdhu and got strong notes of xmas pudding, love it! Cheers Phil

@JeffWhisky Год назад

Solid list Phil of some great drams. Personally I'm not a big sherry bomb lover and often find them a little sulphur forward. For me I like Dalmore 12 (to my shame) and the Atom Labs &whisky Christmas cake... For my sherry fix.

@WhiskyLoversSociety Год назад

Nice selection. Like the editing as well. Cheers

@simongilbert2704 Год назад

good review , you are actually showing the regions which are very close to each other macallan is addressed as being in moray aberlour . [ easter elchies , craigellachie ],

@distlledbrewedreviewed Год назад

Excellent list my friend, cheers!

@chrisbergin390 Год назад

Love your videos phil. Very informative and well researched. Im visiting arran next month, gunna book myself in for a tasting session and will probably treat myself to an arran 18, their best whisky in my opinion

@FirstPhilWhisky Год назад

Thanks Chris! Love the Arran 18. My fav of the line-up. Have fun!

@davidowen2834 Год назад

Hi Phil, I actually prefer an ex bourbon cask matured whisky but Glendronach 18, a’bunadh, the núderra and Glen Allachie 10 CS batch 3 are all good sherry bombs. As always Phil a good thought though and presented video, 👍, slàinte.

@kevinhoctor62 Год назад

My favorite Sherry Bomb whisky is the Aberlour A'bunadh, but I've actually been grabbing my bottle of Tamdhu Batch 5 a lot lately. My newest sherry-bomb favorite is the Kilchoman Loch Gorm 2021. The Kavalan Solist expressions haven't wowed me for the price. I've only tried their Port and Ex-Bourbon casks, but I'm not shelling out the cash for their Sherry version at this point. Another great video, Phil. Cheers!

@FirstPhilWhisky Год назад

Thanks, Kevin! Yeah, I haven't loved the Kavalan whiskies - especially at the price point they are asking. Big fan of Tamdhu Batch 5. Loch Gorm is also an excellent choice; they know how to blend the sherry and smoky notes without either flavour dominating.

@BrianCaballes Год назад

@@FirstPhilWhisky this can be a next video, hybrid casks, peat monsters or the "odd" but great whiskys. Cheers!

@ratedAD Год назад

Wow! Surprised to hear Kavalan isn't a winner for you guys. Have you tried the Vinho Barrique? It's my favorite expression from Kavalan. Won tons of awards. Not cheap.

@laurentsteck6086 Год назад

Very nice Video. I like sherry whiskies. I just had a dram of an independent bottler that would be on the fare right top corner of your diagram. It’s the most heavily sherried that I had so fare. It’s the “Blossoming Auld Sherried Michel Couvreur”. It’s not my favorite, but it’s so special… A really interesting Dram. One of my favourite wherry whisky is :”Blair Athol 2006 14 Year Old Adelphi RAF Benevolent Fund” (alredy my second bottle 😛). I agree that the Arran Sherry Cask and Aberlour A`bunadh are solid whiskies.

@Bkump 5 месяцев назад

My favourite Sherry casked scotches are Abelour A’bunahd and I have had a couple bottles of Lagavulin 16 Year Destillers Edition that were Sherry Casked and quite enjoyable.

@VinegarAndSaltedFries Год назад

Just tried a new one, Cotswold Sherry Cask it’s lovely. Redbreast PX was also absolutely stunning sadly not common.

@buckman341 Год назад

Cooper's Choice - Smoking Sherry (Caol Ila), is a really interesting one, although limited in numbers of bottles so maybe hard to get. Very hot, very smokey, you will think of smoke and fire. I add water to cool it off and then I can taste the sherry flavor we're used to: raisins, figs, fruits, some chocolate, etc. Very rich and oily.

@allanwhittle3041 Год назад

How have i missed your channel for so long , superb content , very well presented ..I'm converted !!...Thanks

@FirstPhilWhisky Год назад

Great to have you here Allan! Cheers!

@budj13 Год назад

Loch Gorum is one of my very favorite single malts and it is impressive that Kilchoman as a young distillery is putting out product to rival Lagavulin and Ardbeg. Great video, Phil. I have yet to get my hands on the Tamdhu but I'll keep trying to get it. I'm sure I will like it.

@DayKlight Год назад

for me to be honest, to rival ardbeg atm is not really a challange since their newer cask managment of selling the standing in the corner casks that dont hit the quality mark, (but then want the same or more money as before) is a sad choice.

@utoobia Год назад

@@DayKlight…I’ve had 2022 bottlings of the 10, Corryvreckan and Uigeadail. All still very good. I think it’s the overpriced special releases where they fail.

@TheWhiskeyGeek 3 месяца назад

Good video Phil but most of all thanks for the diagram. It's been very helpful.

@dr.j5642 Год назад

The Glenfarclas Family Cask line has some amazing sherry bombs. Glendronach Cask Strength line is good too. Sherry bombs are nice but imo the best drinking, most quaffable drams are from refill, 3rd fill, and 4th fill sherry casks. 4th fills are exceedingly rare but they’re just divine.

@WhooshFlyingHorse444 6 месяцев назад

Great selection there bud (even the honourable mentions).

@generynkewicz4871 Год назад

Kavalan Soloist is the best whiskey I've ever tasted. Just incredible if you ever get a chance to try it.

@HanJin907 Месяц назад

The Kavalan sherry cask is amazing. My favorite whiskey I’ve ever tried actually. But yeah, expensive and impossible to find in the US. Aberlour A’bunadh is my next favorite and is also really great.

@kellywellington7122 Год назад

I seem to be leaning to triple barreled Scotches...Auchentoshen Three Barrel and Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban are my current favorites.

@gareth630 Год назад

I enjoyed that Phil, the Loch gorm i got into after the 5 drams for different occasions vid. The 105 can be hit and miss so I go to the 15 yr old. Of late done the Glenallachie 10 cask strength, Glengoyne c/s, Bunnahabhain 12 c/s, but when Christmas calls what beats a Glendronach 15. ( had both and love both ).

@FirstPhilWhisky Год назад

Great selection! Glad you like the Loch Gorm!

@ledani87 Год назад

another awesome video!

@jppagetoo Год назад

I turned my bourbon loving friend on to scotch with Aberlour. Even the standard 12yr is good stuff. You list is all good. I'd be happy to have a dram of any of them.

@FirstPhilWhisky Год назад

That's fantastic. It's a great one for Bourbon lovers, maybe because it's a little sweet.

@stevedemarsico924 Год назад

The Arbelour Cask Anagh is also quite good when I can't get the Abundah.

@hanswurst6742 Год назад

I love that diagram, really helpful, I kinda thought the ledaig 10 would be more to the left though. The Glenfarclas 105 cask strength is what I would consider the biggest sherry bomb I've had before. Love that bottle. You get so much bang for the buck too. Also got an unopened glendronach cs batch 10 (almost ordered the 9 before, pew lucky ;)

@FirstPhilWhisky Год назад

Hey Hans, I love the diagram too, I agree though, a few of the whisky placements that have been put on to it seem a bit dubious. Nice! Enjoy the Glendronach CS! Good work ordering the 10 👍😅

@ivane1168 5 месяцев назад

for sure, Ledaig10 to the left, close to Caol ila12, and Talisker10 to the right, instead of Ledaig10. Also Lag16 is more peated vs Ledaig10-Caol ila12. Blacklable is nearly zero peated, just a little.

@vin17b Год назад

Great video . Can not agree more @ Aberlour Abunadh , ultimate sherry bomb .

@kellykirschenman8853 12 дней назад

I started with the Batch #16 Aberlour A'Bunadh and still going strong into the 70s. This whisky is what I call candy water, you can drink touch to fast. Just Yummy

@kamenovkamen Год назад

Edradour 12 CS is excellent sherry bomb but it has a distinctive “dirty” character so it may not please some of the public. It has that weird machine oil notes mixed with heavily cooked plums made into a jam. One of the best whiskies I ever had, I regret not getting a second bottle as it’s completely sold out atm. If anyone come across a bottle - do not hesitate, it’s a treasure. edit: I’m referring to the one bottled in ibisco decanter, it was single cask as well.

@billk9856 Год назад

Agree ... nothing like the Edradour natural cask strengths and straight from the cask bottlings.

@numanuma20 4 месяца назад

Drinking Sherry now. I would love to see a fino Sherry and pale cream Sherry finished Scotch.

@DayKlight Год назад

if you can try the edradour, imagine the caledonia, but more sirupy texture more oily, intenser flavours but still tasting a malt note, how you still have a great matly note in a such heavy intense sherry buffles me, amazing whisky, cant say much about their batch variation, the one I got is amazing. To me personally, Edradour and Kavalan play in a different sherry league then aaalot of other distilleries/bottles.

@forrestdunton2451 Год назад

Pretty interesting list. Love the Tamdhu, The A’bunadh and the 105. Also love Uigidel, Loch Gorm but then peat is way more my thing than sherry. The Arran was forgettable, Kavalan unforgettable but not necessarily in a great way and Kilkerran 8 was fine but not special. I’d like to try the Ebradour since it’s mentioned a lot. Love the diagram, very much disagree with the guy who thinks it’s incorrect.

@bluegrassboy2448 11 месяцев назад

Hey Phil, you have an awesome channel, subscribed! In regards to Sherry casks, are they always charred before being filled? Are some Sherry casks just emptied out and used as is?

@VinceW187 Год назад

Thanks, a other great video

@alastairtoole4177 Год назад

Got to say one of my favourite sherry bombs is the GlenAllachie 15yo, you mentioned the 10yo in the video which I haven't tried. but the 15 is so smooth for being 46%

@FirstPhilWhisky Год назад

So good! I need to get a bottle of the 15

@victorescorza 26 дней назад

Great video. How can we get the map of the distilleries and their flavor profile? amazing work!

@absolutwhisky3105 Год назад

Glengoyne CS batch 6 which is the only batch thats full sherry matured. On the peated sherry, i liked the Smokehead Sherry Bomb.

@Dan-hn1lx Год назад

I can't go past the Tamdhu Batch Strength its just scrumptious and incredibly rounded not spikey at all. Great vid as usual mate

@FirstPhilWhisky Год назад

@declanesquire Год назад

Glenfarclas 15 100 proof TWE exclusive and Caol Ila Signatory cask strength 11 year old sherry cask TWE exclusive are my favs

@Gwhisky Год назад

Great list, man. I'm also somewhat underwhelmed with the Glenfarclas. Sad to see the Glenallachie 10 become so hyped up these days. Aberlour... not what it used to be but still a classic. Sort of. 😉🥃

@FirstPhilWhisky Год назад

Agree with all of that. I feel like Aberlour isn’t as rich or something. Dunno. I’m yet to try the Glenallachie 10. Hopefully when everyone stops stocking, I might get a bottle😅. 👍🥃

@superodfx Год назад

How much water would you guys add to a 30ml dram of aberlour, on an average day? I’m down to half a bottle #69, my first, and I can’t find the ‘sweet spot’ Cheers

@DayKlight Год назад

@@FirstPhilWhisky the aberlour is a sad shadow of its original batches, in older batches there were casks up to 25 years old in it, all european oak matured, now it became alot thiner and younger version of it

@josephweiss2271 Год назад

Bowmore 17/18 heavy on the sherry and light on the smoke, especially for an Islay. Used to be very affordable for the age statement, but it's over 100 USD nowadays in the States.

@FirstPhilWhisky Год назад

Yeah, there are not many Bowmore's I would buy these days.

@caskstrength7629 Год назад

That Edradour is 👌

@RedRoverTW 9 месяцев назад

Kavalan makes some fantastic whisky in general, but their sherry cask whiskies are especially great. In ascending order of pricing: Triple Sherry Cask, Oloroso Sherry, Solist Oloroso Single Cask Strength, Solist Amontillado Single Cask Strength, Solist Manzanilla Single Cask Strength, Solist PX Single Cask Strength, & Solist Moscatel Single Cask Strength. I hear prices are pretty crazy around the world for many of these, but here in Taiwan they're quite affordable. For the quality level, the Triple Sherry & basic Oloroso Sherry are pretty inexpensive everywhere. My favorite is the Solist Oloroso Single Cask Strength. All are pretty huge sherry bombs.

@robertor.monteiro4274 Год назад

Hello! First thank you for all this ... I really hope u are blessed. Can u let the Diagram too us download?

@albertmiller3082 2 месяца назад

My favorite is Macallan 18, distilled in 1972, bottled in 1990. The old Macallan bottlings are the quintessential Sherry Bombs. One could argue that Macallan led the Sherry Bomb wave from back in the 80’s & 90’s. Today, Macallan has gotten full of itself. Their casks aren’t what they were back in the 20th century. And the price points today are simply obscene. I was surprised that no mention of Macallan appeared in the video review or in the threads I’ve seen. In the mid-1980s there was no equal to this venerable old Speyside Distillery.

@Vortex1988 Год назад

My favorite sherried whisky I've tried so far has been Glendronach 18.

@FirstPhilWhisky Год назад

So good!

@lopicc13 2 месяца назад

@tylermurzyn5259 Год назад

My Favorite Sherry bomb would be the Glenalliche 12 and peated sherry be the Kilchomen Sainag. Both unreal whiskeys I always repurchase. I want to try the Loch Gorm but haven't been able to find it here in Canada where I'm at

@FirstPhilWhisky Год назад

Big fan of both of those!

@elduderino3120 Год назад

@Funkyflykiwi Год назад

Fellow Kiwi here and a sherry bomb aficionado, and while tastes are subjective i would strongly suggest that the Kavalan Solist should be top of this list, theres nothing like it that i have tried, the intensity is 2nd to none.

@GlenLossie 23 дня назад

Despite owning two Glengoyne Cask Strengths (Batch 8 and 10) I did not know that it was a sherry bomb. As for the Glenfarclas 105 I am saddened to hear about it being erratic but despite that I went for it when it went on sale the other day for half the price of the A'bunadh ($73 Canadian). Now I hear that the A'bunadh is not like it used to be though I am lucky enough to own a bottle of batch 47 or 49 (I can't remember).

@BanjoSick Год назад

smoky sherre bombs are my favorite whiskies!!!! Uegeadail and Sanaig for the win!!!!

@rodessink8302 Год назад

Clearly the edradour 12 year cask strength hands down, motor oil natural color and so much mouth watering richness. One of my favorite distilleries. Glendronach has to be the 18 or 21 year, heaven in a glass

@billk9856 Год назад

Agree ... when it comes to Sherry Bombs there's two types ... people who have experienced the best of Edradour and those who havent

@ipreferfreedom162 Год назад

@smashexentertainment676 Год назад

If you want an extreme sherry bomb, there's Teerenpeli Kaski, aged for it's entire life exclusively in an ex-Pedro Ximenez casks, it's just mind-blowing. Even tho it's not a cask strength, you won't be disappointed. Not a big fan of Oloroso sherry, so 105, Glendronach batch 9, Tomatin Sherry CS didn't do much for me. With only exception Kavalan Solist. Anything I tried from them, even very basics, blew my mind away. IMHO Scotland could learn some tips from them on how to make awesome whiskey ))) Apart from Islay, these guys are doing great! ))

@FirstPhilWhisky Год назад

That kaski bottle sounds amazing!

@jurii9486 Год назад

Jura Superstition this high on sherry/fruit? I've had a bottle and it's a very characterful malt, however full on smoked corn porridge and some caramel. I understand it has refill-sherry, however it's at its maximum middle of the road, if not at the bottom with bourbon-style whiskies.

@gatdellobregat Год назад

One doesn't necessarily need a sherry tooth to enjoy some once in a while. As for me, 105 and A'bunadh are my go to sh-bombs. Glendronach is way up north in terms of price, from Tamdhu I've only tried the 12yo and it's not bad at all and I've yet to try the Arran sherried way, but I'll give it a go as soon as my wallet recovers. Cheers from Bucharest!

@jamesboddington9565 9 месяцев назад

Clynelish 14 has a nice lick of sherry cask but for me has gone from shelf essential to optional good mid ranger the last year. Is it declining quality or that I'm increasingly gravitating to bourbon cask malts like Balblair and Deanston, I'm not sure

@keegan1728 Год назад

I have the Glendronach Batch 7... trust me, it's bad. Not a good way to start Rachel Barrie. Young, sharp, tannins galore. On the other hand I've tried the GlenAllachie Batch 6 and Aberlour A'bunadh Batch 69, but scrumptious. Glengoyne Batch 008 isn't bad either. And the Kavalan Solist is also excellent. Still to try, Glenfarclas 105 and Arran Sherry Cask. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

@KnickKiller Год назад

Bottled at 46% ABV, the Signatory Edradour 10 is probably my favorite sherried whisky. A’bundah is a classic. Unfortunately, the quality of the Uigeadial has dropped from where it was. I’d really like to try the Tea Pot Dram and Arran Sherry.

@singlemaltreflex5729 Год назад

My favorite sherry bomb(s). Kilkerran 8 Cask strength, Glengoyne Tea Pot Dram, and kind of cheating because it's not an official release but the Adelphi Ben Nevis 5 yo (this might be #1). Phil I'll be visiting family in NZ later this year, Auckland to Wellington and then to Queenstown. Any whisky destinations you'd recommend? Was thinking Cardrona while in Queenstown? Thanks in advance!!!

@FirstPhilWhisky Год назад

I wish I could get Kilkerren 8 here in NZ.😢. Fantastic. There isn't a lot. Cardrona is probably the best as destination. Waiheke whisky is great, but the distillery is still in the works. But you can try their whisky at the Heke on Waiheke island. It's a beautiful island with many vineyards too - if you're into wine.
