10 Wish list Whiskies to Buy Right Now
updated
Looking for the best smoky Scotch? In this video I count down my Top 10 Smoky Whiskies – my ultimate list of peated drams for lovers of rich, smoky flavours. From Islay icons to underrated gems, I explore a range of bottles that go beyond the usual Ardbeg 10, Lagavulin 16, Laphroaig 10 and Ledaig 10.
Expect big hitters alongside unique pick, indie bottlings, and limited releases that deliver huge smoke and value.
I also asked my Patreon “Bottle Slappers” for their favourite smoky whiskies, so you’ll hear community recommendations ranging from Caol Ila to Ledaig 18 and beyond. Whether you’re after heavily peated powerhouses, sherry-smoked drams, or balanced coastal smoke, this list has something for every peat lover.
Covering price points, availability, and why these whiskies made the cut – plus a few honourable mentions that just missed out. If you enjoy peated Scotch, this video is packed with recommendations to expand your smoky whisky shelf.

Working through Glenmorangie's rebrand to Jura’s full packaging refresh and Highland Park’s tricky range shuffle.

Ardnahoe joined smoky legends like Laphroaig, Lagavulin, and Ardbeg in 2018. Backed by the Laing family they promised tradition, peat smoke, and quality spirit.
So in this video, I explore Ardnahoe’s journey from its first cask, to its inaugural release in 2024, and a full review of the Aqvavitae Ardnahoe, a Small Batch 6 Year Old. At 55% ABV, non-chill filtered and full of bourbon-cask character.
A review of this latest Ardnahoe covering the nose, palate, and score. Comparing it with Islay icons like Laphroaig Cask Strength and Talisker Special releases and has got me asking is Ardnahoe the future of Islay whisky and the best new distillery? Or do contenders like Lochlea, Raasay, and Torabhaig steal the spotlight?

The UK heatwave might have most whisky drinkers reaching for light, fruity drams... but not here!
Powering through the summer sun to share my Whisky of the Summer. From smoky Campbeltown goodness with the Longrow 100 Proof, to fruit-filled delights like the Lochlea Harvest Edition Third Crop, it’s been an incredible season of whisky. But one bottle stands above the rest. Clean, crisp, and beautifully balanced, this Eastern Highlands single malt proves that sometimes the simplest whiskies are the most rewarding.
Providing tasting notes in this Glencadam 10 review, sharing why it has become a shelf staple and why its value at under £40/$45 makes it a must buy.

Lochlea has announced the launch of its new "Single Estate" core range of single malts — a permanent collection designed to highlight the distillery’s focus on quality, provenance, and character. Each whisky in the range is produced from Lochlea’s own barley and is distilled and matured entirely on-site in Ayrshire, Scotland.
Replacing the seasonal releases, the new core range is intended to provide a consistent and distinctive release throughout the year. This addition will sit alongside Our Barley, giving Lochlea a core range of four single malts.
The whiskies will be available from Thursday, 4 September 2025.

From historic roots and the story of Nathan “Nearest” Green, to the bottle’s unmistakable design and Lincoln County Process, we break down what makes Jack Daniels. Whether you drink it neat, with Coke, or on a t-shirt, it’s time to ask: does Jack Daniel’s actually taste any good?
Join me, as I nose, sip, and score this whiskey juggernaut from a Scotch lover’s perspective, covering everything from Tennessee whiskey vs bourbon, to the flavours and if it should be drunk neat. Plus, we look at its value for money, why it goes down so easy, and how it stacks up against other drams.

In this video, I explore why I respect Springbank, but don't worship it. I break down the mythos, the scarcity frenzy, and the actual flavour of Springbank 10 compared to similarly aged Scotch whiskies like Ledaig 10, Arran 10, Ben Nevis 10, and Ardbeg 10. We’ll talk marketing (or lack of), the indie band aura Springbank carries, and whether its legendary status is driven more by rarity than taste.
It’s not a hit piece it’s an honest take on one of Scotland’s most iconic and elusive single malts. Grab a dram, join me.

In this third and final instalment of my whisky economics trilogy, I break down what’s really happening in the world of whisky in 2025. From Diageo’s record low share prices and Lagavulin deals at over 50% off, to Pernod Ricard and LVMH announcing global job cuts, we’re seeing Whisky Loch Part 2 unfold in real time.
Whether you’re a whisky collector or a passionate dram drinker, this video explains how the market boom of the 2010s turned into a bust and what that means for your favourite bottles and distilleries today.
Join me, as we unravel how economic pressures, oversupply, and failed whisky cask investments have shaken the foundations of the whisky industry. But it’s not all doom and gloom: whisky lovers could benefit from better value, fading FOMO, and a possible return to quality over hype.
With rare bottles now sitting on shelves and auctions cooling down, it might just be the start of a new golden age for actual drinkers. Grab a dram, subscribe, and dive into the state of the whisky world with sources, sass, and a few shirt-and-shades moments along the way.

In this video, I dive into the infamous Loch Dhu 10 Year Old, often dubbed "The Worst Whisky Ever Made." This cult classic, known as the "Black Whisky," is infamous not only for its overwhelmingly bitter taste but also for its excessive use of E150a spirit caramel colouring, sparking a deeper conversation around the use of artificial colour in whisky.
Exploring why distilleries still use caramel colouring, the impact it has on whisky’s appearance, perception, and even taste, and compares Loch Dhu to a naturally presented Mannochmore. If you're curious about whisky transparency, marketing tricks, and experiencing whisky so bad it became legendary... this one’s for you.
A huge thank you to my paterons and channel members!

In this video, we dives into the rapid rise of English whisky and whether it’s shaking up the global whisky scene. From the cult success of Japanese whisky and the growth of Bourbon and Irish whiskey, the landscape is evolving fast and English whisky is currently doing a good job of elbowing into the spotlight.
We explore pioneering distilleries like The English Whisky Co, Cotswolds Distillery, Bimber, and White Peak, along with up-and-comers like Retribution Distillery and Spirit of Birmingham.
But not all English whiskies are hits, some have flopped while others are still finding their footing in this growing landscape. So let's break down the highlights, the history, and the English single malt drama.
Whether you're a die hard Scotch fan or a curious whisky nerd, this is your guide to the fast-growing world of English whisky. Join me and let’s crack on!

Sadly there is a couple dips in video quality in this one, Adobe Premiere Pro failed me at the very end so took some drastic side steps to get it out.
Video Summary:
Today I am covering my take on Diageo, the drinks industry titan behind iconic brands like Johnnie Walker, Crown Royal, Guinness, Talisker, Lagavulin, Smirnoff, and Bulleit. Facing turbulent times as shifting consumer habits, economic pressures, and strategic missteps begin to take their toll. Once untouchable with over 200 brands across whisky, beer, and spirits, Diageo is now grappling with an 8-year stock low, declining Scotch sales (particularly in Latin America and the US), distillery closures, and production pauses. Rising prices, aggressive premiumisation, and a generational decline in alcohol consumption have alienated both budget-conscious casual drinkers and die-hard whisky enthusiasts alike. Long-loved bottles like Lagavulin 16 and Talisker 10 have soared in price, while shelves fill with unsold premium releases, damaging brand loyalty and reputation. Yet, Diageo isn’t down for the count — with initiatives like the Johnnie Walker Experience in Edinburgh and a push toward cocktail culture and younger drinkers, the drinks giant is clearly pivoting for survival, but whether it can fully adapt remains the big question hanging over the bar.

Summary:
From the bold and spicy Mellow Corn to the unpretentious brilliance of Wild Turkey 101, I’m diving into bottles that deliver great taste, value, and conversation. I’ll highlight the quirky Thompson Bros Highland Blend 8yo, the community-driven Wee Broon Electric Coo, and the rich, crowd-pleasing Knob Creek. Compass Box Orchard House and the peaty, PX-packed Boutiquey Millstone 4yo also make the cut, proving that whisky can be both serious and playful. Wrapping up with the Aquavatie Loch Lomond 10yo, I’m celebrating the incredible whisky community that makes this journey special. Packed with whisky reviews, tasting notes, and a genuine love for the dram, this is all about great bottles and good times.

In this video, I'm explores the best value Scotch whiskies amidst rising prices, creating a top 5 that delivers exceptional quality for the cost. Key picks include Cutty Sark Prohibition, a high-proof blended whisky with a rich toffee and chocolate profile at an unbeatable price. The Thompson Bros North Highland 8yo showcases the strength of blended malts with waxy Clynelish character. Moving into peated territory, Ledaig Rioja Cask Finish offers a smoky, fruity profile, while the iconic Ardbeg 10 delivers Islay’s signature tar and peat at a reasonable price. Finally, for an aged statement, Deanston 18 impresses with its smooth, honeyed depth, often available on deep discounts. The bottle slap club adds further recommendations, including Kilkerran 12, Benromach 10, and Bunnahabhain 12, which will help you buy your next great value Scotch Single Malt or Blend.

This speedy Scotch review covers the hybrid or Lochlea Local Barley and Overtone Stout into an awesome whisky which gives my Whiskey of the Year 2024 a run for it's money.
Full transparency, this sample came from the Lochlea team but under no agreement for a review or anything, fully my daft whisky thoughts and tasting notes.

So Highland Park have been teasing and announced their rebrand today after a few folks have seen them already on shelves and reddit and it certainly was not what I was expecting!
Now please note, while design and branding is my career and I have been working in this industry for nearly 15 years now, I am not an expert and this is only my opinion from only seeing the marketing materials.

While a bit of whisky fun, I feel this is more suitable to people starting their whisky journey and to help get a discussion going around the struggle of trying to find the tasting notes of a whisky. So after watching the famous video "how to taste whisky like a sir" I wanted to give my light hearted whisky thoughts.
