Скачать или смотреть Glenallachie Single Malt Sample Pack No-Notes Review (12yo, 15) + Macnair's Lum Reek (FIXED AUDIO)

Re-uploaded with more appropriate audio levels - that'll teach me to try to record, export, write up, and upload a video in the course of 90 minutes.

I had grand plans for taking notes on a whole bunch of different rums and cognacs today... but, well, the four-year-old got sick, which means I'm working my way through a tasting set no-notes style. And given my recent complaints about Glenallachie's price increases in my recent Knappogue Castle 14 review (see    • Knappogue Castle (Bushmills) "Twin Wood" 1...   ), it seemed like a good opportunity to work through the basic Glenallachie bottlings. I reviewed their 10yo Cask Strength three years ago (   • Glenallachie 10 Year Old Cask Strength (Ba...   ) and found it good if a bit difficult - how do the rest of the range and Billy Walker's peated blend fare? Stats:

Glenallachie 12 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky (bottled circa 2020; non-chillfiltered, natural color; 46% ABV), 83/100
Glenallachie 15 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky (bottled circa 2020; non-chillfiltered, natural color; 40% ABV), 80/100
Macnair's Lum Reek 12 Year Old Peated Blended Malt Scotch Whisky (bottled circa 2020; non-chillfiltered, natural color; 46% ABV), 83/100

Yeahhh I wouldn't necessarily run out to hunt down the remaining 12yo bottles out there if you were considering that. That being said, the 12yo is absolutely the best of this bunch: the Lum Reek is somewhat baffling and, more importantly, bested by any number of other peated malts out there, and 15yo is something I would recommend only for those looking for Balvenie alternatives.

Question of the Video: What would you do to salvage a failed day off?
