Roy’s 5 Whiskies Challenge 2024 | You can keep only 5 Whiskies x 2 : Scotch & World Whiskies

QUICK TIMING : 0:00 Intro & my rules for the Challenge / 5:05 Challenge categories / 6:39 1st version: Scotch whiskies only / 25:00 2nd version : World whiskies only

I was watching recently Roy’s LIVE show in his AQVAVITAE Youtube channel with guests on the famous theme called « YOU CAN ONLY KEEP 5 WHISKIES Challenge », with here a bit different categories than the one I did before in my channel (hence Andrew’s challenge from Prestige Liquids WW Youtube channel-link below after the presentation). I was wondering about doing an update of my video & played the game a bit doing some suggestions in Roy’s chat (one being immediately approved by Menno & everyone saw it), but the choice was tough, so I had to think longer about this. Also, as Roy’s challenge was about Scotch whiskies only (even if some guests went beyond that), I considered why not play the game for a first selection with Scotches & then suggest a second one which would be devoted only to World whiskies ? So here it is, with a triple challenge for me, the third one being not picking whiskies I did choose for the previous (Andrew’s) challenge video…And on top of that, I couldn’t help myself picking several runners-up (in total 25 whiskies are mentioned here) & I am tasting there quickly a very rare whisky. I hope you’ll find it interesting.

Disclaimer/Rules : The choice was tough, but, as I don’t do editing & had to try the whiskies several times, it had to contain only bottles of whiskies from my collection, not samples. It means also that I can’t take responsability of viewers possible disappointments if the batches of the whiskies they can find after having watched my video are not as good as mine. I hope you understand it. Also, in order not to give away too much before you watch the video, bottles details will be available through their Whisky Base sheet, when they do exist (hence the number under the category) or one that is close to my bottle.
