Ralfy, I love this one: "I'm gonna have to do that ... [sip sip] .. for the sake of research."
I knew it right from the start: whisky tasting is just an act of altruism in the name of science!
If governments could be convinced of that, maybe they'd stop taxing whisky like crazy. :-)

I just bought a bottle of the Talisker 10 year old in Phnom Penh at a little Chinese-run bottle shop. It was $25 US. Cheaper than Duty Free at airports, I wager. Looking forward to trying it when I get back to Vancouver (where it's $75 CAD.) I also bought the Laphroaig 10 year at a convenience store in Cambodia for $24 US ($85 in Vancouver.)

ralfy, ive been a whisky drinker for a couple of years, and find your videos informative, But one thing confuses me.
IF a whisky is 46%, its non-chill filtered, BUT if its as high as 45.8% its been chill filtered?

at 46%, the 'scotch mist' of non-chillfiltering tends to not be visible ( and supposedly off-putting) ... so bottling at 46% removed the apparent need for chill-filtration.
Whisky tastes better with out chillfiltration. Try it and see !

Hey Ralfy, I really enjoyed The Glenlivet Nadurra. I tried it due to your review giving it 87/100. Two quick questions? Is there a big or little difference between the 10 year old Talisker and the 12 year old? What is the highest grade number you have given a whiskey in your reviews? Thanks and Sláinte.
