"I don't have enough liver..." we can relate to that.

I’m a big fan of Balblair too. I have 6 bottles of the 1999 that I’m hoping will see me to my grave. My wife and I adore the 1990 but we only have one and a half bottles left. I am also drinking my precious 1969 bottle very slowly - that was a 50th birthday present as it is my birth year.  Good luck in getting through all your unopened bottles - it may take a while. 😀
Another of my distillery interests is Wolfburn as I travel up there most summers. If you can get a peated or Sherry cask expression it may add to your whisky journey.

Wonderful collection!
It's great to see you doing videos again!

I know a French sommelier who has had an impressive career; he worked in great restaurants in Switzerland, he has an impressive book collection on wine and collects rare bottles. It's so interesting to talk to someone like him, he knows so much about his line of work.
I once asked him about the influence of light/UVs on wine and he replied that any influence is generally barely noticeable when it does happen. I wouldn't be surprised if the same is true about whisky; although, the longer whisky stays in a barrel, the more tannins it will have (which, in wine and whisky, tend to be the molecules that are influenced the most by UVs), so maybe an older whisky could be influenced more by light.
I also talked to a bottle-shop employee who is specialised in rum and whisky and he isn't too worried about UVs either.
I'm no expert and I'm not denying the effects of UVs on whisky, I would never recommend to leave a bottle in direct sunlight, but it would be interesting to have concrete scientific data on the matter.

Amazing collection and great video as always! I would say unpeated ex-bourbon cask whiskies are a bit of a blind spot in the collection. There are a couple, but examining a whisky in a naked cask with just time and being left alone without any finishes is a great whisky geekout!

Thought I have too much whisky in the cabinet...
... it appears I have a long way to go.
Great collection, Ben. Thanks for sharing .

Nice collection Ben. Clearly been on the bottle hunt during your year or so hiatus. I rather enjoyed the sample of the 21yo Fettercairn you kindly donated in the advent calendar. Lovely to see the Kilchoman Port cask matured. I recently had the 2011-2014 version. Absolutely blew me away. Still can’t believe it was three years old. I thought it was an old skool Bowmore 18yo or something of that ilk. I think you’ve pretty much got Scotch Single Malt covered. I would perhaps take a look at some American whisky. Certainly my favourite category after scotch. MB Roland is one to look for. Stunning characterful bourbon from Kentucky. Super star of the future for sure. 😉

Slainte 🥃

The King is back :)

I'm a complete newbie and I will never have a collection like that but even I noticed there was no Glenmorangie there. Also there is another distillery on Skye you missed . Torrabeagh. There is also another new one on Islay whose name eludes me to missed. Really interesting video although I don't think your collections value will come close to an American collector whose collection was on a video I watched recently and was worth something in the millions of dollars. Very enjoyable video.

Plastic video my friend. As a whiskey lover and reviewer I really enjoyed this. Cheers!

One whisky UK vbloggers never seem to review is Sweden's Mackmyra  , one of the most innovative distillers out there. Their Brukswhisky and Bjorksav would put a lot of Scottish distillates to shame.

That's an amazing collection Ben. You definitely need more English whisky plus maybe some Scandinavian. With so many unopened bottles, I genuinely worry that by the time you get around to review some of them, they'll no longer be available to buy.

Great video, I’m always fascinated to see and hear about whisky collections.

That’s one heck of a collection you’ve got there. Enjoy 👍🏻

Very impressive! I see this and realize how much I have to learn about Scotch!

An excellent and informative video. Many thanks for sharing this collection, which I found helpful and entertaining. Grazie 🙏 ciao , SF
Ps: what whisky are you missing? Seeing as you live in England maybe a Filey Bay, or perhaps another Lowland, I enjoy the Bladnoch 10 . But I would say you have plenty excellent choices. Thanks again. Ciao 👋

Amazing collection. I hope to taste at list a half of that.

I remember watching you when you were just started out, wow. Big cabinet right there!

waiting for your next super collection video :)

Yeah Ben, I think you can stop buying for a bit😁  Appreciate that you have more than a few "entry level" bottles in your collection which tells me you're serious about trying the whole range.  I wish I had that patience.
