Top 5 Whiskies of the Year 2022

A little word for thought .Jack Daniel's is not considered a Bourbon, For most whiskey lovers its more of a American whiskey because of the filtration they do to it . anyways love your content just a little hiccup at the end .

Great channel, very well presented. Loved the Lagavulin 11 charred oak, Laphroig 10 CS batch 13, Nikka Whisky from the Barrel, Octomore 13.1. I know some of these are old but I acquired or tasted them this year. Happy New Year!

Uhhh Tennessee whiskey is not bourbon. It’s it’s own category.

Congratulations on almost 1K in less than a year🎉

Try mixing 50/50 JD SB BP and Old Forester 1910.

Love your reviews and straight to the point Top 5. For me E.H. Taylor Single Barrel is my top choice every year. LOL. But set that aside, I really enjoyed the "Old Foresters 1897 Bottle in Bond". Happy New Year!

You're doing some good work here. Thanks for the channel.

Great list and I like the way you explained how you chose the winner in each category. One thing that puzzled me though: why do you pronounce Hibiki as if it were spelled Hibeki?

Just came across you channel. Fantastic choices all around. Hard to choose between the JD and Elijah Craig. Let's see some rye reviews as well.
And don't worry about being new at what you're doing. The more the merrier. As long as the info you provide is accurate and well presented.
The Japanese whisky you eliminated is pronounced "HIBIKI" not "HIBEKI". And the Bushmills 16 is triple distilled in sherry and ex-Bourbon casks, then it's finished in Port pipes.
Wishing you a Wonderful New Year. 🥃

Love the honesty, love the channel! Congrats on an awesome 8 months! Great list too! Looking forward to the new year! Happy New Year Peter!

Hibiki Harmony has smoke? No way. It’s been years and it was floral with a quick finish. Didn’t get much smoke. For me Westland can be harsh and young. If you’re it expecting it they can knock your palate.

For me I agree the Bourbon winner is JD SB BP. So easy to get. Great call with banana vs cherry. Also if you can get JD SB BP store picks you can get even more different flavors.

Bunna 12 is lovely!

Hi Peter! Like your style and this video. Happy new year and best of luck to you in 2023!

Fantastic. JDSBBF is my absolute favorite.

Can't wait for more reviews Peter! So glad I found your channel this year. Cheers!

Don’t be shocked or apologize…that Jack Daniel’s SBBP drinks like a $200 bottle. It is amazing.

Nice list.

I’m not sure how much variation is on the Jack Daniels sb bp but my bottle has a beautiful oak note on it as well

The last JDSBBP was so hot that not even an ice cube or water could tame it, and then it would get too diluted. But the nose was phenomenal.

Can not go wrong with JDSBBP. It's a great bourbon. Even with the Tennessee twist.

It's really hard to get a good sampling of all the different types of whisk(e)y. Just to add Peat and Rye as the obvious expansion makes things tough with 7 categories.
I really appreciate your effort with American Single Malts as not many folks are going there. Since you don't mind high proof, I would suggest cask strength Del Bac. They do have the capability to present as world class drams. Comparable to any young Scotch. The low proof American Single Malts seem to be hit or miss. But that's the journey.
Happy New Year

What lights are you using for your key and background?

Wow, the Hibiki eliminated for smokiness, well I never...But a Happy New Year! Best wishes for your 2023 tastings!

Cheers to 2023. Really enjoy what and how you showcase whiskies

Great list! Congrats on your success this year and best of luck for 2023! I’ve enjoyed your channel so much this year. If I were doing a top 5 list of channels for 2022, you’re definitely in it. You may consider yourself a beginner taster, but I think most of us would agree that there is nothing beginner about your channel! Appreciate your genuineness, honesty, production quality, delivery, and variety. Cheers!

OK, just upped the count to 999 subs. All the BEST!!

good channel! I hope you grow more

I like how you make your categories - thanks for this interesting review! I appreciate, as well, you straight forward and humble presentation.

Absolutely love Jack Daniel’s barrel proof and ECBP, especially the C922.

Newer subscriber and love your channel. Good luck as the subs grow. I have been focusing on Bourbon and love to see the various whiskeys you review. The only Elijah Craig BP I have are B522 and A123. Everyone seems to think that the C922 was the best, so I will keep looking. I bought a 375ml bottle of the JD SB BP and may need to get the 750ml.

As another neophyte to whiskey i've also found some bottles that I have to put aside for when my palate has matured and grown. Its an interesting phenomenon. It also makes me want to go back and try bottles I didn't like to see if that has changed.

Nope, still hate Willet Pot Still....

Your honesty and directness is so refreshing. Please don’t change that approach in your videos. It is so appreciated.
Even though I’m 10+ years in my whisky journey, I consider myself very much in the lower tier of intermediate level for various reasons.
In the words of Ron Burgundy, stay classy!

love it! but you stopped the enjoy your journey! just kidding you dont need a catch phrase....ive watched and am still watching loads of whiskey chanels...but yours are a refreshing change! i love the "americanised format" of having different segments on a weekly basis! i think you will do well. good luck and cheers

Hi Peter. What do you think of the Speyburn 15? I’m between that and the Glenallachie 15. I have no idea what to buy
