We plan to set up a new index which shall represent the most outstanding single malts on the market. This index will be called the “Whiskystats Fabulo… Read the full Article at: Call for the Fabulous Fifty
Yoichi 20, Talisker 35, Laphroaig 30 (old version) are quite iconic ones in my eyes. The Laphroaig 30 year old at least should definitely be in the top 50. I’ll try to think of some more.
We added the Laphroaig 30yo, the Talisker 35yo and the Dalmore Cabernet Sauvignon. Thanks!
@Boissettes did you meant the Yoichi 20yo (52%) or one of the many single casks?
I would put the standard Yoichi 20yo in there. My thinking is that it is the best “standard” bottle to represent that distillery. Springbank 1966 is another classic worth including I think, obviously there are quite a few versions to choose from, so maybe put in the one that is most traded at auctions?
We added the Laphroaig 40yo (1960), the Lagavulin 37yo (1976), the Octomore Orpheus, the Highland Park Hjarta, the Ladyburn 27yo (1973), the Yoichi 20yo and the Springbank 30yo 1966 Local Barley. Thanks!
@hotrene there seem to be a lot of Balvenie 25yo with 46.9. Considering the number of trades the Single Barrel 4001 would be an option.
Glenmorangie 28yo (1975) Tain L Hermitage, Glenmorangie 19yo (1987) Margaux Cask, Balvenie 25yo (1978) Single Barrel 4001 and Glenlivet 25yo Royal Wedding Reserve are now part of the Fab50.
Looks like we already have a nice diversification. There are only three spots left.
We now stand at 50 nominees. Feel free to further comment the nominees, potential substitutions and the like. We will set-up the Fab50 index in a couple of days.
Nice! Great app by the way, can”t believe that I somehow managed to miss it until a couple of months ago.
Will certainly help me growing my little Islay collection 🙂
