The king of the YouTube whisky reviewers is Ralfy, who, over the past ten years has managed to clock up nearly 800 video reviews of whiskies (and some other spirits), mainly from Scotland but also from around the world. The style is informal but he is refreshingly independent of the distillers and there is real commitment to explaining why he thinks a particular bottle is good, bad or indifferent.
If you want to know about a particular brand, then have a look at his past catalogue of reviews on his YouTube channel, ralfydotcom

Carmelite is only a 3-minute walk from Aberdeen transport hub (train & coach station, direct airport link & harbour), surrounded with the city’s retail centres and minutes from cultural and entertainment venues such as Tivoli Theatre, Maritime Museum, His Majesty’s Theatre, Civic quarter and many others. “
The story goes that the long main room of The Wild Boar, with its magnificent arched ceiling, used to belong to a painter and decorator whose apprentices would hone their skills on the elaborate cornicing. True or not, it’s certainly an impressive ceiling that adds a touch of class to this popular bar. Busy seven days a week, it’s the kind of place where it’s easy to settle down and get comfy with one of our 21 different gins or a bottle of Wine or Prosecco, whether it’s in the grand ground-floor room or the cosy downstairs space with its low lighting, cushioned couches and booth seating

“Aberdeen or New Aberdeen was established by the time of King David I (1124-1153). St Nicholas Kirk, or the Mither Kirk, is thought to originate from before 1157, and was one of the largest medieval burgh kirks in Scotland.
Alexander II established a Merchant Guild in 1222 which through successive enactments was created a powerful organisation whose influence was to shape the life and fabric of Aberdeen.Aberdeen developed around Castle Hill, St Katherine’s Hill and Gallowgate Hill. Castlegate was a commercial area from an early period.
Aberdeen Heritage Trust
Alexander I (1107-24) cited Aberdeen as one of 3 trading centres north of the Forth. By the end of the medieval period Aberdeen was one of the wealthiest burghs in Scotland.”
