      A little trick that I've seen on a couple other ~20 min vids is to put witty banter while running their end card so that people stay to hear it while looking at your related links. I haven't found any research that's been done, but it probably increases click-rate and retention time. 19:12-19:25 would've been a great opportunity to include some funny banter from after filming when you were just chilling. Just my two cents, personally I watch all your vids anyway :P

    As someone who has been drinking whisky for years now, this video pretty much condenses all the most important ideas and thoughts I've learned on how to enjoy whisky into one video. Great stuff.
    For extra nerd points, start a whisky journal and write tasting notes on everything you drink. Super helpful when you're trying to remember "that one awesome whisky you had that time that tasted like pork crackling".

    I've been drinking whisky occasionally for years, but never really thinking about it this much. Always simply "this is a 12 year, it'll be different, also expensive-er". Now suddenly I want to go back to all the whiskies I've had and try it again.
    The best part is how "human" this sounds, easy to understand, but with hard science explained well. It sounds like how my friends would explain things to me.

      If I can make some recommendations to ya my friend:
      Monkey Shoulder Blended Scotch. Affordable, amazing, and a very sweet blended scotch.
      Highland Park Magnus. Another affordable, but still, very kickass single malt scotch. Smokey, without being overpowering.
      Jameson. A classic of Irish whiskies.
      Maker's Mark. Just a straight down home plate, simple bourbon.
      Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt Whisky. The Japanese here have made a real kickass whisky that I'd be proud to drink. Sweet, fruity, and damn delicious.
      And of course, good ol' Jack Daniels Old No. 7. A staple, and an American classic.
      For an expensive scotch, Ardbeg 20 year Single Malt Scotch. Aggressive and refined. Best to save this one for a very special occasion, lol.
      Good luck on your reignited whiskey journey my friend!

    It was many years ago, But every Christmas since, I've had a bottle of it. It has been enjoyed time and time again as the 1st. I remember each time us looking at each other as if to comprehend "what the hell is this, Why is this the 1st time we've found this amazing drop !?" It was an epiphany. Incredible.
    We've both had many since, But we both concur, None was finer than that first sip of Lagavulin.

    The bit about smell being influenced by your brain reminded me of a session in Culinary School, where a woman from the Culinary Science department at NECI came in and provided us with clear plastic cups with totally clear water in them. She told us to first smell them, and all we could smell was incredibly strong lemonade. Almost like pure sugary lemon concentrate. Then she told us to drink it with our nose plugged. There was no flavor whatsoever. It was just water. Then we tasted it without our nose plugged, and it was like drinking lemonade. It was essentially a consomme of lemon water. It was incredible.

    Watching this episode I had tears in my eyes, right as Daniel said "that's ridiculous", because I never had the chance to taste a whisk(e)y with my grandfather - which taste of whisk(e)y I've seemed to inherit. Thanks for this video guys

    I would love to see the pipe episode you guys hinted at. I smoke a pipe regularly and would love to see you guys dive into to the history and etiquette of the dying tradition, and hopefully educate viewers on a classy, old fashion, and arguably better way to enjoy the subtle yet expansive medium to enjoy tobacco. Love your content, keep it up!

      Well, you can still understand it as a wide-undertandeble appproach or metaphor to two different kinds of sensory perception - one which is detailed and analytical, and other that's integrative and wobbly. Yeah, it's not scientific at all in modern perspective, but most people still could have a very good idea of different perception modes through this.

    Here I am a few weeks later drinking a Lagavulin 16 with a side of water feeling more interested in looking up where my drink was made and how instead of just downing it. Furthermore inevitably finding every definition of fortified wine and other terms that pop up I've never understood. This is a rabbit hole. To my pleasurable surprise, I notice Ron Swanson from Parks and Rec drinking this. Bonus!

    I have found also that your environment and the ambient air also makes a big difference in how the whiskey smells/tastes. Next time you're enjoying your favorite whiskey at your house, have some inside, then step outside and have some and notice how it changes.
