I could watch Brian Cox drink whiskey forever.
I could drink Brian Cox Whisky forever, Watch...
Here here!!!
I'm trying to find a bio on him, but can only find references to the physicist.
He didn’t drink any whiskey, it was whisky.
Agmemnon!!!! He is awesome!
Imagine being in a room with Brain Cox and Ron Swanson drinking whiskey.
My god yes
They don’t drink whiskey, they drink whisky. But yeah, that’d be pretty good.
The conversation would be just a couple of words said for entire evening. And some occasional "oooohhh...." and "mmmm" in the very beginning.
Watching their ancestors reemerging...
@@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney Yeah none of that bourbon rubbish here.
I could listen to brian cox narrate a bowel movement and I'd be fully enthralled
Catch his Narration on Roman and Greek history!
Did they take that video down already? Damn TH-cam censorship
Thank you Brian Cox, for all of your work. Each time I watch your performances, my admiration for your abilities grows more. A wonderful actor, a. An of character, passion and class. Bravo sir!
I just had to watch this at 8 in the morning.
At least I know what to do with my day now.
I hope that day was pleasant.
@@squiremuldoon5462 I honestly don't remember it. So I'm sure it was :)
@@SpacemanXC Then it must have been epic, glad you are still amongst us, cheers!
Sir Brian Cox is one of my inspirations. I love his reaction to the Cox Blend.
I went to the Dewar's distillery on a school trip to Scotland almost seven years ago. It was the best part of the whole trip and we had a fantastic tour of the distillery. The people working there are awesome at what they are doing and you could really see how passionate they are when it comes to scotch.
Laphroaig quarter cask is by far my favorite. Im a big peat fan. Highly recommend 👌
A peculiar gentleman some might wonder. A very pleasure inducing watch indeed. Thank you great Sire Cox.
I wish they would release the DVD of this series.
"When I drink whiskey I drink whiskey. And when I drink water I drink water."
My mother's maiden name is Dewar. If I ever travel to Scotland, the Dewar's Distillery is my number one most important stop.
Brian Cox could drink a single malt with me any time 🥃
Asking Brian Cox about directions in London would be an epic experience... Legend!
What an awesome job. Getting to host a show where you get to try the best of all the best stuff.
old scottish men who smoke cigars and drink whisky just make me imagine what my grandad "puff" was like, we called him that because he used smoke 2 cigars a day, he passed when I was 3 back when second hand smoke was an issue known but wasn't avoided in homes in scotland, I've probably had the equivalent of 2 cigars just being to see him as a baby, he hid his lung cancer in the end and just wanted the last moments of his life to be happy but I remember his face at least and his deep glasweigian voice
Brian Cox is the bomb! I hope he doesn't get Richard Sharpe killed drinking whiskey.
Hannibal Lector analyses whiskey.
I love it!
also Lionel Starkweather
I actually love cask strength (55%-75% alcohol) and is mostly what I sip now, neat.
You really get alot more flavor that way and I like the burn (I also like spicy food too,) People keep recommending that I water it down to mellow it out and they dont understand at all what I like about it.
its called CASK strength
I like my gasoline slightly sweet and smokey.
I love Scottish culture. One of Europe’s true gems 💎
Needs more Stephanie McCloud talking about whisky
God I love Uncle Argyle
I love this British rip torn show
He looked at that glass like the devil was gonna leap out. Must taste like rocket fuel.
No it does not
It was cask strength so it was probably 50-55%. At that proof the alcohol is leaping straight out and attacking you if you're not ready for it.
It tastes fantastic it's just strong. I drink 90 - 125 proof all the time, it's fine.
STRYKERRR!!!!!!!!!
Brian Cox made a very underrated Hannibal Lector!
Dewars was the first scotch I ever had it was a good.
Whiskey galore
I'm hungover from a long weekend,
yet I'm watching this. Help.
Same been in bed all day dying
@@jayscraggs405 get well.
Yum. Whisky.
The Irish may have invented Whisky, but the Scottish perfected it.
That whiskey Brian is called blow your socks off ha ha .
HECTORRRRRR
Single malt all the way.
Is that Agamemnon?
She put so much water in his whisky I had to sit in the tub just to watch him drink it.
Like she said, it was cask strength. The Scotch you'd buy in the shops is normally 40% ABV, cask strength is anywhere from 52-66%.
@@Dafmeister1978 Well aware, that was still a lot of water. Any time I've seen someone pour that much water in whisky it's typically been followed by an expletive lol
@@Dafmeister1978 You need to add 20% water to bring it down from 60% to 40%. A teaspoonful or 2 is usually enough.
I believe in a blenders standpoint it is a practice to produce a mixture of scotch and water at a 2:1 ratio when blending to dilute the alcohol and allow other molecules that contributes to the flavor easier to escape the water body.
Ye were a fine Rob Roy Brian.
Sir Brian Cox would have remarked:I wonder if hear 100 bagpipers play in my head or a 1000.
I hope i can marry a scottish lass to give me a reason to adopt the Scottish culture!!!!
Brian Cox isn't American? He's really good at putting on an American accent in his movies.
.015 percent of the people disliked this. Wonder what those people are like? Lol

Elementary my darling
If cannabis and liquor had a War between which produces more Brands(strain's,flavors,etc)..who'd you think would win?
Cannabis
As much as i prefer cannabis, really high quality spirits have super complex flavors. Even really high quality legal cannabis doesn’t have the complexity of flavor.
@@stonetacular5651 Mmm, i dunno man. Have you tried every strain to come to that conclusion? We don’t blend the finished cannabis at end with other cannabis to make new flavours. Its bred in so kinda different. Curing jars are the barrels.

Hail helghan
Mix it again with coca cola! Itll blow your mind
I likes me Irish.
An awful lot of commenters can't spell "whisky".
And, by the way, my tipple is Laphroaig 10 year followed by their Quarter Cask. Straight. No water.
Why would she put that much water in that glass ? Whisky is always better uncut straight from the Barrel at cask strength and unfiltered in my opinion. Dewar's is pretty much trashy sewer water anyway.
He was great as Hannibal Lecktor.
RIP Brian Cox, one of the true greats
He’s not dead..... what are you talking about?
Well.... the Scotch Whisky.... it didn't got into Romanians fields.... LOL....
Haha just moonshine made from rotten plums.
wait, the actor cox ? lmao
WHERE IS Achilles
All i need is a fat cup of whiskey water, a pack of cigarettes and the EPL all day and im happy
i as alcoholic seeing people make faces when they drink spirits is funny
When my shit turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbet!

The entire thing used to be on TH-cam ... kind of disappointed
Pierwszy kom.!
It’s pronounced “Lang-greesh”!
I was cured of drinking alcohol by vomiting jack daniels, thanks Jack!
There are better blended whiskeys, no doubt, than my favorite, but after years of experimenting with dozens of single malt whiskeys, I prefer Chivas Regal.
I think the blended ones are more easy to deal with than single malts can be abit harsh. I've also had chivas regal and it does have an incredible smoothness to it.

Ah but what can beat a good American rye? Nothing.
🤢
Red Brest 12 hands down.
Lot 40 (Canadian) rye says hello.
L to the OG
Why was the big man dying his hair back then. Looks awful
I may have drunk whicskey once or twice but never really liked it.
Whisky is like a British weather...bogshite. STAY HOME DRINK VODKA SAFTE THE NHS
It's just alcohol with colour. You got alcoholism all wrong.
Pff Irish is better
Blend whiskey is not... real whiskey...
Two words: Compass Box
@@elixwhitetail Which one would you recommend? You better not be right or I'll be embarrassed :D
@@TheParallellinial So, that's a bit of a difficult question for me to answer for a few reasons. One, I've never personally had any of them in my fairly recent whisky-enjoying career, and two, I live in a province with state-controlled distribution so my accessibility to Compass Box bottles is questionable at best even if I had the cash to splash and the years of drinking behind me to do it in. However, opinions of people I trust rate Compass Box blends highly as a general standard, because it's not your nan's Johnnie Walker Red Label and neither is it priced like it. Most cheap, bad Scotch is blended Scotch, but not all blended Scotch is cheap and bad and Compass Box's higher-tier offerings are a prime example of the good stuff.
If you like peated Scotches and Islay in particular, you probably would not do badly with a bottle of Peat Monster if you can get your hands on one. There've been special editions and older recipes but the current expression is 46%, non-chill filtered, natural colour. For something less peat-centric, the Highlands-focused Spice Tree is apparently amazing. The base is 60% Clynelish, 20% Dailuaine, and 20% Teaninich and it's aged in custom barrels with American oak staves and new French oak heads. I don't know your flavour preferences or wallet, but Compass Box has a number of expressions blended for quality instead of a quick buck. A less-upscale but decent blend of theirs is the Artists' Blend.
In a completely different direction, Hibiki Harmony from Suntory is a very frequent example of a good whisky and a good blend from Japan. Under the new Japanese industry rules Hibiki *IS* real Japanese whisky, so you won't be paying a big premium for shabby Scotch imports if you buy a bottle, it's genuinely made in Japan according to Beam-Suntory.
Disgusting drink
