Yes! My first whisky purchase upon turning 21 was a Glenmorangie sample pack. Being from Missouri and hearing that Glenmorangie owned an Oak forest in the Ozarks was exciting to say the least. Both the Quinta Ruban and the LaSanta were in there, as well as the Nectar D’or and the Original 10 Year Old. I kept the four little bottles to commemorate my rite-of-passage into the whisky kingdom (The Whiskingdom, if you will). Loved hearing your take on them.
The Quinta Ruban was my favorite, non peaty, whisky for a long time. They replaced it with a 14 year expression. Really hoping it holds up... Also really hope you guys do the 14 year!
drinking angrily in the pale moonlight with the devil himself and then I saw this opening. Changed my mood instantly. Thanks for the touch of humor guys.

@Cristian Johan thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

Since seeing you on Modern Rogue and finding your channel I have watched most of your videos, and as a result have started to get into whisky. I have recently turned 21 and have started going to bars and trying different kinds, but the first bottle Ive bought for myself was Johnnie Walker Green Label. If you guys could review Green Label so I have something to compare to that would be amazing. Especially since I have nobody to mooch off of. Love the channel!
I'm also a younger viewer (old enough to drink legaly in the Netherlands though) and relatively new to the world of scotch. I would recommend the following Beginner: Cardhu 12 A friendly introduction, to be honest I haven't had it but I read up on it and a friend likes it a lot. Mellow with caramel notes. Intermediate: Benromach 10 An alternative Speyside style. It is peat smoked and finished in sherry casks. Fruity yet dry and peaty. Laproaig and Lagavulin are sweeter but have more smoke which can be overwhelming. Advanced: Bruichladdich Classic Laddie A more aggressive yet very intersting whisky, bottled at 50% abv. Salty with stone fruit notes. Something fun about this one is that you can find exactly which casks are used by looking up the reference number on their website. Personally I got pulled into liking whisky by trying Lagavulin 16 at the bar I work at. I Tried a small nip after closing hours and I liked the lingering sweet peat taste a lot. That one sip ended up costing me a lot of money in the long run though, but also a great hobby! Reddit is also a great source for beginner advice.
Great episode guys. Love the idea of adding the cameo tastings to the titles. It will make searching so much easier and I won't have to go down the path of putting together a spreadsheet to remember where the additional whiskies show up! (thought you might like that Rex) Happy Memorial Day!
Just got a bottle of the 14 year Quinta this week and decided to open it after getting home from working a 13 hour day. I have trouble picking out different flavor notes on the nose but just hearing the mint chocolate made it jump out. Thanks for the help!
Scotch, Introduction: Glenlivet 12 Intermediate: Highland Park 12 Advanced: Talisker Distiller's edition. Bourbon Introduction: Jim Beam Black, Intermediate: Wild Turkey 101, Advanced: Four Roses SB. Irish Intro: Power's Inter: Red Breast Advanced: Green Spot.
I like your Scotch introduction! I'd like to add some alternatives (but similar) for people who might not find those in their area, or might get better prices for others. Beginner: Glenmorangie Original, Glenfiddich 12 Intermediate: Aberlour 12, Deanston 12, Clynelish 14 Advanced: Lagavulin 16
@@harrr53 Not sure about this. Lagavulin is quintessentially peaty. If you're not a fan of peaty (Islay) whiskey, this one wouldn't be for you. I would suggest 18 year old whiskeys of speyside whiskeys like glenmorangie etc.
I have very little experience with port cask scotches. The Quinta Ruben and the balvenie 21 year port cask. Both very different in my opinion. The Quinta urban was good, but the balvenie was ridiculous. Would love to see you guys review that. It’s a $300 ish bottle here in Washington, so I have yet to own it 😢
The beginner whisky I would recommend would definitely be Glenfiddich 12. It is affordable, widely available and a very friendly whisky to get anyone into whisky.
You guys should do the updated line. This is now the 14 year and the 12 is the sherry. I really enjoy the 12 so I’m looking for recommendations based off of that but not coming up with much.
Question for the audience was: "Very First Whisky?" Start with a blend. A Canadian Whisky blend makes most sense. Suggestion for first to try is Crown Royal, but my own first whisky bottle purchase was Canadian Club. Probably more people will agree with the Crown Royal choice as the first purchase because it's more flavorful. I'd say start with an ounce or so of the Crown Royal (in a tumbler, to start), add the same amount of water (a 50/50 mix of whisky and water), and then add ice. Later you can cut down on the added water, eventually sipping the whisky neat out of a Glencairn just like all of the videos seen here. (With each 35 ml pour I add one teaspoon of water in just about any whisky because that small amount of water unlocks all kinds of extra flavors from the whisky. For each fresh pout you start by swirling the glencairn a bit and taking in the aroma, then always taste a tiny tiny amount Neat, then add a teaspoon of water and repeat the process. You can let the whisky sit a bit to air out for a few minutes, and then always take your time and sip a small amount and enjoy the flavor. A 35 ml pour might last 10 to 15 minutes or longer.) For your first scotch, definitely start by buying and trying a couple of Scotch blends. First taste Grant's Select Reserve. It is the least expensive decent quality (in my opinion) Scotch Blend. [A few years ago my first Scotch purchases, made with the help of an experienced Scotch drinker included a bottle of Grant's Select Reserve for about $11. which is a fantastic bargain. Today I see the bottle for about $14.] I recommend you buy a bottle of Dewers White Label, and try it first with the 50/50 Dewars and water over ice (that's the first scotch I tried, and I thought it was good). The Grants is better for an intro to Scotch because it has a lighter Speyside style taste, in other words no negatives. The Dewars has an interesting hint of iodine type taste that comes from one of the Single Malts that were used in coming up with the blend. The Dewars has just a slight hint of the contributions from peat. The primary single malt contributor in the Dewars is Aberfeldy. For your first Bourbon purchase (an American Whisky that is not a blend) I recommend Jim Beam Black. The 'black' comes from charred barrels. The slight charred barrel taste helps to 'erase' or cover over any harshness in the bourbon. Eventually try Maker's Mark. I didn't like Maker's Mark at first because i got some bitterness or overly spicy 'zing' on the tongue that comes from the wood of the barrels used for aging. After you'be been sampling whisky for a year or more you may come to like the woody taste, and at that time Maker's Mark may actually taste like a mild bourbon (it's a 'wheated' bourbon). For your first Single Malt purchase I recommend the Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban, the main focus of this whisky review. This is a 'yummy' Single Malt Scotch and this probably works best for a beginner. Two other great choices for first Single Malt Scotch include The Glenlivet 12 year old, and the Glenfiddich 12 year old. Cheers!
My big question on tasting notes Other than the grains and barrels, and peat, where do these other flavors come from? (Mint chocolate, honey, butterscotch, Carmel, etc…) Biscuit?, I get because of the grains.
Have you tried Kikori? It's a Japanese Whiskey made from 100% rice. Some of the finest rice in the world they say. I picked it up a few weeks ago out of curiosity and was mildly skeptical. Then I tried it and became surprisingly impressed. After 3/4 of a bottle I've determined that it's some damn fine whiskey and way more complex than I would've thought. Def one to try if you haven't yet, but I'll warn you, it's "pretty damn friendly" as you would say.
No need!! It sounds like I just found a perfect bottle to send you guys. I got another one, possibly two, more being procured by my sommelier friend so it should have some buddies to keep company on the long journey to Texas.
Based on your description and my love of port wine I purchased this with a gift card my wife bought me to my local large selection liquor store. Mine states it is a 14 year whiskey instead of 12. I'm a bourbon person with a high rye mashbill by standard nature but this Scotch hits all of my flavor notes.
I've been waiting for you guys to review a Glenmorangie so that I could request the Glenmorangie Signet. I've heard great things, but I was hoping to get a review from you guys before I drop $220 up here in Canada for a bottle (about $165 U.S.).
I got a bottle of Lasanta a few months ago and have been really enjoying it and now I definitely have to get the Ruben to compare. Plus I don't have any Port finished whisky so I guess I should continue to round out my collection. With all that being said I have a request. I'd like to see you guys try Johnnie Walker Blue Label seeing as it's the one high end Scotch that EVERYONE knows, even nonwhisky drinkers. And I'd like you to match it up with a comparable more affordable blend.
Hey guys, awesome video (as always). This is truly an informative and very entertaining channel, I am eager to watch it grow beyond all expectations!. Quick question: If you were in Scotland, and could only visit ONE distillery out of the 108/109 currently open, which one would you visit and why?
Love the episode guys, Quinta Ruban is a favorite of mine, always have a bottle on hand. If you want to try the 10 year old Glenmorangie, just take the original, closest you can get I think, it's 10 years old ;) Really nice and easy whisky that one.
Rex Dalwhinnie 15 was one of my first, so maybe I'm biased, but the hint of smoke in there was enough of a departure to other alcohols, that, for me, was a great starting point. For intermediate I have two, Balvenie Doublewood, or, if you want to venture into more smoky territory, I had the opportunity to try Bowmore 18, which was wildly different from anything I had tasted prior. I'm still learning, so I don't have an advanced recommendation, but hopefully this helps. Cheers.
Hibiki Harmony -or- Red Breast 12 for introduction. Dalmore 12 -or- Johnnie Walker Double Black for Intermediate. I don't know that I have really had anything I would call advanced.
introductory: Aberlour 12 (or a Glenlivet 12 if you can get your hands on one for cheap), nice and easy, packed with flavour and pretty smooth intermediate: Oban 14, trust me, you'll like it, more subtle in taste but so good advanced: Aberlour A'Bunadh, careful because it's cask strength, but every glass is a different party, just can be a bit much to an untrained drinker
I'd start with a bourbon first since they tend to have a friendly pallet and you can get great ones for a very reasonable price (Let's be honest, you may end up hating whiskey and that's ok). Buffalo Trace is a good bourbon, and is like $30. After that, maybe an Irish since they're also very friendly; maybe Tullamore DEW. Intermediate: Dalmore 12 is a great scotch that is accessible for people without experience, and lovely for people with it. The Macallan or Aberlour have 12 year expressions that are different enough, and good steps up into more diverse and complex whiskys. Advanced: Welcome to Islay, my son. Bruichladdich Port Charlotte. It's smokey and peaty, but very well put together. Laphroaig has a bunch between $40-$60 that will challenge you (they're basically like drinking a campfire). You don't need to save for 2 years to get great whiskey. Honestly, as an intro into alcohol, I'd say start with German/Belgian beer and then work into wine, and then the hard stuff. If this is something that really interests you, it might not be a bad idea to ask your parents for a taste or something. I guarantee you'll have a better drinking experience with them than you will with other 19 year-olds.
I'm sure there will be alot of scotch recommendations so I'll throw you some bourbons: Beginner: Bulleit, Maker's Mark, Eagle Rare 10yr, Basil Hayden, Jim beam Double Black Intermediate: Maker's 46, Woodford Reserve Distiller's select, Four Roses Small Batch, Elijah Craig Small Batch Adcanced: Four Roses Single Barrel, Angel's Envy Port Finish, Booker's, Blanton's, George T. Stagg, Col. E. H. Taylor. Beyond: A.H. Hirsch Reserve 16yr, Pappy Van Winkle 23yr, Buffalo Trace Antique Collection.
Very strange to see a pink whisky indeed! I rencently bought Finlaggan port finish which is also quite pink. Is this an older bottleling of Quanta Ruban? I've seen bottles that have a big white label with a small black portion.
Hey guys! Yet another highly entertaining upload! Like so many others I've had a great time watching all of your videos during the last couple of weeks, and I'm looking forward to seeing more! And let me say congratulations on your distillery approval! That's awesome! One of the aspects I like the most about your videos is when you do comparisons between two or more whisk(e)ys, to highlight the differences between regions, age, cask types and so on. It's on this note that I would like to make a request. Speyside Craft Brewery created a special beer which was aged in ex-Glenfiddich casks for a month before they were returned to the distillery and filled with whisky for a three month finish. Last month I tried the Glenfiddich IPA Experiment bottling, hoping to maybe find some hop notes or something in there, wich would be verry interesting in a whisky. Sadly I didn't, nor did I get to try the IPA bottling and the standard 12 year old Glenfiddich side by side, but maybe you can? My nose and palate aren't that refined as of yet, but maybe you guys could highlight the differences that beer cask made..? Cheers guys! -V
Funny story... (Or maybe not) I’ve been a craft beer guy for a while. Only recently have I gotten into drinking Bourbon neat. When I saw an upcoming Scotch tasting, I reserved seats for me and my gf. It was a blind tasting consisting of 5 samples going from “pretty” to peaty. We liked every one especially #5 which was called an “acquired taste”. It was Lagavulin 16! It seems we’ve acquired the taste. Keep up the good work, guys! P.S. Tell the damb story!!!
Glenmorangie also has one of the best distillery tours that I've been to in Scotland if you're ever over that way. Their tasting room is what every man cave should look like.
talking about wine and wine barrel aging, is it possible to mix 'some' wine into whisky and see if it's either enhancing the whisky or just a total disaster? Is there such an episode already?
Looking to pick up an American single malt. Can't get Westland here in Ontario but have been looking at the Stranahan's, either the original or the Diamond Peak. What do you think?
Ive had this bottle for about 10 days....i have a realy realy really impprtant question. (Bare with me.) Im learning whats the smell. Im learning abkut the taste. Im learning about dashes of water. Im learning about letting the dram set.....all that put aside. Why is it that differwnt whiskies habe differerent hangovers. Example...Ardbeg taste like a nite at a campfire the next day. Monkey Shoulder has to have plunty of water to prevent aches.. Glenlevit 12 is...well weak whatever..... When i have a dram of Glenmorangie the next day everythimg tast soapy almost. Fruity kind of.. I dont know where i was going with this lmao But can we get a "hangover" addition..i geel like this is a whole new world not many if any are focusing on.
I got to try the springbank 11yr bere barley release and the taste that jumped out was soap. Are there any whiskys that are easier to obtain that can give me that flavor again?
The Devils Milk off the top of my head, Spring Bank is one of the only ones. But I find that heavy medicinal/Band-Aids/soapy flavor shows up in most of the Campbeltown whiskys
Great job with the videos. How about recommending some Irish Whiskeys. I absolutely adore the Redbreast 12 and have been wanting to try the Tullemore Dew 12, 14 or Pheonix but just havent pulled the trigger yet. I am just worried I wont be satisfied if I take the leap and know that I can buy a Redbreast, Nikka or other whiskey that I already love.
Hey guys, thanks for edutaining us, the masses, with this series. I've binged all your vids over the past week and, like most of the viewers here, I'm sure, I sit down and have a glencairn or 4 while the two of you banter back and forth. Top notch shit, my dudes. Anyway, 3 questions for you: 1) What's the Glenlivet Founder's Reserve like? Could you review? I'm new to scotch and was eyeing it at the store the other day. 2) I saw you have Cleveland Whiskey's Underground. Have you ever tried their flagship whiskey? I'm from CLE and I gotta tell you... it's kinda not the business. Would love to hear your take on either one. 3) Rex, when you gonna release your Ultimate Guide to the Magical Manipulation of the Mooch? Mahalo
Thanks Dane! 1. oddly enough, we tried the Glenlivet Founder's Reserve shooting videos yesterday. But we mixed it with something else ;-) We'll do a video all on it's own. It's good! 2. I really, really, don't like the Cleveland Underground stuff. Dramatic and aggressive with no subtlety. 3. stay tuned.
Just a note to whoever is editing these videos, for me the final 'voice-over' at the end was pretty much all left side. It was a bit disconcerting. (Unless it was meant to be like that, then i guess that's okay.) And I am seriously working on that spreadsheet of all the videos with their descriptions, it's just going to take a while as there is a LOT of content. Workin' on it! Might be a month to get through everything as it stands now, not including the new videos that keep coming. It's not going to be fancy in any way, just a record of the guys reviews for my own reference.
Now that's an interesting idea... It could either be a place for people to simply view it, or they could add their own inputs to it if they wished. Maybe a Google Docs type scenario.
you guys give good reviews, like Glenmorangie has a forest in US and lease barrels to American Whiskey distillers. And you are funny too like to hear you guys
Mooched this off a friend who gave me free reign in his liquor cabinet while we were chilling and smoking cigars. Was the friendliest of the ones I tried. Liked it, but I need to try it again without pipe smoke on my pallet. lol.
I think that port casks are shaped longer so they can be acomodated better in the small boats that traditionally transported them down the river Douro in Portugal pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barco_Rabelo (2nd picture) that is what it was told to me but i am not sure if it is true. I live Like 60mins drive from the region where port is natural from (Régua - Porto) so i love that there is a Heavy Portuguese influence in whisky through the usage of port and madeira casks (Madeira is an Island in the Atlantic that is still portugal much like islay is an island in the coast of scotland but bigger and farther way).
Remove the fact that one is sherry finish and one is port finish, you said that the barrel shape was different, everything else being the same would the shape of the barrel have a impact other then the amount of wood the whiskey is in contact with?
I sure hope somebody makes an app for pricing and availability of whiskeys. Here in Michigan prices swing $10-15 for the same bottles within 20 miles. Paid $64 for this today.
Hello all. As a newcomer to whisk(e)y, I would love to hear opinions on whether or not the the Glenmorangie 10 would be a good first single malt scotch. If it isn't, what would you suggest as a first try for single malts? Any and all suggestions are welcome! thanks!
Awesome! I appreciate all of the information from the videos. And I agree with another commenter that suggested you guys should have a podcast. That would be fun. You could bring on a guest every episode and have a really interesting, thoughtful interview with them, and Rex could be there, too. ;p
Hallo, I have been drinking whiskey for the last two years and have a couple of opened whiskeys. because I'm still a bit new to this, could you tell me how long a half full bottle can stand without changing the taste. hope you can help me.
The way the whisky changes in the bottle is part of the fascination of whisky. Enjoy it. When the bottle gets low it has to be moved to a smaller container or taken orally however. The last few drams only get worse with time.
Hey Daniel and Rex I have recently found your Channel and was curious as to your opinions on Jack Daniels single barrel select being as I had received a bottle for my 21st birthday and thoroughly enjoyed it it also being the first and only alcohol I'd ever drank
We added a whole thread with viewers recommending entry whisky! It's in the comments of this video: th-cam.com/video/4F5ivVKV5rk/w-d-xo.html&lc=z13zs1aw2vyoffqks23ccvlzqmilhj0i204
Nag Champa (a combination of sandalwood and frangipani) or sandalwood? I'm asking to help understand Daniel's sense of smell, and not to be a pedantic ass, just to clarify. I didn't find either in my last bottle, but I did get the walnut oil.
Old Pulteney 12 is a classic highland that is great to start with. It's much more interesting than the Glenfiddich 12 or the Glenmorangie 12 which are a bit sweet and simple. Personally I find the Glenlivet 12 downright bland. Then to the great all rounder, Highland Park 12. From there you can go anywhere.
Michael adams well, the whisky market is not that wide in Argentina, we even have to travel to Uruguay, that's 1000 km from where I am, and is not something you can find that easy.
Michael adams there are some taxes here for spirit drinks, sometimes it's three times the price, we pay 80 dollars for a Buffalo Trace last week. I heard it's about 30 dollars or so there.
Anyone else have their video screwed up by TH-cam, and suddenly cut half the video and replay the video from the beginning, with the audio from the end. Shut down the app. And it works perfect...
Happened to me a few times before. Just did the typical, "turn it off and then on again." Speaking of which, if you haven't seen "The IT Crowd" on Netflix, it's pretty great.
Rex, I guess that’s the risk you take for being half a man and a mooch, when you talk the Somm out of giving you whiskey. That internal death is a bitch. I love the reviews. Great job 👏
So, "Effundam pecunia super me" doesn't quite make sense in Latin. If you are wanting to say, "Pour your money on me," it should be "Effunde pecuniam super me." If you are trying to say, "I will pour money on myself" it would be "Effundam pecuniam super me."
You lost one! There is one more of this whiskys which is Finished in White Wine Casks! By the way, Rex new quest is to mooch his way to a threesome... i mean with all three whiskys ^^ Would love to see if this is also a Totaly different whisky! By the way no i have to get around 180 euros on my hand because i want to taste all three of them and arround here is neither a bar whith a grand collection or some Guys with a vault you could mooch in to get this stuff XD The Name of the Whisky you lost is Glenmorangie Nectar d'Or 12. The ten year old called Original seems to be thing that is getting finished in this line, i did not find something writtean about it But i found some Packs which had the original in it and than like little test bottles with the aged ones as extra gimmics. Sooo Maybe its rex new quest to Get himself involved in a Whisky Master Mooch Boss Battle with 4 Whiskys in one Video?

After you'be been sampling whisky for a year or more you may come to like the woody taste, and at that time Maker's Mark may actually taste like a mild bourbon (it's a 'wheated' bourbon).
For your first Single Malt purchase I recommend the Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban, the main focus of this whisky review.
This is a 'yummy' Single Malt Scotch and this probably works best for a beginner.
Two other great choices for first Single Malt Scotch include The Glenlivet 12 year old, and the Glenfiddich 12 year old.
Cheers!
Hmmm, Dan likes peat, but isn't a fan of sherry casks. How about giving Ardbeg Uigeadail a try to see which side wins?
Oh hell yes. I love that Ardbeg. And the peat definitely wins.
Wizard Academy I love it too. It's my go-to when I want a whiskey to kick my ass. Like the story I told you last week. Great stuff for that!
My big question on tasting notes
Other than the grains and barrels, and peat, where do these other flavors come from?
(Mint chocolate, honey, butterscotch, Carmel, etc…)
Biscuit?, I get because of the grains.
Stupid question: scotch is presumably older than bourbon so what did Scotland do before they had bourbon barrels to use to age their whisky in?
Mostly wine barrels.
Whiskey Vault good to know
Hey guys, can you talk a little bit about the addition of caramel E-150 to whisk(e)ys? What's your take on this matter?Cheers!
Ahh, yes! For science.
Have you tried Kikori? It's a Japanese Whiskey made from 100% rice. Some of the finest rice in the world they say. I picked it up a few weeks ago out of curiosity and was mildly skeptical. Then I tried it and became surprisingly impressed. After 3/4 of a bottle I've determined that it's some damn fine whiskey and way more complex than I would've thought. Def one to try if you haven't yet, but I'll warn you, it's "pretty damn friendly" as you would say.
Oh man, I'll need to try to find some of this.
No need!! It sounds like I just found a perfect bottle to send you guys. I got another one, possibly two, more being procured by my sommelier friend so it should have some buddies to keep company on the long journey to Texas.
Based on your description and my love of port wine I purchased this with a gift card my wife bought me to my local large selection liquor store. Mine states it is a 14 year whiskey instead of 12. I'm a bourbon person with a high rye mashbill by standard nature but this Scotch hits all of my flavor notes.
Could you do a comparison video between the Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban and the Dalmore Port Wood please?
Quinta Ruban was my first bottle. Good memories.
I've been waiting for you guys to review a Glenmorangie so that I could request the Glenmorangie Signet. I've heard great things, but I was hoping to get a review from you guys before I drop $220 up here in Canada for a bottle (about $165 U.S.).
Send us some money, and we'll split it with you ;-)
I got a bottle of Lasanta a few months ago and have been really enjoying it and now I definitely have to get the Ruben to compare. Plus I don't have any Port finished whisky so I guess I should continue to round out my collection. With all that being said I have a request. I'd like to see you guys try Johnnie Walker Blue Label seeing as it's the one high end Scotch that EVERYONE knows, even nonwhisky drinkers. And I'd like you to match it up with a comparable more affordable blend.
I like the idea of this ;-) Just need to find someone to buy us some Johnnie Blue
Hey guys, awesome video (as always). This is truly an informative and very entertaining channel, I am eager to watch it grow beyond all expectations!.
Quick question: If you were in Scotland, and could only visit ONE distillery out of the 108/109 currently open, which one would you visit and why?
Love the episode guys, Quinta Ruban is a favorite of mine, always have a bottle on hand. If you want to try the 10 year old Glenmorangie, just take the original, closest you can get I think, it's 10 years old ;) Really nice and easy whisky that one.
There's actually a 4 pack with the 10 year old and 3 whiskies finished in different casks, I'm working my way through them now
I picked up a bottle of that Glenmorangie today to take to a coworkers retirement party tomorrow. I am super excited to try it now.
Imho...
Beginner - Glenmorangie 10
Intermediate - Glenlivet 15
Advanced - Aberlour 18
Good list!
I have Aberlour 18 and A'bunadh and they are both good but I think the A'bunadh is great at cask strength with water of coarse.
The 14 port is definitely one of the best whiskies I’ve tasted. I think I will always have a bottle ready
Put your Introductory, Intermediate, and Advanced whisky recommendations here:
Rex Dalwhinnie 15 was one of my first, so maybe I'm biased, but the hint of smoke in there was enough of a departure to other alcohols, that, for me, was a great starting point. For intermediate I have two, Balvenie Doublewood, or, if you want to venture into more smoky territory, I had the opportunity to try Bowmore 18, which was wildly different from anything I had tasted prior. I'm still learning, so I don't have an advanced recommendation, but hopefully this helps. Cheers.
Hibiki Harmony -or- Red Breast 12 for introduction. Dalmore 12 -or- Johnnie Walker Double Black for Intermediate. I don't know that I have really had anything I would call advanced.
introductory: Aberlour 12 (or a Glenlivet 12 if you can get your hands on one for cheap), nice and easy, packed with flavour and pretty smooth
intermediate: Oban 14, trust me, you'll like it, more subtle in taste but so good
advanced: Aberlour A'Bunadh, careful because it's cask strength, but every glass is a different party, just can be a bit much to an untrained drinker
I'd start with a bourbon first since they tend to have a friendly pallet and you can get great ones for a very reasonable price (Let's be honest, you may end up hating whiskey and that's ok). Buffalo Trace is a good bourbon, and is like $30. After that, maybe an Irish since they're also very friendly; maybe Tullamore DEW.
Intermediate: Dalmore 12 is a great scotch that is accessible for people without experience, and lovely for people with it. The Macallan or Aberlour have 12 year expressions that are different enough, and good steps up into more diverse and complex whiskys.
Advanced: Welcome to Islay, my son. Bruichladdich Port Charlotte. It's smokey and peaty, but very well put together. Laphroaig has a bunch between $40-$60 that will challenge you (they're basically like drinking a campfire).
You don't need to save for 2 years to get great whiskey. Honestly, as an intro into alcohol, I'd say start with German/Belgian beer and then work into wine, and then the hard stuff. If this is something that really interests you, it might not be a bad idea to ask your parents for a taste or something. I guarantee you'll have a better drinking experience with them than you will with other 19 year-olds.
I'm sure there will be alot of scotch recommendations so I'll throw you some bourbons:
Beginner: Bulleit, Maker's Mark, Eagle Rare 10yr, Basil Hayden, Jim beam Double Black
Intermediate: Maker's 46, Woodford Reserve Distiller's select, Four Roses Small Batch, Elijah Craig Small Batch
Adcanced: Four Roses Single Barrel, Angel's Envy Port Finish, Booker's, Blanton's, George T. Stagg, Col. E. H. Taylor.
Beyond: A.H. Hirsch Reserve 16yr, Pappy Van Winkle 23yr, Buffalo Trace Antique Collection.
Classic Daniel, "Hide the pot smell"
Very strange to see a pink whisky indeed! I rencently bought Finlaggan port finish which is also quite pink.
Is this an older bottleling of Quanta Ruban? I've seen bottles that have a big white label with a small black portion.
Yes, the Finlaggan Port has the same tone. And it's delicious.
I think the Quinta Ruban is the new label design.
I'm only 18, but I live in the UK, where the drinking age is 18. My fav bottle is the glengoyne 18
I bet i can guess your lucky number...
Hey guys! Yet another highly entertaining upload! Like so many others I've had a great time watching all of your videos during the last couple of weeks, and I'm looking forward to seeing more! And let me say congratulations on your distillery approval! That's awesome!
One of the aspects I like the most about your videos is when you do comparisons between two or more whisk(e)ys, to highlight the differences between regions, age, cask types and so on. It's on this note that I would like to make a request.
Speyside Craft Brewery created a special beer which was aged in ex-Glenfiddich casks for a month before they were returned to the distillery and filled with whisky for a three month finish. Last month I tried the Glenfiddich IPA Experiment bottling, hoping to maybe find some hop notes or something in there, wich would be verry interesting in a whisky. Sadly I didn't, nor did I get to try the IPA bottling and the standard 12 year old Glenfiddich side by side, but maybe you can? My nose and palate aren't that refined as of yet, but maybe you guys could highlight the differences that beer cask made..?
Cheers guys!
-V
I love this idea. I'll add it to the list of tastings!
Funny story... (Or maybe not) I’ve been a craft beer guy for a while. Only recently have I gotten into drinking Bourbon neat. When I saw an upcoming Scotch tasting, I reserved seats for me and my gf. It was a blind tasting consisting of 5 samples going from “pretty” to peaty. We liked every one especially #5 which was called an “acquired taste”. It was Lagavulin 16! It seems we’ve acquired the taste.
Keep up the good work, guys!
P.S. Tell the damb story!!!
Well done! Glad to have another whisky drinker in the fold!
Glenmorangie also has one of the best distillery tours that I've been to in Scotland if you're ever over that way. Their tasting room is what every man cave should look like.
Duly noted!
Hey guys, have either of you two had the Traverse City Bourbon American Cherry Edition? I saw it at work and wondered if it would be worth it or not.
I haven't! We'll have to get someone to send us some........
talking about wine and wine barrel aging, is it possible to mix 'some' wine into whisky and see if it's either enhancing the whisky or just a total disaster? Is there such an episode already?
you're not a sherry guy? i thought you loved glenfarclas 12. what do you prefer out of Quinta Ruban 12, Lasanta and glenfarclas 12 ?
thanks
Looking to pick up an American single malt. Can't get Westland here in Ontario but have been looking at the Stranahan's, either the original or the Diamond Peak. What do you think?
My three choices would be Stranahans (any bottle they make), Colkegan (new mexico), or Balcones (Texas)
Can't get Colkegan or Balcones either....Stranahan's it is. To the liqour store I go!
Stranahans has never made a bad whiskey as far as I can tell.
Ive had this bottle for about 10 days....i have a realy realy really impprtant question.
(Bare with me.)
Im learning whats the smell.
Im learning abkut the taste.
Im learning about dashes of water.
Im learning about letting the dram set.....all that put aside.
Why is it that differwnt whiskies habe differerent hangovers.
Example...Ardbeg taste like a nite at a campfire the next day.
Monkey Shoulder has to have plunty of water to prevent aches..
Glenlevit 12 is...well weak whatever.....
When i have a dram of Glenmorangie the next day everythimg tast soapy almost.
Fruity kind of..
I dont know where i was going with this lmao
But can we get a "hangover" addition..i geel like this is a whole new world not many if any are focusing on.
I got to try the springbank 11yr bere barley release and the taste that jumped out was soap. Are there any whiskys that are easier to obtain that can give me that flavor again?
The Devils Milk off the top of my head, Spring Bank is one of the only ones. But I find that heavy medicinal/Band-Aids/soapy flavor shows up in most of the Campbeltown whiskys
Great job with the videos. How about recommending some Irish Whiskeys. I absolutely adore the Redbreast 12 and have been wanting to try the Tullemore Dew 12, 14 or Pheonix but just havent pulled the trigger yet. I am just worried I wont be satisfied if I take the leap and know that I can buy a Redbreast, Nikka or other whiskey that I already love.
Here's our list of Irish reviewed so far. We'll keep adding!
th-cam.com/video/EHOAsBhW0QU/w-d-xo.html
Hey guys, thanks for edutaining us, the masses, with this series. I've binged all your vids over the past week and, like most of the viewers here, I'm sure, I sit down and have a glencairn or 4 while the two of you banter back and forth. Top notch shit, my dudes.
Anyway, 3 questions for you:
1) What's the Glenlivet Founder's Reserve like? Could you review? I'm new to scotch and was eyeing it at the store the other day.
2) I saw you have Cleveland Whiskey's Underground. Have you ever tried their flagship whiskey? I'm from CLE and I gotta tell you... it's kinda not the business. Would love to hear your take on either one.
3) Rex, when you gonna release your Ultimate Guide to the Magical Manipulation of the Mooch?
Mahalo
Thanks Dane!
1. oddly enough, we tried the Glenlivet Founder's Reserve shooting videos yesterday. But we mixed it with something else ;-) We'll do a video all on it's own. It's good!
2. I really, really, don't like the Cleveland Underground stuff. Dramatic and aggressive with no subtlety.
3. stay tuned.
Why don't you ask Glenmorangie to let you put your new spirit in their barrels when they are shipped from Missouri to Scotland. Boom: Wizard Ocean!
Pure genius.
Just a note to whoever is editing these videos, for me the final 'voice-over' at the end was pretty much all left side. It was a bit disconcerting. (Unless it was meant to be like that, then i guess that's okay.)
And I am seriously working on that spreadsheet of all the videos with their descriptions, it's just going to take a while as there is a LOT of content. Workin' on it! Might be a month to get through everything as it stands now, not including the new videos that keep coming. It's not going to be fancy in any way, just a record of the guys reviews for my own reference.
That is awesome. When it's finished, let's find a place to host it as you maintain it.
Now that's an interesting idea... It could either be a place for people to simply view it, or they could add their own inputs to it if they wished. Maybe a Google Docs type scenario.
Intro- basil Hayden
Intemriediate- glenmorangie 10
Advanced- dalmore 12 or maybe talisker 10 or red breast 12
just bought the 14 for our whisky club night. cant wait to try it
I love when i buy a bottle look up yawls reiew and it starts in lol outloud
19 is legal drinking age up here in Ontario.
Yes it is.
you guys give good reviews, like Glenmorangie has a forest in US and lease barrels to American Whiskey distillers. And you are funny too like to hear you guys
Mooched this off a friend who gave me free reign in his liquor cabinet while we were chilling and smoking cigars. Was the friendliest of the ones I tried. Liked it, but I need to try it again without pipe smoke on my pallet. lol.
Rex doesn’t even flinch while Daniel stumble all over about correcting himself🙃😝
I think that port casks are shaped longer so they can be acomodated better in the small boats that traditionally transported them down the river Douro in Portugal pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barco_Rabelo (2nd picture) that is what it was told to me but i am not sure if it is true. I live Like 60mins drive from the region where port is natural from (Régua - Porto) so i love that there is a Heavy Portuguese influence in whisky through the usage of port and madeira casks (Madeira is an Island in the Atlantic that is still portugal much like islay is an island in the coast of scotland but bigger and farther way).
Remove the fact that one is sherry finish and one is port finish, you said that the barrel shape was different, everything else being the same would the shape of the barrel have a impact other then the amount of wood the whiskey is in contact with?
Yes, it definitely would!
Guys we need a REVIEW of Glenmorangie 18 extremily rare (I drank 3 bottles) for me is fantastic but your opinion is really good
I sure hope somebody makes an app for pricing and availability of whiskeys. Here in Michigan prices swing $10-15 for the same bottles within 20 miles. Paid $64 for this today.
It was the 14 though.
haven't had a chance to taste this but i value your opinion please try pendleton because ive heard good things about it
Pendleton is pretty smooth! I'll have us try it.
Today! th-cam.com/video/m4rQ69DNiMs/w-d-xo.html&lc=z13winwgjsnhgvzbb04citnx3wmuvpoiet00k
Can yall review Balvenie 14 year caribbean cast.
I'll add it to the list!
thanks its one of my favorite scotches
What, no one asked this question yet? What did they call the whisky that they moved to starboard?
I bought the LaSanta and drank it in 2 weeks. I couldn't leave it alone.
I've been there.
Whiskey Vault I'm doing the same thing to a bottle of Aberlour 12 right now. oh well...it's not going to drink itself.
Hello all. As a newcomer to whisk(e)y, I would love to hear opinions on whether or not the the Glenmorangie 10 would be a good first single malt scotch. If it isn't, what would you suggest as a first try for single malts? Any and all suggestions are welcome! thanks!
It definitely would. Solid but not boring. We're working on lists for entry level!
Awesome! I appreciate all of the information from the videos. And I agree with another commenter that suggested you guys should have a podcast. That would be fun. You could bring on a guest every episode and have a really interesting, thoughtful interview with them, and Rex could be there, too. ;p
Lol Quinta is farm in Portuguese! Port is fortified wine made in Portugal, only in the Douro region.
Slather. What whiskey did you get tho?
Hallo, I have been drinking whiskey for the last two years and have a couple of opened whiskeys. because I'm still a bit new to this, could you tell me how long a half full bottle can stand without changing the taste. hope you can help me.
Half bottle? A few years. A 1/4 bottle? About 9 months. Daniel will correct me if I'm remembering that wrong.
Thank you very much - Then I'll have it for a little while :-)
The way the whisky changes in the bottle is part of the fascination of whisky. Enjoy it. When the bottle gets low it has to be moved to a smaller container or taken orally however.
The last few drams only get worse with time.
Hey Daniel and Rex I have recently found your Channel and was curious as to your opinions on Jack Daniels single barrel select being as I had received a bottle for my 21st birthday and thoroughly enjoyed it it also being the first and only alcohol I'd ever drank
We'll try this one!
that's awesome since I'm still new to whiskey what would be a good next step in your guys opinions
We added a whole thread with viewers recommending entry whisky! It's in the comments of this video: th-cam.com/video/4F5ivVKV5rk/w-d-xo.html&lc=z13zs1aw2vyoffqks23ccvlzqmilhj0i204
While watching this Vid, I've accidentally discovered my favourite thing. Drinking Glendronach 12 while snacking on black grapes.
The shape of the barrel would increase the interaction between the contents and the wood.
I, too love the Quinta Ruban more than the Lasanta, which is tasty, as well, the regular Glenmorangie is dessert sweet, tasty
Nag Champa (a combination of sandalwood and frangipani) or sandalwood? I'm asking to help understand Daniel's sense of smell, and not to be a pedantic ass, just to clarify. I didn't find either in my last bottle, but I did get the walnut oil.
I was thinking the nag champa. But now that we're digging down this deeply, I need to go back to the whisky and compare again. Thanks for watching!
Beginner: Glenlivet 15, Glenmorangie 10
Intermediate: Dalmore 12, Chivas 12
Advanced: Lagavulin 16, Laphroaig 10, Ardbeg 10, Port Charlotte Heavily Peated
current faves: Bruichladdich Organic 2009, Laphroaig Lore
Intro: Nikka Whisky from the Barrel
Intermediate: spring bank 15
Advanced: port charlotte heavily peated
Such good suggestions.
Wizard Academy hey guys your awesome. Can you guys introduce how your organise your whisky behind your videos
I'll add this in at some point!
Beginner: Bushmills 10 or Glenmorangie 10
Intermediate: Aberlour 12 or Glendronach 12
Advanced: Dalwhinnie 15 or The Balvenie 12
Old Pulteney 12 is a classic highland that is great to start with. It's much more interesting than the Glenfiddich 12 or the Glenmorangie 12 which are a bit sweet and simple. Personally I find the Glenlivet 12 downright bland.
Then to the great all rounder, Highland Park 12. From there you can go anywhere.
Highland park is awesome.
I've compared the two and they really are very different. Anyone else pick up burnt marshmallows on the quinta Ruban?
The Lasanta is artificially coloured, the quinta ruban is all natural colour. I guess the Lasanta would be quite a bit lighter before colouring.
I bought some of this and it’s awesome in my opinion
Got a bottle of old 12y.o. batch some time ago, then the new 14y.o. and again the old one and... the old batch is definitely better.
Old video, but Daniel's comment about Tawny Port struck me. Dude, if you like Tawny Port, you have to try Cockburn 20 Year Tawny Port.
Oh believe me, I have.
@@WhiskeyVault Outstanding. It's hands down my favorite Port. I'd love to try older tawny ports.
You covered it here on how to pronounce it yay!!!
Santo Paulo I think is the word you’re talking about or something like that LOL
Introduction; The Glenliveit 12. Intermediate; Bowmore 12.
Secondary; Highland Park 12
like for that intro by itself
Rex how do you not know what non chill filtered means? You've tried hundreds of whiskies and hangout with Daniel all day.
You drastically over-estimate my willingness to listen.
Lol. That's what I figured. You just drown Daniel out like I do sometimes when my kids are whining.
So you have hobbits too. We have a lot in common.
Yes the shire is full of hobbits these days.
It sounded like he was asking for the benefit of the viewers.
What is a space side?
Speyside
Whiskey Vault I see! Distilled in Northern Scotland
What about if I give you my soul for those two bottles which are impossible to get in Argentina?
Nico Juarez really can't get those? Ruban amazing if you were near me bro id but you a bottle an trade you for bottle of equal price
Michael adams well, the whisky market is not that wide in Argentina, we even have to travel to Uruguay, that's 1000 km from where I am, and is not something you can find that easy.
Got yeah that sucks man can you get it from master of malt? Its good drink I got mine two weeks ago.
Michael adams there are some taxes here for spirit drinks, sometimes it's three times the price, we pay 80 dollars for a Buffalo Trace last week. I heard it's about 30 dollars or so there.
Yikes I'm limited to only what around me master malt dont ship to my state. I got lucky found decent shop 30 min away from me but only shop
Rex , you can't just leave us hanging ! you either tell a story or you don't! "Oh it's a good one!! but I can't tell you!"..
A bachelor party, a stolen pumpkin, and an illegal border crossing... that's all I'm saying.
My Quinta Ruban was nowhere near as red, help, I feel cheated right now...
Anyone else have their video screwed up by TH-cam, and suddenly cut half the video and replay the video from the beginning, with the audio from the end.
Shut down the app. And it works perfect...
Happened to me a few times before. Just did the typical, "turn it off and then on again." Speaking of which, if you haven't seen "The IT Crowd" on Netflix, it's pretty great.
Rex, I guess that’s the risk you take for being half a man and a mooch, when you talk the Somm out of giving you whiskey. That internal death is a bitch. I love the reviews. Great job 👏
I always knew how to say it because Glenmorangie tastes 'orange-y'.
beginner: ledaig 10
intermediate: isle of jura prophecy
advanced: ardbeg 10
I thought the Quinta Ruban was decent. I liked it much better than the Lasanta expression of Glenmorangie.
Me too. The Lasanta is a bit to clingy sweet.
Why don’t seagulls fly over the bay? Because then they’d be bay-gulls!
😂😂😂😂 Oh my goodness... so unexpected!
So, "Effundam pecunia super me" doesn't quite make sense in Latin. If you are wanting to say, "Pour your money on me," it should be "Effunde pecuniam super me." If you are trying to say, "I will pour money on myself" it would be "Effundam pecuniam super me."
Buy an Idea
You lost one! There is one more of this whiskys which is Finished in White Wine Casks! By the way, Rex new quest is to mooch his way to a threesome... i mean with all three whiskys ^^ Would love to see if this is also a Totaly different whisky!
By the way no i have to get around 180 euros on my hand because i want to taste all three of them and arround here is neither a bar whith a grand collection or some Guys with a vault you could mooch in to get this stuff XD
The Name of the Whisky you lost is Glenmorangie Nectar d'Or 12.
The ten year old called Original seems to be thing that is getting finished in this line, i did not find something writtean about it But i found some Packs which had the original in it and than like little test bottles with the aged ones as extra gimmics.
Sooo Maybe its rex new quest to Get himself involved in a Whisky Master Mooch Boss Battle with 4 Whiskys in one Video?
Yes! We're getting the Nectar into the vault to add it in.
4 way whisky battle on the way.
