This is the single greatest introduction to whisky out there. Not only is Daniel, the guy with the magnificent beard, fun, knowledgeable and anti-snobbery (the holy trinity of teaching) he explains everything in such a sensible way while choosing some great examples to show how it turns out in the product. Also you guys are following along with interest and trying to learn but aren´t annyoing when chiming in. Honestly this was better than many tastings I have done even without drinking along. Good on you... go sit on your whiskey!
Das ist gut, yeah this vid came from nowear in my recommended half a year ago, after that i have followed Modern Rogue and Whiskey Vault on the daily as it were.
I've realized that it doesn't really matter what topic is presented, it's always fun to listen to experts talk about a craft. Guys like this demystify a ton of the barrier to entry for us casuals.
Daniel certainly knows his stuff. In 2017 he was already talking about Henry Mckenna and now, 2019, that whisky gets the "Best Whisky" award at the San Francisco world spirits competition.
Fuck those other commenters I love getting high or drinking and watching TH-cam videos of people chatting and doing the same shit. Like joe rogans fight companion they just get hammered and talk about fights
While I may be proud enough to think I wouldn’t pay to hangout with those guys, I would be horribly wrong. I can tell from many years of making awful decisions that I would have a blast... much appreciation for the effort on these videos.

I have watched this video *several* times, I have since moved onto watching a ton of whiskey tribe videos, but this was the beginning of my whiskey journey, and has led to wonderful wonderful things
Damn, that hit the spot. Been learning about whiskey for a while and knew a lot already but this video content is such a beauty, can't state enough how much joy it was watching these guys learn and have fun doing it. Plus, I was there; drinking each time they were and I'm glad I did. Cheers bros
Am I the only one sitting sipping a Scotch from a Glen Cairn glass, watching this wishing I could be in the conversation too. I'm answering some question, asking some questions. Can't beat sitting around with some friends and a bottle of Scotch having a good conversation.

Just came across you guy's! Love the show, best thing on TH-cam. Better then tv cause you guys get to curse cause kids isn't watching TH-cam about Whisky 😅😅
Basically means it must be produced at one distillery during one distilling season, aged a minimum of four years in a federally-bonded warehouse in new, charred oak barrels, and bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV). That's on top of the other legal requirements to call that whiskey a bourbon.
"My husband LOVES books!!! I've caught him standing in front of our bookshelf, staring at it for several minutes, trying carefully to decide what to read. Still not sure where he disappears to throughout the day🥴"
This is an awesome video. I'm getting all this whisk(e)y knowledge the same as cigar knowledge from the Understanding Cigars video. Daniel is giving us so much knowledge. Thank you guys I'm taking notes.
This is an excellent video. I thought the nod to the origin of the word “whiskey” was great as well. Very good knowledge. Just so you know, uisce beatha is pronounced “ishka baha” rather than “oosca baytha”. I know it’s very pedantic but I love the linguistics of it. Anyway, great video! Keep it up!
There are a few stellar whiskeys playing on the chocolate flavours from the micro distillary at middleton. The series is called method and madness. Using french limousine and chestnut to age the whiskey. If this appeals to anyones pallet id highly HIGHLY recommed it. also the redbreast lustau on the nose is unreall.
Guys, you need a patreon account, not going to donate because I'm broke AF but I would love to see more content from you and I'm sure others would donate!
Red Breast 12 was the first whiskey I had at 60 years old that was not harsh to me and I’ve started a collection of whiskey, scotch, and bourbon because of that! Great video
its not just the wood that adds flavour. a speyside whisky gets its unique flavour from the local water used to cut down the high strength grain to the traditional 40/35% strength before it gets stored in oak barrels. an expert whisky taster (who isnt me lol) could tell you the region a scottish whisky came from by the unique flavour from the water in it alone. the irish stout was a way to circumvent the malted barley tax as well. they just roasted the grain instead
SteamMachine the water contributes less than 1% of the flavour. No distillery in speyside takes directly from the river Spey. Distilleries now 99% of the time in Scotland draw from the water table. Water effects the yield you get but not the flavour. (I work in the scotch industry)
@@jakecullen1096 No distillery draws its water from the river. Im sure he meant local springs and wells, not the actual river itself. You work in the industry? cool. So you will know about famous wells like Collmans (Highland) and specifically the Cairngorms (Speyside) in and around the Macallan, Glenfiddich, The Glenlivet, Tomintoul and Braeval distilleries with Cairngorms being the highest spring water source in the UK and being low in minerals whereas the Colemans is high in certain minerals offering both very distinctive tastes? I dont work in the industry, I read a book and find it difficult to agree with water does not affect taste. But i am not an expert like you.
Hahaha. Pay close attention to what they say at the end, "Whiskey is so subjective that you can have completely different opinions and everyone is absolutely right" "This one is definitely sweeter" "We're going to end with this one and call it a day." Like a teacher ending the class early because nobody is listening. Unintentionally brilliant.. LOL.
Also - the Whisk(e)ys in order of appearance, with a bit of research on my side: 1. 2:28 Redbreast 12 Years, irish single pot still. Unique Taste from a percentage of unmalted barley, which the irish used to trick the british tax system in the 1800`s. Regarded as a classic irish style. I have read at some point this styles availability is receding with Redbreast being one of its most revered figureheads - cant find that again, though. Historical explanation starts at 10:32 2. 6:40 (not tasted) Knob Creek 100% Proof (=57,15 %Vol vs. most bottles at 40 %Vol.) 9 Years (presumed) Named after a Creek near its Distillery. Part of Jim Beams "Small Batch" Program. 3. 6:55 Henry McKenna 10 Years Apparently was very famous in the early 1900's until the prohibition was declared and was known for its high quality. Today I found it often rated just under 4 of 5 - with many wondering why its score isnt higher and citing it as their go-to bourbon. Seems to be one of the most Iconic Bourbons. 4. 11:53 Whistlepig 10 Years, Straight Rye, People were upset to find Whistlepig was sourced from Canada and only finished aging in Vermont, when it is perfectly normal for young brands like Whistlepig to start like that. I could not find if they still do their whiskey like that, but Whistlepig is certainly held in high regards by customers in critics alike. All in all, I think I can tell customers genuinely rever these brands and we are looking at some good quality. What everyone personally prefers might differ from one to another, but these bottles seem to be a safe bet to be met with an at least pleasurable experience. The Wizard has chosen wisely.
@@elizataylor1726 more like if it isn't made in Scotland it isn't scotch.. originally bourbon whiskey was made in bourbon county In Kentucky.. think before you speak

Knob Creek 100 proof has a little more kick than Henry McKenna 100 proof. From personal experience. Both great bourbons.
Got a bottle of Knob Creek 120 proof...good stuff.
Yeah, the single barrel Knob. Love the flavor profile on that.

Named after a Creek near its Distillery. Part of Jim Beams "Small Batch" Program.
3. 6:55 Henry McKenna 10 Years
Apparently was very famous in the early 1900's until the prohibition was declared and was known for its high quality. Today I found it often rated just under 4 of 5 - with many wondering why its score isnt higher and citing it as their go-to bourbon. Seems to be one of the most Iconic Bourbons.
4. 11:53 Whistlepig 10 Years, Straight Rye,
People were upset to find Whistlepig was sourced from Canada and only finished aging in Vermont, when it is perfectly normal for young brands like Whistlepig to start like that. I could not find if they still do their whiskey like that, but Whistlepig is certainly held in high regards by customers in critics alike.
All in all, I think I can tell customers genuinely rever these brands and we are looking at some good quality. What everyone personally prefers might differ from one to another, but these bottles seem to be a safe bet to be met with an at least pleasurable experience. The Wizard has chosen wisely.
12:29 I'm sure you're helping Daniel's confidence in his new distillery.

If only the Modern Rogue decided to do more videos with the Whiskey Tribe and/or The Beerists. Always a joy to see Murphy and Brian get hammered on camera. Cilantro! 🍻
Thank you Modern Rogue!
You are quite welcome.
That comment about distillery doing something else while waiting for their whiskey, yeah that’s what Lake District distillery did or are still doing I can’t remember by making gin and vodka as they are a new distillery in the Lake District England.
I've learned so much about whisky and I'm not even legally able to drink it..............
Gotta say I was not expecting the video to be this good. I actually learned something and enjoyed it.
It's great to have King Ragnar beside you 😃
