    Blends. There is a certain segment of the whisky community who consider all blends to not only be inferior to every single malt but so bad that they should never be poured. That's okay since it means more Compass Box for me. These are the same people who will go on and on about some no name independent bottler's rendition of a whisky from a distillery who sends 99% of their product to be blended but they wouldn't ever try that blend.

      To be fair on that point, im one of the people that will probably never buy blends (or at least in the next good couple of years).
      Its not that they are inferior, its just that i want the purer experience. If i wanna taste Caol Ila, i’ll buy it.
      Makes the tasting easier + i find that great whiskies have so much complexity, i’d feel lost in a blend with great whiskies.
      Well that, and most blends are not exactly aimed at the enthusiasts:)

    How or what others drink/pronounce their whisky I couldnt give a crap about...to each their own! "5 things that whisky drinkers hate" should be;
    1) More tariffs/taxes by governments/countries
    2) Distillers raising prices just because a bottle has become popular
    3) Idiots buying mass quantities of limited or allocated whisky bottles to sell it at ridiculous amounts of profit
    4) Regionalization or limited exportation of better bottles and allocated bottles to some countries
    5) Limiting production when distillers have the production capacity to make more, when they have products that sell out quickly.

    Great list Geoff! I DEFINITELY experience most of what you listed. Sadly, I have been hurt (I won’t say “butt hurt” because that’s vulgar) when I have poured a favorite to a friend only to have them say “eh, that was ok”. Conversely, I have tasted some highly aged stuff that really wasn’t special at all (IMO). In those cases I just say thank you and keep my opinion to myself. Snobs rarely know they are snobs. While having scotch discussions (yes, that’s a thing), I have had a friend say “that’s a one string guitar” regarding a lack of complexity in a scotch. I DO NOT CARE!!!! I LOVE that “one string” and don’t give a crap if it isn’t a freaking London Philharmonic Orchestra of complexity. Lastly, it’s ok to buy a budget, low ABV scotch. I enjoy those as an “easy dram” just as much as I do a high ABV, high aged stated, expensive dram. Anyway, my rant is over. I feel better now.

    I am a snob, but I am a constructive one. If I find out that one likes a bottle which I have on my shelf while I don't like that whisky so much anymore, I always consider to give that bottle away. In general, it is a win win transaction as I do not like to have too many bottles I do not really like. So, I consider - for example - to give away my Aberlour 12 to a colleague. It is a perfectly good whisky, but I prefer other drams. I only drink whisky which I really enjoy as alcohol is, after all, a poison. Sometimes giving away a bottle which i dont like feels similar to buy a new one (it could btw well be the anticipation of buying a new bottle!)

What gets to me is when they just swig it down almost like a tequila shot. I am sitting savouring my dram and have drunk 10% of what I poured and I look over and their glass is already empty.

    Also, related to your very excellent “mystery” pour: people who refuse to drink blended whiskey. I believe the Maclean’s Nose is 70% single malt, 30% grain.

    Splendid video Geoff! Entertaining but also full of wisdom :)
    I don't necessarily hate the things in the list. I have "issues" of my own, you know...
    The one thing I absolutely hate is being told by somebody who drinks whisky to knock themselves out something like the following: "Oh, I don't like that whisky because it gave me awful hangover after we drank a couple of bottles the previous night. It must've been a fake." I hate alcohol abuse and I hate people judging a dram by the "quality" of the headache they had after getting themselves drunk.
    Cheers!

    Ackchtually !!! If you add only one or two ice cubes to your glass, the temperature delta is gonna make them melt really fast, whereas if you pack your glass with ice, it’s gonna stay cold for much longer, hence not melt as much ! A bit counter intuitive at first but makes perfect sense when you think about it

    If you are open to some nice criticism on pronunciation, the way you said Gaelic is the Irish way of pronouncing it. If it’s Irish you say Gay-lick, but for Scottish it’s Gah-lick, with an ‘ah’ sound. We have a Scottish woman in our tasting club who is fluent in Gaelic and she calls us out on that every time.

      I don't know if it's true, but others (there/here) have claimed a N. American pattern of favouring Irish Gaelic pronunciations over Scots Gaelic ones. Maybe it's just the proportion of 19-20C Irish immigrants to some parts?🤔

    My "of the moment" pet peeve is when you send a decent bottle half way round the world and you find out they are drinking it at a ridiculous dilution (we are talking full highball glass -yes, they do have glencairns- from a single dram pour). I only found this out last week so still a very open wound - no more Tamdhu 15, or any Tamdhu, for you there's nothing I can do about the Ledaig 10 that is currently in the Christmas balikbayan box.

    My wife started calling me a "whiskey snob" years ago, when I first started buying different kinds of glasses and comparing them to one another.
    I am admittedly very picky about how I consume whiskey, but I don't care how anyone else drinks it, so that's not a "snob" in my opinion.
    I honestly don't mind being called one either though.
