There’s a literal world of whisky out there, but while we know that’s cause for celebration it can also be a daunting prospect, particularly if you’re new to the category.
Thank you for your explanation for the differnt kinds of Whiskies. It would had been good adding Indian Whiskies, which have a very high percentage worldwide. The numbers speak for themselves. There are eight Indian whiskeys in the top 10 best-selling whiskeys. Only two Scots Johnnie Walker (third place) and Ballantines (10th place) represent the motherland of blended whiskey (see Drinks International)
Bourbon has to be aged for a minimum of two years to be labelled as straight bourbon, but there's no minimum for it to be bourbon. You could just pass the new make through a barrel and it would technically be bourbon. Japan also plays pretty fast and loose with what counts as "from Japan" so do your research before buying (though I think they might be starting to put more regulations in place).
I appreciate your feedback ,and sorry for the delay. Actually, if you watch the interview with Maggie, the president of the Bourbon Women's Association that I posted about a month ago, I recall she said something to the effect that you can just pass it through the barrel and it counts or something like that. As you said Cheers Curt
@@WinetastersChoice I think as long as they don’t label it ‘’Straight’’ bourbon, they could technically do it, but I don’t think it’s really done that much, I’ve never had any bourbon that wasn’t straight and at least 4 years old (‘’straight’’ and less than four years, it has to state the age so the vast majority of straight whiskey is at least 4 years old). Anyway, good info and video !
Canadian whisky has the fewest rules (most leeway) so it has the most notable differences from one brand to the next. Crown Royal, Canada House, SUPERB. Northern lights, Canadian Mist, NOT GOOD .
I’ve heard Vodka is a very good drink for avoiding hangovers but Trump claims to not drink alcohol and I think that is a very admirable trait. I think I’ll be avoiding all these and all this useless information ....a wise move.
This is an excellent and the information is broken down in an easy to understand manner
Thank you
Always good to pat yourself on the back.
Great straight-to-the-point teacher! Thank u! Now if you don't mind, I'm going for a shot of a single malt scotch whiskey.
Cheers. Thank you, kindly!! Yes, have a single malt for me too:)

Most Scotchs that I have tried have had a strong peat flavour to it. Is that typical of a scotch or can you get a less peat flavoured scotch?

The barrels also need to be new charred oak barrels where many others may be in used wine barrels etc.

Great video ✨🥃✨
Bourbon is so different than most whisky. Not many forms of alcohol I won't drink but bourbon is one I really dislike.
Thanks for watching. I have warmed up to bourbon over the past couple of years.
It’s probably the corn.
Interesting. Please cover Indian whiskey in another introduction.
Informative and interesting details, thanks.
I appreciate the feedback
Thanks
Id like to try them all
I agree:) Thanks for watching and commenting
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
🙏🏻
Thank you
Who gives a fuck as long as you get pissed 😂😂😂
For whatever reason, I never saw this comment. Odd.
but hey, you win comment of the year:)
Two years later you made me laugh
No wonder Ive always spelled whiskey with an E because when I heard that there's actually such a thing as Japanese whisky my mouth dropped. Lol
I always wondered myself. LOL. Thanks for watching. Curt

I appreciate that, my friend. Cheers, Curt

We're both technically correct
“Fun fact:
A Japanese whisky sold for $343,000 US dollars in, former British colony of, Hong Kong (China).”
Question: Who does the money go to? 🤔😆
Good question. Thanks for watching.

The best way to avoid hangovers is to avoid drinking too much alcohol
Please don't bring up politics on something unrelated like alcohol. That's like me discussing taxes on your mother's birthday,it makes zero sense 😑
