I've always enjoyed spirits. Watching your channel for a few years now has encouraged me to truly appreciate what I am consuming. Most spirit youtubers will add unnecessary amounts of banter in their videos, but you have always been consistently great when analyzing and describing a product for your viewers. Easy to understand and comprehend, and most importantly, very informative. Thank you LiquorHound!
I am mostly a vodka collector. I have tried gin but just didn’t have a palate relatable to go on at the time. I’ve been somewhat afraid of whiskeys for my entire life but more recently taken interest after I found a full unopened bottle of bookers 01/2017 in my neighbors dumpster of all places lol. This was a bright new world for me. What an amazing aroma and the color was mesmerizing. Anywho, I completely enjoy your channel. No clowns laughing at themselves. 🤷♂️
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve learned quite a bit from watching your videos. Great tips on how to spot a knock off glass as well. Keep up the great work!
That’s what I call “hitting for the cycle”. Excellent job and indepth explanations Chris. Especially liked the coverage on the Eisch glass. Cheers All!
What you describe experiencing with the Luigi is what I feel like I experience with the glens. They just don't work for me for high ABV stuff. I really appreciate this type of video. I've never given much consideration to having a dominant nostril. Makes perfect sense.
The right glass, the broad reference point that comes with experience, and the nosing and tasting techniques really help, but ultimately you have to have someone like you, with innate affinity and natural ability, to pick up on the most subtle notes. That’s why so many people simply tend to fake it, or else come up with the goofiest and/or snobbiest descriptions. I think in the end it all boils down to enjoying the spirit that you like and the way that you prefer to drink it.
have you every thought about designing a course that comes complete with a kit? I really think that would be immensely helpful and popular course. I would personally be very interested in that.
Great tips. I try to take just the right sized sip: too big and I can't coordinate it in my mouth; too little and it gets thins out by saliva. I use the wine-taster 'air slurp' method but not to excess as it can make low spiced spirits seem high in spice. Two Liquorhound practices I've adopted are 1) those little breaths in after the swallow, and 2) the little pouch of coffee beans for re-setting the nose. All hail the Hound!
Superbly informative video. Passed on to me by a friend of yours who is slowly, costing me a lot of money converting me to scotch, the way apparently you did to him! Thanks, helped me a lot on how to taste properly.
I’ve owned them, but didn’t find them particularly useful. To me the nose gets lost in the flared glass and the thick lip, just wasn’t for me. Now if you like your whisky/ey with a few cubes of ice, the double walled design comes in handy to prevent the glass from sweating. But if that’s you’re thing, I’d recommend the Duo Glass - as it can hold a bigger rock. And no I’m not sponsored by them, but also have that glass.

I didn’t check around for pricing, but Amazon has them. Cheers! smile.amazon.com/dp/B00C9VCP2E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_BBHCV4PQB7RVB8FP72X6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Agreed. The WhiskyTuber community is now huge, but you're top 5 easy. In the same rarefied company of Ralfy and Roy from Aquavitae. Keep it up!
Love being in good company! Thank you and cheers!
This was great. Done by none other than the master himself.
Fascinating...Great question, the glass & the nosing method too...Thanks, Chris !

Thank you! This is awesome and very insightful... Really helped with upping my nose/taste game!
You’re welcome and I’m glad I could help. Take care and cheers!

Thank you ! you touched upon issues that I had never heard before. Very informative! I recently discovered your channel, will visit often!
Glad it was helpful! Cheers!
Great video LH. I was actually watching this video and employing the tips on a dram of Saints Alley The Herald 😉.
Awesome and thanks for the support! Cheers!

Excellent Excellent 👏👏👏 I enjoyed your video very much and I'm a beginner in this whiskey journey
Glad it was helpful and cheers!
What’s the name of the Glencairn covers you mentioned again? Thanks!
CairnCraft glass covers. Cheers!

I noticed you seem to "chew" the spirit quite a bit. Could you describe that process a bit?
Thoughts on the Norlan glass?
I’ve owned them, but didn’t find them particularly useful. To me the nose gets lost in the flared glass and the thick lip, just wasn’t for me.

How the heck do you get this stuff?
Do you have a link to that German glass?
I didn’t check around for pricing, but Amazon has them. Cheers! smile.amazon.com/dp/B00C9VCP2E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_BBHCV4PQB7RVB8FP72X6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Hey, could you do a review on a rum called, Juggling King Rum? It’s a great seed to bottle rum, made in Guernsey!
100% worth a try
Sorry, I don’t think I get that one here in Texas. But if I can ever get my hands on one, I’ll see about reviewing it. Cheers!
@@LiquorHound think it’s only sold online at the moment, even in the U.K. so may be able to get it delivered.
Drinking sense makes us civilised and also gives chance to sense it's taste
👍
Of course, pallettes are very different. I have never ever picked up coconut in any whisky and I have tried over 200 different bottles...
Do you get drunk?
