Really one of the best Dramface podcasts ever. Mr. Duff truly exposes himself as the man who loves whisky. Of course, I disagree with him often, but we do always agree that whisky is just the best.
Wonderful stuff guy's. A little ECBP geekery, 2017, was the first year of the current branding. I brought a C917 with me to Scotland in May 2022 to pour for everyone I encountered. It was opened at the Bon Accord with Roy and Ben (Whisky with Molly) and the last of it was left with Mandy at the Curly Coo in Stirling at around 1 am 😊.
Really like these multimedia podcasts. Some good hot takes to ponder over. I find once a whisky is over about 52-53% ABV I need to add water. I definitely couldn't handle drinking >60% whisky neat. I take my whisky, a small glass of water and a dropper with me to the couch and tinker around with it while watching TV. I think Roy should host the "I'm a distillery" next time. 😀 Cheers!
Really cool episode, quite a nice topic to touch on a lot of interesting whisky-geekery. ‘Hot’ whiskies for me are not so much purely related to ABV but describe drams that have an overarching ethanol note that i can’t get past. I’ve had a few like that and it’s not to do with age or strenght, some whiskies are just too ‘alcoholic’ in flavour. Enjoying high strength whiskies demand a bit of ‘technique’ that i reckon everyone needs to figure out for themselves
Thank you so much for this episode. Really don't know where to start with how much I enjoyed watching as each contributed such great pieces and Roy's poem at the end was such a fitting end 🙏
The most memorable 'hot' whisky for me has been the Glenfarclas 105. It took years of sipping, to bring the bottle level down to oxygenate, shaking the bottle, leaving the lid off etc just to make it drinkable. It certainly got better. The highest ABV in my possession at the moment is Cordona (from NZ) @ 63.9% ABV, it's hot too. I think the first high ABV that was drinkable neat for me was Bookers Noe bourbon in low/mid 60's. . Roy's take on Diageo from 1:09:35 is absolutely spot on.
Lads I’m reaching out again to pay compliments to this format, loving dramface right now. Keep up the amazing content and kudos as I appreciate your all busy with family, friends, work commitments and other projects
Lads, can’t thank you enough for another video podcast; elevates the banter to epic proportions 👌 Keep up the great work - it’s a dirty job, but somebody’s gotta do it 🤷♂️
Loved this again. From Rob's mic prowess to Roy's 4/10 poem at the end, every minute... Well, ALMOST every minute was a delight. Great hot takes! Fair warning Roy, I'll be demanding a Haiku be read at the end of every vPub in perpetuity. Who's with me?!
Watching this did get me thinking what was the highest ABV on my shelf. Like Gregor my strongest stuff is American and I thought it would be the Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Strength I have at 64.5 which was an Amazon bargain at £45. Actually turned out to be marginally beaten by a Blantons Straight From the Barrel at 66.25%. I know there has been an Elijah Craig Barrel Proof over 70% and that just seemed silly. Highest Scotch I have is a Bruichladdich Valinch at 62%.
Boys. You are looking at whisky in 2D. Let me show you the 3D side of whisky.... the vision of whisky is from a view of cultural and religious point of view. Whisky is the devil in a bottle. Whisky is poison in a bottle. Whisky is the moment of time. Well for me, it's a story in a bottle. The passion and hard work of the people that bottled it can never be told and understood. We can only imagine a day of the man living on Islay who woke up at 6am to go to work at port ellen for 7am for 30 years to then be told the whisky maket is declining and the factory is being closed. On his way home is plans how he will share this sadness with his wife and kids. He wonders what the future holds for him. He moves to mainland to find a job doing something new, something he doesn't want to do, but it pays the bills. Decades later the factory is opened to discover spectacular casks that have matured and the market is willing to pay stupid money for something that once cost £60. I love the history behind the devil that is resident in the bottle
Hot countries “ageing” their whisky faster. Well, like cooking you get very different results from pan-frying & from a slow roast or a stew. The slower the more flavour?

May I just say that I love that Gordon guy. He is completely bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

53:24 Nooooooo! Lol Romantic Roy. And then 1:03:10. I need a pee. Classic. 😂

I'm enjoying this video format. This was a great episode on the abv. I'll be drinking some JD here soon now 😅
Very promising with this new format of podcast where I get to watch it on my phone or tv.
Top drawer.
That EC tombstone is in my house.

1 hr 18 min in-“I don’t know humility”😂. Roy’s awesome. That was great.
Thanks again to go multimedia on this! Its just so much better that I think I'll just comment thanks every episode. Cheers!

Great podcast as always Gents. My most potent whisky I’ve got at the moment is a sherry matured Ardlair at 65.5%..
Even more enjoyable now I have had the pleasure meeting all of you.
And what an eerie familiar Seve package😇

Roy’s mike looks like he’s talking into a big black Dildo
Well done guys!!!!

Also playing "I'm a Distillery" with Roy is painful to watch.
