This video is one of the greatest hidden gems of youtube. There's something just so pleasing about watching an older European gentleman enjoying the hell out of a high school/college drinking staple like Fireball. Besides that contextual note though, it's just a true pleasure watching a whisky reviews with no pretension or snobbery. Just pure wholesome enjoyment. 5 out of 5 stars!
I get the feeling that this guy could crash a frat house party and start critiquing the liquor, and before an hour, the music would be gone and he would absolutely rule the room.
Taxes are insane in Canada. It is actually cheaper to send it out of the country to have it bottled. My country is not an easy place to own a business.
no offense but the german accent is by far the worst in the english language... i moved to germany age 4, grew up there and it's a wonderful country with wonderful people, but the accent....just no.
I don't know anything about whiskey I don't drink alcohol but I love listening to Horst talk and especially him swirling around the whiskey in his mouth. I guess it's an ASMR thing which I'm starting to think I have.
I agree with other's comments: it's refreshing that you're not a snob that can't appreciate a flavored whiskey for what it is. I have lots of expensive whisky, but still love fireball also. Crown Royal just came out with a limited edition Salted Caramel that is WONDERFUL!
I love this man. Horst Luening is a true idol for the whisky lover and passionate language learner that is an anti-snob...most people with his exceptional dominance of English as a second language and often elitist hobby choose to be obnoxious douchebags. Yet, he is so practical, cool and humble. Awesome dude
Love the German accent! My grandparents are from Germany. I'm originally from South Carolina. Love all your videos but this is probably the funniest. "Hot some chili in it chili pots" Never gets old.
I went from watching you taste the Lagavulin 16 to this. What a complete and total contrast! I actually have a bottle of Fireball in my cabinet, but I'm not a fan. Interesting tasting Horst!
Sure, but remember, quality over quantity. As soon as one needs to drink in order to do anything in their daily life (coping mechanism) then you have a big problem, other than that go ahead.
This stuff is hardly whiskey. That being said, you give the best review of this out of any other professional whiskey taster I've ever seen. I love your accent, I can listen to you talk all day. It makes your videos all the more enjoyable :-)
Absolutely not disappointed at all in the comments. We're all here appreciating this man and his liking of Fireball. Came here myself cause I didn't like it the first time and now this second time, it's actually really good. No snobbery here just cause it's cheap.
Fireball goes best with a sweet cider in my experience. The apple/cinnamon combination is fun, it's quite a silly liqueur and I find embracing the silliness brings out the best in it. That's why it's a classic shot drink, just fun
Horst, just FYI "Red Hots" is a ubiquitous candy brand in the US and this liqueur tastes almost exactly like it. Due to this it's a favorite of college age people and young adults here.
This man is pure class he's making this sound like it's something desirable. Lol in my opinion this guy is far above any of the other whiskey reviewers
I have watched several reviews on whiskeys and I determined that there is something wrong with me. The ones that get bad reviews are the ones that I like the most. My two favorites are Southern Comfort and Fireball. I even mix them.
I don't normally watch videos like this, no idea why it was suggested to me, but as someone who has had Fireball before; listening to you describe it before you took a sip made me smell and taste it from memory. Ill have to watch more of your videos! Cheers!
The glass he's drinking it from haha high society much I like it, meanwhile HS and college kids in America inject this shit by the gallon straight no chase
theOGwelshman that's a sad existence if you pound shitty liquor just to be get drunk and feel sick. I like to enjoy my liquor and try not to get sick. Also real men don't do what the kids do.
I tried this stuff at Dramfest in Christchurch, New Zealand. I remember an appallingly strong kick of artificial cinnamon flavouring and not much else. It was quite a contrast to the many fine single malts and bourbons I tried that day...
That "What the hell..." is the best part for sure haha. My own reaction as well when I hear its a product of Canada but bottled in Norway... I only heard bad things about Fireball, but the first time I tried it, it kinda tasted amazing to me. Not something I'd drink at home, but a shot in a bar at times why not.
I can't get over it being bottled in Norway. Nothing is bottled in Norway, nothing is made here. It's too expensive. So why the fuck was it bottled here? 😂 😂
Haha! Love it! B.C. Canada🇨🇦! This is a very popular drink here! Nice to see your review of it and that you enjoyed it so much. Many people can't actually handle it. 😎👍

I laught so hard at "enjoying the hell out of". That's how you have to describe it. On the point. :D
Has some chilis in it…
I thought I was crazy thinking Fireball was good as hell , but now I have an elite on my side to confirm.
Dat Guy it’s so good, right!?
SAME! I knew I wasn’t crazy!!
Bro I keep a big bottle in my room and get a taste every single day
same people just see it as a shitty college kid drink
That's gotta be one of the best microphone in the world.
It is a supercardioid polar pattern.
i could hear the blood pumping through his capillaries.
alfred rodriguez made me lmao!
Yep, it adds to the typical tasting dimensions (the appearance, the nose, the palate) a new dimension "the ear" ;-)
A wise choice of mic polar pattern when you're shooting in an indoor space prone to echo. Much warmer than a shotgun style mic.
I could listen to this dude all day. What a soothing delivery
seriously though. never thought I'd see a relaxing fireball review
Camgore 88 I fucking hate his voice, it's so frustrating when he stutters, I just wanna knock him unconscious
DTE Damn man.
Their is some ASMR shit going on here.
Captain Zeke Always one....
I get the feeling that this guy could crash a frat house party and start critiquing the liquor, and before an hour, the music would be gone and he would absolutely rule the room.
As a fellow fraternity man, I 100% can confirm
I just can’t get into drinking that fireball whiskey. It’s just too damn sweet.
lol yeah... maybe... But he will also critique the music i think :) =D
He would probably make the guys cry and make them change careers
I can imagine all the lads just gathering around this actual legend watching him 😂
"Bottled in Norway, produce of Canada. What the hell?"
Exactly what I thought.
Same but his was more of a eh what the hell!
There is a town in norway literally called Hell
easy...its shipped in bulk there then bottled...probably a way to save some incredibly high non sensical money grabbing tax
@Stormy D. Ever tried Kirschwasser?
Taxes are insane in Canada. It is actually cheaper to send it out of the country to have it bottled. My country is not an easy place to own a business.
I didn't know one could speak on Fireball in such a manner.
I’m totally blown away that a man just reviewed Fireball like a single malt whisky. What a professional. 👍
Fireball: “What happens next is up to you”
Horst: “A headache probably”🤣🤣🤣
Everything about this video is fantastic. From the "build up" to the drink from the comparisons to the reactions. Thank you for your time.
God this is hilarious. Juxtaposition is the essence of comedy.
Im sorry, but your accent is simply amazing.
why are you sorry
Creative OG It gave him an erection, he's simply apologising. I must apologise aswell.
no offense but the german accent is by far the worst in the english language... i moved to germany age 4, grew up there and it's a wonderful country with wonderful people, but the accent....just no.
@mr moxie if you mean dialects ,yea germany has good ones but i was talking about the german accent
I like the accent
I don't know anything about whiskey I don't drink alcohol but I love listening to Horst talk and especially him swirling around the whiskey in his mouth. I guess it's an ASMR thing which I'm starting to think I have.
Total unintentional ASMR whiskey was never meant to be triangular
I’ve quit my job so I can watch this video full-time. Eight hours per day.
God bless
lmfao
*SWISHING INTENSIFIES*
I can listen to him swish all day
@@arctic_shadow578 I know right he's clearly enjoying the whisky so much I can't look away.
MHHH MHH! HOT HOT
i always mute that part
Now this is unintentional ASMR at its finest!
This is heaven to my brain
This is a rare case of good asmr
It isn't asmr, this guy does proper reviews.
Fuck Haters maaan i thought i was the only one 😂
CockatooDude. It doesn’t matter. Asmr hits when it hits. International or not
I had to hit pause a few times watching this one and wipe away tears! One of Horst's funniest! Keep up the good work my Bavarian homeboy.
I call him the "Bob Ross of Whiskys". :-)
Fireball is a fun party shot whiskey in my humble opinion.
I agree with other's comments: it's refreshing that you're not a snob that can't appreciate a flavored whiskey for what it is.
I have lots of expensive whisky, but still love fireball also.
Crown Royal just came out with a limited edition Salted Caramel that is WONDERFUL!
THE most ASMR voice on the internet. I could sleep to this man’s gentle, warm, breathy voice. Mmmm
I love this man. Horst Luening is a true idol for the whisky lover and passionate language learner that is an anti-snob...most people with his exceptional dominance of English as a second language and often elitist hobby choose to be obnoxious douchebags. Yet, he is so practical, cool and humble. Awesome dude
He seems like a really nice guy!
Horst's dry humor never gets old! LOL
it's not an insult mate. Relax and take a deep breath.@@sdljvbnskvdsdvkjva5131
[Reading] "What happens next is up to you." [Pauses. Smirks] Headache probably. L O L
This guy absolutely kills me. I have never laughed so hard during a liquor review. He's my new favorite.
It's not a complete day until I watch based Horst swish whiskey. "Wonderful!!!"
Love the German accent! My grandparents are from Germany. I'm originally from South Carolina. Love all your videos but this is probably the funniest. "Hot some chili in it chili pots" Never gets old.
Fuck buzzfeed version this man is making it alive
This. Is. The Greatest review of anything on so many levels. I love him
I went from watching you taste the Lagavulin 16 to this. What a complete and total contrast!
I actually have a bottle of Fireball in my cabinet, but I'm not a fan. Interesting tasting Horst!
Taste like crap don't it!!!
I should take up drinking
Appox Box same I'm 14 btw
Sure, but remember, quality over quantity. As soon as one needs to drink in order to do anything in their daily life (coping mechanism) then you have a big problem, other than that go ahead.
Appox Box you really should.
Do it I’m 12 and I do it when my moms out of town
@@creativeeey I'm calling TH-cam and we're going to find out who you are and tell her.
I love your reviews, as an 18 year old whiskey lover it's really fun watching proffesional reviews
This stuff is hardly whiskey. That being said, you give the best review of this out of any other professional whiskey taster I've ever seen. I love your accent, I can listen to you talk all day. It makes your videos all the more enjoyable :-)
That is because it's a whiskey liquor the most difference is that you take it as a shot but a real whiskey should be enjoyed
HAHA this is hilarious. @4:02 "...so, I'm not afraid of -- **HAWH** !!"
His reaction immediately upon first taste had me dying 😂😂 new subscriber
I love the pause @ 2:02 haha
"Horst loading translation, please wait..."
Francis Ducharme :-)
I thought that he may have filmed several tastings, in the moments leading up to his Fireball review. :-)

I love your accent.
Also your reaction when you first sniff the cap, heh
"Sweetness...that's a TEN."
*tip tip tip*
I enjoyed a sodie pop while watching this video.
It's a masterpiece.
Avetarx that cream
Activate all 9000 tastebuds
We always take flasks of this skiing with us. it's great for the chair lifts.
Best wishes from the UK. You and your son are the best whiskey reviewers on TH-cam. Keep those videos coming.
Brilliant video! As always, the honesty and humor is rich. Thank you!
Absolutely not disappointed at all in the comments. We're all here appreciating this man and his liking of Fireball. Came here myself cause I didn't like it the first time and now this second time, it's actually really good. No snobbery here just cause it's cheap.
The "lighter flick" on the second shot had me laughing...breathing fire like a dragon, good job !
Fireball goes best with a sweet cider in my experience. The apple/cinnamon combination is fun, it's quite a silly liqueur and I find embracing the silliness brings out the best in it. That's why it's a classic shot drink, just fun
Best review on TH-cam
oh god your voice is so amazing
He could do a mean Werner Herzog if he tried hard enough.
Wow, he actually made Fireball sound classy, lol. Hey, it's a guilty pleasure of mine too.
One of my favorite ASMR on TH-cam.
OMG! I love this channel and he is the only person I trust with reviews and his passion truly shows.
First video I ever found of this guy and he is the man lol
Being fairly new to high proof drinks, I love how Fireball's flavor can just power through the taste of the alcohol.
I loved the way he paused for so long at 2:01.........like he really didn't want to drink this stuff
Going to taste this fireball for the first time in front of the fire this summer night 🔥
Finally a green light to drink antifreeze
Horst, just FYI "Red Hots" is a ubiquitous candy brand in the US and this liqueur tastes almost exactly like it. Due to this it's a favorite of college age people and young adults here.
love this guy, he is so cool, fun, smart, has style and i LOVE his mouth sounds!!!!!!
Horst, thank you for your videos. I absolutely love watching you.
This man is pure class he's making this sound like it's something desirable. Lol in my opinion this guy is far above any of the other whiskey reviewers
Maybe the best review of anything I have ever seen.
I have watched several reviews on whiskeys and I determined that there is something wrong with me. The ones that get bad reviews are the ones that I like the most. My two favorites are Southern Comfort and Fireball. I even mix them.
I don't normally watch videos like this, no idea why it was suggested to me, but as someone who has had Fireball before; listening to you describe it before you took a sip made me smell and taste it from memory. Ill have to watch more of your videos! Cheers!
I love that the most popular video on this channel is a review of Fireball 😂
Probably because most of the whiskies he tastes cost more per SHOT than fire ball costs per BOTTEL.......
This review gave me a big smile the whole time.
I like to revisit this now and then. It’s a true classic
4:05 we see someone who has just enjoyed Fireball more than anyone in history, and he didn't even drink it yet.
This guy's having FUN!
LOL did not picture this guy reviewing Fireball. Props for being thorough!
I love fireball. Love to see a reviewer have a good time with a thing I like
6:40.... haha...the expression on your face is PRICELESS!! love it...
Great review Horst. I recently found this and both my wife and I loves it. She even experimented making sangria with Fireball, the result was amazing.
Seriously though, where's the microphone?
Inside his mouth.
Plot twist: he IS the microphone.
In his throat probably.
I feel like this man is in a bathroom and he supports his whisky usage by recording vomiting sound effects with the microphone in the toilet.
Has to be a shotgun microphone. Something like the disk shaped microphones they use on NFL sidelines
Your great. Love your videos keep it going 💯💯💯💯
Thank you!
The glass he's drinking it from haha high society much I like it, meanwhile HS and college kids in America inject this shit by the gallon straight no chase
theOGwelshman that's a sad existence if you pound shitty liquor just to be get drunk and feel sick. I like to enjoy my liquor and try not to get sick. Also real men don't do what the kids do.
This is first vid of yours I’ve ever seen and am only 45 seconds in and I already subbed lol something about you man
5:38 his breathing reminds me of a doctor checkup...
Prostate?
why is your doctor smelling you at check ups
jishthepickled 😂😂
1:23 me when I tell my friends we gonna ignite the night
I could watch this guy all day
*Hot! Some chilli in it, chilli pods!* Still delivering the goods in 2024.
Fireball I love it around a bonfire in the dead of Winter! keeps your soul warm :-D
I tried this stuff at Dramfest in Christchurch, New Zealand. I remember an appallingly strong kick of artificial cinnamon flavouring and not much else. It was quite a contrast to the many fine single malts and bourbons I tried that day...
I would love to see you review R&R Apple. It's really popular with the younger college market here in the U.S! Great video as always.
I love a hard cider with a shot of fireball. Taste like apple pie!
Jetski Jay probably wearing panties while you're drinking it???
Next week he reviews Jagermeister.
i don't drink this stuff, but this is still one of my favorite of Horst's reviews. cheers!
Epic review
I love getting drunk and watching your videos its so relaxing
Very entertaining review, wasn't sure what to expect from this one.
best reviewer, best accent, best voice .. best best best
Fireball and skiing go hand in hand in Canada
Thanks For the Review of Fireball Whisky Liqueur! It's one of my favorites. I enjoy these reviews!
That "What the hell..." is the best part for sure haha. My own reaction as well when I hear its a product of Canada but bottled in Norway...

Horst du bist einfach eine Legende
U either hate fireballs, or you love em. Personally I love them.
I hate it
‘One to taste twice’ - what a legend!
Gotta love the honest reactions! I like the cinnamon and chili burn in Fireball, but otherwise it's too sweet for my taste.
what a heavenly voice this guy has
Haha! Love it! B.C. Canada🇨🇦! This is a very popular drink here! Nice to see your review of it and that you enjoyed it so much. Many people can't actually handle it. 😎👍
