Stop using some kind of proof shit. Its Outdated and no one uses it except from usa. 40% is 40% (40% Alkohol, or ABV) and not some stupid abv X2 = 80 proof. Some drunk dude came up with multiplying it.
From someone that drinks both scotch typically is a much more mellow and smoother sipper than bourbon. That “Kentucky hug” can be very strong at times. I think most bourbons need to be watered down a bit. Some at 125 proof is way too strong. This is just my experience. To each his/her own.
How can it be tie for smoothness if scotch whisky is smoother, by your own statement? FYI, whisky and bourbon whiskey come in all prices. You can buy Bells for as low as $5 and Evan Williams for $7. If you want more expensive, the sky’s your limit.
Hang on, wait. Unless I missed it or am completely wrong… in order for whiskey to be considered bourbon it must also be stored in brand new American oak barrels, never reused. Other whiskeys might be placed in recycled, and certainly bourbons can be double oaked or toasted, or placed in rum casks, etc. on their second round. However, the stringent requirement for bourbon to be in new oak barrels is a qualifying factor along with the mash bill being 51% minimum of corn. Most have a much higher mash percentage around 70% which gives bourbon a smoother pull and experience. Along with the versatile mash combinations of barley, rye, and wheat it separates itself strong with unique expressions compared to Scotch. The video also did not include that Bottle in Bond requirement of 4 years minimum with 100 proof/50 ABV was designed to have it gov. regulated for QC. Lastly, while bourbon is generally cheaper, most bourbon connoisseurs drink slightly more expensive bourbon than entry floor offerings and at a much higher proof than 40 ABV. Many enjoy cask strength and barrel proofs along with private selects, state or store picks that are all quite special. Nothing wrong with a 93/94 sipped near that’s a banger, but lot people seek the flavor bombs of 100-120+ proof with a rock/cube or neat to sip. After sipping on a 115 and enjoying the nose and expressions a 80 proof Scotch is as easy to drink as Diet Coke. Just my opinion, and I grew up on Scotch and my family is Scottish, removed by only one generation on my mom’s side. *I could be absolutely wrong tho! Just my $.02.
After watching this video, I think I may be a Scotch type of person. For MANY years, all I drank was light beer. I'll be 50 this year and just bought my first bottle of whiskey last week - Gentleman's Jack. I never knew why, but something about Scotch always sounded appealing to me. I've smelled it a few times, but I've never really drank it. I love Smokey and Spicy flavors and don't really care too much for the bitterness I taste in whiskey although I'm becoming more accustomed to it. Looks like I have to start doing my research on scotch.
I'm thinking the same for myself. I've been trying some bourbon. My favorite was Jim Beam Devils Cut of all things. I love the PUNCH of spice and harshness of it...maybe I should try scotch?
I have friends that drink expensive scotch and even though they act like it’s awesome - it’s not. I’ve sipped many of their trophy scotch and have NEVER liked any of them. I believe when I’m chill axing NO ONE need approve of or pressure me to go with the mobs opinions. So over the years I have toured the adult beverage industry with only myself to please regardless of “public opinion”. Consider these selections and save yourself THOUSANDS of dollars… Bourbon: I ♥️ Weller & 1792 both fantastic and not pricey. Gin: Gordon’s Tequila: ♥️ 1942 hands down but it’s EXPENSIVE to consume, George Clooney “fabricated” a tequila that is VERY similar but it is “manipulated” - still pricey but enjoyable. Vodka: Grey Goose & Sky Goose is a “little” pricey, Sky is very good and more economical. Gods peace 2U & Cheers
I also just tried a rye bourbon, Bullet Rye, for the first time. It delivers that nice spice I want but it's more on the back end. It's like when you first sip it tastes just like regular bourbon then leaves you with spice. I really like it!
@@catcola1061 It was just ok. I actually prefer Crown XO over everything right now. I like the taste of Remy Martin 1738 Cognac, but it seems to sit on my stomach for a while. Elijah Craig Bourbon is also one I'm liking.
Love scotch with a dash of water and a good cigar. Bourbon is too sweet. Expensive as hell. Never had a hangover or headache drinking the quality stuff.
Bourbon is higher proof, sweater, and cheaper. So I can afford a longer aged bottle. Plus the climate in southern US is more conducive for fermentation. Sweet Carmel and vanilla flavors make a cigar pairing ideal. The charring of the barrels adds another delicious flavor. Don't get me wrong a good bottle of scotch is amazing. I just can't afford the longer aging it requires.
I'm a kidney transplant patient. It's been 4 years now since i have my new kidney. And I've never tried any frink. I don't like vodkas and tequilas cuz i have smelled some of them from friends glass. But i love scotch and bourbon just by how they are pronounced seems wealthy. Could anyone please suggest me some, with low alcohol percentage and something tasty. Please don't judge.
I also think like you, I think that everyone has their own drink habits according to their character. Does anyone have any suggestions for a soft odorless whiskey?
_I always avoided bourbon never drunk it, but I’ve drunk many different whiskey, the worst whiskey I’ve ever tasted was Crown Royal/Canada! nevertheless, I tasted Bourbon two weeks ago, this week I bought four bottles of bourbon woodford 🥃_
The title is the same as “seagull vs bird vs crow” or “Toyota vs car vs Honda”. All three are whiskey. Scotch is whisky, bourbon is whiskey, Irish whisky is whisky, Canadian whisky is whisky.
Since most whiskey is tripple distilled to get rid of toxic substances, the grains, such as corn, rye barley, etc don't matter much. Some scotch's have a smokey taste because of burning peat to dry the barley. Most of the rest of whiskeys taste will come from the barrels used for aging. Bourbon producers must use new oak barrels. Most other whiskey producers employ barrels formerly used for bourbon or wine to reduce costs and add flavor. I personally prefer whiskey aged in wine barrels.
Imagine sticking your nose up to an ashtray. That's what scotch tastes and smells like. But that is what alot of whiskey drinkers like, because alot of men like to enjoy a glass of scotch while smoking a cigar. And they go hand and hand.
All victims of peer pressure - when I was a kid I had to disregard ALL of my senses to start smoking. At the age of 12 I didn’t have ANY sense. That was a long time ago. Don’t tell me something tastes great when it doesn’t just because you got suckered into mob mentality.
@@C4RDUDELOL, there is no "all three". Bourbon is an American whiskey, and Scotch is whisky from Scotland. There are plenty of specific details about any particular type of whiskey, but whiskey is a pretty broad category with lots of variety. Honestly you could easily get 6 different bottles of bourbon and have a pretty good variety. And the same goes for Scotch.
Bourbon has to be aged for atleast 4 years. In un used new white oak charred barrels. Bourbon has to have atleast a 51 percent corn in the mashbill. But different bourbons have different mashbills, a bourbon like makers mark for example is a wheated bourbon, which also contains wheat in the mashbill. Bourbon is gonna be more of a caramel, toffee, oak pallet, as of scotch you get more of a smokey flavor with an ashtray type of taste in the pallet. Try Johnny Walker 18 yr old for a first time scotch and you will be pleased. As for bourbon try Some eagle rare or Old Forester. Definitely different but bourbon takes the cake over scotch any day for me. But that JW 18 platinum scotch is actually 1 of my favorite whiskeys all time. This video is wrong about bourbon aged 4 months to 2 years. Bourbon has to be aged atleast 4 years an can't be over 125 proof. I grew up in Kentucky and my grand dad is a bourbon guru, and Also there is a difference if a bourbon is made anywhere else other than Kentucky, KY being the KY straight bourbon whiskey, and other places can't call it straight bourbon whiskey. But can still be considered a bourbon as long as the mashbill is 51 percent corn.
As long as bourbon is barrelled correctly, aging really has no requirement for how long or less. It can go for any amount of time. But, there are two exceptions to this - straight bourbon whiskey has to be aged for a minimum of two years, and bottled-in-bond must be aged for at least four years.
Bourbon is not the winner. Scotch is 100% the winner. Bourbon Is for high schoolers that are trying to get trashed. Scotch is for men who are trying to relax after a hard day. Bourbon makes me gag. Scotch makes me smile.
Bourbon is for kids , scotch is for a man who knows what he likes. If you cant drink it neat then it isnt a treat. Add 4 drops of water to bring out the best.
I stopped listening to this nonsense after "Scotch has more smokey flavours!". Seriously, we've not even reached the one minute mark. What an embarrassment when trying to make an educational video (at least that's what I assume).
Bourbon winnner? This must be an American channel ..... Bourbon has nothing to do whisky....it is just different beverage. I am not saying it is bad, it is just not Whisky and is a poor people drink, like for the hillbillies
What?!? Surely you aren't saying that whisky is distilled and not fermented! Or that American bourbons are smokier than lowland whiskys??? Yeah, I just got through the first minute of the video. 😆
I can't believe he seriously gave every point to bourbon instead of scotch.. Just shows how entitled he is about his nationality. Scotch is a beverage that comes close to whiskey, bourbon is something a 16 year old would drink. Scotch and whiskey are for more mature people who enjoy a nice drink. I do orefer scotch to whiskey since its more refined in flavour.
Was this video script written by something like ChatGPT? It’s mindless. I mean, the title is “scotch vs whiskey vs bourbon” but it should just be “scotch vs bourbon”. There’s no “vs whiskey” going on… and that’s just the start. Horrible video.
Another crappy AI generated video.. It's also wrong on many counts, including when it says bourbon has to be over 80%, which is false, it needs to be at least 40%, which is 80 PROOF.
Regarding bourbon, you forgot to mention they need to be aged in new charred oak barrels. Otherwise it’s not a bourbon.
Good point.
Also made in the USA
👍 and it makes the difference compared to the cheap 💩
Right, for at least two years, though most of it is aged longer than that.
I Like a Bottle Scotch Whisky at Christmas Time Holidays and Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey in the Fall & Winter Time.

agree ..i also pref scotch for the same reasons
Having a nice smooth drink is always on my agenda when I am picking what I want to enjoy. I have to agree that a high proof needs to be softened up.

Scotch is definitely way smoother.

Scotch, bourbon, rye are all classified as "whiskey/whisky". When referring specifically to scotch you omit the "e".
I like single malt scotch no peaty. I don't drink blended whisky. For me, the barley gives better taste.

You say bourbon must be 80% ABV, but that’s not true. It must be 80 proof, which is twice the ABV, so the ABV must be 40%
Laphroaig 16 is on another level to any bourbon. Change my mind
“Age: Scotch is aged for at least 3 years, bourbon can be aged as little as 4 months. It’s a TIE!” Wtf?
As a canadian I like both .....but will now boycot as much US products as possible bourbon included .

Love 'em all- but Irish Whiskey is the ultimate for us !
You meant 40% not 80%. You meant to say 80 proof, right?
