We have different name for the "heads and tails" thing, but I did know that. When we distill at home we usually "cut the head" based on the alcohol content... At certain ABV we know the bad part is gone and we don't use that for drinking. We use it for rubbing alcohol or stuff, requiring alcohol, that won't be consumed... I didn't know the term Mash Tun tho... You learn something new every day...
Good list that covers a lot of ground. Bruichladdich and Kilchoman, at least, are both pushing to make barley terroir a bigger consideration, so that's a term you hear more and more...
This is brilliant and really interesting. The E-150 really upsets some people but I have never really cared that much, especially if the Whisky is really good, like Dalmore for example.
It's not something that bothers me since it's typically in lower-end whiskies... not always, but typically. Strange to me to do something high end and add it though.
important for Islay peat heads: Heads, Hearts and Tails on Islay are called Foreshots, Spirit Run and Feints - Slàinte Mhath
Another good summary. Nicely done.
Thanks Steve!
Very well explained, thanks.

A dram is a measure of whisky that is agreeable to both host and guest!

My pleasure 😊
Just to be clear, a used bourbon barrel cannot be reused to make more bourbon but it can be used to make other whiskies.
I mean… he did say we can’t reuse them for Bourbon
Nice info. Very usefull. Thanks a lot & Cheers..😊👍👏👏

I'm not a traditional 'scotch' drinker. I prefer Irish, but this was so informative, and I enjoyed it. Thanks.
Terrific video Bill!!
Thanks Christine!

Now that's how a Dictonary on whiskey looks like 👍

@@TheWhiskeyDictionary right, for a higher $$ bottle I could see that being a bit more questionable for sure
