no rye though. Is rye really such a misfits in the whisky family? A whisky that is that odd member of the family you only see on a few specific occasions?
What I love about seeing master distillers pick (mostly) easily obtained stuff is that it's a healthy unavoidable reminder that, SOMETIMES, not always but sometimes, popular stuff is popular for a reason.
I used to live a short walk from Glenfarclas distillery and would often take visiting friends on tours of the place and walk home through the woods. When I drink their 12, I always get a hint of tobacco and oak, which is ironic because the Glenfarclas tasting room is panelled in oak they recovered from the smoking-room of a pre-war ocean liner. I like the 12 but I think the 21 is excellent. That's more Seville oranges and a walk through the woods. Talking of Speyside, one to watch out for is Ballindalloch which will come online in a couple of years. It is a single estate distillery 2 miles from Glenfarclas and less than a mile from Cragganmore (another excellent distillery). I hear lots of very good things about the place and the quality of the spirit is excellent. Anyway, I digress. I'm new to the channel and really enjoying it. Sláinte!
11:30 Rather than distilling hemp, I've thought before about using some of the dry, waste material (stalks and stems) from production to burn to dry and smoke the grains for a whiskey instead of peat or wood. Worked on a hemp farm before and they would just burn all the waste material at the end in a big burn pile and the smell would be great.
I've watched many of your videos. I love how respectful you are to the people who distill such great whiskeys and how the whole experience feels like a learning event. I learn more about whiskey every time I watch your channel.
10:35 I am not too sensitive for the sulphur, and I therefore I like Glenfarclas 12, 15 and so on. Another distillery that has affordable age-statement sherry bombs is Glengoyne.
I moved from Texas to Colorado this year. It really is wild how good the Colorado single malt scene is. Only thing that would make it better is if Talnua could get some distribution down where I'm at. Thankfully it's only an hour drive to the distillery.
Talnua! So glad more and more people are seeing the wonderful whiskey they are producing. I'm going to enjoy how easy it is to get their special releases because it won't stay that way.
My first Scotch was Laphroaig 10 a few years ago. Before that the only whiskey I had was Wild Turkey 101 and Woodford Double Oak. I absolutely loved the aroma and the taste of the Laphroaig. It was so different from anything I had ever had before. I still prefer 10 to any other Laphroaig, and I think it is the best value in a whiskey that I have ever had (I will say that Uigeadail and the Bruchladdich whiskeys that I've had have been better tasting to me but not a better value).
What a pleasant surprise! I go back to the original every once in a while, and that's what I thought I clicked, only to find out there is now an episode 2!! 🤩
one of my first whiskey was if i recall it correctly a laphroaig 12. but just the peat and smoke remind me of ireland when i visit my brother there and friends. still love it to this day.
Glenfarclas is my Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde whisky. I love the Christmas cake flavors but it could be very winey and the alcohol could become the primary note even at 40%. By the comments I heard, I think you were lucky to have a good bottle and when that happened, it’s wonderful. The Stranahan offers you the opportunity to experiment with oxydation. I remember a bottle I had, I think it was a virgin oak cask, that I drank over a year. At the time passed, the most amazing banana flavor grew. That whisky is really well done and aged with beauty. As for the Laphroiag 10 yo CS, just pour me a dram… Yes… Just a wee bit more… There you are. 😁
I love you guys. seriously though I stopped drinking whiskey for awhile I still bought it and added to my collection so I've a lot to choose from and drink but no one I know drinks just whiskey always mix it with this or that so they don't taste the whiskey (drink what ya like but don't mix a whiskey that's hundo) so I tend to just drink at 3 am while watching your videos so I drink with ya at least. I appreciate your show and entertainment I hope pray and wish for the success of all your endeavors yall deserve it.
I've had all of these whisk(e)ies, and I have to say... Emma's pick is the correct one. I do appreciate Glenfarclas, but I'd probably go for the 15 or the 17 over the 12 far and away. The 12 is totally doable, but the 17 is going to make you say "Holy shit, this distillery is waaaay underrated." Stagg Jr. is definitely the best bourbon on this list...
I was on a United flight and ordered my first glenfarclas dram. It surprised me how much I liked it. I assumed because I could get it on the flight it would suck. I didn’t at all. I am a fan now.
Emma’s love of Laphroaig got me into peated scotch. Still on the very beginning of my whisky adventure, but I am now a huuuuuuuge (boondocks saints reference) fan of the peat.
Jonathan picking Stagg Jr makes so much sense to me. That was the first, as Daniel called it "Wall of Flavor", I really nerded out on. Now Harbinger is a mainstay in my cabinet.
Yeah, you can ferment cannabis leaves. There's an guy in India who ferments Bud.... I think the fermentation process decarboxylates the cannabis (hemp) and makes it orally active.
My feelings about Laphroaig are that its nose is like the mink-oil boot waterproofing...very creosote-like, per Lapsang Souchong tea. So, I'm obviously not a typical Islay Scotch drinker. The Highland Park whiskies, particularly the Einar, are more to my tastes when it comes to peat smoke. Lighter and later. But, I still keep a bottle of Laphroig in the cabinet, along with a sampling of Talisker Storm, for those who prefer the peatier tipples.
My favorite from this and a bottle that is ever present on my shelf is the Stranahan's, though I prefer the cask strength. I get such an amazing mocha flavor on the palate. I am glad to see that this bottle made on here. Going to have to go out and find some Talnua next.
Yes it is possible to distill hemp. A small distillery Called Olde Towne Distillery in Kentucky had hemp white dog. It was gross. It became a novelty bottle on my bar that I had people try for a laugh.
Anyone else find it ironic that Daniel, the man who has notoriously rebuked and refused all questions about what his top whisky is, is now going around demanding distillers tell them what theirs are.
Hello gentlemen I have an Irish whiskey for you to try ,if you haven’t. It’s called Paddy and I like it because I think newbies would like it best. Thanks Patrick
Just got a bottle of Stagg Jr last week. Walked into a hole in the wall store I frequent and the owner said he'd just gotten a single bottle allocation. Asked if I wanted it. Um, yeah.
-Regular Laphroaig 10 is already 48% so if you can't find Cask Strength I wouldn't worry too much, the regular stuff is still well above average proof.- EDIT: Quarter Cask is still 48% so if you can find that it'll be a decent step up from the regular 10yr without being so rare as the full cask strength.
@@grifini27 Whoops I totally forgot I've bought nothing but Quarter Cask for the last few years. The big bold words saying "Quarter Cask" were totally invisible to me until you brought to my attention that I'm not drinking standard 10yr.
Hmmmm.... other than Emma's pick, the others felt a lot like a marketing ploy. Distiller's picking Texas and Colorado whiskies as their favorite? Here's 5 that I think a distiller would love: Dahlwhinnie 15, Mortlach 16, Aberlour 16, Kentucky Owl Confiscated, and Weller Antique 107.

You didn't even need to hide Emma's whiskey. We all knew
If she unsocked fireball I’d have died.
@@WhiskeyTribe I'd question everything in my life.
@@WhiskeyTribe seeing "unsocked fireball" as a sentence is just..great.

@14:00 Berries and Cream! Berries and Cream! Rex is a little lad who loves Berries and Cream!
Straight up LOL'ed at "MOM AND DAD, YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARDS!" Thank you.

LOVE TALNUA! I have the Olde Saints Keep from 2020 and 2021. Keeps getting better every year!
10:35 I am not too sensitive for the sulphur, and I therefore I like Glenfarclas 12, 15 and so on. Another distillery that has affordable age-statement sherry bombs is Glengoyne.

Wasn’t familiar with Taluna, now I’m intrigued
I'm hoping they can get wide distribution. I absolutely adored their whiskey.
Check out The Burns Pub & Restaurant. Amazing Whiskey bar.
Talnua is absolutely amazing!!
Hopefully you’ve tried Deerhammer’s single malt. It’s one of my all time favorites
Point me to a shelf in a store anywhere that has Stagg Jr. That is my favorite, it is my unicorn, and it is practically unobtainable these days.
I love these episodes where we get to hear from the distillers themselves. Good stuff, guys. Keep it comin'.
Agreed on the Talnua. One of my faves from the Bastard’s Ball a few weeks back.
Talnua! So glad more and more people are seeing the wonderful whiskey they are producing. I'm going to enjoy how easy it is to get their special releases because it won't stay that way.

i dont know what my first one was, as it was givin to me in a shot glass, but the last one i has was glenfidich 12 yr that i really liked.
I love every time you do this. Hope a part 3 comes eventually
What a pleasant surprise! I go back to the original every once in a while, and that's what I thought I clicked, only to find out there is now an episode 2!! 🤩
Saw the tube sock and clicked before I even read what the episode was about
You are wise and your choices are correct.
I got a sock that stands up like that on its own
one of my first whiskey was if i recall it correctly a laphroaig 12. but just the peat and smoke remind me of ireland when i visit my brother there and friends. still love it to this day.

"warm whisky hug" - about Laphroaig - fantastic.
Laphroaig to me is like licking a bbq pit
My 'short form' description is that it's like getting punched in the face by Scotland...all of it.
Emma's segment was very wholesome... thanks mom and dad
"Mom & Dad, you magnificent bastards!" :)
Recently purchased Laphroaig 10 cask strength. Definitely my favorite of all Laphroaigs 😉

Emma!! 😭 Glad she's still close by
Bottom line, like wine, the bestt whiskey is the one you like.
I signed up for Crowd Cow. This sounds like something I could really get behind.

Try out Ardbeg, Bowmore, Caol Ila, Lagavulin if you can. I think that all are much better than Laphroaig
Jonathan picking Stagg Jr makes so much sense to me. That was the first, as Daniel called it "Wall of Flavor", I really nerded out on. Now Harbinger is a mainstay in my cabinet.
Emma, I wish I could find Lapgroaig 10 CS, here in Central Texas. Great pick!
Who do you think is buying it all :)
As soon as Emma popped up, we alllllll knew what hers was going to be.
Why even bother with the sock at that point jajajajja
Yeah, you can ferment cannabis leaves. There's an guy in India who ferments Bud.... I think the fermentation process decarboxylates the cannabis (hemp) and makes it orally active.
I love the can of Spam on the shelf 😂😂😂

With all the Colorado i was hoping for Breckinridge Port cask
Something that I feel would be a cool experiment would be a single pot still style corn or rye whiskey. See what the process does to different grains
The Balcones Bro wore an Indian shirt! Total fire! Love that band!
Colorado whiskey for the win! Stranahan's is my favorite too
My favorite from this and a bottle that is ever present on my shelf is the Stranahan's, though I prefer the cask strength. I get such an amazing mocha flavor on the palate. I am glad to see that this bottle made on here. Going to have to go out and find some Talnua next.
Laphroaig just ticks all the boxes its soo briny and it sweetens as the bottle runs out my fav scotch.
5:00 "MARS KAPON" HAHAHAHHA
Love Laphroig and always reminds me of an old band aid smell from when a kid. LOL
Looks like United has Glenfarclas, if you haven't remembered since.
M.B. Roland distillery and Kentucky Hemp Works teamed up on a hemp whiskey that's now aged and bottled.
Jared's beard game is just 🔥
How have I not heard of Talnua before? They are like 20 minutes from my house. I need to get out more.
They make great cocktails too. Grab a togo
The airline Daniel was talking about is United
Yes it is possible to distill hemp. A small distillery Called Olde Towne Distillery in Kentucky had hemp white dog. It was gross. It became a novelty bottle on my bar that I had people try for a laugh.
SoNo brewery in CT uses hemp seed although it’s not technically whiskey bc of the mash bill
Not surprised to see Stranahans pop up. Their Solera cask is my daily pour.
Best of the Whiskey Tribe best.
Ads are once again undefeated
Love the channel and that crowded cow is cheaper than my butcher box subscription so thanks for saving me money
Rex is either losing weight, or killing it in the red shirt. Either way, props.
Good luck, Emma. Godspeed.
Good Morning Gentlemen.
❤ Emma's t shirt ad for New York state's Ithaca distillery all the way down in TX
Anyone else find it ironic that Daniel, the man who has notoriously rebuked and refused all questions about what his top whisky is, is now going around demanding distillers tell them what theirs are.
his top whisky is Longmorn 16. didn't hear it from me though.
He mentioned it on the whiskey vault/ bank safe entrance episode
I actually hate mushrooms too, yet one of the first notes I ever picked up in a Laphroaig is a hint of mushrooms.
You need to make a video file or GIF of the Mom & Dad Magnificent Bastards for your Patrons.
Yes you can distill hemp. MB Roland released a limited run of a Hemp Whiskey and it was pretty damn good.
There actually are a few vodkas that use hemp seed in the mash.
Hello gentlemen I have an Irish whiskey for you to try ,if you haven’t. It’s called Paddy and I like it because I think newbies would like it best. Thanks
Patrick
Crying laughing right now because I said mom and dad are fighting right before Rex said mom and dad are angry. 😂
Emma is the best......she better stop by from time to time!
1:15 BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA yeah, ok buddy
Made me check the release date on this video again
I would like to say you can technically distill hemp. We do it in CBD oil manufacturing
I don't even drink whiskey but I always find myself back watching more.
I love Talnua.
Batch 17 stagg jr is just phenomenal, I managed to get two bottles and it's so hard not to pour every time I pour me some bourbon
Laphroaig, you absolute savage haha. I love it!
I checked out Total Wine in my area (Seattle) and no Talnua! :(
ohhhhh thats an older bottle of Stranahans. The new one has a white lable at the bottom and use older aged whiskeys.
I never knew I needed a Tuck face featured in an ad, until now.
you should do this much more often! that was great!
I really liked this vid........it was ....oh heck ...fun
Crowd cow crowded barrel so many crowds
Stranahans is my first and favorite whiskey
🍻 you MB’s.
Will you polish the screws in the wall please?
Without question, the best single malt whiskey on a budget is..Glendronach 12 Year Old Highland
Just got a bottle of Stagg Jr last week. Walked into a hole in the wall store I frequent and the owner said he'd just gotten a single bottle allocation. Asked if I wanted it. Um, yeah.
Daniel is learning the ways of the mooch
Talnua is not a Malt! It’s a Single Pot Still style whiskey that is made in Colorado in accordance with the Irish Technical File.
Hey tribe, what’s the name of those little sample bottles (w/ the screw cap, white/black color) and can I get them on the shelf somewhere? Thanks

@@grifini27 Whoops I totally forgot I've bought nothing but Quarter Cask for the last few years.
The big bold words saying "Quarter Cask" were totally invisible to me until you brought to my attention that I'm not drinking standard 10yr.
I am lazy liker but y'all bastarding Emma's Mom and Dad made me feel the warm fuzzies so I had to click the thumbs up!
I love Stranahan's because it tastes like nothing I've ever had before. Is there any other whiskeys that taste like it?
Love love love stranahans!
Is this the first time there's been a bastarding with an animation on the Tribe channel? I think it might be.
Needs a part 3!
