Is FLAVORED Whiskey Actually Bad? (or are we just too afraid to admit the deliciousness...)

  • All MB's know that RULE #1 in the Whiskey Tribe is - The BEST whisk(e)y is the whisk(e)y you like to drink - the way you like to drink it. But FLAVORED WHISKEY never seems to get any love in whisky circles. Is that reputation deserved? Or have we been missing out on something tasty because we're too worried about what our fancy friends might think?

    10:45 Honey can have notes. Bees were stealing ingredients from a licorice factory in my hometown, and their honey tasted like licorice. You might find that the bees responsible for the Yukon Jack are also responsible for pollinating a citrus orchard.

      @tsrindahl 3 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Exactly, I don’t think anyone drinks it neat. It’s a liqueur. Drambuie is no more a flavored whiskey than Grand Marnier is a flavored Cognac. I love Rusty Nails almost as much as an Old Fashioned. I make them 2oz blended scotch like Chevas Regal 3/4 to 1 oz Drambuie stir on the rocks and float 1/2 oz Ardbeg 10 or Uigeadail on top. Then an optional second float or Angostura Bitters. Heavenly!

    • @oivind22
      @oivind22 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes, that's what I keep a bottle of Drambuie for. I use a ratio of 3:1 or 4:1, whisky to Drambuie. I have only tried it with Johnnie Walker Black, but my idea was to use it for whiskies I don't finish because they're too boring (I'll try with Laphroaig sometime, though). Throw in some Drambuie and ice, and you have a nice dessert. Excellent after a heavy meal.

    I like mint juleps a lot, although I add some bitters in addition to the mint and simple. It’s a little delicate, and you have to be careful about your ratios, but if you fine tune it to your palate, it can be quite enjoyable.

    The only thing I drink from this episode is Drambuie in a Rusty Nail. The sweetness and herbaceous character of this liquer (3/4 ounce) goes perfect with a smoky Scotch or Irish (Connemara does well 1.5 ounce), and the refreshing sourness of fresh squeezed lemon juice (half a lemon), a twisted lemon peel garnish, and topped with soda water on ice....so nice and refreshing, balanced yet interesting.

    I love a good mint julep (or mojito) on a summer evening. Yeah I can admit it. Jim Beam Vanilla and Jack Daniels Honey are good in coke but that can be a bit too sweet. Don’t get me wrong, I also like a good neat bourbon too.

  • @larss337
    @larss337 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    One to try is Old Pulteney Stroma malt whiskey. It's a very sweet toffee like flavor but with ice it's a nice desert cocktail. One trick (probably heresy) is to cut it with some ordinary malt whiskey to make it less sweet, still add ice though.

I was wondering if you guys can make an episode detailing on why it happens and does it affect the whiskey inside the bottle regardless if it has never been opened. I and I’m sure everyone else would love to hear your take on this. FYI… I’m a been a big fan of yours for the past 4 years. Thank you in advance and keep up the great work in educating people like me.

When I walked into their business and they said "we specialize in flavored spirits" I was like :( and by the time I left after sampling everything I was like :D
