When she has breakfast with whiskey she's a connoisseur, but when I do it I'm "out of control and in need of help"
My wife says the same!
There's a subtle difference between having whiskey with your breakfast... and having breakfast with your whiskey.
That's pretty funny lol
Postghost lmao
Just write a book about whiskey and your suddenly not an alcoholic. Trust me, works every time.
"We like spankings, or cinnamon, or spicy wings"
You really just opened with spankings
WOULD i hit it? yes.
Do i WANT to hit? Also yes.
She also speaks of being a cheap date, and rolling out of bed and having a rye with her oatmeal. Marriage material right there!
I actually really liked her, didnt come off as fake trying trying too hard. It was funny too.
She just kept going like she didn’t say anything lol. I was like “.....wait, what did she just say!?”
@@Amberscion *scotch
As someone who works in whisky, you meet alot of pretentious people. She is the best example of the good part of the whisky world. Open minded, loves whisky of all costs and never calls any of the drinks "bad". She fantastic!!!
But some ARE bad.
Cool. I totally get what you mean by the pretentious whiskey "connoisseur".
@@hansgrubber1682 that's just your subjective opinion
You work in whisky? Is that good for the skin?
@@peacexoom4936 No, some are legitimately poorly made and taste bad.
Some whiskys are the spirit equivalent of a microwave dinner, it`s food, but it`s not good food..
Plastic bottles, nuff said :p

Cheap date☑️
Likes spankings☑️
I think I’m in love guys

She has nice hair. It screams yes.
Yes
There a fine line between “whiskey expert” and “informed alcoholic”
im an informed alcoholic
The fine line is a single word. That word is “aromatics.”
Actually, you can talk to some ex-alcoholics and they will admit they called themselves wine/whisky/whatever connaisseurs as a justification for their drinking
She's actually a whiskey judge. I just found out. She was on Whiskey Tribe.
@@concert610 Whiskey Tribe! Daniel and Rex are two amazing guys! I just feel the urge to watch the episode where she's with them in the bar.
My father is a whiskey expert, but my mom just calls him an alcoholic...
It’s a fine line
Tell the truth Papa Palps. You hid a bottle of the finest up your sleeve.
By now he must be 200 years old, so they both are experts I guess...
I almost expected a glossy look on her face after sampling all the whiskies. Maybe all that bathing in and whiskey for breakfast has build a tolerance. ;D
@The senate It’s treason then
She is the smartest mess / highest functioning alcoholic I’ve ever seen and I’m so here for it 👏🏻

This lady: detects orange blossom, butterscotch, and vanilla
Me: detects burning
I used to feel that way.
Go to a legit whisky tasting. I didn't really want to go, but went with buds for the night out. Some whisky there was just..."burney"....but a couple others changed my opinion of what whisky could be.....now I actually enjoy whisky neat because I found what I like. The one that changed my opinion that night was Glenmorangie Lasanta. Later I got into Islay scotch...and later on I finally found some American whiskeys that I enjoy.
My favorite regular sipping whisky this month is probably Ardbeg 10 year. Nothing too extravagant. Smokey, warm, good.
As soon as you've burnt your taste buds away with a few gallons of whisky/whiskey, you'll be able to detect orange blossom, butterscotch and vanilla. ;-)
Try a decent single malt scotch that's fairly smoked. I only like whiskys that are at least somewhat smoky because they mask the ethanol taste very well. The more creamy, often irish ones, "dessert whiskys" I cannot stand, the combination of that with the taste of ethanol is nauseating. Whisky is the only spirit that I'll drink neat, because a good one doesn't taste like solvent unlike most other types of spirits.
@@frysebox1 I've never found an Irish whisky I've enjoyed enough to buy a bottle. I'm sure they are out there, but I'm not holding my breath.
Oban 14y and dalwhinnie are the two I really like. I never was interested in whiskey before my dad took me to a distillery in Scotland on holiday. All those guys are right you really need to try a lot before you find one you really enjoy

Slight hints of spousal abuse, notes of childhood trauma, add a layer of regret and you have a really good whiskey. It is lacking the scent of DUI manslaughter charges you get with some of the higher proof ones.

What is for certain, though, is that you should always wipe your blackboard off with a wet rag instead of using any chalkboard eraser. Even the best chalkboard erasers pale in comparison to a lowly dampened paper towel.

"I need a drink with my Oatmeal" I though I was a whiskey lover till I heard this line... obviously i'm a novice.

Haha whiskey for breakfast, whiskey for oatmeal, Dang atleast it lessens the guilt we put in our heads everytime we drink every night
@@richarddavies5674 I used to tell friends that, mucking around of course, but now I advise people not to drink.
Then there's drinking your whisky with your oatmeal while being spanked...

@@ColeckZz she's obviously joking
Mitchell shes showing signs of intoxication when she was suppose to do a video tasting, you don't get that intoxicated off sipping when you drink a lot. Shes an alcoholic lol.
Her: "I'm getting smells of flowers and spring time and orange blossom and vanilla"
Me: "Smells like rubbing alcohol"
Turtle's Reef yep..all smells and tastes the same to me.
Way late but here's a handy tip: Open your mouth a bit and inhale with both your nose and your mouth at the same time. The reason for this is that if you inhale through your nose with your mouth closed, then you're sucking alcohol vapours into your sinus cavity and then giving them nowhere to go so all you smell is burn. With your mouth open, you create a passthrough airflow out of your sinus cavity and pull the alcohol through, leaving room for the spirit's aromatic notes to get noticed.
You also can vary the distance you bring your nose to the glass, because the further you are the more the alcohol evaporates into the air above the glass instead of going up your nose and masking the flavours. The shape of the glass you're smelling from also has DRAMATIC impacts on the smell of the whisk(e)y, with a narrower opening making the smell more focused and intensed (including the alcohol) so maybe try different containers to find one you like.
It takes a bit of practice but everyone's got a sweet spot where they're not just huffing moonshine fumes. I still haven't gotten past tasting 85% wet fire, though.
Not everyone has a good nose, it's not just snobby. You can practice at it though and the more exposure, the more you can detect. Try blindfolded at home. And like above comments, breathe it in, most of it is in the way the aroma passes over the tongue and back towards the mouth from the nose.
Try a few different ones, especially back to back, you will start to get the hang of it pretty quickly.
Smells like nail polish remover.
I live in Scotland. Glasgow. This stuff is our heritage. There is nothing better when the pubs were opened to walk in and see the huge selection of whisky for sale here. Love seeing older men sitting down and having a dram together.
Whisky is more than just alcohol here it is an institution.
This wonderful lady must have some Scottish blood..Awesome. Slang .
it's a lot of people's heritage.
I can't believe you can smell and taste all those flavors. Whenever I smell and taste whiskey it just smells and tastes like whiskey.
ever heard of terpenes?
Same... for the first 3 months of getting into it as a hobby. Took me that long to find "caramel" in the smell. But damn is it satisfying when you do!
Very possible. You really no need to inhale and then just take a sip. Let yourself breathe afterwards and just wait. You will taste and smell certain flavors. I'm no expert but I can taste differences when I do that.
you generally dont get these notes right away, alcohol is overpowering everything in the beginning you need to aclimate to the high proof, in the beginning dont be afraid to lower the proof yourself adding some water or even ice, but keep in mind that the higher the proof the more complex is the whiksey (generally). Also in the beginning having 2 different whiskeys side by side helps a lot identifying differences thus making you notice the flavors. keep in mind that you cannot identify a flavor youve never been in contact with, like if youve never ate and apple you cant associate anything to the taste of apple. The more things you try the better your baseline for comparing flavors.

I like segments like these - it’s not always immediately visually apparent as to which one is higher quality (as with the bread or meat videos). It really makes the expert more impressive because it shows that they know what they’re talking about.

I came to the comments to see if I want the only one that noticed
I wish they would give the names of each whisky after the reveal. It's hard to go to the store and say, "I'd like two bottles of whisky A"
Gus Stone LMAO!
Like she said, don't be afraid to sit down at a bar and try two to see what you like.
Scotch has 5 major styles based on their region. If someone offered to buy me a bottle from a region I liked at a lower price point or a mid-range bottle from a region I don't particularly like, I would take the cheaper bottle.
But you can look for prices comparable to what was shown 🙃
For the japanese whiskeys, the guesses wouldnt be hard. I would guess Suntory's Toki for A and B would probably Yamazaki 12. for the rest of the categories that are so much more abundant here. No clue. I also wish she would say. She semi addresses this, but I also wish they would dive more into ones where high price isnt better. She explains it well in Rye, as I am a Rye lover. The older and it gets makes it more expensive, but the older it gets in those barrels the less 'Rye' you taste. Gotta find that good mid grade.
@@Lextauph that was my guess too, toki for A and yamazaki for B, the aftertaste really gave it away

Obviously Im not sure wether the girl is addicted or not, and certainly is not on me to try to change what she does. But saying "I love you" becuse of a clearly bad habit is a good way to escalate a potential problem. Well the number speaks for themselves.

I've never actually tried a whiskey myself but the way this woman expresses herself like she is talking about art makes this drink so much more interesting to me.
They definitely don't taste like how she describes when you drink them for the first time! You've got to get used to the alcohol before being able to taste the differences
I had had distilled drinks before, vodka, spirits etc. But first time i tried whiskey, that was like, holy crap, never knew it could actually taste good and not like hand sanitizer
@@chelseafcrocks82Depends. I didn’t need to grow a taste for it, but of course there are many from whom it is an acquired taste.

They should have done moonshine.
"After tasting Moonshine B I can feel I'm starting to go blind, so I'm going to say that Moonshine B is the cheaper one."
GaiusMatius “And i’m going to go ahead and guess Moonshine B was made in someone’s backyard tarp tent”
That is just the classic moonshine.
Maybe they could do “Glug”- with brake fluid.
If blindness is the only symptom, I'd immediately predict that the other must be cheaper.
"The newspaper they dissolved in B is definitely from a single PRESS agency."
I wish the list of whiskeys were listed in the description or comments...
I was just about to comment this, but I'm glad I only had to press like on yours. As a whisky enthusiast this would have improved the video greatly.
The expensive Irish one is called Midleton, you get a Willy Wonka factory tour ticket with each purchase and the cheap one is probably Paddy's which will probably get you a black eye.
@@adammoore251 there are other expensive Irish whiskeys than just Middleton
Honestly I wish they did this for all their videos.
At least for the beer tasting video there were a lot of people in the comments who could help identify the beers based on the bottle/can, price per beer, and the descriptions given by the expert (for example, the wheat beers he tasted were Allagash White and Blue Moon). This video put them all in decanters instead of just removing the labels from the bottles so you couldn't even make guesses based on that kind of information.
They could probably make a good amount of extra money too if they partnered with a distributor and provided affiliate links in the description. It would be great to be able to receive an expert review like this on the product, comparing the cheap to the expensive side by side, and then make an informed purchase with that information.
It even sounded like she preferred the cheaper rye whiskey for something to just drink when you wanted a rye (listen to the description she gave at 8:57), but right as she was about to say it they did the jump cut at 9:18 where they revealed the prices. I'd really like to know what that cheaper rye whiskey was since it sounds like she thought it was a great value from all the descriptions she gave to it.
@@thomasbuck303 Yea, at $100 it's probably something like redbreast 12 (€60 over here) or yellow spot (about €70). I say that for no other reason than they are my favourites 😂
I've been a bourbon and rye drinker for a while (Gen-X here).
If you're looking to try out different types or you're looking for "good and expensive" etc, quite honestly you do NOT need to spend a lot of money for a really amazing rye. Rittenhouse retails for about $28usd, and for that money it's amazing. If you decide you want to spend a little more? Whistlepig 10. Last time I bought a bottle it was just under $100usd (in the US of course), has amazing complexity, really soft vanilla notes, doesn't linger too long but also doesn't "vanish" as soon as you finish the sip. Rye and bourbon, IMO, they really don't benefit overly much beyond 15 years since they're in new oak UNLESS they're aged near the ocean or they're aged in areas where you have dramatic temperature changes between summer and winter. That said? Avoid whiskey / bourbon / rye from New England. Maine whiskey, Vermont whiskey, over priced and very much NOT worth the money at all, same with NY whiskey. Of course if you like that? Go for it! The best part of whiskey is what you like.
and we should take your unsolicited recommendations, random gen x you tuber......why?
@@itsgoingtobeok-justbreathe4808
lol! I mean sure, if you want to waste your money, knock yourself out, slick!
And with regards to "unsolicited recommendations", you must be new here or what? The internet is, and always has been, full of just that. Like I stated, however, if you LIKE a particular whiskey then drink it! If you want to spend more money than you need to? Go on with your bad self.

Alcohol experts: "I smell hints of orange, and it feels like springtime... also I can tell the shape and make of the barrel this was made in"
Me: "Hmm, yes..... that's........ certainly alcohol"
Gold. Pure Gold. Perhaps that's why I prefer Barrel Proof spirits. If it's over 50% alcohol it's worth drinking. In extreme moderation of course (he lies to himself).
the difference between a fraud and and a booze lover. Choose which is which
You can find best alcohol experts sleeping on park bences.
@@BradGryphonn "extreme moderation"
stephen stewart the different flavors or notes come from those ingredients and also the barrel that they’re aged in. Wood has a lot of compounds and and natural occurring chemicals that leech out into the whisky. Woods are different between each other too. The longer it ages the more notes one has the potential of tasting. Also the combination of certain ones give different notes. I’m no super taster and definitely can’t tell much different between certain ones but some stronger flavors I can taste and do notice
I learned so much. this was amazingly helpful.
Spectacular. The whiskey assessment was also great.

Didn't notice until I read your comment, I can't unsee it and it's so annoying!
That's for jump cut, each zoom action is a jump cut point.
Wow. This comment completely ruined the rest of the video for me... I'm not even going to finish
@@Derbycityborn you are welcome.
I shouldn't have read this
Thank you for your whiskey knowledge Tina Fey
Her name is not tina fey
I'm not really seeing the Tina Fey angle
Tina Fey mixed with Jackie Kennedy
@@parkermaciejewski4671 Oh I see that, though. Good call.
Damn! That's an awful thing to say to a lady that enjoys spankings and whiskey for breakfast.
Thanks to her im now a whiskey enthusiast. Take a little sip. And you really taste and feel what she is talking about
Wow, I think I will have to buy a bottle or two of Milam and Greene whiskey after seeing Heather Greene's enthusiasm and joy for Whiskey.
I looked back on all the previous episodes of this series and *yes* they do the zoom in and zoom out on all of them
thank you. now i can't unsee this
In this video it's even more painful, because I've never noticed it before
It's a TV technique where they film with multiple cameras and splice together 4 second clips to keep the attention of the ADHD community.
@@monstar7566 But it's still painful to watch.
This lady is fun as hell. Totally comfortable on camera and great sense of humor. Thanks Rene Russo.
@Clams McGee Bill Cosby? LOL!!!
"Whiskey is an occasion, unless you're like me and you have it for breakfast." 😲😂🤣
I really enjoyed this video with her, you can tell she would be good company - a true conniseur
Heather, you are a riot. This one's probably my favorite from the whole series thus far, and I liked all of em.
"Roll outta bed, and you're like 'I need a drink with my oatmeal, and this is the jam!'"
LOL!
Finally, we got our vid on whiskey!!
And the expert is awesome too, she's funny, clever, and not stuck up. I like that she doesn't mind a cheaper whiskey, and really just cares about the taste, and she's super down-to-earth.
My favorite episode yet!
She also doesn't do the funny tasting thing with her mouth "you don't drink it that way . . . and also I think it looks strange".
She also doesn't know what she is talking about
uisce_beatha if you say so
and she likes spankings
@@rwgibson1Here's a bit of her back ground information.
She was The Director of Whiskey Education and sommelier at The Flatiron Room in Manhattan from 2012-2014 where her classes sold out regularly. She was an award-winning ambassador when she worked for Glenfiddich Single Malt Scotch, and was the first American Woman to Serve on the Scotch Malt Whisky Society in Edinburgh. She is a celebrated writer who inspires new imbibers -- her book was shortlisted in the New York Times as well as being selected by Tales of the Cocktail as one of the ten best spirits books of the year. She is a contributor to the upcoming Oxford Companion of Spirits, She is also certified by France's Bureau National International Professionnel Du Cognac as one of the few who hold a Cognac Educators Foundation Diploma in the United States.
I would love to watch a series where epicurious gives feedback on what the experts say about the options, as well as reveal what the names are.
Edutainment at its finest, guys. Earned my engagement.
I think she's been my favorite expert so far. Her dry humor is fantastic.
Catie Sampedro you mean Rye humor correct?
@@jarhead21100 Oh that's terrible. And I love it.
I wish Epicurious would list the brands of the products they get for these videos. I loved this expert. She was vibrant and fun and made me want to go out and buy some whiskey....if only I knew the brands to try!
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I'd recommend Glenfiddich 12, though. It's a really solid Scotch whisky.
@@benkohler27 cool, thanks for the rec
Whiskies that would match her descriptions and roughly the price points (the more expensive ones):
Scotch: Glendronach 18 Year old
Rye: Pappy van Winkle Rye
Irish: Redbreast 15 or 21 Year old
Bourbon: Blantons Single Barrel
Japanese: Miyagikyo
Yeah for the Irish try redbreast or possibly bushmills - bushmills do a basic, I think a 16yr old and 21? Jameson 18 year old should be about 180 to 200 usd and it will convert anyone to whiskey. Super easy drinking but nicely complex
@@MrHeadlandpictures awesome. Thanks so much for the recs!
“I need a drink with my oatmeal” I hope no one needs that lol
This is my favorite video of this series
-Enjoys a drink with her breakfast
-Could bathe in whiskey
-Is a cheap date
-Is funny
-Likes spanking
...
I'm in love
You, sir, have been watching too much "How to drink" apparently ;)
Hahah awesome!
But she speaks so much, though.
@@americancitizen1885
Yes, hello, FBI - this comment right here.
@@S___________D Ha!
Imagine if she was doing her expertise thing here, but instead just chugged it quietly and either smirked a bit or frowned and flipped it off. That's like a bad date.
Did she just say that would bathe in the bourbon? What the
Her: "Unless you're like me and you have it for breakfast."
Me: "Marry me?"
