    The fact you're not the most subscribed Whisky Tuber baffles me. Some media companies don't put out content of this quality.

      He does great work, I'm not a scotch guy mainly bourbon so I've don't follow him religiously but I enjoy some of his videos

    So, so good. You do such a good job of providing a wealth of easily digestible information in such a short space. And holy cow - geometric pot stills - I gotta get my hands on some Waiheke.

      Thanks Don! Yeah it’s super unique. They use New Zealand peat too, quite different from Islay peat.

    You've done it again Phil-- a beautifully produced video that is packed with information that is easily understood. I honestly think you have the content that all whisky enthusiasts should digest and keep as their reference to help others who are interested. I recommend you content to my friends who want to really learn more about whisky and how it is produced. This will be at the top of my "must see" list now. Thanks for all the hard work. The resulting content is brilliant!

  • @JeffWhisky
    @JeffWhisky ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Dude, this is beyond great. I am far from a smart man about Whisky and this has been the best explanation of the distillation process, better than at Distilleries themselves. Great work buddy and subtle hat movements ;).

    @thewhiskyscribe ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I was about to mention the habit of duplicating dents from old stills to new, but of course you’re all over it. If you haven’t seen them yet, you should check out the stills at Manly Spirits Co. (Coastal Stone Whisky) as they were designed by chemical engineers.
    Great video, and great to see you posting again. Cheers 🥃

    Another significant component to the light taste of Irish whiskey is the use of non-malted barley for a large percentage of the grain content.

    Hey there, Phil!
    I just had to drop by and say a big thank you for that incredible video you shared. 🙌 Your content is a perfect blend of informative and educational, all while keeping it light and funny - it's just my kind of entertainment! Also, the way you put together the video was top-notch, and I couldn't take my eyes off it. I'm eagerly looking forward to more fantastic content like this from you. Keep up the awesome work, and keep those videos coming! 🎉

I've enjoyed all of your videos and while I think it's great that there are so many wonderful whisky review channels, I feel the in-depth context your channel provides around so many whisky related topics is invaluable to any whisky enthusiast - it's so informative but also presented in a way that's easy to understand.

    We were missing you fella.. Great video!! Just would like to add that those bad components on the foreshots that are discarded, are not created during the distillation. They were there all the time from the fermentation and that is one of the reasons the hangovers from drinking beer or wine are much worst then whisky that can be more due to dehydration - if you keep drinking water you'll be fine in the morning. Cheers!

    Whiskeys and guitars are alot alike. Every single element of a guitar changes its sound right down to the type of finish on the body. Just like every single component of a Whiskeys journey will have an effect on it's taste, right down to the angle of the condenser

    Hello everyone.
    And I hope everyone doing very well.
    I have question. That i cannot find answer.
    Master of distilling was mentioned they have pot still of size 7500 litres.
    And they making cuts 7-6 litre per minute.
    Is my question.
    Is any formula to calculate heart's cutting speed. To size of your boiler?
    If say i have 1000 litres boiler and 10000 litres.
    Obviously i have to work with different speed. And how to find out this raffle speed for cutting heart's?

    As far as I can tell, six Scotch distilleries are producing triple distilled whisky. Auchentoshan, Benriach, Benromach, Springbank, Bruichladdich, and Rosebank (which has reopened). Bruichladdich has even gone further and made quadruple distilled whisky!
