- This whisky reminds me why I got into the booze game in the first place. It also gives me a chance to show off my argyle sweater.

Prescott should have a show on Travel Channel, sneaking into empty houses around the world, rating local fare. I'd watch that show.
OMG YES! Think “An Idiot Abroad” meets Benedict Cumberbatch. SOMEONE CONTACT RICKY GERVAIS! Or Benedict.
….Russell Crowe? He did that one film on a vineyard in Italy or France, someplace. PV3, DO IT!
He should host a relaunch of Lifestyles of the rich and famous.
@@sheepkillindog 😱🤝👏👏👏 Bravo!!
Dining rooms, Dumbwaiters and Dens?
@randomdoodification 🤣 terrible mode of travel w/ fabulous accommodations while reviewing? Absolutely! Semi-trailer sleeper it is!
0:17 That brief expression after "I will enjoy it" just screams "I will enjoy it...alone...at night...in a public park....out of a styrofoam cup."
The Styrofoam really seals in the flavor🧐
RIP Phineas. You seemed like a good friend for PV3. Sad to hear of your passing.
Nice to see PV3 genuinely excited for what he's reviewing from time to time. Treat yo'self, Big P!
You know it's a good one when he doesn't just take one complete sip but goes for two before the spit
The very first sip usually only stings and has little flavour, at least to me, so can't really analyse flavours in the first sip
I miss the early videos where he went through 80% of the bottle and there was genuine drunkenness. On the other hand, glad it worked out for him and he doesn't have to drink to forget he's in someone else's kitchen, drinking someone else's whiskey.

You're actually supposed to take the first sip quickly as an acclimation step. The second is the sip you sit, ponder, pontificate, and wax poetic about.
@@SgtNuker AH A FEWOW GIT, OI DATS GOOD FINKIN'
The character acting here is so unreal I’m convinced this guy is just an actual mess lmao
Right? Part of me wants to know if he really is just a mess, but another part just likes the mystery.
@@MattDonafrio So much same. He's like Jerry from Rick and Morty but somehow even worse.
He is an actor. The whole thing is not real. Still good though.
@@TomReinerDE oh no, next thing you're gonna tell me is wrestling is fake and the Olympic Russian Judge scores harsher than others.
@@lookitssupergus Naa, wrestling is totally honest!
In-law Phineas is probably my favorite new PV3 lore character.
Is there a wiki or something? The lore is getting deep.
Ohhh boy, someone edging on that Whiskey Tribe TH-cam stock.
Not with islay pronounced like that
I'm about to share this in their FB group
@@noachav I'll meet you there
That's a collab I'd love to see!!
edging the whiskey tribe? 😳
I actually went and bought this scotch after this review
How was it? Did you get notes of being on a Scottish pirate ship?
If you liked this, try a Port Charlotte.
I can’t wait to try this.
My favorite part is checking what he did with the wood dummy in the background for this video, Hello to you to!
That quiet "malort" Hahahaha, I see you Wine Guy.
Do you know they make a nog too? I’d love to see him try that!
@@mike82377 I can't imagine what a clusterfuck of vomit inducing flavor that would be, I want it.
@@mike82377 hasn't the poor guy suffered enough?
@@DefconMaster better him than me!
Islay is pronounced "EYE-luh", just FYI.
me, an intellectual: A I S L Ä Y
The real pros prefer to pronounce it "Aioli", by the way.
Makes me question his sommelier credentials for getting that one wrong.
No, its ees-luh like Isla sorna
We're American. It's pronounced how we want it to be pronounced.
It’s good to see this man actually review something with an MSRP above $25. I feel like these once in a while “nice” episodes are the only thing keeping him from sky diving without a parachute.
Congrats on 100k subs. Sir, you have become a National treasure.
This is one of his best episodes yet. The comedic subtlety...*chef's kiss*
I love when he gets legit good alcohol. He's like finally, I can put my knowledge to use!!
I like your sweater by the way PV3! It's very handsome ❤️❤️❤️
Bless your heart...
Prescott actually enjoyed this. My heart is happy for you, PVIII.
We caught that subtle, under your breath, SHOT at Malort at 1:25
You're a very entertaining man. I'm glad you started making these videos.
Do you have a P.O. Box or local Wendy's/Model Home/Parking Lot we can send you stuff at?
He must have something since he's mentioned people sending him stuff in more than one occasion. Maybe check his insta
Love it! 🤣 Wendy’s….
I have this rare bottle of wine I'd like to send to Prescott. "Sir, this is a Wendy's."
@@ehill1536 🤣 lmao🤣
@@barronvonnoodle People know what kind of car he lives in
This is by far my favorite review channel! I love that you were able to try this, and also Cutty Sark 12 yr and give them both the review they deserve.
I don't know why the YT algorithm decided I needed to see unemployedwineguy but I'm so glad it did. This channel is awesome. Here's hoping you hit a million subs.
Well now that you did Ardbeg, I’d love to hear your review of Lagavulin 16. You are by far the most entertaining spirit reviewer on TH-cam!
*THE RETURN OF THE KING*
Finally a beverage I’ve actually had and enjoyed. Ardbeg is a bit like having a campfire in your mouth, both in terms of smokiness and burning sensation, but boy is it flavorful.
On a tour of Islay distilleries, my 18 yo daughter sampled six different Scotches. She described the taste of all as "fire-dirt". I thought, she's not wrong. I did buy her a Laphroaig for her 21st, her own bottle of fire-dirt.
Mmmm, yes - Ardbeg is my personal favourite, although I often drink Laphroaig too as it's easier to get hold of and usually about half the price! Bowmore is also a good Islay if you're on a budget - and Sainsburys have an Islay Blend which is surprisingly enjoyable.
I’m delighted to see a review of something you clearly enjoyed. It was really delightful to compare it to your videos that were.... more challenging for you to enjoy. Thank you for a great video.
It's so nice to see a genuine smile on Prescott's face when he gets something decent to drink for once. I can't wait for it to disappear in to a blank stare of misery and regret
“The higher you hold it (your pinky), the fancier you are.” ~ Patrick Star
I wish the little man could see me waving back to him, not PV3 but the wood guy
Unquestionably my favorite content on TH-cam
Proper break of character to explain the point of using green glass. Didn't think I'd see the day!
The malorts shoutout was subtle…yet appreciated 😂
Love the dry humor, it keeps me coming back.
Finally. The good stuff! I was gonna say if he swish and spit that whisky I was going to be disturbed. Ardbeg is absolutely delicious.
The YMCA: "Please stop using our showers while we're remodeling.
PV3: "But what if I offered you~! This whiskey here~?"
The YMCA: ".....Keep talking."
So happy to see fans are sending fun stuff!
"Leave a bottle of Fireball in a cabinet," Wait, I thought we were supposed to leave a place BETTER than we found it...
Also, gonna be looking for this bottle at my local Venmo; love the Islay whiskies!
I'm surprised the comments aren't already filled with whiskey peeps tearing you up for pronouncing islay the wrong way.
In case people do want to know, the correct way to pronounce it is eye-luh. Also, the appropriate response to pretentious whiskey peeps putting people down is to fart in their glencarin without explanation. Whiskey is for enjoying, not for flexing.
@@stephenbrizie5082 I've heard it pronounced both "eye-luh" and "eye-lay" by two different Scottish people.
I think it's because of the plea to build him and each other up with our comments. At this point I would hope we all feel for the man. He needs kind words in this hour and we can nitpick him later, or let Abby do that.
Whiskey NERRRRRRDS!
No, we whiskey fans are glad Scotch is getting attention. A lot of young people just drink any alcohol with a high %, they don't think about the flavour.
I actually wasn't expecting a legitimate review. Ardbeg 10 is one of my favourite scotches. Never tried the An Oa, but you definitely made me want to.
IVE WANTED THIS FOR MONTHS!!!! Thank you Brendan!!!
Listen, guy. I’m right there with you, muddling through the single life. I keep telling myself “no relationship is better than a bad relationship.” I hope you find one that’s as good as you wished for your viewers!
I would honestly buy a leather-bound book filled with Prescott's reviews interspersed with rye observations and pithy wisdom.
As a lover of Islay whisky, Ardbeg is amazing!
I absolutely love you, PVIII. Can't wait to see more Scotch reviews on your way to 1 million subscribers!
I would love to get Mirror Julie and drunk PV3 together.
Ardbeg is a little tough for the casual drinker. Honestly, it's a bit much for me and I love scotch whisky. I'm a Laphroig man, myself. Still a strong, peated whiskey, but just a little smoother.
Laphroaig 10 was my first and still the best, or at least best value. Ardbeg Uigdeail (or however it is spelled) is pretty dang good but twice as expensive as Laphroaig 10.
To each their own, but whisky noobs, please don´t listen to this person here. Laphroig 10 is probably the heaviest of the entry level Islay scotch.
To be fair, An Oa is the least peat forward Ardbeg in its core range.
Good to know. I recently sipped Red Breast Irish Pot Still for the first time, and the flavor was so persistent and imposing it was scary, but then again I’m a red wine guy, not spirits
@@wallacegrommet9343, Redbreast is a completely unpleated whiskey and pot stilled. It’s very different from a peated Islay scotch.
As per the usual, the confidence is unmatched. We admire your bravery to show up on camera for TH-cam once again, Prescott!
A good islay scotch; feels like a warm hug by a loved one beside a campfire that we all could use.
like I’ve been saying, I don’t know why, but this is my favorite channel. I will never not click on a video right away.
I can not tell you how much I have appreciated your videos! You are just hilarious with an enjoyable voice. I watched every single video tonight and I am sad that I'm now all out. I love the serious video as long as it has the same humor! Again, Thank you!
Your videos make me want to give you a big hug and let you have a long cry there. I hope at least one really good thing happens for you soon, PV3.
You truly inspire, PV3. You make me want to be the Chadwick to somebody else's Abby!
Alright.... what goody two shoes sent PV3 something that wouldn't be considered torture.
You're great, man. I was very depressed, and your monologue made me feel genuinely better.
Awwww We love you PV3!!! Thank you for not spitting (mostly) most of that amazing scotch. You make me laugh and bring me joy! You should get some sort of alcohol services where we can buy you bottles! You can use a Post Office as a delivery point and then sell it out of your car! After you review it, that is! That will make Abby jealous!
My neighbor had a very very old dog they named Phineas. I watched that dog take naps in their back yard whole I was gardening. I think it passed away in late 2018. Phineas was very good dog.
You're doing great and we are all proud of you, PV3!
One of the best whiskeys. Has hints of licorice for those that like that. A perfect marriage of smokiness and sweetness.
Honestly love your content. You give a informative take on it with some witty humor mixed in.
One of my favorite episodes! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for pronouncing the name correctly. Brown bottles filter out more bad stuff than green. That’s why most beer bottles are brown.
This is my go-to scotch. Love that smoke!
thanks for the well wishes, and I hope the best for you in your future endeavors, whatever they may be
First time I tried scotch was when my buddy brought over some Walker Blue for me to try. I had already been throwing back doubles of Wild Turkey for a few hours by then, so without even thinking I tale his bottle and pour a couple fingers into a cup of RC Cola. My buddy looked at me like I just rabbit-punched a pregnant woman, he never came over to drink with me after that.
People like you dont deserve friends!
Awful. Just awful..
Completely understandable.
In my defense, he had made me sit through Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy a week prior. So in that aspect this was more or less just Revenge.
@@chesterstevens8870 whaa?!
I love everything about tinker tailer soldier spy! Though I enjoyed the 10 book series more
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Prescott Vanmeyer the Third? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you.
Yo PV3, glad to see you enjoying some quality scotch! That product sounds amazing, we might have to see if we can find some. Thanks for the great review. You love you, man.
I bought this a few months ago. Amazing. Very interesting flavor.
Saw your Angie ad! Great work bro!!!
this is one of the best made and funniest videos I have seen on this platform in a hot minute. Also, please review admiral nelson spiced rum. Thanks homie!
6:19 "love yourself... it's nobody else's job" damn, that hit me hard.
From all of us commenters and viewers: We love you Pv3!
That advice section at the end was killer xD A+++
I believe in you and your little sweater is lovely!
Best acting so far. I just wanted to give the PV3 character a massive hug and tell him things will be OK.
Their Uigeadail is absolutely amazing. Might be my favorite whiskey.
The stick figure is saying what's up from behind a tree now 😂
I noticed that. Solid comment.
I never noticed the figure before. Its in a different pose for each video.
@@fltchr4449 usually
Malort really left an impression.
I was really looking forward to receiving that book
I hope people keep giving you the good stuff to enjoy to balance out the suffering sometimes.
Congrats on the 100k subs! You earned that silver play button!
It's good to see you enjoying good things.
Beautiful Scotch. I want one of the smoker cylinders it came in, just for kicks. Keep ‘em comin’, PV3!!!
Nice to see you're still letting yourself enjoy the finer things in life, PV3.
Loving the stache
Fantastic review. I'm jealous of his tasting this Scotch.
Whenever you drink from mug or cup, ‘tis charming when your pinkie’s up!
Great sweater, great jokes, great hair.
Sweet, another character in the PV3 cinematic universe.
You had me thoroughly teased on the leather-bound of your notes, PV3. Only to leave me with blue balls…
Good to see you getting the good stuff sometimes
you make my days better PV3 ily
Ardbeg! Our boy is moving up in the world.
Wow reviewed my favorite drink!!! Lol love these videos.
These just get more and more dense - BRAVO
Not since Hugh Laurie on House has a performer made a heretofore unrelatable profession something we can all relate to.
OH! Do a review for Ojo De Tigre Mezcal Tequila! Very smooth and smoky with nice dried fruit finish.
Nice one :)
Nice to find Fellow Whisky Tubers out there!
