Good video. But we need to see more of Gráinne. Darren is the whiskey expert, but the channel needs more than that. Bringing in Gráinne was a stroke of genius. I'm glad she thought of it.
Really good quality! Congrats Darren! Maybe Gráinne can turn into a character arc instead of getting mugged, maybe she mugs you and drinks your whiskey?!
Seattle-ite here, with more experience with Scotch than Irish whiskey, but with a local burger-and-whiskey bar having half price Irish shots on Sundays, been loving the experience of a decent Irish lately. Ive not seen Powers at the bar, so I might suggest it. From the descriptions given, Id love it! Nice going Darren . . .except for poor Grainne! Accosted in the street by "weirdos" :D
Did you understand him? I mean, without the glasses, it was like Charlie Brown's teacher. Wah-wah-wah-wah? (Seriously, this looks like it's going to be a fun channel. Especially if Gráinne keeps making appearances.)
Great new series here I am thinking. I will happily pay for your tour of our local distillery here in Victoria BC if you ever get over the pond on a vacation. It won 2023 Worlds best Pot Still whiskey at the World Whisky Awards.....They have an entire line of Irish style Whisky's, being made by a transported Scot in Canada. They had Dr Jim Swan set up their aging process. He was the best in the world before his passing shortly after getting Macaloney's set up.
Love the introduction. Unpretentious presentation mixed with a healthy smattering of Irish humor (Dogging the label for its color was brilliant). Bonus points for a Gráinne appearance. Mayhaps we see other 'Tryers in the future?
Congrats on the new channel and 1st video. Remember, if you ever decide to have a "serious " video, be sure to bust out the glasses for the erudite look🙂
Very nice start to the channel. I look forward to getting to see and learn some of the history of Irish whiskeys and watching for any other cameos (Hi Gráinne!) that might happen along the way.
Poor Gráinne, but she doesn't really like whiskey much anyway, so it's all good. The only Powers I've had here in the US is John's Lane. Great to see the series launch, Darren.
I have just watched both of your videos, and really enjoyed them. The bit with Gráinne was inspired, and I was pleased to see her in the next one as well. Looking forward to more of your videos.
There is rather the big 4 of Irish whiskey; Paddy's, Powers, Jamesons, and the Dew. Dew is my go to, but I am afraid Powers is rather at the ass end of the quartet for myself. Id call it a very fine day to cavort about Dublin with Darren and trying the Waters of Life at every Pub along the lanes. Bon Voyage on your new endeavor Darren, I'll be popping in and keeping tabs.
Grainne's bit had me spittin' out my perfectly good Power's Gold Label (not Gold Label) Whiskey! LOL Actually I don't drink whiskey..or alcohol, like at all for that matter, but I did laugh heartily at that little surprise as well as throughout. This was a great vid Darren! I can't wait for more!
We ”only” get their Three Swallow Single Pot Still bottle from the monopoly here in Finland. Might try it yet if I stumble over it in my local whisky bar. Great video.
Great episode! Sadly, the Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) in Virginia stopped selling Gold Label about a year ago. I used to like it a lot. I'll pick up a bottle of Paddy's ever so often just because it seems to be a great value for the price of it here. Great video, definitely looking forward to more. Thanks!
I love both the sense of humor and the music choices for these videos. Keep it up folks.You should keep doing the post credit Gráinne scenes like the other video too.
Loved this, Darren! Looking forward to more videos. You’re making this red wine girl want to tiptoe into the world of whiskey, and I’m near the Bourbon Trail in Kentucky. I’ll have to educate myself, so please keep these coming.
I managed to miss this very first one, so I only saw it a few days ago. But I was in my local liquor store here in Maryland today looking for something new, and there was a single bottle left of this for $30. Very different flavors going on here. But I think I like it. Even though the gold label thing is a lie. Thanks for picking a good one.
Never had this in centre Canada (winnipeg). was exposed only to rye whisky’s as a child (bad parents) which I hated and Ballantines/Johny Walker’s Red, which smelt nice to me at least. Def sold me on the channel in advance. Thx, Tom
Got introduced to Powers at Muldoon's (RIP) and it's been my day whiskey ever since. Reliably tasty and nice for when you just want to sit for a while with a pal or a book.
Fantastic video. Looking forward to each and every episode. I think that I really should have gotten myself over to Stag’s Head when I was in Dublin. Oh well.
@@ThisTastesLikeWhiskey This is awesome, man! I always thought to myself "If that Darren dude would start a whiskey channel of sorts, he would definitely go places! You're very charming and doesn't hurt that you're a great looking man so I would expect people to flock to your channel buddy. Myself and many others I feel are just so enthralled and entertained when you speak or present something. Keep on, keeping on man!

I don't drink, at all, but still enjoy this because it's Darren.
1:16 "They're pricks!" LOL I almost spit out my drink!
Lost it at the cameo.
This was very enjoyable, like a good whiskey
When can we look forward to cameos from Ciara, Dermot, and Martin?
And, as a goof, Lolsy (so we can see her whiskey face)?
@@aqacefanoh I already have BIG plans for how to incorporate lots more Tryers!
Remember, whiskey is like sex. When it's good, it's really, really good, but when it's bad, it's still pretty good.
Great first episode. Looking forward to more.
This was a fantastic first episode. Loved the additions of the extra cuts and the mugging! Stellar job all around! 😁
Oh you 🥲
Whiskey, Darren, and Gráinne gets mugged. Love it 🤣
First of all, just because Gráinne says “take my bag” doesn’t mean you have to. Second… great choice in music, dude! Looking forward to more episodes!
Damn it, Powers. That label is as gold as the Golden Gate bridge.
I'm not a whiskey drinker, but I do enjoy listening to people like Darren who are passionate about it. Cheers on a great first episode!
Good video. But we need to see more of Gráinne. Darren is the whiskey expert, but the channel needs more than that. Bringing in Gráinne was a stroke of genius. I'm glad she thought of it.
This is the second best whiskey video I've seen in the last hour! (I watched the second video in this series a bit ago.)
Beautiful new bag Darren! Can’t wait for more episodes
Woot! Whiskey time w/Darren! ... My proper education begins! lol
This was brilliant! It made me laugh. Grainne's cameo was funny. You should have started this channel a long time ago. You're a natural.
Loved all the shade thrown at the label designer. 🥃
😂
linked this to my local whiskey FB group for ya.
Ah much appreciated!
Very excited for a series about whiskey tasting that's humorous and unpretentious.
Really good quality! Congrats Darren! Maybe Gráinne can turn into a character arc instead of getting mugged, maybe she mugs you and drinks your whiskey?!

These are dangerous streets. You gotta watch out for roving bands of whiskey aficionados.
This is just like The World of Whiskey with Darren Lalor. Only without the glasses.
Looking forward to discovering some new favourites, well done!

You won’t believe it but I was sitting next to that Scot at the world whiskey awards when they won! Lovely people, would love to try their whiskey.
Great job on your first episode! Looking forward to more!

The plan is to have a few cameos in future videos, so watch this space!
More of this please.
Good job Darren. You deserve this channel. Big hug from Portugal.
They need to release a Red Label version with a gold color label now.
Darren - love your love of whiskey and Gráinne is a great addition: don't tell anyone but she can act!
Absolutely love the video. More…More… Would like to see a longer format.
Congrats on the new channel and 1st video. Remember, if you ever decide to have a "serious " video, be sure to bust out the glasses for the erudite look🙂
Thank you
Top notch effort for your first installment. Great music bed 🎶 as well!
Been looking forward to the first video! Excited for the future of this channel
Very nice start to the channel. I look forward to getting to see and learn some of the history of Irish whiskeys and watching for any other cameos (Hi Gráinne!) that might happen along the way.
Let's Go!
love it looking forward to all things whiskey
A drinking video on a proper day (unlike some mondays *wink*) - I’m sure they will be all golden classics.🥃👍
This just came up in my suggested videos, instant subscribe! I can't wait to see more!
Poor Gráinne, but she doesn't really like whiskey much anyway, so it's all good.
The only Powers I've had here in the US is John's Lane. Great to see the series launch, Darren.
I have just watched both of your videos, and really enjoyed them. The bit with Gráinne was inspired, and I was pleased to see her in the next one as well. Looking forward to more of your videos.
Powers gold and their rye are my go to drinks lately. Good flavors for the prices.
There is rather the big 4 of Irish whiskey; Paddy's, Powers, Jamesons, and the Dew. Dew is my go to, but I am afraid Powers is rather at the ass end of the quartet for myself. Id call it a very fine day to cavort about Dublin with Darren and trying the Waters of Life at every Pub along the lanes. Bon Voyage on your new endeavor Darren, I'll be popping in and keeping tabs.
Great video- pure gold (red?). Nice bar. More please.
Powers is a solid brand. Love the John’s Lane CS. Wish they still made Powers Signature, still my favorite
Love the cameo. Nice purse!
Powers Rye is one of the most interesting rye whiskies I've ever tried. It's not as spicy as we are used to in the US. The flavor is very interesting.
Very cool Darren
I'm here for any and all nonsense 🤘
Grainne's bit had me spittin' out my perfectly good Power's Gold Label (not Gold Label) Whiskey! LOL Actually I don't drink whiskey..or alcohol, like at all for that matter, but I did laugh heartily at that little surprise as well as throughout. This was a great vid Darren! I can't wait for more!
I am so glad I saw your channel! I look forward to more episodes and whiskey education. Big Try channel fan
We ”only” get their Three Swallow Single Pot Still bottle from the monopoly here in Finland. Might try it yet if I stumble over it in my local whisky bar. Great video.
This was fun! Keep it up.
Love, love, this new series! I don’t even like whiskey, probably only had shitte ones but now I’ll have to give it a go, again.
Short and sweet, and good fun thanks.
Bring it! Whisky drinker from US who has no idea how the algorithm connected us.
I wouldn't normally sub to a whiskey channel, but I'll always watch more content with these two!
So excited!! I'm coming to Ireland in November so I'm starting my whiskey list!
Oh, it's that guy from that place!
Cool!
Been waiting for this to happen for ages! Love it; well done to my favorite whiskey aficionado🔥
Poor Gráinne. Is she going to get mugged every week?
This whole series is just an excuse to mug Grainne.
@@ThisTastesLikeWhiskeywoah hold up a second
FIRST COMMENT ❤️
AND I CANT WAIT TO SEE MORE OF THIS NEW ADVENTURE GOOD DARRON 🥃

Luv'ya'all at TRY!!!! Subbed.
Loved your first video, Darren! Look forward to seeing the next one 😀
I just subbed to this channel; love all the work you have done on TRY. (:
A channel with a biting sense of humor! Excellent!
Btw, the YT algorithm brought me here. Glad i came here.
Yessss! Darren Rocks! You actually helped me start to enjoy whiskey with the try stuff.
I managed to miss this very first one, so I only saw it a few days ago. But I was in my local liquor store here in Maryland today looking for something new, and there was a single bottle left of this for $30. Very different flavors going on here. But I think I like it.

❤!!! Cannot wait until next week. Did Gráinne get her bag returned? 😂
She did but I can’t guarantee she’ll keep it.
Loved the first video and can't wait for more!
Darren drinking whiskey and telling us all about it? Some people might not think this the highest of entertainment. THOSE people would be incorrect..
I do like Darren's humour a mix of dead-pan and stupid, from TRY and other places, you had me at "This..."
I’ll have to check that out. Thanks for the recommendation.
You can get that for 30-35$ here near austin,tx and its a solid whiskey for the price. Well worth the couple extra bucks over jameson.
Never had this in centre Canada (winnipeg). was exposed only to rye whisky’s as a child (bad parents) which I hated and Ballantines/Johny Walker’s Red, which smelt nice to me at least.
Def sold me on the channel in advance.
Thx, Tom
Funny video thanks.
This is looking awesome! Can’t wait to see what comes next… maybe we can get the glasses involved? 🤷♂️😂
Love it!
Can't wait to see more!
Got introduced to Powers at Muldoon's (RIP) and it's been my day whiskey ever since. Reliably tasty and nice for when you just want to sit for a while with a pal or a book.
But does it smell like whiskey? Excellent start. I'm going to like it here.
Nice. Great episode.
Love this and can't wait till the next! 👍
You found your calling Darren!
I don't drink but I am a fan of you 😊 you're awesome 😎 this was a great video!
Fantastic video. Looking forward to each and every episode. I think that I really should have gotten myself over to Stag’s Head when I was in Dublin. Oh well.
And the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor goes to... Grainne Blumenthal for her portrayal of "overly frightened person"..
Never heard of that brand before. Good thing starting of this channel with it then 👍
Powers John's Lane is my favorite Irish Whiskey. Three Swallows is also very good.
Great. Thanks.
I like this a lot Darren. Great work!
Good first episode!! Keep them coming.
Well done. Hope to see more videos soon.
Great first video, Darren! Also, please give Gráinne back her bag! ❤
Nice job Darren! Enjoyed it!
Love it! Can't wait for more.
So is this a channel created by or ran by Darren from the Try channel? If so, then I'm totally subscribed!
Yep, my own channel for all my whiskey nonsense. And I’ll still be in the Try Channel as well 😊
@@ThisTastesLikeWhiskey This is awesome, man! I always thought to myself "If that Darren dude would start a whiskey channel of sorts, he would definitely go places!

I’m going to definitely learn about whiskey now.
Great video. Loved it.
