- Scottish whisky is world renowned but with chocolate? Today we head to Dewars Aberfeldy Distillery for a tour to see why Scotland is known for it's whisky and pair with chocolate! ⬇ More Below ⬇
Welcome back to Scotland! Today we wanted to learn more about why Scottish whisky is so well known, so we head to Dewars Aberfeldy for a distillery tour and tasting with chocolate pairings and what a day!
Whisky from Scotland is world renowned and we can understand why now. The distillery tour was eye opening to see how meticulous the process is and the love that goes into every bottle. We're honestly not big spirit drinkers but Dewars definitely positioned their distillery tour and whisky tasting to us in a way that was much more approachable - with chocolate! It's crazy how much the chocolate changes the profile of the whisky and now we're both a lot more open to whisky.
Having all the notes listed in front of us helped with the tasting as well, to an untrained drinker (us both haha) we really feel like our eyes are open to whisky now and will be looking for the Scottish magic around the world.

Do you like the taste of whisky?? If not, would you change that if it was Scottish whisky with chocolate?! (you should!) 🤣
I'm Scottish i can't stand whisky ... the smell gives me the boak (throw up)
You gotta try balance it out with some chocolate then! 😍
If people don’t like whisky, Scotland is one of the biggest produces of Gin in the world, and there are loads of distillery’s around where you can go gin tasting!
@@DanegerAndStacey it's the smell ... Choclate won't work ... and i can't drink alcohol now i had a bad flu 19 years ago and my taste buds changed and Alchol now tastes very bitter to me ... so i haven't drunk alcohol in 19 years ... i have to say i don't miss it ... i don't smoke either ... starting to worry i'm a Quaker now lol :P
You both are a credit to humanity love from Edinburgh Scotland
Thanks so much Francis
I literally drooled through this video. Whisky and chocolate....heck ya!! Great video presentation. Several years ago I had the pleasure of touring the Springbank distillery in Campbeltown dating back to 1828. What a great experience. You got it right - whisky is Scottish and whiskey is Irish. The tasting experience after a tour is really special and now you get to enjoy a wee dram of whisky with friends and tell them of your experience. Well done my friends!
Sounds like you had an awesome tour as well - so much history behind whisky it's amazing to find out more
you and your videos do Scotland justice,you also seem to bring the sun with you,Kudo's for your pronunciation of our language (especially Stacey) and trying all things Scottish, Respect from Scotland !
We do don't we ☀️ Thank you so much, we absolutely love Scotland - it will always have a special place in our hearts.
We make our way to Scotland at least once every 18 months just because we love it so much!! Needless to say, we do really love Whiskey 😆🙌🏼
It's whisky (no e), Irish and American whiskey are spelt with the e.
harleydonski I had no idea! Thank you!
Thank you for showing us the beauty of Perthshire, Scotland, Danager & Stacey.
You're very welcome!
Its sure is a beautiful area to drive through .😊
Very fun vlog as always. Fun energy with you two! Keep em coming 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Cheers Vito!
Another brilliant video. The quality of your videography and editing is one of the best. Looking forward to seeing a lot more 🤘🏼
Thanks Martyn! Another Scotland video just uplaoded
That tour looked awesome! I seriously need to make my way over to Scotland 🏴
you wont regret it
@Sasha Carey You definitely do!
Your such a lovely couple , I really enjoy your trips and the effort you put in and you always explain every little detail. I often come on TH-cam to see Scotland as I’ve decided to move from Manchester in England to Thurso , Caithness overlooking the orkneys. Thankyou guys keep up the good work and stay safe xx
Thanks so much Sylvia! We hope you love it
I went on the tour there this past July. The 20 year was insanely good!
Glad you enjoyed as well!
probably the nicest young couple in the world, god bless from scotland
Hey Dane and Stacey, Just found your channel and watched a bunch of your video's and they're amazing!! We're traveling in Scotland as well and spent a lot of time in the Perthshire area and actually worked in the whisky industry for a while. So very nice to see you two enjoing a proper whisky tasting!
We have a lot of catiching up to do on your video's, can't wait! We're planning to do some more traveling and want to see more of Europe, so we'll use your videos for some tips!
Love Leon and Miek
That's awesome guys, glad you found us and thanks for the love!
Glad you enjoyed Perthshire, I'm from Perth myself... There's a lot of stunning countryside in Rural Perthshire to see
So true - it really is a stunning area
Looks like you guys had a great time in Perthshire. I can't believe you were in Aberfeldy, and at the distillery, that's where I (Gary) work!!!
Glad you had a nice visit, and great video guys!
Haha no way? Cool place there, such a scenic area as well
Loved this! I've always loved whisky and have tried more types than I can remember. I can absolutely confirm that whisky and chocolate is a thing, because our Sunday afternoon treat is to pour a whisky, select some dark chocolate, open a good book and CHILL! That hotel was fantastic - you guys really know how to select your accommodation :)
That sounds like a pretty heavenly afternoon there, Rex... or are you talking about weekend mornings? 🤣
@@DanegerAndStacey Yes very much weekends! Weekdays are crazy!😂
Guys you are amazing 😊. Thank you so much for your videos. We can’t stop watching you 😊. The content is so full of information and the presentation is magnificent. Wish you all the best 😊🤗
Our pleasure! Such a lovely comment, thanks for traveling along with us
@@DanegerAndStacey God made the world in 7 days, BUT?? on Monday he was a bit disappointed, sat back and decided he would take all the best he had made and make and put them into one country, just to be a wee a wee bit special, so he made Scotland.
Kinloch Rannoch is a gorgeous wee place to stay, though I've never stayed at the Dunalistair
Scot in Northland New Zealand watching you both in my homeland :) Im a new subscriber :)
Oh hey 👋🏼 we swapped places.
hi guys another amazing upload.i hope you can come to dundee. you need to go to the lawhill.(old volcano).you can see all of dundee and beyond and the famous dundee railway bridge.
tj Hayter , just make sure to wear crash helmets 😂
@@thebrightsideofthemoon5829 why?
Love you guys
Sticky toffee pudding! My favorite ever dessert.
It's heaven isnt it!
Oh and you need to find a retreat in Scotland for when you need to recharge the batteries - you clearly adore this beautiful country :D
Now that sounds amazing!
My dad was an engineer and had several Scotch distilleries as clients. When I was a student I worked for him in the holidays and we spent a few days at Grants in Dufftown. They gave him an old barrel to cut in half and put plants in, and we drove back to London with it in the back of his estate car in the middle of summer. This was before cars had aircon and the car reeked of whisky for weeks. Can you get drunk on fumes?
Haha that's brilliant. Sounds like you guys would be the ones to know, would have been interesting if he got pulled over and tested haha
Awesome video! Would love to visit the Aberfeldy Distillery. Just bought myself the Aberfeldy 20 y.o. exceptional cask and the Aberfeldy 16 and it came with dark chocolate.
Gonna try it this evening. Very exited. Greetings from The Netherlands
How was it?
@@DanegerAndStacey it was awesome. Goes very well together. 20 yo was one of the best i've had in years. Worth the money.
Greetings Danny
Super liked this. Firstly you observed the very strict drink driving laws in Scotland and that is a credit to you... and then (as I just find that whisky gives me tummy ache) you did a cracking review of a wonderful distillery. The chocolate did look rather yummy and the whole experience was proper interesting. Thanks for taking me along :)
Is the limit lower in Scotland than the rest of the UK? I never drink at all if I am driving so have never bothered finding out what the limits are.
@@caw25sha Yes the limit is lower in Scotland. Their spirit measure has always been 35ml rather than the 25ml in the rest of the UK and perhaps as a result of this the devolved government tightened the laws so that now a half pint of premium lager would put you close to the limit and two drinks in a day could well be over.
@@caw25sha Personally i would ban all and any alcohol consumption with drivers, it shouldn't even be a thing in this day and age.
Thanks so much ❤️ You know maybe your tummy just needs some chocolate to balance out the whisky!
Les 1266 the spirit measure in Scotland is 25ml too as standard. Bars and restaurants across the uk can choose to use 35ml but the standard is 25.
Not normally a fan of Scotch, but served with chocolate we could be a fan 😂
Took the words outta our mouths 🤣
what a cleaver man. I don't like whiskey but I would try it after this video
With some chocolate you might even enjoy it!
Chocolate and coffee? No chocolate and Scotch!!! Marvelous 😍
The combo was incredible!
Daneger and Stacey I think I still might have a bottle of scotch somewhere and some chocolate 😉. I will give it a try!
Dewars was my first alcoholic beverage! I won a botte when i was 13 by swimming for it at a party. Fun memory, i wasn't even invited, went there on my own, sneaked out from our hotel where my family was sleeping during the night, and i was walking during nightly town, saw an open gate, and just walked in, minute after they were announcing that whoever managed to grab and swim out from the swimming poole the bottle is for them...imagine how i jumped first, and like 20 older men and women after me...now watching back i wonder how i survived it...i cannot swim for the life of me...ah ,teens years...well now i sound like a granny...tsk tsk...the things your videos are do to me ;)
No way! What a coincidence. HAHA this has got to be one of the best stories from any comment we've ever had. Thanks for sharing and for the laughs
@@DanegerAndStacey you can always rely on me on stupid drunk stories ;)
I know you visited Romania already but the landscapes in your last videos are similar to Brașov County area, also some other parts of Transylvania and Bucovina (north-eastern Romania). Maybe one day you will come. If you do, I can show you arounds in Brașov, my hometown. (one of the most beautiful city in Romania)
We've heard how incredible the rest of Romania is - we need to come back
Come to Glasgow
Live in Perth, used to live in Dunalastair estate , as I said on your last video, and now to let you know that I used to work at Dewars , no shit 😂
This is getting crazy. Just uploaded our last Scottish video - any connections in that one?!
Daneger and Stacey , only the lamb you had was the family pet 😂😂
Yum! Was the hotel not busy?
It was busy at times, such an amazing place it's likely always near full!
😍😍
Beautiful country! Suppose if I were there I would try the whiskey, just not a fan of the taste. Distillery looked awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Scotch whisky flavours vary a lot so if you try a few you might find one you like. I don't know where you live but in the UK even ordinary supermarkets sell taster sets of several miniature bottles of various types of Scotch.
It's whisky not whiskey, whiskey is only found outside Scotland because the name whisky is a protected brand.
My mistake on the spelling. Didn’t realize there were so many flavours. Thanks for the info.
Looks like you've been taught the same info we were, interesting how it's spelt differently huh?! Thanks again Bob
8:17 is where it's as 😍
Dane drinks a cup of coffee before giving one to Stacy? Nate would never do that to Kara.
Haha she didn't want one, then was cheeky on camera 🤣 I make her 2-3 cups a day and she plays me like that haha.
@@DanegerAndStacey Thank you Dane. You two made my day.
Y’all don’t like whisky? I’m from Tennessee so I’m offended. 😂 and I’m biased. I think we have the best whisky. Although Canada has some good whiskeys also.
Haha sorry for swearing at ya 🤣
Daneger and Stacey I’m just messing. I don’t drink whiskey that much myself. But that’s just cause I’m cheap and can get a whole beer for the price of a shot. 👍🏻
Aberfeldy!- JK Rowling has a house there!
We heard all the locals send people in random (incorrect) directions on purpose when ever someone asks if they know where the house is 🤣
@@DanegerAndStacey Ha Ha! Its actually close to one of your clips on todays vlog!
@@DanegerAndStacey Haha, it sounds like the Scottish are as sick of Harry Potter as most of us English are. 😂 Now if only the Americans would leave it alone, we could all move on with our lives. 😁
gmaccruyff55 I live right behind her house lol it’s a private estate 😉
Curious why it's whiskey and not scotch??
It's whisky not whiskey, it is only called whiskey when made outside Scotland because whisky is a protected brand. Much like how you have to call champagne sparkling wine and prosecco if it is not made in the champagne region of France because the name champagne is also a protected brand like whisky.
Scotch is more of a nickname foreigners call whisky or whiskey.
Gary Mcatear not quite Gary. Whiskey is the term used by Americans and the Irish primarily. Most other whisky producing countries prefer the spelling whisky, including japan, Canada and Sweden. The protected term is scotch, not whisky. Whisky can be made in any country, scotch can only be made in Scotland.
To answer your question Vegan Voyagers, we don’t call it scotch cause we’re from Scotland. The stuff made in the states is known internationally as bourbon but in the states most folk would just call it whiskey. Same with Ireland, I call it Irish whiskey as I’m a Scotsman but they’d call it just whiskey. When I’m in Scotland I call our stuff whisky, when I’m out of Scotland I call it scotch so people know what I’m talking about.
@@AlexT177 super interesting! Thanks for your input
@@AlexT177 No other country outside Scotland can call their brand 'whisky' they must call it 'whiskey' if it is produced out side of Scotland, it is a fact, any country can produce whisky yes but they are not permitted to brand it as 'whisky', like i said they must by law call it 'whiskey'
Gary Mcatear Gary, that’s not true. Google Japanese whisky and you’ll see. Scotch whisky is a protected term, whisky isn’t.
I’m Scottish and never drank whiskey
Wore kilt or eat deep fried mars bar
davie l , I bet you’ve never been to a Scotland v England game either, you’ve not lived man.
Major Hardon no I’m Rangers man fcuk Scottish football team WATP
davie l ..... Ah I see , football’s not your thing then. Typical Rangers (always hating) I bet you have an England top just like 60% of Rangers fans. Thought you thought you were Scottish for a minute ?
Major Hardon I’m Scottish as the rest of country
But fcuk Scottish football team sfa
As a Scotsman you might be suprised to hear i hate whisky, it's like drinking fire in my opinion and i don't think any amount of chocolate will change my view of it lol. Actually i hate the taste of all alcohol, i don't understand how people can drink the stuff, i will stick to Scotlands other national drink...the good auld Irn-Bru.
Actually very surprised by this, Gary! We get it though, Irn Bru is delicious so we can't blame ya there
@@DanegerAndStacey Irn Bru used to be better before the EU brought in a law to cut out the sugar content. Sooner we out of the EU the sooner we can get the sugar back in our Irn Bru 😃
Gary Mcatear Eu had nothing to do with the sugar content of irn-bru.
@@johnfitzpatrick4007 The EU changed the rules about the amount of sugar in drinks, but what actually caused the reduction in sugar in the UK was that twat Jamie Oliver.
Gary Mcatear It was recommended by the food standard Scotland.(fss)
I dare you to visit and explore Pakistan 🇵🇰🇵🇰 it would boost your views and earn bunch of subscribers quickly In few days lots of love from USA 🇺🇸🇺🇸
That's exactly the reason we haven't visited. Some people go there just for the channel subs to work the system, but the reality is those followers from Pakistan aren't followers - most don't care about any video you make other than in their country so it's actually detrimental to go. Its a shame, but lots of creators trying to game the system.
