I preferred bourbon to whiskey when I was younger precisely because of bourbon's sweetness. Nowadays, I prefer whiskey, particularly single malts because of their more complex flavors.

Mate, I could hardly tie my shoes with our four-month old, so hats off for even making it this far. I've heard good things about these whiskies, though with so many good, age-stated American whiskies for cheaper, they're pretty far down my list to try. Let alone the discovery series. I'm loving bourbons of late, so no shame here!

Nice to have you back! I've only just started my Whiskey journey in the past few months with some vigour and I came across your channel last month. I've watched almost all the videos to date (still a few gaps) but it's great to have someone local-ish helping to break it down and I enjoy your style. Never apologise for life getting in the way. What we create is almost always a labour of love or a side hustle at best. Family always comes first, and yes...don't WAKE THE BABY!!! ;)

@@thewhiskyscribe I'm sure you've had this from others before, but a solid number of the whiskeys you cover are not those commonly kept at places like Dan Murphys et al, and quite steep for newbies. I'd personally like to see more entry level drams reviewed, noting they won't be as nice as the Highwaymen (for example) but more within reach of most. I'm a big coffee nut and I get that my tastes evolved over the past 10 years so maybe that's a tough ask to back. Other than that the history episodes are fun too. Enjoy what's in your glass :)

Oh that's interesting. Thanks for letting me know as I thought it was just the single cask release. Looking back at my photos and this video, I had cask 9 which I think was more of the 'honey dew' from my light fruit notes. For pear drop I probably would have referred to it as 'orchard fruits'.

Minor, possibly interesting legal pedantry: “bourbon aged in X barrels” cannot be sold as just “bourbon.” It is technically in the broader “American whiskey” category, as bourbon proper must be aged exclusively in new oak. A lawyer will understand “Bourbon aged in X barrels” to mean, “this was made using bourbon as an ingredient, which was then aged in X barrels.” Of course this is all just legal pedantry, and I love my finished bourbon! But there it is.

To me bourbon is completely a different drink from whisky or whiskey. Bourbon has a sickly taste that scoch or irish doesnt have, the lack of 3 years distillaton and the corn elenent must be the reason. Bourbon reminds me of cheap Thai Hong Tong crap.
@thewhiskyscribe 5 ай бұрын
With cheaper bourbons I feel the same way, but when they start getting into higher age statements there can be some interesting complexity and flavours from the corn that you just can’t get from other grains. We all have our personal preferences though. There are Irish whiskeys that contain corn, just not usually as much as 50%

That's actually NOT the same whiskey. The Bushmills 10 Yr old in the classic style bottling that is orange/red is the SHERRY CASK version (travel Exclusive), and not to be confused with the classic bottle of Bushmills 10 Yr which has GREEN Labelling and a GREEN Bottle that was matured in a combo of Bourbon/Sherry casks bottled at 40% ABV. The Newer styled bottle is the same juice just as the classic green bottle. Orange/Red travel exclusive is 1 liter bottle and bottled at 46% ABV and was finished in Oloroso Sherry casks.
