[@gregoryedwards9097]

People who complain about him repeating it don't understand his craft. This man is putting on a performance with the drinks he is educating you about. This dude is a master and has this thing timed to perfection lol. Also he treats his whiskey like master painters. He isn't frugal nor penny pinching about it. When you have the balls to throw away whiskey like he does, you are a man with confidence and who isn't afraid to risk things. No wildly successful person in ANYTHING was a penny pincher.

[@dawgpost90]

Every rich person I ever met was extremely frugal. Nonsense

[@andrewo6890]

Nobody said rich - a SUCCESSFUL person can be independent to material wealth .. his knowledge is wealth !

[@jsm530]

​​@@dawgpost90 not true some aren't hence they have huge opulent homes and too many cars to count.

[@dawgpost90]

@@jsm530 How is my subjective experience "not true" for you? I recognize that there is a spectrum of people in the "rich" category. That's just been my experience.

[@goldencalf5144]

He's penny pinching when it comes to bottling his whiskies. Most Dalmores are bottled at a measly 40% ABV. Should be at least 46% considering how much they charge for it.

[@seantan8872]

He's not throwing away whiskey, he's blessing, purifying the horrendous environment

[@ArtemLokhovitskiy]

I bet that day was the best for all workers of that studio and offices. Imagine working in the office, that suddenly smells like expensive scotch. :)

[@toolslover3645]

We also do this in India🇮🇳... We call it "chadhawa"..

[@goldencalf5144]

He's probably having a laugh at all the people who think he's being serious and throwing away their expensive single malt on the floor.

[@BamBoy88]

"The most expensive thing you will ever have in your mouth" Such a scotsman.

[@SandeepNagarkoti]

obviously lying ..i bet it's just his piss brewed with prof Snape...lol

[@codyC423]

Apart from him.... she knows she can't afford it.

[@iancrombie8862]

Unless she marries,Rupert Murdoch!😂

[@brianboru8858]

The greatest mystery of life is knowing whether Richard is being serious or taking the piss

[@Jarsia]

"really ruined your studio here but never mind" what a gentleman

[@TraumaER]

Jarsia upgraded the studio. 🥃

[@followingtheroe1952]

This man is actually from Arrakis, throwing the liquid on the floor was a sign of respect. In fact look at how this professional catches the glass at 4:54 to ensure not a drop is spilled

[@Turambar3791]

XD

[@MrRinoHunter]

Shai-hulud brother Shai-hulud

[@sgmenon]

This man really takes his whisky very .. very seriously.

[@MegaNINJAKING]

Very creative comment.

[@butte6583]

Max Mustermann Very creative input.

[@pandab34rYT]

At $50,000 a bottle I would do the same

[@briancampbell5673]

*whisky

[@sgmenon]

Brian Campbell Both are correct. www.thekitchn.com/whiskey-vs-whisky-whats-the-di-100476

[@curtisgordon7923]

8 in the morning and they're drinking live on television. God I love this man

[@MRSLAV]

Can someone who has time calculate how much money he spilled by "cleaning" the glass?

[@erwin669]

The 12 year old Single Malt Dalmore which he started her with is $65 a bottle. So couple of bucks

[@Bone8444312]

это часть представления. он актер

[@urbanchillerTM]

YES.

[@WungTung]

lmfao she should have tossed the whisky from the vile coz you needa clean the glass right hahahaa

[@jinkazamaaa]

+Calvin Wong loooooooooooooool :P

[@argntnspc]

ROFLMFAO bahahahahaAHAHAHAhahahahahhaa

[@maximiliankusterer7853]

*vial

[@slovakredneck5418]

Calvin Wong he would need balls in size of ostrich egg to do that with this whiskey ;-)

[@bmxriderforlife1234]

i bet he'd have cried like a baby

[@rickmuller6597]

This dude is fucking awesome!

[@bengunn6571]

It would have been funny if he first threw the $50,000 scotch on the ground.

[@ezralimm]

"I dont have much of a bridge of a nose here" hahahahahaha

[@ontologian]

This guy + a claymore + super-scotch = the best superhero ever.

[@slugerama]

The guys behind the scenes are probably licking the ground and the cameras, everywhere the liquid fell after throwing it away.

[@coinguy2775]

You can't help but to smile while watching this man! He's so fun and entertaining! :)

[@adriancano3991]

We need more ppl like this at our Bars

[@johnmiller2132]

I love this guy! He's freaking insane!

[@NcHawk17]

I love his passion

[@ravenshadevox]

this guy is one of my favorites! he has such carisma and passion, very inspiring!

[@andrewram1r3z]

omg she was the best interviewer from everyone that talked to him. so chill

[@cjimcook]

I am so jealous. Price is not the determinant for the complexity of a $50,000/50-year old whisky, but the fact that it served by Richard Patterson is. Just wow and, "I'd like to have some of what she's having."

[@novazee]

I bet his whole house smells like scotch.

[@kristupasantanavicius9093]

I soaked my jacket with a glass of Jack during a heavy drink session. There was literally no smell the next morning.

[@kristupasantanavicius9093]

@@blueslime1703 Lol, there is worse. What do you recommend? Nowadays I drink Jim Beam over ice or gin tonics :D

[@Dan_Berry]

I was at a tasting (really, an education) with Richard Paterson, and he really is an amusing guy. Unfortunately, with only a 6 minute clip, he's rushed so he can't go over the history and differences between whisky and scotch, or the various regions, or many other things that we did in an hour and a half. Oh yeah, and a lot of tasting.

[@hamsterpoop]

There's an hour long video of him at one of his tastings on youtube. Unfortunately the uploader didn't label it correctly, but look up "WoW2011_RichardPatterson.mp4" on youtube and it should come up.

[@RedUncle]

that sounds like an awesome experience, Dan!

[@Saint.Holy.Sinner]

thanks men I appreciate it @@hamsterpoop

[@TTalksVA]

i love this man

[@funnyvideos-24by7]

"Let me abuse you here.. " I thought I misheard him, but then after few seconds he said again, " Let me just abuse you here...", , this man is always quite blunt in his profession 😉 😉 🤣🤣

[@delona6485]

Love this guy! Just made me a whisky enthusiast. Plus , what a gentleman complementing after that nose remark. Well done sir....but THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE HIGHLANDER!

[@yatinjoshi6802]

today i am depressed with my life then i saw this host...now i M back with a bang😂😂😂

[@achuck4321]

4:00 min is by far the best part!

[@hughmungus1235]

Ya don't need it! 😂

[@Piekartz]

He likes to trow his dalmore, but not his more expencive drinks.

[@phillipsoriano7828]

This dudes a G! Forever changed the way I drink my Whiskey.

[@nerd_alert927]

I would love to be at one of his demostrations. I know he does the same exact talk and gimmicks everytime (I've seen many videos), but learning from him in an extended lecture would be awesome.

[@lonewolf_harfanmaula]

i was completely with richard patterson, while watching the video, he has got the art of story telling. superb

[@Jurgenels7]

I agree, I also use water but i do however use a DROP of wiskey after the water and swirl it around and chuck it, before starting the real tasting. Imo it does make a huge difference.

[@XTrevvion]

He says the same shit in every video

[@slipknot2k4]

+XTrevvion dragon ball z says the same shit in every episode ahhhhhh uawyahhhhhhh haaaaaaaaa ururrrrrrhhaaaaaaa

[@phoeNYkx]

XTrevvion IKR, gets fucking annoying and pretentious!

[@muffineyes]

I met him before. He does that IRL. really nice guy. He even gave me a book

[@rendros88]

well duh? What else is he supposed to say?

[@RichardsWorld]

Yeah, but in this video he didn't do the coffee and chocolate story.

[@clintbaker3149]

Can I just be in the front catching what he throws out?

[@ornim1]

Glass that I use for drinking whiskey: The *bottle*, I use the *bottle* Come at me Paterson bro!

[@Byronic_Man]

he might try to kill you for that.

[@ornim1]

try? He'll go all angry scotsman on me!

[@JenniferSteel]

You had me with your sweet Scottish accent, master blender Richard Paterson! Sophie Lui is fun and such a great sport! Cheers!

[@beckgrayson4254]

really throw it out on to the floor lmao this dudes house is probly like a sticky nightmare

[@larrylarry871]

I give em something to do

[@CaptainJacksIsland]

Get a dog. Problem solved.

[@givemeoats]

This guy probably has cleaning maids.

[@peterpiper47]

Mine too. Not whiskey though

[@NoahWoodworth]

Nah it all evaporates, there's no colouring in good scotch

[@gangesexcavating]

This is awesome and hilarious! I watch Sophie Lui every morning when I come in from night shift at a logging camp I work at in BC. Great video clip, she's a great gal, and to top it all off she is cute as a button! You rock, Sophie!

[@paulieb22]

he has his own standard of class

[@Toolmybass]

Are you kidding?....David Stewart has more standard of class in his little pinky

[@iasimp1997]

TOOL

[@philiphobia]

Using water instead of whiskey to clean the glass will reduce the whiskey consumption. Also one can utilize Red Label to wash glasses.

[@dafuzzbudd]

How can I book this man to entertain at my birthday party?

[@quatre03]

the contrast in the ticker tape a the bottom and whats going on is stark

[@onDishez]

What happens behind scenes after this one

[@mrnobody6354]

Same thing happened to me, the first time I drank whisky I was 18, back then I was a white spirit drinker. It was a 15-year-old single malt, the smoke nearly made me choke. Now I'm a whiskey/whisky drinker.

[@darfkwolf88]

XD he keeps throwing it on the floor! LOL

[@hearmeout0909]

That ''Hmm Hmm Hmm'' reaction of that lady there @1:45, LOL

[@imtehshit]

Where have I seen this man?

[@bryarbrammer99]

This guy's a straight beast.

[@stizz19]

Ha, I literally laughed out loud when he was saying if you hold the glass with your whole hand he would kill you.

[@AriesSupertramp]

He kinda reminds me of Scotty from Star Trek :D

[@missle25]

Richard is my new hero!

THIS GUY IS GOLD

[@hughmungus1056]

when he poured that 50k a bottle shit she should have swirled and tossed it and been like "k glass is clean"

[@stephencollis1453]

she drinks like a fuckin champ... i'm in love

[@johng5710]

Not bad for someone I assume was not previously a whisky drinker...I was expecting her to spit it out but she handled it like a pro!

[@MMARTSS]

One can never take Whisky to serious.

[@lassekarlsson5385]

having a dalmore 12 right now

[@43SunSon]

How about use your $50,000 scotch to clean the cup?

[@RobertJohnM]

I'm looking for an apprenticeship as a master whiskey blender.Any vacancies Mr.Paterson?

[@OutlookJonas]

That man was by definition "A Boss".

[@Rooster7529]

[@elia19]

" Not this size" So funny!

[@OmnipresentOneness]

Anyone know the name of the first one they tried?

[@Urartus]

Although you have asked this question over half a year ago, I hope you're still interested in the answer. That Whisky would be "Whyte and Mackay". Mr. Paterson, also dubbed "The Nose" is the Master Blender for that distillery.

[@OmnipresentOneness]

+David Yudomsky Thanks! I'll keep an eye out for it.

[@noraanderson367]

this is why i love canada

Who else thought he was goin to throw the normal glass away?😂

[@AgnostosGnostos]

I never understood who they found vanilla, chocolate, honey flavor in whiskey?

[@ramsesthere4]

funny thing is that when you make that Mhm mhm sound, you are actually retro-haling

[@DodgeCity111]

I would drink my own pish after tasting that whiskey.

[@CaptainIgglypuff]

this guys voice.... its so.... oh man its amazing im really drunk man

[@nar4790]

If he threw the 50,000$ scotch on the floor.... I'd cry!

[@Tribalsanne1984]

who the hell throws away there whiskey???

[@Mesa3077Boogie]

i disagree that just because a single malt is one whiskey from one still that it has "one personality" but he is a blend master and he is robert paterson so he must be right.

[@mindchime]

WOW it only took her 5 minute 41 seconds to "love this man". I need to follow what this guy does.

[@kenken-ss7jn]

Did he get late..?
