Forgot to put this is the video, but which whisk(e)ys do you think deserve more recognition???

[@MDJ5]

Try the 14 honey whiskey from panther distillery. the honey in it settles so you have to shake it

[@briancthayer]

McKenna brown label

[@NWsmallbatchBrewing]

I'm not telling or the price will go up lol. But I'd love y'all to do a video on American Single Malts. I'm so excited about this as a category. McCarthy, Westward, Balcones, etc. This growing category is going to make America great again !

I would but KZbin said No

Definitely Ardbeg (Kappa) Kentucky Spirits Ltd Peaky Blinders Irish Alberta Distillers Limited (in general). Its crazy how many common bottles are just aged or rebranded ADL, not as much as MGP, but so so many.

[@beckobert]

Well, that turned very Texan towards the end. Also, I absolutely love the Omar sherry cask. I had no idea you can pack so much flavour into one sip.

[@StayZero556]

Mellow Corn is straight nostalgia for me. My dad used to drink it and Old Ezra. I was really happy to see Mellow Corn is still in production. I’m pretty new to whiskey but that’s one I like to keep on hand.

[@alphafirestar]

I'm living in Taiwan at the moment and have bought a few (small) Kavalan bottles, but even here they're quite expensive. I've bought Omar as a gift for a friend, but have never tried it myself since all of their offerings are quite expensive also. It was really exciting to see both brands featured here, and since you enjoyed the Omar, I think I'll splurge and pick up a bottle for myself finally!

[@MrCoalcracker79]

The three of you are so entertaining. It's the perfect chemistry. I could watch this for hours.

[@mikemorrissey7928]

These are your best videos along with the blind tastings. Great job all of you, and well done Brianna on her contributions. Her notes, both nose and taste are really interesting and so out of the box thinking it just makes the whole experience even better.

[@restorer19]

Ah, Mellow Corn. The second-ever whiskey I was able to sip neat. Certainly not my favorite, but it let me sidestep the new-oak "cherry" flavor I had been tasting as burnt spiced soap until I acclimated to other flavors enough. To my memory, it tasted like sweet, somewhat grain-ey, cheap Easter chocolate liqueur. (Yes, I drink all my chocolate liqueurs at 50% ABV)

[@thriftgolfer2803]

Went to FEW in the winter I was really impressed by the Rye and the distiller there was amazing so knowledgeable of bourbon. Took a few bottles home no pun intended lol

[@jtf2dan]

@ 7:42 ...you have to love those 6 pack Glencairn glass boxes....so handy when moving multiple glasses!

[@michaelcharlesthearchangel]

Try mini barreling your own blends or single malt- single spirit whiskies. Have a cooper make you a mini barrel with wood staves and wood caps of your choice. Then char it to your leisure (#1-#7). When bottling, filter through a funnel filled with quartz or amethyst or a gem 💎 stone of your choice. *when charcoal filtering, use a funnel loosely packed with wood charcoal of your choice 🥃

[@AlternateDargon]

Recently had a local store point me in the direction of this Gordon & Macphail Glenrothes Distillery whiskey and oh my lord it blew my socks off it was so damn good. They had a barrel pick that was out of this world. 200$ bottle i grabbed immediately after they let me try it. So so good. Ive tried a few others from there and theyve all been lovely.

[@sargelegg6679]

Catskill distillery is 30 min from my house. Good stuff. Also Few makes some of my favorites their Gin is my go to.

They are missing a trick by not having the image of Daniel in the patron saint of whiskey animation set into the stained glass.

I usually don't make comments but lol I don't drink much man I would be polluted after doing one of your videos I love it. You guys are great

[@andrewnorris6474]

I grew up near Elverson PA. So when I go back home I usually have to stop at Brandywine Branch. They also have a limited run custom cask 118 proof that is fantastic. I have yet to try their rye.

[@zackzenron]

Tahwahkaro malted rye whiskey and Leopold bros three chambered rye are definitely the best ryes I've had that I can't get anywhere near me.

[@ncruncher722]

Resurgent is actually one of my favorites!! Awesome to see that in this video!! I’d like to see Stoll and Wolfe Whiskey in next time

[@jacobflores8666]

The tasting notes on that 117 West Rye sound very similar to the tasting notes that I get when I drink the Balcones Rye 100, which also coincidentally has chocolate rye in its mash bill as well. Might be a contributing factor.

[@laner.845]

And both Kavalan sherry cask options at my local Total Wine are almost $600 each. Yeah no, lol, that's not in most people's budgets. I'm interested in the 117 West, though. Looks like they don't ship anymore, so I'll have to take a vacation to San Diego. Been wondering what my first free employee standby flight would be after Covid. Guess I have my answer!

[@trexfighterpilot]

I found the Kavalan Sherry Cask(not Sherry finish) in Guam for $85. Not the cask strength, but still amazing.

[@simbry49]

Brianna is really working out well on the channel. Her tasting notes have impressed both Daniel and So-Han. All ya`ll are great to watch.

Thanks BS Simon! I have much to learn still but I'm gonna try and take this sniffer to the top.

The Sherry Solist by Kavalan is my favorite whisky (as of this moment). I like it more even than all the Cambletown whiskies.

[@ConcaCon]

As a German myself... I appreciate this tip. Because I've not had a truly good German whisky yet. I've tried different Stork Club, Slyrs, and various offerings from the Glina range. Always felt underwhelmed.

@@ConcaCon no problem, tbh, the Hardenberg didn't blew my mind as my first german whisky but for the price of 26€ I think it tastes really good, it's obviously not the best but definetly solid.

Love how Brianna looks a bit lost a few seconds into the video. She looks so adorable at times. While for the cleaning product thought, good thing she has never met and drank Ever Clear that hasn’t been mixed with anything. I haven’t drank it since it can be hard for find it in my area. But if it was located some would be reserved for certain things. Like use in a car, helping to combat radiation if nuclear war occurs and being used to barter for items during the apocalypse. For the bartering point of view it has many use’s with one being, defending my home from raiders.

I've heard good things about Kavalan, but where I'm from it's just stupidly expensive. Like, you can buy five bottles of Auchentoshan American Oak or two-three Macallan Double Casks for the price of one 0.7 liter bottle of freaking Kavalan. I can't imagine it's two-three times better.

[@SGT_Fon]

Beginner question, does the spirt continue to change its flavors after its been bottled or is it locked in after it leaves the cask?

[@hulkslayer626]

It can change. It can change either with age, or it can change because of what you are eating or even from what you have eaten before. So if you ever try a Whisky and you don't like it, wait a while and try it again. If you still don't like it, wait a while and eat something you really like and try it a 3rd time. You might be surprised. (My nephew bought me a bottle of Whistlepig Farmstock Rye and I did not like it. Didn't try it again for months. Then tried it again and loved it. Whisky is a journey, not a destination, so the path is always changing 😉👍

[@hulkslayer626]

I should point out that the Whisky itself isn't changing, just your opinion/tasting notes on it. It doesn't age in the glass... unless you leave it uncorked. Don't ever leave it uncorked. It can spoil if exposed to open air for too long. (Try leaving a little sip of something inexpensive in a glass for a day or two. I'll bet you won't even want to put it in your mouth to find out how the taste changed lol)

[@juliom7113]

Is that Kavalan just the sherry cask version or the Solist Moscatel Sherry Single Cask Strength? Bc the price difference is HUGE!

[@unclemikiesworld]

How about a video about funky Adventure whiskeys? Daniel may have to tap out on that one.
