My friend and I once took whiskey shots in college and chased it with milk, which is all we had available. I can confidently say 15 years later that this is the wrong way to drink whiskey.

The thing with Scotch though is that these days the regions don't really matter as much as they used to. You can get unpeated sherried Islay scotch, and likewise find peated Highland or Speyside. I break scotch down more by flavor profiles and cask types.

[@TheWhiskeyDictionary]

That's good insight and something I'll likely explore more in depth for a future video on the different regions of Scotland. Thanks Brego!

@@TheWhiskeyDictionary so, ever since i asked you about woodford reserve i have tried: glenfiddich 12, makers mark, wild turkey 101, jack daniels (old edition or something, it had 43% alcohol), evan williams extra aged. I would say i liked woodford reserve and makers mark (i liled it because i think falls between the heavy flavor profile of evan williams and fruitiness of scotch single malts). Wild turkey 101 i just can't drink it without water, the alcohol content is too high for my palate.

Excellent video for the down to earth, sensible advice. A question : do experts like you actually do a lot of sniffing of honey, vanilla, fruits collection( fruity), dark chocolate, leather, spices ( which ones?),smoke, oak wood etc etc so that you can build up a "smell library" to help you identify the flavour components in a whisky you're nosing ? How do you build up a taste library? Do you actually chew inedible stuff like oakwood, for example so that you can identify it in the tasting? Finally, am I the first one to ask such a silly question!?

[@TheWhiskeyDictionary]

Hey Karnal! First off, nope you're not the first one to ask that question and it's not silly. Honestly, it's exactly what i do. I buy different types of lemons, smell vanilla in different stages (bean, mexican vanilla extract, cheapo vanilla extract), smell all different kinds of fruits. It's hard to remember what everything smells like but most of it ties to memories and that's how i try to recall what I'm smelling.

[@user-uq4zk5rh4i]

Thanks for the video! I have a couple of questions about bourbon please. 1) What makes the flavor profile besides mash bill and the type of oak of the barrel? 2) Many talk about tasting fruits, caramel, brown sugar...etc. Do distillers actually add such flavors?

[@TheWhiskeyDictionary]

1. 99% of the flavor comes from the mashbill and the oak. There's a minute bit of mouthfeel imparted by the type of water that's used (hard water, soft water). But it's a combination of the distillate, where in the "cut" they take the evaporating alcohol, and the barrels. 2. Nope, in order to call something whiskey it needs to be 40% ABV (at least) and it can't have any additional additives. Some countries allow for artificial coloring which is used to keep the product looking the same across bottles. Great questions!

[@gfrank9772]

I disagree about the Norlan Glass. Is it pricey, yes but it works equivalent to a Glencairn. It’s more about personal preference and what kind of glassware looks more appealing. I think they look stunning and the ability to grip it like a tumbler is actually nice. My subjective take is the Glencairn looks pretentious in some circumstances and it doesn’t fit with my personal style. I do find it weird that you call it a gimmick because Bruichladdich endorsed the Norlan heavily when it was created. Overall though a good whiskey glass is the one you like to drink it from.

[@WhispyWoods.]

I've been watching your channel for a long time. I'd like to think I'm not a total beginner but I still got a lot out of this vid. Great idea for a topic! Love the backdrop for this video. Here's my question. I have a good set of rocks glasses. If I'm not as much into the nosing as the actual drinking should I still seek out a glencairn or am I ok sipping my best bourbon from my rocks glass? Thank you!!

[@TheWhiskeyDictionary]

If you're just drinking bourbon, and you're not really that into nosing, then you're totally fine with rocks glasses. That being said, you owe it to yourself to get one or two Glencairns.

See you spelt Whiskey with an E there is a difference between Scotch and Irish beside the E , Irish whiskey the barley is not roasted and is trebled distilled .
