[@thurstonhowell-3]

Hate it when I rent the wrong hotel room. Lmao. In all seriousness (?) - Julian is a clown.

[@Roman_Carter]

Be kind no swirly 💩 thanks for teaching

[@uwrossl]

Please never stop making videos! Hilarious content that informs at the same time. Love the channel.

[@jasoncoates1835]

"Don't shake your bourbon, you might upset it." but also "Major brand ships bourbon all across the world for retail distribution via freight company that gives precisely negative-one fucks about how it's handled."

[@raulg2529]

"I'm just going to set it down there...reeeeeaaal careful, don't want to upset it...THIS 1/2 oz of Pappy's 23, is getting an SJ." 🤣 God I love this channel! keep up the good work Matt!

[@Mighty_Mouse_2501]

I was gonna say the exact same thing 😆 I laughed out loud 🤣

[@Bill.K.]

That had me laughing the entire way through it. Super glad you enjoyed the sample….and I got that bad boy at retail! 😃

[@dbealby]

Good man

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Daaaaang!!

[@David-so9qx]

Retail, that's awesome!

[@davidmeier1811]

OMG that is some funny shit. Dude, you need to come visit us at the world's most sarcastic distillery cuz you got the sarcasm down! I'm in the biz so I have to be careful not to piss off everyone, but I am not very careful. There is a whole lot of pretention in this biz now. I love how you call it like it is.

[@stuffandwhiskey]

Saw that video and somehow knew this video was coming sooner or later. Simply brilliant! 😂

[@sethjohnson2287]

How is it possible that you don't have the most subscribers on whiskeytube? Keep it up, no one does it like you

[@lawrencespies8674]

i remember one of your older videos and you were talking about someone telling you not to swirl the whiskey in the glass. If all the "aggravation" the bourbon encounters during transfer, bottling, packing , shipment, etc... does not "aggravate" the bourbon... a few swirls in the glass is not going to hurt a thing.

[@baaa4698]

Common sense is so uncommon. Thank you for your fact based sanity check.

[@gmlongo1]

"It's not wine...wine doesn't have alcohol" 🤣

[@troyc.5667]

Thank you for making me laugh out loud tonight. Needed this video today! Cheers!

[@trekkingteerex]

Watched the Caffe Gelato video when it came out and thought of the SJ immediately! Tried to follow Julian's "advice," and quickly abandoned it and went back to how I normally drink. Love your take, Matt, and will continue watching; keep up the great videos!

[@sowhat...]

Idk what SJ means but seeing this guy I wouldn't be surprised if it was a term he made up that stood for swishjob? 🤣

[@1125mikem]

As a newbie to Bourbon I have jumped in with 2 feet for the last year or so. I saw that video when it came out and was rather confused by both that point about swirling and his overall kinda of unpreparedness.. which that part I chalked up to slight discomfort in front of the camera.. anyways.. thanks for the perspective Matt! Btw I found you from SLB being in your Matt MADNESS.. SO NEW SUB!

[@slyfox7429]

Ya good one Matt. I have listened to other youtube channels mention that you should not swirl the whiskey. Rather one should hold the glass at a 45 degree angle or a 37 degree angle or whatever angle you want and then turn the glass to coat the inside of the glass. I also SJ my whiskey and find that is best. The whole concept to the SJ is to add air to the whiskey (aggravate)

[@DarrinMartinVW]

This is the first video of yours I've seen, and it will not be the last. As another ADHD Bourbon lover, I fully appreciate your style and personality. Keep up the good work!!!

[@BurtsBees33]

I just watched that video yesterday and thought of you immediately when he said not to give it an SJ lol. Perfect timing on your video.

[@carpeweekendem1489]

Julian looked so unprepared in that video. It’s like he was going about his day and out of the blue he sat in front of a camera with a dude he never met and someone said "ACTION!" without knowing what the dude was going to ask him. Weird.

[@jacksmith2315]

Ya...he seems kinda awkward

[@mikeg5192]

FRIGGIN HILARIOUS !!!!!! KEEP THEM VIDEOS COMING MATT

[@Dustydanswhiskeyreviews]

This may be one of the best videos I've seen lol! Cheers buddy 🥃

[@KonantheBourbonian]

This video is hilarious, Matt. I watched the video with Julian a few days ago and was completely befuddled by his nosing recommendation. I will continue to swirl away.

[@patrickq7489]

I hope you took LOTS of notes Matt...just think how good you'll be at tasting whiskey in the future with all of this new knowledge.😁😉

[@lfd_eng9219]

Watched this one a couple of times...over the top laughter!!!! The comparison of glasses to hotel rooms...that brought tears...and so dang true! On the serious side...my pallet is just beginning to become educated...so a Pappy 23 would be wasted on me at this point. So thanks for the tips...and the laughter!!!

[@marklee9374]

Funny video Matt! Thanks!

[@jakeizlove]

Thanks for The Kinsey Report!!

[@sconniepizza_and_whiskey6315]

Great stuff! Really enjoyed this WW.

[@milesbarden3894]

This 23 year whiskey gave Matt 23 seconds of total zen starting at 14:02.

[@martyp5976]

Si, great content as always!

[@DaveH8905]

I think he is right about the swirling. I preliminarily coat the glass and do an initial swirl, but then let it sit for a while. I agree with him, as soon as you swirl you get way more ethanol and fumes. This is just my experience. But, I agree that his glass is garbage.

[@jayyoung9305]

I really needed you to put on a full ninja suit when b4 you 'sneaked' up on that second glass of Pappy.

[@donaldweir7008]

Adding air into any solvent changes circumstances in one way or another. It's nice to appreciate the aspects of things as they open and close in many different ways. Oxygen is very powerful. There are many ways to experience something.

[@ItsShatter]

You’re my new favorite whiskey tuber

[@dereckholben937]

I absolutely love watching your videos!! Very informative and hilarious!! I am laughing so hard during the SJ part, that I am crying!! LOVE IT!!

[@sparc0man]

I love the "B". fan of the B and I had no idea it could be aggravated . But to be honest I only swirl wine and cognac. I must also say you make me laugh out loud and thank you for that Sir. Keep going.

[@jamesstreet1144]

Brilliant video, thanks!

[@ryanjimison1747]

Only thing I learned is that I'm going to give my next pour one heckuva SJ.

[@toddpote2937]

One thing I missed was I have to drink Pappy Vanwinkle out of the bottle, Sh*t now I have to travel to Oregon to pick up a case ! And yes the Pappy Vanwinkle family is whiskey royalty love that brown nectar!!! Very entertaining video /// peace y'al

[@whiskycentral]

10:00 I feel like he made it weird.. haha 🤣

[@kevinbroering8896]

Was totally gonna say that buffalo trace glass he was using was not good for sipping😂😂😂 and them you said it…hilarious!!!!

[@retrolee]

Another 15 min well spent---- Thanks & Cheers !

[@jeffreywiener2563]

I was treated to a high end bourbon tasting at the Fountain Inn in DC...the owner went nuts when I gave the Pappy 15 an SJ.

[@Bourbonbelly231]

What brand glasses do you use in your videos Matt? I dig the look

[@billscott6819]

The sneak up had me dying, oh dear lord you are a funny funny man.

[@jessehughes3741]

Matt just like to say you look good my dude keep up the good work on your diet and thanks for your content. Like ol Joe derrtay said keep on keeping on brother. Life's a garden dig it.

[@allanm7589]

Great video man you had me cracking up

[@Condor987]

Good lord that was hilarious! Good laugh on a day I needed it. Thank you.

[@nefarious_saint]

If it’s 23 years old… then it was barreled in 2000 or 1999. That’s before Buffalo trace bought pappy. Would this mean you have stitzel weller pappy??!

[@deertime6297]

That was one of your best!! Be you, that’s why we watch you 🥃

[@993C2S]

Best Pappy 23 review ever dude. Love it. Please make videos till you’re 99 years old. God bless.

[@mrjiggs8]

Bill Nye Science Guy look out.... this is some serious Science Stuff right here.... Dang Cody drinking all the Pappy with Julian Van Winkle III, no wonder we can't get any Cody's drinking it all.... Have a Wonderful Week Everyone, Cheers 🥃🥃

[@coltknight3945]

I watched that video, and I remember laughing later in the video when he swirls the glass just like he said not too. So even he can't not swirl it.

[@jeremymcbride]

Most I ever learned about bourbon tasting was from Limestone Branch Distillery - They explained to smell from right to left, focusing on 1 nostril at a time. Just like the right and left halves of your brain do different things - so do your nostrils. One side will tend to be more savory and the other will be more sweet. Helps you dissect different profiles before sipping - and since most of your taste comes from what you smell - more distinct smells = more profound bourbon tasting experiences.

[@LitoCortes]

I'm with you. Drink it however you want. I don't agitate furiously but I do lean the glass to cover the inside to fully get the aromas. Cheers 🥃

[@jsherrydds]

Matt, I completely agree with you about swirling. It cracks me up when I see you acting like you don’t know what you are doing and you absolutely know what you are doing! Keep it up! Great and funny stuff!

[@ADHDWhiskey]

I have no idea what I'm doing.

[@johnnybrennan1157]

Wonderful video! Sarcasm is our friend.

[@garyloomis4961]

Matt, that was right up there with some of your top videos. You are one funny son of a cawk !

[@remander3873]

I have to say that I've had Pappy 23 on multiple occasions, and I am one of those who thinks it's overrated. I would never, ever pay secondary prices for it. If I can get a bottle at MSRP or in a raffle, fine. Honestly, I'd probably just turn around and sell it to someone. It's not worth the ridiculous prices you're likely to find it at. There are many other $200ish bourbons out there that are equivalent or better.

[@tylersmith3626]

😂😂😂💀💀💀 I literally thought the same when I watched that video. You’re the best!

[@rednoble]

Looking good slim!

[@brandonparker158]

Dude I love your channel!!!

[@tylerdavis8722]

I totally saw the video and thought about you Matt. Spin that whiskey!

[@wilhallman2890]

That guy reminds me so much of Jim Lahey from Trailer Park Boys, which makes his name Julian even funnier haha... "let the whiskey do the thinking"

[@The4Wills]

I’ll try both, I think the low proof point makes JVW not want to loose any, while the SJ brings out more different flavors but possibly less alcohol? I have not have the privilege of tasting such glory as a PVW23. Cheers Matt

[@whiskyinsv]

LOL u made me LOL so many times had to sub and go on a binge of ur channel

[@regslugo4038]

Solid list of just great, overall whiskies that mostly outshines Blanton’s. The missing item for the list I would add is John J Bowman SiB.

[@michaelschutte436]

If I want advise on how to market scarcity on great bourbon, I’ll turn to VW3. But I agree that video looked a little like they woke him early from his nap to do a surprise video. Let’s try and get a ADHD fan who happens to be in chemistry to break down the differences in the two glasses of any bourbon. Is more alcohol released in an SJ vs a rest? Are the fumes given off the two glasses detectably different, or just in your mind? Science can tell us more than inheritance!

[@a.w.3480]

well, i feel like an IDIOT now... ive been doing it all wrong for years!

[@brandonmaas7779]

Where did you get your whiskey glasses

[@stevenshytles3484]

Matt, you are the man.

[@877-MASH-NOW]

I came across this the other day and I immediately thought of you Matt. 🤣😂. SJ Whiskey Cheers 😎😎

[@jbbourbon178]

All I learned is that oils have smells….and they multiply making more smells….and I need a dishwasher….

[@mstong59]

Howdy Matt...do you publish a list of your bourbons and ratings?

[@Hofodikfo]

Rating this video a 9.5 Matt... cause it was outstanding.

[@JAHSservent]

Thanks for this one, Matt. Freakin Hilarious!

[@theproofisinthepour]

Friggen hilarious how you snuck up on that little bugger.

[@tonylopez6213]

I like the single bourbon reviews you do or the double bass like Mash&Drum does it, but still my favorites and gold standard is the double blind. I would love to see more of those from the whiskey tubers.

[@tonylopez6213]

@MattPorterADHD Scam!!! Scam!!! #fake

[@sacredconnectionscounseling]

I saw the video with Julien a couple weeks ago and I immediately thought of you when he said not to swirl it! I'm so glad you decided to show the supposed "expert" how it's done! Great video!

[@Bfordandafter]

He isn't a supposed expert, ha.... but sure, swirl it if you want to.....

[@thickerliquor]

Don't sell yourself short . . . If I had more hands, I'd use them drink bourbon !!

[@erikk7284]

Didn't someone tell you something similar about giving an SJ to Irish whiskey? I think it was one of the higher aged red breasts

[@jj354fun]

Best video ever! well done

[@francisrizzo1529]

You do you, Boo. Solid advice right there from WTWT. PS - IT'S ALMOST TIME FOR ELIMINATION ROUNDS OF MATT MADNESS!

[@rusticmade]

😅😅😅 Matt one of my favorites! Hall of fame my friend 🙌

[@BrewinSTL]

The guy makes good whiskey, but he doesn't seem to know a lot about the art of tasting it. Oh...and you aggravated it SO hard. That SJ aggravated the heck out of it. So much that all the aroma had to leap into your nose in protest.

[@kenwestern2821]

We only follow direction from the world's best whiskey taster...that guy doesn't know calf scours from Apple butter, Matt!

[@Thrashzer]

I love ya dude, loving the SJ's!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@tonyp2569]

Your the best around !!

[@BourgbonKing]

KZbin needs more people making content like Matt on other stuff. This is the perfect amount of information and absolute entertainment.

[@Systemaman]

Here I am with Turkey 101... Opps, spilled a little. Bah. Best bang for the bucks I'll save.

[@trentonfettig7265]

Throwing Pappy under the bus and saying "F' it". Nice.

[@FaceIntoKeyboard]

If it's your profile and you enjoy it, no shame in being honest about it. Not everyone likes oak, so I get why they don't like it. Hell, I wish I could get a sample like this just to try it once in my life, like it or not.

[@leeboling2990]

Matt I’m all for listening to “bourbon royalty” however this Gangster totally disregards the 5th taste we get on the pallet “umami” so I believe you should continue to taste it the way you have been tasting and give that 23 year old bugger the best SJ you’ve ever given in your life. Keep your mind on Sj’s

[@leeboling2990]

Hey Matt, something tells me this giveaway comment is not real, I’ve never seen it before this video. If you find the time could you please verify if these are fake? It worries me because I sent my email to the link posted. Have a great weekend. Thank you for last night’s amazing Matt madness

[@whiskeyberger5029]

Is one of the 4 spots on your tongue the G-spot? I'm still trying to locate that darn thing.

[@coreyclark6505]

Both coating the glass and letting the bourbon mix with oxygen would change what’s in the glass.

[@1skippysmooth]

If I were a glass of whiskey I would be agitated at not getting a good SJ. Everybody needs a good SJ on a regular basis.

[@IndianaJoe0321]

I see what you did there. 🙂

[@timshulepov]

9:19 -- "well planned, Pluto"? What does that mean? Is that a Disney reference?

[@dstromboli7945]

That's not a Van Winkle its Mr Jim Lahey from Trailer Park Boys.

[@justinafuchs2619]

Well, I’m happy Julian said it: “Don’t swirl it, it’s not wine” 😊 Seriously, watching Matt swirling the whiskey always drives me crazy 😅 It doesn’t help, Matt! On the contrary .. And you don’t have to swirl the whiskey to coat the glass, but I guess you already know that. So there’s no reason to be defiant about it 😂 On the other hand, you do you. You’re a great whiskey taster, and it doesn’t seem to bother you, right?

[@richardx7740]

Ya .. Swirl away Matt..... Enjoy it the way you like.... Love ya man

[@TRIKushbeachside]

He also said they water it down to 30 proof when tasting barrels 🥴like what the hell is the point of even tasting them

[@toddlksbrbn]

Matt your looking great! Your wife must be loving your new bod!

[@WhiskeyFancies]

Fun video. Pappy 20 wasnt the best I ever had but I wouldn't say no...ya know what I mean? 23, hell yeah I would try that. Cheers!
