G'Day Daniel and Rex. I discovered your Channel through The Modern Rogue but it was Daniel's magnificent beard and freakishly extensive Whisk(e)y knowledge had kept me coming back. I love the Whisk(e)y facts almost as much as Rex mooching your drink when you turn away. This has happened on at least three occasions. I"m 18 years old (which is the legal age to drink in Australia) and I have recently completed my RSA Responsible Service of Alcohol. This allows me to legally serve people alcohol. Your explanations of how Whisk(e)y is classified has been a big help as i have recently applied for a Job at a local Club. Keep up the excellent work, you've got yourself a life long fan.

I never learned to appreciate whiskey until recently and almost age 65. I drank my share of JD and WT 40 years ago but never appreciated them. Bought a bottle of Laphroaig Quarter cask last week after watching one of your reviews. Almost spit out the first sip it was so unfamiliar. I won't say bad. but the second sip was different. Not good but not bad. After third sip I started to fall in love. Thank you for making the rest of my life much more enjoyable! I think my wife has a crush on Daniel.

It's become my consistent go-to when sharing a whiskey neat with a friend/guest. Cost me $45 here in NYC, but for me is vastly superior to so many other American whiskeys I've tried around that price point. Great recommendation, Rex!

Then I tested my first Bourbon. Woodford Reserve. My whole world changed. That was I think the greatest experience I had in 2020. Greetings from Germany

I'm also not a smoke snob, I can enjoy a whisky on the mellow, or sweet side. I just think there is far better Scotch at similar price points available (atleast everywhere I've been). I'd make an argument for Knob Creek, Single Barrel for bang for your buck. If you factor in Taste, availability, typical price, and strength. Don't need much of it to get you going, taste deceptively good for the alchohol content, you can find it just about anywhere (in the US) and it's usually not to pricey 30-50 range most places I've been

I'm an American living in the Philippines and it's likely in the running for the best place on the planet to become an alcoholic :-) Johnnie Walker sets the stage here with the Black Label being probably the best deal going at only about $19 a liter; Double Black is about $10 more per liter. Gold Label Reserve is about $25/750ml. The Green Label is about $39/750ml. And the Platinum Label is about $59/750ml. I don't know how that's even possible. But if they're counterfeit then someone is doing a damn good job. For mixing, I've seen the Red Label for as low as $10 a liter. But the Philippines has a decent 5-year-old 80 proof whiskey (White Castle) that works great for that at less than $5 for a 750ml bottle. Glenlivet 12 is about $32/750ml, Glenfiddich 12 a couple of Dollars more. Maker's Mark is about $16.50 for a 750ml bottle. Bulleit is about $28 for a liter. Monkey Shoulder is about $32 for a 750ml bottle, 40% ABV.

Monkey is a blend, and all 3 of the distilleries used sell their individual Scotches for $40+ a bttl. Monkey is deliciously malty. Four Roses Single Barrel at 100 proof, and so many different combos of their recipes, and all are great. Very good bourbon. Good calls.
