This video misses a VERY important part of why. That barrel that’s been sitting there for 30 years isn’t just sitting there. It’s handled, extensively, for 30 years. Rotated, tasted, catalogued, analyzed, and stored for 30 years. A lot of hands and time has gone into that bottle.
@pauldickhaus18033 жыл бұрын
They also glossed over taxes and storage space. You're paying taxes on the land those barrels sit on for 50 yrs. In 50 years, you couldve stored 5 seperate barrels of 10 yr old whisky in that spot. Those 5 barrels each would have yielded approx. 85% of their full volume after evaporation compared to the 50 yr old cask at only around 20% remaining volume. So you would get 20x more whisky out of that spot in the rickhouse. Then you have to account for the inflation over 50 yrs in the value of those ingredients, that space, the labor. That's easily another x10 factor so you're looking at approx. 200x cost for a 50yr. whisky compared to a 10 yr. Now add in that the value of your brand may have increased in the last 50 years, the value of scotch as a product due to collectors, etc so you get to add a premium on that of 3-5x and pretty quickly you realize how a 50 yr. scotch can cost 1,000x more that a 10 yr.

There's something that bothers me in the business. It's been studied, that maturation at oak barrels is optimal at around 24 years. After that, oak doesn't give anything because all the lactates and other substances, which give whisky it's aroma, are already dissolved in to the mix. After that whisky in the barrel starts to lose it's aromas back to the oak and through it to the atmosfere. Also the alcohol is vaporing out. It's somewhere around 65-68alc% when the barrel is filled and if you keep in there for 30 years, it's only 40alc% when you get it to bottle. Also there is less aroma and less content in the barrel. And you can taste it in blind test, 40 year old isn't as aromatic and tasteful as 20 or 24 year old. And yes, I do work in distillery.

First, you take the dinglepop, and you smooth it out with a bunch of schleem. The schleem is then repurposed for later batches. Then you take the dinglebop and push it through the grumbo, where the fleeb is rubbed against it. It's important that the fleeb is rubbed, because the fleeb has all of the fleeb juice. Then a Shlami shows up and he rubs it, and spits on it. Then you cut the fleeb. There's several hizzards in the way. The blaffs rub against the chumbles, and the plubus and grumbo are shaved away. That leaves you with a regular old single malt!

Keep in mind the evaporation is much higher at first and drops down. I’ve not heard it estimated as low as 1% though. The master distiller at Pappy Van Winkle says they recover about 12 gallons of whiskey from a 53 gallon barrel after 23 years of aging. The rate of evaporation starts around 8% annually and quickly drops to around 3%. It may be a bit lower in scotch since the barrels are not virgin oak like bourbon barrels are, but the primary driver is scarcity due to the impossible task of market planning 50 years in the future, and angels share.

@spoons Some bacteria are beneficial, some aren't. Uncooked meat can grow many, many different strains of bacteria. E. coli, salmonella, and listeria are not caused by commercial feeds. Trichinellosis is not caused by commercial feeds, it's present in wild game. Anthrax is endemic many parts of the world, can kill large wild animal populations, and has a fatality rate when consumed by humans of 25-60%. Most harmful bacteria and parasites have an initially mild effect. You may have some gastrointestinal symptoms, or nothing, but the organisms will multiply and sustain a population in the host until the host's innate countermeasures become compromised by something else (injury, exhaustion, scarce diet, viral infection, high stress, lack of sleep, hypothermia, dehydration, etc) at which point the bacteria or parasite is able to grow and overpower the host's defenses and consume the host's resources, further weakening the host and making it susceptible to further infection. This is how old animals die, and why they don't reach human-like ages. Again, it may be healthier but it doesn't scale up well. You may kill your own goat and eat it raw that same day, but don't eat raw goat meat from the local store that's been sitting in a refrigerator for 3 days.

@@5tr4nge75 I've got a fair sized whisky collection, much of which is scotch, and honestly there's nothing wrong with Glenfiddich. It's not *particularly* good but it's definitely not particularly bad either. If anything, it kind of sets the baseline for "alright". It's got an easily drinkable well-rounded profile that is pretty much a textbook Speyside... which is both a good thing (it's very approachable for folks not into scotch) and a bad thing (that textbook flavour profile seems kind of boring to anyone who's really into scotch... it's too inoffensive and lacking in character). It's more balanced than its other overly commercialized rival, the Glenlivet, which is much heavier on the oak (which puts off some novices) and less overpriced than the mediocre expressions of the Macallan (the third of the big 3 over-commercialized distilleries). Personally, I'd rather a Balvenie if I want a Speyside and usually suggest that to novice scotch drinkers too, but I'll admit the 15yr Solera and 21yr Glenfiddich are a pleasant enough dram and I've got a bottle of each in the collection (the 21 was a gift). They're not my go-to scotch by any means (that would be Highland Park since I prefer its balance) but they're fine as a change of pace now and then. The 12yr is inoffensive but underwhelming. Still, the 12yr is a huge improvement as a mixer over most blended scotches (some of which sell of about as much) and I keep a bottle for that purpose. Your other recommendations are all fine scotches, but you've got a pair of Islays in there along with Jura. Those are a very different beast from an easy to drink Speyside like Glenfiddich. Balvenie is a far closer comparison. Honestly, Glenfiddich's worst sin was simply becoming so commercially successful that they're viewed with disdain by a lot of scotch aficionados. They have almost zero cachet as a result. It's a perfectly competent distillery and they occasionally produce some noteworthy whiskies but their green 12yr bottle is practically iconic as one of the single-malts that are bought by people who know nothing about single malts.

My Dad used to be the matketing Director of Glenfiddich/Grants whiskey, in the 70s. He eventually developed his own label, Glentalla and Tayside, and was doing well. Then Invergordon and Distillers Co. put all the small independant labels out of business... 😔 this was the 80s/early 90s.

Then they undercut the independants prices (Dad sold exclusively in Australia, S Africa and Japan - was just starting to open up the European market). He had a million dollar contract with an Australian hotel chain, and Invergorden came in and undercut him, then they kept it in court indefinitely, my Dad went bankrupt trying to get the broken contract legally dealt with.

I feel like this is a bit misleading, honestly. The video's essentially explaining why the ceiling for incredibly rare and specific single malts are so high, and making it sound like the average price is that high. Where I live(Sweden), most single malts cost 30-100€, which is kind of a lot but not sell your house a lot. I mean after all, I expect to pay 30-50€ for rum here, which absolutely doesn't have that prestige. Sure they get really expensive, but that's because there's basically no price ceiling, not because every single single malt costs its weight in diamond. I know it's still not super cheap, but I would 100% have the same reaction if I saw a video called "why cars are so expensive" that spent 90% of screentime talking about why a Lamborghini is expensive: like sure a Ford is expensive too but it's not 300 000 €

I absolutely agree. Single malt whisky is not inherently more expensive to make than other types of whisky. "Single" means it's from one single distillery and not blended with other whiskies, and "malt" means it's made from barley. They make it sound like single malt is so rare it's only for the rich but it's just so common.

Is there any sort of difference outside of status when it comes to such an expensive bottle? I spent 600 on a glass of bourbon once during a special event and it was decent, but not far off compared to a 10 dollar bottle. The difference is smoothness in terms of the lack of the burn coming from the alcohol. I didnt find that to be anything special honestly. The flavor really wasnt that impactful. In fact, Ive had dirt cheap whiskey with a rich flavor profile in comparison. Yeah, it burned a bit more, but I thought flavor was the key point?

A lot of it is marketing. Single malt is still blended whiskey - what makes it "single" malt and not "blended" malt is that all of the whiskies used in the blending comes from one distillery. So there are still multiple different whiskies blended together in a single malt just like blended malts. The "malt" is more important than the "single" part. A malt whiskey is made with a single grain - malted barley, but will always be a blend of multiple different whiskies aged in different barrels for different amounts of time. "Grain" whiskey is where multiple grains are used, so it could be a blend of barley, rice, bran etc. etc. whiskies. However, a grain whiskey can also be a "single grain" whiskey if all of the whiskies used in the blending are made in the same distillery. Long story short, the "single" part matters much less than whether its a "malt" or a "grain" whiskey and ultimately what determines quality is skill of the master blender and not the classification of the whiskey.
