Jim Murray Penderyn Whisky TASTING MasterClass

Jim Murray Penderyn Whisky Tasting MasterClass
Glen was invited to a private sit down whisky tasting with Jim Murray, author of the Whisky Bible. The location was a little tough (a lean-to on the back of a bar) and the weather was rainy cold and miserable. But we made it work! Welsh whisky maker Penderyn gave us their entire line-up and we chose two bottles to walk through in a Jim Murray whisky tasting masterclass.
This is the full raw video without any edits - probably only enjoyable to whisky geeks like us.

The rain, the whiskey, and the accent make this experience so comforting

[@johnlane1253]

Fantastic video!!! The rain is great

[@TonyAlmeida610]

I love old recipes, whisky, craft beer, cocktails, wood fire ovens, so this channel is perfect

[@TokyoJim618]

This video isn't showing up in my subscriptions, anyone else notice this? uTube must be screwing around again. Great video.

[@ElijsDima]

same. Very odd. It's not showing in the "Subscriptions" tab, even though there should be no filtering shenanigans in that tab.

[@MSI2k]

I don't even drink and this was so cool to watch. That man knows his thing. At least hes got the accent to tell me knows his thing :)

[@DonGerico]

Killing it on the content guys. Found this episode really interesting. MORE!

[@GaboneG60]

Very interesting and relaxing video, I just wish it were longer! I don't drink whisky, but I could sit and listen to Jim Murray for hours.

[@LinkRocks]

This didn't show up in my notifications and I'm subscribed. Instead it showed up in my recommendations. Hope no one else is having that issue.

[@Parazeta]

I do. No clue what's happening here

[@Orcao]

Same, this also didn't show up in my sub box. Looks like youtube is trying out yet another curated sub box algorithm thing again. Why is it so hard for them to grasp that if I sub to a channel, then I want all of their uploads in my sub box? They pull this over and over and the backlash is always the same.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Fascinating video, expertise and character combined. Now I know the Murray Method of tasting. Probably I'll purchase his book to help me understand more and to select whiskeys that will expand my palate.

[@benrawlins4037]

I'm going for a tasting master class to the Penderyn distillery in a couple of days! Can't wait!

[@FitzChivalry]

Love this video. Watching someone talk about their passion is always so interesting.

[@silversmoke8398]

The rain, whiskey, and visuals look like Red Dead. Great aesthetic to this video.

[@Siriusly_Sirius]

Jim Murray??!! 😱 Brilliant video. 🙌🏼

[@AD-kv9kj]

I love a very peaty whisky. Lagavulin may be a fairly obvious choice but is still one of my favourites - when left in the glass for a while I find it softens and opens up beautifully becoming very smooth and not just peat smokeyness but gorgeous honey and salty notes that I just love. Quite complex and rich.

[@stephane.foisy.186]

Thanks for sharing. Always open to new ideas.

[@skycarl]

That was crazy excellent.. thanks ps,,, btw, this didn't show up in my sub section,,, just in the recommends ,,, go figure YT.

[@julilla1]

I enjoyed this a lot and learned some things, like maybe I should try a Welsh whisky! I was a bit squeamish when good whisky was being spit out though...drink it! Oh, the waste! lol

[@1234doawee]

Watched this so many times. Couldn you do more of these with the rain?

[@saltsmath1712]

Dang Glen. Should have grown out your mustashe for this one!

[@jamesmihalcik1310]

Wonderful to sit with a friend and explore the culmination of experience, experimentation, storage from simple ingredients. All found, within a sip of the elusive fine spirit. Excellent video! Subscribed :)

[@style11guru]

I've shared this with the whiskeytribe

[@Old_SnakeTwitch]

at least i know im not the only one who likes their whisky warm, I usually wash the glass with super hot water and let the glass warm it up

[@CagedPaps]

I have some Penderyn, didn't know what it was back when I bought it. Glad he mentioned they don't use caramel anymore, it was something I liked about them. Not sure what the prices will be like in NA but they're pretty reasonable over here (Scotland). Worth trying.

[@1234doawee]

Had a bottle of the Dragon. Was fantastic, highly recommend.

[@MrPoogly]

Very cool er, I mean warm

[@canuckled]

My local LCBO won't bring it in :( Great and informative video, thanks!

[@datslamman]

Stellar stuff

[@grantmuir8722]

Jim LOVES Penderyn! I have tried a few. I am not overly convinced. I have a lot to learn or I suppose it depends on your taste!

[@benjaminencarmine]

Should've included the sound of the rain somehow. Great video, great vibe. Keep it up.

[@SpaceManRD]

He's everything I pictured a whiskey taster to be.

[@13Yeared]

Spectacular. This showed up in my feed as I was finishing off a bottle of Laphroaig scotch. I recommend it, though its flavor can be a little overwhelming.

[@glennwiebe5128]

For me, it was like someone lit an oak fire in my mouth and then put it out with a fire hose. My bro-in-law is quickly becoming a whisky snob and had me try his Laphroaig. Needless to say, it was too much for me. No smoke, no peat for me. I guess I'm a whisky noob.

[@drogon3142]

Very reliable tasting methods.

[@DFMurray]

Too funny. He didn't smell anything lol

[@Adrian802]

One thing that I agree with Murray is people having this impression that Whisky is only Scotch, Scotch sets the standard. There are tons of products out there that have yet to be discovered or domestically consumed to a point where it doesn't get get exported. Everyone goes nuts for Japanese and bourbon, but Canadian Whiskies are gradually getting noticed. The most common ones exported are pretty much bottom shelves, while the premium to ultra premium ones are bought up domestically.

[@FrostlordTheWizard]

Your best episode so far (subjective of course)

[@bgrigg07]

I have one of Jim's earlier books "The Complete Book of Whiskies". Wonderful book.

[@VibeXplorer]

It is! Reading it as I write this…

[@hman9488]

That guy ain't smelling any fruit. LOL!!

[@brendannolan2508]

Wow Jim Murray! Good job, Glen!

[@l-bird]

Hmm, youtube? This never showed up in my feed. I noticed it in the 'recommended' vids. Went back and looked through my feed, & nope, still not there 😒 None-the-less it was interesting to see, but I kept thinking how difficult it is to sit with an "expert" and still be able to enjoy the tasting without feeling like your every move is being judged 😊

[@JPAnor]

same here, glad it showed up in the recommendations.

[@tonyriscool]

very insightful!!

[@Woffie70]

Hey Glen! Could ya list what ones you tasted? I would love to try some of them! Or...maybe drop a link to his books if there is an Amazon affiliate link or something.

[@upinarms79]

Very interesting. I've never had Welsh Whisky, though I'd imagine it must be something akin to Irish and Canadian Whisky, probably light, fruity and smooth.

[@randymack1782]

while I never got to understanding all the whiskeys, I do tend to know a bit on moonshine, & flavor profiles of them, & how different ingredients, as well as whether still is all copper, or partly stainless changes flavor profile. 1 of my favorites is a good corn flavor shine, with mulberries soaking for flavor. unfortunately my source for that was busted a few years ago. but I do live close to "the moonshine capital of the world" you can actually google that. there may be 3, but look at Virginia. lol. some local stores sell the shirts proclaiming it too. lol

[@truthwisdom]

I love Canadians!

[@cajunsmurf4354]

Question..... once the tasting is done. Does he just drink away at the ones he likes, or does he sit there sniffing and "chewing" but swallowing after? Meaning how does he go about drinking it when he buys a bottle for home?

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

Very good question -

[@cajunsmurf4354]

After watching to see how he tasted them i tried last night trying to actually taste the flavors claimed by JW Gold, which was fun, but to sit there sipping and tasting would take me all day. When enjoying a compatible cigar its one thing but at home i wanna taste and get a buzz lol. Just wondered if he divulged any info into his personal way of actually "having a drink" will be searching for the bible though.

[@SoapieScot]

What was that whiskey he mentioned in the last minute of the video? Brinteffin? Brendeffin? Not sure but the way he described it made me instantly curious to try it.

[@NiallBenzie]

Bryn Terfel

[@brenthooton3412]

Bryn Terfel. He is a Welsh opera singer. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryn_Terfel

[@megandavies9309]

Penderyn. Welsh distillery

[@piratewhoisquiet]

"We were told [adding colour] doesn't make any difference" maybe not to whoever told you that it doesn't haha Even if it didn't change the taste (which it very, very slightly does) it would still change the rest of the experience, which is just as important

[@raelik777]

Being primarily a scotch drinker (Isla mostly), I have to say that Penderyn makes some excellent whisky. I've also had some excellent Irish whisky, being particularly fond of the Redbreast Lustau, and the Connemara 12.

[@Christian_from_Copenhagen]

This method is very idiosyncratic and reminds me somewhat of Richard Paterson. Jim Murray has been under fire for some metoo critique of sexualised reviews in the 'bible' recently, but he seems like a charming fellow and fun to share a dram with!

[@michaelqiu9722]

You look like Richard Dawkins in the thumbnail

[@dougharlow6037]

Very interesting video. Thanks. I've never drank whisky before. Could you please tells me the difference of the below whisky;s and or refer me to a youtube channel that does a comparison between Crown Royal XO vs Crown Royal 75th Anniversary vs Crown Royal XR who’s the winner

[@darrelcdammann]

20k whiskeys..... man, i'm kinda jealous lol 🥃 🇨🇦

[@AriesSupertramp]

2k not 20k

[@ipodtouchguru3]

Lol wtf he just spit out all the whiskey !?

[@danyjr]

We call people like these whiskywankaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@JohnsDrams]

This video did not age well :/

[@russellesimonetta3835]

I like to gargle it. Oh and i swallow ,, never spit.

[@TexasDirtyDan]

This guy telling ppl how to smell

[@aceelectriccompany1181]

To me, taste and smell are an individual personal thing. I can see that Glen does not smell what the author smells. There are many beers and liquors that I prefer that are "cheap".

[@KyleMc15]

Scottish whiskey is the best

[@ProxxSnipez]

What does he have to do with this brand?

[@Anriru]

Well seems like he found them when they were starting and turned out they make good whisky but not many people know about them. So it sounds like "Damn I like this so much I must tell others about it"

[@ProxxSnipez]

@@Anriru yeah after watching the whole video he seems like he just really enjoys whiskey and wants others to know what is good and what isn't

[@mannycowen8357]

Murray top grifter

[@triplecap4307]

I guess everybody is cool with Murray telling him what's what. I think it is pompous and/or just wrong to do that.
