Why Scotch Is AWESOME!!! | Exploring Scotch With a Bourbon Guy

Don’t know if you will read this Jeremy. You lost a viewer today as my dad passed from Covid. He was 59. We would watch your videos and talk about them. Thanks for providing me happy memory.

Bourbon , scotch. Love em both!!

[@stevesmith9447]

As a brewer, it's important to stand up for "drink what you love to drink." For me, I'll happily take a Balvenie doublewood.

[@mattjohnson891]

I’m born, raised and lived in Scotland and recently started dating an American girl, we watched this video and it was a phenomenal intro to scotch for her! Great video!

[@adune23]

Bourbon is perfectly nice, but Scotch has a depth and range that puts in on a whole different level. I love bourbon because it was my gateway into Scotch.

Glenlivet 12 is a GREAT Scotch to start with. Easy to sip and easy to understand the notes that come with a Scotch.

[@HamiltonRb]

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer

[@SH43418]

I just started watching your videos this morning and in the process I got called in to my work. After a rough day of work you inspired me to grab a bottle of bourbon before heading home. Great idea. It was the perfect way to help unwind from the day.

[@lth_lch]

Love my Islays, particularly Ardbeg and Bruichladdich. A little too attached to them, actually. I have a hard time convincing myself to try other whiskies.

[@Nasosdag]

I am a whisk(e)y guy through and through (I love gin, rum and tequila, but when asked "what's your drink", I automatically say "whisky"). Love it. Malt, blended, irish, bourbon, rye, you name it, I love it. It is simply an incredible human creation. But if I were forced to choose one whisky to drink for the rest of my life, it would have to be Scotch. Useless info of the day (or evening): One of my very favourites is Lagavulin. Great video. PS: Jeremy is right. It's "Eye-la". ;)

[@waydegardner7373]

I’m an old school scotch drinker for 40+ years and recently decided it was time to experience good bourbon. My “transition” drink is (was?) single pot still Irish whisky, specifically Red Breast 12. Listen to a few opinions and got 6 bottles of recommended KY bourbon. It’s been an interesting journey. Went to Bardstown and man if you’ve never stepped into a rickhouse you’re missing out on one of life’s great experiences. That 145° white dog straight out of the column is vicious. There are only 4-5 scotches I would recommend to newbies. Great insight.

[@jordanf4157]

Treacle is on the description for Ardbeg Uigeadail. It's a thick and sticky dark syrup from refined sugar. It looks sorta like molasses, like the other comments said! Great video, always look forward to your videos!

[@TimHPop776]

What a fantastic video on scotch! I got into that about a year ago but, haven’t really expanded at all. This was really an eye-opener and having an unbiased second opinion was huge. Well done guys!

[@Sleepy_spartan717]

Had me dying the entire video with the office cut scenes 😂😂. Need more with you and your wife. The back and forth is perfect.

[@mattbaker1683]

I managed to get on the Edinburgh whisky tour last year and what an eye opener it was, the depth and nuance of the different regions totally blew me away, prior to that I'd always either liked a whisky or pretended to. Unfortunately the border is closed to us English right now but should be open soon. Also I don't know if it's in your remit but the Irish have a fair history of Whisky and there's Manx spirit in between, not aged long enough to legally be called a whisky. As for Bourbon, it's never been a thing for me, we get Wild Turkey and Buffalo Trace, and the usual JD and JB but that's about all. Great video, thanks. And thanks also to the wife for making it so entertaining 👍

[@glttheriault]

You got me in the first 30 sec! Totally agree with you, Scotch is a great change for the palette! That cut after: "Am I suppose to hold it in my mouth?" Great cut and so perfect in that context! Let's say, good thing I wasn't taking a sip at that time! Those names and those descriptions are very interesting. I got introduce this year to Islay scotch Laphroaig and Ardbegs. I really enjoy those, but you have to go check the Laphroaig website and check their description video. Hilarious! Laphroaig is not nice to the nose but the taste and after taste are very surprising after smelling it! Awesome video and interesting to see Alison's reactions.

[@mbs4298]

Love the extra little touches in the edit on this one!

[@JeremySiers]

Thanks man!!

[@Valkyrie1911]

I didn't like Islays at first, but now they're my preference (and I love bourbon too). Best when paired with a good steak.

[@katzsteel]

Hell, it’s all good! Aged Tequila, rum, bourbon, scotch, etc..

[@wcolmer2]

I'm not huge into alcohol. But I like Laphroiag.

[@johncarey5385]

OMG... You guys have me LMAO! I have only had scotch one time about 20 years ago. After watching this I am definitely going to revisit it. Thanks for review and the laughs!

[@michaeldegaetano4497]

I started off mostly enjoying bourbons with the mindset to try Scotch one day. Had the crazy idea to try Lagavulin 16 as my first one and almost wrote Scotch off completely. After another year I was gifted a Glenfiddich 12 year and fell in love and haven't gone back to Bourbon since.

[@SudaXzzz]

This way more interesting with you and your wife together!!! Keep up the good work man! Also greetings from Sri Lanka. This type of culture is not at all there in my country. But I'm working myself towards this.

[@Victorrr84]

Laphroaig 10 year is still my all time favorite scotch. Ardeg 10 year is a very very close 2nd.

[@DennisJPolson]

Another fantastic video, Jeremy. BTW: Allison’s reactions are great! 👍

[@davidwood6351]

I asked my wife to get me a bottle of single malt while she was at the supermarket. She knows I like Glenfiddich or Glenlivet or my no.1 would be Talisker. She brought me Laphroaig. I've not drank Laphroaig for probably 25 years after overdosing . It brought back some memories I'd obviously chosen to forget. I totally sympathise with tyre 🔥 and mermaid bathwater. Its amazing how your taste changes over the years as I would have drank Laphroaig over coffee for breakfast when I was a youngster. I am Scottish and currently live in Scotland although will not waive anonymity if any Islay fans are reading this.....Go Islay.

[@crossfitloughborough4589]

You are correct, my Dads Scottish and its pronounce ( "I" La ) love show, my favorite whisky is Ardbeg 10yrs and Speyside is Tamnavulin double cask, both go great with a cigar or a pipe

Good stuff Jeremy. There's a reason why our wives are called our Better Halves. Can't remember the scotch I first tried but it was inexpensive. Beefeater maybe? I know I've just triggered the Scotch Snobs but whatever. The peat notes reminded me of a nice English pipe tobacco.

So there are a couple of Irish whiskies that you should try, if you haven't already; Teeling 25 or older and Middleton Very Rare 2017 or 2019. Of the Scotch whiskies my favorite is Octomore 10. It is funny when you mention the whiskey tribe guys. I have a buddy that was telling me about them, this was a while ago. He didn't realize, at first, that they there are here in Austin. They have a cool place just south of us. (Okay so Texas distances are a little skewed. It is more like a couple of hours.) Thanks Jeremy! 👍👍👍

Cheers!

[@michaelgonzalez347]

This was a great episode. I think the club clap is the new sign off. Great to see Scotch getting explored here. There shouldn't be any segregation in spirits. The more you can taste and explore the better you are. A monthly Scotch video with you guys would be great. I'm close to singing up with the club. Prices with shipping are a little up there but they are one of a kind bottles that you can't get anywhere else. The code will definitely help. Thanks and thanks for the great content as always.
