I had a bottle of 8 year Elijah Craig that I bought after a recommendation. I liked it. However, I took a small flask of it Pheasant hunting a year ago. It was cold out and we had been finding nothing due to the wind conditions. When I finished hunting, I sipped a draw off of the flask. I don't know if it had something to do with the exertion or the temperature but all of the harshness that it usually there was gone. It literally tasted a bit like orange marmalade. I thought I was going nutty so I had a couple of friends who are also into whiskey give it a shot and they noticed the same flavor profile. Much smoother, much sweeter. I loved it. When I got home and was rested I took a drink of it and it was back to its old self again. Don't know what the science is behind that but I liked it.

I generally do not like pairing my whiskies and cigars. But when I do I have had a hard time finding the best combination.

It is also very smoky and again compliment a perfect pairing.

Your wife is a terrific sport!! I have never been able to go near the sugary cocktails. I love bitters and I adore Campari. Islay Scotch is fabulous and for a bourbon, I thoroughly enjoy Woodford Reserve. The Woodford Reserve stands up well to a large "good and clear" ice cube, and doesn't get too diluted. I want the flavours in a Boulevardier or Old Fashioned to stay strong. I love Michter's American Whiskey over ice to sip slowly and enjoy! Great value for the price. I spend about $75.00-80.00 per bottle at a minimum for decent bourbon but I do love an Elijah Craig as well! You are right on - terrific quality for the price. It's fabulous for an Old Fashioned. Woodford Reserve is my favourite - so delicious and smooth!! Oh, hey, I'm a Canadian!! I am in Vancouver. It's mild and warm here - well compared to other parts of Canada. So, we don't all love maple syrup!! Lol! Vancouver is pretty much like Seattle for climate. I know many Americans think we live in Igloos but it's not the case!! Gorgeous provinces - come and visit!! Vancouver has a very sophisticated whiskey spirit culture. Very laid back city! My husband and I have done the Woodford Reserve Distillery tour! It's exceptional!! Love your videos!!

If you want a budget Islay scotch just to see if you even like the heavy peat and saltyness that comes from the region try McClellands Islay, not as good as laphroaig or ardbeg but it gives you a $20 sample of what to expect and if you think you could handle it go for the more expensive one.

I must admit, scotch is a bit of a challenge for me since the flavors are so different from my usual bourbon. The scotch that I’ve tried simply taste bland. Maybe I just haven’t found the right one yet. I’ll be taking notes from your videos and thanks for making them.

@@macsaeki So far, I wasn't impressed. Prefer bourbon. I also got Big Peat - that is something! But, as mr. Siers notes, it's a matter of taste. I'd advise to first buy a glass at a bar and decide for yourself.

I never thought I’d see Ardbeg & Dalmore 12 in the same context. 🤔

Very different for sure. Love them both though 😉

I really thought I didn't like bourbon until a couple of years ago. Then I met my Mrs. She's from Frankfort KY. I've always had a large collection of Scotch and Irish. My favourite single malt is Laphroig Quarter Cask and Macallan 12y, and my all time favorite Middleton's Very Rare. Now my collection of bourbon is slowly growing, and I just got the Elijah Craig Small Batch (my Mrs brought Elijah Craig Small Batch and Jefferson's Very Small Batch when she came home to Norway two weeks ago). Haven't tried the Jefferson's yet, but Elijah Craig was a nice surprise. Absolutely going to stay in my bourbon collection! Finding good bourbon here in Norway is pretty hard, and that's probably why I thought I didn't like bourbon. Cause the ones I'd had here are the cheap stuff. Now I find that I reach for my bottle of Buffalo Trace more than any of my Scotch or Irish. Knob Creek Small Batch and Bulleit are some of my other favorites. So I've seen the light! From now on its bourbon for me! I can highly recommended the Buffalo Trace distillery tours as well. They have a lot of different tours, and I'm looking forward to going on their ghost tour one day. I don't know when, in these Corona times. But maybe already this summer, if we all fight this virus! Stay safe, stay home, and enjoy your bourbon!

Elijah Craig barrel proof is amazing. Try to find it.

Hey Jeremy! I’m in Canada and I’m a real Bourbon drinker and because of your recommendation I tried Woodford Reserve Double Oaked and it may not be my favourite but it’s definitely in my top 5 favourites! I will always have it at my home bar! Thanks man!!!

I just requested a video just like this a few days ago. Thank you Jeremy! Dalamore is fantastic. Drinking a glass now. May I suggest four roses single barrel and Jonnie walker black or green. Fantastic scotches as well. Although buffalo trace and eagle rare are my go to bourbons.

I think Green Label is very underrated...great scotch.
@johndavolta31245 жыл бұрын
Jonnie walker whiskies are blended junk, not worth the money. With what you pay for a green label you can get a Laphroig or Glenmorangie.

@@johndavolta3124 that's what is so wonderful about opinions! You've got yours and we've got ours. I personally think laphroig tastes like the smell of bandaids and can't stand it. Does it make your love of it wrong? No. Its what YOU like. To quote some well known whiskey reviewers, "the best whiskey is the whiskey you like to drink the way you like to drink it".

Love the Islays! Definitely with the Kentucky Fired and English Pipe tobaccos, a very gentle choice is Bunnahabhain 12. Been enjoying Speysides like Arberlour A'bunagh small batch. Love Elijah Craig small batch, but out here it is aver $80.
