He didn’t mention it but Brandy and cognac are made from grapes and are basically distilled wine.

[@annie0505ta]

Thanks I was about to ask lol. I thought brandy is a type of whiskey. Which brand of brandy that's commonly consumed?

[@manuelseverino9982]

cognac is a type of brandy,what makes cognac unique in the world of brandy? it's because of double distillation method,to be called cognac.

[@bds010]

suciani niarsih arta most famous would be Hennessy

[@CoffeinCowboy]

@@manuelseverino9982 I dont want to be petty but i think the more important criterea to call it cognac is, that the whole production needs to take place around the french town of Cognac, according to the french AOC.

[@billyandrew]

@@CoffeinCowboy Correct. Champagne is another example.

[@dncelle]

Gin is not made from Juniper Berries as mentioned in the video. It’s fermentable base is made from either grain, sugar beets, grapes, potatoes, sugar cane or plain sugar. After distillation it’s flavored with juniper berries and other botanical ingredients. Cheers!

Bourbon and Scotch are whisky too but made in certain areas (Bourbon in USA and Scotch in Scotland) and governed by the strict laws.

[@billyandrew]

We Scots call it whisky, because that's _exactly_ what it is! It got it's name from Gaelic... *Uisge,* meaning *water of life* Americans took it upon themselves to shorten _Scottish whisky_ to Scotch.

1:28 "Bourbon can be considered the premium version of Whiskey" -> What do you mean by that? What would be the non premium Version? Irish, Scotch or maybe Japanese?

[@themasterjoni7667]

Coffein .Cowboy it cannot :D The label „premium“ is usually used for spirits with a distinct and complex flavor profile. For Whisky this would be the case for single malt whiskys, most of which are from Scotland. Their complexity and uniqueness is also the reason, why they are not used in cocktails most of the time.

[@CoffeinCowboy]

@@themasterjoni7667 It's just a marketing label. Even Smirnoff calls itself premium vodka. Sure there are planty spirits were you can really consider them as high quality premium drink, but must of the time you will find this label on cheap crap.

[@themasterjoni7667]

@@CoffeinCowboy Sure, I shouldn't have used the Word "label". What I meant is that people who have much experience in the field of alcoholic beverages Like bartenders or someliers would associate Features like complexity with the Word premium

[@irishlegendnumber7]

Bourbon is not better or worse than other whiskey's, it just has to be made in America and some conditions have to be followed to call it a bourbon, the same way scotch is Scottish and Irish whiskey is made in Ireland. Which is considered best depends on each person's own preference? Whiskey is just the umberella term pretty much

[@chrisjaxon7052]

One could first argue there's only 4 -- Vodka, Tequila, Rum and Brandy. Whisky is barrel-aged vodka. Gin is juniper-distilled vodka. One could further argue there's only 1 -- Vodka. Vodka distilled from some source then aged, redistilled and flavored however.

[@clxwncrxwn]

I’m curious about absinthe. Do absinthe bars still exist?

[@mattbenz99]

Yes. Not all bars have it, but many of them do. Assuming you are at a real bar and not a college style get drunk as fast as possible bar, your bartender should be able to help you. It is normally served diluted in sugar water as Absinthe is usually 70-90% alcohol. Just be aware that it might be expensive as it is largely a specialty item due to the low demand.

[@CoffeinCowboy]

Hey is smirnoff vodka a good alcoholic drinks? Will u get drunk when u drink it?

@@valeriebella3741 It's my personal favourite, being smoother on the throat, whereas cheaper vodkas can taste harsh. Like any form of alcohol, vodka will get you drunk, if you consume enough. Trying any new brand of alcohol, be it spirits, beers or ciders, different from the one you usually drink, takes a period for the body to adjust.

[@billyandrew]

*Underground Boss* Whisky is called whisky in Scotland. Americans called it Scotch (short for Scottish whisky) to differentiate between whisky from Scotland and other countries, such as Ireland.

Beer is not a spirit or a liquor, It is a brew. Made by "brewing" water in a variety of adjuncts like wheat, corn, barley, and rice. at 9% alcohol by volume or less, it is not even in the same league as the big nine. However it is my beverage of choice.

[@iammonke9203]

Yeah ik, like im never gonna drink underage, but it fascinates me how many types there are!

[@billyandrew]

@@iammonke9203 Whisky, gin, rum, tequila, wine (brandy is basically a distilled wine), beer and cider. Liquors are flavoured spirits, thickened more often than not with sugar syrup. Some wines are fortified with spirits. Vermouth is unusual, being a wine that is usually fortified by a distilled wine...brandy. Red Vermouth is linked to Italy and white Vermouth to France. If you plan on taking to alcohol I 'd advise taking one drink to begin with. Give it some time and observe how it affects you, physically and mentally. Different drinks have different affects on different people. The more you consume of a particular drink the more extreme it's effects. Taste has a lot to do with enjoying a drink, too. Personally, I cannot stand gin. I hate the taste and smell. Flavours can disguise that, however, gin makes me introverted, so I can quickly tell if someone has give me gin as a test or by accident. Mixing drinks is not a great idea, unless you know what you're doing. Red and white wine can be problematic, if you switch from one to the other without experience of how it will affect you. Spirits and wines, spirits and beers, spirits and ciders, too. Beers and ciders (called snakebite) take their toll on most folk. Changing brand can also have an effect. Me, I've been drinking for four and a half decades. I occasionally go crazy (Lol) but mostly stick to beer and vodka or beer and dark rum. Cheers!

[@georgiohenderson5998]

I like sweet, but prefer whiskey over rum, bourbon being a second favorite. Rum is usually spiced i've noticed, and that ruins it for me, or am i just looking at the wrong rums?

[@nightlifebartenders]

Hey buddy, when you think of rum you should think of Bacardi. They're one of the most well-known rum distributors in the world. If you don't like spiced rum I would suggest Bacardi Superior White Rum. It goes well with cocktails like mojitos, and the ones i mentioned in the video (pina coladas and Daiquiris.

[@jacobpohlabel4156]

Luckily not all Rum is spiced. Though that seems to be the one most advertised in liquor stores, there is a high market for them. However, there are still many rums made without spice. I am not much of a liquor guy myself, however I have tried Plantation Barbados Rum, which is very good in my opinion. It is easily distinguishable by looking at how it's bottled. It usually comes wrapped in a "net" of hay like material, which really seems to accentuate the "Islander" vibe. It's mild, rather sweet, relatively smooth and also very inexpensive at around 25 dollars.

[@billyandrew]

Dark rum... *Captain Morgan's, Black Heart,* many brands... Don't try Bacardi's dark rum, though, unless you like a fishy taste and oily texture to your rum as they use old fish barrels to store it. I made that mistake and won't repeat it again. Lol.
