Actually the ice cream companies know the flavour is lessened when frozen so they make it super sweet. Eating Luke warm ice cream is like just cream with a load of sugar

[@lostthoughts73]

Actually, it depends on the company and the flavour. I used to melt my ice cream a little a lot to enhance the overall taste but eat it before it melted completely. That makes it feel like an ice cream with a extra flavor coating. But, as I said, this doesn't work with all flavours. For example, strawberry tastes so sweet that I just puke it out, but mangos get a nice sultry texture this way. Also, you can use the melted ice cream to work with the toppings. Try adding some chocolate syrup to a vanilla ice cream but instead of eating it instantly, swirl it around in the bowl letting it melt a little so that it now feels like a chocolate doughnut hole but tastes like ice cream

[@trogdorburninator1229]

But what he said is true. Vodka is deliberately made to be tasteless. The better the vodka, the less it tastes. Whisky has a variety of tastes. Its very different and when he says vodka exists to make other things alcoholic he is speaking the truth. Its a great mixer because its tasteless but pointing that out and noting the differences between the two spirits isn't a "slam."

[@drudle]

Didn't slam vodka or vodka drinkers. He was just like "glitter is there to make other things sparkly" which is true.

[@Wintermute909]

[@user-nj1zu2nf1x]

Everything about vodkas history was meant to be tasteless. It's not an insult, it's just a fact.

[@nekekaminger]

Also on a side note: If you are specifically looking for whiskies with a high oil content, you don't have to rely on your or other people's experience. Instead specifically look for non-chill filtered whiskies, which the Bruichladdich happens to be and the rye they try afterwards most probably isn't. Chill filtration is a process that is specifically designed to remove oily components from whisky, because they can make it cloudy at low temperatures.

[@educateyourself3872]

I was wondering about how to know. Thank you.

[@SuperNigel61]

Jason's impression of Brian drinking whiskey was HILARIOUS!!!! Well done!

[@TheYarrrr]

This guy knows a ton about scotch but I have one complaint. He hays this is a very smokey scotch, goes on to describe the whole peat smoke procedure etc.... All good, except that particular scotch "Bruichladdich - The Classic Laddie" is an unpeated scotch. Says it right on the bottle. I have one in my liquor cabinet right now. It's delicious, and has a strong Islay flavor, but no peat.

[@Unearthing]

I thought the same thing immediately. But, smoke doesn't come exclusively from peat fires, though. The barley (and any other grain wanted) can be dried by smoke from e.g. birch wood, too. The Laddie is certainly unpeated, but it has some very subtle smoke nevertheless. My favourite example for non-peated but still smoky flavour is Talisker 10.

[@IIIRobIII]

you guys will find a hair in every soup

[@Unearthing]

Nah, there isn't anything bad about this video at all, it's great content and very enjoyable listening to. Like TheYarrrr mentioned, it's still kinda funny how he knows almost everything down to the tiniest detail but still takes The Laddie as a representation of Islay's smoky whisky profiles. Certainly, The Laddie is a little aggressive (comes with 50% ABV) when undiluted, but it certainly isn't agressively smoky. Anyone more familiar with Islay whiskies will easily second that. Maybe he thought of Bruichladdich's Octomore Series which undeniably is aggressively smoky.

[@jcarkesteijn]

Just what I thought. Let's just say he was talking about Islay whisky's in general, in that case it would make sense. (I'm a Lagavulin-drinker myself, but I really like the Octomore-series for special occasions - it's too pricey for me to drink every time.) I like the tip to add a few drops of water, it really does change the taste. Just subscribed to the channel :)

Word from a chemist, technically the addition of water doesn’t cause a chemical reaction; it’s a physical process called “partioning”.

In Scotland, people sometimes have water rather than ice. The difference is simply that the ice gradually melts as you drink it, so it has a varying amount of water (depending on how fast you drink) whereas a dash of water stays constant throughout the whole drink. And of course if you prefer it chilled or room temp. Water/ice drastically changes the taste of whikey (generally brings out sweeter flavours) so I always like to try a new one with and without ice and then decide.

[@meschadarc141]

I once froze a bottle of gin for my martinis. Freezing improves vodka in that it gains a very oily mouth feel, and I figured since gin IS a vodka, why not? I found out why not. A great martini requires some water dilution, which doesn't happen when the booze has been chilled below zero. You get a fiery, oily martini that tastes like crap. Similarly, with room temperature gin that is shaken, not stirred, you get a watered down, chilled drink where you barely taste the gin. Stirred, the fire of the gin is extinguished, the flavors all come through, and it is properly chilled for enjoyment.

Hydrophobic interactions and electronegativity govern all casual and proper chemistry it seems 😂

[@MrKeneal0330]

Went and bought a bottle of Bruichladdich after watching this video. Excellent scotch and amazing how a few drops of water set it off.

[@TheStrangerous]

Delicious!

[@bluetartanmonkey]

Just found this channel and these boys are brilliant! BUT, I can't get over that I'm watching Ragnar Lothbrok educating the masses on whiskey and I'm mind-trippin'... I'm Scottish, in the US since I was a wee lad, try to make it home every year or two, love the approach these this channel has as they are super educational and don't fault anyone for their personal preferences - Slainte mhath!

[@TheCrimsonIdol987]

The only good whiskey is the whiskey that's in my glass right now. Still my favorite spirit.

[@fatesrequiem]

I’m so glad they pointed out that Bushmills triple distilled can’t stand up to ice. Jameson can, but with Bushmills you need at LEAST a 10year for it to last in ice...and t that point just drink it neat.

[@Agrothewarhorse]

Good starter scotch, Dalwhinnie 15...like drinking silk its so smooth and mellow. Light and honey like in color, sweet aromas of vanilla, caramel and a hint of dried fruit...like a nice honeyed trail mix lol

[@bbb462cid]

The 'Gentle Spirit' and one of my favorites for a summer's evening after the majority of guests have gone and it's just three or four close friends.

[@repp181]

yeah that one's a very smooth scotch, I would add Glenrothes Bourbon Cask as well! very easy and smooth.

[@trentonberry105]

Glenlivet Founder's Reserve

[@blacksnow150]

i would add Oban 14 yr old single malt ,, another that falls into the sipping whiskey category ,, as opposed to things like grants and grouse which are more like gulping whiskey ( so you can't taste them ) and are drunk more for effect than taste :)

Probably the most informative video on whisk(e)y that I've watched. And I've watched 300+. Thank you gentlemen. I'm eternally grateful.

[@daveparadice]

Good stuff but just wanted to note that Glenfiddich is most definitely not a smoky Scotch.

[@c45acper41]

Of course. It's a Speyside. You want smoky get an Islay.

[@tozmom615]

Agreed. Have never tasted smokiness in a glenfiddich. It’s distilled a few miles away from me and their tour guide always points out they don’t peatify it.

[@maltphilistine923]

That was the first thing that came to mind for me too. The "Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie" is also not a particularly smokey whiskey.

[@thetrissynashville]

It is compared to a bourbon and an Irish 😂

[@questionyourself718]

you are right glennfiddich is one of the most beginner friendly scotch in my experience. he should have given them an ardbeg or a talisker if they wanted a smokey whiskey :D

[@Bodeification]

Can you guys talk about rum next?

I think we definitely need to!

just a quick comment, on the Ranger Creek 36, the 36 comes from Texas Independence in 1836.

[@TheStrangerous]

Ah! Interesting. Thank you!

[@LexNoxus]

Jason nailed that impersonation 😂😂😂

[@richardpowell4281]

I always love the little references to all my favorite movies. You guys are so awesome.

[@micahphilson]

That's not really a chemical reaction, it's more a physical one, but it involves chemistry much more than anyone but a chem major or chemist would know.

[@colinderue8095]

I live in upstate NY, and we have a distillery here called Iron Smoke Distillery that makes a smoked Bourbon if you'd ever like to try it.

[@thomasesr]

I love scotch. Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Here it goes down, down into my belly...

[@thomasesr]

It's a formidable scent... It stings the nostrils. In a good way.

[@thomasesr]

It's quite pungent.

[@TheStrangerous]

I couldn't help myself.

[@thomasesr]

That movie is the equivalent of the modern rogue, but set in the 70`s. Those Gentlemen, and their suits...

[@thomasesr]

The next episode could be about buying suits and all the different variables, and start by jumping in the air in joy. Hahaha

[@moose43h]

YOU ARE TEARING ME APART LISA!

[@BillieJolene1]

I'm so addicted to watching this. You should really give this guy a show on food network!!! He's EPIC!! I have a question. Jack Daniels. It's "mashed sour"......…...WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? I think it means it tastes awful because it does. And now I'm thinking that since my only experience with whisk(e)y was a sip of JD that I might be missing out on something way better.

[@myusernameissoobnoxiouslyl9407]

In Scotland we never drink our whisky with ice, usually because it masks much of the flavour, and that the weather’s constantly cold lol

[@thecapone45]

Man I’m glad they say the best whiskey is the one you like and the way you like it. I see that posh, snobby stuff almost everywhere. I see it with cigars, coffee, steak, and liquor. Just do what you like. Some people don’t understand that.

[@ModernRogue]

You're gonna love their stuff over at the Whiskey Tribe. More of the same sentiment: kzbin.info

[@paddyk6902]

I agree, however there is nothing wrong with educating people and introduce them to new things or ways to enjoy them. We often don’t realize we may do something better if we expand our knowledge and be open to new things.

[@jannekrusing]

That Bruichladdich is unpeated. No smokeiness in it. A Lagavulin, Caol Ila or an Ardbeg would be a much better representation of an Islay whisky. Or maybe Laphroaig, if you dare. THAT'S peat!

[@zeinno]

I love Laphroaig, but it doesn't seem to like me. Also, BAD THINGS happen when I drink a lot of it. Possibly says more about me... :D

[@doomkeeper67]

exactly what i said

[@jarredbarber]

I love how he's describing how smokey it is as they zoom in on the giant "UNPEATED" lettering on the bottle.

[@HNM69]

That guy just disqualified himself

[@EnterJustice]

Confirmed. Source: I was on Islay a month ago. Also, I've camped across the street from the Lagavulin distillery for a night.
