Port Finish TRIPLE COMPARISON! (Blended Scotch vs. Single Malt vs. Bourbon) Whiskey Review

Happy Birthday Michael, CHEERS to you with a little Angels Envy!

Happy Birthday Michael Van Horenbeeck!

[@michaelvanhorenbeeck5802]

Thank you ow great titan of whisky.

[@Wilvekio69]

@@michaelvanhorenbeeck5802 You are most welcome! Hopefully we will see more from you in the future :)

[@billyboy9810]

The Tomatin 14 port wood finish is a good one if Scotch is your go to. It costs £50-55 here in the UK and is easy to get hold of. The Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban is good but very sweet for my palate, great show guys.

Happy Birthday Michael!

Regarding the Glendronach Port Wood (which I sent in, and thanks for the call out again guys!), I've only ever been able to find it at Total Wine. It averages $85 to $95 a bottle locally, which for the taste is worth it to me. It can be hard to find in some markets unfortunately. That said, if you can find it, snag it. It won't steer you wrong, and I still maintain to this day that it could fill the missing void in their old formula for a poor man's Macallan M.

[@eafarrar]

Woodinville Whiskey's port-finished bourbon is fantastic too.

[@BmoreHildy]

I was going to comment this as well! Woodinville port finished is delicious and wont break the bank.

[@nickh402]

Happy birthday, MVH!

[@dryii]

Headed out after watching this to buy myself a Glendronach Port Wood. I was not disappointing. Thanks guys.

[@JarekZoglowek]

Try Talisker Port Ruighe, Arran Port Cask Finish, Glenallachie 12yo Ruby Port and Glenmorangie 14yo Quinta ruban...all are great whiskies. Happy birthday Michael !!

Rex, I heard bitter taint too!

[@SimonOTahop]

Should have suggested the Woodinville Straight Bourbon Port Cask Finish. Bought it based on the review you did, I was never a fan of Bourbon. But Man this one is special ! And Happy Birthday Mate. Cheers.

[@paladonis]

Happy Birthday Michael Van Horenbeeck! Welcome to the 40's club! Enjoying a little Old Forester 100. The Glenmorangie 14 Port is REALLY decent as well, with almost a chocolate mouth feel to it. But the price sorta bumped up over the last few years to about $15 in my area. Slainte Mhath to you and all the Bastards!

[@Wilvekio69]

Happy Monday MB's :)

[@tommccafferty5591]

Balcones Hechiceros is one of my favorite port finished whisky.

[@shellstaff5220]

Belated Happy birthday Michael,! Baysel haden dark rye has a port wine mixed in. The port seems to take over. But some rye gets hrough.

[@awssaad2]

Happy Birthday to us Michael, you and me born in the same day I mean the same same day, for my 40th birthday I opened Dalmore 12, Longmorn 16 and Glenlivet 21. It's was one of the best birthdays I got. Cheers

[@adwhite804]

Happy birthday Michael.. Personally, I also like the port cask whiskey from VA Distillery... Yeah, probably not super readily available. But, it's a pretty good one... Then again...I'm no expert ,barely a novice. I just like whiskeys, bourbons and such

[@MakingandBreaking]

I know they have it somewhere in the vault

[@adwhite804]

@@MakingandBreaking pretty sure they did a review...but it might have been one of the others they have as well.. Courage and conviction or something..cider cask...and a few others..they also have a "scotch-y" like whiskey.. Pretty sure these guys have covered a few

[@BobPapadopoulos]

It's the port finished I can't stop buying.

[@robviousobviously5757]

GOOD MORNING YOU MB'S.... 🥃

[@astarterandachaser433]

Agree on Angel's Envy. Never felt the whiskey was worth the cost. On all levels.

[@Ediranii]

I was wondering throughout the video: What about Angel's Envy? It's the most obvious choice for American whiskey.

[@Runge_was_here]

I get Angel's Envy for $40. Feel like at that price point it's an awesome option.

[@astarterandachaser433]

@@Runge_was_here I feel it's really thin and lacking. But we all have different palates and such. Other things we like, you may absolutely hate 😆

St Augustine distillery has an excellent port finished bourbon. Finished in barrels from San Sebastián winery, which is also in St Augustine.

Woodinville port finished bourbon is great, it's just behind Daniel on the shelf.

I was about to say the same

[@Daniel-zq3wq]

@@justinseymour7881 I just made a comment about that, but yeah Rex almost directly pointed to it too lol, just as he was talking about not being able to find a bottle that was right at eye level

[@the_whiskeyshaman]

That glendronach port wood is so good.

[@TheRealMcCoy85]

Idk if this has ever been brought up but I thought to try using Distilled Water in Whiskey to reduce the (ever so slight) taste impact of minerals in water... And I noticed a difference immediately! Give it a try!

[@koendenhaan8571]

How do the glenmorangie quanta ruban and the dalmore portwood compare to the glendronach in your opinions?

[@radosawmokrzycki9930]

all the best!!! from Poland, also for the authors✌

[@mathewkeipert6021]

Hello gentlemen from Adelaide, South Australia. I can get hold of the Dewar's and Glendronach but no chance of the Thomas S Moore's...Hard to do in Oz let alone Adelaide. Question.... Is there a Mooch guide handbook to purchase? Love you both and wish you good health. Mat.

[@evanlitchfield4621]

Before clicking I was so excited because I thought we were finally going to get a review of The Balvenie Port wood 21yr. Still a great video though thanks guys

[@michaelvanhorenbeeck5802]

Getting close to my birthday again 😊

[@michaelvanhorenbeeck5802]

I may not have said it enough "i love you guys". The main reason i asked for port finished whisky is because i do not have any yet in my collection which i like to keep expanding.

[@Tarnen]

I love seeing some Woodinville whiskey up on the shelf, was wondering if y'all were ever going to try it!

[@eafarrar]

A plea to whomever is posting the videos: Can you put the brand and name of the whiskey in AT LEAST the description?? It's impossible to find these things via searching otherwise.

[@Wilvekio69]

I gave the Thomas Moore line-up.... how can you forget me :(

[@robviousobviously5757]

never forget The Full Schappert

[@wasabista1613]

Success has gone to their heads. Oh, sure, it's all smiles on the way up, but now they've hit the big time they forget the ones who put them there😉😉 🥃🥃🥃

[@dzaharsher6078]

Glendronach port wood is relatively affordable. When they said nose bleed expensive i was imagining 200+. 100 is not bad. You can even buy it for 65 some places.

[@timshulepov]

4:26 -- I heard the same exact thing!

[@straubroli]

Has anyone tried Arran Port cask? I highly recommend it!

[@michaelcarter577]

I can get the Port Wood Glendronich here in Iowa for about $100. I prefer the 12, though. I generally prefer other wine finishes than port.

[@Daniel-zq3wq]

9:17 Rex almost directly pointed at the Woodinville Port Finish (I think) on the shelf when he was talking about looking for a bottle and they bring out Angel's instead 😭

[@removelimitbreak7524]

Please do this again. But with Mizunara finished spirits

[@tommyp2561]

Rex, what is that shirt? It’s so rad!

[@AlucardXIX]

Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban is my pick for the best affordable port finish! 50 bucks, I don't know if there's a better value for a single malt, 14 year aged, port finish on the market. If anyone knows one, I want to try it.

[@Joser167]

Single malt and Blended scotch lends itself perfectly to port. Bourbon however, is too sweet and the port will overpower a basic flavor profile.

[@MakingandBreaking]

What, no Virginia Distillery mention?

[@erikevenson4303]

could have tossed the Glenn Scotia peated port 2020 festival release i sent into this comparison, would have been interesting to see how it stands up to the dronach

[@Username18981]

I find angels envy a bit overrated in the field of Port finished that is available now. Even issac bowman over angels

[@BobPapadopoulos]

Virginia whiskey in general is severely underrated.

[@brianforbes4417]

Glencadam do a 17 year old port cask and nummy num. Over £110 though but worth it.

To be fair, bitter taint is a common complication of contact with too much port wood.
