[@roccodimiccio5199]

Its absolutely crazy that I have been watching your videos for over a decade! I WISH YOU NOTHING BUT THE BEST RALFY...The world of whisky has changed so much over that time and you truly are an integral part of the discourse.

[@davidhoward7691]

I started my three infinity bottles (Single Malt Unpeated, Single Malt Peated, Bourbon) about four years ago. I enjoy it so much. I highly recommend whisky anoraks follow suit with their own. Thanks for the advice Ralfy. BTW: Reading "In Search for a Whisky Bothy" now and am enjoying it a great deal.

[@nickolaymiltenov]

Watching this video, I inadvertently recalled some sentences from Raymond Chandler that slightly paraphrased would sound like this: "The smell of whisky and moisture were so thick that one could build a garage on them. And upstairs it was so quiet that if you strain yourself you could hear the scream of an eagle." In our case - a rooster.

[@martywong822]

Beautiful content. I have built my non-peated infinity by pouring the last bit of each single malt I enjoy and think they will be complementary to each other. After 2 years, I tried it during Christmas and found it has the complexity that no other single malt has ever give me. Blending the standard stuff (non-aged to 12 years old) is really a great gain of experience. I think one of the idea of infinity bottle is not to plan it, and just see what is coming out naturally.

[@Juraj_H.]

I started my infinity bottle with bad whisky. As strange as it may sound, it actually created hype and motivation for me in the beginning, thanks to improvements that it made with every addition. Of course, ever since I'm adding only good ones, but the results are sometimes counterintuitive. But for first few months, it was only getting better and better.

[@bipinchandra2664]

Ralfy’s concept of infinity bottle a type of Solera will create infinite master blenders all over the world. Thanks to spirited Ralfy.

[@danielkeleher4666]

Been doing this a long time. Have about 10. Once you get your region/style/etc bottles going, it's fun to branch out into single distillery infinities. I have an Ardbeg, Bruichladdich, Buffalo Trace, etc. I never write down what I add, but my Springbank one is over a decade and a half old and has samples from over a hundred bottles, easy. And it's still a single malt! Thank you for the great content, Ralfy. You've taught me more about whisky than pretty much anyone else. Cheers!

[@chrisnil]

Use to do this years ago when nicking my fathers whiskey.

[@AndyCigars]

Thanos may have wielded the Infinity Gauntlet...but only Ralfy poses the Infinity Bottle.

[@greigmartin4339]

I have 3 on the go at the moment. 1. Campbeltown only single malts in an old Campbeltown Loch blend bottle. Starter malt is Springbank 12 cask strength. 2. One I call the McKraken. Peaty/coastal malts mainly from Islay with other stuff like Talisker, Oban and Pulteney in an old Kraken rum bottle. 3. Unpeated bourbon & Sherry matured highland/speysides with a backbone of Compass Box Spice Tree in an old Loch Fyne blend bottle from the Richard Joynson era. Hopefully I can keep them evolving for the rest of my days. Thanks Ralfy for the inspiration some time ago.

[@RollerSpeargun]

[@weichen7261]

Thanks so much Ralfy. I have been planning to do this since a few months back. Here are the lineups: Springbank 15yo, Glanallachie 10yo cask strength, Arran sherry cask, Ardberg 5 yo wee beastie (don’t add much I know Ralfy), Kilkerran 12 yo, Bladnoch 10yo, Glendronach 10yo cask strength). I am taking your advice and won’t put any Irish malts, bourbons, Armagnac at this stage.

[@oscars4107]

Started the new year off with starting my infinity bottle off with some favorite malts, ones that I really like & the early signs are extremely promising. Back in the cupboard for now but look forward to tasting and adding to it in the future. Thanks Ralphy 😊

[@jeffmill999]

Nice when Ralfy joins the conversation and actually shows the process.. Cheers to the Master blender...

[@hendrikjanriesebos1293]

Years ago, I lost the tail end of a fine single malt to oxidisation. After that sad experience, I started my infinity bottle. Named it after the distillery model I built as a railway modeller. My Glen Moddle ("the Spirit of Imagination") has been a proud member of my collection eversince.

[@ralfydotcom]

. . . we never stop learning.

[@mtl5131]

Last night I noticed I have quite a few bottles that are getting low and the thought crossed my mind about starting an infinity bottle. Perfect timing this 👍🏻

[@thomashood3748]

Brilliant! And fun! Im doing it when i find the right empty bottle.

[@marktser0jedi]

I just found your channel a week ago, I love it! Tomorrow I'll head out to my garage with some storm lanterns hoping to find my own hidden cask or at least a proper bottle to start my own Infinity bottle. Thanks for the infotainment.

[@lordprefab5534]

When you mentioned the infinity bottle last week I started one in a long branch bourbon bottle with a half out of ten open bottles, including Rosebank, Arran, Deanston. Tasted it at the weekend, and it was great. Only decanter I've got is a full 2007 100 million litres one.

[@erickstiner1668]

Fascinating. Can’t wait to start my infinity adventure.

[@robfut9954]

I have one that’s five years old which I made a while after Ralfy’s first mention of infinity bottles. Very happy with the results and although I haven’t added to it over the last year (as I haven’t come across any worthy malts) it remains the best whisky in my collection.

[@BirdArvid]

Luv you, Ralfy! No, not like that; you just educate and entertain in you charmingly inimitable way and at least for me, you enthuse; bring me back again, after a couple of months of forgetting about Single Malt and your excellent channel. And for that I thank you. SOLD! I'm definitely starting an Infinity Bottle.

[@mic982]

So far, in my own (1st) Infinity bottle: 2" Aberlour 12 year Double Cask, 1" Johnnie Walker Black, 1" Paddy's Irish Whisky, 1/2" Monkey Shoulder and 1/2" Lismore Single Malt. Next, Highland Park 12 year. This is gonna be a pretty eclectic blend, all right. 3 Scotch single malts, 2 Scotch blends and an Irish whisky thrown in as a wild card. Room for about 2-3 more depending on how well I like them - or not.

[@hermanholmberg]

Started my first infinity bottle five mins ago. GS Seasonal release 2021, GS Double Cask, GS 16 YO. Thanks for the inspiration and information.

[@waynedawson4948]

Wow, can’t wait to get started!!! Thanks! Great idea!!!

[@fastpoose]

Great stuff, been holding off on any stronger peat malts to my 8 yr old infinity, that superb sweet Ledaig smoke by the teaspoon will do the trick, once again, you're a legend Ralfy, 'the idea's man'.

[@MrLantic]

still watching!! and Just started my bottle. thx so much

[@jaredpruett2056]

I love my peated bottle which I just made over the last few months. It’s very young but all integrity and very balanced. Laphroaig Cairdas cask strength, Kilkerran Heavily peated, Glenglassaugh Torfa, and Kilchoman Machir Bay. The base is Machir bay, the sherry from the cairdas comes through amazingly.

[@gman5986]

Thank you Ralfy for your insight to infinity bottles!.Slainte!

[@henriqueperdoncini]

Thank you very much Ralfy

[@davidb2701]

I started my infinity bottle a month ago and it is great fun. It’s a peated blend of malt and a little amount of grain. I am using only whisky with an age statement. Great review Ralfy, thanks!

I do enjoy my Infinity Blended Malt whisky bottle. Brilliant whisky.

[@michiduro4870]

Enjoyed this alot, I have tried to make an infinity bottle years ago and ruined it by adding to much of bunnahabin moine in a non peated bottle haha. after that i decided to save it, but no.... Now after 4 years thanks to you i will take this task and make an great infinity mstrblender bottle!! Cheers Ralfy!

[@woodandbone9175]

The things I have learned watching your channel are so appreciated and being practiced here in Gatorjak’s Man Cave! I have just started 2 infinity bottles! One for my Single Malt Whisky and one for my Irish Whiskies. I am using an app to track what’s in the bottles.

[@jasonolyver6430]

Great video as always, very insightful and full of knowledge. Ralfy, you have to tell me where the wide bottle is from, I've been looking for one looking just like that for quite some time now. Thank you as always, and it's a pleasure to go through your older video slowly embarking on my own journey.

[@nachoangeloni6062]

Hi there - Sharing my experience, I have 2 Infinity bottles. One, I started three years ago and it is a Frankenstein, it has from Single Malts to Honey Bourbouns ... the other one is a more serious one, first half filled with light single malts (Singleton, Glenfiddich) and the other half, with my favourite ones (unpeated). Unbelievably, even the crappy one offers a wonderful drinking experience. When friends come to my home, for those that are really keen on scotch I typically gave them a bottle tour ... finishing with my infinity bottle. Greetings from Argentina! Regards, Nacho.

[@antistalinist4552]

I like the idea. Thanks Ralfy. Cheers malt mateys!

[@scottyblog]

Infinite Barrel Project by Barrell Craft Spirits in the States does this with frequent releases. The same blenders that bring you Barrell Bourbon and Rye. Some pretty hit or miss stuff. Scotch, rye, bourbon and other stuff blended together can get a bit muddy.

[@bmacjunior]

A great idea. A new project to look forward too>>>

[@davidm_shaw]

Started my infinity bottle tonight. Gave it a Campbeltown base with Glen Scotia 15 and a dash of both Kilkerran 12 and Springbank 10. Topped it up further with Signatory Linkwood 10, a trickle of Bladnoch 10, and a teaspoon of Ledaig 10. Some Deanston 12 and Arran 10 will soon be added. Thanks for the guidance.

[@sideburnz77]

This is great thank you going to start my infinity bottle!!

[@jordanbayly460]

I started my Infinity bottle 18 months ago when I began my whisky journey. +15 ml of every new bottle I experience in order to track my progression. 18 deposits so far, but I don’t plan to take any withdrawals until the bottle is full. Thanks for sharing Ralfy!

[@jfgenie]

Funny thing is, when you were talking about the graduated cylinder at the beginning, in my mind I was like "screw that, I'm just going to wing it and go with my instinct!", and then just a few minutes after, that's exactly what you said! LOL ;)

[@PaskaVelho]

I did a small infinity bottle with precise measurements. Just smoky ones. 5% of Caol Ila, 5% of Ardbeg 10% of Loch Gorm ect... and it turned out amazing. A really peaty and nice blend. My main non smokey infinity bottle is the tails of my non smokey scotchs. Just 4-10cl of all the last drops of my bottles. (but never the best bottles i had. just the mediocre ones) Going on 5 years and haven't written down what I added. Maybe 40-50 different ones. It turned out pretty bland. Like a cheap low AVB blend. Maybe I can save it by adding higher AVB stuff in it... or maybe I'll just start a new one.

[@aitoriri1]

Thanks for the vídeo Ralfy. Just started mine with some bottles I got at home, really excited to try it next month. -Glenfidich 15 -Glenlivet 12 -Aberlour A'bunadh (batch 65) -Bunnahsabhain 12 -Ardbeg Uigeadail (just a teaspoon) Gonna stick with scotch single malts for now, wish me luck guys

Another priceless inspiration and advice on a wonderfull thing I never thought about. Now I finally know what to do with my very first (empty) single malt bottle (over 30years old!) and the empty Armagnac-Bottle from which I had my first "spirit moments" with my grandfather...

Interesting video. Was thinking about that for a while; guess I’ll start once I have an empty bottle… my syndicate 58/6 is the closest to being empty, so I guess that’s the one I will pick. „Opening Malt“ Glenlivet 12 (first fill) and then top it up… Glenfarclas 15, Macallan 12, and Tomatin Marsala wine casks (might be German exclusive) are the unpeated additions to it… for now

I have some friends who watch the American Superbowl (I live in Australia). I supply the food and they bring a bottle of bourbon to drink. I tax them a couple of nips to put in my infinity bottle and they take home a flask with double what they put in to take home. I put a couple of nips of every bottle I have opened through the year. I also add a substantial amount of a cask strength bourbon to give it a bit of kick.

[@colby6131]

Looking good Ralfy!

[@albertosalinas5237]

Hey Ralphy! I just started my first infinite bottle. I got a fancy decanter from my brother so I decided to do a Springbank infinite bottle. I started it off with half a bottle of Kilkerran 12 (I know, It's more of a J&A infinite bottle) and I've since added a pour of Hazelburn 14 Oloroso and Springbank 15. I wanted to play it safe for my first time, so I went with malts I knew were compatible, but this video has made me want to be more bold! I feel like Edradour and Springbank could play together in very interesting ways, both being real dirty malt bombs. Thanks for the tips, and all the extras, and all the content, me and all the other malt mates in San Antonio, Texas appreciate it!

Trying this !

[@easer777]

I had an about 35 cl vodkabottle that I cleaned out, and poured Chivas 12 in, to bring on fishing trips, however while the Chivas is good, it is not exellent, so I have added some Ledaig 10 and some 54% cask strength sherried whisky to it, but I actually didn't feel that I had an really good mix, until I added some Laphroaig 10 cask strength and Laphroaig PX cask, it was not until then that it all went perfect.... -Just to say that Laphroaig shoulden't not be considered, particularly the PX cask one gave it a very delightful full-bodied layer of sherry, which the first mentioned Cask Strength sherry-whisky didn't....

[@Tantrum777]

I have a Islay and Rye infinity bottle, it is fantastic.

[@boyse69]

It's a great plan !

[@jackofmanytrades4396]

I have taken the infinity bottle concept and applied it to...wait for it....honey! I'm a sucker for local honey, and I buy it wherever I go, wherever 'local' happens to be. As such, I have laying around my pantry partial jars of all different varieties of honey from Arizona, Montana, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, central Oregon, and SW Washington state. When they are down to about the last 1/4 or less of the jar, they crystalize. So I gathered them all up, put the jars in hot water until they were liquid again, and poured them all into one jar. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow morning's cup of tea and English muffin. :-)

[@Olorinii]

5:55 Funny you should mention it but I like to add a few drops of Laphroaig to a glass of Glenmorangie 10. Adds just a bit of peat. Try it sometime.

[@jelliamesott1]

Great video/breakdown Ralfy. Is Laphroaig really that distinct? I feel like Ardbeg is even moreso if we're just taking about the 10 in either.

[@whompbiscuits8930]

Ralfy's right, be incredibly careful adding peated or otherwise smoky whiskies. I did that (Ardbeg 10, and later Teacher's Highland Cream), didn't measure, put about an ounce or so in apiece. Completely overwhelmed it. Not that it was outright bad, but it will change it. Rye can change it also, depending on the brand, but it's not the level of what peat smoke can do. I also recommend to treat it like other whiskies; keep it completely out of sunlight. When I began mine a year or so ago, I didn't know at the time to keep it in the dark. While it was never in direct sunlight, it was in a corner that, at best, wasn't exactly dark. For about a year. So I'm not sure if the peat smoke made it taste the way it does or if it was the very indirect sunlight. BTW I don't measure. I don't want to get too anal about it. An ounce or two is what I add at a time. I definitely don't pour the amount Ralfy did with the Glen Scotia. I also add the first ounce or two of a new bottle upon opening, not the last ounce or two. I look at it as sacrificing a virgin or whatever.

[@teunvanderlinden1740]

Very inspiriring video! Maybe I give it a try. Until now I am only experimenting with tiny amounts. A great combination is 30 ml glenmorangie 10 (which I do not like very much) with one drop of laphroaig 10: excellent, the taste reminds me of Highland Park 12. An awfull combination, however, is 30 ml Dalmore 12 (which I like) + one drop of laphroaig 10. Too sharp, somehowe. I threw it away... like Richard Patterson to clean the glass... (I usually don't throw whisky away btw) Grtz from Holland, Teun

[@LeeFinneyZ9]

Dearest Ralfy, I love your reviews & have indeed purchased certain bottles after seeing them earn a decent "integrity malt mark" One bottle i would urge you to try & possibly review ? Is the Glen Moray 1998 Barolo finish (Warehouse 1 series). It retails at around £135 & is simply stunning, but has a run of only 853 bottles. You're welcome & i look forward to your next review :)

Hi Ralfy, are you able to get a Scarabus (10 or cask strength) over there? It's from a non-disclosed islay distillery... Quite sure it's Caol Ila but it'd be lovely to hear your very much informed opinion!

[@andrewj8920]

I'd recommend using an app to track additions and subtractions. It's useful for both tracking abv and to know the proportion that each malt you add currently makes up of your blend. iOS users are better served but there's at least one useful app for Android too.

[@whamsdram]

Started mine in 2014 and simply added the last drops of every bottle i drank this far. Every leftover that wasn't enough for a regular dram. It's great. And an experience every enthusiast should have. Added 2 Laphroaig, tho. But they didn't overwhelm the whole blend. Probably because of the small amount.
