Tasting Whisky Episode 1

[@_ArsNova]

Just want to say I love you guys' talks and reviews, and especially the genuine, unpretentious way Horst always speaks! I must hear his German someday haha

[@GuitarBassCigar]

And the long path of yet another addiction begins for me. I spent 14 years learning about cigars so this will go well together. Great video.

[@kevinwillson341]

Thank you so incredibly much for your videos. I could watch you guys talk about whiskey all day. I've learned a lot and I appreciate you!

I have a Glenmorangie. Tasting glass Horst, which has a little glass lid to it. It’s a good sized tulip glass, and is perfect for tasting. My wife and I use them when tasting a new whisky.

Watched this old video and it was interesting.back in 2014 i didnt watch this; so for me its like a trip back in time.wow!

[@AnarchoHumanist]

Thanks for the great info! I had no idea about the rinse aid, though I generally wash by hand anyway.

[@Whiskycom]

Good choice

[@brandonbandstra226]

Wonderfully articulate review. Thank you good man. Cheers!

[@tjharlow]

looking forward to the rest of the videos in this series.

[@carloslozada470]

This is great thank you

Would a somewhat big shot glass with a bit of a lip be ok? From what I currently have it's what most resembles the overall shape and size you described as ideal.

[@jadyphan5892]

I wish there's a whisky called Luening.

[@martinreid1740]

Being a Scotsman I don't disagree with your tasting methods but I prefer to drink my whisky from an antique silver quaich or my silver small thistle cup.

[@manuelbanda7492]

Helo Horst, is the tulip shaped glass the Riedel Hennessy glass? It's very similar. I usually taste whisky with it, am I missing a better tasting glass?

[@kylesigo7993]

Hello Horst - It looks like your preferred tasting glass has markings on it for measuring 1 - 4 oz. Where did you find this glass? I haven't had much luck finding a good tasting glass with the measurements marked on it. Thanks!

If you have a friend in Germany, you could by it at our place. If you don't www.barmans.co.uk/products/product.asp?ID=5477 I will someday make a video similar to this one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXK0mZmHmd54nZo

[@themod7181]

What about the glencern glass. Maybe spelt it wrong I got this glass from penderyn whisky they say it’s a noseing/tasting glass

[@michaelkavanagh5947]

Ice and mixers (even water) no way. In Scotland, if tasting (not drinking for fun, that is different), you do this, people will laugh at you. He's 100% right. Here we have glasses with tops to build the aroma before tasting. I'd advise one if you are opening a new bottle. Just to get that aroma. Builds the tasting.

Good tips,

[@Whiskycom]

Thanks

[@paolocayanan3853]

Richard peterson said never to warm your whisky with your hand then horst leuning said warm it with your hands. I am confused

[@vegardk5045]

Paolo Cayanan do whatever works the best for you, there are no hard answers in whisky appreciation

[@jonathanmontielnunez3346]

WHAT ABOUT TO TASTE IN A SNIFTER ??

[@conradcoolerfiend]

yeah a snifter is a pretty good glass for whisky.
