The thing with Scotch though is that these days the regions don't really matter as much as they used to. You can get unpeated sherried Islay scotch, and likewise find peated Highland or Speyside. I break scotch down more by flavor profiles and cask types.

[@TheWhiskeyDictionary]

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing

[@gfrank9772]

I disagree about the Norlan Glass. Is it pricey, yes but it works equivalent to a Glencairn. It’s more about personal preference and what kind of glassware looks more appealing. I think they look stunning and the ability to grip it like a tumbler is actually nice. My subjective take is the Glencairn looks pretentious in some circumstances and it doesn’t fit with my personal style. I do find it weird that you call it a gimmick because Bruichladdich endorsed the Norlan heavily when it was created. Overall though a good whiskey glass is the one you like to drink it from.

Excellent video for the down to earth, sensible advice. A question : do experts like you actually do a lot of sniffing of honey, vanilla, fruits collection( fruity), dark chocolate, leather, spices ( which ones?),smoke, oak wood etc etc so that you can build up a "smell library" to help you identify the flavour components in a whisky you're nosing ? How do you build up a taste library? Do you actually chew inedible stuff like oakwood, for example so that you can identify it in the tasting? Finally, am I the first one to ask such a silly question!?

[@TheWhiskeyDictionary]

Hey Karnal! First off, nope you're not the first one to ask that question and it's not silly. Honestly, it's exactly what i do. I buy different types of lemons, smell vanilla in different stages (bean, mexican vanilla extract, cheapo vanilla extract), smell all different kinds of fruits. It's hard to remember what everything smells like but most of it ties to memories and that's how i try to recall what I'm smelling.

Thanks for the video! I have a couple of questions about bourbon please. 1) What makes the flavor profile besides mash bill and the type of oak of the barrel? 2) Many talk about tasting fruits, caramel, brown sugar...etc. Do distillers actually add such flavors?

[@TheWhiskeyDictionary]

1. 99% of the flavor comes from the mashbill and the oak. There's a minute bit of mouthfeel imparted by the type of water that's used (hard water, soft water). But it's a combination of the distillate, where in the "cut" they take the evaporating alcohol, and the barrels. 2. Nope, in order to call something whiskey it needs to be 40% ABV (at least) and it can't have any additional additives. Some countries allow for artificial coloring which is used to keep the product looking the same across bottles. Great questions!
