We both have ECBP on our list! I didn't put an Irish Whiskey on my list as I need to explore the category more, but I am planning a trip to Ireland. Your Tomatin PX fits into my #1 which is to try a Scotch IN SCOTLAND. Although I mentioned the Dark Cove CR specifically, it was just the Committee Release as a category that I had on my list. I think it is great that you are also suggesting alternatives "If you cant find THIS.... buy THAT" as well.

Scott - As someone who loves and prefers dark, deep fruit profiles in his scotch whisky can you suggest an entry level peat to start getting into it? Something that perhaps has a lower PPM and/or a wine finish that isn’t dominated by the peat?

I got that same PX-Tomatin about a month later than you. My bottle number is 100 higher, so I reckon it will be long gone if you visit now. Really fantastic stuff and in my opinion quite fairly priced for a distillery exclusive (95 pounds iirc). I also warmly agree with your Glendronach and Bunnahabhain recommendations. The Bunna 18 is getting really pricey now though, but the 12 is still fantastic value. Have you tried getting Bourbon drinkers into Scotch with Bunna?

@@ScotchTestDummies I don't disagree that Springbank is not for everyone, but it is such an iconic malt that really represents what a traditional scotch is and it is amazingly complex. As such, I think everyone should "try before they die" because it is so iconic. I imagine Springbank is about as close as you can get to what a scotch tasted like in its infancy as a spirit. It is amazing that they still do everything, including the bottling. truly "old school". The local barley expressions are just incredible, and hard to beat the 12 Cask Strength. Even the 10 is pretty amazing.

@chriskennedy73214 жыл бұрын
@@ScotchTestDummies It's an interesting word. With a Brittish accent the word is pronounced heh·duh·ni·zm. To American English speakers, it sounds like the Brittish speaker is saying head-uh-ni-zm. It is a subtle difference, but Brittish English speakers are including the "d" in the second syllable just as American English speakers. Hearing the word spoken by a Brittish speaker leads to this common American mispronunciation. The key is the first syllable. Brittish first syllable is "heh," and American first syllable is "hee." So, our American ears tend pull the "d" into the first syllable when we hear the Brittish pronunciation. Listen to John Glaser say the word again keeping in mind that he is saying heh·duh·ni·zm, not head-uh-ni-zm. I hope this helps.
@chriskennedy73214 жыл бұрын
@@ScotchTestDummies One further point. Keep in mind that John Glaser is an American who lives in London, so the question is is he pronouncing it incorrectly, or is he using the Brittish pronunciation. I'd guess the latter in that he is softening the first syllable as the Brittish do, and placing the "d" properly in the second syllable. Hedonism is not a commonly used word, and it's likely that Glaser first heard, and learned to pronounce it in Great Britain. Again, I don't want to detract from the main point of your video. Your choice to include this Scotch blend here is, as a Brittish speaker would say, brilliant.

How do you order whiskey from the uk?cuz i will
@ScotchTestDummies5 жыл бұрын
been doing it for awhile now. unfortunately the sites still doing it are getting fewer and fewer. You just have to search online and check by adding to your cart and attempting to check out. once you enter your address you'll find out if they ship to the states or not.

Scotch Test Dummies Very long complex finish. Original aged in single tree casks. Had number (1-9) of tree on bottle. I have number 6, still sealed. Waiting for a special occasion. 😏
