Aberfeldy 12 is a good low proof single malt choice. Of course there’s the Johnnie Walker Double Black for blended. I agree with the Laphroaig Select being #1. It has the most flavor by far!! It’s awesome that Brianna really likes it too, she’s a keeper.

[@glennhooper8867]

@@scottbartlett2087 You're a minority of one. You're missing the essence that is Briana. She's endearing because she is the exact opposite of someone trying too hard for attention.

I can see that the guys are trying new things, which will be liked / disliked by other people, alas it is impossible to please everyone. Much like my taste in whisky: I appreciate things which are interesting and different, if I pour a new whisky and it doesn't taste different then I will probably give it away.

Bowmore 12 is my favorite 40 abv Scotch. It's really well balanced, complex, and it's the best affordable scotch hands down. It has notes of smoke and salt balanced some light sweetness.

[@T--xk3hf]

I love Bowmore 12, it tastes far more expensive than it actually is, and is a much softer, and comforting dram compared to Ardbeg 10 or Laphroaig 10

[@typethe1316]

@@T--xk3hf Fully agreed. I think it actual tastes pretty close to Lagavulin 16. Same sort mix of balance and complexity.

[@kellysalyer1972]

So I'm working in the Netherlands and my 2 current 80 proof daily drinkers are Tenjaku blended whisky from Japan, and The Ardmore Legacy lightly peated Single Malt from Scotland. Both were on sale thru Gall and Gall liquor store. Not too shabby in my opinion for daily drinkers.

[@joes2431]

[@acelee632]

I'm sad Glengoyne 10 didn't make the cut! It's one of those that EVEN at 40% it does not fail to deliver in flavor and mouthfeel. I always recommend it to beginners if they need an 80 proofer and something "budget"

[@xiamengbaby]

The Glengoyne 10 that I have had was 86 proof.

[@nobeliefisok9174]

I just had my first sip of Laphroaig 10 yesterday (also my first ever peated whisky). Couldn't even finish my glass, almost regretted buying a bottle. Then I had my second glass of it today and it tasted delicious???? Not sure what kind of magic they put in it, but it really is everything you guys say about it! Truly an amazing experience

[@rometimed1382]

How different were your glasses? :D

You have to pass through the smoke to get to the flavors. Keep taking sips until your palate gets acclimatize to the smoke.

Man, Bri is just so adorable and bright and fun.

[@martinskyumthomasen4582]

I know you guys don't love it (from a previous video) but the Glenlivet 12 Double Oak is my favourite 40% whisky so far. Its notes of light fruits such as sweet pear and cantaloupe really compliment the simple, light sweetness of the whisky. But I'm mostly really surprised that Redbreast 12 didn't make the list at all.

[@pczYT]

I love Laphroaig! It's curious as I've never heard no one mentioning it, but the first smell that comes to my nose is the clay I used to play when I was a kid. Not play doh, real sculpting clay. Maybe that's why I have such an affinity with Laphroaig, It brings me old memories...

I have the same Glenfiddich12 at home. I´had to pour a little and compare what I smell with them. All I get are apples on the nose with hint of grain and vanilla. And as for the taste, almost all are those apples and pepper which Brianna mentions. Aftre a longer evolution I can taste pleasant grassiness and biscuits. Ty you guys for oyur videos. I really do enjoy them :)

Brianna rubs her hands together and smells the residue scotch oils..."I'm getting cocoa and shea butter...." Daniel: "No Brianna, that's just your hand moisturizer"

[@exoroxx]

I used to like Glenlivet 15, but I have to try the Glenfiddich 15 as well. I liked the Strathisla 12, but I wished it had a little more ABV. Same with Macallan Fine Oak 12. I live in Europe and we get the Laphroaig 10 with 40 ABV. I prefer it over the Select and it should be on my list. The Glenfiddich Age of Discovery Madeira 19y (40 ABV) was also quite good.

[@Bradsyoutube11]

I put a splash of Ardbeg 10 in my glass of Glenfiddich 12. Aaamazing

Pretty much all of the big names core range that are chill filtered etc in the UK are at 40%. Even Highland Park 12, which loses out A LOT at 40%.

[@TheDudeOnTheDrums]

I am truly stunned that you can find enjoyable notes in Grouse, I've tried so many times through my bartending career and I guess maybe I just don't have the palate for it but my god man. Just in case any non-Scots watch this video and think they should buy a bottle of Grouse to drink neat for enjoyment, please don't. It gets drank in Scotland with mixer; mostly cola, sometimes ginger ale/beer, very occasionally with soda. I'm speaking as a barman in a speciality whisky bar in the centre of Edinburgh, your mileage may vary around Scotland of course, and most importantly: drink the drink you like the way you like to drink it!

i know for a fact that one of the whiskys in famous grouse for a long time came from the Glenturret distillery in crieff, perth and kinross. my mum was born in the city of perth, so i've been to scotland a number of times, and the one time i visited a distillery was that one. i don't think they still provide the grouse with whiskey for the blend because they were bought by new owners in 2019, but i know they definitely did at one point.

[@D2uned]

Daniel and Rex's expertise is embellished by Brianna's fiendishly clever and funny enthusiasm! I especially like the tongue fluttering tasting technique. Is that called the "Whiskey FAN"? Maybe this oxygenates the sip? I'm getting some Carol Burnett notes here. They say if you do something 10,000 times you are a journeman. That is a LOT of sips. I'm not the greatest whiskey fan but I am a Whiskey Tribe fan. Pavlovian? HA HA HA!

The editing is really well done. Another enjoyable video guys!

[@MrGrimsmith]

I'm not sure if it's still the case but there was a change to the duty (tax on alcohol, fuel and tobacco) in the UK that prompted the ABV of the majority of spirits to be reduced to 37.5% as otherwise they hit a higher tax bracket, bumping the cost up significantly. Whisky was definitely no exception. Cider had to be below 8.5% or be taxed as wine amongst other things. I know that this has been relaxed for scrumpy and ale as some of those are barking (Tactical Nuclear Penguin springs to mind). Favourite though is still Glenmorangie Lasanta but Glenfiddich 12 and Jura 10 are both semi regulars and readily available.

[@BackLooking]

Dalmore 12 is my favorite. Why? It just has some more depth to it and the taste seems to be more interesting than for instance in Glenfiddich 12. I also like The Balvenie 12 Double wood but it has almost no aftertaste. Smells beautifully, tastes really good but after swallowing it just disappears too quickly.

[@JillNShirley]

Aberlour 12Y is my current go to! I really enjoy the notes on it. It's complex but easy to drink, and easy on the pocketbook. I've also had Glenfiddich 12 and 15Y, and I agree the 15Y is better. Was NOT a fan of the Auchentoshan and I don't think I'd like Laphroaig, as I don't prefer the briny/peat notes. But I would try it, for science.

[@mmtx73]

Some really solid pours here. The Glenlivit 15 is a solid whiskey. Also glad to see Famous Grouse make an appearance! It's has been my home bar blend for years. It's nothing that's going to set the world on fire but it's just a really nicely balanced blend. Much better that any of the generic bar pours you usually get, i.e. Walker, Dewers, etc.

[@YavorFilipov]

Connemara - the peatyness, not too much, but enought to get you going. BALVENIE 16 TRIPLE CASK - I can't remember exactly the taste notes of this one. Dalmore 12 - the orange peals and the cappuccino notes at the end, very smooth as well; Famous Grause Naked Grause - a bit flat, but great for it's price. A more sophisticated version of the regulars. Glenmorangie 10 - an absolute gem, kind of sweet but not too much, fruitiness Jura 10 - the cocoa....

[@nellychingo2010]

Fujisan 40 made using Mt. Fuji water in Fuji Gotemba. It is has light sweet toasted honey smell, slight malty, but light and delicate. Tastes like Vanilla and Oak happens in the middle and A very maraschino cherry finish, with a slight oily end.

[@asuraKabuto]

agree. one of the my personal favorite, especially after some time in bottle and aeration, alongside with 15 (they are very similar) but NAS select cask is more opened and playful, while 15 is more refined and balanced. still can't find out which one is my favorite.

[@KillCoMentalMusings]

I honestly FELT Briana's love of Crème brûlée, absolutely one of my favorite deserts. I should also mention that I now feel the need to go through my own collection, and find out how many bottles of Scotch are 40%... I best do a taste test while I'm at it.
