I gotta say, I love the Lagavulin 16, but Laphroaig 10 Cask Strength is my current "Islay of Choice". It's not as friendly (relatively speaking) as the Lagavulin, but if you don't really taste proof anymore, it's fantastic. And at my usual store, it's about $30-$40 USD cheaper.

Joe eventually got his head around Islay whisky. He quite often has a Laphroaig on the table. I really don't understand his hard on for Buffalo Trace though. Unless they send him some premium, nicely aged stuff. He's done a collaboration with them so I expect they do. Seen Macallan 18 on his table alot as well. He and his guests just dump ice in it and throw it down!! 😱 When you have his money I suppose you think you can do that 😄👌 Completely and utterly missing the experience though.

Totally agree with the point to have a few bottles at home which are whisk(e)y for non-whisky folks. But what are those? I guess usual suspects like Glenlivet 12 will do but what would be some more obscure choices for approachable, easy drinkers (Scotch, Irish or Bourbon). Because you know, its nice to impress a guest, and not to offer the grocery store shelves.

Really hard to watch that person - like he’s selling used cars… On a much better note, it’s a great service that you provide by suggesting viable alternatives to the bottles in the various videos. I started out drinking single malts but migrated to rums, then bourbons and the occasional rye. Having been away from single malts for a while now, I can appreciate your recommendations. 👍

I’d like to pick up a Blanton’s just to have the content on my channel, but I’m getting tired of middle-shelf whiskies going for bank on secondary and driving the prices up at retail. Similarly, there’s no way I’m paying valet-parking prices for middle-of-the-road juice like The Dalmore. I have to remind myself that these guys aren’t whisky tubers; they’re essentially making the KZbin version of those listicles one sees all over Facebook. Mass-market is what they are going for.

Thanks Evan! Good call. I was meant to say value for money. You're right, Rare Breed is a much better alternative. For reference - Blantons here is $220 NZD, Wild Turkey is $60 and Rare Breed is $90. The value for money for Blantons is what makes it super overrated.

Any chance you can find Early Times Bottled-In-Bond? It's a waaaaaaaaay underrated bourbon and is available at $24 USD. It's my go-to if I can't find a Blanton's. Wild Turkey is no where close to Blanton's. Wild Turkey's flavor is no-nonsense oak. Blanton's (and Early Times BiB) has rich blend of caramel, apple, pear, and spice.

I think you'd find The Whisky Hunter (aka Chris Gormley) interesting to watch; he has turned me on to a few whiskies that I find to be good value for money and I can usually find them in Canada. Our selections in Canada can be pretty limited in terms of Scotch other than the big labels, but there are lots of whiskies from many places available - how does one find the time to explore them all? 🤣

It's kind of funny how people keep spreading all that misinformation, trying to look important, impress, or whatever, instead of actually educating themselves first. I have no idea who any of those tubers are apart from Rogan but like you said, drink cause you like it. Buy cause you want to explore. The age difference of my youngest and oldest whisky is 40 years and from super smoky to non smoky, bourbon, irish, scottish, japanese, australian, finnish, sherried, calvados barrel, cognac barrel, redwine barrel, abv 40-66%.... I love whiskies of all kinds. Great to explore and learn instead of being snobbish about it. There is a whisky for every occasion, and whisky is great for cooking as well! I've had whiskies distilled in 1950s and onwards, up to 50 years old, whiskies worth 5 digits. It almost never is worth the price when you exceed ~500€. Yes, it might be exceptional but definitely diminishing returns. My favorite very expensive (I think very expensive) are the older Highland Park 25 year olds. Extraordinary sherry & smoke combinations.

On Dalmore…I cannot stand the taste. In fact every single colored whiskey that isn’t heavily Peated/Lightly colored I can blind taste and know if it’s been colored. I don’t know if I’m just super susceptible to that flavor but cannot stand that flavor I find it overpowers all. I even shelled out for the Cigar Malt and still couldn’t stand it. I keep trying Dalmore but keep being disappointed so I really just hope to find an independent bottle one day.

Not my cup of tea for whiskey that costs in the nearly 100 dollars a bottle and over crowd. I'm guessing that people will only tolerate buying good tasting whiskey in the 40 to 80 dollar range that's at least 100 proof, because anything lower has a problem retaining taste because the alcohol is the portion of the liquid that holding the majority of the taste profile of the whiskey. I don't like that the industry is trying to constantly promote products in the 60 to 90 proof range, because two things become apparent that's against the consumer. When low proof whiskey gets sold, it more likely becomes tainted with additional flavorings that reduce the utility of the liquid and often limits duration of consumption time before the product goes bad. The other more obvious problem with low proof whiskey is that it is so diluted that it becomes bland and feels like just some form of flavored vodka. Thanks for the video. It shows that the more noted people that we see are not that enthusiastic about whiskey, but they do tend to look for the pricier and more exclusive products just because those items are harder to find and not because these people actually prefer them over other options.

Instead of Blue Label, how about the Green Label or Double Black, OR something from Compass Box. Instead of Lagavulin, Bruichladdich Heavily Peated or the Ledaig 10. Ah Blanton's, ((shrug)). Instead of the Horsey bottle, the pick of WT 101 is spot on. My alt would be Knob Creek 9 year. UUUggghhh, Woodford Double Oaked is such a disappointment. Old Forester 1910 is the better alternative. Abalour is lovely stuff. Other Sherry finished scotch? Glendronach 12. No qualms for the Edradour or the Dalmore. My only objection is turning people on Edradour. Stop telling people about hidden gems! On point about color added to Dalmore and price. Good suggestions. Joe Rogan, pass. Who the hell is this last guy?? Such a Jagoff, setting to ignore. 😆 Surprised you didn't include Pewdiepie. Cheers!

Is Blanton's really that good? No. Whiskey noobs talked it up in the US to the point where everything thinks it's a premium bourbon. It's a good, not great bourbon, and you can definitely find better bourbon at it's $60 suggest retail price. The problem is that people have talked it up so much that it's almost impossible to find in the US now, and when you do find it, it's usually marked up to $200. It's just not worth that. I'd argue it's barely worth $60, especially when you can find stuff like Russell's Reserve Single Barrel, Old Forester 1920, Wild Turkey Rare Breed, Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof, Woodford Reserve Double Oaked, and Four Roses Single Barrel for the the same price or less.

Wild Turkey 101 is not a replacement for Blanton's. Get Wild Turkey Rare Breed instead. It's still about $15 cheaper and is a way better bourbon. You guys overseas need to step up your bourbon game. Wild Turkey 101 is a good budget bourbon. It's far from representative of what a quality bourbon is.

Good call. It was more a value for money thing. But I agree, Rare breed would probably be a better alternative for price point. For reference - Blantons here is $220 NZD, Wild Turkey is $60 and Rare Breed is $90. The value for money for Blantons is what makes it super overated.

I´m from Europe and good bourbon is rare to find. USA has such great market for bourbon you guy don´t need to sell it here and bourbon is very rare and very expensive to get apart from the recognizable brands

WT101 is closer in proof to Blanton's. If you started giving people who drink 93 proof --> 117, I think they'd be quite shocked.

come on mate dalmore is a bad whisky lead the wave of hate!!! Patterson is no blender, he went through sherry cask like a mad man. It's watery, boring and bloody over priced af. Mostly the complaint is about it being over priced, selling chili filtered dog water for 200 is madness. the coloring just makes it even more scummy.

aberlour a bunadh is one of my most overrated whiskies, the old batches were phenomenal, they were mixtures of very old stock 20+years and younger sherry casks, with really good casks, this mixtures made some very complex and deep whisky. Now its just young seasoned sherry casks in CS, nothing special, id rather go with other sherry bombs that have more charackter

Enjoyed your video, as nearly always. Thank you. I do wish you would 'calm down a bit'. As an An American I have to struggle just a tad to understand you lot with your funny dialect but when you speak really fast it becomes uncomfortable. That being said, your editing is par excellance. Nobody even comes close. Video worth watching for sure.

Anyone who uses “smooth” as a description is immediately invalidated in my eyes. Most likely don’t have a mature enough palate to pick out the actual flavors.

I don’t like the word either, which is why in my other videos I prefer the word tame or mellow instead of smooth. But I knew a lot of beginners would watch this one who use the word smooth

Everyone knows the older the ageing , the better it is. I don't know what you are talking about man? All Whiskies are natural colour. The peaty flavour obviously comes from the peat in the water. Dah !!! The saltiness comes from the sea breeze blowing over the barrels. If you have to add water to your whisky then you obviously aren't really a man. All the real experts will admit to you that the Japanese make the best whisky in the world. They make Sherried Whisky by pouring in a few bottles of wine to each barrel. Sherry is wine made from Cherries. .......
