My Ten Tips for Whisk(e)y Beginners: (1) Remember.... Whiskey is a beverage, not a religion or political party. Don't get too hung up on it. (2) The end of the whiskey journey is death. Enjoy the process of exploration and don't be concerned with what you do and do not know or have not yet explored. (3) Spending your money on feeding your family is more important than buying the latest release from Ardbeg [or whatever your favorite distillery is], keep your priorities straight. (4) Different whiskies are suited for different places, occasions [weddings, birthdays, funerals etc.] , seasons [the heat of summer vs. the cold of winter], moods and purposes [cocktails]. (5) Beware of the hype, if you missed the opportunity to buy a particular bottle you have not missed anything. There are a gazillion other bottles out there that are just as good. (6) If you are enjoying high ABV whiskies [cask strength] occasionally recalibrate your palate by changing to lower ABV whiskies [around 46 ABV] (7) Neat, add a drop of water or on ice - it's your whiskey, drink it how you like it. (8) Google is your friend, anything you want to know about whiskey can be found by searching "What is.....?" (9) Drinking whiskey with a beard makes you look really sexy (10) The best whiskey is the one enjoyed with friends, family and other Magnificent Bastards.

I work in a Japanese college, and to stay quiet during my lesson-prepping I employ earphones while watching KZbin here in the office. At the 20:46 mark, you have ruined my delinquency as the expressions on your faces made me burst out in laughter. The quiet 'wa' ('harmony' in Japanese) of the office was shattered today. Thank you very much. :(

[@jamesn.phares6749]

I tried Monkey Shoulder based on reviews, including yours, and was shocked that I really didn't like it -- it had quite a bite compared with a bottle of Buffalo Trace that I bought at the same time. Then I read a review stating that they thought Monkey Shoulder improved significantly with water -- I added about 1/3 spring water to Monkey Shoulder and it totally changed the taste. If I hadn't done it myself, I wouldn't have believed that it was the same whiskey -- water mellowed it and brought out a sweetness that I couldn't taste straight up.

3 months ago I had never purchased a single bottle of whisk(e)y in my life. Watching all these videos and the Passion, combined your hilarious videos got my interested in exploring and trying to find what was past the alcohol burn / ptsd of past hangovers 😂 my current bottle list is green spot, monkey shoulder and a Laphroaig 10. Cheers lads 🥃

[@thereformedreader]

Doing the same. Got the first ordered for Xmas.

[@kellywellington7122]

Welcome, lads...I've been on my quest since returning from the holy land in 2017. Pace yourselves. I presently have 16 bottles of single malts alone, with a 'to buy' list of eight others. One of these days, I'll attempt to become more conversant in bourbon. It used to be that I had one each of Scotch, Irish, gin, rum, and tequila, and that was my selection.

[@johnhamm706]

Please enjoy responsibly Whiskey newbies. i have struggled with alcoholism for years now, but have been able to overcome indulging too much thanks to friends and family. i went from 1-2 liters of Old Thompson a day and waking up not remembering where the hell i am or how the hell i got there to drinking Lagavulin or Woodford or Creek Water a few times a week. dont get me wrong. every time i take a sip i want to down the bottle and fry my brain for the night, but it makes it more worth it to me knowing that i can just sit back, enjoy, be responsible, and love it at face value. life is good, whiskey is good. love them both at the same value and neither one will be so bad. its worth it fellow Whiskey Lovers

Love that you commented on age in whiskey vs. wine. Also the difference between varieties. I'm a wine and beer guy and just getting into bourbon and whiskey. I find that once I get past the burn, I'm getting all those notes that you guys talk about. My biggest challenge is finding my palate, which is also evolving.

[@stevestojan]

This is my new favorite channel on KZbin. And I do not drink whiskey. I may try it again. I was that guy that you mentioned in a video you posted a while back that would go to the bar, drink whiskey, make the face, and the bartender wouldn’t help me. I may need to try some with some water to learn. This is literally the most educational channel on YT. Keep it up guys. Fantastic content.

[@JMac.]

stevestojan you need to try an old fashioned my friend. A bit of sugar, some bitters, whisk(e)y and an orange peel... the cocktail rounds off the harsher edges of the whisk(e)y and slows you to enjoy the flavours while really taming the alcohol burn.

[@forema10]

@@JMac. That's great advice to give to any non whiskey drinker. The Old Fashioned is my favorite drink and is what got me into Whiskey. I love that you can choose which whiskey you want in your Old fashioned.

[@JMac.]

craig foreman thanks Craig! I’m starting to branch out into more whiskeys and I’m the same as the Gentleman above, I find it a bit harsh by times as I’m used to mixing it with ginger ale, I’ve found the Old Fashioned has really helped me start to appreciate the flavour of the spirit by itself and it is making it a lot easier to try a dram neat when trying a new whiskey. Cheers brother!

[@stevestojan]

Thanks, gents! Will try one on Thanksgiving!

[@MrVortexRider]

I'm just getting started on this journey and I'm getting so much useful info from this channel and the fb group.

[@collindow2037]

Im a huge fan of craft beer, and spend alot of time touring breweries with my fiance. I started my whiskey journey by drinking McNaughton's (cheap Canadian whiskey). I made it in a Manhattan/old fashioned style drink. Then I started ordering it on the rocks when I go out, and experimenting with different "bottom shelf" whiskeys on the rocks (I always asked for a splash of bitters). Then I started watching your show and started drinking it neat. That's when my flavor palate grew! Now, I prefer it neat, and have experimented with different Scotch's and bourbons. So much love to Rex and Daniel and the Magnificent bastards! I've learned so much about the whiskey I'm drinking, and finding the whiskey that I like. I now prefer it neat. Unless its not very good whiskey, I'll drink it on the rocks. No more Manhattans and old fashioneds for me. :)

[@tbayless8324]

I'm late to the party in the Whiskey world, right now trying Bourbons, very much of a newbie, wonderful to see neighboring Texans on here having alot of fun and giving out knowledge, all of this is new to me. I am learning. I walk into liquor stores getting good & bad advice of what I would possibly like. It has become a long list. Thanks for this. I am having to back track through your videos to see what I have missed.

[@Gl4uc0n]

I'm new to whiskey and to alcohol in general. Videos like this have been great in helping me find what I like and giving me a starting place for trying new things. I just tried my first scotch, Monkey Shoulder, and I love it. Keep up the great work guys!

[@thespiritmonkey9956]

The Spirit Monk[e]y is much pleased with Monkey Shoulder.

[@thomasdantas]

One common mistake I used to make and I see others doing is trying to swallow right away. That's how you get the unpleasant burn trumping the flavor. Hold it forward in the mouth on the tongue for a bit first.

[@korinmessina5756]

I have some suggestions for introducing someone to whisky. I am not as big of a whisky drinker as my husband, who primarily introduced me to whisky, but feel my appreciation and knowledge have come a long way. Learn about the whisky beginner's other tasting experience and food preferences, ex wine pairings, single source coffee or chocolate, do they prefer milk chocolate or dark, sweet or savory, etc. Find out their level of interest, are they trying to become a bartender, do they just like exploring different food and drink, or do they want to be able to talk intelligently about whisky to their father-in-law? Offer side by side comparisons. I think tastings are a great way to learn, whether whisky, wine, cognac, chocolate or coffee. Don't assume women will only like sweet drinks...some men seem to think that.

[@kobyfitz96]

I like ice in my whisky occasionally depending on the whisky. I like how it cools it but hate that it dilutes it. When I want ice, I use reusable ice cubes. Nice cool whisky, no dilution. Win win.

[@sg03495]

Just found this while getting into whiskey - thank you SO MUCH for the comments on tasting notes. Can just taste the alcohol (and vague fruity vs not notes) at the moment.

[@seanmagallanes1276]

One of the things that I discovered that I really enjoy about a good whisk(e)y is smelling the glass after I've emptied it. It's amazing that the scent will develop and change for minutes after I've drained the glass. Being able to smell the dram without the alcohol present let's me discover aromas that I would have otherwise missed. I've sat with an empty glass for 15 minutes just appreciating the aroma of a really great whisk(e)y.

[@morganschiller2288]

I really appreciate you guys. I started the wrong way. Straight up used it as a pain killer before I had spine surgery. I probably sound like a horrible person for saying that. But ten years later I am actually tasting the subtle differences in scotch. I was ok with blended whisky. It fit the bill, but when I got a better paying job. I opted more for older scotches and now I know more than my local booze barn. It did take me a long time to appreciate all of the flavors after the initial boozy punch.

[@Name-vu1kn]

The best advice I never got is don’t start at the liquor store. Go to a bar (if it specializes in whiskey even better) and try as many different types as you can little by little over a month. Find what you like and don’t like first, then find other distillers that are similar to what you like. Stay with that for a little while then expand. Staying out of the liquor store at first allows you to explore without buying an $80 bottle on a recommendation only to only find out you don’t like it.

[@nuuwnhuus]

Even better is finding out if there are whisky events nearby. There is a yearly one here where an entrance free of 30 euro's gets you a ton of whisky to try out. Some special ones cost one to three euro's. There's literally thousands of bottles there. It's the best thing ever.

[@SnakesRaptors]

I have been watching you guys for a free months hated whiskey to start just rated like licking a camp fire the more I've watched and learned the more I've given it a chance and found new likes so keep it up love you guys

[@oneleggedrussianpeasantboy8243]

Just found your channel and you had me sold at "take the ice out"! Why is that such a groundbreaking suggestion, and why had it never occurred to me either?!

[@kushlordaqw3477]

Something i found interesting about the flavours is to tell what they are without being able to taste it, dry some of the whisky on something, maybe a paper and then smell it when its completely dry, i noticed that the homemade tinfoil funnel i made and used with some aged whiskey smells really amazing and nothing like what id consider "whisky", and nothing like wet whisky or smelling from the bottle imo

[@kushlordaqw3477]

Keep in mind im brand new to this craft and have no prior experience so please, dont call me a retard

[@jonathanmosebach2921]

My very first whisky that I ever had was Cadk Strength Laphroaig! And I was hooked! I started eating Habaneros when I was 5 and spicy curry when I was 8! My favourite foods are Thai/Indian/Mexican/Jamaican...the spicier the better! So my friend, thought he was being a wisenheimer, thought he would "start me out" with Cask Strength Laphroaig! I was in love! That was like a Slayer "mosh-pit"! My next whisky that i tried...later that night....Scapa 18....Transcendant! That was like being at Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite! More Ballet, more delicate but a wonderful waltz of taste! So that is the story of my into to whisky!

[@TheSheldonblack]

[@ThePivotCreaters]

Was drinking my first Glenfiddich right of the back of a Gentleman Jack, tasted far different to the week after when i had it straight with nothing prior, and tasted even more different when i snuck it into a flask at a party.

[@GaOutlawVinyl]

I’m new here & to whiskey. I’ve bought 4 types of whiskey. The last 2 I ended up mixing together. It was way better mixed the. Separate. I then tried some of the different things you have suggested. I usually drink it neat. Quite often over ice. I tried your suggestion to add a small amount of water & couldn’t believe how much that changed it for the better. Finally I added Sprite & it was like discovering I knew magic. It was amazing.

[@michaelfrey7982]

Whisk(e)y tasting is almost definitely a process, which is not fully realized when one first begins trying it. Some fun, and interesting, tips for tasting include: smelling your arm before smelling the whisk(e)y; the neutral smell of your skin allows more flavors to pop out, swirling the whisk(e)y around your mouth to test the thickness and the heat, taking a small sip to let your mouth get used to the alcoholic taste, and taking a larger sip to let the whisk(e)y hit the back of your throat (and form a “Kentucky” sweater).

[@ROBIEM97]

Watching two grown men doing the cinnamon challenge and not over-react is far more hilarious than any other person doing it.

[@joe65710]

"Good whisk(e)y is whisk(e)y you like to drink, the way you like to drink it" as I'm sipping on a whiskey sour cocktail made with Rich & Rare blended with Canadian mist. Also I really wish that companies were WAY more open with their blends, Also the age statement, all they have to do is make the surgeon general warning label on the back or side just a few lines bigger. Its just fascinating to me to learn where my whisk(e)y is from and whats in it and how old it is.

[@oscarmadison431]

Even though my comment was tongue in cheek, thanks for the shoutout and using it as the example of what to be wary of.... Ps- I still dont use a lid for my glass.... even the flies need a drink every once in a while. 😉

[@REDNECKNERDVT]

My advice is it's okay to enjoy a mixed drink. I love a good old fashioned, it's important to know it can be made in a variety of ways much like your episode on the Hot Toddy. I love mine with Buffalo Trace, simple syrup, bitters and a few thin slices of orange peel. For something strange and amazing substitute the Offerman Edition Lagavulin or even the standard 16 Yr Lagavulin. Sooo good.

[@runawayrick2461]

Absolutely love this video. Great help for a 40yr old beginner. Going to be on the subreddit to find out how to stay away from black licorice.

Just discovered this channel when I got covid (im fine) and it's helped me a lot, the only whiskey nerds I have spoken to have been the ones that look down on you because you dont know every little thing instead of enlightning you, I have always been told burboun sucks and irish is for noobs, after binge watching your channel for the last week I ended up ordrering a bottle of regular Wild Turkey 101, Redbreast 12 and a bottle of makers mark. Cant wait til the weekend when they arrive, I would never have tried these if all I did was listen to the whiskey nerds I know (they where all about the scotch and the scotch only).

[@latwood101252]

On the topic of Whisk(e)y Beginners, I think it was on the Vault channel, Danial gave his choices of several whiskies as a "starter sample pack" to be used when trying to introduce someone to scotch. I was wondering if he could revisit the topic and provide the list again, or maybe an updated version?
