Is FLAVORED Whiskey Actually Bad? (or are we just too afraid to admit the deliciousness...)

All MB's know that RULE #1 in the Whiskey Tribe is - The BEST whisk(e)y is the whisk(e)y you like to drink - the way you like to drink it. But FLAVORED WHISKEY never seems to get any love in whisky circles. Is that reputation deserved? Or have we been missing out on something tasty because we're too worried about what our fancy friends might think?

10:45 Honey can have notes. Bees were stealing ingredients from a licorice factory in my hometown, and their honey tasted like licorice. You might find that the bees responsible for the Yukon Jack are also responsible for pollinating a citrus orchard.

[@Joe_J-MT_Boy]

Get this.... I worked for almost 10 years for a craft brewery. The master brewer always buys local honey at our Farmers' Market because it helps build his immunity to local pollens and their allergens. That makes perfect sense.

[@SilverGreeneye]

Rompope. It’s the best eggnog available all year round. Add a little nutmeg, and it tastes just like Christmas.

[@emmanuelporte4201]

[@seansterling5322]

How to Drink has a awesome single serve eggnog recipe. 2 oz bourbon, .5 oz simple syrup, .5 luxardo maraschino, and a whole raw egg. Dry shake to emulsify then shake with ice. Pour in glass, and mix in 3 oz whole milk. Top with nutmeg. I love replacing the spirit with a great jamacian rum and ditching maraschino for a coconut rum.

[@metalmaster83]

Drambuie is meant to be mixed with scotch in a rusty nail cocktail and I think it is amazing with laphroaig 10 personally

[@MrWhangdoodles]

In what kind of ratio? I have the 15 as an ingredient for a couple cocktails at home, but I never tried it only with whiskey.

[@fishflake1209]

@@MrWhangdoodles You’ll hear anywhere from a 1:1 to 4:1 scotch/Drambuie ratio, depending on the source. I generally do a 3:1 ratio for any whiskey-liqueur duo, but I like my drinks on the medium-dry side.

[@tsrindahl]

Exactly, I don’t think anyone drinks it neat. It’s a liqueur. Drambuie is no more a flavored whiskey than Grand Marnier is a flavored Cognac. I love Rusty Nails almost as much as an Old Fashioned. I make them 2oz blended scotch like Chevas Regal 3/4 to 1 oz Drambuie stir on the rocks and float 1/2 oz Ardbeg 10 or Uigeadail on top. Then an optional second float or Angostura Bitters. Heavenly!

[@oivind22]

Yes, that's what I keep a bottle of Drambuie for. I use a ratio of 3:1 or 4:1, whisky to Drambuie. I have only tried it with Johnnie Walker Black, but my idea was to use it for whiskies I don't finish because they're too boring (I'll try with Laphroaig sometime, though). Throw in some Drambuie and ice, and you have a nice dessert. Excellent after a heavy meal.

[@MrWhangdoodles]

@@oivind22 That's a good idea. I have bought a few whiskeys that are absolute duds and would never drink again, I could try and see if they work with this.

Then you gotta have some breakfast, so you make some pancakes and have some Knob Creek Smoked Maple with it. And then before you run out the door, you gotta brush your teeth, after which you have a shot of Old Forrester Mint Julep to freshen up your breath.

Flavored whiskeys were actually my gateway to whiskey. The flavorings and sugar toned down what were harsh notes and alcohol burn. Once I got used to it, then I stepped into neat pours of real whiskey. Haven't gone back to flavored whiskey since.

[@deedavis6981]

Hoping my whiskey journey will lead me here one day! My father loves scotch and I can't quite get there... I can have a neat pour of the knob creek maple smoked and I can do chilled skrewball pb whiskey🥲. I'm hoping these are a gateway into regular whiskey

[@marcwhiskey]

I'm glad you guys didn't trash the Slow & Low. It's a good gateway for people starting to drink straight spirits or on ice due to the proof. Has flavor to get past the burn. Also mix Jameson Cold Brew and Pepsi, surprisingly good. No coke, Pepsi.

I know I am a year and a half late to the party here... But, I am a Mint Julep fan. I like them. I have actually ordered them at a couple of bars, although nearly none of them do it justice. The Mint Julep is responsible for the invention of the drinking straw. It was the favorite drink of the guy who invented them because you aren't supposed to touch the glass. Don't want to water the drink down with your body heat, and he didn't like the hay flavor that was added with the straw straws of the time. That, and they got mushy. So, he got with his drinking buddy, and the two of them (one worked at a paper mill, the other a pencil factory) wrapped paper around a pencil, waxed it and called it a day. He made a few dozen to give to his bartender and they were a big enough hit a new product was born. Thank you, Mint Julep.

ive seen a couple schools of thought on the mint julep - some say its best with you brush the mint around the tin prior to adding whiskey/sugar/ice, and some say all you need is the aromatics from the mint bouquet garnish. there are those who muddle mint in the bottom, but that seems to be a biiiig nono with bartenders

I'm always a fan of some Fireball mixed with any hard cider.

I actually bought that Slow and Low Rock and Rye after you reviewed it on the Vault. It’s tasty from time to time if I want something easy and sweet I also love to use the Honey Jack Daniels for cooking, I have a recipe with it on my channel

I've only had Drambuie as part of a sauce over bread pudding- pretty good that way, may have to actually try in a cocktail now.

A shot of Screwball peanut butter mixed with a shot of chamborde makes a pb&j doubleshot that’s delicious. Someone was handing them out at a party and it was a great snack. Couldn’t drink a glass full but a shot was nice.

All right, I'm only 4 1/2 minutes or so into the video and I must take some exception to the mint julep critique. My wife and I just visited Louisville in early summer and discovered is a distinct, stark difference between the julep syrup designed to make fast cocktails versus the dedicated bartenders that freshly make a fine mint julep. In addition, how dare you with blaspheming egg nog, sirs! Even if I prefer my nog with tequila. Love the content, as always, and especially loving the atmospheric ambiance.

I got a hangover watching you guys… but it was worth it! Awesome video 🤙🏼👐🏼👐🏼

Rock and Rye is probably my favorite flavored whiskey, because it is just like you said. A "full strength" mixed drink. Crown Peach is pretty good too, but extremely sweet. I remember when JD Tennessee Honey came out that is was very easy to do shots of, but haven't had it since. Haha

Try a Rusty Nail with the Drambuie. 2 parts whiskey, I like it with a middle of the road bourbon, and 1 part Drambuie, serve over large ice and with a lemon twist.

Now that it’s winter, I’ve been putting a splash of Screwball in hot chocolate and it is delicious 😅 just to try, I even put a splash in a glass of Bailey’s and even Khalua and it wasn’t bad. I’m a sucker for peanut butter tho

Rock & Rye is, since Colonial times, and still is, at least here in Appalachia, a cold/fever cure, with a twist of lemon. Served hot. I'm surprised y'all Texas boys didn't know that. Great channel.
