I received this bottle as a gift, it’s not one I have ever looked into trying because I generally like what I like and buy what I know I like. Wow an I happy with this bourbon. At first all I could smell was the the port it’s not a fragrance I am accustomed to so it was really pronounced, but as I continued to pour from the bottle I started getting a plethora of notes fruit, nuttiness and I am even getting a malt type note. Very smooth, very tasty and it just opens up in the finish so many flavors playing together that it seems like every dip leaves me tasting something else. To my shame I have been using this bottle as an everyday drinker and I just learned that it certainly not in my everyday drinker budget. So I will be corking the remainder up for special occasions. Love the channel guys it has inspired me to take my love of whisky and go out and try new bottles.

4th of July story time (Rex you will be proud). So my sister brings home this guy she is dating and as the older brother it's my job to basically give him shit the entire night, right? Right. So about halfway through the night I guess he was feeling a desperate need for my approval and knew that I enjoyed my whiskys so he offered me a bottle that he had at his place that he did not enjoy. A bottle of what you may ask? Laphroaig PX Cask. Gave it to me. The whole bottle. For free. Basically full. Now mine. God bless America and that nervous child.

Relative new sub for me so I'm going back over some of what I missed. Your advice around 14:30 is how I drink my whisk(e)y, but I think it drives bartenders nuts. They keep "checking" on me while I'm sipping. Mind you, this will generally be in some place that also serves food, where I've had a cocktail, wine with my meal, dessert, and then ending with a nice single malt Scotch, and sitting at the bar mainly because I'm by myself and don't want to take up a table. So it's not as if I haven't been spending some money there. I don't mind conversation, but there's no need to keep interrupting my drink when you can just look and see that I'm not finished and I haven't even hinted I need anything. I do love me my Islays. I mostly haven't moved into bourbon or rye yet, even though you guys are inspiring me. But an Islay... that first whiff from the glass, and I literally get goosebumps all over. I have to spend like 5 minutes just enjoying the nose before I have a taste. There isn't a lot in life I enjoy as much as that anymore. I am therefore somewhat disappointed in myself over a bottle of Glenmorangie 10 I bought to bring to a party. They only drank about half of it, so I took the rest home. It's... OK. I used to enjoy it a bit more if memory serves, but it just feels kind of flat now. (I'm a Ross on my mother's side, so I *should* enjoy it, but...)

So a funny thing happened. I have a friend who is just starting to try whiskey. I was thinking I would give him a treat so I poured six ounces of my precious “Angels Envy” into a flask and told him to enjoy. I gave him some instruction on starting with a small pour and really spend some time looking for tasting notes. I imagined him sitting back, sipping, and singing my praises about being such a great guy for sharing with him. Later that evening to my dismay he sends a picture of all six ounces in crushed ice in a glass you would drink ice tea in. I was like “holy crap what a waste” then I remembered the rules about “what you drink and how you drink it”. 😂😂😂 never thought I had a whiskey snob bone in my body but who knows?😎

Hey, Daniel and Rex. I am mostly a bourbon drinker but want to branch out and try more scotches. My brother let me try some of his Ardbeg Corryveckan and it was a little too advanced for me. I am sure you have answered this question a lot but where should I start? Also, I would love for you guys to drink more of the whiskeys for High West. I would recommend the campfire.

I think start with a decent Highland. Glenfiddich or Glenlivet. Dalmore. Highland Park. Maybe Talisker or Oban 14. Deanston 12. So many good things. It's a lovely journey.

If it helps I just started delving into the depths of scotch as well. After watching the video on Dalmore 12 I had to get it. You won't be disappointed. A great scotch with a great story

What something aged in Port Barrels? Try The Quinta Ruban 12 Years Old. My Canadian friends like Angel's Envy 'cause it's smooth like Crown Royal and smells like maple syrup. Which makes it great of your holiday eggnog.

After rewatching this episode. How was Angel's Envy Rye not tasted when looking for a rye Rex would like? I went to my local package store, and while talking to the guy there. He mentioned liking the rye better than the original Angel's Envy. Unfortunately they were out of stock. You must taste this for me. So I know which I should spend my money on. Immediately! Or atleast before I make my next trip to the store.

I was saving it for Rex. He didn't know they made a rye, and I was trying to limit the mooch action. Shhhhh. don't tell him.

Hey guys! Just started watching a few months ago! I was wondering if y’all could do a video on Rowan’s Creek Kentucky bourbon?

Curious how their Rye finished in Rum casks compares to this. Any idea why the crazy price difference between the two ($50 for the bourbon, $80 for the Rye in VA)?
@WhiskeyVault7 жыл бұрын
Price is rarity in almost every case. That would be my guess. We'll try out the Rye as well!

So in this episode you mention "finishing a bottle before it goes bad" and "air-to-liquid ratio." I recall you indicating something similar with moving your decanted whisk(e)y to a smaller vessel once you cross the halfway point. Can we get some info, perhaps a Daniel lesson, on the theory behind that? Good for someone like me who is very unwilling to finish a bottle for fear of never affording a replacement
@WhiskeyVault7 жыл бұрын
Yeah, once a bottle gets under 1/4, you have 6-8 months to finish it. Maybe less. Or, you can move it into a smaller container with no air and keep it indefinitely. The key is the least amount of air in the bottle and a perfect seal.

Aw man! So the Macallan 18 I've been bogarting for a year is totally screwed. That sucks but good to know. Live and learn [insert bottle down ceremony here].

I'm drinking my angels envy right now. I just got a new flavor I never got before. It's reminding me of those old fashioned donuts. With cinnamon sugar on it. Like the old fashioned unsymmetrical yeasty donuts.

I'll try to get it!
@ryanthewineguy31726 жыл бұрын
For some reason I just did not like one. But I had already had other samples of other whiskey at the time, so I might need to try it alone next time I go into work. But then again, I don't like Port so could that also play a part into the taste?

Haha. Poor Rex. I need a Little help. If I don't like the sweetness of bourbon are there a few ryes I might like instead, Any recommendations? Also I'm reminded of a Jim beam black I had in Liverpool once in a US diner. It was so damn strong and thick in flavour. Like tar or that Chinese hoi-sin sauce. Anyway guys, Thanks. Great episode. I'm off now to have a taste of a new sample bottle of glen scotia double cask. Peace.

Yeah, I feel the same. I'll think on it for suggestions.
