Whisky Review - Glenfarclas 40 with Stranahan's Diamond Peak Comparison Ep: 201

[@jimgoldstein786]

you all should compare the diamond peak to the yellow Stranahan's? Is it worth the extra $20?

[@whiskeycrusaderwill8699]

Cheers! Thanks for the info and the shout out. That will be my next nice bottle purchase.

[@Bazzen]

Yesterday, I made a blend of the Jim Beam and the Jack Daniels, the standards. As many people here in denmark compares these 2, and calls them "the absolute same whiskey"..... they couldn't be more wrong! But I made a magnificent blend, were the best from each whiskeys turned up, and the banana notes got even better! You should try this... FOR SCIENCE!

[@tylers963]

Whats up guys. Love whiskey and love the channel. Ive always had whiskey with a bit of soda, but since watching this channel ive been trying more and more to drink whiskey neat. Recently ive bought a bottle of Glenfiddich 12, Monkey Shoulder, and good old Wild Turkey 101. Im still fairly new at drinking it neat, so my question to you is this. The more often i drink it, will it become less and less harsh? Is it kind of an acquired taste? I can taste some of the flavor notes but more often than not i notice more alcohol burn than anything.

[@AskAScreenwriter]

In one of the episodes you did with The Modern Rogue, you mentioned one whiskey (Henry McKenna Bourbon, I think?) that you said was WAY under-priced for how good it was. After comparing the Stranahan's Diamond Peak favorably with the Glenfarclas 40 this episode (I think those two little samples of the Glenfarclas probably cost more than the entire full-size bottle of Diamond Peak!), it made me wonder: Do you have a list of whisk[e]ys that you consider "values," not just because they're low-priced, but in that they deliver an AMAZING bang for the buck?

[@FightStealDrink]

AskAScreenwriter, you're going to love the next project we do with this whiskey tribe. Just sayin'. I think we start talking about it in the next episode.

[@AskAScreenwriter]

Thanks! My job situation is up in the air for the near future, and I just finished off my bottles of both Scotch and Irish whiskies. (I still have some Bulleit Rye and Buffalo Trace Bourbon to tide me over, though), so my bar-budget has to be spent wisely! Otherwise, I'm most DEFINITELY a 'Quality over Quantity' kind of guy.

[@jessicahaessly9031]

Love the show! And this thousand dollar bottle sounds amazing. I'll have to skip vacation one year, and spring for it. I'm more of a wine person, but I love my scotch. Laphroaig is my favorite so far, I love Laphroaig Cairdeas, and I'm diggin' the quarter cask I recently purchased, but my heart belongs to cairdeas. The last 3 times I ordered Laphroaig, I got it for free... I frequent a wine and spirits bar in Appleton, WI, and they just like me there, and one time (at a place I don't frequent) the guy behind the bar had no idea what I was saying to him when I ordered a single Laphroaig neat (they had the 10 year, which I actually prefer over the 18), I had to literally point the bottle out to him... maybe he was new, still I don't think he knew how to ring it up, so I wasn't charged. I appreciate that the education is out there, and you guys keep it fun. It's on my bucket list to make it down for a visit and enjoy whisk(e)y/scotch/maybe bourbon with you all. May your spirits always be shared with friends! Cheers!

[@KillerAngelM40A3]

Love Diamond Peak. Bought a bottle while I was out there a few months ago on a work trip, being as you can't find it here in VA. The tour wasn't anything life altering, but I really like the 100% malt aged in new oak barrels. To me, it's the perfect blend of Scotch style flavor (100% malt in used barrels) and Bourbon style spikiness (Corn/etc in new oak barrels). IIRC, the Diamond Peak is the same as their yellow label, but aged for 4 years instead of 2, and definitely worth the bump in price.

[@seanwing7695]

Daniel I remember in one episode you were talking about taking a clear spirit and aging it in a small barrel this is something I want to try but I was wondering what clear spirit you would recommend to do this with?

[@WhiskeyVault]

Honestly, try any. And keep doing a different one each time.

[@AlejandroGonzalez-hf8yv]

Recent subscriber here. Your channel rocks! You've inspired me to try a bunch of new Whiskys. Recently I even bought a bottle of Octomore (nectar of the gods). I do have a question, are there any blended whiskys that can give single malts a run for their money? I have a friend who insists that all single malts are better than blended whiskys, specially those from Islay. I have a feeling that this may be a very reductive view of blended whisky. Is there a blended whiskey that you'd recommend to help me win this argument?

[@Coniff]

This is getting me psyched for my Stranahans tour at the end of October! Also Rex, Daniel ruined your paper basket game with the sheer presence of him about to open another whiskey for you to mooch. He's psyching you out.

[@FightStealDrink]

WisdomForWizards, totally. I choked, no excuses. Avert your eyes the next few episodes.

[@Coniff]

Thanks for the heads up. I can't bear to watch a miss.

[@TheBradWhittington]

I'm waiting for the introduction of the garbage cam. Nothing fancy, just a budget webcam off in the corner.

[@Coniff]

This is a brilliant idea.

[@TheOriginalRaster]

I like the way you got started with a lot of dual pour comparisons. I've started doing this as a new "thing" for me. It's possible that you (Daniel) were teaching Rex at first so you would pour two and contrast the choices. As Rex has become more experienced you seem to have slowed this comparative process. I'm wondering if it's because you're shooting a batch of shows, so possibly you would tend to pour less, knowing that in a few minutes you start over, then repeat, repeat. What do you think? Cheers!

[@PearlDrummer1987]

Congrats on 31k subs and 200+ episodes! Loved the tour last episode and came home tonight seeing you guys trying Stranahan's Diamond Peak! As I sit here nosing it as well. The distillery is 5 minutes from my house and we ALWAYS keep a couple bottles around ;)I would love to see you guys do a review of Stranahan's Snowflake. Only on sale 1 day a year and only from the distillery itself. It is absolutely amazing. Similar style to Dalmore KA3 as in Rob finishes in multiple different barrels of all kinds. It is out of this world. I enjoy Dalmore, but LOVE Snowflake ;)

[@the-chillian]

Whenever I'm drinking the good stuff I use a brandy snifter. That's a glass designed to give you all the nose too. I got some Glencairn glasses recently but I'm not sure they're an improvement. Except maybe that, being narrower, it's easier to estimate the size of a pour.

[@villiambrannstrom2750]

Greetings from the northern part of Sweden, home of Mackmyra, oh and also IKEA! I would love to see a review of the canadian whiskey Lord Calvert, and the main reason behind this request is that me and my friends used to get crazy drunk by this specific whiskey back in collage just because it was cheap! Kind of funny now that I'm into whiskey. Absolutly love the channel!

[@dlrico00]

When I drink whiskey, I can not find the flavors in the tasting note that anyone provides, I just taste a different type of whiskey from one bottle to the next... however I will come across foods and smells that make me think of whiskey. Most recently an umbrella that was once used by a camp fire and fresh cantaloupe. I’ll then return to the whiskey searching for those flavors, and just find whiskey again... smooth, rich, robust, light, etc. are words I would use to describe what I taste (all words that are subjective). I never find flavors of other foods you gentlemen often use to describe what you’re tasting . Do you have any tip on tasting?!?!? I plan on practicing A LOT!!! Does this question even make sense? Enjoy the videos, thanks again.

[@shdwsnpr]

Hey guys, I've been watching your videos for a couple weeks now. I've always bought either Beam or Turkey 101. Since I started watching your videos I got a bottle of Elijah Craig and my first Scotch...a Glenfiddich 12. Look forward to branching out and trying many more whiskies in the future. To the tribe, any recommendations of affordable whiskies are appreciated. I live in rural West Virginia so generally my options are limited.

[@whiskeycrusaderwill8699]

shdwsnpr watch the top 10 beginner wiskeys video if you havnt already. Buffalo Trace, eagle rare 10, angles envy, Habiki harmony, bulleit rye, Jefferson's reserve are some of my favorites so far. None are above 55 in DFW Texas.

[@davidchavez6962]

Daniel recently I've become really interested in astrology. I have been reading and fascinating on the rotation of Earth. I just love the way the Earth rotates, it really makes my day.

[@drchoe7720]

Hi. Trying to decipher bottle code on my 40. Please let me know if you understand it. It’s. L 17 06 19 and the next line 1 07 04 BB (or B8)

[@Reitzel996]

And to think that there even is a 60 year old Glenfarclass is mindblowing. And what an incredible decanter it comes in!

[@steffenlarsen4315]

I recently had a chance to try the Port Askaig 15 year old and loved it. I would love to see you taste it and hear what you think about it, as I think it would be right up your alley.

[@patrickoneill3193]

Help! I recently took a couple week break from all whiskey. I felt like my pallet was becoming overloaded and flavors were all blurring together. When I returned, the first glass I had was Four Roses Single Barrel, one of my favorite bourbons. However something odd happened. It was like my pallet was overwhelmed by the seemingly dense flavor. It was harsh and spikey and vastly different that I remember. It was almost like the first drink of whiskey I had when I was 15 years old. Has my pallet changed or will once I start drinking more whiskey again will it recalibrate? This is really weird because I have always loved more and more complex whiskies and the complexity it brought for a bourbon is the reason I love(d) Four Roses Single Barrel so much. Love the show and keep it up!

[@WhiskeyVault]

This is not abnormal! taking a break from high alcohol re-awakens your brains natural response to alcohol, which is to warn you that it's trying to kill you. I like that experience to remind me what I'm drinking, but it will subside.

[@pogwee2679]

I love when you add some water drops and explain the transformation! Missed it here on the 40

[@Holcombi]

Rex, in a previous episode you guys compared glasses for consumption of whisk(e)y but you guys failed to try a snifter. You need to convince Daniel to redo that with the addition of the snifter since it meets his test of a tulip shape and can hold a damn lot of whisk(e)y, think about it, 12 ounces of Ardbeg Dark Cove for your sipping pleasure

[@WhiskeyVault]

We'll do a more official whisky glass comparison at some point!

[@maxphillips8895]

Congrats on the "200"....long may the numbers climb! And thank you for the subjective comparison vs a $1000 kissing fest. So glad you two keep this so real!

[@Nasse83]

Any chance for you two get a hold of Teerenpeli whisky from Finland? Would love to hear your take on it. Or the Kyrö single malt rye whisky (100%rye) from the same guys who make worlds best gin Napue.

[@jasonkleschult9118]

I will reply for them, I don't think it will be obtainable unless you send a bottle to me. I will make sure that it gets delivered to the whisk(e)y vault with enough for them to shoot a video.

[@GunnySGT1911]

Any idea where we can buy the Copita Nosing Glasses like the ones you used in the video? I'd like to get a set to go with my regular Glencairn glasses.

[@JasonFisk]

Not sure where you’re from. But If I want one I’d either go to Amazon or the Whislky Exchange in London. Google it, see what comes back.

[@laurenspeterdevries5144]

Would love to see a video from you guys about the new Norlan Glass. Seems an interesting one but don't know if it will make the difference and frankly you are one the few guys whos advice and reviews I trust. Keep up the amazing videos!

[@JasonFisk]

They’ve done that. Can’t remember the video, was awhile ago though.

[@laurenspeterdevries5144]

Seriously? Does anybody know what video? Can't seem to find it.

[@davidsolly544]

So, I am just starting to get into drinking whisk(e)y and your channel has helped me along the way. I find myself gravitating to scotch over other types and the other day, at a party, I tried some Glenlivet 12 year. I really liked it and bought a bottle for myself the following week only to find it to not be quite the same greatness until a few days latter when I tried some out of a half empty bottle, the same as I had first tried it, (at the party). Daniel and or Rex and or anyone have anything similar happen? P.S. Love the show

[@blairwitch1877]

Hey guys love your content ! I was wondering if you knew about Oxford blended scotch. I bought it very cheap in Cuba and can't quite spot the notes. There's nothing online reffering to it please help !

[@WhiskeyVault]

Haven't heard of it! I'll keep an eye out.

[@porondanga]

Macallan Brand Ambassador Charlie Whitfield recommends touching the whisky with the finger and touching the back of your hand and rub it in. Then smell the back of your hand to get the individual smells out of each whisky. Have you tried this? Does it work?

[@WhiskeyVault]

I love this idea! I'll try it out.

[@porondanga]

Whiskey Vault let me know how it goes. I will try it tonight.

[@charlieghague]

What are your thoughts on the large number of brands dropping age statements from their whiskies? You've said before we're living in the golden age of whiskey, but the dropping of so many age statements is a little unsettling. I was really sad to find out recently that Highland Park is replacing the 15 and 18yo with NAS bottlings. Does this mean distilleries are running out of old stock? And will it lead to a drop in overall quality?

[@WhiskeyVault]

I think it means two things. 1. they're definitely running low on stocks, and 2. they're no longer limiting themselves to age in order to create something magical. I think NAS is awesome. What it means in every case that I've experienced is the ability for master distillers and blenders to no longer be limited to created age focused whisky and instead open the gates to exploring the possibilities. the last few years have resulted in the 2 best NAS whisky I've ever tried and both became my favorite of that line. Ardbeg Dark Cove and Laphroaig Lore.

[@charlieghague]

Whiskey Vault I agree. NAS bottlings can be, and are, amazing whiskies. There are countless examples of that. My gripe is the taking away of age statements from core lineups. Like Highland Park, for example, has always had 3 extremely magical age statement expressions and tons of NAS limited editions based off those. I'm totally down with that but I'd like to see the age statement bottlings in core ranges stay intact.

[@UnboundOdysseus]

NAS is not a type of whisky; it’s a type of label. Age affects whisky. Older is different; not better, not worse, different. One of the things that has lead to the NAS phenomenon (other than running low on stocks) is the fact that the Scottish Whisky Regulations only permit the disclosure of the youngest component whisky. So if a particular whisky expression is 10% 8 Year Old (by volume), 50% 20 Year Old and 40% 35 Year Old stock, it can only be labeled as an 8 Year Old. This might put some people off. Maybe. There are great NAS whiskies (Laphroaig Quarter Cask, Ardbeg Uigeadail) and there are some which have been incredibly overpriced and very mediocre (Macallan Gold, Macallan Amber). I’d like to know what I’m drinking in as much detail as possible (age of all component whiskies, cask types etc.) but it doesn’t look like that will happen any time soon. Trial and error seem to be the only way...

[@GreatWonderMoose]

I'm not familiar with the levels of being a whiskey Sommelier. Is there some internationally respected board that defines and recognizes the system?

[@WhiskeyVault]

We are said international board. Because someone has to be the first to start something.

[@WhatsUpBro0]

You should try Gouden Carolus Whisky ! It’s a Belgian single malt whisky and it’s quite good 👌

[@AskTheTree]

i am a total beginner but started buying bottle after bottle thanks to you..! would you mind making a video where you explain the differences between scotch, bourbon, rye and whatnot? REALLY appreciate those videos, they literally make my day, so thank YOU guys.

[@FrostJarl]

Not sure if you came here from the Modern Rogue or just found this channel randomly, but Daniel was on an episode of Modern Rogue and gave a brief lesson on different types of whisk(e)y.

[@AskTheTree]

Oh! Thanks

[@FrostJarl]

Guess I probably should have also posted a link to the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g17Vm6d9lKh7sLc

[@paulvallejo]

Beardy Gollum, fake Richard Rawlings, I love your channel. Your reviews have made me try (and spit out) multiple whiskys. I’ll never get used to the peaty, caramelised paint thinner taste

[@jasonwerner5761]

Well f'n A. Was debating on the Stranahan's Diamond Peak. Now I must get it. Hope the store still has it!

[@WhiskyCardinalWes]

Daniel, you have mentioned in the past that people are trying all sorts of things to fast age alcohol, is anyone trying to limit the Angel's portion with new barrel designs? A distillery put out a promotional fact sheet about how many bottles were coming out verses last year and also how much was lost due to evaporation, in some instances it was over fifty percent loss. What effect would a regular barrel with half encased in a stainless steel sleeve be on evaporation, taste, etc?

[@Holcombi]

Instead of using stainless steel glass would be a better option as to not impart a metallic flavour to the water of life.

[@WhiskyCardinalWes]

A glass sleeve will break the first time the barrel is laid on it's side and moved. The stainless steel would have no direct contact with the whiskey, it's a sleeve, not an insert which would prevent the whiskey from fully coming into contact with the wood. My question about taste was, if only half of the barrel was exposed to the air thus limiting direct barrel to atmosphere evaporation would it impart 'age' slower? Faster,? since less whiskey would evaporate and has more fluid contact?

[@WhiskeyVault]

There's a barrel maker advertising this exact thing right now. Metal barrel with wood stave inserts and heads that can be "replaced" as needed. Not sure what the impact is.

[@WhiskyCardinalWes]

Whiskey Vault sigh, and here I thought I was ahead of the power curve, only to find out I'm so far behind. Whelp back to the salt mines.

[@StillIt]

This is SUPER hotly debated in the home distilling world too. One faction says that the angels share carries away some of the more undesirable parts of fresh whisky. Others disagree and that it is, as you say, just a loss. And just the way its always been. Interestingly enough a guy started making "barrels" by adding an oak lid to a stainless pot. This helped recreate the surface area to volume of a real barrel at a manageable volume for home distillers. Wonder if that's where the idea came from? Sounds similar! Honestly, I expect hobbiests to contribute more and more to the commercial world in coming years. It certainly happend in the craft beer world!

[@ducttapeful]

I know we are all about just the whisk(e)y. But could yall do a video on yalls favorite whisk(e)y coctails. Or ask the fans what thiers might be?

[@FightStealDrink]

TheNoobMoochc, it's on our to-do list of special episodes. Not sure when we'll get to it though.

[@TheBioethicist]

Ok, I sang your praises in the last video, but I feel I need to mention the WORST part of having taken Whiskey Level 1. After graduation, the class goes to the vault, and the new graduates ask hosts and instructors politely for samples from the vault. If they aren't stupid requests (no you're not getting M), you can use this as an opportunity to broaden your palate and explore the world of whiskey. All I can see now are the whiskeys I didn't taste. Oh! There's Deanston! I didn't have any Macallan! I don't remember having any Glendronach either, etc.

[@WhiskeyVault]

Ahhhh, the life of regrets

[@TheBioethicist]

I'm looking at those Highland Parks above your head the way a dog looks at an unattended hotdog.

[@StillIt]

Geez doesn't that wolf know that smoking a cigar will ruin his pallet for the super serious whisky tasting!?

[@WhiskeyVault]

Yeah, he's a savage. We can't get him to slow down.

[@1218Draco]

Idea for your next 30+ min episode: try Kirkland whiskeys to judge & give a recommendation on which whiskeys are as close as possible taste wise

[@WhiskeyVault]

Need to get some!

[@1218Draco]

Whiskey Vault DROP EVERYTHING! HES AT IT AGAIN!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5XQfKZnZc-Lhac

[@1218Draco]

Whiskey Vault And this time, Pewdiepie listened to you!

[@jordanpike5816]

About to try some glen breton 10 i managed to mooch. Which also happens to be distilled in Nova Scotia, right next door to my home province of Newfoundland, Canada. Most bars per square foot in North America so if you're looking for n alcoholic night out you know where to go.

[@FightStealDrink]

Jordan Pike, nice! Sounds like a damn good time. 👍

[@jordanpike5816]

It is if you can remember it. Memories have a funny habit of slipping away down there.

[@WhiskeyVault]

Heck yes! Love that whisky. Glenora distillery in Nova Scotia

[@ryan7864]

I was lucky to try a 45, 59, 68, 76 Macallan at a Fine and Rare tasting at the Speyside Whisky Festival...unreal!

[@shanestangle7322]

I have been gone too long, I missed your knowledgeable banter and you guys should have a subreddit. Cheers

[@ericmatson7339]

I was Lucky enough to try that at Wiskey Live in DC this year, it was one of my favorites that trip

[@Alex-kr7jb]

Ralfy would have let that 40 year old sit in the glass for at least 40 minutes

[@FightStealDrink]

my willpower lasts the amount of time it takes for my hand to reach the glass.

[@odyssey2353]

A bottle could cost $20, I'm still going to hang it over the glass for a minute to get every single last drop lol

[@jcetera]

So according to Richard Patterson you guys used the copita wrong, you're supposed to put the alcohol in the cup, swirl it, then throw it on the floor, then pour more of it to drink. Do a retake.

[@JasonFisk]

Dude, you know your Richard Paterson. I didn’t even think of that. Well played, Sir.

[@Gateau]

I bet Daniel is a major Richard Patterson fanboy so he probably knows of this technique, but if he were ever to waste whisky like that, Rex would explode.

[@charlieghague]

I hate to be super snobby and overly corrective but that isn't actually the glass he uses. This is the glass Sir Richard endorses. www.amazon.com/dp/B075RCL93F/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_j-PZzbC7N3RDA

[@inkubuzz]

I recently got these glasses (i happen to know the importer of spiegelau in Chile and he was moving warehouses and i got them really cheap...i mean...really really cheap) and I like them a lot, I still use the Glencairn when I have people over cause they are smaller, but those spiegelau are very nice and they "open up" the whiskeys a lot. at least in my mind www.amazon.com/dp/B01NBA0XGJ/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_tz7SAbH8YRXF7

[@shugaroony]

Rex would like it from the floor!

[@Laim01]

I'm watching you two enjoy $1000 a bottle whisky and here I am feeling fancy sipping on some Knob Creek.

[@WhiskeyVault]

You made a solid choice

[@kylerodamer3999]

Why do i like Elijah Craig small batch better than Angels Envy? Please explain my rookie palette

[@WhiskeyVault]

Because you have taste, and taste is freakishly subjective. :-) No wrong in that.

[@justanotherparatrooper7098]

well thats a first. Rex refusing to drink whiskey given to him by Daniel..... the world is ending.

[@FightStealDrink]

Herp.

[@jasonkleschult9118]

Well, I have officially dipped my to into the pool of scotch and into the pool of Japanese whisky. I bought Glenlivet 12 and Iwai (the black label). I now know what Daniel refers to as 'pretty' whisky, because the glenlivet was all apples, pears, and biscuit ( you know which one...). There was absolutely no burn whatsoever. I think I will get into scotch, as long as the bottles are sub $50, and miles away from any smoke/peat.

[@glfmail75]

Found an Irish whiskey that I can't find a review for....it's called "The Sexton" I'd love to hear your thoughts on it if you've tried it.

[@WhiskeyVault]

I have a friend whose last name is "Sexton". I need to find this whiskey for him.

[@glfmail75]

Whiskey Vault it's a kick ass looking squat bottle. Not easy to pour from..lol.

Thanks so much for the review, We enjoyed drinking the other bottles of Glenfarclas 40. I love the channel. I really like you guys. I freaking love whisky. My wife, less so on all three above things!

[@Holcombi]

Has anyone ever aged wine in an ex bourbon cask then used that cask for Scotch?

[@akuthia]

Oh master mooch, and level 3 Sommelier, please forgive me! I tried my first whisk(e)y last night. I was looking for monkey shoulder, but my bar didnt have it. They have me a short list (shorter than both me, and Daniel). not having the time to research which would've been friendly, and not really remembering the episodes of any of them, I picked Jameson. I smell it, doesnt smell like much of anything, can sense something, but not sure. Give it a taste: Gasoline, mixed with kerosene. I apologize, I am not a glorious bastard. In my defense, they served it in a regular 8oz tumbler glass

[@WhiskeyVault]

No shame. The glass won't help. One must start somewhere.

[@PO-tc1fw]

Greetings chaps... I was recently up near Elgin on honeymoon and the wife and I visited numerous distilleries.. the star of the show really was Benromach... I can highly recommend the 15 year old for a review.

[@TheBradWhittington]

There is an Elgin in Texas, just outside of Austin about 50 miles from the academy. Unfortunately, no distilleries there that I know of.

[@PO-tc1fw]

Brad Whittington the elgin in speyside is so jam packed you can spin a cat and hot a fair few. If you ever get the chance, you ought to visit out really is whisky nirvana

[@72redpenguin]

Never had rye before... would mitchers rye be a good representation of classic rye? This is by far my favorite channel on KZbin. 20% for Daniels knowledge, 5% for Rex's dickitude, and 75% for the subscribers. By far the most helpful whiskey group out there. Now if you guy could start reviewing firearms I would only have to watch one channel.

[@xXThorsMjolnirXx]

pewdiepie made a new video about scotch and its "very nice". he stepped up his glass ware game too with some glen-cairns you guys should check it out he might upload another one on Irish whiskey next. it would be cool to see another video from you guys on your opinions on the whiskys he reviewed cheers.

[@jackzhang631]

for the entire video I was worried that Daniel might drop his glass by the way he's holding it lol

[@nescafe123456478]

$1039.95 in Oregon. Gonna go get me one! (I wish lol)

[@AdamPFarnsworth]

The case price is listed at $3119.85... how many bottles would be in a case? I would imagine it's more than 3... (google says 12, but then each bottle would be $260)

[@jacksheppard2687]

Pewdiepie started with Laphroaig & continued to less intense whiskeys. How could he taste them properly after that? He didn't even use water. MOM! The funny KZbin man didn't do it correctly! Please make a pewdiebait video about it! I love you guys

[@OldTonyBasterd88]

i love you guys, keep it up :)

[@TheKinslayer777]

did anyone see a beard sparkle? I must have missed it.

[@darrellhood5430]

U guys need to go back to drinking 3 to 4 whiskeys each video Rex looks like he needs more and Daniel more stories please

[@drunkenmasterii3250]

Hey Pewdiepie just made a new whisky video. You've got to make a video about it like last time!

[@WhiskyJason1]

Mixing Glenfarclas 40 with Stranahan's Diamond Peak just broke my heart :-(

[@WhiskeyVault]

I didn't actually do it :-) Rex got to upset

[@sempi8159]

A bulleit bourbon review would be mucho aprechiato

[@tdolan500]

Fabrizio Semprini it’s made an appearance a few times.

[@fcernig33]

Dalmore is my favorite

[@JasonFisk]

The Cigar malt is epic

[@Ardonas287]

This is my first "live" video, and it's almost as exciting as that whisky is unattainable. Ah well, at least someone had fun.

[@silverJack85]

Guys I really wished you paid attention to glenfarclas 40. You got sidetracked.

[@TheEnigmaticGinger]

Ok. Now get a bottle of Stranahan's Snowflake.

[@gunkatas01]

You guys keep getting nice bottles of Whisky to review. Would you mind if I sent you a cheap, $10 bottle of Scotch? It's uh, not very good.

[@dont_talk2me]

Guys can anyone donate empty whisky sample bottles to me? Or tell me a place I can buy.

[@andrewtaylor4110]

Pewdiepie made another video, but this time on scotch. would be great to see your opinions on what he drank :)

[@Koby616]

Dem 40 years is crazy. That whiskey is older than me. 😅

[@Ryanta37]

"poured gravy on cookies" BOOM

[@HeinoRanda]

so happy i found you channel, but damn you are going to cost me a lot of money.

[@FightStealDrink]

Heino Poulsen, we regret nothing!! Haha, thank you for watching.

[@Chapcorps]

this channel has cost me probably close to $1,500 in my first 2 months. i had to completely give up homebrewing!

[@Username-xd3qx]

This is one of those episodes where Daniel didn't go against his fancy nature, and just gave in to it without a single ----. I miss these episodes.

[@IanCowen]

Why is Rex not wearing shoes tho

[@FightStealDrink]

Ian Cowen, so Daniel can look taller. 😉

[@albertmiller3082]

Glenfarclas 40 deserved 15 mins in glass to open up prior to sipping. A straight pour-n-sip is going to yield less interesting smell and taste.

[@TheDKing38]

Pewdiepie just made another scotch video. I'll be here waiting for your response.

[@TheSpider23232323]

Can you review the 25 year old?
