    I almost always drink my whisky neat, but I must say that on a hot summer day I do enjoy a dram of The Classic Laddie on ice (just one giant ice cube). starting at 50% ABV it doesn’t get diluted too much by the giant ice cube.

  • @SaranWaz

    Whiskies and spicy food do not go together IMHO. I have tried some Thai spicy food with Ardbeg and a few non-peated as well. I couldn't stand the burning sensation as soon as the whisky touched my tongue. Spicy food and red wine or beer are much better pairs.

    Thank you for the clip. This is great. I have tried to pair some whiskies with food (Thai food) but it was always turned to spicy side. So with food, I will stick with red wine hahaha. Now I know what to pair my whiskies with. Luckily, I have almost all of the bottles you used here. The difference is Glenmorangie. Mine is Quita Ruban. I think it should work as well. ^__^

    I’m a bourbon drinker and I’m dabbling in scotch. Definitely not a big fan of peat. Having said that, I’ve found several scotches I do enjoy: - Lagavulin Offerman rum cask - Ardbeg BizarreBQ - Ardbeg Heavy Vapours committee release - a Highland Park that I’ve forgotten - Balvenie 21 Not sure if this list makes me an object of derision because I don’t know enough about scotch.

    These aren’t enjoyable scotch whiskies to me as I have gone way past them on my scotch journey. These were never expressions I found complex. I don’t like the sweetness in Bourbon and I find scotch to be a far more sophisticated spirit. These are very much beginner scotch choices. Not much to them. There are so many that are better even for Bourbon drinkers.

    Great episode! Are you also going to be doing one the other way around like 'My top bourbon picks for scotch drinker'? I started with scotch and now have 90% scotch at home. I have tried a few bottles of bourbon but not a whole lot of luck there except for 2 bottles, one is Russel's Reserve Single Barrel and the other is Wild Turkey Rare Breed. There are both cask strength. Though they smell totally different from scotch. /Saran (Thailand)

    The prices have gone up massively in the last couple of years no matter where you live.I live in Germany and we have a relatively low alcohol tax and buying drams is much cheaper than in the UK. The massive corporations behind so many distilleries these days know that the demand is going up and just turn the screw up on their prices ( ie Diagio) The secondary market is also pushing up prices when they see demand going up,just see what's going on with Springbank these days. I accept the reasons you have mentioned but Single Malt enthusiasts are being screwed for corporate gain at the moment !! 😡

    Nothing like sitting out in good weather sharing a dram with friends. I'm a Welsh Ex-Pat living in Germany and get together regularly with a couple of British mates (Welsh and Scottish) to share our newest drams.

    I recently hosted a tasting session for a group of newbies (friends of a friend) I used naturally presented whiskies with 46%. both peated and un-peated with different barrel maturations. The two clear favourites were Arran 10 and Kilchoman Sanaig.I was suprised that so many people really loved the Sanaig after the first taste !!

    Hi Stuart, This is a great vdo that finally makes me understand the reasons and effects. I, too, cannot find the difference but always enjoy sipping whiskies of different types. However, like you, I prefer non-chill filtered just because I like nature. I also like cask-strength if I come across one. I may try this experiment tonight but will probably use a metal spoon left in the freezer for some time to make my dram cooler to see the cloud ^__^. Hopefully, the taste won't change much. Thanks so much for the knowledge!

    • @TheMeasureOfWhisky-zu1di

      Try Cask strength and if needed, a couple of drops of water. That should help the aromas of the whisky push through the high ethanol content.

    It IS a preference thing, but I generally agree with you. Try putting some ice in a laphroaig 10 though, it's already watered down anyway, might as well give it a kick in a different direction, and it's quite a nice summer drink

  • @ytbenny1964
    @ytbenny1964 5 місяців тому

    I see where you are going with this particularly once you ruled out blends. However, perhaps a gentler approach would be to start with it neat and if dissatisfied modify your dram as need be. I can think of a few single malts that left me with no choice “B---more 12”. I’m enjoying your channel. Thanks

    The best whisk(e)y is the whisk(e)y you like, the way you like to drink it. Although I will say, if you're going to do ice, go the extra mile and use large form 2"x2" ice so that you have minimal dilution of your spirit and so that the ice doesn't impact the flavor of the whisk(e)y too badly. Freezer ice can give it some funky flavors in my experience.

I appreciate the tradition that Springbank and some others uphold for sure, but I would say for me personally the more important factor that I believe makes a greater impact to my whisky over floor malting is being non-chill-filtered and presented at a higher ABV. I'd say it would be hard to pick the difference between floor malting vs not floor malted in a blind tasting. Subscribed 🥃
