When Horst finishes the glass you know shit gets serious
love your expression when you taste the good stuff. Your expression speaks louder than words! Now if I can afford this...
You forgot to say "where fine spirits meet." The intro threw me off. Great review.
Just want to commend you guys on the quality of the audio. You can hear so much detail, it’s very enjoyable. Cheers 🥃
Once in a while Horst gets a little spellbound! I probably would be with a 30 year age statement too...
Love your reviews
Very interesting! Thanks for reviewing that!
I had this once on my birthday. Amazing. My girlfriend thought i was insane with all the noises i was making
I'm not legally old enough to drink, but watching you do it is just so satisfying 😂
Ye he makes it look like drinking whisky is delicious as can be, till you actually taste it and that strong punch of alcohol hits u in the mouth and u forget that there's actually different flavor's and aromas.
You just have to look past that alcohol ;)
Hope now you are legal to drink this whisky :)
Seriously considering buying this one right now. The crazy price is holding me back but I am close to giving in... Already have the 25yo which is extremely good too :)
In Canada (Toronto, ON), this now sells for $2000CAD
Just bought a bottle of this 2007(48,1%) version for christmas. Was a little bit more expensive than ”300-400 euros, dollars, pounds what ever” but can’t wait to try out those red juicy oranges. Nice to find this older version still on the shelves of government alcholol monopoly at lower than market price.
I can only imagine what it would be like to get my hands on that bottle!!
Love these videos...thanks very much Horst. If I can ask, i have a question. Would it be considered bad etiquette to pour such a whiskey over ice? I enjoy my scotch the rocks, but would it be a no no to pour the expensive stuff that way?
Horst knows his stuff, on whisky.
Lucky you
I have the same bottle but I’ve not opened it yet. Just waiting for some special reason.
Have you opened it yet? Don't wait too long, none of us know how much time we are given. Why not try it if you are not trying to sell it for profit.
I have one arriving soon and will probably open it as soon as I have a nice relaxed evening at home.
@@TheRealCoyote Has he opened it yet!?!!
Mmmm.... some gargling sounds... and again Mmmmm.... You always want to open my bottles sir. Always very good review
Horst looking like a kid at Christmas!
can u review the bourbon 1835
ooh Leuning Horst Leuning really likes this one!
this pall loves good whiskey
Hey Horst, what do you think would happen if each cask were store as normal, in a warehouse, but instead, a machine/robot flipped the cask in all directions multiple times per day and perhaps maybe even gentle shook the cask? Do you think this would make. The whisky mature more rapidly? I would love to hear your opinion. Thanks!!!
From what I am told and what I have read adding a drop or two of water is scientific and has to do with a chemical reaction and nothing to do with what alcohol content the Scotch has. Apparently when you add a drop of water, and they do mean a drop or two, like from an eye dropper, it breaks the surface tension of the whisky and causes a chemical reaction between the two which brings the aromas out of it better than just spinning it in a glass because it causes some kind of warming effect or something.
I know very little about it, it is just what I have read and heard.
899 in tx as of dec 2016. Very supprised to even find it.
so then grab it with both hands!
I love your reviews Horst! I am debating between HP 25 or 30. If you could have only one, which would it be?
Horst doesn’t answer questions on his UA-cam channel anymore. However I’d say that it’s entirely down to your budget, both are fantastic however the 30 yr is noticeably better but much more expensive...
Costs 1300€ here in Finland
Any plans for the rest of that bottle, Herr Luening?
Interesting that he holds 30 year old in such high regard against the 25. I have tried both several times and everytime liked the 25 more. Don't get me wrong, they are extremely good whiskies. Very similar in caracter, but in my opinion the 30 has just a bit too much of the cask taking over. And the fact that it is lower in abv makes it more obvious. So for me 18 is great, 21 is even better, and 25 is the best. 30 is second best. Interestingly I recently had a chance to try 30 year old from 1973 and was expecting to get blown away as everybody always claims the old ones were better...guess what? New 30 year old is better. Had a chance to try 40 year old also, but must admit I did not like the price so never tried it.
Remember this is just my point of view, what do I know, I'm just an amateur. Still my opinion though.
Time flies and palate changes as you train and expose it to new experiences: I now think the 30 year old is fantastic. I love the 25, but the 30 is just as good, maybe better. It is just different, more demanding, and unfortunately more expensive.
Would like to try this one however here in the UK you cannot find this bottle for less than £700-£800 which is beyond justification unfortunately.
Oh my goodness! 700£?? Get 3 or 4 bottles of Glendronach 21 Parliament instead! 😉
In Finland it's currently 1320€...
this sound delicious! Now just to get a bottle for good price ( Mission impossible )
Good luck.
@@Whiskycom as of 2021 , it’s about $1000 US
It's a treasure
Can't believe I drank mine....bought it for £250 and now it's selling for over £1,000 online 😣😢
Hope you enjoyed the bottle.
It's not about the money
Whisky is for drinking, mate! Cheers!
Lucky you, see how much money you saved...
Do you buy your bottles or the company send it to you?
Think he has a whisky store in Germany.
Honest I don't have a drink problem 😆
Mr. Horst Leuning is my, personal, father figure. My real father never drinks. I do, but not too much ;-)
something so alluring about you
lol in 2019 its over 630€.. wow
Today this costs 1306€ in Finland. Thank you Edrington Finland!
Ordered from London (The whisky world) for 700€. They ship it to finland for about 20€. Waiting eagerly for the delivery. :)
@@miiOKki Was it this older 48,1% version as reviewed here or the newer 45,7%?
Luck you
What does he mean "chocolate on the back"? The aftertaste?
Back ground (i think)
I'm almost certain you're right, the aftertaste.
"Oranges Oranges Oranges"
Me:Gazoline Gazoline Galozine
Highland Park mouthwash :)
+Seppe Sai i dont know why but i like that sound :)
No living bacteria there....
For millionaires 😂
Horst must be a "supertaster". I, unfortunately, am not.
Has Horst ever had a very negative opinion of a whisky in one of these reviews?
when i hear his accent ,Am assuming jack sparrow
istillery manager Russell Anderson
NOOOOO DONT open it!!!! damn he opened it..............
What else should he do with it? Look at it? Whisky is made to be drink.
How else would he have reviewed it?
just found that for $2000 a bottle in australia. heilige Scheiße!!
Blood oath bourbon Kentucky straight
And is he drinking whisky or mouth wash 😂😂😂
Please grow a set of balls and appreciate that its part of the experience. He is more expressive with the sounds.
Just shit they make this up what he can smell he is not a dog 😂😂 just tastes strong that's it
You wouldn't say the same if you tried some.
Muahthai&bjj stay uncultured. It suits you.
6 years later and that is still one of the dumbest comments I've ever read
