I've started working in an Irish Pub a few months ago with no knowledge of the whisky world whatsoever, and that gets me in trouble sometimes...you're saving my life!
Single malt whisky is malt whisky from a single distillery. Single malts are typically associated with single malt Scotch, though they are also produced in various other countries.
I’ve enjoyed whiskey for a long time but never understood it very well. I recently was gifted a bottle of Monkey Shoulder from my brother in law and he told me “this is a nice bottle” which got me curious as to the intricacies of my favorite boozy beverage. As I sip on some currently I found your video. Well done! And I am really enjoying this Monkey Shoulder! Thanks for the video, cheers 🥃
Thanks so much, means a lot coming from you! I don't have the wealth of knowledge of whisky like you or Ralfy, but I am seeing more and more people getting into whisky (lots of under 30s too) - so hopefully this can be how I can contribute to this community with my background in video, and passion for whisky. I hope to make basic short videos that people can share with their friends and launch them into a fun and exciting journey with whisky.
Your channel is a great addition to my whisky knowledge, thanks for that. I often watch and learn from polish "Tomasz Miler" - he knows a lot of whisky world and I also love to see whats new in american bourbons in SLB basement bourbon bar :)
No comparison, single malt whisky scotch in particular is so pleasing to the nose, exquisitely refreshing to the palate and heavenly smooth to the mind.
I can see this channel going far, you’re a natural and pace the education well. There’s so much to get into so I’m sure you’re not in need of inspiration but I recently heard a BBC Radio 4 doc which touched on the story of Masataka Taketsuru (bringing whiskey to Japan, marrying his landladies daughter and her basically being the mother of Japanese whisky, the founding of the Suntory and Nikka distilleries). It’s fascinating but there’s not much info out there and I can’t see a biography about him or anything. Obviously there’s tons of history with whisky but I feel the founding of Japanese is recent enough to have decent facts rather than the folklore of Scotttish/Irish. Just a thought - I’m sure you’ve got loads of ideas to get through. Didn’t a NZ whiskey win a world best recently? *Edit* just thought: same whisky from different glasses, different experience? I spent years drinking only from Glencairn thinking it was the “proper” way to do it but now feel that once I know a whisky I actually enjoy it from a wider glass as the nose is less intense. I’ve seen a lot of reviews with pictures of Norlan glasses recently which look great, just got a set and they claim to give a different tasting experience. Used to love ice, now I avoid it for malts but prefer it with bourbon. Obviously everyone’s approach is different so it’s finding the right way for yourself.
Thanks Jim for dropping by and for taking the time to write your generous comment! That is a really good idea and would make for a great video to look into! Yeah, Thompson Whisky (NZ) won a few awards - really good whisky. They are still young though, but when they release an aged statement whisky - I think it will be unreal. That's a great point about glasses. I'm the same. No ice for malts, but I still have Jameson, lime and ginger ale all the time. Especially right now in NZ, when's it really hot during the day, and it's a good alternative to cold beer. All about time and place I think!
A lot of beautiful pictures from isle of islay i have been there with my girlfriend. you helped me to remember a few details. Great easy video. great regards from germany!
Thanks so much, means a lot coming from you guys and thanks for all your generosity on this platform! It's a lot of work and I really respect you for it. It's great to all be on this whisky journey together across the world!
great video!! we started a new category, mexican whiskey made from native corn, different than malts or american whiskey we are producing whiskeys made from corn (we have 60 native races in mexico and more than half are in Oaxaca where we produce it) now its slowly becoming a trend however mexican whiskey differentiation is the native corn
I just started to appreciate a good single malt and this was very helpful. Wish you would of explained peated, which seems to have a nice smokey flavor, that I prefer. I'll keep watching. 👂👀👍
Nice vid guys...As a Scot have you heard the term 'Angels Share' ? as evaporation from the barrel during distilling happens this is called 'the angels Share' just another wee nugget of info from the best wee country in the world 👌🏼🏴
Interesting ..may be if you could do a comparison between Single Malt Scotch's & JD (my 2 favs) that I love to have in their original forms. I know it seems like a too much of an ask, but may be others would like it too. love from India 🌺

So so helpful as a newbie...
Glad it was helpful Neil!
Well done, keep it up 👍👍👍
Fantastic video ... way to break it down ... finally feel like I got a handle on it.
That's awesome! Glad it helped!
@@FirstPhilWhisky and there are not multiple places where they make the same single malts?
That balvenie 12 doublewood is amazing.
very easy to understand video , english is not my first language but he made it easy
That’s great! Thanks for watching
Finally, quality data, perfect video 👍
Thank you! 👍
Great vid Phil.
Cheers Frank! 👍🥃
After experimenting with whiskeys, bourbons and scotches for the past couple of months, I definitely like single malts the best so far.
Yeah me too. The only time I prefer a bourbon is when I make an old fashioned. But it’s hard to beat a Single Malt when drinking it neat.
Very important video ❤️
Thanks! 🙌🏻
Nicely done mate. Gave you a like and subscribed.
Thanks so much!
Whiskey Vault sent me. Loved your name, very smart naming. 😂
Good to have you here!
Muchas gracias por la información, you rock mate🤘🤘🤘

Damn this is polished. Good work!
Thanks! Really appreciate that, especially from you!
@@FirstPhilWhisky dude, I'm a scrappy dog in comparison to this quality. Also, LOVE the channel name
I just started to appreciate a good single malt and this was very helpful. Wish you would of explained peated, which seems to have a nice smokey flavor, that I prefer. I'll keep watching. 👂👀👍
Thank you! Have a watch of my smoky whisky explained video
I like that you use the whiskey lut for your color grading
😂 I didn’t know what I was doing back then
Nice vid guys...As a Scot have you heard the term 'Angels Share' ? as evaporation from the barrel during distilling happens this is called 'the angels Share' just another wee nugget of info from the best wee country in the world 👌🏼🏴
Interesting ..may be if you could do a comparison between Single Malt Scotch's & JD (my 2 favs) that I love to have in their original forms. I know it seems like a too much of an ask, but may be others would like it too. love from India 🌺
Awesome video my friend. Just subbed!
Thanks! Enjoying your videos too!
Can’t wait mate. If you do an in depth tasting vid, can you let us know what you will be trying. I wouldn’t mind drinking along.
That's not a bad idea Morgan!
Great video, now I know what I am drinking!
Awesome! Enjoy!
Thanks for the video
