Don’t know if you will read this Jeremy. You lost a viewer today as my dad passed from Covid. He was 59. We would watch your videos and talk about them. Thanks for providing me happy memory.
Bourbon is perfectly nice, but Scotch has a depth and range that puts in on a whole different level. I love bourbon because it was my gateway into Scotch.
I’m born, raised and lived in Scotland and recently started dating an American girl, we watched this video and it was a phenomenal intro to scotch for her! Great video!
I’m an old school scotch drinker for 40+ years and recently decided it was time to experience good bourbon. My “transition” drink is (was?) single pot still Irish whisky, specifically Red Breast 12. Listen to a few opinions and got 6 bottles of recommended KY bourbon. It’s been an interesting journey. Went to Bardstown and man if you’ve never stepped into a rickhouse you’re missing out on one of life’s great experiences. That 145° white dog straight out of the column is vicious. There are only 4-5 scotches I would recommend to newbies. Great insight.
I am a whisk(e)y guy through and through (I love gin, rum and tequila, but when asked "what's your drink", I automatically say "whisky"). Love it. Malt, blended, irish, bourbon, rye, you name it, I love it. It is simply an incredible human creation. But if I were forced to choose one whisky to drink for the rest of my life, it would have to be Scotch. Useless info of the day (or evening): One of my very favourites is Lagavulin. Great video. PS: Jeremy is right. It's "Eye-la". ;)
I just started watching your videos this morning and in the process I got called in to my work. After a rough day of work you inspired me to grab a bottle of bourbon before heading home. Great idea. It was the perfect way to help unwind from the day.
I asked my wife to get me a bottle of single malt while she was at the supermarket. She knows I like Glenfiddich or Glenlivet or my no.1 would be Talisker. She brought me Laphroaig. I've not drank Laphroaig for probably 25 years after overdosing . It brought back some memories I'd obviously chosen to forget. I totally sympathise with tyre 🔥 and mermaid bathwater. Its amazing how your taste changes over the years as I would have drank Laphroaig over coffee for breakfast when I was a youngster. I am Scottish and currently live in Scotland although will not waive anonymity if any Islay fans are reading this.....Go Islay.
I got Black Label as a gift 10 years ago and it is still in the back of the cabinet in case someone want's to try it, but I've not yet had a taker since my cabinet is well-stocked.
Love my Islays, particularly Ardbeg and Bruichladdich. A little too attached to them, actually. I have a hard time convincing myself to try other whiskies.
What a fantastic video on scotch! I got into that about a year ago but, haven’t really expanded at all. This was really an eye-opener and having an unbiased second opinion was huge. Well done guys!
Keep making videos with your lovely wife. She's a real sport! I damn near fell out of my chair in the whiskey video when she said, "I've never tasted wood..." I was a full second ahead of you! You two are delightful!
Treacle is on the description for Ardbeg Uigeadail. It's a thick and sticky dark syrup from refined sugar. It looks sorta like molasses, like the other comments said! Great video, always look forward to your videos!
I started off mostly enjoying bourbons with the mindset to try Scotch one day. Had the crazy idea to try Lagavulin 16 as my first one and almost wrote Scotch off completely. After another year I was gifted a Glenfiddich 12 year and fell in love and haven't gone back to Bourbon since.
This way more interesting with you and your wife together!!! Keep up the good work man! Also greetings from Sri Lanka. This type of culture is not at all there in my country. But I'm working myself towards this.
I am a whiskey drinker cigar smoker I appreciate your videos I actually bought your lighter I love it my wife's name is Tina I'm always saying patina patina patina
I managed to get on the Edinburgh whisky tour last year and what an eye opener it was, the depth and nuance of the different regions totally blew me away, prior to that I'd always either liked a whisky or pretended to. Unfortunately the border is closed to us English right now but should be open soon. Also I don't know if it's in your remit but the Irish have a fair history of Whisky and there's Manx spirit in between, not aged long enough to legally be called a whisky. As for Bourbon, it's never been a thing for me, we get Wild Turkey and Buffalo Trace, and the usual JD and JB but that's about all. Great video, thanks. And thanks also to the wife for making it so entertaining 👍
My wife enjoys it when Allison is in the videos. I’ve also been trying to get my wife into bourbon and scotch. Keep up your great content man! Love it!🍻🤘🏼
You got me in the first 30 sec! Totally agree with you, Scotch is a great change for the palette! That cut after: "Am I suppose to hold it in my mouth?" Great cut and so perfect in that context! Let's say, good thing I wasn't taking a sip at that time! Those names and those descriptions are very interesting. I got introduce this year to Islay scotch Laphroaig and Ardbegs. I really enjoy those, but you have to go check the Laphroaig website and check their description video. Hilarious! Laphroaig is not nice to the nose but the taste and after taste are very surprising after smelling it! Awesome video and interesting to see Alison's reactions.
As an American who was born in Scotland, I approve. I know you don’t get too hung up on pronunciations but Oban is more like O-bn (almost like bin) vs O-bahn. It’s about 70 miles from where I was born.
There's a scotch for every palette. Don't be afraid, go explore. Great video Alison and Jeremy. Definitely enjoy the new dynamic of your better half being involved my friend 😉
OMG... You guys have me LMAO! I have only had scotch one time about 20 years ago. After watching this I am definitely going to revisit it. Thanks for review and the laughs!
I with you Jeremy...I absolutely the Islay scotches...and agree with the sweetness from them. You should try the Port Charlotte if you haven't already...the most smoke I have ever experienced...cheers..!
So glad to see you doing these videos! I know that you we’re planning on doing them with BD EDC! I think that with your wife it has been a huuuuge success.... keep rocking brother!
You are correct, my Dads Scottish and its pronounce ( "I" La ) love show, my favorite whisky is Ardbeg 10yrs and Speyside is Tamnavulin double cask, both go great with a cigar or a pipe
My wife did not like Scotch or any Whisky for that matter; one day i gave her Lagavulin 16 and she loved it, now i have to hide my Islay's 🤦♂️ I should've Known better and never let her try in the first place 🤣 Actually I'm very happy that we now have one more thing in common that we get to enjoy together. Great episode 🥃 keep them coming. Cheers
I wrote all bourbon off. Because all I ever knew was Jim beam white label, Woodstock and Jack Daniels. But, a couple decades on, there's some good bourbons out there. Even in the down under market
Dude! Totally enjoyed the video! You two make a good pair on these presentations. I liked that it covered a good range of options without getting too detailed and down crazy rabbit holes. Please do more like this one!
Good stuff Jeremy. There's a reason why our wives are called our Better Halves. Can't remember the scotch I first tried but it was inexpensive. Beefeater maybe? I know I've just triggered the Scotch Snobs but whatever. The peat notes reminded me of a nice English pipe tobacco.
Don’t let yourself be limited indeed. There are some great whiskies all over the world. Some of my top tier whisky come from everywhere. Woodford reserve double oaked (US), hibiki Harmony (Japan) and Glenfiddich 18 are some of the whiskies I alway have in my cabinet.
Loving another video with Mrs Man Shit hanging out on the channel. You both rock and thanks for the great content. Keep up the great times guys. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼😎😎😎
When I was 20 I somehow got it into my head that I wanted to learn to drink scotch. I did a little research and drank a little every night for about 6 months. I told a guy what I was doing and he got me into Islay which I drank for another year. I kinda stopped for a while after that but I feel lucky I have an appreciation and love for scotch.
I know you are a coffee guy.... but being a bourbon fan, I am obligated to tell you to try Harney & Sons Black Cask Bourbon flavored black tea. I just got some today in the mail and thought it be a nice thing for you to keep for those whom you know who fancy tea.
Great to see Allison in the video. She needs to be in more. How about doing some Irish whiskey Awesome to see the bloopers at the end. Keep up the great work Jeremy
So there are a couple of Irish whiskies that you should try, if you haven't already; Teeling 25 or older and Middleton Very Rare 2017 or 2019. Of the Scotch whiskies my favorite is Octomore 10. It is funny when you mention the whiskey tribe guys. I have a buddy that was telling me about them, this was a while ago. He didn't realize, at first, that they there are here in Austin. They have a cool place just south of us. (Okay so Texas distances are a little skewed. It is more like a couple of hours.) Thanks Jeremy! 👍👍👍
This was a great episode. I think the club clap is the new sign off. Great to see Scotch getting explored here. There shouldn't be any segregation in spirits. The more you can taste and explore the better you are. A monthly Scotch video with you guys would be great. I'm close to singing up with the club. Prices with shipping are a little up there but they are one of a kind bottles that you can't get anywhere else. The code will definitely help. Thanks and thanks for the great content as always.
Delightful vid man! Timely, as it popped up just as I was enjoying my after dinner drink (Highland Park 12 tonight). I grew up in the south around bourbon drinkers too, but still I've always been more of a scotch guy until recently embracing bourbon in the past few years (Old Forester 1920 is my current go-to bourbon). Cheers!
Scotch is 👑 All bourbon has a similar flavor profile, sweet, that's why so many people prefer it over scotch, it's easier to drink......just my opinion.
Hey dude, I'd like to inform you that all SMWS bottles have codes on them which you can use to tell where they come from. That Gunsmoke over the Moor you thought came from Islay is actually from the southern parts of the Highlands. the bottle's code is 16.48 if I read correctly, which means it's SMWS' 48th single cask bottling of Glenturret (distillery code 16). just typing SMWS codes on google will give you a list! cheers!
Enjoyed the video, I use to love Glenfiddich scotch whiskey a relatively cheap single malt scotch whiskey. Scotch does varey greatly, finding one you really love can be difficult.
It's nearly 1am, but before you start I need to pour myself a 24 year old Glenfarclas Milroys Exclusive... Okay I'm ready you can start now... Oh wait I gotta push play. Favourite bourbons, Michters, EH Taylor (Small batch and single barrel), Wellers (who doesn't, right?) BuffaloTrace, Stagg Junior, Kings County. I'ma a Scotch guy. I like Bourbon, think Rye is better (I like the spicy), Pikesville, Angels Envy, Michters Toasted Barrel Straight Rye are my top three. But I've had whisky from England, Japan, Taiwan, India, Sweden, Switzerland, Norway, France, Ireland, Australia, Tasmania, Lebanon, China, Canada and plenty more (benefits of working in a whisky bar). I like to try from as many places as possible because they all have their own thing. Some are okay, some are bad, some are just terrible (france) and some are exceptional. I'll drink any whisk(e)y that's handed to me. Except Jack, I hate jack. Jan, 1982, I was 4. If you're looking for sea salty, briny whisky, TALISKER. My old boss, Eddie (taught me pretty much everything I know about whisky and cigars) used to say that 'It's that you don't like whisky, you've just never had the right one." But for me, nothing beats Scotch. Top five; Lagavulin, Longmorn, Springbank, Glenfarclas, I'm realising right now that there are so many I love...
I've recently started exploring scotch all thanks to you amigo. Still like Bourbon more, but definitely some real hitters in the scotch world. Macallan and Dalmore 12 *thumbs up* Know it's gonna be an awesome vid like always
I wish there were more videos like this. There's a bunch of scotch only or bourbon only people. To me that just means you're missing out on a lot of fantastic whisk(e)y. There are amazing bourbons, scotches, irish, rye and so on. I say at least try as much as you can.
Great vid, Jeremy! I'm with everyone else that says "More videos with Allison!" As to the treacle question... the American equivalent would be black strap molasses. So, think dark ,rich, and sweet.
The green label colors reflect peated, not just Islay btw. I've seen some in the past from SMWS from Campbeltown as green labeled too! Also, the long age ability for that climate isn't only climate driven (it is in the evaporation aspect of it), but also the spirit doesn't get overbearingly woody because most are not aged in new oak like bourbon has to be.
Don’t know if you will read this Jeremy. You lost a viewer today as my dad passed from Covid. He was 59. We would watch your videos and talk about them. Thanks for providing me happy memory.
Sorry for you Tom
Sorry for your loss 🙏🏾
Sorry man, my next glass is raised to your dad
Im sorry for your loss
a little late but I have a glass and a smoke in central FL if you need it... don't know wtf you are but I know when to share for a good reason
As a brewer, it's important to stand up for "drink what you love to drink."
For me, I'll happily take a Balvenie doublewood.
Sitting here, smoking a 20th anniversary perdomo maduro and watching a highly entertaining couple. Great Thursday night
Bourbon is perfectly nice, but Scotch has a depth and range that puts in on a whole different level. I love bourbon because it was my gateway into Scotch.
Scotch was my gateway into bourbon haha
Scotch is hand me down Bourbon.

Good to know, as I've never had Scotch, and only shit tons of Bourbon:)
I’m born, raised and lived in Scotland and recently started dating an American girl, we watched this video and it was a phenomenal intro to scotch for her! Great video!
Bourbon , scotch. Love em both!!
My heart skipped a beat every time you leaned behind to pick a bottle :). Great video!!
I distinctly recall my first Islay - mind BLOWN! That turned me into a scotch guy. Great episode, great teamwork, fun to watch!
Ardbeg is life!
@@mikeb9984 Laphroaig!!!!!!! Lol
Glenlivet 12 is a GREAT Scotch to start with. Easy to sip and easy to understand the notes that come with a Scotch.

love bourbon, absolutely love scotch. just don’t drink johnny walker red label
haha!
Red label is for cleaning your windows
Only JW in my collection is the black label for when my brother is visiting. 🤣🤣
I got Black Label as a gift 10 years ago and it is still in the back of the cabinet in case someone want's to try it, but I've not yet had a taker since my cabinet is well-stocked.
Had me dying the entire video with the office cut scenes 😂😂. Need more with you and your wife. The back and forth is perfect.
You guys were meant for each other and the nose hair waxed conversation had me rolling!

I second it.

@@JeremySiers do you have the website and a code
Laphroaig 10 year is still my all time favorite scotch. Ardeg 10 year is a very very close 2nd.
I didn't like Islays at first, but now they're my preference (and I love bourbon too). Best when paired with a good steak.
As a Scotsman, watching you pronounce brands in Speyside, is class xD

Love them both. That said, the profile range for each is like:
Bourbon: 1/100
Scotch: 1/1000
Love the SMWA! Signed up recently and that shit is nuts!

Such a great educational video about scotch and I enjoy your company a lot...you should keep this format going, Jeremy! This is the way!

These are awesome to watch. Thanks for all the content and new brands to explore!

Dude! Totally enjoyed the video! You two make a good pair on these presentations. I liked that it covered a good range of options without getting too detailed and down crazy rabbit holes. Please do more like this one!
Wow,,😂😂 I really enjoy your blog,, watching you and your wife drinking is encouraging 😂😂 I was getting buzz just watching 😂
Good stuff Jeremy. There's a reason why our wives are called our Better Halves. Can't remember the scotch I first tried but it was inexpensive. Beefeater maybe? I know I've just triggered the Scotch Snobs but whatever. The peat notes reminded me of a nice English pipe tobacco.
Don’t let yourself be limited indeed. There are some great whiskies all over the world. Some of my top tier whisky come from everywhere. Woodford reserve double oaked (US), hibiki Harmony (Japan) and Glenfiddich 18 are some of the whiskies I alway have in my cabinet.
Thanks for the video/information Jeremy (and Allison). Might have to try some Scotch. I'm new to bourbon lol
I love Scotch, however, whenever I am smoking a cigar Bourbon is the way to go IMHO.
Cheers

Bruichladdich was my gateway into finally enjoying scotch and especially Islay whiskey 🥃
*Whisky
I think to cover both Scottish and American groups we should just spell it whiski 😁
So there are a couple of Irish whiskies that you should try, if you haven't already; Teeling 25 or older and Middleton Very Rare 2017 or 2019. Of the Scotch whiskies my favorite is Octomore 10.
It is funny when you mention the whiskey tribe guys. I have a buddy that was telling me about them, this was a while ago. He didn't realize, at first, that they there are here in Austin. They have a cool place just south of us. (Okay so Texas distances are a little skewed. It is more like a couple of hours.) Thanks Jeremy! 👍👍👍
Glenmorangie Ruban Quinta 14 is my favorit, my first taste of it was 23 years ago, then it was Glenmorangie Port Wood Finnish 12 year old 👍
This was a great episode. I think the club clap is the new sign off. Great to see Scotch getting explored here. There shouldn't be any segregation in spirits. The more you can taste and explore the better you are. A monthly Scotch video with you guys would be great. I'm close to singing up with the club. Prices with shipping are a little up there but they are one of a kind bottles that you can't get anywhere else. The code will definitely help. Thanks and thanks for the great content as always.
Totally agree my man!
“ Tasted like band aids and iodine “. Sounds like an Islay whisky. It was the Islay whiskies that got from rum to scotch. Lovely stuff.
Great video like always and really good to see the misses in another one! keep it up and live that good life brother!
Great video and great team. Loved seeing your better half trying stuff even though she might not like it and finding a few she does.

Awesome video! Great topic and two cool personalities.
Dalmore 12 year is the best first scotch for bourbon people. Lagavulin Offerman. Smooth but a little peat.
Scotch is 👑 All bourbon has a similar flavor profile, sweet, that's why so many people prefer it over scotch, it's easier to drink......just my opinion.
When you're sniffing whisky(ey) you should keep your mouth open a little bit. It helps to dissipate the alcohol vapors.
Hey dude, I'd like to inform you that all SMWS bottles have codes on them which you can use to tell where they come from.
That Gunsmoke over the Moor you thought came from Islay is actually from the southern parts of the Highlands. the bottle's code is 16.48 if I read correctly, which means it's SMWS' 48th single cask bottling of Glenturret (distillery code 16). just typing SMWS codes on google will give you a list! cheers!
Hey brother good to see you Jeremy and Alison
Great video the Mrs watched this with me and now she wants try some whisky appreciate all you do. Slainte
Try Bunnahabhain you won’t regret it. Islay scotch without all the peat. Awesome.
Impossible not to pour myself a nice glass of irish whiskey whilst watching this video
Enjoyed the video, I use to love Glenfiddich scotch whiskey a relatively cheap single malt scotch whiskey. Scotch does varey greatly, finding one you really love can be difficult.

Favourite bourbons, Michters, EH Taylor (Small batch and single barrel), Wellers (who doesn't, right?) BuffaloTrace, Stagg Junior, Kings County.
I'ma a Scotch guy. I like Bourbon, think Rye is better (I like the spicy), Pikesville, Angels Envy, Michters Toasted Barrel Straight Rye are my top three. But I've had whisky from England, Japan, Taiwan, India, Sweden, Switzerland, Norway, France, Ireland, Australia, Tasmania, Lebanon, China, Canada and plenty more (benefits of working in a whisky bar). I like to try from as many places as possible because they all have their own thing. Some are okay, some are bad, some are just terrible (france) and some are exceptional. I'll drink any whisk(e)y that's handed to me. Except Jack, I hate jack.
Jan, 1982, I was 4.
If you're looking for sea salty, briny whisky, TALISKER.
My old boss, Eddie (taught me pretty much everything I know about whisky and cigars) used to say that 'It's that you don't like whisky, you've just never had the right one."
But for me, nothing beats Scotch. Top five; Lagavulin, Longmorn, Springbank, Glenfarclas, I'm realising right now that there are so many I love...
Great video. Very fun and entertaining. Could watch that even an hour, just saying. Cheers!
Like button smashed for Princess Bride reference. Well, for Allison, well for Scotch too. Ok all of it.....great job.
I've recently started exploring scotch all thanks to you amigo. Still like Bourbon more, but definitely some real hitters in the scotch world. Macallan and Dalmore 12 *thumbs up*
Know it's gonna be an awesome vid like always
Have been really enjoying some Bladnoch from the Lowlands lately. And some Arran 10 from the "unofficial" Island region.
Well done you two. Keep it up !
I wish there were more videos like this. There's a bunch of scotch only or bourbon only people. To me that just means you're missing out on a lot of fantastic whisk(e)y. There are amazing bourbons, scotches, irish, rye and so on. I say at least try as much as you can.
Love seeing the banter and love you both have with and for each other 🙏
Calvin my brotha!!! Always good to hear from ya my man. Glad you’re enjoying the vids. 😉👍🏻
@@JeremySiers you're a natural together ❤
Higly recommend Lagavulin Distillers edition....just a teaspoon of water mind!
SMWS tasting notes/descriptions are crazy....but super tasty.
Great vid, Jeremy! I'm with everyone else that says "More videos with Allison!" As to the treacle question... the American equivalent would be black strap molasses. So, think dark ,rich, and sweet.
Thanks for the love, brother.
Great video Jeremy, super informative!
The green label colors reflect peated, not just Islay btw. I've seen some in the past from SMWS from Campbeltown as green labeled too!
Also, the long age ability for that climate isn't only climate driven (it is in the evaporation aspect of it), but also the spirit doesn't get overbearingly woody because most are not aged in new oak like bourbon has to be.
