    I love my infinity bottle. There have been times that it has fallen flat, and other times when it is super complex and amazing. But I don't keep an infinity bottle to try and make a cool blend before stopping, I keep a bottle so that I will always have a little bit of some of my favorite whiskeys from over the years. When I open a new bottle of something that I love, I put some of it in my infinity bottle right away instead of waiting until the bottle is almost killed off and the air has had a chance to change it. So for me, it is going to be an ever evolving trip through the best bottles I have ever owned.

      That's pretty much what I've been doing with my first infinity bottle. I started out with a general plan for what I wanted to do, but that quickly fell to ruin. I now just refer to the bottle as my 'Chaos Blend', adding in a couple ounces of most bottles I try. Like yours it has fallen flat on occasion (a couple different Jameson Caskmates were the culprits, oddly enough), but after a couple additions from new purchases it came right back. It's just a hair over 1/2 full right now and I honestly can't remember what all went into it, so the rare occasion I pour myself an ounce to sample, it's always a new experience and I'm constantly finding new things in it.

    My infinity bottle is a 375 woodford bottle that I keep in my golf bag. Whenever anyone I'm playing with makes a birdie, my friends and I have a tradition where we all take a little pull of whisky. Every time I'm about to go play, I make sure the bottle is sufficiently full by topping it off with whatever I have on hand, so at any given time it will probably be a blend of a handful of different things.

    • Elijah Craig
    • Woodford
    • Monkey Shoulder
    • Proper

    On reviews: I share Daniel's affinity for Islay scotches, so if he really likes something, pretty sure I will too. I also watch Ralfy for a more general quality to look for in a whisk(e)y.

    Daniel and Rex's O-faces in the thumbnail and throughout this episode is kinda disturbing. Lol
    PS...if I ever get to a point where my Infinity Bottle is amazing, I would stop and start a new one making sure to put in a generous pour of the previous Infinity Bottle. That way the "line" is not broken.

    When I went to buy my first bottle of Scotch a couple of years ago, I browsed around a bit until I came to the Talisker bottles. I remembered Daniel saying several times how much he liked their whiskeys, so ended getting a bottle of Talisker Storm. I did not regret the purchase one bit.

    I don't really tend to buy too many crazy things out there, so I guess I don't have that same thought process of "I gotta conserve" Tullamore Dew, Glenlivet, etc are all gonna be easy to get. I do need to get my infinity bottle back up and rolling and keep better notes this time. Though I liked what I did last year better. Instead of just a random blend, I took a little bit of all new things I tried and added them to a 375 ml bottle. Now I made them Bourbon/American whiskey, Irish, and Scotch. Then, I shared them with friends at the end of the year so they could see what my journey was like. Each one I tried to get filled by October so it could marry a bit and I was glad I did. The Scotch one was the only one behind and the Laphroaig and Ardbeg just overtook it anyways. It was only a half bottle lol.
    Oh. The only one I did ration for a long while was my Compass Box Oak Cross. I was sad cause the box got tossed out too. Was such a nice box and bottle. Was an amazing little blended Scotch, mostly felt like Speyside, then finished in American and French oak barrels. Just sweet, clove, vanilla...was AMAZING with cheeses like Havarti and Muenster,

    There is a bar here with thousands of whiskies from around the world. I watch reviews like yours, find the flavour notes and if it sounds like things i like i will go to the bar and try a sample of it. if it's good I buy a bottle.

  • @dmshampton
    @dmshampton 4 роки тому

    I definitely agree with you, Daniel. I usually go into a whisky based on curiosity alone, and I often drink a whole dram alone before watching reviews on them. I like to see how my palate compares to yours, Ralfy, Horst, Roy etc.. Its only after I've taken my own notes that I allow other reviewers to chime in.

    If you guys like that, then I’ve got a great English-distilled whisky for you. It’s about 20 min from where I live while I’m stationed here in the UK and they just released a rum cask finished cask strength that is just exquisite. Will try to bring some back to Austin for ya when I come back to the states.

    I come to Soumagne in Belgium, somewhere on earth :)
    I just find No Name one and two this week, my question here is, do i have to taste the No Name 2 first, if i taste 4 or 5 other whisky in the same hour ?
    I m searching to learn all about whisky.
    Im a peat lover and i hear that not the best way to practice my whisky education.
    What are you thinking about that ?
    Excuse my bad english, i speak french first.
    I love your vidéo its always a pleasure to see it

    I actually just finished an infinity bottle after slowly adding to it over the last eight months or so. It tasted good, but was’t mind-blowing or anything. I took an ounce from all the whiskies I bought (except peaty/smoky whiskies) and poured it in. I think the rule I’m setting for myself is to continually add to it like I have been, and to never let it go below half full. I don’t think any blends that I make from this could be calculated and replicated after this point, but I’m honestly just excited to see how it changes in flavor and complexity and density from here on out :)

    I did that with my infinity bottle. I drink bourbon. It was 2/3 full and I tasted it and it had a slight mint taste to it that caught me out of nowhere. I ended up drinking it instead of putting more in. I still have no idea where the mint came from but it was delicious.

    What does the tribe think I should try next as someone that prefers Laphroaig to Ardbeg? Ardbeg is great but a bit too sweet for me while Laphroaig is magical. I'm thinking Coal Isla from the descriptions. And don't say Lagavulin. I've tried it and it's amazing but out of my price range.

    Whenever I try a new whiskey I always look for a video you guys have done to try it with you guys! Also referring to the infinity bottle what if when you get to sweet spot of the bottle then make another one exactly the same to mix with the first? Would the taste stay the same a bit or would it change significantly?

  • @bitterandjaded_
    @bitterandjaded_ 4 роки тому

    When my bottles get to that last quarter or so they don't get put away. I leave them out on the table and have at least a little pour every time I drink. Sometimes I only drink from that bottle just to finish it off. It doesn't matter if it was a bottle I loved or learned to appreciate. Maybe I need to find other sources of accomplishment in my life.

    A better idea is to create a tribe infinity bottle starting off point. From there the bastards push their infinity bottles in their own directions and at a bastards ball in the future host a infinity bottle competition. The winner of that competition has their name on a buyable blended whiskey. (empty bottle with a recipe or lower volume additions with a shopping list.)
    This line could be called the "bastards blessing of name".

    Not really a blend, but 80% glenmorangie original + 20% caol ila 12 makes for a great mix that somehow reminds me of a chocolate orange.
