I'm too cheap to buy that calendar. I'll just have to live vicariously through Daniel.
I'm really glad you're here.
I am a nerd, I am a nerd!! 🙋♂️ I had a custom Glencarin engraved for this, with the Jameson logo. I’m so pumped to do this this year!! I didn’t do this one blind because I peeked at day one, before you suggested doing it blind. I’ll do blind tomorrow. I thought I was finding butterscotch on the nose after getting through the smoke. Definitely no ash, lots of brine. I found apple on the initial palette. Lots of pepper on the finish. See y’all tomorrow!
"Not great for UA-cam algorithms but better for the experience. " Gotta love that.
The Talisker Special Release 2023 is part of the thing Diageo does with their various Scotch brands every year. That particular one was called "The Wild Explorador." I had it, it's VERY good. The one they did for Talisker for 2024 is called the "Spirited Xchange Second Edition," an 8 year scotch, but I haven't seen that one.
Fantastic way to start off the calendar Daniel. Love going in blind - I was split between Talisker and Highland Park and went Talisker. Turns out I have the 2023 special edition.... btw I wouldn't change a thing with how you shot this - I like that you had a real experience without having your phone to then follow up on. Keep it up...on to day 2.
Got me hooked on this first episode
Oh Yeaaahhhh!!!!! ❤ I had it pegged for Talisker upon it being a Islay/Highland hybrid. Te Bheag is a good budget option, my local lcbo gouges Talisker
Great nerd-out to wake up to.
I love how you said we're all nerds. I literally was talking about scotch at the liquor store and the lady was like how do you know so much about scotch and whiskey. My answer was I'm just a whisky nerd. 😂😂
I ended up getting a whiskey advent calendar from Costco and the first day’s sampling was Black Whiskey from Peru. Aged not less than 3 years and it’s a delicious corn whiskey.
The one that looks like books!? 📚
@ yep!
I thought it was a Speyside but of course Daniel nails it. Bravo Sir. Much love.
Thank you merry christmas🥃🥃🎅
Nice one for the 1st day
From your notes I was thinking Western isles but I was waiting to hear “black pepper” before guessing Talisker. So I was thinking either Ardnamurchan or Torabhaig.
I really wish they'd shipped to Sweden... It would've been fun to do this along with the videos!
I've always loved your advent calendar videos, but that fact that this was blind and we could see your wheels turning was a really fun twist on things!
I love being a whiskey nerd 🥃
Love this!
Thanks for the video 🥃
Based on you previously talking about advent calendars I bought the Master of Malt calendar for me, my daughter and her husband, We are learning and when I poured the first one into a glass, we immediately smelled the smoke. I had previous experience with Talisker when I was on Headbangers Boat, so I was familiar with it. We thought it was OK. Looking forward to your thoughts on the rest of the whiskeys in the calendar.
Daniel you are da man! Are they still saying that any more? Loved it. Next!
Good job, Maestro SOMM !
Awesome guess for day 1! First time Im going through an advent calendar and Im cheating by looking at labels, but found it funny how close your notes were to mine. Only one I thought of you didnt mention was saltwater taffy which was strong with this one for me. Cheers!
I was certain it was a talisker, fun fact i was about to buy a 10 year old but went for ardbeg 10 and port charlotte, havent had those but so far talisker is my personal smoke favorite
I think the port accentuates the peat.
At 150 dollars (or more) plus shipping, Advent Calendars are expensive. Maybe i'll save up for next year's calendar, but there is also the issue of them NOT shipping to Romania so ... 🙃
Daniel: Have you seen Phil's (First Phil) Whiskey Aroma Flavor Tree? Do you have any thoughts on it versus the more traditional wheels?
I have shortly. Not in depth. But first reaction is that it looks absolutely beautiful. I'll take a further look later though.
😁🙌🏻🥃
I think this is great!
I will say however that your lavalier mic was picking up your chain quite a bit whenever you moved, and it was a bit distracting.
That's going to keep happening for another 15 :)
Is there a trick to learning to trust your notes as they pop up in your head? I’m always nervous about trusting my tasting notes but you are great at just announcing then backtracking, reassessing, etc.
Entirely repetition
You never really said what you thought of the 2023! It underperformed in my market, too expensive.
That 200ml bottle of Lark you tried years ago would be worth $70-80 a normal 700ml bottle is $160 Australian it's pathetic how much we get taxed here! A bottle of Archie Rose Single Malt which is the best Christmas Single Malt whiskey in the world is $120 for a 700ml definitely check it out
Would you believe if your in the UK you can pick up the Talisker Explorador Special right now on Amazo ( yep cheers Jeff) for £50 about $64 someone did a good deal & I hope he gets a bonus.
Do you have a link on where to find/get that tasting chart?

Dang it, I followed and bought the advent calendar from the link in your last video about it and I ended up buying a different version of the premium advent calendar 😢
I had to track that down too. It looks like there are two versions that are named exactly the same thing, but I can't figure out what the difference between them was.
@WhiskeyVault so they actually have completely different whiskies I've discovered, bar a couple which overlap across them. I'm still going in blind but my missus has been researching and apparently they are actually very different in their content annoyingly.
Talisker Diageo Special Release?
The NAS Port matured
I'm sure that Daniel has reviewed this before and enjoyed it. Love the new advent calendar format, longer and much more interesting.
I had a friend who wanted to buy me the Flaviar advent calendar for the holidays, but I didn't feel right having someone spend that kind of money on me, so I told them not to.

oh there are some empty spots on the wall under the play button
