This was my grandma’s favorite whiskey. She had at least one glass of scotch everyday (usually more) and this was what was in her cabinet when she passed. We went to her favorite bar after the service and the served us all a pour of Cutty Sark on the rocks because that’s how she like it. I thought it was terrible, but after getting into whiskey, and watching your review, I might just go pick up a bottle and try it neat. Thanks you guys! I’ve learned a shit ton from you. Cheers!
I like the review of the “bottom shelf” bottles. There’s a reason that they became dominant - and the stories are interesting. Let’s see reviews of the “basic” brands - how did they get so big, and what’s good about them?
I thought the reason they became dominant is that they're cheaper so more affordable to most people. Obviously not that they're better than top shelf aged versions. You say it like bottom shelf is better than top shelf lol
Daniel, I have a question on smelling whisk(e)y. When visiting Scotland this summer, I toured the Glenfiddich distillery, where during our tasting, the tour guide told us to blow into the Glencairn to move all of the pure alcohol vapors out of the glass, allowing us to really get in there and smell the intricacies of the whisk(e)y rather than just the alcohol vapor. If you could try this on an episode and let me know what you think, I think it could help a lot of the people who say they can't get past the alcohol on the nose!
This is for Rex A friend and I were on a boat drinking whisky. He pulled out some cigars but forgot to bring any matches or lighters. So I took one of the cigars and threw it overboard, and the whole boat became a cigar lighter. You're welcome.
my grandfather always seemed to have a bottle of cutty stashed away in a kitchen cabinet. my grandfather said on occasion, there's nothing wrong with drinking whisky, as long as you have a shot for medicinal purposes. he only took a shot for his arthritis. he lived to be 100, and always had a sharp mind
For New Years Eve, I did a Whisky trio. I started with MacAllan 12, then went to Auchentoshan 12, and finished with Ardbeg An Oa. By that point, I'd be ready for something to eat, which would reset my palate, and I'd start the rotation all over again. Talk about a good day!
My dad just gave me a bottle of cutty sark that is from the 70’s. I haven’t cracked it open yet because I was going to save it for a special occasion. But I did just buy a new pack of socks and that is pretty special......
I once went to a blind whisky tasting, and (what turned out to be) the Cutty Sark surprised everyone once it's identity was revealed. I think most of us would have considered it "swill" before that, but it earned some respect.
I'm pleasantly surprised this makes 2 days in a row where the whiskey being reviewed is actually a whiskey that I have heard of and can actually find in my local liquor superstore!
Greetings from sub-zero Valparaiso, IN! -3 degrees Fahrenheit. I am so happy that you started the year down here with the "peeples" on the Bottom Shelf. it is evident you hear our cries that Bottom Shelf Matters! It's were we spend the majority of our money while wishing we had access to the top shelf. Keep it Magnificent in '18! Bottom Shelf Matters! Ancient Ancient Age! Proost!
I inherited one of those clock parts framed art of The Cutty Sark, which was cool because I had visited the actual Cutty Sark when I was in London in 1988. Then, I recently acquired a cool illuminated Cutty Sark Bell Bar dodad, which looks good on my home bar table. So I had to go out and buy a bottle of Cutty Sark whiskey. I don't drink a lot, but I love the art of all. And being a history buff, I really enjoyed learning about the label. Now, Ilm complete! Thank you!
I enjoy watching these reviews at 0.5x speed; it makes Rex and Daniel seem so much drunker than they are. Or, perhaps, they speed their videos up 2x before uploading and that whole 'we don't actually drink that much when filming' thing is misdirection...
OMG! I was going to comment today to ask you to review cutty sark 12 and I open your channel and tada.. Edit.. this has been mentioned a lot in Murakami's novels.. I remember 1Q84 from the top of my head..
Hey great channel just found it before Christmas and have been binging heavy and learning a lot. I just found a bottle of yellow spot and grabbed it and was wondering if you plan on doing a episode on it (great whiskey)
Try the Cutty Sark Prohibition Edition if you haven't already. It was done as a salute to Capt. McCoy and I was pleasantly surprised by it. I'm usually not one to buy cheap blends but I found it marked down to $7 at a grocery store so I picked it up. No regrets either.
When I was at the liquor store the other day, I noticed this whisky. I picked it up for just a moment, but put it back because I didn't know anything about it. But if the patron saint of whisky recommends it, I will pick it up.
Haha, yes sir! It's actually pretty nice. Nothing to really brag about either, but it's good for a cheap blend. Prob not a go-to sipping whisky but works well in cocktails. It's bottled at 50% ABV too which is nice.
Since I'm fairly new to the scotch game, maybe you can tell me if it will align with my tastes. So far, I've tried Monkey Shoulder, Glenlivet 12, Aberlour 12, Glengoyne 10, Great King Street, and Naked Grouse. The frontrunners for my favorite are the Great King Street and the Glengoyne 10.
IMHO CS Prohibition is very well made but tastes more like a grain whisky. Toffee, etc. It's not quite "like" a single malt, nor like a cheap mixing blend.
The Lagavulin comment story made me think of my buddy coming over last night. He saw my Stranahan's on the counter and since he used to live in Denver and drove past the distillery all the time, he wanted try it. I poured him some and, since it was a cold night, poured myself some Laphroaig 10 Cask Strength. He was standing over five feet away and caught of whiff of my glass. He said "holy shit man what are you drinking??" I told him to take a sniff of it and held out my Glencairn. You would have thought he was a 13 year old trying a cigarette for the first time! Coughing, gagging, choking, literally backpedaled away from me! He finished his Stranahan's a while later and I forced him to take a sip of mine. Pretty sure he hated it with a passion; eyes watering he just said "oh man it just keeps going and going I think I need some water!" Fun times guys, fun times.
cold? I had a glass of achentoshan 12 and a cigar outside when it was -5F (Upper Michigan) You are inside and in Texas. Love the videos! Keep them coming.
Happy 2018 Guys and thanks for reading the comment! I’ll try Caol Ila and Laphroaig very soon. The scoff alone makes me want to try the Brimstone as well. Thanks again and keep up the great channel.
Hello whishky vault .. right now.. drinking CS in INDIA.. feels like fruity and over the top.. Great VFM.. Highly appreciated for Indian Market ... GOR FOR IT GUYS. WILL GONNA LOVE IT..
Cold ? It's 6 here in Illinois. Here's a question . Is there such a thing as whiskey or bourbon that go well in winter ? Likewise are there those that are good in summer ? Or it really doesn't matter . Interested on hearing your thoughts or opinions. Thanks
I'm drinking Cutty Sark as we speak, no mixes, just raw. 2 shots down and it starts to kick in, very fast kick I must say. beautiful. taste? yes I drank better ones, but it has quite interesting blend of oak in it. if I didn't know the price, I would have rated it much higher. it also has a proper whiskey aftertaste. I have to say, it is well worth it if you are planning to get high and engage in some nice activities afterwards. where I live = in tropics, this seems like a very good deal if you intend to get creative and active. enough said
I wish they had black bottle at my local store.. I've been wanting to buy it since the time you did the episode of comparing black bottle with JW double black 🙁
Came across your page not to long ago and I really enjoy it. Can you guys review "Virginia Black"? My sister wanted it for Christmas, Only because the musician Drake is part owner, I didn't get it Hahaha! Cheers.
Ok I hope this channel is still relevant. I'm :26 in, i've already liked and subbed. I LOVE the energy (and that wall to the left...) also, damn over 2 years old and only 10 dislikes? I'm hooked. future me here. saw video uploaded 6 days ago. FUCK YEAH
I'm wondering if you (Daniel) have watched the "Scotch Test Dummies"? They're pretty funny. One reason to watch is to pick up on some additional interesting ideas, whisky related. For example various whisky comparison ideas. Scotch Test Dummies is my favorite whisky review channel. I've learned quite a lot from your channel also. For example when I pour a dram from my collection, inspired by an early episode of yours I now will routinely pour a second dram and compare the two. More recently I'll try a favorite Scotch and also a Bourbon or other corn based whisky. The comparing of disparate tastes add to the experience. I'm going to write a note to the STDs mentioning your ideas on comparing two pours. I think that's great general information for all whisky lovers. By the way there's a benefit to the way Bart and Scott started their video and whisky hobby by declaring themselves to be "dummies" on the subject... beginners... This allows them to have fun with the subject, enjoy what they're doing, share whatever they think they know, yet not get hung up about imperfections. This kind of thing is freeing. Your thoughts?
Cutty Sark & Black Bottle from 80' were much better. Especially the Black Bottle. The recent releases are made to be more popular but they lost the big peat impact they used to have. Cutty Sark used to have much more character. I am glad there are still bottles around to taste the difference
Somehow, watching these videos has allowed Rex's mooching magnificence to rub off on me - last weekend I brought a bottle of Blanton's to a friend's house, and came away with pours from a George T. Stagg, a George Washington Premium Rye, and to top it all off, a Pappy 20. I think my conscience is getting the best of me and I want to bring another unique rye/bourbon, but lottery releases and thousands of dollars gray market purchases are out of play - would you please suggest a whisk(e)y that is generally available, but a bit off the beaten path to share? Also, if you are able, I'd suggest a video on the George Washington Rye - supposedly it is only available at his Mt. Vernon, VA home, and it is hand made using his original 1797 recipe, in the same gristmill he used himself. They did not age the drink then, so they do sell a "white dog" version, but also two aged versions, a 2 year and a 4 year. Seems like a great history topic for the channel. Love the videos, it has helped to expand my tasting vocabulary! - Ted
That GW Rye is pretty damn pricey, especially the aged stuff, and it's only a damn rye which both these 2 hate. If you send a bottle in though, it might make it.
Great work guys! Just a question I’ve only tasted scotch whisky. Some example bottles I currently have are laddie classic, Glenlivet 18. What are some good whiskys from different areas to start off with (America, Japan or Australian)
Try out our Top Ten most Recommended for beginners! We did it based on the most voted beginner whiskies from our community in the comments. It's a decent place to start when trying out new categories. dua-cam.com/video/PoeIPrIXUOw/v-deo.html
Hey Daniel and Rex, I've been a long time whiskey guy and just started watching your channel which is great! A lot of terms I didn't know which is good because I was always at a loss for a term for what I was tasting or smelling.. Question: Maybe I haven't gotten to them yet but have you done any reviews on any Japaneese whiskeys? Ie: Yamazaki or Suntori etc... I've been dying to get a hold of a bottle but never have enough money and wondered what you think before I start saving... Thanks and keep on keepin on..
Thank you J Z, Lagavulin 16 is amazing and even mine is running very low, thinking about getting the distiller edition as well as I've heard great things about it.
Hey, guys! I will admit that I'm not the biggest partaker of drinking alcohol. I find the bitter taste of it off putting. Well, at least I did until this last year. In 2017, I have started going to parties where I wanted to taste what my friends were. I have found that I like ciders and desert drinks, like port and sherry. Stuff that isn't bitter like beer. In December, for a white elephant present, I received/stole a gift containing a bottle of Jameson. Now, I have had Jameson before, but I would always get overwhelmed by, what I assume, is the taste of alcohol. I began to research online how to drink whisk(e)y and stumbled upon your channel through the Modern Rogue. Last week, I opened the said bottle of Jameson and shared it with my dad and brother-in-law. At first, I was overwhelmed by the taste of cleaner. However, as I fought past the taste, I started picking up another flavor! The flavor reminded me of an apple-tini that I had almost 12 years previous to now! I asked my brother-in-law if he could get it, and he did! Thank you guys for helping me get more interested in going to parties! You are both gods among men. Daniel the god of Nerdiness and Rex the god of Moochiness.
Hey, Daniel! I've got a question for you about the taste of Jameson. I'm getting overwhelmed with the alcohol taste, is this normal? I'm getting hints of stuff, but the flavors are really buried for me. Also, I'm thinking about trying Monkey shoulder next, but I'm slightly worried about spending $40 on something that tastes like alcohol. Will I get the same overwhelming bitter/burning alcohol taste in other whisk(e)ys, or can it be that the process Jameson goes through and that irish whiskeys aren't my thing? Thanks for your time!
Can someon alcohol wise answer my question? Does the sun, that is directly pointing at the bottles on the shelfs destroy the alcohol? Can it have some damaging effect? And how long can you keep an open bottle of red wine in fridge?
Gentlemen, what do you guys think about doing a entire brand or lineup of whisky for comparison on an episode? For example, try the different expressions of Ardbeg, or Balvenie and let us know your opinions based on the differences in taste and price point. I completely understand taste and price change based on where you live and your preferences, however, I feel it would help me to warrant spending the additional money for a different bottle if I know the difference. Stay Magnificent! And Happy New Year!
The company I work for has a 'Weekend of Chocolate' event every year around Valentines' Day, and this year one of the featured events is a whisky pairing with what sounded like an array of Compass Box whiskies. It's so hard to find Compass Box around me, so I'm keen to go, but will the pairing with chocolate distort the flavors I find in the whiskies? Also, it's $40 which sounds like a decent deal to me. Love to hear your thoughts and keep up the good work!
Definitely do it! And BTW, Toll Booth, good to see you again! Even with the chocolate, you'll still get to try a bunch of compass box, and that's awesome.
what other good Whiskey to drink i had Crown Royal & Jack Daniel's whiskey now im trying blended scotch whisky..... just dont know what one that has taste with light after burn in ur mouth ?
I am a bartender and in our well the scotch is Cutty Sark. You wouldn't believe how much griping we get, but it makes me laugh because most the time they are looking for Dewars or Johnny Walker. I don't know how you guys feel, but to me a lot of those lower tier blended scotch whiskeys are too close within range to care, but this is also coming from a guy who prefers Ardbeg.
Hey guys, love the videos and have been getting further into whiskey. i am currently on a family trip to Japan - turns out japan makes great tube socks... I have come to love the HAkaushu, and my new favorite Whisky "Nika from the Barrel" i just wanted to recommend you guys keep an eye out for this one, as at age 20 i can legally purchase socks here in japan, but cannot bring back any gifts. zi will look to earn my magnificence in the future, but till then i guess im just a bastard.
I picked up a bottle of Laphroiag Select the other day, and it is pretty light and entry level. How would you say it compares to Black Bottle? I am considering picking up some. Thanks!
Hey guys - JP from Sydney Aus - 2 questions - Do any of the Somm to be's bring an empty bottle and make their own infinity? Also im flying to the US this month but not going to be in Austin ( couple of hrs in Houston airport then Boston, Philly, Vegas and home.) Is there a way i can bring an Aussie whiskey with me and send it to you from within the US? My resolution for 2018 is to become an Magnificent Bastard! Love JP
I got a cool little Whiskey Bottle i know nothing about and maybe you two could shed some history on me. It is a mini bottle i can barley make the label out but it says "IMPORTED Canadian Club, Blended Canadian Whisky. Hiram Walker & Sons Limited" i have no clue how old this little brown glass bottle is but its still sealed and i guess ill keep it that way.
You magnificent bastards! Daniel/Rex can we get a whiskey collection layout video? Maybe better suited for a Cookie video.. (see what I did there?) Its seems aside from the wall of Whiskey and the chain locked cupboard, the others are all over the place. Whats going on?! Is everything segregated for a reason or is there no reason to your madnesses?! BTW Sipping on a Balcones Rumble as we speak and got to say, I'm not impressed. Have you guys tried it yet?
This was my grandma’s favorite whiskey. She had at least one glass of scotch everyday (usually more) and this was what was in her cabinet when she passed. We went to her favorite bar after the service and the served us all a pour of Cutty Sark on the rocks because that’s how she like it. I thought it was terrible, but after getting into whiskey, and watching your review, I might just go pick up a bottle and try it neat. Thanks you guys! I’ve learned a shit ton from you.
Cheers!
nice story if i may ask how old was grandma
I like the review of the “bottom shelf” bottles. There’s a reason that they became dominant - and the stories are interesting. Let’s see reviews of the “basic” brands - how did they get so big, and what’s good about them?
Very nice 👍 whisky really enjoyable..
I thought the reason they became dominant is that they're cheaper so more affordable to most people. Obviously not that they're better than top shelf aged versions. You say it like bottom shelf is better than top shelf lol

A friend and I were on a boat drinking whisky. He pulled out some cigars but forgot to bring any matches or lighters.
So I took one of the cigars and threw it overboard, and the whole boat became a cigar lighter.
You're welcome.
Oh god that one took a second. I'm dying right now :D
Got it on the 3rd read hahaha
God dammit...
Just google anything and you have thousands of matches
good thing you did not throw out more than one
I make the bottles for cutty sark at my work if you see on the base EO8 then it's one of my babies
This is my go to whisky. I keep it in a decanter that I think is leaking because I have to refill it weekly

I used to sell wholesale whiskey. This was my favorite blended cheap Scotch.
why do we store wine on it's side, yet, whiskey bottles with a cork is stored upright? love the show.
It's because the higher alcohol content in whisky will eat the corks!

It's lovely! We have it, and we'll do an episode at some point!
Holy shit......Cutty isn’t as bad as I remembered it being! Lol! Score! Everyday budget whisky that isn’t E-150A (caramelled) to death! Nice!
What's the problem with E150a?
Any chance you guys gonna review more budget, blended scotches? I'm curious what do you think about J & P Rare
Cutty sark is actually one of my favorite blended scotches my 2nd favorite scotch is dwears white label
Those are my two faves too
I always have always dug cutty sark simple and straightforward

I bought a bottle of Ileach last week and don't know if I like it but I would love to see your ideas on it.
(Cutty Sark) I bought this after reading two Haruki Murakami novels. There had to be something about the main characters always leaning toward it...
This is a great whisky for $17, totally drinkable neat, better than many $20-30 bottles in all honesty
only with less saliva...you guys make my day. grew up with cutty sark...hey I'm still alive, so not so bad.
Hello whishky vault .. right now.. drinking CS in INDIA.. feels like fruity and over the top.. Great VFM.. Highly appreciated for Indian Market ... GOR FOR IT GUYS. WILL GONNA LOVE IT..

It also shows up in movie Green Book
Just bought a bottle thanks for the review. Cheers 🍻
I need you guys to review Old Ballantruan 10 just for giggles. I looked through your videos and didn't see any for this distillery.
I got a bottle of Cutty Sark as a gift. I'm an Ardbeg and Kilchoman fan, so this is almost tasteless. It's not bad for making Irish Coffee, though.
Somehow, watching these videos has allowed Rex's mooching magnificence to rub off on me - last weekend I brought a bottle of Blanton's to a friend's house, and came away with pours from a George T. Stagg, a George Washington Premium Rye, and to top it all off, a Pappy 20. I think my conscience is getting the best of me and I want to bring another unique rye/bourbon, but lottery releases and thousands of dollars gray market purchases are out of play - would you please suggest a whisk(e)y that is generally available, but a bit off the beaten path to share? Also, if you are able, I'd suggest a video on the George Washington Rye - supposedly it is only available at his Mt. Vernon, VA home, and it is hand made using his original 1797 recipe, in the same gristmill he used himself. They did not age the drink then, so they do sell a "white dog" version, but also two aged versions, a 2 year and a 4 year. Seems like a great history topic for the channel. Love the videos, it has helped to expand my tasting vocabulary! - Ted
That GW Rye is pretty damn pricey, especially the aged stuff, and it's only a damn rye which both these 2 hate. If you send a bottle in though, it might make it.
Great work guys! Just a question I’ve only tasted scotch whisky. Some example bottles I currently have are laddie classic, Glenlivet 18.
What are some good whiskys from different areas to start off with (America, Japan or Australian)
Try out our Top Ten most Recommended for beginners! We did it based on the most voted beginner whiskies from our community in the comments. It's a decent place to start when trying out new categories. dua-cam.com/video/PoeIPrIXUOw/v-deo.html
Here because of the movie Green Book
Dr.shirley always had this bottle packed and now I must try.
Me 2, just finished the movie about 10 minutes ago.
hey guys, if you like Laphroaig would you like to try some TCP to compare?
Hey Daniel and Rex, I've been a long time whiskey guy and just started watching your channel which is great! A lot of terms I didn't know which is good because I was always at a loss for a term for what I was tasting or smelling.. Question: Maybe I haven't gotten to them yet but have you done any reviews on any Japaneese whiskeys? Ie: Yamazaki or Suntori etc... I've been dying to get a hold of a bottle but never have enough money and wondered what you think before I start saving... Thanks and keep on keepin on..
Glad you're here! We're a big fan of them. Here's a playlist of the Japanese whisky we've reviewed! ua-cam.com/video/xsOfoS8vfU4/v-deo.html

Happy New Year Whiskey Vault and also to the Whiskey Tribe! What's everyone's first dram of the year?
singleton spay cascade, and u2
HNY! Lagavulin 16. I can't stop reaching for it!
JW Platinum. party like it was distilled in 1999!
I enjoyed some Kavalan Rum Cask, thank you!
Thank you J Z, Lagavulin 16 is amazing and even mine is running very low, thinking about getting the distiller edition as well as I've heard great things about it.
Black Bottle is my go to blend, love it.
Chad fights back! well timed cut right there.
Hey, guys! I will admit that I'm not the biggest partaker of drinking alcohol. I find the bitter taste of it off putting. Well, at least I did until this last year.
In 2017, I have started going to parties where I wanted to taste what my friends were. I have found that I like ciders and desert drinks, like port and sherry. Stuff that isn't bitter like beer.
In December, for a white elephant present, I received/stole a gift containing a bottle of Jameson. Now, I have had Jameson before, but I would always get overwhelmed by, what I assume, is the taste of alcohol.
I began to research online how to drink whisk(e)y and stumbled upon your channel through the Modern Rogue.
Last week, I opened the said bottle of Jameson and shared it with my dad and brother-in-law. At first, I was overwhelmed by the taste of cleaner. However, as I fought past the taste, I started picking up another flavor! The flavor reminded me of an apple-tini that I had almost 12 years previous to now! I asked my brother-in-law if he could get it, and he did!
Thank you guys for helping me get more interested in going to parties! You are both gods among men. Daniel the god of Nerdiness and Rex the god of Moochiness.
I love stories like this! Welcome to the Tribe.
Hey, Daniel! I've got a question for you about the taste of Jameson. I'm getting overwhelmed with the alcohol taste, is this normal? I'm getting hints of stuff, but the flavors are really buried for me.
Also, I'm thinking about trying Monkey shoulder next, but I'm slightly worried about spending $40 on something that tastes like alcohol. Will I get the same overwhelming bitter/burning alcohol taste in other whisk(e)ys, or can it be that the process Jameson goes through and that irish whiskeys aren't my thing?
Thanks for your time!
I always called this "Cutty Shark" How embarrassing. Happy New Year. Looking forward to your 2018 videos.
Can someon alcohol wise answer my question? Does the sun, that is directly pointing at the bottles on the shelfs destroy the alcohol? Can it have some damaging effect? And how long can you keep an open bottle of red wine in fridge?
Gentlemen, what do you guys think about doing a entire brand or lineup of whisky for comparison on an episode?
For example, try the different expressions of Ardbeg, or Balvenie and let us know your opinions based on the differences in taste and price point. I completely understand taste and price change based on where you live and your preferences, however, I feel it would help me to warrant spending the additional money for a different bottle if I know the difference.
Stay Magnificent! And Happy New Year!
The company I work for has a 'Weekend of Chocolate' event every year around Valentines' Day, and this year one of the featured events is a whisky pairing with what sounded like an array of Compass Box whiskies. It's so hard to find Compass Box around me, so I'm keen to go, but will the pairing with chocolate distort the flavors I find in the whiskies?
Also, it's $40 which sounds like a decent deal to me. Love to hear your thoughts and keep up the good work!
Definitely do it! And BTW, Toll Booth, good to see you again!
Even with the chocolate, you'll still get to try a bunch of compass box, and that's awesome.
You should resolve to make sure the mic is turned on before shooting.
what other good Whiskey to drink i had Crown Royal & Jack Daniel's whiskey now im trying blended scotch whisky..... just dont know what one that has taste with light after burn in ur mouth ?
That was my stepdad’s first Scotch
Chad, master editor.
Can you guys please do Lismore Scotch?? It’s cheap and I wanna buy but before I do I need the Boys approval:))
I am a bartender and in our well the scotch is Cutty Sark. You wouldn't believe how much griping we get, but it makes me laugh because most the time they are looking for Dewars or Johnny Walker. I don't know how you guys feel, but to me a lot of those lower tier blended scotch whiskeys are too close within range to care, but this is also coming from a guy who prefers Ardbeg.
hahahaha. not surprising. I'd take Cutty over Dewars. Not sure about the Walker. And yes, Ardbeg for the win!
Hey guys, love the videos and have been getting further into whiskey. i am currently on a family trip to Japan - turns out japan makes great tube socks... I have come to love the HAkaushu, and my new favorite Whisky "Nika from the Barrel" i just wanted to recommend you guys keep an eye out for this one, as at age 20 i can legally purchase socks here in japan, but cannot bring back any gifts. zi will look to earn my magnificence in the future, but till then i guess im just a bastard.
I picked up a bottle of Laphroiag Select the other day, and it is pretty light and entry level. How would you say it compares to Black Bottle? I am considering picking up some. Thanks!
Black bottle is even less aggressive and peaty
That Laphroaig should be called "Do Not Select".
Have you guys reviewed black and white blended scotch yet? I see it in the store for about $25.
Happy new year
Dang I wish it was in the 50's in Michigan, it's in the negative right now for us
In the 50s....it was -3°F where I am this morning lol, want to trade places guys?
As long as the Whiskey is still liquid it's not too cold.
strange ,other reviews call for peat in the cutty
Hey guys, I saw at a local store a few bottles of this whisky....however looked vintage, how do I know if the bottle (content) still good.?
If the bottle is still sealed, it could be 50yrs old and still be fine!
Good afternoon Rex and Daniel can someone in the vault answer way its so cold here in central Texas?
Joseph Candelaria it's winter
What is this winter you speak of?
It's all in perspective. I'm in Minnesota! (-15° ) What better reason to drink then "to stay warm!"
Shawn W I'm in Wisconsin first day above zero in awhile.
Hey guys - JP from Sydney Aus -
2 questions - Do any of the Somm to be's bring an empty bottle and make their own infinity? Also im flying to the US this month but not going to be in Austin ( couple of hrs in Houston airport then Boston, Philly, Vegas and home.) Is there a way i can bring an Aussie whiskey with me and send it to you from within the US? My resolution for 2018 is to become an Magnificent Bastard!
Love JP
Feel free to mail it in from anywhere! And enjoy the US trip!
Any thoughts about the "Prohibition edition" ?
I got a cool little Whiskey Bottle i know nothing about and maybe you two could shed some history on me. It is a mini bottle i can barley make the label out but it says "IMPORTED Canadian Club, Blended Canadian Whisky. Hiram Walker & Sons Limited" i have no clue how old this little brown glass bottle is but its still sealed and i guess ill keep it that way.
Sounds like one of the 1960's era Canadian Club taster bottles. Cool!
Look up "killing whisky history", I think the channel is called " diving for pearls". Great guy. He explains how to date bottles.
Our summers are in the 60s man up
Have you reviewed J&B Rare? Could you if possible?
It's not rare.
Maybe it's just me, but, I don't get any smoke, but it does have this odd sort of brine in the back-end.
You magnificent bastards! Daniel/Rex can we get a whiskey collection layout video? Maybe better suited for a Cookie video.. (see what I did there?) Its seems aside from the wall of Whiskey and the chain locked cupboard, the others are all over the place. Whats going on?! Is everything segregated for a reason or is there no reason to your madnesses?! BTW Sipping on a Balcones Rumble as we speak and got to say, I'm not impressed. Have you guys tried it yet?
A WHITE T-SHIRT!! DANIEL IS WEARING A WHITE T-SHIRT!!!
HOLY CRAP!
steel yourself. this week is about to get WILD
Love this stuff! And J&B!
