TRY Channel: "Here, try this whiskey." Darren: *sips* "Ah, yes. This was distilled by a one-armed man on a Tuesday, 21 years ago. The weather threatened rain that day, but no rain fell."
Eadaoin had the perfect description: " smells like whiskey, I'm getting notes of....whiskey"!! Exactly how I like my whiskey.....smelling like whiskey and tasting like whiskey.
I know this sounds crazy to someone outside the whisky world, but running a tasting is much more complicated than this, and every person consider themselves whisky enthusiast would know that mistake any redbreast with Jameson black is outrageous.
I think Thomas and Darren are totally on the same wavelength and level of whiskey appreciation - they just express it differently. And if you enjoyed the drinks, wherever they're from, then it's a fine day. Well done all - slainte!
In Oregon, where the state controls hard liquor, there isn't any Teeling 24. There is the Teeling 30 for $2199.95. A liquor store in Albany has the entire state's supply of it with a total of 3 bottles.
Darren continues to amaze me at his knowledge and skills of his whiskey tasting. I found it kinda amusing that Eadaoin was really trying to identify and choose the Irish whiskey, but chose the Japanese one each time. 😅
Sometime when you do a tasting battle, don’t reveal what the two countries are. Mystery tasting-you won’t be trying to guess which one is Irish. It’s easier to pick the one you truly prefer. Unless you are Darren and he will probably know which is Irish anyway.
The pairing of Thomas and Darren was BRILLIANT!!! The "every man" Thomas with the SEASONED Master. Thomas chose what he liked and Darren explained why After hearing the price, I'd have finished the Teeling myself...😊😊.
I would have too! 😂 I've only had one expensive drink and my uncle bought it for me because, I was only 15! It was a shot of something that tasted like it came from the old woman in the shoe! 🤢 I couldn't throw up and forced it down because, my uncle told me that I better not waste it as he had to pay 150 dollars for the shot! 😮 That was 85 or 86! 😅
Thank God you finally had Eadaoin doing a Whiskey Try! She was outstanding, even though she picked all of the Japanese shots. I also love watching Paddy and Niall getting locked! This was a great video!! 10/10!
I've become a true lover of Tullamore DEW. During the pandemic, my local establishment was struggling to get Jameson. So, they started carrying Tullamore instead. I instantly became a huge fan. It's like a perfect marriage. The main label is aged in used bourbon barrels. That charred oak finish and the angel's notes of bourbon left in the wood smooth Tullamore out so much more and so much faster. They also make a whiskey finished in rum barrels, which I don't recommend, and one finished in sherry barrels that I've yet to try. I was lucky enough to tour the distillery in November of 2021 when I could finally take my trip that had been on hold for close to 2 years.
Yoichi is now $65-70 in my area. Absolute steal at that price. They also have Teeling 32 and 33 at a nearby shop... for $3k and $3.3k respectively. For a 30+ year old whiskey that's fair enough but way outside my budget.
@@CCoburn3 well I was referring to why they didn't want him back. It was on one of the Tryers Post Facts updates or shortly after they started Try and that's what they said. He had issues with saying one thing and doing another. There was a situation that's all I remember it was years ago now.
Y'know, I'm from the US, but both sides of my family going back 4 generations are half Irish or more, every parent and grandparent. Raised celebrating Ireland and her culture, the food, the music, etc. I desperately love when y'all get the folk in here experiencing and comparing Irish goods vs. similar wares from other lands. What a great episode this was.
Always happy to see any and all of you. Love the pairs this time. Darren, I always learn from you! And Niall, you hair is looking so pretty! Love it. Thanks for the fun!
I think a whole series of the Try crew taking the Bourbon Trail tour through the US would be amazing.. and I'm sure every member would be 100% on board with it!
Been asking for this video from you guys for a year+ now. Glad to see it was almost what I expected. Though I was hoping for more pairings of Japanese whiskey's (Hibiki) that matched the profiles of the various Irish ones (Glendalough). The single malts were nice, too. Still, excellent bottles, and am glad you got Seamus on for this one. Good catch on Darren, as always, on noticing the softness of triple distilled in Irish.
Dumpling Darren does know his whiskey. (Yeah, I gave him the name because well, watch the dumpling trying video) LOL. Also ''Pitting two countries against each other" is the bomb statement!
I love that Tullamore Dew was represented! It's one of my favorites, and I've been drinking it for years. They just released a Rum Cask finished edition, which was also lovely. Cheers
Love the content just hope next time they match the aging years, because it would be hard to find a whiskey aged 5-7 years that would beat a whiskey aged 24 years on aroma, and taste
Darren, no clue if you have a whisk(e)y channel or not, but you need one. Very good you are. Being a Merican, I can very much respect your ability to nose and taste the spirit, and your tasting notes. Much better than some (not this video) "burn!!! this one burns more!!!!!"
Holy hell just few minutes in and I have to do this myself with a few friends ! Awesome video so far :) FRAKKIN great video, got to do this one again !!! Just 6 different tryers PLEASE !!! Going to do this for our Memorial Cup party and add a third too. Being Canadian will add three Canadian Whiskeys as well. Going to text my bros and get everybody to bring a specific bottle and nine bottles wont bankrupt me ......lmfa0
The only thing different is between each shot take a sip of water to clear your palette, and you'll be able to get better tasting notes between each whiskey.
Having tasted whiskies from around the World, I have always chosen Scottish Malt Whisky every time (bias) 😁🏴 Irish comes second and Japanese third. Darren did well, we need the Try team to do a Scottish Malt Whisky challenge mixing different countries whiskies. 😁
This shows just how hard a professional whiskey tasters job is , and why a master distiller is worth their weight in cases of whiskey, it helps if you have an above average palate and smell , nice shoot , new york
We all need to chip in to get Darren a really nice suit and fedora, and help him open a super chill jazz club where they serve high end whiskeys and cigars. I don't think you could find a more perfect person for the job.
BONUS POINTS FOR TRY CHANNEL for the correct Whisky/Whiskey spellings. The originators of Japanese Whisky studied in Scotland and therefore it is spelled without the "e". (Just realized you may have just copied the spelling from the bottle. BONUS POINTS for being observant.)
What fricken town was it? I have looked around Warner Robins and Macon to no avail. I am out in Albuquerque NM at Kirtland AFB on business and the class 6 store on base had a few bottles. Two of the bottles are going back home with me. Love me some Redbreast 12.
@5:27 we have the exact same level of whisky expertise BUT also, I have never particularly cared to what extent a whisky is great so long as good whiskies are being fed to me. My expertise has been honed to disqualifying bad whiskies. And in the grand scheme of things, is that not enough?! That should be enough. Expert? Never. FAN? Line them up! I'll pick a favourite, I guarantee. Right now, the top of my budget dictates that Black Bush Irish is my go to. I'm mustering the dollars to try to knock that absolute bargain off of the pedestal I currently have it on. If you know of another whisky that can topple it in the price range, I'm all ears so long as I can get it here. Cheers to another great vid and someone give that skinny kid his dream job already, would ya's? He's clearly gifted and somewhat passionate about it all. Cheers!
Tullamore Dew is one of my favorites. Darren says it is "Too drinkable" I agree. It is like wisps over your tongue. I love it. Fantastic shoot with some goals of things for me to buy and try.
Thanks for the video 🥃 Sláinte. Now when it comes to whiskey I prefer Irish and Scotch however for me it's hard to find a Bourbon I like other than the 4 I already do
TRY Channel: "Here, try this whiskey."
Darren: *sips* "Ah, yes. This was distilled by a one-armed man on a Tuesday, 21 years ago. The weather threatened rain that day, but no rain fell."
The funny part is that the guy scoffed at him when he said its tripple distilled, but he is just that good.
@@jormungandr4690 A good, funny part is that Tom Fanning didn't scoff at Darren in ridicule---he scoffed incredulous that he knew so much.
it's scary how good darren is
every man has a real talent, Darren & Ciara both LOVE their alcohol :)
Except when it come to dumplings....
lol
At what?
Impressive Ciara and Darren both indeed!!! Salud chingones🍻
❤
Tell her she's just discovered she likes Japanese whiskey, that's not a shame it's an expansion of joy
Eadaoin had the perfect description: " smells like whiskey, I'm getting notes of....whiskey"!! Exactly how I like my whiskey.....smelling like whiskey and tasting like whiskey.
Let's just all bow down to Darren. The Master is here!
Oooh, but will he get fired for missing a Jameson product!? 😮
That's F*cking Teeling! I died laughing knowing he'd get it
Dermot & Darren together ....hilarious
@@SilverJay7 he's recognized it before. Which either speaks to how good Teeling is to the taste, or Darren is as a taster.
IKR❤️
Master Taster!
🇮🇪🥃🇯🇵
🕊️💚🎶
Paddy took this one on the understated strength of some of his remarks. Even though Eadoin became an honorary Japanese citizen
Y’all drinking whiskey is the most Irish thing ever. Plus, the whiskey expert(Darren) is in a whiskey video. Well done TRY Channel.
I love the respect that Paddy has for the liquor that he never leaves a drop in the glass.
Darren keeps impressing me with his
whisky knowledge. Well done all…
Darren needs to be hired to run whiskey tasting events.
I think that is what he does for a living
You'll be happy to know he does just that as a part of his "real" job.
@@deanbrunner261 it shows. The man knows his whiskey
@@DJKuroh well at least we know he's in the right career, lol

The Teeling 24 year single malt is US$1,000 per bottle as of 4-17-2023. I'll never be able to afford to drink a drop!
Sean and Colin also have a bottle of Teeling 30 in their studio that's $2054.99.
And I see that Japan also has a 30 year old blend going for $9999.99
Got to get a group of friends to share the cost.
No wonder I’d not heard of it before.

Doing 8 full shots of whiskey in less than an hour would put most of us in a happy place. Good going, Niall and Paddy.
I could manage half. The full eight I legit wouldn't last to the end of the shoot.
Sometime when you do a tasting battle, don’t reveal what the two countries are. Mystery tasting-you won’t be trying to guess which one is Irish. It’s easier to pick the one you truly prefer. Unless you are Darren and he will probably know which is Irish anyway.
Yes, agreed.
Eadaoin is the Queen of Style on these shoots. Always knocks it out of the park.
Not only is she good with Whiskey but love her hair style. Makes me want to do that ❤
Eadaoin is more fun than a barrel of monkeys!
And she has the coolest fucking name!
This is the greatest thumbnail EVER!!! 🤣

Darren Lalor: (at 8:40) That's fookin' Teeling! That's one of the older Teelings. 24 or 30.
WOW!!! Well done! (tips cap)
Did you notice how the editors made the music stop right when Darren said that?
@@thatdudeinorange5269 Nice touch that.
It's not a Whiskey shoot without Darren telling you exactly what he's drinking at least once.
Y'know, I'm from the US, but both sides of my family going back 4 generations are half Irish or more, every parent and grandparent. Raised celebrating Ireland and her culture, the food, the music, etc.
I desperately love when y'all get the folk in here experiencing and comparing Irish goods vs. similar wares from other lands. What a great episode this was.
Love how Seamus ends the episode basically deciding to go get drunk in the woods

Darrens taste is amazing. Tip of the hat to you sir.
Japanese, Irish, whiskey is good no matter where its from
Scotch? Are we having that debate? 😅
Agreed, but bourbon is a little too sweet for my taste (and Canadian is too)
love rye though
Love you Seamus! Videos with you are always a pleasure!
I guess you've never tried Old Crow, which, as far as I can tell is made from dead, fermented birds.
The real whiskey is the friends we made along the way.
Seamus and Eadaoin hanging their heads in shame was a classic Try moment!!!
The piano crash at the double head drop....fine point there!
I love these types of video and I am always amazed are Darren being a whisky wizard
Darren is that one friend that u want to go drinking with because he'll know the best places. 😂
The try channel is wonderful. Please never change ❤
Dumpling Darren does know his whiskey. (Yeah, I gave him the name because well, watch the dumpling trying video) LOL.
Also ''Pitting two countries against each other" is the bomb statement!
I love that Tullamore Dew was represented! It's one of my favorites, and I've been drinking it for years. They just released a Rum Cask finished edition, which was also lovely. Cheers
Darren is just amazing. He must be one of those people with super taste buds.
“It feels….triple distilled.” Darren is just too damn good. I’d be “it feels….like whiskey”.
Was so excited to see Darren!
Standing Ovation for Darren. Well done sir! Slainte 😊
Love the content just hope next time they match the aging years, because it would be hard to find a whiskey aged 5-7 years that would beat a whiskey aged 24 years on aroma, and taste

How much fun would it be to go out drinking with Darren? What a master!
Darren: It feels like it has been triple distilled. Thomas just releases air in total astonishment and adoration.
Try'rs y'all rock! Darren you sir are awesome! Peace
The only thing different is between each shot take a sip of water to clear your palette, and you'll be able to get better tasting notes between each whiskey.
As a Japanese, watching this video makes me proud of Japanese whisky.
Darren gets a 10/10 for his whisky tastebuds.
"Yeah, I like this one more than that one" would be about as far as I could get.
Darren the Whiskey Master!! Cheers to all!!
Would've loved to hear Darren's opinion on some Suntory whiskies like Yamazaki or Hibiki. Yamazaki 12 is definitely one of my favorites.
Honest to God, Darren would make serious bank if he did nothing but whiskey tours. His pallet is seriously top notch.
Great shoot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very entertaining!
I'll like the video if you can get Seamus and Eadaoin to switch outfits next time!
I absolutely love these videos!!! Very fun watch!
"no fungible teeling" is kinda nice
Darren you are my whiskey drinking hero!!!
Great study in Biases :) plus i absolutly love Éadaoin's personality

Eadoin always has amazing style and keen remarks. Definitely want to try a few of these after her and Darren’s remarks 😸
Eadeoin is absolutely rocking in that top!
I now learned when tasting whisky it’s better to have a mustache then a full beard, thank you 😊
Darren needs to become a Whiskey reviewer. He is a Legend. 8:39.
5:28 I also have found that a whiskey which exhibits notes of whiskey is very often times the superior whiskey …when compared to those that don’t.
😂
I too wish to “go off into the whiskey Forrest and commune with the whiskey spirits.”😂😂😂
Wheeeeeskaaaay . Fun fact. The first test Tullamore vs Nikka..the Tullamore is like 50% cheaper then the japanese whiskey here :(
geez Darren's knowledge of whiskey is amazing
This shows just how hard a professional whiskey tasters job is , and why a master distiller is worth their weight in cases of whiskey, it helps if you have an above average palate and smell , nice shoot , new york
