Is FLAVORED Whiskey Actually Bad? (or are we just too afraid to admit the deliciousness...)

  • All MB's know that RULE #1 in the Whiskey Tribe is - The BEST whisk(e)y is the whisk(e)y you like to drink - the way you like to drink it. But FLAVORED WHISKEY never seems to get any love in whisky circles. Is that reputation deserved? Or have we been missing out on something tasty because we're too worried about what our fancy friends might think?

    10:45 Honey can have notes. Bees were stealing ingredients from a licorice factory in my hometown, and their honey tasted like licorice. You might find that the bees responsible for the Yukon Jack are also responsible for pollinating a citrus orchard.

      @tsrindahl 3 роки тому +14

      Exactly, I don’t think anyone drinks it neat. It’s a liqueur. Drambuie is no more a flavored whiskey than Grand Marnier is a flavored Cognac. I love Rusty Nails almost as much as an Old Fashioned. I make them 2oz blended scotch like Chevas Regal 3/4 to 1 oz Drambuie stir on the rocks and float 1/2 oz Ardbeg 10 or Uigeadail on top. Then an optional second float or Angostura Bitters. Heavenly!

    • @oivind22
      @oivind22 3 роки тому +3

      Yes, that's what I keep a bottle of Drambuie for. I use a ratio of 3:1 or 4:1, whisky to Drambuie. I have only tried it with Johnnie Walker Black, but my idea was to use it for whiskies I don't finish because they're too boring (I'll try with Laphroaig sometime, though). Throw in some Drambuie and ice, and you have a nice dessert. Excellent after a heavy meal.

    A yummy frozen mixed drink for the wives,.... and/or people who just like fru-fru mixed drinks,... is to start out like you are making strawberry daiquiris but replace the rum with 100 proof Southern Comfort.
    My dad showed me this one in the early 90s,... the ladies LOVE it.

    I been wondering for some time now. I have and had some whiskey bottles that’s I have never opened. I’m a control environment where I keep my whiskey collection and noticed that a few bottles have condensation inside the bottles. Is this bad? I have also noticed at some liquor stores. I was wondering if you guys can make an episode detailing on why it happens and does it affect the whiskey inside the bottle regardless if it has never been opened. I and I’m sure everyone else would love to hear your take on this. FYI… I’m a been a big fan of yours for the past 4 years. Thank you in advance and keep up the great work in educating people like me.
