Another bottling from "the Milk and Honey Distillery" in Tel Aviv, this time with a Sherry influence. "SALT in your WHISKEY" Episode here: • SALT in your WHISKEY: ... Big thanks to David Moskowitz for the bottle. Cheers ya M.B.!
I was drinking some Glenn Moray speyside Port cask finish the other day and I thought it went really good with some chocolate chip cookies I was eating.
Hey Daniel, here are some additional content ideas for you when you don't like a whiskey very much. 1) What would you do to fix a whiskey like this one? 2) is there another whiskey you could blend with this one to improve it? (You're welcome Rex.) 3) What foods do you think would pair well with a whiskey like this with a vegetable note? Hollandaise sauce? 👍
There a few doubles in there. But I like those, because they signify a change in your palate/ interpretation that day and/or difference in batches, etc. Even better when Dan also did those solo during his advent calendar reviews. I recall enjoying the different things you guys say over time and recently I was checking out the Jim B Old Tub reviews.
M&H's spirits have won several awards, including category “winner” at the World Whiskies Awards 2023 for the Elements Sherry Cask and the APEX Dead Sea at the Frankfurt International Trophy 2022, as well as two gold medals at the 2022 San Francisco World Spirits Competition for the Elements Sherry and Elements Peated. ;-)
Triple reviewing the Quarter Cask? Either Emma hypnotized him before Daniel searched the spreadsheet OR Daniel has secretly been the one changing the bottles in the back and blaming Emma.
I mean, to be fair. It never hurts to review Laphroaig 3 times😂 In defense of Daniel though, I forget that the quarter cask is among Laphroaig's core range until I go the liquor store nearly every time, so I could imagine how that would be the candidate for 3 reviews.
For the future "enhancement" Tribe episode(s): gotta taste each thing on its own in water. I still can't understand how people can NOT taste straight MSG in water. It's a very obvious taste (not to be confused with [retronaaaaasal] flavor).
All this space talk has got me thinking. Jefferson's Ocean is pretty popular because it's aged in barrels on a boat. How long until we get space whiskey?
Just did a quick check and I don't think you guys have done a whiskey + MSG pairing video. Salt, yes, but not MSG. I think MSG, which is called Ajinomoto over here in Asia, has gotten an undeserved bad rap. I keep it in the house at all times.
Hey there's nothing in the rules that say you can't "revisit" classic whiskeys. Call it a "memory drift" instead of a "flavor drift" review - does it hold up to what you remember?
Someone with such an awesome palate shouldn't like MSG - no true chinese-food cook in Asia uses it. If you put it on dog shit, it makes the dog shit taste like ambrosia, which sounds like a boon but it's a terrible bane that hides a chef's true skill :P
To my old ass, MSG = Michael Schenker Group gentlemen. Also, my wife is Japanese and she says Ajinomoto MSG is much better than Accent. Just for your information
