I woke up thinking about that aberlour a'bunadh. Whats you're go-to high proof pour right now? AND, thanks again to Bright Cellars for sponsoring the video and for the limited time offer. You can click here www.brightcellars.com/whiskeytribe to get 50% off your first 6 bottle box. I only drank red for years, but now this has been a convenient and fun exploration of white wine.

@bannorbert7342 2 года назад

Glenlivet Nadurra Oloroso. I think it's as exciting as the Aberlour.

@reikoshea 2 года назад

I know it was in your list, but Laphroaig is something else. It's definitely my high proof choice from Scotland. Aberlour is a FAR distant second for me, personally. Makers Cask Strength though is DANGEROUS. It's $40/bottle, so not THAT expensive, the flavors are great and, in my neighborhood, there's 4 stores that carry it within 5 miles. Old Forester 1920 would be my choice if I lived in an area where I could find it regularly. It's about a 80 mile drive to get a bottle.

@rrayjay5171 2 года назад

I am so happy Aberlour was on the list! Saved the best for last.

@CookinWithSquirrl 2 года назад

Bright cellars is pretty awesome. I found one of my all time favorite reds through them.

@jaime_hi-meh_not_jay-mee7095 2 года назад

If you can still find it and you like fruity notes, try the Arran 12 Cask Strength.

@kyle_ramey 2 года назад

Rex is using one of the Glencairn glasses with my Barrel Strength Gentleman logo on it that I gifted to them when I made my first pilgrimage to the distillery a few years back! 👍🥃 That was an awesome “what the” moment when my wife and I noticed it together!

I added the Aberlour A'Bunadh to the poll, and when I saw it was winning, I felt the urge to delete the option and cause chaos. Maybe next time.

@WhiskyCanuck 2 года назад

For a relatively affordable cask strength scotch (though the Aberlour is pretty well priced), I'd throw in Glenfarclas 105 for consideration.

@cammygillies6535 2 года назад

The Aberlour will definitely last you a while! But I agree with the 105. Was expecting it

@patrickraines720 2 года назад

Gotta thank you guys! Been watching for a while off and on and love the content. Never could really get into whiskey but with yalls suggestions and descriptions for nosing and tasting I have really come around to enjoy the whiskey life. (Now just gotta get proper glasses, don't think the coffee mugs are gonna cut it much longer haha)

Bought a bag of Laphroffee during the Live Chat a couple weeks ago. Been pulling espresso shots of it, and it's effing delicious! So glad that it the beans were not over-roasted (light-to-barely-medium, or "cinnamon-to-city roast" if you're boujie ;). Cheers!

@mrjockey87 2 года назад

Awesome episode! Got the A’bunadh on the shelf! Its my go to atm. It has ALL the flavour, fantastic nose too!

@Gazelle8 2 года назад

love this episode, been leaning more and more into the irish and scotch than american's lately. The Laphroffee is great, none of the usual coffee acidity on it.

@BaneOfXistence4 2 года назад

It's so cool to see them do the Octomore 10.4. Its the only one I've managed to get my hands on. That is a crazy Scotch. Once you get halfway through your pour it starts to smell like a barnyard. Like hay and wet wood and a bit of funk. It's the wildest thing.

@stillshed 2 года назад

My first real scotch experience was Tobermory Ledaig 18 and was very recently told to try Aberlour a'bunadh; couldn’t agree with your descriptions more!

@marks2091 2 года назад

I love the enjoyment you both radiate from that experience

@TheDriveDemo 2 года назад

Good choice on #1. Aberlour A'bunadh, still my all time favorite scotch.

@smokeandoak 2 года назад

Fantastic show gentleman. I’m a big fan of “opening up” Islay scotch, and have a small crystal decanter just for that purpose. Nothing better than the taste of caramel in a dumpster fire.

I've been amassing SMWSA bottles so everything is cask strength. The single cask at cask strength is such a unique experience each time, I really love it.

@trexfighterpilot 2 года назад

Found a bottle of Arbeg Uigeadail a couple of months ago where I live. Best $95 dollars I've spent on Scotch. Drinks way smoother than 55%. Kinda sneaks up on you. Stands up to ice and the pallet is amazing.

@RyanAndyBob9797 2 года назад

Would have loved to of known you were in Louisville Daniel. The chance to just say hi and thank you for opening up my whiskey experience would have been a highlight of my year for sure.

@johan790 Год назад

Tried my first cask strength the other day, highland park. The feeling of mouthing a cloud of flavour was wonderful, in many ways smoother than proofed whiskey.

@longdongmc.johnson Год назад

hp was my first cask strength too. made me fall in love with it straight away. i havent bought a scotch under 50% abv since.

The Ardbeg Corryvreckan is superb, one of my favourite Islay single malts!!🙂🥃

@PatrickTorsell 2 года назад

Just picked up a Laphroaig 10 Cask Strength (batch 13, Jan 21) two days ago. Still a few bottles available locally to me. One of our local liquor stores (in a very small town) kindly keeps it in stock for me and my father. Don't think anyone else 'round these parts buys it. But we work through his case over the course of a year!

@justinafuchs2619 3 месяца назад

I’m not the biggest Laphroaig fan, but I do like the cask strength. The Springbank 12CS is a banger of a whisky, it’s one of the best Scotch I ever had, regardless of the age. But good luck finding it at a realistic price .. I hate that my all time favourite Single Malt has become practically unaffordable to me. Ardbeg Corryvrecken and Uigeadail are two of my favourites. Highland Park could be so much more .. and Aberlour A’Bunadh is a really good, affordable Cask Strength whisky.

@SlaserX 2 года назад

I am SOO glad I woke up early and watched this, I have Laphroffee on its way here! I didn't miss it this time!

@tommygun83 2 года назад

In regards to 'opening up' a whisky using water, I have a technique I've been playing with that COMPLETELY changes the tasting experience - I've been experimenting with 'liquering'' my whisky by using a few drops of simple syrup instead of plain water. Try a taste test side by side with a straight dram and a flowered dram... The results are incredible. I'd love to know your thoughts, I really think I'm onto a whole new whisky tasting concept.

@hunamsafee2 9 месяцев назад

If you also consider off-brand bottler releases, I'd say Ileach CS is a near perfect CS whisky for the money. A'bunadh is great though, as is Lag12

@edstar7894 2 года назад

I got my hands on loch fyne, 217 bottle limited release cask strength last year. It was the best whisky I have ever tasted. At 63% the the perfect smoke would linger on back of your throat for hours. 2nd bottle was intended as present for father in law, who lives in trune opposite Islay. I kept the second bottle and gave him a laphroig instead. It did not occur to me until later, that an Englishman giving a west coast Scotsman a laphroig is like buying a supermarket wine for a Frenchman.

@edstar7894 2 года назад

The laphroig was 40%….I don’t know why they do that in uk.

@juanvalle1998 Год назад

Their hand gestures say so much. In fact, I first watched the video completely silent. Had never tried that before, but it was very interesting. If I remember correctly, in some of the first episodes, Rex had his hands in his pockets for some portion of the videos.

@puddingwar5110 2 года назад

I was glad my favorite made the list Coreyvrekan, If you do another viking fire you should use your own whiskey's four shots instead of lighter fluid to light the fire.

@MarFor0 2 года назад

Note that Springbank 12 CS uses different casks from batch to batch and while your bottle is 100% sherry (?) I have one from last year that is 100% bourbon, it can also be anywhere in between. A little beware for you who are biased towards one or the other :-)
