What is a good whisky for a complete beginner? 🥃  

"Sir, we didn't ask you any of that. We only asked you to blow into this tube."

This man is a true gent and really appreciates whisky. Would absolutely love to have a dram with Richard Patterson while he shares his stories

Dude is like a pro whiskey drinker. How can you dislike this guy, he's great.

and never forget to throw half of it up the wall

got it, chew the whisky to extract the flavours

Just found this guy, great stuff. My dad was born in scotland and came over to the US when he was 17, this guy sounds like my dad when hes drunk 😂😂😅😅 ❤❤

- Sir, this is a wendy's.

I love that this man is trending right now

This guy is bringing classy back and elevating it to a whole new level.

He's so passionate about Whiskey, makes me feel like trying some🫡

Glad to see you are still at it

For anyone genuinly wondering how to start with whisky, dont stress too much about what particular whisky. I would say start with something low abv. 40%. You want to train yourself to get used to the alcohol burn so its no longer an unpleasant distraction. Perhaps add a teaspoon or 2 of spring water (not chilled) and take a sip, roll it over your tongue gently and swallow. Focus on the flavours, not the burn. What did you notice? Was it floral? Fruity? Did it remind you of citrus or perhaps xmas cake or were there whisps of a campfire?Eventually you wont notice the burn very much and will be able to 'see through' it to the flavours, but as richard said, dont rush it! Have a dram when you feel like it. Share your journey with a friend and compare notes. Its not a competition, its an experience that we are lucky to have the opportunity to enjoy. As far as what bottle? Theres no rules but id say start with something decent but not expensive (ie better than johnny walker red but not too expensive). It doesnt have to be a scotch either. There is great whisky made all over the world but you can find decent quality and affordable scotches at most bottle shops. You want something thats meant for savouring but if you are inexperienced you might not be able to appreciate the nuances of an expensive bottle and that would be a a shame for the whisky and your wallet. You can build up to that later! Later on, go halves with your whisky pal on a more fancy bottle and enjoy it together. Welcome to the wide world of whisky.

His explanation is excellent! Experiment, and learn what you like, and sits well with you.

the best way i found is a whisky tasting set. find which regional variety you like the best, and then you can try other specific malts. also, often given advice for scotch is neat with just a few drops of water in your dram - not any amount that would 'cut' it. maybe folk advice, but i find it opens up the flavour surprisingly well for such an insignificant dilution.

I’m in love with the Speysides.

okay there is fourth video of this gentle man and I'm subscribed!

Me during the whole video: “That’s what she said!”

Top bloke.. love his advice..

Monkey shoulder blended malt is a great one to start with. Other options would be glenlivet 12 yo, glenmorangie 10 yo or a chivas regal 12 yo. Remember to add enough water so you can drink it comfortably and try a few different ones to discover what you like!

Chew your whiskey! Got it!

The two best ones to start are right behind him. The laphroaig 10 and the highland park 12. I would recommend the glenmorangie port roban as well

For what it's worth, the first scotch that I started with that I really liked was Glenmorangie so that's what I always recommend. It's not too expensive and not too strong and a little fruity so it's easy to drink.

Thx for the lesson!

This guys a legend

This is the best channel I've ever seen, peak british humor. Its totally ironic, i realized its was a schtick in a different video where he threw out the first pour then jammed his nose in the glass. I love it

nice advice

Love this fella

Thank you Mr. Patterson.

I’ll never be in a hurry again!

Lovely!

There is a phrase I go with that always helped me whenever I was around products I did not have an intimate knowledge of that would guide me to “the good stuff”. My mother taught it to me and I think it came from Coco Chanel, and I think it’s perfect for that time when you’re out and about and you don’t have someone around to guide you to the right decisions. It goes like this: “If you don’t know what is good, ask what is expensive”. I have, of course, greatly developed my tastes and my knowledge of many things since childhood, but this mindset never failed me whenever I encountered something new as I was growing up😉

I’d love to hear this guy describe something mundane like chocolate milk.

Okay gonna chew the whiskey! Thanks sir!

I love this guy..awesomeness

doing a tour in scotland is a good start, did mine in 2007, 2 weeks in the highlands, 1 week in inverness...

Recommending a couple reasonably priced bottles seems like a good idea

When I picture a whiskey expert in my head this is the guy that shows up.

This is so true. As someone who is new to whisky, bourbon and scotch, and loves them all, its intimidating. I have found that many 20 - to 30 dollar bottles are just as good as some high-end brands.

Great guy

This gentleman has become my spirit animal no pun intended

When I was younger i'd just drink to get drunk and thought ingesting as much as possible was the cool and correct way to drink. Now i enjoy an Oz. Of bourban or whisky every now and then. Just sipping it.

Bring this guy, Brewzle, and Tipsy Bartender together, you would have one of the greatest videos on alcohol ever 😂❤

“Sir I just asked for a double Jack and Coke”

Bless you🙌

Hello from india, sir, you remind me of O'Brien from Star Trek DS9, It's probably because of Quark's (you are standing in a bar)

I like this guy

FINALLY I HAVE FOUND THE LEGEND!!!

This man should be king

He and the My pillow guy should collaborate

Truth, my man.

I love it with 7Up

First I get the video of him throwing whiskey all over his floors, now he’s taken over my algorithm

Johnny Walker Green Label was my Beginner-Level Scotch. Before drinking Scotch, when I was much younger, I started with Southern Comfort bourbon, eventually moved on to Wild Turkey, and over to Jameson's, and then got into various types of Johnny Walker blended whisky before I started regularly drinking Scotch. The bottle I'm currently working on is Glenlivet Captain Reserve.

Tried some out, thought I'd have to be snobbish about only single malts, then I stumbled upon a malt/grain blend that fit my taste so perfectly that I just stick with it (although I hardly drink anything alcoholic anymore these days. But it's nice to know that there is that one whiskey that can always increase my happiness by just that little notch :-) )

I was waiting on Captain Kirk calling him and shouting "Beam me up Scotty"

Top guy, I really want a whiskey 🥃

What is the name if this dudes channel

I need this mans voice when I sleep and some whiskey ofc

Scotland is great

The healthiest advice ever!😂

A good start is Admiral Nelsons finest! 😂

Im a bartender and i always try to keep a good range of what i would serve in cocktails or even straight up if the coustomer asks for it but its so hard to recommend whiskey because it has so many styles and many people dont like smoky and many people want it on the rocks which makes it hard for me to give a good recommendation when they say “i like whiskey” and at home i like to drink bourbon or from sweden since its my place of origin. When im standing behind the bar i rarely know what to recommend. I can only say what i like

Dude shows up to an AA meeting:

I just had scotch for the first time, and I like it. I'm getting bourbon next to see what I like better. I'm tippicly a cognac man, but I want to expand my palate

My first , i was 16. Almost 50 years ago...and the first was Dimple (if i remember)

I love you ❤️ you are very good in whiskey

glenfiddich 12 yr is good to start with. blends like monkey shoulder have some peated flavor that you don't get with glenfiddich

start with some TCP, or other anti bacterial surface cleaner - then gradually add more and more mouthfuls of soil.

kinda reminds me of my dad.. its the eyes and the hair and the mustache

I like the part where he told us a good whisky for a complete beginner

Buffalo Trace. Maker's Mark. Russell's Reserve 10 year. You are all welcome.

For a good blended malt for under 50 USD, I highly recommend Monkey Shoulder from Speyside

I love Shackletons single malt.

No clue why these whisky videos have been in my feed.. but im not complaining

That's is what I tell my wife, hold it long enough....

I feel like this is a really advanced way to mask being an alcoholic

"Don't knock it back like a cowboy" - This Guy

Where is this originally from??

Thought he was a meme at first but this guy is a character who looks his whiskey.

I had no idea that Whisky was such an adventure.😮

What is Humza’s favourite?

Reminds me of my grandad legend

Low in the mouth thanks im actually new to everything so wow. It tastes nice. N sweet. I got bushmills irish I think my first real whisky

"sir, im going to ask you one more time, license and registration"

My very first alcoholic drink was me swiping a dram of my parent's Glenlivet in the night. I don't remember the specifics, but I did find out later the bottle was over $100. I guess they must not have noticed because they never confronted me about it, much less made me pay for it fortunately lol.

AA before starting your drinking journey is the best place to start

I went down this rabbit hole years and years ago. I like any single malt scotch, chilled and over a little ice. Now I still say my all time favorite is a tequila. Cava de oro extra anejo. It will change your life.

"Remember to hold it long in the mouth" ... My new pickup line for the clubbs

Really knows what he is talking about

“And remember: if it’s no’ah Scottish, it’s crap!”

Yes

This was a masterful way of saying ' Shit, I don't know'

He has a point but I still would like his recommendation

i remember the time but cost me 2k i dony lie was awesome

I really like that he didn't answer the question

this man reminds me of otto from Malcome in the middle anyone else see it?

That works! now it taste good

Southern comfort!
