YES!!!! Finally an informative "what to buy" whiskey video without filler. I've always appreciated your approach to videos. Keep it up!

Great video! Thanks for the no-nonsense video that cuts right to the point. The irony of not wanting to make this video 20 min long is that I’ll replay four or five times just to process all the “hmm that seems interesting... maybe I’ll pick that one up next time” hahaha.

@IC86 3 года назад

Excellent video! Really good recommendations. A lot of bourbon drinkers I know say they don’t like the peat flavor so Scotch, so I endorse your recommendations of Monkey Shoulder and The Classic Laddie to gain converts. Also, the only name I’d put on this list that I didn’t see is Johnnie Walker Green Label. Very smooth intro Scotch, only drawback is that it’s hard to find because it’s so popular. Thanks again for posting the video!

@TheWhiskeyDictionary 3 года назад

Its funny, in my area at least it's actually hard to find as well and I've heard the flavor is inconsistent.

Wow. I don't even care about whiskey (any alcohol really); I followed you here from an ancient GIMP wood-burning tutorial where you commented we should come and see your header (which, *duh*, naturally, so many years later, has long since changed, and probably several times). So here I am and this video autoplayed, and I actually watched it all the way through. And you know, if I were at all into alcohol, I'd be trying a couple whiskies now because you made it sound like fun instead of pretentious. ;) So, well done!

@TheWhiskeyDictionary 2 года назад

Hah wow yea, that header was quite a while ago. I've since gotten good at Photoshop instead :) many more tutorials on that! I'm glad you took the time to comment on the video and slightly envious that you don't drink at all. I'd have saved quite a bit of money :)

@crazylikeafox1163 3 года назад

This is a great video! The information is presently clearly. I like showing what the bottles look like and giving the price. Those are super helpful so you know what to look for and roughly how much you should be paying. I know the first bottle of Eagle Rare I saw around here was $90 and I thought that seemed awfully high even for something not common in the area. Knowing prices helps you know if a store is marking things up so you can avoid them in the future!

@TheWhiskeyDictionary 3 года назад

$90 is insane for Eagle Rare, however it's been insane since people went nuts for Pappy. Definitely don't buy into it

@crazylikeafox1163 3 года назад

@@TheWhiskeyDictionary Yeah, that was like a year and a half ago when I saw it. I've not been back to that store since. I picked up a bottle for MSRP online. There were a few things I wanted that I couldn't get around here so shipping was free! Would have still been cheaper than $90 even if I had to pay shipping. 😂

@FirstPhilWhisky 3 года назад

Great list! I feel advanced in scotch yet a noob in bourbon. So this gives me a great base to launch from. Super helpful. If people do want to go down the smoke route; I would suggest the Talisker 10, Lagavulin 16 and Laphroaig 10. Some people will instantly hate it, but some (like me) will like it from the get go. For people wanting to level up from that - I recommend the Port Charlotte 10.
