Whiskey Review And Whiskey Cocktails for Beginners 

"Ingredients you'll need: Better tolerance than me " lmao

Alternate title: How to write off $500 in whiskey as a business expense.

Scotch "this is - nice" "It tastes... Good" I learned so much, thank you

Bartender here - Try giving your egg white cocktails what we call a ‘dry shake’ first to get a better foam consistency, which will help your bitters art as well - shake vigorously in the tins using the spring from your strainer instead of ice, then after a while add your ice (some people do ice first, then dry shake, although I prefer the former). For cocktails that use juice you will want to double-strain the drink to avoid tiny ice crystals in the glass that further dilute the cocktail more than you initially wanted - use the hawthorn strainer and a fine strainer held above the coupe. Also keep exploring Japanese whiskey - they have a similar method to Scotch and in some cases make a malt whiskey better than the Scott’s do (blasphemy I know, but true). Have fun on your spirits journey, we live in a wonderful time as far as availability and variety go!

He definitely edited this when he was drunk

Its like he drank all the whiskey while recording and then went straight to video editing

Alternate title: Josh takes like 10 shots in 7 minutes.

this is now my comfort video. i come here every time i feel sad or anxious. it’s like therapy, but for free. thanks, josh.

Not labeled “Whiskey Business?” 🤷‍♂️

Joshua Weissman: - "Super oaky, vanilla... caramel, almost?" Me, sipping it under peer pressure because l don't drink: - "Tastes like fire, pain and as something that should be drunk more by cars than people"

"$50 is mid-tier..." *pours another Canadian Mist* I am garbage

When they said “Josh we should talk about this...” I don’t think this is what they meant, bud 😐

Mom: Why did you spend 10000 $ on so much whiskey Me: "Just wanna taste it all"

"ooo that's yummy!" "you like that??" "mm hmm" "REALLY??" "no..."

This video is endearing af. I have no tolerance either and watching you get a little drunk is a lot of fun

The editing is absolutely on point here

As someone who's properly involved with Scotch in Scotland, I'm happy to talk to you about loads more scotch! And also, consider this an invite to come and discover it in Scotland! ;) I'll happily host you and yours!

No wonder why the editing on this one is so frickin’ drunk lol.

Bruh said “zooted”. Subscribed

"Ooh that's yummy!" "You like that?" "..." "No"

Corona: *starts spreading in the US* Josh: *ALCOHOLISM*

josh Wiesman is my hero he drank a whiskey named Jefferson pointed out the face on the bottle I didn't realize it was Thomas jefferson

“Scotch is my least explored category”. Doesn’t even mention Irish

"Wooo that's yummy" "You like that?" "No"

Don’t think that nobody noticed that you labeled your syrup “Simp syrup”....

Bartending tip: For the Whisky Sour. To increase the froth you wanna add all your ingredients first then dry shake without the ice. After the dry shake add the ice and following the recipe as is. Trust me you won't regard it.

There is nothing wrong with adding a cube to your whiskey, or even a few drops of water as it will help open up the whiskey. Hibiki Harmony is a great Japanese whiskey example of how the flavors change from neat to adding an ice cube. But when it comes down to drinking whiskey, experiment and enjoy it however you want. Although always try a new whiskey neat first because you can always add ice or water later.

"Simp Syrup" right after the shot of that cake, smooth hustle

He really didn't hit us with a "whiskey business" tho 😭😭😭

you really missed the opportunity and didn’t call this “whiskey business” all i can say is i’m disappointed

As a person from Scotland who worked at a whisky/cocktail bar that had over 300 whiskies - I appreciate this video!

so this vid is pretty much Josh drinking for 8 minutes straight. Its amazing

Imagine drinking alcohol at night. *This comment was made by the 11 am gang.*

Joshua: There are two cameras but I see three. NEXT LEVEL DRUNK lol

Don’t mind me,just a 14 year old muslim watching this American boi getting whiskey

Awesome, Josh. Excited for the new move! NEW PLACE, NEW POSSIBILITIES! Can't wait to see what you do with it. Super happy for you guys.

I'm a beginner to this. Thanks for the help I'm 14

By the end of this crisis we'll al be either amazing chefs or alcoholics

Love the Whiskey episode! As a side note, doesn’t look like it’s her first time telling someone she liked something just to make them happy. 🤣

Dalmore and Angels Envy will always be in my bar. Also, for the Old Fashioned, instead of using simple syrup, try a brown sugar cube, pour the bitters on and mash it in your glass real good. Then pour on the whiskey, ice and your cherry/orange. I personally like the taste it gives a bit more than just using simp syrup.

The more subscribers Josh gets, the more cursed the edits are.

America : Goes to buy liquor 10 times in a months, he has a problem Ireland : Oh jaysus, slow month of seshs?

Woodford Reserve holds a special place in my heart. Although they are known for their bourbon and sponsored the KY derby in previous years, I would recommend their rye whiskey. It is a smooth sipping rye that would make even non-whiskey fans enjoy it. Another recommendation would be hands down Blanton's. A bit expensive, but worth it entirely.

This IS without a doubt the BEST culinary channel on the whole RU-vid. You achieved this while being DANK, mixing it with MEMES, and with some LUXURY gastronomy. Dude, you’re the best.

"No officer "I" am not drunk "WE" are drunk, thank you very much *whispers* b-roll"

"Drinking Whiskey and Whiskey Cocktails Guide " otherwise known as "The tax write off episode"

Doing YT videos to get paid about your interests while you get drunk & learn video skills all at the same time. This guy solved life.

3:17 i was not expecting the editing to amp how tipsy he is passed this point of the video 😂🍸

Josh: *walks into specs* Specs employee: ”Aw shit, here we go again”

Protip: Use brown sugar simple syrup for that Old Fashioned. It kicks it up to 11.

Love this channel one of my new favorites. Put a list of your whiskey selections in the description so I can buy them when I get back from my deployment in December

Can’t fool me with that “simp syrup”

A helpful tip for drinks that call for egg whites is to “dry shake” first. All this means is shake the cocktail mixture WITHOUT ice first. Basically this helps the egg white be frothier and better overall. Then add ice and shake again. Cheers!

If you want some scotch recommandations: Sweet, fruity and mild: Often produced within the Highland or Speyside-Region, and matured mostly in ex-Bourbon casks - Glenfiddich 15 - Balvenie 12 Double Wood - Aberfeldy 12 - Dalwhinnie 15 - Macallan Fine Oak 12 (overpriced as fuck, but if you can try it in a bar, go for it) More complex and a little bit stronger with more wood influence: Produced within the Highland or Speyside Region, and often matured or at least finished in ex-sherry or other types of wine casks (port, Bordeaux etc) - Glendronach 12 - Glenfarclas 15 - Benriach 12 - Glengoyne 12 - Dalmore 15 If you want some real deep and super complex premium stuff, go for older versions of these distillerys, like Glendronach 21 or Glenfarclas 25. Expensive as fuck and probably not the best choice for a total beginner, but that stuff taste like the nectar of god. Peated whisky: Mainly produced on the scottish islands, and therefore often has a slight maritime touch to it. Especially whiskys from islay have a very strong and distinct flavour . List goes from only a touch of smoke to licking an ash tray - Highland Park 12 - Talisker 10 - Lagavulin 16 - Ardbeg 10 - Laphroaig 10 The smoky flavour decreases with the time of maturation, meaning a 12 year old peated whisky has a stronger smoky flavour than an 18 year old whisky from the same distillery. Older peated malts can be super complex as well, but some of them (Ardbeg, Laphroaig) are really expensive.

I also went through this phase of exploration. It was a fun time and i was rather amazed on just how different each whiskey could be

Ive only just watched this masterpiece. What a journey. The drunk editing made me extremely happy

this dude perfectly combines millennial yt chaotic energy with actual talent

you can always tell how much sanity someone has lost when looking at the edits and how many have been added. Josh has -2000 sanity

before I started the video I literally poured myself some Angels Envy. To me, it incorporates all that I love about bourbon into it, with a little extra in the port wine barrel finishing!

Love the vids man, rediscovered your channel yesterday and watched alot of them. Just continuously. Keep up the good work

Me: now that I'm stuck at home I'm going to live cheaply, save money, and limit my spending to just essentials Also me: 7 bottles of new whiskey is definitely essential

fact: you were drinking whisky while editing this video

omg seeing josh loosing his sanity over 5 sips of whiskey is the biggest treat of 2020 XD

So let me tell you a story about Angel’s Envy: I was in an airport in the US, flying back home to Canada, and in it they have a shop there that sells some spectacular spirits (Duty free type thing but with a serviced bar). I was having a particularly rough day and was noticeably not at my best. I did see that they had Angel’s Envy listed on a shelf, but no bottles out and just simply asked if there was any floating around. The guy behind the counter said they were sold out and wasn’t sure when they’d be getting more. So I order some Jefferson similar to what Josh has in this video and sit down to wait for my flight. Thinking nothing of it. About 20 minutes go by and one of those airport golf carts pulls up, hands a small-ish box to the bartender and takes off. The bartender comes up, places a bottle of Angel’s Envy in front of me, and says “Managed to track one down. Hope your day gets better.” Let me tell you, buying that bottle is something I will never forget and that bourbon is one of the best I’ve ever had. Without QUESTION top 3. (Pappy van Winkle 23 Reserve and Michter’s 10 Year are the other two) However, Angel’s Envy literally made one of the worst days of my life better, and for that, $50 is a small price to pay and will always tell anyone to get a bottle of it if they get the chance.

"I want chocolate milk and whiskey" sorry I had to

“Simp Syrup”

Please make another video!! Enjoyed everything from the shopping, all the bottles on the table, to the neat drinking and cocktails.

Love your videos. I’ve been binging them! Found you while looking to try my hand at a sourdough starter

Josh: "We gonna stick to Bourbon, Scotch, Rye and Japanese Whisky" Me who drinks primarily Irish Whiskey:":(" By the way: When mixing a whisky sour or a new york sour with the addition of egg white, give it a dry shake first (without ice) add the ice after and shake again. Gosh, that's the first time I see Josh do something I think could be done better 😅 this guy's the GOAT of RU-vid Cooks

"...i got into whisky, it's never been a thing of mine..." BREAKING NEWS: florida man found drunk cooking a sprite cake in his car!

One of my favorite videos so far. It was simple, but the information was easy to digest and it was funny as usual XD

I recommend when making a whiskey sour with egg whites is to mix all the wet ingredients together to froth up the egg white more, then add the ice. Ive found that shaking the ice with the unmixed egg white will kinda start to make it like a scrmabled egg white

An Old Fashioned is improved so much by swapping the orange for lemon. Nontraditional, but a straight improvement imo. If you wanna get really Structure Chaotic you can sub the Ango for Peychaud's bitters as well, which I think suit the lemon better, and now you've got yourself my favorite cocktail though I think most would agree that it's no longer an Old Fashioned at that point

"ingredients you'll need: a better tolerance than me" love that

I just started watching these videos mainly for sourdough stuff. But, you are so good at RU-vid. I love your content. I love that you did a whiskey episode. Whiskey is awesome 😎. I sell alcohol as a sales person and am often tasting upwards of 15-20 different spirits in one sitting. I’ve learned how not to get drunk 🥴 or maybe my liver is pickled 🤷🏼‍♀️

Now I know the secret to Josh's great cooking and great interpersonal skills.

Josh next episode: We are getting a new apartment, or 907,185 grams of concrete

Damn last time I came this early my wife left me

Hey Joshua! Great vid as usual! Loving these easy walkthroughs. You think you can make one with Gin? Thanks and stay safe and sane! Much love from the Philippines!

Would definitely recommend the Dalmore Port Wood over the 15 year. It sounds like you really like finished stuff based on that Jefferson’s expression and the Angels Envy.

We need Josh getting progressively more hammered on IG live immediately.

I feel offended that Irish Whisky was not included... so no you didn’t taste them all 😂

Templeton rye is my favorite “inexpensive” rye whiskey. Also makes a DELICIOUS old fashion!

Quick bartender tip! When you’re shaking a cocktail that’s supposed to have a frothy foam presentation (the whiskey sour he made or even an espresso martini) shake it first with ice, strain it, then dry shake it, to get an extra foamy presentation 😊

Mom: what are you watching on your phone ? Me: a guy that is drinking whiskey

My wife’s boyfriend likes to drink.

As a bartender and whiskey drinker this is very informative to any beginner and I enjoyed watching it.

Joshua, can you do margaritas????? Like mango 🥭 & strawberry 🍓?? 👀🤓

You need to add an Irish whiskey to your collection. I’d recommend Redbreast 12 or 15 if you want to spend a bit extra.

He edited this drunk, tooo many effects lol

Just started smoking my glass before adding all my ingredients for the Old Fashioned, highly recommend it!

Highball is the move for sure. I prefer to stir the ice in the glass for a bit, pour out the little water from stirring, pour in the Whiskey (you should try the Nikka Coffey Grain as a highball!), then top with topo Chico or your preferred soda water, but it should be as highly carbonated as possible, then garnish with a lemon peel for scotch and most Japanese Whisky, lime peel for rye whiskey, and orange peel for bourbon. Should be a ratio of 1:4 whiskey to soda

7:06 The look on Joshua's Face with the little foam mustache just made my day... :)

So we're going to ignore the fact he made a SIMP syrup?

Josh drunk just makes him more wholesome

Love your videos amazing content, recommend a dry shake for about to minutes of just the eggwhite at room temputure and the temp of your hands will boost the fluffy texture. Then add all ingredients ice and strain with mesh cone and you will make perfect designs on the fluffy top . Enjoy

We’re 30 days into the apocalypse, trust me when I say NOBODY is a beginner when it comes to whiskey

Nobody: Absolutely nobody: Josh: "pIcHoN"

6:35 You can tell the Whiskey's really getting to him now, haha

For the whisky sour, you gotta shake without ice to create the foam if you add egg whites (also know as a dry shake). Then shake again with ice to get the dilution and chill.
