Hello herr Horst . I do really apreciate your job, sharing with us all your knowledge and experiences in the magnific world of whiskey. If you ever travel to Madrid it would be a honour for me shake your hand in the whisky shop in the Terminal 4 Madrid Airport
Mr. Luening I must thank you for the extremely useful program you are doing, and for the passion and wise you are conveying, not to mention the subtle sense of humour. Cheers!
I just started watching your channel a few days ago so this is perfect timing! Used your videos and your advice to pick out the Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban as my most recent purchase, which was an excellent choice. Thank you for the informative and relaxing videos!
I appreciate it greatly when whisky reviewers share what they personally prefer and collect. It gives us a way to know what your standards are and how to compare them to our own taste. I like rum so I enjoy Edradour finished in rum casks. But that's me. Thanks sharing your bar, even if it is just video👍Danke
10L of pure alcohol per year. If I've done the math correctly, that's roughly 475ml of whisky or 19 units of alco per week. It's higher than recommended intake which is 14 units per week
My Bar: Glen Moray 12, Talisker 10, Glenfiddich 15, J&B Rare, Auchentoshan American Oak, JW Black Label, Dewars 12. I know its not so impressive, but I am beginner with whisky.
If the younger whiskies oxidise faster than the older ones, so does that mean that the small amount of young whisky in the Macallan Ruby does oxidise faster than the older part and will change the complexity of the whisky? So it would mean that after the oxidisation of the younger whisky it could make the Ruby even better or with bad luck worse?
There my small collection JW Green label 2016 1L , Old green label 1L unopened, Talisker distillery Edition, The Hahushu single malt, Ardbeg 10 Year, American honey whisky (really sweet) unopened. I finished, JW double black and Talisker ten years old
I had about 4 bottles of bakers i drank it but i couldnt take to it like scottish whiskey maybe as i like peat. I just dont rate american whiskey bakers was nice but just like razors.
I try to limit my alcohol to three days a week. Usually whiskey occasionally beer or wine. I drink much beer becuase it's not o easy to drink. So im trying not to buy that very much 😂
2,5 liter a year?? Are you kidding with us? That's almost nothing at all. I drink about 1 liter every month, and I don't drink much at all, and I never get drunk. With 2,5 liter per year including other spirits, you hardly take one single dram a week :-/
So what do your friends and family ask for in your bar??? And bourbon really doesn't have the best reputation? Personally I've always felt bourbon had one of the better reputations.. Even the high dollar Scotch colors and chill filters its whiskey and Bourbon doesn't no??
Quacklebush I have tried many great bourbons. I think he is referring to the personal preference of his family and friends. Some just prefer scotch to all other whisky. For me it's a mood thing. Sometimes I prefer the stronger Oak influence of bourbon and typically higher ABV, plus here in Ontario it's more affordable than most scotch. So the value for money opened the door to bourbon discovery for me. In Europe it's perhaps harder to get American bourbon. So scotch and Irish whiskey is what they are accustomed to and their natural preference
Did anyone else hear that he doesn’t really drink much outside of his reviews? I really like his reviews, but I think to have more credibility you should be drinking more. I’ve also seen where he doesn’t finish some of his pours and mixes them into a bottle. Idk just weird.
Well He told in other video's that he does drink whisky at the evening off camera. But if he adds both those moments of drinking alcohol every week together with all tastings he does on camera. Like he explained, he will be consuming a high amount of alcohol in a year. And If u keep doing this for 35 years like him, I understand U want to slow down for health reasons
Ow and the Whisky pouring into a bottle is pretty common with whisky reviewers as they actually make this "Blend" out of all whiskies they try and from time to time they taste this blend they made.
