Whiskey Mooch status: Legendary. Ready to see how age changes Scotch whisky? We just scored a 10, 18, and 43 year old Talisker, and secretly poured them in a blind tasting with some whiskey friends, new and old. Thanks to the bottle shipping glory of ReserveBar for making this happen! We grabbed a ReserveBar PROMO CODE for you too. Just use the code "TRIBE15 " and get $15 off any order of $75+ on ReserveBar.com

@ToomanyFrancis Жыл бұрын

Slurping is very important in tea and coffee tasting, even Starbucks baristas are taught the slurp. I was a bit surprised when I started learning about whiskey tasting and nobody was slurping, but it makes sense. Slurping gets more air into your mouth and forces you to breath in through your nose as you're tasting, then the continued slurp aerates it and lets it cool off, temperature actually has a huge impact on your sense of taste. With whiskey there's no need to cool it, so the extra slurp doesn't do as much.

The moment Brianna said "Air sticky", I immediately had a flashback to my last deployment in the US Navy. We went to 8 or 9 different countries in Southeast Asia that summer, but "Air sticky" is a spot on description for Thailand in July. I remember it being 95°F or more every day and just when you thought the humidity couldn't be any worse (we were required to wear long pants and collared shirts, by the way), out of nowhere it would start raining for 5-10 minutes and quit. The steam coming off the pavement and metal roofs made it almost difficult to breathe, like if you took too big a sip of Stagg Jr.

@@jhenke83 pretty good actually, I have had some old Wild Turkey before that was in a ceramic decanter but unfortunately had a cork lid and the cork degraded over time and left sediment in the whiskey. The James beam in the ceramic decanter that I opened had a thread style lid with the foam/plastic seal so the whiskey started out already better. The taste was very good, still had a sweet taste to it with a strong smoke flavor, didn't taste degraded very much as it was in the dark ceramic bottle.

I've always thought that Talisker is one of those distilleries where there's less of a difference between the 10yo and their 18yo than most. Which makes Talisker an odd choice for such an experiment. The super old stuff can be spectacular though - although even the 25yo is far too expensive for me :-) I'm glad that someone actually opened a bottle of Xpedition though!

@mentalrectangle 2 жыл бұрын

Agreed. Talisker 10 is a very solid whiskey in its own right. Usually I don't like even the 12s from a lot of major Scotch distilleries but despite being a mere 10 years, it packs more flavor and subtlety than a lot of 16 year whiskeys out there.

How: Daniel and Rex are handcuffed together from the time they get out of bed in the morning until the time to go to bed at night ( or until the end of the whiskey tasting). They eat the same things, breathe the same air and drink the same things. This should provide umber one, that eating and drinking the same provide the same whiskey tasting and number two, some fun hijinx.
