Some of these people just make crap videos for clicks. They say things with such conviction that are so wrong. The real whiskeytubers gotta sort things out. Thanks 'dic!

These guys who have no experience with whiskey makes these videos a waste of time. Thanks for clarifying things for viewers, bill. We need more people like you explaining things.

"I hate whiskey. Let's do a reaction video where we make comical faces as we drink stuff we hate." Great job!

So I used to watch your channel when you first started. I had to take a long break from whisky and with that I lost interest in whisky related content. Fast forward to today and your video pops up in my suggestions. Your presentation quality and confidence has increased so much, it's really awesome to see! Looking forward to being a regular viewer again!

Retail on Pappy 20 is 200 something, maybe 300. Nowhere near 1k let alone 3k.

Weller is perfectly fine. At retail price.

These dudes need to take an introduction to whisky class

I watched this video and thought of you too! I've learned so much about whiskey from your channel. I used to have the same reaction as these guys!

Just like black coffee, I didn't like the taste of straight whiskey at first. Now I love both of them (when they're quality), this is why the term "acquired taste" exists.

After enjoying Gin I fell in love right away with Lagavulin 16 and went from there with my beloved scotch! Loved it from the get go and I went right on to Laphroaig and Ardbeg! Great explanations Bill!! These guys don't come across as the brightest! Well that's not fair - they are just new to whisky! 🙂

I saw that video. It is clear that the purpose of it was to do something funny rather than educational, so they had to give whisky newbies firewater that would be hard to handle in order to see the reactions. It works - it is always fun to watch people try to cope with booze that they can't handle. The order of the tasting was all wrong. They started with some hard core stuff that will burn you out if you aren't prepared for such things. When that light Japanese grain whisky came along, I wasn't surprised that they liked it. It must have been a relief after tasting through the difficult whiskies that came before. However, it would have worked a lot better as a warm-up, and getting used to that whisky first might have made the more potent ones go down a little easier. I must admit that I'm a little curious about it; the price isn't out of line for a 30-year age statement. However, 40% ABV is too low, so it won't be optimally presented. I think the line-up suggested in this video would be a lot better for them or for anyone else who is getting started. Glen Grant has a good character. Though the 12-year is too watered down for my taste, the flavor is still there, and it would be a good choice for beginners. (I have an independent bottling of a 25-year Glen Grant that is wonderful.) Bunnahabhain is great too. I like the 18-year, but it has recently become absurdly expensive. Four Roses single barrel is also a great choice. It is readily available almost everywhere. When I put it side by side with Blanton's at a bar, Four Roses blew Blanton's out of the water. Blanton's is also good for beginners, but it is too hard to find, and Four Roses is a better choice anyway.

I had and liked the bunnahabhain 12 but I dont know what it was but it was kinda heavy for me it was tasty but I had like a heavy feeling in my stomach :) .... Others I need to try what you mentioned :)

Honestly hope these guys see this cuz it would be cool. The reason being: I hate these types of reaction videos. They aren't made to introduce folks into a wonderful world of a particular nuanced hobby or interest. This is also done with reactions to heavy metal music. They throw the most extreme thing they can at people with no knowledge or experience just for the sake of a reaction, then those people think THAT is what that thing is. Imagine if they'd given them Ardbeg?

Maybe make a cocktail with it? Is that such a blasphemy? I LOVE whiskey and scotch but I NEVER drink it straight. Make these guys a good whiskey cocktail and watch their minds change on the subject.

There’s definitely a gap for a video discussing much of the invented pomposity that surrounds whiskey. Older, usually British, gentleman outlining how to properly enjoy your whiskey, etc. For example almost everything associated with Scotch is invented 20th century British empire advertising reacting to the Irish war of independence. Only blends are Scottish - and even the column still central to their creation was invented by an Irish guy, but rejected by the Irish distillers as creating a “silent spirit” - everything else is Irish, including the use of peat to dry the barley. ‘Single malt’ is absolute marketing rubbish - blending spirit from one distillery, which could come from different stills in that distillery and barrels matured in different locations in that complex, doesn’t create some magic that taking a barrel from another distillery 500 yards down the road and blending it with your own can’t create. Distillers only began bottling their own products relatively recently, just over a century ago, prior to that you’d just dish it out usually to local pubs who’d ‘bond’ whiskey. Which is why you can find 200 year old port wine in any old restaurant in Portugal, but even a 100 year old bottle of whiskey is rare as hens teeth in spite whiskey being a high proof drink that won’t go bad if stored even mildly efficiently. (Port is higher proof than normal wine which is why it lasts like a spirit). Almost all brands, basic to what’s now viewed as luxury, bottled at bare minimum 40% well up into the 1980’s. Meaning younger consumers are actually more “sophisticated” drinkers than older, who’ve been drinking 40% chill filtered stuff that called “quality” most of their lives. Rant over!

That Four Roses is one of my favorites. Do you think something like Monkey Shoulder would work for them?

I cringe when someone who knows nothing about whisky makes a whisky video informing people (without knowing anything) and starts the video by saying "I hate whisky" 🤦‍♂

I was waiting for someone to comment on his video. This is great

Not sure why they did this. Didn't seem to change their opinions on whiskey so what is the point.

Is the TAH worth getting, and if yes, which bottle?

i mean, in short story they just don't like whiskey ... we know that their audiences mostly are young people early 20 - 30's max ... well they idolize their youtubers and think that their opinions are correct ...

I saw that Flag Hill bottle!😉

Very informative response!

George Dickle doesn't spell whisky with an "e". I am sure you know this as I watched a video you did on George Dickle. BTW George Dickle is now only 80 proof instead of 90. Shrink inflation? I used to drink George Dickle, but I stopped buying it because of the lower ABV.

Bourbon needs to be made in the United States, not just anywhere.

Larceny is the best whiskey for the price

Would you be insulted if I gave you a tip about grammar?

i think taking the opinion on a manchild that shares shitty opinions on the internet and shares them with similar audience is the wrong thing to do
