Reck the house juice

I feel like I would buy every Thompson Bros. that came my way. Sounded good. Mmmm crumpets. I have not had that in a while. Lots of butter. Yep, that would be good.

It’s definitely scone. As in: There once was a man called Ron who was the victim of financial con he bought shares in a shop that continued to flop something blah de blah de blah scone

“If a mint humbug came to life “ 🤣😂😂🤣absolute KZfaq genius I’m loving it really loving it. Keep them coming cheers 🥃

I'm guessing that this is the same in 2024? Waiting for the postman on this, excited. Fascinating to see this develop over the years.

Badgers do NOT good pets make. Cute. Stripey. Rip your face off soon as look at you. Moe agrees. The Thompson Bro's trickle has yet to make it here. Surprised? Didn't think so. Haven't had Blair Athol, but that's okay. He's probably not my type anyway! Cheers John 🥃😁🥃 Marian 🇨🇦

What are everyone's thoughts on Badgers?

Oat milk? You should have used dog milk

This guy ranks 18 last and doesn’t watch GOT? We are definitely not in the same tribe. JW 18 is one of my favorites, followed by green, then blue. The rest I ignore. But again….different people have different tastes.

I’ll start with I didn’t complain about the light but I must say it’s great to see your handsome face in better light ( compliment not stalking please don’t block 🤣) love the videography much better. Fantastic fantastic fantastic again. Really entertaining,really informative love it. Some really interesting whiskey fantastic and I love your knowledge 🥃👍

Blended whiskys was here before the malts are you a malt snob?

Interesting to hear a bit of the 'other' side of whisky collecting. From behind the bar, as it were. Have found several extraordinary whisky bars over this past year, one in Toronto and another in a small town called Meaford, on the Bruce Peninsula northwest of T.O.. Tried some beauties in both. Favourites were a 25 Brora 1975-2001 IB by Douglas McGibbon & Co. (just...WOW), and a Craigellachie 19 1993-2012 (G&McP bottling). Mortlach 22 and an unpeated Caol Ila both also excellent. None of these drams, by the way, were cheap. But hey, you only live once! Enjoyed the run through of your list. Great to see an upload from you, as always...and also nice to see you looking somewhat less dark and blurry 😉 Cheers John! 🥃🥃 Marian 🇨🇦

I think you mean the former rather than the latter.

Love the new lightening. Excellent!

That was good! What auction sites would you recommend?

It was really lovely Vlog John. I watched you with pleasure, some brilliant whiskies. I need to explore some SFTC Edradour. Can confirm, Ardnahoe is Amazing. While watching i sipping new Ardna the Midgie and nose is nice but im not convinced for the taste yet, its neck poor, maybe thats why. Back to your video we need more stuff like this with reviews of some these gorgeous bottles you talked about. Cheers and Slàinte 😁🥂🥂🥂🙋‍♂️

Love the segment John!! This is a lovely dram!! Love your videos! 🙂

What a list! So many gems there and so many I will never get. Still, fun to hear about. Thanks for sharing, cheers!

These sounds like amazing scotch whiskies! I have had some! I can't wait until I can get the Ardnahoe 5 year old in Canada! Love Islay peated scotch!! Love the Edradour - first one mentioned! Awesome video! Cheers! 🙂

I loved it, love the idea and looking forward to the next episodes cheers 🍻🥃👍

Here for the ramble - less fussed about the direction you choose to take. Whatever doesn't burn you out.

I think non-alcoholic spirits may also be more expensive because you need more herbs to get the same concentration of flavors as water-based distillation is a less efficient process. Regarding the taste, I would certainly not drink them neat, but some like Seedlip that have a "natural" aroma are quite nice in a mixed drink with tonic. It is important not to compare it to regular cocktails, but to other non-alcoholic alternatives like plain tonic water, lemonade etc.

Like the idea, more please.

Taste cheap

I like the concept. Photos of the pub would be nice, as would better lighting for you.

Sort your lighting out John - you're way to handsome to be so dark and noisy...you only need a lamp.

Relax. The segment was ok. You still need the light panel for your talking head bit though. Keep going, your rambling stream of consciousness is really refreshing.

I heard the legend of malort for decades before trying it. Then at a grocery atore tasting I tried it, aftee receiving all of the warnings. So my expectations were in the range of bitter musk. When I tasted it was like yellow grapefruit pith with simple syrup, mixed with floral gin and with a hint of pine. Which isn't that bad compared other spirits and beers. I have had far worse it is better than an several American IPA, low end whiskey, low quality malt liquors, most artificially roasted malt beers, and cheap tequila. I recommend mixing it with st Germain, gin, orange simple syrup, and some club soda. That way you can lean into it's bitter quality to had complexity, like adding grapefruit bitters to sprizer.

Come for the whisky leave with an Airfryer. I guess I need a hobby.

Thanks for these recommendations, I’m pretty new to actually appreciating whisky rather than drinking to get drunk. I’m never going to be spending £100+ for a bottle of anything so finding stuff like this is brilliant. Cheers

what the hell is an airfryer

Good sound

Your channel would attract so many more subs if you invested in a light panel. They are informative with a wink of the eye. Nice one.

Good conversation and welcome to hear about different, yet affordable Scotch. Cheers!

I wish I could access these scotch expressions in Canada. If I can find them in a specialty spirit shop I source out at times they will be a lot more expensive - lots of taxes!

I enjoyed the vid, so I definitely need a hobby, more listicals please.

Old man and long time scotch drinker here. All I can tell you is most blended scotch in the USA has gotten worse. JW Red was a pretty decent drink decades ago. Now it tastes like slightly flavored alcohol. The only JW Scotch I like now are Black and perhaps Double-Black. The rest are not worth the price. You should know that I always preferred Dewar's White label Scotch but that has become completely undrinkable since the company wast taken over by Bicardi. It is just really bad. Oh and BTW- I always drink my Scotch neat.

Black & White had some of the best ads in the 80s…they certainly don’t make them like that anymore. Very bold and innovative for the time.

Drank it in the 70’s when I was a teenager with a lemon twist. It’s a classy liquor. I love it. Time for a bottle.

I'm sold.

I had Scottish cream once in the early 90's I've not seen one liquor store in the town I live in that carries Scottish cream. The last clerk had never heard of it. It's true. Scottish cream is so much better.

You want offensive? Try Chinese Moutai. Not much on the nose, but in the mouth the flavour can only be described as vomit and it clocks in at 53% alcohol.

I still enjoy this one. Good to hear your thoughts and sounds like you will not re-buy. Sorry you were down for this one. Cheers!

Lmfao you killed me on "this can kill a bitch," yeah bro it's a bit more expensive then it should be jw blue taste fantastic but paying 200 us dollars a bottle it is definetly out priced lol

You were much too sober to drink Malort.

7 quid flat in my co op... bought 2 crates. For coffee n nails that rust .its the islay is the medicinal nptes . herbal..love islay .love isla coffee..7 quid!??!!!????. ???? yeah 7 .flat

Malört. Ö not O .

I just got a whole bottle from my brother in US. :)

I had way too high expectations of this (because of Ralfy, First Phil, and plenty others), so I was very disappointed at first, but it grew on me. What I did last week was to pour the rest of the bottle over in an empty 20 cl. I guess about 19 cl, and I topped the bottle with about 1 cl of GlenAllachie 10 (Batch 6). Tried it today, and man… that was special. Like drinking strawberry sauce or something 😂

Trying to pick up women 🤣😂😂🤣i think I’m lucky enough to not had a whiskey that’s got that nose 😤taste sounding better thanks for the review cheers 🥃I’m definitely subscribe and a MASSIVE fan ( not to be confused as a stalker 🤣)
