I often lick the outside of oranges and lemons myself. I've been banned from Tesco, Dunnes, Supervalu Lidl and Aldii They just don't understand me.

Have you tried any whiskeys you would call "super"?

Baby's first shaker 😂😂😂 Awesome list man, you've thought of everything!

I've just mate a terrible cocktail-shite thingy with rum martini rosso triple sec jb rum and orange juice. After I finish this I will definetly go make one of this since my original goal was making something other than negroni using vermouth. Thank you algorithm! (I've also wasted the rum a bit)

Terrific video Matt! I will add Maraschino cherries - terrific quality! Worth the price!

Other than what you mentioned, I'd say some Maraschino cherries. They're one of those overlooked elements that the home bartender might not have.

What home bar gifts would you recommend?

Redbreast Cuatro Barriles Edition...have never tasted anything so fine..❤❤

good times start with bad whiskey, great times well great whisky - Cam

If it's named after Churchill, it's gotta be strong!

What's your favourite Scotch cocktail?

Yeah i like little bottles for trying out cocktails I agree

This sounds yummy! I love lime!

Is getting a bottle of this free good or any other whiskey

I'd have to upgrade all of these ingredients! Cheers!

In Hell all the shelves are stocked with nothing but Johnnie Walker Red. A bit surprised that you just didn't upgrade to The Black as it's not that much more expensive than The Red, especially since it's the base of the cocktail. Glad to hear that you enjoyed the cocktail. I will have to give this a try. There is a tale involving Sir Winston and his preferred recipe for a Martini when he was asked how dry he would like his martini, where he told the bartender to pour a shot of gin into a chilled martini glass, look in the direction of Italy, and hand him the glass. Thus, I am surprised that the creator of this cocktail used any vermouth at all.

This one looks good need a new bottle of scotch

Nice one Matt this is a really tasty one! If you want some peat, the Lum Reek 10 Blended Malt CS is also from Glenallachie so you might enjoy that. Aberlour A'Bunadh is also a solid choice. Cheers!

Coming back to this a year later after pucking up a bottle. I love it. I 100% get your notes, especially the stewed plums and the mouthfeel. I also get a lot of that teeling poitin from memory which i guess was the original spirit put in cask. Also love the achill island bordeaux finish and the green spot finishes (that everyone loves)

Have a couple different batches of this one stashed in my cabinet. This is how a sherried scotch should taste imho. Even managed to buy batch no 1 about a year ago for the original price.

Great review. This looks like a winner. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

Love the stuff. Also worth a look is the GlenScotia Victoriana, Benromach CS and the Glendronach CS. All.NAS, but very tasty.

What's your favourite cask strength scotch?

this sounds different and great. thanks for the review. cheers

Nice one guys! I have a miniature of this one so now that I know your take on it I think I'll crack it open 😃 Cheers!

I've only had a few Japanese releases. In the entrance or mid range I have not been impressed yet. Good, not great, and very expensive. I'm sure the higher priced ones are much better. For now, my favourite by far is Nikka from the Barrel.

This and five farms by far the best out there

I love Yuzu as a flavour

Matt, this looks great

What's your favourite Japanese inspired cocktail?

I've never seen this bottle before

My favorite might be Athru...or anything else from Cooley ;) Would love to see a "TOP 5 Most underrated Irish Whiskeys"

Nikka is pretty good, even the less expensive ones

If I'm sitting down at home and I want to pour an Irish and I have these five, It would be the Redbreast Cask Strength each and every time. If I'm having a boilermaker, it would be Jameson. Tullamore usually leaves me wanting more. Proper 12 is one to pass on and I haven't had a Bushmills in so long I can't even comment on it really. A solid list to be certain, Matt! Cheers to ya.

Have you tried any good Japanese whiskeys?

Is Paddy's completely gone?

Great to see you both and hear all about this one.

So far Bushmills Single Malt 10 years. Neat of course. It is sad that the most sold Irish whiskey is the only Irish whiskey I consider not drinkable. It really has a weird taste which I really don't like and it's not as smooth as other irish whiskets.

My favourite Irish whiskey-too many to mention 😊. Basically, I choose from those „6% of what remains” as You say, whiskies. Usually I stay away from 40ABV whiskies (exceptions are Writer’s tears cooper Pot and The Irishman The Harvest-those two are (very) good). I call core range Jameson whiskies “wasted potential”-they could be so much better at higher strength and no chill-filtration. No offence-just my personal opinion 😊.

My favourite is redbreast 12. Iove it but sometimes I'm underwhelmed by it depending on the day.

Tullamore D.E.W. is my go to whiskey, and has been for ~25 years. Standard Bushmills is fine. Black Bush is much better. Paddy is another decent entry level Irish that is common and affordable here in northwestern Illinois. I do not care for the standard Jameson, but the Stout Cask finish really is quite nice. I recently acquired my first bottle of the Red Breast cask strength and, no surprise, I quite like it. The $95 price tag ensures that it will be a special occasion dram though. I have yet to try the Proper Twelve as I haven't heard a single positive review of it.

I’d like to apologize on behalf of Americans for the popularity of Proper Twelve. We can clearly do better. 😂

oh cool list. I need to try more Irish Whiskey. thanks for sharing cheers

Great video as always. Shocked about Proper Twelve. I bought a bottle when it first came out under Conor McGregor. Absolute garbage. I know he sold it and it might be better but will be hard for me to part with my money to buy another bottle. The misleading "Twelve" on the bottle doesn't help either. Now for me I love Irish Whiskey. So many good ones to choose from. At the moment, Green Spot holds my top spot. Cheers from Canada!

Mostly entry level offerings from absolutely stunning distilleries. As for proper 12, it’s not a challenging whiskey, but it has a challenging background. Best to leave aside any spirit that’s more marketing than anything else.

It makes me sad that proper 12 is what people think of when they think Irish whiskey in the usa, its commercial rubbish. Standard Jameson is miles better and redbreast is what people should think of when they think Irish whiskey

I was very pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed Busker Triple Cask when I ordered it in a bar. I just thought it went down very nicely. Now, maybe it was because I had no expectations but I was pleased to see it in your list of awards (Blend Non Age Statement under 50 euros)..I enjoyed your take on the whiskey winners too...

My favorite Irish whiskey is Powers Johns Lane and Redbreast 12 Cask Strength, always on my shelf

What's your favourite Irish Whiskey?

This looks awesome, and I'm glad a little yuzu juice goes a long way because the stuff is expensive!
