What style of whiskey do you want to see next?
Japanese Whisky
Although not a whisk(e)y, something close by like tequila.
Bourbon and Scotch.
@@maritimeus Easy there, Ralfy 😆
Coming from Scotland, we have a great range of whiskies, but I prefer Irish whisky, because it's more gentle on the throat.
I agree. I'm drinking it right now. So smooth for the money.
Regular Jamason whiskey is still one of the best whiskey's ever. To me.
It always makes me feel good and induces a rate type of happyness in me.
I love it. This is where The Whiskey Dictionary shines! Just good information distilled (😅) down to a single video. Thanks for the education ❤
Thanks WhispyWoods
Great video Bill it was perfect-I’d love to see more videos like this”Please”-and thanks again mate 👍
Thanks. Just bought Jameson Black per your recommend. and I have also tried Bushmills Prohibition. Great video as I venture into Irish.
Super great idea! This is gonna bring so many new viewers to your channel. And excellently executed!
Here's hoping! And thank you
Should do similar short videos for each region or type and then follow it up with a series for each region with breakdowns/visits/tastings of each distillery...would give you content for years I think, 😊
Loved this! Very informative, makes me want to try/compare the different types of Irish whiskey 🥃
Stick to pot still or blended imo :)
Thank you! 🥃
The Fighting 69th is my favorite Irish whisky at the moment. Of you haven't tried it, it's worth the low entry fee.
Really great job .. thank you
Thanks Leonard
Power's Gold label is still my daily sipper.
I enjoy the informative content. Keep up the good work. This channel has helped me to build a fantastic whisk(e)y collection.
You can blame me later :)
And excellent overview. I'd like to see these for all possible kinds of whiskey. Are there more in this vein, or is this the first one?
This is the first, but more to come! This took a long time, but was fun to make
Writer's tears is one of my favorites
Never knew 99% of this thank you 😅
“There's some take delight in the carriages a rollin'
And others take delight in the hurly and the bowling
But I take delight in the juice of the barley
And courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early”
Im from Scott bloodline but find myself drinking the Irish whiskey on occation due its smooth drink like some have noted below...but with all things please in moderation and for the Americans dont drive (Scotland and Ireland are super strict on the DWI)
I loved the overview, but I did have a question. Are column stills very associated with Scotch Whiskies? I know single malt scotches primarily use a pot still, so is it the larger grain whiskies that use column stills?
I typically associate column stills with bourbon, but I've only been to a few distilleries.
They're used everywhere. Personally, I associate them with Canadian. However, tons of grain whisky comes out of Scotland, and those are made in column stills
Tullamore Dew got me through college 😂
As an Irishman I approve this message 🙂👍
I've come to learn that you all are harsh critics. This is high praise.
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary Depends who you talk to like anywhere. Like fb groups real life whisky groups can be a pain in the proverbial too
Irish whiskey is the best whiskey for me, it's just goes smoothly on my throat, i do love tennessee and scotch whiskey but it''s just too spicy for my baby throat lol
Give every man his Dew.
The Catholics distill Jamison in Southern Ireland and is preferred by the Protestants in Northern Ireland. Bushmills, distilled in Northern Ireland, is preferred by the Catholics in Southern Ireland. It's an Irish thing.
Why Bourbon has fructose is it good for your
No fructose in bourbon. Not sure what you think I said, can you let me know?
never felt prouder of my irish heritage
Wondering since I always have a bottle in my golf bag in case of snake bite, guessing the Irish started making whiskey BEFORE St Pat drove out all the snakes 🐍 out??
That supposedly happened in the 5th century, so not likely.
I wish the Irish💰 had moved some of their whiskey making traditions to #Canada🇨🇦 and have their company listed on the #TorontoStockExchange💰 so we all Irish at heart👍🏼 can benefit from liquid gold🤳🏼... #MeridianCU🌎💘💰
Is it just me or do Irish whiskeys seem weak? I tried Bushmills Black and it smelled great, but it was like I was drinking water.
Good beginner info re the distilling process, but y'all ignored the aging process. that's a huge factor.
Absolutely. Only had 3 minutes and this was more about what makes Irish Whiskey unique
Is any Irish whiskey peated?
Very few. Connemara is. I prefer the no age statement to the 12 year. I did a review on both if you want to look them up
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary Thank you!
@jameslaughlin3298 cheers!
Irish whiskey is pretty boring to me. Not many flavors to be had but might be the one that I’ve tried. Just bland.
try green spot and redbreast lustau
Amen!
Powers John’s Lane Edition is extremely tasty imo. Not boring at all
You've tried one Irish Whiskey and you're dismissing the whole industry as boring?
@@adammartin7007 Nah, I’ve tried several now. Mostly just meh, IMHO. Even most of the Redbreast line.
We Europeans have always, either innocently, or maliciously and horrifically, been culture appropriators. That's why we're mostly Christian. Sounds like a kitschy thing to say, but you'd be hard-pressed to prove me wrong.
This isn’t a European only phenomenon. Every culture throughout history borrows heavily from others. Should we now begrudge others the technological advancements originating in western countries because we’d not want to have them be guilty of being cultural appropriators?
woke woke woke please keep well away
What does this mean?
