Despite her moments of utter goofyness, her pallet has gotten so good. I think her brains ability to recognize and identify flavors and her ability to "Mouth" has grown exponentially the past 12 months.
But you do wish she'd say less.
@@jamesprice4647 Nah, she is super fun imo
Love every time Briana shows up. Her opinions are essential. Also total chaotic energy.
I think Caol Ila 12 gets overlooked quite a lot (from Islay). Loch Lomond really surprised me as well, if you find their sampler with a NAS, 12, 15 and 18 pick it up! :)
Underrated is going to bed early because you are tired, it is such a luxurious feeling!
I was given a 200ml sampler by the manager at my local liquor store. Holy hell it's good.
You just name the exact 2 I would have chosen! Caol Ila and Loch Lomand!
@@lubetester nice! The bottles were really low priced here in Sweden for some odd reason, so I picked up the 15 year for $42, seems like an error because the 12 is $53 (I am not complaining though)
Loch Lomond 12 is one of my top 3 favorite scotches. And at the price, you can't beat it.
Yo, lubetester. " Holy Hell"--Whaaattt, freaking 😂 hilawious, ( Elmer Fudd's words, not mine)
One that I am a huge advocate for is the glenscotia double cask. It's a really good mix of sherry and bourbon. Kind of similar territory of thamdu with a little extra bourbon on it
Underrated: taking the last lady home from the bar and having a wonderful experience.
Love Auchentoshan. Used to be one of my favorite distilleries, and would get their American oak and bartenders edition a lot.
I'm a total noob to the whiskey world so I've only tried 2 & both were Jack Daniel's lol. They made a southern pecan whiskey & I knew after the 1st sip that I could get in trouble with it because it was smooth with a nutty flavor.
Most underrated life moment: Trying on tennis shoes and finding the perfect one that makes your feet sigh. I call it the footgasm 'cause when you put them on you're like "Oh yeah!" 😆
Most underrated experience is when you eat really spicy, like maybe even a little too spicy, and then that relief high you get on the other side when the heat is gone.
Yay endorphins!
Connemara... freaking awesome and 30 bucks! Favorite underrated thing, being by myself.
Connemara is irish
@@charlieschmitt1420But it’s Scotch adjacent.
Bandaids Amd burning bath mats, sry not.
Great dog name. I can just see the owners calling to their dog.... "Let's go Brendon!"
It’s funny, as soon as I saw the Glenrothes come out I was like, oooh I like that bottle. But immediately after I said that Daniel said that may be why people would overlook it lol.
bunnahabhauybahaha was a pleasant surprise for me too. You just don't expect an unpeated Islay. And its lovely.
Craigellichie 13. I don't see it much anywhere, but it's a gem in my opinion.
The Tribe would probably disagree on this being underrated, but far too few regular people know about Johnnie Walker Green Label, I've got an emotional attachment to it and it'll always be one of my favorites. And my underrated feeling in everyday life is when you're riding in the car with a friend and they're like "Hey, I'm gonna stop for a coffee." Or whatever and there's playful back and forth of you not wanting anything so you don't impose, but they twist your arm and convince you to get a snack and you both enjoy your little fat-kid moment together.
@@DJMarcO138 it's on my list to try every one in the main line up, so of course Blue is on the list, but Green is just a damn fine blend.
Drinking this RIGHT NOW!! Absolutely agree, the green is phenomenal!
Green label would be mine and my wife's number 1 choice bar none... I was so sad to hear they discontinued making it. They started it up again and I hope they don't give me another heart attack in the future
I'd drink 4 Green than 1 Blue. Blue is not 4x better.
100% agree it's underrated, especially if you get it for a reasonable price. Hard to beat what it brings to the table at that $$
Old Pulteny 12 is quite underrated. A great highland malt monster.
Another I’ve known about forever, and have heard only good things, but always pass over. I think I usually go for bourbon when spending some money for whiskey, since it’s relatively cheaper where I live
Agreed! Old Pulteny 12 is highly underrated. Such a class whisky that every whisky aficionado should try.
I've only had the Bunnahabhain 12 out of all of these. I like it a lot, and will probably always have a bottle on my bar.
I've just picked up a bottle and I love it. Made me want to try more of them
Bunnahabhain is a great distillery.
Glenmorangie 14. The Quinta Ruban. A very decent whisky that I think is underrated.
I probably shouldn't share this because it flies under the radar and I like it that way. Craigellichie 13 is so good and unkown.
I do like that one, but it's not friendly nor an easy sipper. It's got character. A dram to be analyzed.
I was just about to comment the same thing. Such a crazy value as well.
I tried this and it had that acidity and taste of "I just thew up in my mouth a little". I have never disliked an age statement scotch so much.
Michter's Bourbon is underrated because it is overshadowed by the American. The most underrated life moment is when you defecate and the TP is clean on the first wipe.
Bidets are underrated in the US. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it.
I've got one and love it. Life changing.
@@billsedutto8824 I hate pooping at work (I still do it) because there's no bidet, so I carry baby wipes on me
But then you still wipe two or three more times to make sure it wasn’t a lie. It feels like somehow I’ve cheated the world.
I love the Daniel views a driver letting him in as a driver failing to block him in traffic.
They probably waved at him to let him in and everything, and then "Wow, this guy sucks at accelerating." lol
It’s nice to see an episode that’s really about whiskey. Rather than just Rex throwing handfuls of Bisquick at Brianna or seeing if lollipops will distill.🤣🥞🍭
I understand what but this channel has always been about well shenanigans the vault is the whisky reviews
It’s about whiskY, not whiskEy 😉
@@shaggy-wb1yn That’s true, but there was also “unpretentious whisk(e)y knowledge.“ In the early days of the channel there’d be something interesting and informative, followed by “top shelf shenanigans.“ You’d learn all about how a barrel is constructed and why aging is so important, and then they would take a flamethrower and try to re-create different char levels. Or rapid age using saw dust.🤣 I learned a lot watching this channel. I’m all for the shenanigans, but I like it when they strike a balance. For me it’s more engaging. And most of the time they still do. I was exaggerating a little bit for comic effect😉
Glengoyne 12. It's my absolute favorite whiskey, and most people have no idea it even exists. Daniel and Rex, you guys reviewed it way back in the day and LOVED it.
I didn't know they had a 12! I've got the 10, 18, 21, and 25 in my home bar right now, and had no idea there was a 12. Now I'll have to seek it out.
I had the pleasure of going on a tour and tasting at Glengoyne this past July, and I found that the 12 was far and away my favorite of what I tried.
The cask strength Glengoyne 12... lovely
YES~!!! finally, a fellow Glengoyne lover~
@@ericjones6596 they also have a 15y old in the core range ;-)
Underrated whiskey... The Sexton Irish whiskey. The bottle design of it is either love it or hate it, but they whiskey itself is delicious for a decent price. Underrated experience, getting caught in a sudden downpour of rain. Some people would hate that, but I always book it to get back inside and laugh at how drenched I've gotten.
Kilcholman Machir Bay, Turning over your pillow on a hot summer night and having a cool pillow to fall asleep on.
Looks like the heaviest weight these guys picked up is a bottle
The Bunna12 is just so damn good. And I'm happy that I don't have to hunt for it. Pretty much any decent supermarket has it for around 40-45€.
Fun fact! The Deanston Distillery is walking distance from Doune Castle where they filmed Monty Python & The Holy Grail.
Absolutely agree with that bunnahabain. I think it's better than the classic laddie, and talked about much less
That was my question too.. Need to compare!
Honestly I fell in love with the Islay region for all the known reasons and then I bought Bunnahabhain 12 on a whim because I needed more to cover shipping costs.... (hehe) and I keep reaching for that bottle! It makes me so happy! The coffee in the aftertaste ahhh
I saw Animal House in a near empty theater on it's opening day. I was able to hear every joke, every line and enjoyed the hell out it. I saw it again in a crowded theater and they missed most of the jokes because they were still laughing at one two or three scenes ago.
Daniel likes Distell! :) Buna and Deanston. Both 46.3% ABV. Both amazing! Btw, Bunna isn't underrated by any stretch. The connoisseurs loooove it and is always a staple.
Glen Garioch 12. Fantastic at an affordable price point. Non-chill-filtered and 48%.
Not a Scotch, but Knappogue Castle 16 is a massively underrated Irish whiskey. I've only ever seen it at one liquor store where I am but there's always a bottle in my liquor cabinet. I'm definitely gonna keep an eye out for Bunnahabhain because I want to like Islays, but Ardbeg 10 is just too smokey to drink on its own. In a smoked mapled Old Fashioned? Sure, but I'd prefer to sip my whisk(e)y.
I feel like I'd enjoy Bunnahabhain
Deanston 12 was what I thought of when I saw the title, super glad to see it in the video. Grabbed a bottle once just to get something different and immediately became one of my favorites. Great easy drinker for a good price that will always be in my cabinet!
I feel like there’s a waiver you need to sign at the gate. “Not responsible for any antics you see out of these two”. See, didn’t even have to tell you which two.
When you said "Brandon" I thought I was going to meet the dog. Pretty disappointing it was just some guy talking about shipping🤣
Does Brianna have a RUclips channel I’d love to follow her. Love her opinion on the whiskey and bourbon you all try.
Love these episodes so much more than the "We distilled x..." episodes. Bravo.
glenmorangie 14 year old port cast just hits all the right notes for me most people I talk to never heard of it. Most unrelated experience that first sip of coffee in morning on your day off.
Please do a video on the best whiskey bottles to use as decanters. Really loving the bottles on this episode.
Any of them. A decanter is just a look at me with my decanter. Best use realistically for one is your daily tbh.
Old fitz
Glenturret has awesome bottles to use as decanters
Hibiki harmony
Jack Daniels single barrel bottles would work well I think.
Underrated finally getting that persistent booger from the nostril, and it's a long one. So satisfying.
I’d argue the Bunnahabhain Stiuireadair is even better than the 12. Very underrated and very cheap.
Deanston 12 is such a wonderful selection. I got the bottle as a gift and was blown away by it, and now I'm looking to collect more Deanstons
Also, an underrated single malt is Tomatin, at any age proof. Wish more people would try it.
Yes! Tomatin! Especially the 14yr. Punches way above it's price point.
0:44 I'm starting to suspect she likes scotch. And free stuff.
Kilkerran Heavily Peated or Longmorn16
Glen Garioch 12 - it's just under the radar, but an authentic and robust Highland Single Malt. Ledaig 10 from Isle of Mull is also great value, I even like it more than many 10yo from Islay.
Wow. Those are my exact 2 choices as well.
Benriach The Smoky Ten - a great combo that you don’t see often: a peated speyside. A combination of peated and unpeated malted barely spending ten years in a combination of bourbon barrels, Jamaican rum casks, and toasted virgin oak. So underrated, especially if you’re a fan of Islay.
Regular BenRiach 10 is also underrated. Great budget scotch.
I love the Smoky 12, haven't tried the 10 yet. Will pick up soon. 😌
If you like smoky speysides look for Old Ballantruan from Tomintoul Distillery, I have had both and Old Ballantruan is head and shoulders above the Benriach.
@@samuel_excels wow, and that's saying A LOT🙄👽🥃!!
You really should try the Benriach The Smoky 12. After my first few nudges off that bottle, it will be in my liquor cabinet until they quit making it. Truly a special smokey scotch whisky.
I love the list. Usually in the stores. I always recommend all of them depending on what person is looking for, Even though I'm not working there one more I want to mention Port Askig 110. When you're sitting and fishing for hours and nothing and finally you got one!!!!
I’m not sure I would call _anything_ from Campbeltown “accessible”…
To be fair, they typically don't restrict access to raging tire fires.
Good old Chivas Regal 12 for me. Beautiful mouthfeel, not too much grain, wethers original caramel on the mouthing 😂
That and Old Pulteney definitely
I love me some Aberfeldy 12 😊 very easy sipping, sweet little highland single malt. It has everything I look for in a highland, and I can get it for $38~$45 here in Florida
Agreed
I agree with the human names for dogs, I was walking my friends dog with him and we came across a fully grown black labrador named Greg, highlight of 2022
Most underrated scotch is Ancnoc 12. Some serious honeyed white dessert wine vibe with this ash and black pepper vein. Under $50 for me. Love it.
The most underrated satisfactory experience has far more to do about now.
Just picked up a bottle and it's damn good
I totally get that "not dying" thing. I was at the climbing gym one day, trying an auto-belay climb that was at my limit. It required a toe-tip back-step while nearly fully extended sideways. I had tried and not made it twice, then made it on the third shot. I was going to go for a dynamic move to a two-digit-deep handhold when one of the staff told me, "Hey, you're supposed to be clipped in for that one!" I forgot to clip in, and at that point was 20 feet in the air, just about to jump (it later took me 5 tries to make the jump successfully). Fortunately, there was an easy route right next to mine that I could down-climb, but I was shaking at the end of it. Felt weirdly good about having executed the move while accidentally free-soloing, though.
I would need a whisky and quiet reflection after that. Maybe open a gem I was saving. Glad you didn't fall.
Bunna is one of my fav scotches. Sometimes hard to find here locally.
I LOVE BUNNAHABHAIN 😆 Glad they’re on the list. They recently released a 12yr Cask Strength which is ✨AMAZING ✨ found it at Total Wine for $80
Bunnahabhain... I need to go seek that out...
7 year Jim Beam Distillers' Series 100°
During the ShipStation Ad:
Briana: “Ah geez, just in time, Brandon!”
Rex: “Come over here, Brandon!”
Not me thinking: Brandon the dog with the human name?!
Daniel poured my first Bunnahabhain 12 in the old original vault years ago. I fell in love with it and keep it in my bar to this day. Great stuff, we call it "The Bunny" lol
I am not going near anything that is only 40%
Benromach will be the next Springbank.
That scream in the intro is how I feel inside.
Old Parr 12. So under-rated!
If you start out with Auchentoshan, you've got my attention. Up there with Tomatin and Cardhu for underrated scotches.
TX would be my most underrated. As far as experience, when you're hitting a turn pretty fast and you get your truck's weight set perfectly in the turn, so even though you're going fast, you're not sliding or pulling.
Glen Garioch 12 - Best 12 year I know.
Dewars Double Double 21 year - I think they only come in 375 ml but goddamn.
I really loved the Bunnahabhain 12 when I sampled it (I've been meaning to buy a full bottle for my own shelf for a while now, but needed to get a few other scotches first). Another that I really like that others say they dislike or simply ignore is Aberfeldy 12. I put it right up there with the Aberlour 12.
Aberlour 16 is better than 12 IMO, but I also haven't tried Bunnahabhain yet so I can't compare
Balblair. The 12yr is usually reasonably affordable and just a great dram. The 15yr is absolutely lovely.
Agreed, very lovely fruity dram and fairly priced. The 15y old ist definitely top-notch, I even prefer it to the 12y old, also the best bang per buck in the range. I also heard good things about the 18y and 25y old, both more with a darker fruits and spice profile. The 25y old is sadly pricewise out of reach, but the 18y old I will definitely try.
I'm not sure if Bunnahabhain 12 is underrated. Here in Europe (in Germany in particular) we LOVE Bunna 12. Just amazing.Thanks for your video!
Gotta say I love that Daniel just ignores the "Mouth it" or "I'm mouthing" it comments and just keeps going! Love it it!
Agree 100% on the Bunna 12, that belongs in every scotch collection. I'd also add Benromach 10.
Yeah I loove the Bunna 12 too. It was a gift from someone, and I was amazed how much I liked it!
I LOVED the rating system for this video by the way. So clever
The Retail prices in Taiwan :
Auchentoshan 12 YO USD.26.6 (NT.798)
Deanston 12 YO. USD.40 (NT.1200)
Glenrothes 12 YO sherry cast USD.39.27 (NT.1178)
GLEN SCOTIA 10 YO USD.33.3 (NT.999)
Bunnahabhain 12 YO USD.33.3 (NT.999)
I would choose Bunnahabhain 12 YO as the most underrated whisky (in Taiwan)
I love it when a song ends just as I'm pulling up to my destination!
Ooh! Got a great underrated experience! When you get one of those restaurant tortilla chips that is folded over or even a stack folded over so it's layered and is sturdier to hold more dip.
Bunnahabhain 12 is great, I wouldn't say it's underrated though, tonnes of whisky nerds at least in Australia and the UK know it well
So much for one "you can actually find." Not one of these is available in NC. Not sure if this is evidence of how bad NC is or how these aren't really that available.
Woohoo!
The trio is together once more!
Real underrated whiskey for me is Tamnavoulin Red Wine cask, everytime I have recommended it to people they have enjoyed it and it is one I keep going back to, great video as always guys, take care.
Avoiding a car accident when someone else did something stupid
Underrated scotch: Famous Grouse Smokey Black
Underrated experience: First time wearing a new pair of socks. Nothing beats it.
I would have added the Naked Grouse, but I’m not a huge peat fan. Don’t mind some of it.
Ok. I’m sure you know that cheap whiskeys like Seagrams seven or Jack Daniels has a mediciney type of kick to it, right? So what whiskey is smooth, but without that nasty mediciney kick?
Auchentoshen 12 is one of my FAVORITES! And the price is so good, I guess because it's not a big seller.
...
YEEEEEAAAAAAASASSSSSSSSS Buannahabhain 12 is MY FAVORITE SCOTCH OF ALL TIME!
Oh yeah, most underrated scotch... Black Bottle. It's $23 and is better than JW Black. Just saying.
Teachers highland cream. for $20 or less you can't beet it. Warm cloths from the dryer is hard to beat ....woodstove on a rainy PNW day and a good cup of coffee ....
adult male dog names has always been one of the funniest things to me. once know a friend that had a dog names Glen and it cracked me up every single time. glad im not alone!
Steve Kelly, now get this , we have a cat named " Monty" I'm like, Whaaat!!🐈 People names 4 a pet, go figure 🤔
Wait. Brandon was doggo in the first chapter and now, he's the shipping guy????
ETA: Oh, the doggo was BRENDAN. My mistake. ;)
Whisky: Benromach Peat Smoke ,,,,, Experience: The “Snap” of a perfectly cooked meat in tube form, cooked over a open campfire on a stick, at night when the outside temperature is EXACTLY 64 degrees 😎👍☺️
Just getin into whiskey so ??????
Experience thats under-rated, that time you set a charcoal BBQ goin and had to do NOTHING after applying the first match, specifically that moment when you go back to it and realize that you NAILED the lighting of it!!!!!
Pendleton Rye 1910 is underrated! (this bottle lead me to the whiskey tribe) RYE IS UNDERRATED!!..... Underrated feeling, when you finally get that bastard of an in-grown toe nail out.❤️🥃
Tomatin is also underrated..
Legacy is nice but the 18 yr old is just wow .
Glenfarclas another ( 106) has a punch at 60% AVB .
Glenlassaugh is worth trying ..
Comments+1
My fave underated scotch would be Aberlour 10 or 12.
My fave underated expérience… hmmm walking the Dog!
Really not into Deanston 12. I've tried repeatedly to get into it but no dice. I've had it in blind tastings and rated it below blended whisky. Last blind tasting my notes were: "Gnarly, really don't like the nose, grape-y, cheap, unsophisticated, grassy, bourbon-esque finish, corny, finish is long (albeit unpleasant)". I gave it a C-. I think Deanston is one of those distilleries, like Bowmore, whose juice really doesn't line up with my palate. Totally agree with you guys on the Bunnahabhain 12 and Auchentoshan 12 being excellent, underrated bottles.
Our cats have old fashioned names, Henry, Calvin, Moe, Hank (RIP), Jack (RIP), Chuck.
I sure am glad they didn't mention the most under rated I know of, and now it will remain there.
Ok well my dogs names are Frank, and Bruno. Bith larger than life personalities 😊. Underrated whisky has to be The Dalmore Cigar Malt but here, in Corporate Thiefstralia, what once was a $100 bottle pre covid is now $240~ and we can thank those corporate crooks for gouging the remaining joy out of our lives. +1 for the Bunnabhain 12
Underrated Malt Scotch..?
Arran. Regular Arran, I.B. Arran, limited Arran, Machrie Moor, anything out of Lochranza.
Maybe not as available in the states. But yeah, everything they make is a homerun and rediculously well priced over here.
Singleton 12 Luscious Nectar. I love the creamy coffee and nutty notes on the palate. Just a fine whisky form Dufftown.
I spent like 20x my quota in the last 6 months already, but I'm really eyeing that Deanston 12... I have plenty of peated, sherried or sherry finished bottles but none that's only ex-bourbon... thinking the Deanston 12 might fit the bill (I do have the Arran 10 which is amazing, but it doesn't feel the ex-bourbon influence owns the show there, too much floral and grass and stuff... I want something more vanilla).
Everyone is going to hate me for this, but put Clan MacGregor in a barrel for two weeks and tell me it's not better than a 12 year Macallan.
Clan McGregor. Love it. 1499 for 1.75. And it comes in a plastic bottle, so you can't kill your friends with it.
