Whiskey collector here. Difference between a $40 bottle and a $70-$100 bottle is STAGGERING, but beyond that the difference is negligible, people who tell you their favourite whiskey is a $500 bottle just want you to know they can afford a $500 bottle.
True, there's some really great budget friendly & flavored brands out there, that don't require going over (hell I'll enjoy Makers Mark & even Crown Royal), tho I will admit, Johnnie Walker Blue Label is amazing, personally...the price tag is high asf, but hits fast (roughly within a few minutes) & it is indeed smooth asf. Not recommending to buy it ofc (or if you do, get the sample box with the 750ml bottle size iirc, just to at least try it), certainly not an all the time thing...most definitely, even if you have the funds.
@infectious_d I bought one of those single serving bottles of Johnny Walker blue and it was damn fine, but as you say there are many reasonably priced whiskies out there. Wild Turkey is my everyday, and when I want to get "fancy" almost anything from Ardbeg, or I've really been into Suntory Ao lately. About $65 a bottle. I'll start with the "good" stuff then transition back to wild turkey when I've burned out my taste buds with a cigar.
I'm not a whisky collector, but I went Scotland and did a bunch of tasting tours. I came to comment exactly this. Of the ones I tasted, my favorites cost 1. $70 2. $80 3. $50 And I tried some pretty expensive (for me) ones too.
As someone who drinks a fair amount of bourbon, there is a huge difference in quality but there is also a point where it's just ridiculous due to allocation and rarity.
I think a lot of it is about show too. If you bought lets say, a $500 bottle of Whiskey, bourbon, scotch or wine you would either not drink it, or only on a special occasion, like your son graduating university or something. I agree with you otherwise.
@@MrBlipman Not the people I know lol. Just recently I hung out with some buddies I hadn't seen in a bit. My dude starting cracking Antique collection and the higher end bottles of Weller and Blanton's. Lots of the more expensive expressions are due to being barrel proof and the alcohol content is much higher. One of the ones I referenced was a Blanton's SFTB and it was in the 130s for the proof. Didn't taste like it tho.
I can't get my favorite bottle in stores anymore and if I want to buy it online I'm paying 5x what it's worth because of resellers making it scarce artificially
Agreed. Even 100 proof is a lot if you're not someone who enjoys neatly sipping on spirits. Odds are even 80 proof would burn. Starting them with a barrel proof, even if Michter's is pretty low due to low entry proof, is just blowing out their palates and making them feel burn vs flavor.
@@dneuens 100% agree, and it's details like this that often turn people away from whiskey. The guy in the video said he hates whiskey 1000 times, but it's partly because of stuff like this.
@@Maltlicky50 And not everyone is going to like it regardless, but if you punish them right off the bat with something they can't handle, you're guaranteeing they're going to hate it and never experience it in a way to build an appreciation.
Some people live their entire lives dreaming of a day when they might be allowed to taste Pappy Van Winkle, and then there's moistcritical: "do I HAVE to drink it??"
As a bartender and spirit enthusiasts, whoever put over 100 proof whiskeys is on some diabolical shit, it takes a very experienced palette to taste the flavors past the burn. You need a lot of exposure to high proof rise, bourbons, etc
@@ToastbackWhale It is high to someone who doesn't drink spirits on their own. Whenever I introduce people to sipping whiskey, I start at around 90, maybe mid-80's if it's got a little flavor like Michter's Sour Mash or Rye. If I can get them to pick up notes on the palate, I might jump up to 100 eventually, but usually that feels like a lot to them the first time. It took me a few months to build my palate up to barrel proofs and cask strengths. One of my favorite whiskeys in my current collection is a 138 proof JD SBBP Rye. No chance I could drink that without building myself up to it.
As someone that grew up in a holler in WV, I can tell you my father did indeed give me whiskey and honey as a sore throat remedy. Also used tobacco on bee stings.
My European mind can't comprehend this. When I hear whiskey it's just Scottish stuff. Americans would make some jet fuel, call it Old Blind Pig and sell it for 500
As an avid whiskey lover the answer is yes and no. Some bottles takes years upon years to make and the company has to swallow the initial expenses without any profit to show for it for sometimes decades. But that doesn't mean the flavor is going to be exactly what you're looking for in an expensive bottle. On the other hand, popular brands are just so popular that people are willing to spend tens and even hundreds of dollars more than MSRP. We have a nice saying in the whiskey community; the best whiskey is your favorite whiskey, the way you like to drink it. So drink whatever it is you like! I forgot I made this comment, but I was just reminded while watching some whiskey videos. Go watch Whiskey Tribe/Vault for some good whiskey content.
i love basic mid tier jim bean honey or apple, sometimes vannilla, neat on occasion, but usually i mix it with various mixers. i really like coconut flavors with whiskey for a Smokey smooth flavor
@@lovernatz Why is it stupid? Different people have different tastes, and while more expensive higher quality whiskies will have more depth of flavour, it doesn't necessarily mean you're going to like it more. Same goes for any drink, people should just drink what they like, not drink the most expensive bottles on the market to try and prove that they're a "connoisseur".
the last question was bogus. Whisky and Whiskey just refers to the location of origin. The question should have been "How long must a whisky be aged in Scotland to be considered a "Scotch" whisky?". WhiskEy refers to spirits made from grain in the USA or Ireland.
My only experience with whiskey was asking a costumer if he wanted ice with it and the whole restaurant hearing it and going pitch silent Felt like those dreams where someone just says you're dreaming and NEED to wake up.
I was confused about the memberships, the 1 dollar membership says it unlocks members only videos, but the videos that have come up in my feed say the 5 dollar membership is required. Do you know whether certain videos are only available to the 5 dollar membership or is it 5 dollars all around and the membership description is incorrect?
it's funny they posted this video because my dad recently got into collecting bourbon and whiskey and is now really big into it, he now has many of these bottles and he hasn't hated a single one he's tried
It's like with weed strains... They all taste skunky and make you cough, but then they have slight differences that make them "better tasting" and more expensive and a true weed smoker won't really hate any weed with any amount of thc...
Mid is significantly better than most cheap stuff, but diminishing returns after maybe $100-150 for sure. Like with Scotch the sweet spot is 12-15 year aged really doesn't taste much better aging it longer. You can do well with some cheap stuff tho like Jameson's Caskmates Stout. They take some basic Jameson and age it in stout casks which really rounds out the harsher notes.
@@the_inquisitive_inquisitor Oh for sure! That Jameson Caskmates is I think only $35. It doesn't impress me in the way Balvenie Doublewood or Redbreast 12 do but still very smooth, buttery and amazing for the price.
@@MrDraehlthank you for recommendations. I don't know much about alcohol at all. Do you know anything on the sweeter side that's under $100 by chance? Doesn't have to taste like straight syrup. Just a little on the sweeter note though
@@sagew1312 Look into Bourbons if you like sweet- but that's outside of my wheelhouse TBH. More of a Scotch and Irish fan personally. You miiiight like Glenfiddich 12 to try a "fruity" scotch but it's more a mild tart in a sour apple kind of way. A bourbon would really serve you best tho.
Scottish born and raised. I only ever drink bourbon when its mixed with coke. WHISKY, what you guys call Scotch, I'll drink neat. I also take for granted that I can walk into any small corner store and buy a 35+ year aged single malt for 30 bucks.
Idk where to start with this lol... As an avid whiskey collector, who has tasted everything from $10 to $5000 whiskey and has several hundred bottles in my basement, its tough accurately judge this. A lot of my life hunting bourbon is simply trying to not overpay for bottles; a lot of times you go to the store and find something around $60-70, and then you wonder if its worth that price. Sometimes you find gems, and sometimes you get trash; its a roll of the dice. Some of the better bourbons come at that price range from larger distilleries whove been making whiskey forever, and because of this they have consistent flavor profiles. Conversely, occasionally you have whiskey from smaller distilleries which upcharge as they have to make a profit and are not as good or as old. So its kind of a game of "find thebgood bourbon" and once a popular brand comes out its a gold rush to buy it before it becomes "allocated" aka tough to find. When it comes to allocated, thats where you see the highest price variance, as typically theyre highly sought after bottles and there arent a lot of them, and so often you see ridiculous price inflation on secondary markets, which in my opinion make most whiskies substantially overrated. Ex one of my favorite whiskeys is George T Stagg, which has an MSRP of $100. However, you routinely find it on the secondary market for like $2000-3000. Imo at that price its no where near worth it. Conversely, you may find a Michters 25 for $1500, which tastes like Unicorn Tears. That is the MSRP price because theres maybe a couple hundred bottles released annually and it is a highly sought after product. Is it worth $1500? Idk, it tastes good as fuck and theres not a lot of them so the market dictates that is the price. All of that said, i can find $40-70 bourbon thay can compete with any of those; but its much more hit and miss as theres variance in tastes between batches and barrels. The real fun in whiskey hunting is finding the best bourbons at the best values, or finding high end bourbon at its MSRP prices, for example if you know the right liquor store owner, you van get Pappy 23 for $249, which I would pay all day.
As a whiskey drinker, no. But if it goes over 200 then it better be phenomenal 10/10 which there's quite a few that isn't, like the ones in this video.
@kookbrah640 Not unless you're well off and want to give a bourbon lover or yourself a nice rare gift. Otherwise there's far cheaper whiskies like Weller, people have blind tasted pappy vs weller 12 and have preferred the weller. I've only had weller 12 though not pappy, but ive drank enough to trust the reviewers I watch so I'm guessing pappy isn't worth it at all given the price. I should also mention, that was a whiskey vault review that was 7 years ago, and the pappy was only $100 back then too.
As someone who has probably 75 unique bottles of whiskey there is a massive difference for what secondary value is and what MSRP is. I paid $65 for my bottle of Stagg Jr batch 22A
I literally saw the video title and skipped 25 minutes in just to see Charlie shitfaced and was greeted by Matt slapping the table and stomping around. I love this channel.
another interesting fact: when whiskey comes out of the still it has clear and the brown color comes when the whiske soaks up the tanins from the oak barrel it is aging in

@@Viktorreznov1942 eh I prefer Buffalo trace over weller
I think it doesn't get much better after 80$+
Glasgow mentioned lets gooo! Got to love how American's always pronounce it as "Glass Gow". It's meant to be Glazgo
I’ll tell you what Kentucky’s bird is… Kentucky fried…. Hahahhaha
I want to see more of them drunk and the crew dealing with them 😂
stated off strong with "yeah i hate whiskey/ i dont like it" glad the judges are in the right mindset
Can you guys do an Angry Orchard hard cider tier list
As someone who has probably 75 unique bottles of whiskey there is a massive difference for what secondary value is and what MSRP is. I paid $65 for my bottle of Stagg Jr batch 22A
7:35 : “Of course it’s different, I know the difference, they’re very different.” 😂😂😂
I literally saw the video title and skipped 25 minutes in just to see Charlie shitfaced and was greeted by Matt slapping the table and stomping around. I love this channel.

22:38 Matt literally gave goonie vibes hitting us with the sloth “hey you guys” lol
Matt slowly getting more drunk and unhinged as he drinks everything for fun
If you squint hard enough you can see Matt becoming the whiskey which is why he got so many correct effortlessly
31:00 "I saw through you like a book" 🤣
I love how they're actually falling apart as it goes on.
“Arron that shirt looks good on you”
Haha, roasted him!
Aint no way we are witnessing charlie drink whiskey before gta 6
could've been funnier, if it was not about the overused gta 6 joke
I just ate toilet paper in a video 💪🔥
Charlie tries whisky bgta 2024
Cringe
I love watching the unedited version and then seeing what they kept / removed
who?
The unedited one is still pretty funny I bet?
@@slumpzae5367 as in I love seeing what the editors cut out versus what they kept for the final cut
@@TheMadrek Absolutely! It's completely unhinged!
@BitsyThehot1 asked !!
It has to be aged 3 years and a day to be called Scotch. In Scotland which spelling is used is based on whether it is made with malted barley.
"i dont know what any of them taste like" lmaoooo
RIP Charlie's Alcohol Abstinence.
@@UTTPGeneralBillMCookI know you're a bot but why did you think saying that would work
He broke it a while back
Drunk matt playing beer league hockey would be a spectacle to see
man if i was still in high school and abouta graduate, my senior quote would have definitely been "What is life if not just a series of guesses?"
Idk what this is from but it’s a vibe like the bowling alley strike videos @ 6:20
Starting them off at Barrel Proof Rare Whiskey was insane 😂🥃
That’s what I’m sayin!
Funny seeing you here Hunter 😂 funny watch from the perspective of someone who enjoys the shit they hate
Never heard anyone say Glasgow like that
Yeah I thought it was a long O sound at the end
@@10thletter40 it's pronounced glaz-go.
Americans 😣
Its almost like theyre not from there or something...
@@Hanaronxdor glesga
another interesting fact: when whiskey comes out of the still it has clear and the brown color comes when the whiske soaks up the tanins from the oak barrel it is aging in
Once you hit over 30, find your favorite history channel on RUclips and start your whiskey journey the metamorphosis is complete.
Johnny walker red mixed with sprite of all things, is delightful.
@@Tristanisthebest you can do better, mate! At least settle for the Black label
@@ualikhanabdraliyev5334 I like black, Johnny is just my drinking for fun whiskey, if I want a more serious experience I go for something a little higher end
Brofessor Shane Gillis and a Redwood Empire pour 🤠
I’m already doing it at 21
these and the tierlist videos are my favorite videos to watch while eating food
Exactly same
Matt taking that first sip, putting his head in his hands, and exclaiming "I FUCKING HATE WHISKEY" really set the tone
That intro made me wonder if my graphics card was dying
"that's a little sm-- *fucking dies* --that's smooth"
I like the intros and the editing done by Aaron. Perfect aesthetic.
I mean this so respectfully Charlie looks so good in this video
This is quite possibly the best video I've ever watched from these dudes
the "batch number" at 10:29 absolutely took me out when they were talking about Weller 107
