@@MistahPink95 My dear Dad introduced the 18 yr old me to Rum and Water of Cloves at a corrugated tin Pub in Central Australia, 40 degree centigrade in the shade - can turn the roughest Rum into a smooth nectar - he was a whiskey man though - sometimes if he had a rough bottle (Corio Whiskey) he'd have it in milk - his idea of a Health Drink haha ... he's long gone now sadly.

But what he said is true. Vodka is deliberately made to be tasteless. The better the vodka, the less it tastes. Whisky has a variety of tastes. Its very different and when he says vodka exists to make other things alcoholic he is speaking the truth. Its a great mixer because its tasteless but pointing that out and noting the differences between the two spirits isn't a "slam."

Actually the ice cream companies know the flavour is lessened when frozen so they make it super sweet. Eating Luke warm ice cream is like just cream with a load of sugar
Actually, it depends on the company and the flavour. I used to melt my ice cream a little a lot to enhance the overall taste but eat it before it melted completely. That makes it feel like an ice cream with a extra flavor coating. But, as I said, this doesn't work with all flavours. For example, strawberry tastes so sweet that I just puke it out, but mangos get a nice sultry texture this way. Also, you can use the melted ice cream to work with the toppings. Try adding some chocolate syrup to a vanilla ice cream but instead of eating it instantly, swirl it around in the bowl letting it melt a little so that it now feels like a chocolate doughnut hole but tastes like ice cream
@@LividLobster eating slightly melted ice cream is a thing. I had a friend (she passed from cancer a couple years ago, RIP Joyce), who loved slightly melted ice cream

Also on a side note: If you are specifically looking for whiskies with a high oil content, you don't have to rely on your or other people's experience. Instead specifically look for non-chill filtered whiskies, which the Bruichladdich happens to be and the rye they try afterwards most probably isn't. Chill filtration is a process that is specifically designed to remove oily components from whisky, because they can make it cloudy at low temperatures.

There are exceptions to the 'no way is wrong'... I work in a bar in a hotel in Scotland that does a lot of whisky, a customer came in and ordered one of our more expensive whisky's and a pint of water, they then preceded to pour the whisky into the pint of water and drink it.... that is wrong.

Interesting see Daniel on here, for a couple reason. 1- Daniel doesn’t look so short 2- their cameras are a lot better than whiskey tribe/vault 3- Daniel can be nerdy without Rex getting bored.
Word from a chemist, technically the addition of water doesn’t cause a chemical reaction; it’s a physical process called “partioning”. He described what’s happening properly in terms of water insolubles separating from the water solubles. To partition is to separate, which is a physical action on the chemicals. Just to be clear a chemical reaction requires chemicals interacting in such a way to change at least one of the chemicals into a different chemical.
In Scotland, people sometimes have water rather than ice. The difference is simply that the ice gradually melts as you drink it, so it has a varying amount of water (depending on how fast you drink) whereas a dash of water stays constant throughout the whole drink. And of course if you prefer it chilled or room temp. Water/ice drastically changes the taste of whikey (generally brings out sweeter flavours) so I always like to try a new one with and without ice and then decide.
This guy knows a ton about scotch but I have one complaint. He hays this is a very smokey scotch, goes on to describe the whole peat smoke procedure etc.... All good, except that particular scotch "Bruichladdich - The Classic Laddie" is an unpeated scotch. Says it right on the bottle. I have one in my liquor cabinet right now. It's delicious, and has a strong Islay flavor, but no peat.
I thought the same thing immediately. But, smoke doesn't come exclusively from peat fires, though. The barley (and any other grain wanted) can be dried by smoke from e.g. birch wood, too. The Laddie is certainly unpeated, but it has some very subtle smoke nevertheless. My favourite example for non-peated but still smoky flavour is Talisker 10.
Nah, there isn't anything bad about this video at all, it's great content and very enjoyable listening to. Like TheYarrrr mentioned, it's still kinda funny how he knows almost everything down to the tiniest detail but still takes The Laddie as a representation of Islay's smoky whisky profiles. Certainly, The Laddie is a little aggressive (comes with 50% ABV) when undiluted, but it certainly isn't agressively smoky. Anyone more familiar with Islay whiskies will easily second that. Maybe he thought of Bruichladdich's Octomore Series which undeniably is aggressively smoky.
Just what I thought. Let's just say he was talking about Islay whisky's in general, in that case it would make sense. (I'm a Lagavulin-drinker myself, but I really like the Octomore-series for special occasions - it's too pricey for me to drink every time.) I like the tip to add a few drops of water, it really does change the taste. Just subscribed to the channel :)
I think he was just giving the original way smoked scotch was made. Not necessarily the way this specific scotch was made. He even goes on to say smoked scotch can be created with many different types of burned materials
@@mishel234 i have noticed that the uninitiated tend to confuse malt with smoke. and you could probably add the expectation that many people think all scotches are smoky.
Both of your whiskey videos helped me a lot. I'm working as a waiter/bartender and now I can kinda sound more professional when I'm serving customers. And also I can't wait to try the water trick on some of the finer whiskeys that are at the restaurant I'm working at. Cheers!
Its fucking garbage. They say "oh its okay to like what you like" then proceed to say "oh if you like whiskey on ive, you dont like whiskey" fucking idiots
@@bigsleepy9889 They never once said that. Who's the fucking idiot here? I think you just have some unresolved personal reaction regarding whiskey on ice or something haha
great tutorial! i've been doing the whisky and water thing for over 30 years, and yes, it's subjective. it's you, the dram and the moment. but this guy nailed it. no pretense and two-sentence stories. i think like me he's a fan of what somebody once called the irish way: an irishman puts water in his whisk(e)y, but he does it himself.
i love this kind of tasting when the host just leads you to everywhere they want. They are good at stories and entertainment. I want to open my bar and it's absolute inspiration. Cheer guys

Guys, I'm watching this video while mashing at Laphroaig distillery on Islay! Great to hear a shout out to my wee island haha. Love the modern rogue! Cheers Sean.
Now i understand why people didn't chill their alcohol. I'm learning more about alcohol since i didn't have much access/freedom to try things before. Quite informative
I once froze a bottle of gin for my martinis. Freezing improves vodka in that it gains a very oily mouth feel, and I figured since gin IS a vodka, why not? I found out why not. A great martini requires some water dilution, which doesn't happen when the booze has been chilled below zero. You get a fiery, oily martini that tastes like crap. Similarly, with room temperature gin that is shaken, not stirred, you get a watered down, chilled drink where you barely taste the gin. Stirred, the fire of the gin is extinguished, the flavors all come through, and it is properly chilled for enjoyment.
The smoke explanation hit home. I've been a BBQ enthusiast for decades. I even helped teach a former professor of regional cuisine about the different flavor profiles of different species of wood. You just made me interested in trying different regional scotches, and I admittedly have never tried scotch

In rewatching all the whiskey and cocktail episodes and I am learning so much from these guys. There is so much to do and experience here in Austin and thanks to this show, I know what's up.
That introduction part... omfg so right!! It goes wrong when people try to argue instead of just listening and talking about (someone else's own opinion).
This is so brilliant. I live in the north of England very close to Scotland. Been drinking whiskey for forty years, but learned something's from this. Thank you
I love how when the whiskey guy starts to sound scottish as he is getting lit :) I can see him trying to control it :) but I am sure he is from new jersey.
I like my whiskey/whisky with one medium/small ice cube. A little bit of cooling and just slightly waters it. If you listen closely you can hear the ice cube scream.
Just found this channel and these boys are brilliant! BUT, I can't get over that I'm watching Ragnar Lothbrok educating the masses on whiskey and I'm mind-trippin'...

Good starter scotch, Dalwhinnie 15...like drinking silk its so smooth and mellow. Light and honey like in color, sweet aromas of vanilla, caramel and a hint of dried fruit...like a nice honeyed trail mix lol
i would add Oban 14 yr old single malt ,, another that falls into the sipping whiskey category ,, as opposed to things like grants and grouse which are more like gulping whiskey ( so you can't taste them ) and are drunk more for effect than taste :)
Brandon Burch I agree. I found them awhile back and thought "these guys are gonna blow up quick!" it's taking a bit but guys please don't give up. I have faith that you'll be up there with the greatest of RUclipsrs! god speed and make haste!
I’m so glad they pointed out that Bushmills triple distilled can’t stand up to ice. Jameson can, but with Bushmills you need at LEAST a 10year for it to last in ice...and t that point just drink it neat.
I'm so addicted to watching this. You should really give this guy a show on food network!!! He's EPIC!! I have a question. Jack Daniels. It's "mashed sour"......…...WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? I think it means it tastes awful because it does. And now I'm thinking that since my only experience with whisk(e)y was a sip of JD that I might be missing out on something way better.
Iam a bit confused, Islay whisky is indeed smokey, but I thought it was peated that adds the smokiness, however Bruichladdich bottle says it is UNPEATED, so how is it still smokey if it is unpeated.
@@bryanyachts no I got it now read up on it few days ago,it's just the flavours of the charred barrels that gives it smokiness in unpeated whisky's, peated are more heavily smokey,I actually bought the classic laddie n I've gotta say, I fuckin enjoyed it.
it's mesmerising listening to Daniel saying Scottish places and stuff with an American accent and actually saying it right. (example, CH is a sort of throaty gargling sound in Scottish Gaelic instead of it being closer to a T)
That Bruichladdich is unpeated. No smokeiness in it. A Lagavulin, Caol Ila or an Ardbeg would be a much better representation of an Islay whisky. Or maybe Laphroaig, if you dare. THAT'S peat!
Man I’m glad they say the best whiskey is the one you like and the way you like it. I see that posh, snobby stuff almost everywhere. I see it with cigars, coffee, steak, and liquor. Just do what you like. Some people don’t understand that.
I agree, however there is nothing wrong with educating people and introduce them to new things or ways to enjoy them. We often don’t realize we may do something better if we expand our knowledge and be open to new things.
(10 months later, so you probably know this now...) You can have smoke without peat. Bruichladdich - The Classic Laddie is unpeated, but still smoky :) GF12 is slightly smoky.
@@Powerslider That's cool. Glenfiddich 12 is my go-to, it definitely has a little smokiness to it. It's definitely not prominent, but it's there - it's definitely overpowered by its sweetness and fruitiness.
Agreed. Have never tasted smokiness in a glenfiddich. It’s distilled a few miles away from me and their tour guide always points out they don’t peatify it.
you are right glennfiddich is one of the most beginner friendly scotch in my experience. he should have given them an ardbeg or a talisker if they wanted a smokey whiskey :D
Well done for making this known worldwide! Nearly there on the pronunciation. It sounds like "Broo-chladdy". Wee bit of water is indeed the gentleman's way, here in Glasgow at least. No need to bother with cheaper whisky, just drink however you like - ice etc. But never chill or mix the good stuff.
I have a question; I am a big jack Daniels man and I understand that using ice, waters it down but personally, I like my drinks cold. So what if I was to use a glass that has been in the freezer? would I still be able to enjoy my whiskey, without watering it down and still getting my cold drink?
Also, remember the rule he mentions... The way you like to drink it is the way you should drink it. If you like it chilled and mildly diluted, do the rocks thing
About the coffee analogy. If you want to see some real coffee that will wake you the hell up without being so bitter you can't taste normally for a week. Then check out the Mud Street Cafe in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. I had a cup of espresso there that was ridiculously powerful. And it came in what can only be described as a bowl with a handle.
Bitter coffee and the stigma behind coffee just being bitter all the time comes from years of people being subjected to badly made, old, poorly roasted coffee for years. I wholeheartedly believe that anyone can enjoy black coffee if it's made with fresh beans, roasted well, ground right before brew, measured properly and made well. Also, I don't believe you had an espresso if what your drink came in a "bowl with a handle". Espresso is served in a tiny cup, similar in size to a shot glass.

As someone who can't handle straight whisky in any capacity, I love watering it down to get rid of the burn, then I can focus on the taste without it being a chore to drink.

Interesting see Daniel on here, for a couple reason.
1- Daniel doesn’t look so short
2- their cameras are a lot better than whiskey tribe/vault
3- Daniel can be nerdy without Rex getting bored.
Word from a chemist, technically the addition of water doesn’t cause a chemical reaction; it’s a physical process called “partioning”. He described what’s happening properly in terms of water insolubles separating from the water solubles. To partition is to separate, which is a physical action on the chemicals. Just to be clear a chemical reaction requires chemicals interacting in such a way to change at least one of the chemicals into a different chemical.
You could say anything science-y and I’d totally believe you. That profile pic just screams Chemist.
Thank you!
And how does the chemist drink/take his whiskey?

In Scotland, people sometimes have water rather than ice. The difference is simply that the ice gradually melts as you drink it, so it has a varying amount of water (depending on how fast you drink) whereas a dash of water stays constant throughout the whole drink. And of course if you prefer it chilled or room temp. Water/ice drastically changes the taste of whikey (generally brings out sweeter flavours) so I always like to try a new one with and without ice and then decide.
This guy knows a ton about scotch but I have one complaint. He hays this is a very smokey scotch, goes on to describe the whole peat smoke procedure etc.... All good, except that particular scotch "Bruichladdich - The Classic Laddie" is an unpeated scotch. Says it right on the bottle. I have one in my liquor cabinet right now. It's delicious, and has a strong Islay flavor, but no peat.
I thought the same thing immediately. But, smoke doesn't come exclusively from peat fires, though. The barley (and any other grain wanted) can be dried by smoke from e.g. birch wood, too. The Laddie is certainly unpeated, but it has some very subtle smoke nevertheless. My favourite example for non-peated but still smoky flavour is Talisker 10.
you guys will find a hair in every soup
Nah, there isn't anything bad about this video at all, it's great content and very enjoyable listening to. Like TheYarrrr mentioned, it's still kinda funny how he knows almost everything down to the tiniest detail but still takes The Laddie as a representation of Islay's smoky whisky profiles. Certainly, The Laddie is a little aggressive (comes with 50% ABV) when undiluted, but it certainly isn't agressively smoky. Anyone more familiar with Islay whiskies will easily second that. Maybe he thought of Bruichladdich's Octomore Series which undeniably is aggressively smoky.
Just what I thought. Let's just say he was talking about Islay whisky's in general, in that case it would make sense. (I'm a Lagavulin-drinker myself, but I really like the Octomore-series for special occasions - it's too pricey for me to drink every time.)
I like the tip to add a few drops of water, it really does change the taste. Just subscribed to the channel :)
I think he was just giving the original way smoked scotch was made. Not necessarily the way this specific scotch was made. He even goes on to say smoked scotch can be created with many different types of burned materials
I love these Whiskey videos. I have been trying to get into it more and explore them.
That's so great to hear! One more on the way.
Jason Murphy hi jason.
I'm a big fan of you and brian.

You should check out NoNonsenseWhisky and MaltMondays. The guys on this channel get half their information totally wrong about whisky
Why would anyone ice a fine whisky ?
Despises pretentiousness. Wears a great medallion.
Dude, "the bald bearded guy" is Daniel Whitington and he's a genius and I love the man.
I’m a little surprised they said the Bruichladdich Classic Laddie was smoky with it being an unpeated scotch, but it still is from Islay and 50% ABV.
I was even more surprised when they said glenfiddich had some smoky flavor
@@mishel234 i have noticed that the uninitiated tend to confuse malt with smoke. and you could probably add the expectation that many people think all scotches are smoky.

great tutorial! i've been doing the whisky and water thing for over 30 years, and yes, it's subjective. it's you, the dram and the moment. but this guy nailed it. no pretense and two-sentence stories. i think like me he's a fan of what somebody once called the irish way: an irishman puts water in his whisk(e)y, but he does it himself.
i love this kind of tasting when the host just leads you to everywhere they want. They are good at stories and entertainment. I want to open my bar and it's absolute inspiration. Cheer guys
I just realized Jason is dressed like he works at a McDonald's knockoff bahaha

McDonald's uniforms actually look pretty bad ass these days. Not like those old, ugly, yellow with red. Interior/exterior designs are much improved as well... sometimes going to McDonald's feels like going to an actual restaurant instead of a fast food service. Though, Jason does look like some McDonald's worker in a 70' hobo shirt

Now i understand why people didn't chill their alcohol. I'm learning more about alcohol since i didn't have much access/freedom to try things before. Quite informative
I once froze a bottle of gin for my martinis. Freezing improves vodka in that it gains a very oily mouth feel, and I figured since gin IS a vodka, why not? I found out why not. A great martini requires some water dilution, which doesn't happen when the booze has been chilled below zero. You get a fiery, oily martini that tastes like crap. Similarly, with room temperature gin that is shaken, not stirred, you get a watered down, chilled drink where you barely taste the gin. Stirred, the fire of the gin is extinguished, the flavors all come through, and it is properly chilled for enjoyment.

The smoke explanation hit home. I've been a BBQ enthusiast for decades. I even helped teach a former professor of regional cuisine about the different flavor profiles of different species of wood. You just made me interested in trying different regional scotches, and I admittedly have never tried scotch

In rewatching all the whiskey and cocktail episodes and I am learning so much from these guys. There is so much to do and experience here in Austin and thanks to this show, I know what's up.
That introduction part... omfg so right!! It goes wrong when people try to argue instead of just listening and talking about (someone else's own opinion).
This is so brilliant. I live in the north of England very close to Scotland. Been drinking whiskey for forty years, but learned something's from this. Thank you
I love how when the whiskey guy starts to sound scottish as he is getting lit :) I can see him trying to control it :) but I am sure he is from new jersey.

I like my whiskey/whisky with one medium/small ice cube. A little bit of cooling and just slightly waters it. If you listen closely you can hear the ice cube scream.

Delicious!
Just found this channel and these boys are brilliant! BUT, I can't get over that I'm watching Ragnar Lothbrok educating the masses on whiskey and I'm mind-trippin'... I'm Scottish, in the US since I was a wee lad, try to make it home every year or two, love the approach these this channel has as they are super educational and don't fault anyone for their personal preferences - Slainte mhath!

Good starter scotch, Dalwhinnie 15...like drinking silk its so smooth and mellow. Light and honey like in color, sweet aromas of vanilla, caramel and a hint of dried fruit...like a nice honeyed trail mix lol
The 'Gentle Spirit' and one of my favorites for a summer's evening after the majority of guests have gone and it's just three or four close friends.
yeah that one's a very smooth scotch, I would add Glenrothes Bourbon Cask as well! very easy and smooth.
Glenlivet Founder's Reserve
i would add Oban 14 yr old single malt ,, another that falls into the sipping whiskey category ,,
as opposed to things like grants and grouse which are more like gulping whiskey ( so you can't taste them ) and are drunk more for effect than taste :)
I like how this went from tasting aged whiskey to riding bikes around town

I’m so glad they pointed out that Bushmills triple distilled can’t stand up to ice. Jameson can, but with Bushmills you need at LEAST a 10year for it to last in ice...and t that point just drink it neat.

It's a formidable scent... It stings the nostrils. In a good way.
It's quite pungent.

I'm so addicted to watching this. You should really give this guy a show on food network!!! He's EPIC!! I have a question. Jack Daniels. It's "mashed sour"......…...WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

"Bruichladdich Classic Laddie Unpeated"
Saw that too. They need the Port Charlotte
@@ViktorAKaltenstein Or even better Octomore :)
The only good whiskey is the whiskey that's in my glass right now. Still my favorite spirit.
Probably the most informative video on whisk(e)y that I've watched. And I've watched 300+. Thank you gentlemen. I'm eternally grateful.
I always love the little references to all my favorite movies. You guys are so awesome.
just a quick comment, on the Ranger Creek 36, the 36 comes from Texas Independence in 1836.
Ah! Interesting. Thank you!
I live in upstate NY, and we have a distillery here called Iron Smoke Distillery that makes a smoked Bourbon if you'd ever like to try it.
In Scotland we never drink our whisky with ice, usually because it masks much of the flavour, and that the weather’s constantly cold lol
Iam a bit confused, Islay whisky is indeed smokey, but I thought it was peated that adds the smokiness, however Bruichladdich bottle says it is UNPEATED, so how is it still smokey if it is unpeated.
Placebo effect?
@@bryanyachts no I got it now read up on it few days ago,it's just the flavours of the charred barrels that gives it smokiness in unpeated whisky's, peated are more heavily smokey,I actually bought the classic laddie n I've gotta say, I fuckin enjoyed it.
yeah, i loved it too but my friend didnt
but he is more of a cheap whiskey drink to get drunk guy
The simple answer is: it's not smoky. He's really just talking nonsense there.
@@nekekaminger fair enough,but it's still could be smokey, due to the charring of barrels but more than likely,he fucked up lol
it's mesmerising listening to Daniel saying Scottish places and stuff with an American accent and actually saying it right. (example, CH is a sort of throaty gargling sound in Scottish Gaelic instead of it being closer to a T)
Next time you guys go there can you get a panorama of his Whisky collection? Because Whisky.
That Bruichladdich is unpeated. No smokeiness in it.
A Lagavulin, Caol Ila or an Ardbeg would be a much better representation of an Islay whisky.
Or maybe Laphroaig, if you dare. THAT'S peat!
I love Laphroaig, but it doesn't seem to like me. Also, BAD THINGS happen when I drink a lot of it. Possibly says more about me... :D
exactly what i said
I love how he's describing how smokey it is as they zoom in on the giant "UNPEATED" lettering on the bottle.
That guy just disqualified himself
Confirmed. Source: I was on Islay a month ago. Also, I've camped across the street from the Lagavulin distillery for a night.
After 03 drinks they actually started loving their conversation.
Man I’m glad they say the best whiskey is the one you like and the way you like it. I see that posh, snobby stuff almost everywhere. I see it with cigars, coffee, steak, and liquor. Just do what you like. Some people don’t understand that.
You're gonna love their stuff over at the Whiskey Tribe. More of the same sentiment: ruclips.net/user/whiskeytribe
I agree, however there is nothing wrong with educating people and introduce them to new things or ways to enjoy them. We often don’t realize we may do something better if we expand our knowledge and be open to new things.
@@paddyk6902 The only problem is that a lot of "teachers" can be dicks.
I thought I was tuning in to get an education on how to look like James Bond walking up to a bar. But this was way more informative.
6:38 ... Glenfiddich 12 (scotch) still tastes slightly smokey? I've never tasted even the slighest hint of peat on a GF12...
(10 months later, so you probably know this now...) You can have smoke without peat. Bruichladdich - The Classic Laddie is unpeated, but still smoky :) GF12 is slightly smoky.
@@rabidelfman I think many will disagree with you on that.
@@Powerslider That's cool. Glenfiddich 12 is my go-to, it definitely has a little smokiness to it. It's definitely not prominent, but it's there - it's definitely overpowered by its sweetness and fruitiness.
Good stuff but just wanted to note that Glenfiddich is most definitely not a smoky Scotch.
Of course. It's a Speyside. You want smoky get an Islay.
Agreed. Have never tasted smokiness in a glenfiddich. It’s distilled a few miles away from me and their tour guide always points out they don’t peatify it.
That was the first thing that came to mind for me too. The "Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie" is also not a particularly smokey whiskey.
It is compared to a bourbon and an Irish 😂
you are right glennfiddich is one of the most beginner friendly scotch in my experience. he should have given them an ardbeg or a talisker if they wanted a smokey whiskey :D
Wow. I learnt so much. Thank you Brian, Jason, and daniel
Awesome!
thank you for replying. will their be another season of hacking the system?
It doesn't look that way. But there will be LOTS of Modern Rogue.
Awsome!!! if u have a chance look at my top 10 videos i started to make. have an amazing day. (:
Well done for making this known worldwide! Nearly there on the pronunciation. It sounds like "Broo-chladdy". Wee bit of water is indeed the gentleman's way, here in Glasgow at least. No need to bother with cheaper whisky, just drink however you like - ice etc. But never chill or mix the good stuff.
That first bud light joke recently took on a whole new meaning
lmao i checked when it was uploaded to see if that's what they were referencing lol
I have a question; I am a big jack Daniels man and I understand that using ice, waters it down but personally, I like my drinks cold. So what if I was to use a glass that has been in the freezer? would I still be able to enjoy my whiskey, without watering it down and still getting my cold drink?
1630revelloak you can use cooling stones/marbles.
I'll give it a try, thanks.
Also, remember the rule he mentions... The way you like to drink it is the way you should drink it. If you like it chilled and mildly diluted, do the rocks thing
1630revelloak get a whiskey ball ice mold
It won't be watered down but you still don't taste it as much because it's cold
OMG Jason's impressions of Brian are deadon perfect! XD
About the coffee analogy. If you want to see some real coffee that will wake you the hell up without being so bitter you can't taste normally for a week. Then check out the Mud Street Cafe in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. I had a cup of espresso there that was ridiculously powerful. And it came in what can only be described as a bowl with a handle.
Or a cubano
Bitter coffee and the stigma behind coffee just being bitter all the time comes from years of people being subjected to badly made, old, poorly roasted coffee for years. I wholeheartedly believe that anyone can enjoy black coffee if it's made with fresh beans, roasted well, ground right before brew, measured properly and made well.
Also, I don't believe you had an espresso if what your drink came in a "bowl with a handle". Espresso is served in a tiny cup, similar in size to a shot glass.
@@ramblr8161 Then you've never been to the Mud Street Cafe. They got some serious coffee there.
