A very enjoyable history especially as I like whisky and bourbon. I was in Scotland in 1978 in the US Navy. We pulled into a port near Edinburgh. Then we rode a train to Falkirk and stayed at Bed and Breakfast. The green grass traveling through the countryside was breathtaking and a camera wouldn't do it justice. Beautiful country, very friendly people and damn fine whisky!
A very well articulated documentary moving with a pace so subtle that someone like me who's new to the world of "whisky-whiskey" not just to savor but eager to learn about this wonderful wonderful drink. Slàinte mhath.
Love the singing! Should have included some footage of today's treasure hunters like Treasure Hunting Scotland's channel digging a ancient bottle dump and finding ancient Scotch bottles!
The Irish monks knew how to work with gold. They also brought the Irish language or now known as “Scottish Gaelic” in Scotland. Thats how they won over the picts with the gold and drink. That would win over anyone to be fair 😂😂😂
Laphroaig 10 is my daily driver. It just does something to my taste buds that the other Islay scotches don't. I'm not saying that any of them are inferior at all... Just love my Laphroaig! Lagavulin is a close second... Just wish I could afford it more often.
Whiskey doesn't come from Scotland. :D It was brought to Scotland(which is itself named for the Scoti - Latin for Pirates/raiders which the Romans called the Irish clans that colonised western Scotland) Uisce Beatha(Irish for water of life) is the Gaelic root of the word whiskey. Whisky, along with Mc/Mac clan names, Scots Gaelic language, the musical pipes, and the game shinty were all brought to Scotland by Irish clans. Hard to watch a documentary that has a completely inaccurate title. :D
@@allgore444 😂😂 kilts were introduced in their current form by the English in Victorian times. For someone with such a smarmy attitude you haven't much of a clue. 😂😂
I assume "The History of Scotland's Famous Drink" is what you take issue with. You seem to have a grievance based on your ancient history lesson. Would you be as equally annoyed if a documentary was made titled "Sean Connery, Scotland Famous Actor". Would you try to say he can't be Scottish. All Scottish people are actually Irish. I dont mind that. People and cultures have spread around through history. What I think the crux of your point is that Scotland produces a spirit drink that originally came from Ireland, but gets greater global recognition, creates a greater array of flavours and is generally considered a superior product. To also add to this the rules governing the production of Scotch single malt whisky and Irish whiskey are different. They are not the same product. So yes, the title discusses the Scottish drink so is correct. Are you aware of the difference in manufacture between the two?
Than Scots perfected amd optimized the production so they can make more of it,that's why is more popular,its dilemma between who invented vs who perfected
@@chefe2152 irish whiskey industry was the biggest in the world from 100 years ago and back. There are many reasons for it'd decline. A major one being irish independence meant it lost easy access to the British empire market and scotch filled the vacancy. But today irish whiskey is having a Renaissance and is growing faster, by far, than any other counties whiskey industry
@@chefe2152 there’s no dilemma. Whoever invented it invented it. Ireland was busy winning its independence rather than whiskey making! Hence why Scotland is still a slave to the crown
Strongest shisky is only 60%? In Romania and Hungary we have plum brandy named palinka or palinca with a strength with a minimum of 70% till like 80% or 85%

I love how far into the Scottish heritage this documentary went. Beautifully presented.
What I felt being a Bartender, this video is the complete syllabus of Whisky/Whiskey.Kudos to the Whisky makers and the makers of the video.
What a beautiful country! I hope I can get there with my wife for several weeks just to travel, taste and see the beauty.
Wow! what a great tip toe through Scotland's history, love that country side and the music. Thank you from Aussie.
This must be at least 20 years old but I really love the old fashioned style of storytelling!

I've been to Scotland. Absolutely loved it. I wish I could go back again. It seem very magical and haunting with it's history and tradition's.
Lovely documentary. Brought a tear to my soul.
Fine documentary, with cultural music and pictures #!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting, Donald!
I watched this documentary, now planning my next holiday to Scotland!!
I did love this. A great thank you!
Loved this! It is great!
Thanks for watching and for the nice comment!
Am profoundly grateful to the Irish & the Scots...for they gave the world whiskey/whisky. 😋
A lovely film, thank you.
I enjoy cold refreshing beverages... 🌎💘💰
Great documentary, thankyou!! If anyone has any links to the soundtrack, yes please!
Look up "My neck, my back" by Khia, it should come up.
Excellent documentary
This is great! Thanks!
Interedting that whiskey as an industry in distilleries congregate in the 1800’s and not before this period..
Love the singing! Should have included some footage of today's treasure hunters like Treasure Hunting Scotland's channel digging a ancient bottle dump and finding ancient Scotch bottles!
Thank you sir!
The wording of this intro is mad.
The best whiskey ever
great information
Other than Ireland essentially creating whiskey, why did John Jameson immigrate to Ireland to create the Jameson brand?
what is the correct pronunciation of Islay?

@@pneducation9878 what
This is almost identical to the Great Scotch Whisky documentary from WalrusWatch
Yup saime storyline and câmera shots
What about the single malt Islay Laphroaig ?
Now you're talking. My favourite Single Malt
Sorry, Ardbeg but Laphroaig and Lagavulin for sure
Laphroaig 10 is my daily driver. It just does something to my taste buds that the other Islay scotches don't. I'm not saying that any of them are inferior at all... Just love my Laphroaig! Lagavulin is a close second... Just wish I could afford it more often.
Laphroaig 10 is my favorite!
What’s the name of the music
I think it's one of those songs - ruclips.net/video/dMzQiu2mUlE/видео.html
My infinity bottle thanks you. 🖒
Wow ❤️
Didn’t mention Octomore, produced by Bunnahahbain, which has peat on steroids in its final bottling.

Next you're gonna say kilts are Irish? 🤣
@@allgore444 What's inaccurate in what I wrote above? Example?

bowmore would be a great resident evil level
I did not think that all scotch whiskies used peat.
There are many scotch whiskys that are not peated
Watching this while drinking blue label
your two years ahead of me, but same!
@@DrakeElliott you should try Monkey shoulder & green label .
Sipping some Laphroaig
👍🏾👍🏾
Great video, too bad the narrator pronounced so many words incorrectly.
Slàinte Mhath!

Americas whisky aka Bourbon beats any Irish or Scotch anyways so 😂

Not bad just how many streams,mountains and rivers can you squeeze into one movie? Would be better filled with facts than nature shots
Strongest shisky is only 60%? In Romania and Hungary we have plum brandy named palinka or palinca with a strength with a minimum of 70% till like 80% or 85%
But whiskey and palinka are completely different things.
You'd get along well with Potín bro
I bet it tastes like shite and all
If the narrator only knew how to properly pronounce ISLAY!
Too much soundtrack on this bud...
just skip it dude
B op. )2🎉6sztz😅
Scotch is ok if you like mud in your whiskey
the fade away transitions are unbearable
whisky it is an english drink..english..or do we lost that war?
kind hearted
I love how far into the Scottish heritage this documentary went. Beautifully presented.
Thank you for watching, Cap. Glad you enjoyed it.
