On behalf of myself and the malt mates and maidens around me in Québec City, I thank you Ralfy. I am organizing wee informal masterclasses (up to my 5th in 6 months so far) and I sprinkle your knowledge in them to entertain the crowd :D
Well done, sir! One thing you might put on the list for a future video: food pairings! Particularly cheese; the wine snobs are spoiled for advice, but there's very little information out there on pairing cheese with spirits!
You did mention a while ago you would address nosing kits. I would appreciate your thoughts on these kits and their use and value if you have the time Ralphy.
A couple of Googlings after the lesson: acrospire - the 1st nub of a sprout from the malted grain Bohemian - (Wiki)- "Bohemians were associated with unorthodox or anti-establishment political or social viewpoints, which were often expressed through free love, frugality, and voluntary poverty." Progressing on, I've just finished off my bottle of Jura 16yo, and will pull the cork of a Rosebank 19yo as soon as I hit the post button....will report back with a review of Rosebank, maybe.
Hey there Ralfy, I'm a hobby woodworker and I know there are many different sorts of wood that smell and look as rich as oak ofr example ceder or beech. But why Does it always seems whisky and other alcoholic beverages like wine, genever etc. ripe on oak and not on other sorts of wood ? It keeps me wondering. Keep on malting !
@ralfystuff just meant to be a bit of self depricating humour, my friend. I suppose that alcohol will increase the audible volume of a room in most cultures! :)
RE: the statement about getting loud and interrupting: So what you are saying is that at a whisky master class, after a few drinks, everyone attending turns into Americans? lol. :)
This and the advanced one are a great series of videos, thank you.
Thanks for the amazing masterclass. I've watched them all and enjoyed those whisky facts. ;)
Ralfy, big thanks for a great MasterClass. Proud is what you should be...nothing else like it on the RUclips.

Keep going Ralfy. These companies should be thanking you.

*stands up and claps* Bravo Ralfy Bravo
Brilliant series of videos, you should indeed be proud
Excellent series, thank you very much for that, it could be long long TV documentary film all together, greetings from Czech republic ;-)
Job well done with your class! You did a thorough and great job! Cheers!
Excellent! Entertaining and to the point. Cuts through lots of the stuff that is, quite frankly, BS when some people talk about whisky. :-)
I was wondering if the best of the best scotches come from the casks that have matured the best of the best sherry, bourbon, etc.
Oh and btw, this has been an excellent learning as well as entertaining experience. Super enjoy all your vids I've seen so far! Thanks!

they don't use rye at all in Scotland?

G! Grants!
@blott1978
I tend to tell people to go in moderation at first and then we use no more than half of an ounce per glass. hope this helps :)
do Shetland ponies also like to get drunk?
