I'm a Pewdiepie fan and a whisky fan. I didn't know of your channel but by some kind of RUclips algorithm your video on beginners whiskies was suggest to me. I saw this one on the sidebar, I've got to say it was really interesting to see your opinion in a non condescending way and just overall enthusiasm about whisky! Your channel is very nice/10.
He just did a Scotch one and plan on doing a Irish whisky one so we can only hope. Hopefully @Whiskey Vault can make a review of his future videos too, that be nice.
My lead in to this channel was Modern Rogue's video with them. It was actually a really good Whiskey intro, too. ruclips.net/video/M-rjtG_CHzU/видео.html
Same here. I just tried some stillhouse black bourbon. Got interested in whisky. Watched pewds review, then found this channel. And now the merger between the two. It's *VARRY NEYYES*
When children have the means to purchase whiskey will your fallacious argument bear weight. In parting allow me to retort in song form. ruclips.net/video/C78HBp-Youk/видео.html
When I watched the video I was impressed by him being so down to earth with it all. He didn't shit talk other types of whiskeys, he talked about the cheap whiskeys being nice alongside the more expensive ones. I was expecting it all to be a big joke to him to be honest.
I feel like I am about to enter confession here but . . . . I have never tried a Japanese whisky. I have always thought I should. Now I feel like I have been missing out!
I had only tried mainstream whiskys and not really enjoyed it, but when I came to Japan and got Yamazaki (12 year) served I finished eight glasses before the night was done haha :D Very mild alcohol taste with a strong and slightly sweet vanilla taste that I adored.
Viking check list: bald head, check. Big beard, check. Raspy voice, check. Ability to drink copious amounts of plundered whisky, check. Oh also I only wear black V necks, GET THE F$%& OUT!
"If you fight, may you fight for a friend If you steal, may you steal a lovers heart If you drink, may you drink with us". Perfect. Stealing it for a toast.
awesome! if you want to take it up a notch, you can start with. "if you cheat, may you cheat death." one of our regular commenters, Jason Fisk, turned us on to that toast.
This is now one of my favorite channels. I watched this video and I had know idea you guys existed. I fucking love whiskey. I have never bought anything fancy, but I love everything from Texas.
Thanks for the video, I loved the Pewdiepie whisky video and glad that you done this one and I was able to find it. You now have a new subscriber for life!
You guys sure have a really amazing knowledege about whisky . The way you run your channel is really amazing too. I hope you will achieve more in the future
You guys need to conspire with PewDiePie. You should have him review your whiskeys when they hit the market. Instant demand. Great to see how you guys handled this. You didn't bash him like so many others would have. You just corrected a few small errors in a friend way. Very Nice.
You guys are such good fun! I was blessed to live in Japan for almost ten years where I put together quite a collection before the Japanese whisky boom....I absolutely looooove Japanese whisky. Thanks so much for doing this, very much enjoyed watching!
As someone new to whiskey...have been drinking since January 2017, I fail to get the tasting notes that you guys talk about. Though the only one I could try that you talked about was Jack Daniels because here in India this stuff is nearly double the price. But you guys do make me appreciate and love whiskey more and more. Thanks a million. Also pewds is love and I hope he mentions you guys.
Satvik Shah, thank you for watching! The more times you drink whiskey, the more you acclimate to the alcohol burn, and begin to taste the flavors underneath. Just takes some time. 👍
If you think if you think your prices are bad let me make you feel better about your prices. In a US online liquor store a 750ml standard Jack Daniels costs $16.99. Here in my nation from the government liquor monopoly a 700ml bottle of the same is $54.33.
In recent years I've started to get a taste for whiskey (especially bourbon). Up until now I've mostly stuck to the big brands (Jim Beam, Jack Daniels, Four Roses, Canadian Club) and always the most basic versions. After seeing PewDiePie's vid, and about 40 of yours today alone, I've just ordered close to 300 dollars worth of whiskey (and 4 glencairn glasses): - Highland Park 12 - Johnnie Walker Double Black - Four Roses Small Batch - Buffalo Trace - Jameson Caskmates and the kicker: - Hibiki Harmony already in my cabinet: - Jim Beam White Label - Canadian Club - Forrester 86 proof Hope you like my list, tried to get something of everything in there.
Glad I found you guys, your channel is very nice. I'm not a Wiskey drinker but beer brewing fan (here in Quebec the crafting brewery are amazing) and it's a nice passion to share with internet friends !
omg how did I not found this channel.......I am a strong whiskey drinker. been drinking it for 8 years now. started with a blend chivas regal. and went to lagavulin and glendronach and all that sorts of whiskey. but I still have a quite a hard time. tasting and separating certain flavors. still I love your channel. very good info on everything and it makes me love whiskey even more
Thanks for all the knowledge you helped me get my wife in to whiskey she really loves it now and her favorite is rye some Highland scotch and Bourbons. Thanks for helping me with my drinking problem!
I went out this week and got Toki, Yamazaki 12 and TAKETSURU pure malt. I had to search far and wide just to find them. Hibiki Harmony is no where to be found. I'm shopped in north and central NJ. You're closing comments about how Felix's video is affecting the Japanese whiskey market is absolutely true and anyone watching should go out and stock up while you can. Since watching Felix's video I'm starting down the path. Since watching your video in response, you will be my guide.
Shit, already past 11k... I'm pretty sure PewDiePie poured all of those whiskies into the same glass... Don't just send him 1 Glencairn, send him a box. I wouldn't worry about his fan base buying up all the Japanese whisky, 'cause I'm not sure 90% of them are legally able to drink it.
Haha! After a rewind you definitely said "peat smoke." Maybe one of these videos you could troll Daniel about how you are totally getting notes pepperoni pizza.
These fantastic men discuss Whisky/Whiskey the same way, my friends and I discuss Comics and Comic Book Culture. And I appreciate that love and passion they have for Whiskey, and being a younger collector and have a passion for good whiskeys, they excite me for the future, when I have more money for these beautiful liquors
Collecting whisky is something I started slowly before watching this channel…now a new bottle a week is not unusual. Using the Nick Offerman method to drink whisky has insured my collection is still growing and I am only down a couple bottles since the beginning. Sharing a dram with friends has become a new thing but Rex has made me realize sharing just adds to the enjoyment. Thanks for all the episodes and keep them coming! Sei Gesund!
Great content guys! Love me some Japanese Whisky, and the history behind it. Spent a lot of time in the Philippines and Tokyo, and got to try them at a deeply discounted price. For me: Yamazaki 18 (still my top behind Lagavulin) > Nikka Yoichi (love most things I've tried from them [From the Barrel, The Nikka) > Hakushu 12 > Hibiki 17 > Yamazaki 12 > Hibiki 12. Haven't tried the other two Nikkas yet. Thanks again - cheers!
I don't personally like Japanese style whisky to be fair. I had a Nikka Single Malt with my dad that just had this very distinct spirit taste that is very reminicent of rubbing alcohol. This overpowered every taste that was in the whisky to begin with. I am more of a fan of a smooth, round and slightly creamy textured Scottish whisky.
Went back to the same bottle, to correct myself it was actually an imported Nikka Blended whisky but put it in a tulip glass instead of a normal half pint liquor glass and the actual taste of the whisky is so much better. Next time I buy a whisky I might consider the Nikka or the Suntory. Thanks for the tulip glass tip guys!
So about 2 years ago I bought a bottle of Hibiki 12 year at a local retailer for $70. Took it to a cigar tasting that Padron was hosting and sat at a table with a group of regulars. When I pulled out the bottle, everyone stated that they had heard of it but never tried it. Needless to say, we finished the bottle. When I returned home I went back to that retailer only to find they realized that they had priced it incorrectly and bumped it up to about $150. It was the last bottle. I regret not grabbing that bottle because I can no longer find the 12 year. It was a perfect introduction to Japanese whiskey.
I am a Pewdiepie sub and I purchased my first bottle of Whisky from his recommendation. Nikka from the barrel. I found this video from researching Japanese whisky. I have a question : once a bottle has been opened must it be finished by any certain amount of time or will it be ok if left for days/weeks/months etc
Great choice! You have a few years if you keep it sealed and out of direct sunlight. Once the bottle is down to 1/2 or 1/4 you may want to transfer it to a smaller container. If you plan on finishing the whole thing inside of 6 months, you're good to go.
@@WhiskeyVault i have never tried japanese whiskey ever which would you recommend. should i get the nikka from the barrel it doesnt seem to ship to the USA
I'm so glad you guys covered Japanese whiskeys. We have the Santori here in our tiny rural PA liquor store. On a whim I tried it with a friend of mine, as we had never even heard of Japanese whiskey, and were blown away. It almost tasted like its own complete type of unique whiskey. Since then, I'll pick up a bottle every couple of months. Another real unique whiskey I've found (and found not many discussing) is a French whiskey named Bastille. Very floral. Very smooth. With some smoke notes but more so as a part of the cast instead of the lead role. Highly recommended trying it if you can get it in your area
@JimmyLeg, haha dude. I was not being sarcastic. That was a genuine show of respect dude. The man acts like a mooch for the drink, but he knows his shit for the media/YT stuff. Jumping on that opertunity was pretty slick. Not a lot of those come around for a channel like this!
Love this video guys. I haven't tried a whole lot of Japanese whisky and been looking for more to buy. I have a bottle of Harmony (which I love!) as well as Nikka Coffey Grain, Nikka Tsakasuru Pure Malt, and Kikori but that's all. I've seen Yamazaki at a few small liquor stores around town but it's always really expensive so I've never bought a bottle. I see Hakushu all the time so I'll def have to pick that up and also try to find the Yoichi bc that sounded like something I'd really like! I recently saw the Togouchi in a local supermarket recently and was going to ask you about it bc I had no idea what it was. It was a NAS blend for $45 so prob nothing close to what that 18yo he tried is like. Might try it just for kicks.
A blended whisky can be a malt whisky, if I'm not mistaken. It just means there's no grain whisky mixed with the single malt whiskies that make up the blend.
thanks for watching. whiskey reviews are a really small niche on youtube, so we're super grateful for the people we have. even with the relatively small number of subs, we're the 2nd largest whiskey review channel... crazy.
hehe i didn't saw the Pewdiepai video before watching yours, now I see that He likes Lost in translation to :D. Long story short, for me you are the guys to introduce me to PewDiePai content.
loved that your video didn't end up being a buzzfeed style clickbait video. on a side note, if at all... try checking out Pure Scot, i found that to be a very friendly whisky.
I was actually confused at first because I didnt realize Nikka had two different whiskys made with the coffey still. I loooove the coffey grain whisky.
And wow this is pretty polite and well made video. quite amazed it didnt end up as shit talking pewdiepie. good video friends, and it was quite very nice
Super helpful. I only wish you had wide shots of the bottles when you were tasting them. I don't speak Japanese. Would've been great to compare the two videos.
I don't touch whiskeys or alcohol in general (I wince trying out wine at dinners) but Pewdie's whiskey videos were fun to watch , so was was this video cause' you guys are really likable. With that, I'm subbing to you guys. Enjoyed your content.
Honestly I thumbed you down thinking you were just trashing Pewdie Pie,but after watching the full video you guys were fair realizing Whiskey 🥃 tasting is a complex thing to comment on. Thumbs up 👍and a subscribe 🇺🇸
You guys are awesome. Checked out your videos because I watch PewDiePie on a daily basis and I fell in love with your duo (and your awesome beards). I'm also a beginner in the Whiskey world and your channel helped me chose my next purchases ! Big up from Switzerland !
I gotta be honest i may have been baited by pewd's name but this was fkin awesome and that outro is just awesome i subconsciously clicked subscribe xD Thumbs up to you guys xD
I just watched the PewDiePie video...WOW! I guess he has an audience, but for anyone serious wanting truthful information and unbiased opinions on whiskey, your channel is one of the BEST!
@@esvi9818 you know there are 7 billion humans who could've think the same thing and comment the same thing. Just bcus you thought of this same comment, doesn't mean other people haven't too, you entitled piece of shit load. My first experience of drinking whiskey did taste like my throat was on fire and so many people could agree if it was their first time. Lmao, you really out here calling me out, "Stolen" and "Comment"
I realize that this is a dated video but since I’m currently in Japan and I’m buying every bit of Japanese whiskey that I can get my hands on. It’s a shame that most of the aged whiskey is very hard to find. Still on the hunt. Love the video. Semper Fi.
Obviously I'm not the first to say this, but the natural next step is to have him in a video! And my wife glanced at the screen as I was watching this and she immediately recognized the Hibiki Harmony. Such a great bottle(and brilliant marketing)!
I'm a whiskey beginner and broke, but Suntory Red is pretty nice if you have it on the rocks and let the ice melt juuust a little. It's also dirt cheap, though. A decent sized bottle can still be under ￥1000
I know what he got right!

Another real unique whiskey I've found (and found not many discussing) is a French whiskey named Bastille. Very floral. Very smooth. With some smoke notes but more so as a part of the cast instead of the lead role. Highly recommended trying it if you can get it in your area
Rex, Im just going to go out on a limb and guess that this video was suggested by you. Rather smart move my man ;)
nailed it.
Still It, 👍

@JimmyLeg, haha dude. I was not being sarcastic. That was a genuine show of respect dude. The man acts like a mooch for the drink, but he knows his shit for the media/YT stuff. Jumping on that opertunity was pretty slick. Not a lot of those come around for a channel like this!
He's only acting like a mooch? Nooooooooooo
These two are surprisingly good youtubers
Love this video guys. I haven't tried a whole lot of Japanese whisky and been looking for more to buy. I have a bottle of Harmony (which I love!) as well as Nikka Coffey Grain, Nikka Tsakasuru Pure Malt, and Kikori but that's all. I've seen Yamazaki at a few small liquor stores around town but it's always really expensive so I've never bought a bottle. I see Hakushu all the time so I'll def have to pick that up and also try to find the Yoichi bc that sounded like something I'd really like! I recently saw the Togouchi in a local supermarket recently and was going to ask you about it bc I had no idea what it was. It was a NAS blend for $45 so prob nothing close to what that 18yo he tried is like. Might try it just for kicks.
It's a lovely journey to be sure
A blended whisky can be a malt whisky, if I'm not mistaken. It just means there's no grain whisky mixed with the single malt whiskies that make up the blend.
Yes! Although a blended malt will usually say "blended malt". If it says only "blended scotch" it has grain whisky as well.
Right!

Really happy you Grew so much from this. You deserve a lot more Subs that you have.
thanks for watching. whiskey reviews are a really small niche on youtube, so we're super grateful for the people we have. even with the relatively small number of subs, we're the 2nd largest whiskey review channel... crazy.
A Saturday video?! Thank you!
Cory Vanderpoel, thanks for watching! 😀
watching this and listening to you guys makes me wanna start drinking whisky. you just earned yourself a subscriber.
Do you guys like the Roger Moor scene from Lost in translation? Santori speaking.
It's perfect.
hehe i didn't saw the Pewdiepai video before watching yours, now I see that He likes Lost in translation to :D. Long story short, for me you are the guys to introduce me to PewDiePai content.
TBH I wanna hang out with these guys. Such a chill vibe
loved that your video didn't end up being a buzzfeed style clickbait video.
on a side note, if at all... try checking out Pure Scot, i found that to be a very friendly whisky.
oh and their youtube video of the product is... interesting lol

hahahahah. I love that video. I love how fast it is, how well cut, etc. Thanks for watching!
Strangely I found PewDiePie's video from your channel... then his video brought me right back here. I'm home!
Subscribed. Awesome content.
J.P. Roulet, thanks. Glad you're here 😀
I was actually confused at first because I didnt realize Nikka had two different whiskys made with the coffey still. I loooove the coffey grain whisky.
And wow this is pretty polite and well made video. quite amazed it didnt end up as shit talking pewdiepie.
good video friends, and it was quite very nice
Super helpful. I only wish you had wide shots of the bottles when you were tasting them. I don't speak Japanese. Would've been great to compare the two videos.
Nikka coffey grain was my gate way whisky, but now I find it a bit simple
stephend50, what do you like these days?
I don't touch whiskeys or alcohol in general (I wince trying out wine at dinners) but Pewdie's whiskey videos were fun to watch , so was was this video cause' you guys are really likable. With that, I'm subbing to you guys. Enjoyed your content.
Honestly I thumbed you down thinking you were just trashing Pewdie Pie,but after watching the full video you guys were fair realizing Whiskey 🥃 tasting is a complex thing to comment on. Thumbs up 👍and a subscribe 🇺🇸
You guys are awesome. Checked out your videos because I watch PewDiePie on a daily basis and I fell in love with your duo (and your awesome beards). I'm also a beginner in the Whiskey world and your channel helped me chose my next purchases ! Big up from Switzerland !
Glad you're here!
Gay

Glad you're here!
Guys loved the channel, keep up the good work
This is one of the rare videos with pewdiepie in the title that i'm not mad about
Him being like "wrap it up" is why I 200% love this channel...
A video on Saturday! Damn, at work and can't have a glass.......
>sigh
I just watched the PewDiePie video...WOW! I guess he has an audience, but for anyone serious wanting truthful information and unbiased opinions on whiskey, your channel is one of the BEST!

@@esvi9818 you know there are 7 billion humans who could've think the same thing and comment the same thing. Just bcus you thought of this same comment, doesn't mean other people haven't too, you entitled piece of shit load. My first experience of drinking whiskey did taste like my throat was on fire and so many people could agree if it was their first time. Lmao, you really out here calling me out, "Stolen" and "Comment"
As I'm drinking whisky right now, couldn't help but notice pewdiepie in the title. Definitely had to check you guy out. Great stuff!
great video love being educated on whiskey!!!
I fell in love with Yamazaki 12 when I tried some from my granny’s stock.
A video?.....in MY weekend?!
Edit: Well, now I have Hakushu on my shelf...you bastards.
I realize that this is a dated video but since I’m currently in Japan and I’m buying every bit of Japanese whiskey that I can get my hands on. It’s a shame that most of the aged whiskey is very hard to find. Still on the hunt. Love the video. Semper Fi.
"Do you prefer santori or nikka?"
"Yes"
Fun fact! The Glencairn glass was created and produced in my town. They also make pretty much every other whisky glass you'll see come across.
On a Saturday!!! I LOVE IT
Obviously I'm not the first to say this, but the natural next step is to have him in a video!
And my wife glanced at the screen as I was watching this and she immediately recognized the Hibiki Harmony. Such a great bottle(and brilliant marketing)!
Those bottles are amazing. I usually try to keep them and use them for decanters after they're empty

I'm a whiskey beginner and broke, but Suntory Red is pretty nice if you have it on the rocks and let the ice melt juuust a little. It's also dirt cheap, though. A decent sized bottle can still be under ￥1000
