      A great analogy for the complexity of flavors. Maybe I just haven't had a large enough variety of the Irish, but they've always seemed shallow in their depth of flavors, even while being very very good. Bourbons and Rye can be very complex by comparison, even if you're using a similar mash. Regional grains and styling in the USA can create that complexity.
      I will say that two of the things we Americans and the Irish can get along on are our preferences for 1: drinking and 2: fighting. :D

    I never tasted Irish Whiskey until 10 years ago when a guy from Ireland opened a Pub here in North Carolina. I started trying them even though I’m not a big drinker. I noticed a huge amount of variety among the Irish whiskeys I tried. I liked all of them pretty well and there was something about each that seemed different than the American bourbon and whiskey I’ve tried. I can’t drink now because of health reasons. I wish I’d had a chance to try a few different kinds of Scotch whiskey too before I had to give it up.

    Darren really seems to know his whiskeys. I do have to say that there were repeated comments that this was whiskey vs Bourbon, but Bourbon is in fact whiskey.
    I am American. My first experiences with whiskey (as is probably the case for most people) was budget blended whiskeys, usually in cocktails. My first time really tasting good whiskeys was when I was touring Ireland at the age of 31. For some time, Irish whiskey was all I drank (in terms of whiskey), but I became a confirmed Scotch drinker about a decade later. It wasn't until I was in my early 50s that I first started trying good quality American whiskey, focusing on Bourbons. Now 62, I have developed very broad taste of whiskeys and can honestly say that truly fine examples are made in many countries, and as I have never been one with very nationalist tendencies, I will just as happily drink a fine whiskey from the US, Ireland, Scotland, Japan, Taiwan, or wherever, and I will never say one country is categorically best.

    All bourbons are aged in brand-new oak barrels that have been charred. Each barrel is used only once. That's what gives it such a unique flavor.

      That's one criteria. The full list is: "For a whiskey to call itself bourbon, its mash, the mixture of grains from which the product is distilled, must contain at least 51% corn. (The rest of the mash is usually filled out with malted barley and either rye or wheat.) The mash must be distilled at 160 proof or less, put into the barrel at 125 proof or less, and it must not contain any additives. The distillate must be aged in a new charred oak barrel."

    "At first I enjoyed the game, and then at the end I guessed wrong so now I think the game is stupid and wrong and we shouldn't have done it." Cracks me up because i know so many people like this.

      I have tried blind taste test (3 rounds of only two bourdons). You picked up the most of the flavors by the 2nd and 3rd sips. By the 3rd shot, we couldn't tell which one was which and they tasted very different during the first round.

      Honestly, that sentence is just the human condition.

    Darren and Ciara nailed the origin each time well done. Was delighted to see Wild Turkey lead off for the US :) Paddy not so sure you "make a sound only dolphins can hear" will encourage some to try whiskey.

    Great content. I've watched several "TRY" whiskey videos, and I enjoy the conversations.
    Witty personalities driving creative dialog.
    As a fan of the Costco/Kirkland brand, I would enjoy hearing your tribe's opinions regarding the Kirkland branded liquors.
    There are 2-3 bourbons, a "Kentucky" whiskey, some blended scotches, some single malts, an Irish whiskey, and an Irish cream.
    Obviously, they wouldn't prevail in taste tests against the top tier brands, but my guess is they could fare well against preferable whiskeys.
    Just an idea if you ever visit the US, again, or if you can find Kirkland booze over there.
    Thanks again for the nifty video.
