The only problem with this video is that you're on the other side of the planet. Hugs don't travel that far. This is my go to for anyone curious about how this thing fell into our glass. Epic. I know the effort that went into this. I'm gutted I'm your second patron. I wanted to be the first. Brilliant Phil. Superb work. Just....ineffable.
So grateful to have you join me on Patreon. It will make these videos more justifiable. That really means a lot coming from you Roy! Appreciate all you do.
. . . You are putting expensive marketing campaigns to shame here Phil !
Ha thanks Ralfy!
Love that the first example from CZcams was Ralfy as well as top comment
What a treat. Seeing Ralfy here. Slange var Ralfy.
This has to be the best produced video I've ever seen about Scotch. Great music, transitions, b-rolls, scripting - well done good sir, well done! I learded a ton watching this and will encourage others. Cheers! -Drew
Thanks Drew! Means a lot coming from you. Would love to hear what the others think!
A masterpiece. Felt moved at the end by the realisation that I get to be a part of this new golden age of whisky. Thanks so much for sharing this breathtaking story. Bravo.
It sure is an exciting time to be a consumer of whisky! Cheers Ben!
Phil, this was a masterpiece. I’ve been watching whiskey-tubers for the past few years now, and this is unlike anything I’ve seen from any other channel. Truly impressed with the depth of historical research you did to make this video. And you made it fun & entertaining! Yes please, we need more. Cheers!
Brilliant full-blown documentary on a topic so many of us are passionate about. Fantastic watch.
Thanks so much Jeff! Appreciate you watching!
Phil! OMG!!!!
What an amazing video! I feel honored to be in the last little section there. ❤️
You put almost all of to shame with these videos, haha 🤣
I learned so much! Thank you!
Thanks so much! It’s so excited we get to be a part of the current whisky golden age
I've been in to whisky for close to 20 years. Slowly diving deeper and deeper in to drinking, collecting, doing tastings, whisky clubs, ...you name it! I was thoroughly impressed by your level of dedication in this video to bring us the history of what is whisky. Very impressive. Slainte!
Thank you!
Man this is pretty slick! Not gonna lie... learned a lot here. Well done, Phil! Awesome watch! Oh, and agree about Illicit Still... damn good. Cheers!
Thanks Geoff! I agree, I like it! Hope you didn't mind me featuring you there at the end..
@@FirstPhilWhisky Not at all!
I'm blown away by the quality of this video, Phil. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. Bravo! You've given the rest of us a high bar for whisky video content, so… thanks? ;) Keep up the great work, you've earned another Patreon supporter. Cheers, mate!
Thanks Kevin! Means a lot coming from you. Really appreciate you joining me on Patreon. Cheers!!
@@FirstPhilWhisky I always pay for quality content, Phil. Slàinte!
Worth every minute in this video. Very nice and complete. From drama, action suspense and lots of whiskey. You can see the great work behind the camera, good editing and post-production. I definitely enjoyed it and learned a lot. More videos like this please.
Thanks Marc!
This is one of the most beautiful videos on CZcams, I love it so much. The level of the detail in this is fantastic, and the editing is impressive. This is just about the best whisky history video I've seen.
Every few months, I rewatch this. Such an amazing video.
That’s awesome! Thanks David!
Awesome job Phil, such a slick piece of work... 29 mins flew bye my friend incredible production.... Keep them coming buddy...
Thanks Alan! Glad the video didn't drag. I considered releasing it in two parts, but then would rather people got in the flow of it when watching. Cheers mate. Hope to share a dram one day.
Recently discovered your channel while trying to discover more about whiskey and especially scotch. I have really learned a lot from your channel and I really enjoy your insight. Also loved the adoring fan cameo haha. Cheers!
Phil all I can say is WOW! This is a brilliant compilation and distillation of our passion. You are incredibly skilled (photography, video, editing, audio, scripting... need I continue?). I think you pulled all the essential concepts in and explained them so clearly. I just finished "Bourbon" by Fred Minnick and it takes an entire book to summarize the shorter timeline of bourbon. You highlighted the interesting parallels of the boom and bust cycles especially with the rise of white liquors. Although I recommend Minnick's book, I will tell everyone who will listen to watch this masterpiece you have put out.
Thanks so much Bud! Appreciate that. Sounds like a great book too, will have to look into it.
Just wanted to say that I appreciate your work. Thanks for doing these videos!
Thanks Bud! Great to have you watching
Phil you're a star!! I've been binging all your videos since yesterday and I can't get enough! Love the style and would watch pretty much anything you put out. I would definitely be interested in the history of Irish and Japanese whiskies!
Thanks Anna! Really appreciate that. Grateful to have you watching 👍🥃
Dude this production quality is beyond phenomenal
Cheers dude!!
Wow. Great video Phil, I could feel the passion for the subject in the production levels. A really enjoyable watch.
The history of whiskey was a big part my initial interest in it. Three years ago I was just simply recording to document my initial interest in whiskey... never could have imagined this WhiskeyTube thing could explode with me in it. I've connected with people all over the planet thanks to our mutual adoration and appreciation of whiskey. Whiskey is truly a special part in the history of mankind, and I feel this video of yours helps to clue others in about that.
Thanks mate! Yeah it’s so exciting that we get to be part of the current golden age of whisky while also in the digital age. It’s amazing who I have got to know and learn from
great job mate. really appreciated
This man needs more subs! This content is so good and it's awesome to see bigger channels showing love in these comments. I can't wait to see what Phil pulls out in the future when this is the quality already.
Hey thanks Tim! Means a lot!
I had to pause the video to comment before i forget to do it. I have been watching so many of your videos on your last days and this one is my favorite. You put so much work into it and so much information. Thank you very much for this.... Now excuse me, I'll keep watching the video.
Thanks so much Jair!
I've watched this video at least a dozen times and every time I feel like I learn something new. I know you mention that these types of videos take a long time but without these types of videos there is no way we would have found all this information on our own. Thanks Phil!
Really appreciate that. And glad the video still holds up.
Fantastic! So informative and fun.
Always informative, great videos. Thanks Phil!
Well done Phil!!!! Thanks a lot for this work.
Terrific work! Well done.

Great video, Phil! Loving the channel, and learning a lot as I'm pretty new in my whisky journey. Kiwis punching above, as per. Cheers from across the ditch. Love visiting New Zealand and looking forward to being able to travel there again at some point after all of this *gestures at everything*

Thank you!
This is the best Whisky related video i have ever seen on CZcams.
Well done Phil!
Thanks Fraser!
I've always been under the impression that the way we consume whisky today has been the case since pretty much forever. I had no idea it only started to form in the mid 20th century. Thanks for the informative video!
What a fantastic video, really well produced and an all round entertaining video - this will the first video I recommend to anybody who ever expresses an interest in whisky history.
Cheers Daniel! That means a lot! Grateful to have you recommending it to others!
Very interesting Phil.
Thanks for sharing.
