    Sometime when you do a tasting battle, don’t reveal what the two countries are. Mystery tasting-you won’t be trying to guess which one is Irish. It’s easier to pick the one you truly prefer. Unless you are Darren and he will probably know which is Irish anyway.

    I've become a true lover of Tullamore DEW. During the pandemic, my local establishment was struggling to get Jameson. So, they started carrying Tullamore instead. I instantly became a huge fan. It's like a perfect marriage. The main label is aged in used bourbon barrels. That charred oak finish and the angel's notes of bourbon left in the wood smooth Tullamore out so much more and so much faster. They also make a whiskey finished in rum barrels, which I don't recommend, and one finished in sherry barrels that I've yet to try.
    I was lucky enough to tour the distillery in November of 2021 when I could finally take my trip that had been on hold for close to 2 years.

      I'd 100% put Darren in that group, and he's actually the most knowledgeable on whiskey out of the 4 of them. The man knows his shit.

      I agree, the tryers you listed are pretty much the Holy Trinity of TRY, but when they're absent - Darren by himself is more than capable to carry the show.

    Darren: It feels like it has been triple distilled. Thomas just releases air in total astonishment and adoration.

    Love the content just hope next time they match the aging years, because it would be hard to find a whiskey aged 5-7 years that would beat a whiskey aged 24 years on aroma, and taste

    Tullamore Dew goes down like water, and that's why it's a favorite for shots, and for hot toddies.

    Whiskey, out of most other types of spirits, changes radically when you add water down to around 20% whiskey to water. Which is why it tastes so different when you take different sips as the ice melts (and why you don't want the clear, slow-melting ice cubes unless you want to wait 15 minutes to finish your whiskey). So it's not really a complete comparison when just having it neat (assuming it's room temp).

    To Niall's glorious mane, Paddy's quips, Darren's discerning palate, Thomas' laymaning about, and to Seamus and Eadaoin... the Whiskey Spirits will likely tell you, "Chin up!" after seeing you hang your heads.

    Ive heard before that general Japanese whikey will follow traditional scotch profile but will tend to be more lowkey and floral than traditional scotch. The main reason why is that when the craft of whiskey making was brought to Japan, the Japanese distillers took their instruction from Scottish distillers, but they had a hard time breaking into the mainstream of Japanese culture because the whiskey they were presenting was generally too assertive for the Japanese palate, so the Japanese distillers started incorporating local ingredients to compensate, thus the culture of Japanese Whiskey was born.

  • @toddabbott781
    @toddabbott781 Před rokem +2

    Why not do the black barrel from the second drink with the Japanese barrel aged whiskey from the first?

    It Darren wasn't in this video, nobody would have said that. Maybe, Ciara. Then again.

    • @Patryn71
      @Patryn71 Před rokem +5

      I think Darren is easily more knowledgeable than Ciara when it comes to whiskeys. She might be able to drink them all under the table and make a mean cocktail, but when it comes down to a neat pour and being able to identify it, Darren wins hands down.

    Kurayoshi and Togouchi are imported scotch bottle in Japan, Nikka from the barrel is a blend of scottish and Japanese whisky... so basically only the nikka discovery was actually Japanese whisky..

    Drinking Nikka From The Barrel as I watch this. Probably one of the best daily drinking whiskeys I've ever had. But none of these whiskeys in the comparison suck. I'm happy drinking all of them.
