  • This week!
    We sit down for a series titled, HOW TO BECOME A WHISKEY EXPERT! with my good friend Barry Laminack.
    We walk through how to taste because Barry thinks Whiskey Notes are made up!
    So I put him through the Gauntlet and teach him HOW to taste.
    Whiskey Neat is a Radio show on iTunes and ESPN 97.5 FM in Houston and is brought to you every week by the following sponsors.
    Waterford!
    If you're familiar with the concept of Terroir in wine, you'll appreciate Mark Reynier's Waterford "Single Malt Whisky" from Ireland. Mark is combining his Scotch whisky and fine wine talents to produce an authentic series of Irish Single Malt Whiskies based on traditional wine industry principles.
    2021 Icons of Whisky - Brand innovator and Irish Distiller of the year - San Francisco World Spirits Competition Double Gold - one of 750com's Game Changers is proving that Waterford is indeed different.
    How? Authenticity! The Terrior code on each bottle reveals the entire story of that whisky. Full disclosure, full traceability.
    100% pure Irish barley creates an intensity of flavor derived from exceptional steps in the distilling process. Waterford is gastronomic because it's honest.
    Waterford's Single Farm Origin is one farm, one whisky. The collection reveals the Terroir of each farm and its unique flavor profile.
    Waterford's Arcadian series: Flavor through Agronomy - Organic Gaia and Biodynamic Luna - Single Malt Whiskies
    Waterford's hyper-rare Cuvée series: Flavor through complexity, layering components from several farms
    Widely available across the US, visit our friends at glassrev.com to discover "where to buy" this innovative, game-changing new single malt whisky.
    Waterford - sometimes subtle, sometimes powerful, always unique.

    I'd be super cool if someone put each bottle they tried with a timestamp on it!

    I think most people would disagree and say whiskey does air out or oxidize.

      You are correct that many people would say it oxidizes but that does not make it true. There are many things that are passed down in this hobby that arent actually based on science. Chemically it is absolutely not oxidizing, but rather abv is slowly evaporating and the solids in the liquid are concentrating but that process takes much longer than you realize. No one in the industry who actually works with the liquid believes in the neck pour and in fact Brent Elliot of Four Roses laughs at this notion that your spirits change after opening in the short term. The science simply does not support it and if you do a truly blind tasting, the phenomenon disappears. Which means its in your head.
