Hey guys id love to see your thoughts on Red Breast 12. I was thinking of picking up a bottle but it would be great to see your opinions first since I have no one to mooch it off
Grand Mooch Poobah i have a bone to pick. We have similar palettes sweet, fruit, cream (“pretty” as Daniel would say). i am now enamored with trying the Elmer T Lee bourbon, Angels Envy, Balblair 2002. i have searched 5 counties. is there an alternative that is delicious as either of these?
Daniel on an old video you gave a food pairing with the whiskey. can you start doing that? i dont want to go try a new whiskey and have ruined my palette with some fried chicken when i should have ordered the steak.
I can recommend the following 10:
Strathisla 12, Aberlour 10, Macallan Green Label (Select Oak), Talisker 10, Woodford Reserve, Jura Origin, Ardbeg 10, Hibiki Harmony, Monkey Shoulder, Highland Park 12
Not in order,
1. Bookers
2. Four roses single barrel
3. Evan Williams Single barrel
4. Angels Envy
5. Hibiki harmony
6. Redbreast 12
7. Highland park Dark Origins
8. Bruichladdich port charlotte
9. Balvenie 12 doublewood
10. Bowmore 15
I recently was able to mooch a brora 37 from a coworker at a cocktail party last week, was one of the best scotch’s ive ever had, and probably my most legendary mooch.
Not common knowledge but Rex’s necklace was inspired by the moochingest of animals; the trash panda (aka raccoon) and household dog (at the dinner table).
Now if we are talking $100 Canadian I might have to swap out Oban and maybe Macallan or Bowmore (Saskatchewan has ridiculous liquor taxes/prices), but I think these are all well under $100 USD.
You guys are awesome. Might finally get me to try Scotch again(terrible experience the first time)! I lean towards Bourbon, likely because I enjoy sweet things, I’ve had to swear off soda. BUT if it wasn’t for people calling it sweet, I wouldn’t classify it as such. I’ve only been really getting into Whiskey for the last few months or so; aside from time spent drinking, is there anything to look for to find this sweetness you guys talk about?
Also curious about your thoughts on Maker’s Mark. Just finished my first glass and…I’m not sure what to think, it almost tastes sour. My current favorites are Jim Beam and Bulleit. It goes down quite a bit differently than those.
First thing’s first. 1) I am cheap, 2) I am fairly new to sipping whiskey, 3) I prefer friendly and pretty whiskeys that are fruit forward and floral/spicy. Here are my favorites so far… Four Roses Small Batch, Four Roses Single Barrel, Elijah Craig, Buffalo Trace, Stranahan’s, Jameson, Forty Creek, Jim Beam Black, Jim Beam Bonded, Larceny.
wow guys thanks for debating my question in the video !!! am going to spend time reading all the replies and let you know which way ill go
Rex, your face is way too close to the bunghole!

A: Because he ate his pizza before it was cool…

-Balvenie Double Wood 12
-Glenmorangie (Nectar D’or) or just the 10

So for “most variety under $100”, I’m going to use prices my American friends pay, since Ontario is a cruel, cruel place to buy whisky.
