What brand is your whisky tasting glass?
As you always say, expensive doesn’t mean better. But sometimes drinking a bottle of something rare or expensive and saving it for those “special occasions” just feels good. This is one of the reasons why I watch your reviews. So I have an idea of which special occasion bottle to spend my money on without being disappointed. Great video.
I wonder why no one actually invests in research to synthesize whiskey that is as flavorful as these “naturally” made ones.
You said you knew why they didn’t put an age on the bottle, but you never said why?
have u ever tried Oban single malt?
HMMMM,ONLY ONCE ILL TASTED BUT SO MUCH STILL FASCINATING IN MY MOUTH,I LIKE IT
I wanted to watch a video reviewing the whisky, not a 10 minute history lesson!!!!
Damm this guy’s quick analysis and overachiving sense of smell of the fruits and molecules infused in the drink just astound me
its whiskey not mouthwash. play lawn bowls mate your probably better at it.
there is a bottle of this at a liquor store in nebraska, usa selling for $559
I purchased a case at a fairly deep discount. I read up on the reviews however that did reflect on whether I would be buying but wanted to see what the word was. I am VERY disappointed. I see and taste nothing special about this item. Its is not at all smooth, and right from the very first sip it has a very spicy, fair amount of smoky leather, and quite briny taste. No real chewy mouth feel. and is NOT better than the JW Blue. Fruit minor at best but I dont really taste it. Vanilla no. Spicy oaky wood yes. You can tell its not that old by the power of the Scotch` harshness. There is just nothing special about this over priced bottle….Sorry.
It would have been interesting to here a side by side comparison with the Blue Label.
Brilliant video, sir! As always.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Cheers from Brazil.
Does whiskey ever just taste like whiskey?
Class, simply class all the way. Love your channel. Smooth like a Dean Martin tune. God bless.
just prestige
Seems crazy to put artificial color in a $300+ whiskey!
You are the best

You must have been told before, but you sound like *Christoph Waltz* 🙂 amazing
Love your channel. I’ve just discovered it today, but I’ve always enjoyed whiskey, and you’re giving me some really great insight into what one should look for in a quality whiskey.
Whisky Johnnie Walker Odyssey 750 ml
Too expensive. Poor value.
Good video. Great back story about the King.
I have a bottle (750 ml). Here in Texas it cost me $541.25 USD (including tax).
The only thing I take umbrage to is you did it in a yellow and blue striped polo shirt while sitting in a fully-pinned leather club chair.
Where did you get the King George V mirror? I want one.
