Whisky Whiskey is a video podcast about my exploration of Whisky in all of its forms.
The artist formerly known at The Famous Grouse, came highly recommended to me by the Scotch 4 Dummies. I look into the constituent components of this dram, the SWAs ruling on Pure Malt vs Vatted Malt vs Blended Malts, as well as the impending sale of the brand to William Grant & Sons. Whilst I was somewhat skeptical at first, I review the Naked Malt and finally truly nail how all-Malts are so distinctively different than grain Whiskies. Is this my new best value Scotch?

The relatively new Glendalough Irish Distillery has produced a series of interesting Whiskies, including their Pot Still release. Will the surprising sweetness win me over and make me smile? Let’s dive in and check it out.

I try a lightly Peated Japanese Whisky that was the first Japanese Whisky I’d tried at the time. Despite my misgivings about Peated Whisky, I give it a good go and the score might just surprise you.

I try the famous Glenfiddich 12 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky, talk a little about the distillery and I also walk through my Whisky rating system.

I try the entry level Jameson Original Irish Whiskey after finding a 200mL bottle on a throw out bin. Was it there for a reason? I begin to wonder, but let’s try it anyway. Also discuss the phenomenon of a Neck Pour and bottle headspace.

I look at The Classic Laddie, try my best Scottish accent and enjoy the higher ABV of this Dram. I also discuss what Dram actually means, as well as two and three finger pours.
