In this episode, my guest, Justin, learns how to drink whiskey without it burning. This is my favorite tip for people who are trying to acquire the taste of whiskey, so I wanted to walk through it in an episode. Throughout the process, Justin asks many questions that beginners often have about the hobby. In the end, we both go through a review of Rebel Bourbon (AKA Rebel Yell Bourbon).
In this episode, I go through the process that I personally use to taste whiskey. This is the best way that I have found to review a glass of your favorite Bourbon, Scotch, or other whiskey. I also run through some tips and tricks that have helped me pull out more flavors and improve my ability to review whiskey. There are some tips in here that I think even the more experienced whiskey drinkers find helpful, so be sure to listen!
In this review episode, I show my guest, Bryce, one of my favorite tricks for learning how to taste whiskey. We take two different whiskeys and compare them, to see just how large of a range of flavors whiskey can have. Finally, we review both the Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey and the Russell's Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. This episode is great for beginners and experienced drinkers alike. Even multiple years into the hobby, I still use this tip often.
How is whiskey made? In this episode, I briefly go over the main types of whiskey (Bourbon, Scotch, Irish Whiskey, Rye Whiskey, and others), which will each be covered in their own upcoming episodes. Then, I walk through the major parts of the distillation process, and discuss the elements that typically have the most impact on a whiskey's flavor.
In this episode, my guest, Zack, and I go through the practice of using flavor note lists/wheels to help improve our reviewing skills. We do a full, three part review of Redbreast 12 Year Old Irish Whiskey, from nose to palate to finish. Don't forget, if you want to hear about the month's whiskeys before the episodes air so that you can buy them for yourself, send an email with a subject "Email List" to whiskeynoobspodcast@gmail.com!
What is Bourbon? How is Bourbon different from just American Whiskey? What are the kinds of American Whiskey? Why isn't Jack Daniel's the best Bourbon? These are all questions that are answered in this episode of Whiskey Noobs!
In this episode, my guests, Bryce and Autumn, review my favorite beginner bourbon, Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. We do a full review, and I walk through the elements of a good beginner bourbon. Finally, we round it out with a quick "Dr. Pepper Tasting" and discuss their thoughts on drinking Buffalo Trace as beginners.
In this episode, I discuss all things scotch whisky. The regions of Scotland, the flavor notes that you can expect from scotch, why it isn't spelled whiskey, and what is necessary to be considered a Scotch whisky.
In this episode, my guests, Will and Tyler of the Viewer Regression Advised Podcast, review two single malt scotches with me. These whiskies are from different regions of Scotland, giving them very different flavor profiles. We get to see the vast difference between a peated Islay Scotch and a Highland Scotch whisky. Finally, we review Glenmorangie 10 year and Laphroaig 10 year single malt scotch whiskies.
