Hello Greg, I am new to your channel and enjoying it very much. The taste profiles are fascinating, I agree overall with Paul. You make drinking an art form! I saw a video on Facebook called HOW TO DRINK. Thought it was a crazy topic as drinking, for addicts can destroy lives. You make it an art form and heighten the appreciation factor for people who only occasionally enjoy a drink. If you are going to drink, know what you are doing and savor it. Thank you for all your research and your knowledge base in movies and what not. Yes, I watched quite a few of your videos today. Am from NJ, and appreciate your references to the state. OH, wanted to mention, that peat note, I get what you are saying about the petrol diesel fuel fume taste. I think also that for people from Ireland and other countries that use peat to heat home it also has a deep connection to home for them. just mentioning. not a criticism. Thank you again for such an entertaining presentation with each video, even the edits, which I love and have laughed over repeatedly. sometimes they sound like the chatter in my head when critiquing myself talking. fun stuff.

Not sure it needs the bitters. Thinking of calling it a “Sherrye”. Give it a try if you like sherry.

Loving the new intro style with the theme of the drink playing in the background!

Another factor I love is what happens as the ice melts, and I will change what kind of cubes I'll use based on if melting heightens the yumminess during the drinking (of the drink) 😂 I am in awe of these long slab ice cubes you employ here, and would very much like to know more about them. Johnnie Walker Red is definitely the scotch and soda I will seek next time I'm ordering at a bar because of this. I mostly drink Famous Grouse at home, although when I'm poor Trader Joe's blended scotch is okay too. Better with a dash of lavender bitters though.
