A great analogy for the complexity of flavors. Maybe I just haven't had a large enough variety of the Irish, but they've always seemed shallow in their depth of flavors, even while being very very good. Bourbons and Rye can be very complex by comparison, even if you're using a similar mash. Regional grains and styling in the USA can create that complexity. I will say that two of the things we Americans and the Irish can get along on are our preferences for 1: drinking and 2: fighting. :D

I never tasted Irish Whiskey until 10 years ago when a guy from Ireland opened a Pub here in North Carolina. I started trying them even though I’m not a big drinker. I noticed a huge amount of variety among the Irish whiskeys I tried. I liked all of them pretty well and there was something about each that seemed different than the American bourbon and whiskey I’ve tried. I can’t drink now because of health reasons. I wish I’d had a chance to try a few different kinds of Scotch whiskey too before I had to give it up.

All bourbons are aged in brand-new oak barrels that have been charred. Each barrel is used only once. That's what gives it such a unique flavor. Those used bourbon barrels, of course, are often sold off to be used as aging barrels for something else, including some wines.

That's one criteria. The full list is: "For a whiskey to call itself bourbon, its mash, the mixture of grains from which the product is distilled, must contain at least 51% corn. (The rest of the mash is usually filled out with malted barley and either rye or wheat.) The mash must be distilled at 160 proof or less, put into the barrel at 125 proof or less, and it must not contain any additives. The distillate must be aged in a new charred oak barrel."

I’ve seen them get thrown into a wood chipper then sold as BBQ wood chips.

Darren is a damn sommelier or something! Excellent paring & challenge episode between Irish Whiskey & American Bourbon.

I absolutely LOVE the comment: "This one will tell you a story, and this one will sing you a song"!

'Something that'll make you make noises only dolphins can hear' is a fantastic metric, Paddy. XD I love it.

"This one tells you a story. This one sings you a song." I really loved that.

Due to the difference in climate, a year in Kentucky in a new barrel is like 4+ years in an used barrel in Ireland.

American of Irish descent here. Irish whiskeys, to me, are generally *smoother,* or what I refer to as "cleaner," partly because they're triple-distilled. Bourbons are rough on my pallette, heavier because they're aged in *original* oak casks while most other whiskeys are aged 8n used Bourbon barrells. Favorite Irish whiskey is Jameson Cask Mates Stout Edition and favorite Bourbon (so far) is Woodford Reserve.

So here is the interesting Fact, Bourbon needs to be aged in new white oak barrels, and once they are used once, they cant be used to make any more bourbons.....So they sell those barrels to Irish and Scotch manufacturers for cheap, So Bourbon manufacturing makes Irish Whiskey cheaper to produce.

The owner of the company I work for gets Jim beam barrels and three semi trucks of wine grapes then sell it all to his rich buddies to make wine and ferment the grapes in the whiskey barrels, we'd work under the table on weekends what we'd call wine days lol but there was always some bourbon left in the barrels not much but he'd buy like 30 barrels so there'd be enough collectively for each of us to get a half bottle. Come Christmas we'd each get a bottle of bourbon barrel wine

“charred” new white oak barrels

@@christopherhoff1696 don't know why that matters to my comment, but yes and there are many different levels of charring, and to my understanding there is no minimum level or max level of charring for it to be called bourbon.

Darren was great, really knew what to look for. Took his time but was quite definitive. Had Ciara at the end realizing she still have more to learn

My favorites are the single malt Glenlivet and Johnny Walker Blue.

🤣 those sipping Vs the slamming back 🤣

I love how they are taking the small batch irish whiskeys you can't even find in most liquor stores and comparing it to Jim Bean which almost counts as wood flavored mouthwash

Yea the wild turkey is pretty special for a major brand, I would have preferred to see makers 46 or 101 instead of devils cut

Darren is my favorite on the alchohol shoots, he deciphers the drink and its elements so well.

Great breakfast TV segment.

I think and estimate in feet, miles and gallons - it's like my mother tongue, it's hard-coded in my brain. But when it's time to measure and cut the board, or bake - my measuring tools are metric. The math is so much easier.

I have tried blind taste test (3 rounds of only two bourdons). You picked up the most of the flavors by the 2nd and 3rd sips. By the 3rd shot, we couldn't tell which one was which and they tasted very different during the first round.
