I'm going to be that guy. The color and flavor of whiskey don't have the relationship you described. It is everything to do with the presence and influence of the cask its aged in. Many heavy, peaty, Islay scotches like Laphroaig and Ardbeg are quite light in color. Usually scotch whiskey is lighter than bourbon seeing as though bourbon is aged in brand new casks with a fresh char and scotch is typically used in refill casks.

+Joe Hahn also there's no regulation against using caramel colouring in scotch whisky other than having to list its inclusion on the box in certain regions.

GIANT ANGRY ROBOT correct, but the inclusion of Carmel coloring will be used to darken whisk(e)y. Not lighten the color

Also in hotter climates, the whisk(e)y is absorbed much more into the wood casks, leading to a darker finish

While I love a good single malt I recently enjoyed a superb blended Japanese whiskey- Hibiki 12 year a friend brought back from a trip to Japan. The faceted bottle is to die for.

Susan, Great choice! My favorite is also from Japan. The Yamazaki 12 and 18 are to die for.

My favorites are definitely the Koval single millet whisky, buillet bourbon or rye, westward oregon malt whisky, e.h taylor straight rye whisky, anything from buffalo trace, then of course bushmills is a cheaper go to for me

You guys should try the Edradour 10 year olds. they taste great

My favorite is bell's. Its the most popular in England.

A thing I like about Straight Bourbon is that no colour can be added, but in a scotch for example, added caramel colouring should not affect the taste. Anyhow, good video guys!

What is the English expression for 'Fremdschämen'? 🤔

What do you think about adding some water before tasting?

I think you should at least taste the whiskey before adding water to it. Adding water is not a bad thing it just brings out the more subtle flavors of the whiskey. -GL

What is your opinion of gentlemen jack

The Green Spot, BEST WHISKEY EVER. It's an Irish whiskey that I was turned on to by a man from Ireland. Aged 5yrs in white wine barrels. Has some notes of green apples caramel and some wheaty/bready kind of notes too. They have a Yellow Spot that's 8yrs aged in red wine barrels. If you ever get a chance to have a glass DON'T PASS IT UP.

Hey George! Did anybody from you're whiskey society slap you like Richard Patterson? Right after you shoot the whiskey down your throat like its a cheap shot? Everything was correct information and then.. Gulp!.. Quickly down the hatch, like it's a cheap tequila shot.. 😞

+Gent's Lounge if you're drinking whiskey it should be a good-sized sip. I am referring to the amount of time that you held it in your mouth, you shot it down very quickly cheap liquor. It's something expensive and worthy of being savored, and tasted properly. It would be nice to see you do that in future whiskey tasting videos.

Please try to chew on you whisky for at least 4 sec.Or put Some little water to pull out the div. Smells out of your whisky.I like your vid

I like to deink mine straight from the bottle popping some Xanax

It's against the law for American whiskeydistillers to artificially color their whiskey. The color is 100% from the new charred white oak barrels they use to age their whiskey.

Gent's Lounge... American whiskey makers can color blended whiskies only. For consistent color purpose. However if they use artificial coloring they by law have to print it in the bottle. And i have never seen that printed on a jd. Bottle.

Anthony Humphries The JD sugar maple filtering doesn't change the color of the whiskey at all. It goes in clear. And comes out the other side clear. All the charcoal filtering does is remove impurities that make Unwanted flavors in their whiskey.
