2050:why oil is expensive

This video misses a VERY important part of why. That barrel that’s been sitting there for 30 years isn’t just sitting there. It’s handled, extensively, for 30 years. Rotated, tasted, catalogued, analyzed, and stored for 30 years. A lot of hands and time has gone into that bottle.

@pauldickhaus1803

2 жыл бұрын

They also glossed over taxes and storage space. You're paying taxes on the land those barrels sit on for 50 yrs. In 50 years, you couldve stored 5 seperate barrels of 10 yr old whisky in that spot. Those 5 barrels each would have yielded approx. 85% of their full volume after evaporation compared to the 50 yr old cask at only around 20% remaining volume. So you would get 20x more whisky out of that spot in the rickhouse. Then you have to account for the inflation over 50 yrs in the value of those ingredients, that space, the labor. That's easily another x10 factor so you're looking at approx. 200x cost for a 50yr. whisky compared to a 10 yr. Now add in that the value of your brand may have increased in the last 50 years, the value of scotch as a product due to collectors, etc so you get to add a premium on that of 3-5x and pretty quickly you realize how a 50 yr. scotch can cost 1,000x more that a 10 yr.

Go on and delude yourself that any of that nonsense matters. Of course it doesn't. You can't taste it, though folks like you will bray about it so you can pretend to be sophisticated.

There's something that bothers me in the business. It's been studied, that maturation at oak barrels is optimal at around 24 years. After that, oak doesn't give anything because all the lactates and other substances, which give whisky it's aroma, are already dissolved in to the mix. After that whisky in the barrel starts to lose it's aromas back to the oak and through it to the atmosfere. Also the alcohol is vaporing out. It's somewhere around 65-68alc% when the barrel is filled and if you keep in there for 30 years, it's only 40alc% when you get it to bottle. Also there is less aroma and less content in the barrel. And you can taste it in blind test, 40 year old isn't as aromatic and tasteful as 20 or 24 year old. And yes, I do work in distillery.

Idk, I've only had 10 year aged single malt scotch and it tasted completely different from the other whiskies I've had before.

First, you take the dinglepop, and you smooth it out with a bunch of schleem. The schleem is then repurposed for later batches. Then you take the dinglebop and push it through the grumbo, where the fleeb is rubbed against it. It's important that the fleeb is rubbed, because the fleeb has all of the fleeb juice. Then a Shlami shows up and he rubs it, and spits on it. Then you cut the fleeb. There's several hizzards in the way. The blaffs rub against the chumbles, and the plubus and grumbo are shaved away. That leaves you with a regular old single malt!

Keep in mind the evaporation is much higher at first and drops down. I’ve not heard it estimated as low as 1% though. The master distiller at Pappy Van Winkle says they recover about 12 gallons of whiskey from a 53 gallon barrel after 23 years of aging. The rate of evaporation starts around 8% annually and quickly drops to around 3%. It may be a bit lower in scotch since the barrels are not virgin oak like bourbon barrels are, but the primary driver is scarcity due to the impossible task of market planning 50 years in the future, and angels share.

​@spoons Some bacteria are beneficial, some aren't. Uncooked meat can grow many, many different strains of bacteria. E. coli, salmonella, and listeria are not caused by commercial feeds. Trichinellosis is not caused by commercial feeds, it's present in wild game. Anthrax is endemic many parts of the world, can kill large wild animal populations, and has a fatality rate when consumed by humans of 25-60%. Most harmful bacteria and parasites have an initially mild effect. You may have some gastrointestinal symptoms, or nothing, but the organisms will multiply and sustain a population in the host until the host's innate countermeasures become compromised by something else (injury, exhaustion, scarce diet, viral infection, high stress, lack of sleep, hypothermia, dehydration, etc) at which point the bacteria or parasite is able to grow and overpower the host's defenses and consume the host's resources, further weakening the host and making it susceptible to further infection. This is how old animals die, and why they don't reach human-like ages. Again, it may be healthier but it doesn't scale up well. You may kill your own goat and eat it raw that same day, but don't eat raw goat meat from the local store that's been sitting in a refrigerator for 3 days.

Anything over around £100 a bottle is wasted in me, I just don't have the ability to taste the difference beyond this point. That said I will nurse a £100 bottle like it's a new born kitten, it's a rare treat for myself.

@@5tr4nge75 I've got a fair sized whisky collection, much of which is scotch, and honestly there's nothing wrong with Glenfiddich. It's not *particularly* good but it's definitely not particularly bad either. If anything, it kind of sets the baseline for "alright". It's got an easily drinkable well-rounded profile that is pretty much a textbook Speyside... which is both a good thing (it's very approachable for folks not into scotch) and a bad thing (that textbook flavour profile seems kind of boring to anyone who's really into scotch... it's too inoffensive and lacking in character). It's more balanced than its other overly commercialized rival, the Glenlivet, which is much heavier on the oak (which puts off some novices) and less overpriced than the mediocre expressions of the Macallan (the third of the big 3 over-commercialized distilleries). Personally, I'd rather a Balvenie if I want a Speyside and usually suggest that to novice scotch drinkers too, but I'll admit the 15yr Solera and 21yr Glenfiddich are a pleasant enough dram and I've got a bottle of each in the collection (the 21 was a gift). They're not my go-to scotch by any means (that would be Highland Park since I prefer its balance) but they're fine as a change of pace now and then. The 12yr is inoffensive but underwhelming. Still, the 12yr is a huge improvement as a mixer over most blended scotches (some of which sell of about as much) and I keep a bottle for that purpose. Your other recommendations are all fine scotches, but you've got a pair of Islays in there along with Jura. Those are a very different beast from an easy to drink Speyside like Glenfiddich. Balvenie is a far closer comparison. Honestly, Glenfiddich's worst sin was simply becoming so commercially successful that they're viewed with disdain by a lot of scotch aficionados. They have almost zero cachet as a result. It's a perfectly competent distillery and they occasionally produce some noteworthy whiskies but their green 12yr bottle is practically iconic as one of the single-malts that are bought by people who know nothing about single malts.

I have been a single malt fan for years and even took a trip to Scotland. The truth is a lot of older aged scotches simply tasted like crap until it reached the age they printed on the bottle. Actually asking for the best tasting scotch, with money being no option, they will walk past the expensive display, past the Macallan and pull out a bottle usually between 12-18 years and about £40-£60.

Taste is subjective. There is no best or worst because everyone absolutely has different tastes. Just like some people prefer medium+ cooked steaked over something more rare. Or how some people prefer crispy vs not crispy bacon. Coke vs Pepsi. List goes on and on.

I can see why it ends up costing so much just based on the time it takes to make. A lot of labor and changes happened between those years. Also realize it’s still ridiculous and something 99.99999% of people will ever experience

My Dad used to be the matketing Director of Glenfiddich/Grants whiskey, in the 70s. He eventually developed his own label, Glentalla and Tayside, and was doing well. Then Invergordon and Distillers Co. put all the small independant labels out of business... 😔 this was the 80s/early 90s.

I received a bottle of Yamazaki 12 years old as a gift some years ago. I finished it within a month.

If you like that then you should try one of my personal favorites……….Night train! Or Mad dog 20/20….a little pricey but well worth it!

I feel like this is a bit misleading, honestly. The video's essentially explaining why the ceiling for incredibly rare and specific single malts are so high, and making it sound like the average price is that high. Where I live(Sweden), most single malts cost 30-100€, which is kind of a lot but not sell your house a lot. I mean after all, I expect to pay 30-50€ for rum here, which absolutely doesn't have that prestige. Sure they get really expensive, but that's because there's basically no price ceiling, not because every single single malt costs its weight in diamond. I know it's still not super cheap, but I would 100% have the same reaction if I saw a video called "why cars are so expensive" that spent 90% of screentime talking about why a Lamborghini is expensive: like sure a Ford is expensive too but it's not 300 000 €

I absolutely agree. Single malt whisky is not inherently more expensive to make than other types of whisky. "Single" means it's from one single distillery and not blended with other whiskies, and "malt" means it's made from barley. They make it sound like single malt is so rare it's only for the rich but it's just so common.

The price of Single Malt whisky is decided from just a few factors. The number of years in the cask sets the base price. Then the tasting notes will put a higher price tag on the best tasting casks. The popularity and the status of the distillery will further drive the price up, and last the availibility will make the rarest whiskies the most expensive.
