The Whiskey Scene is huge and with the rise of craft beers came the rise of craft whiskies and enthusiasts who are looking to learn more about aqua vitae (The water of life!)
I'm Bill, and The Whiskey Dictionary is a channel of passion and education. I want to teach you about the wide world of whiskey, the history of brands, how to nose (smell), taste, and thoroughly enjoy Bourbon, Scotch, Rye, Irish Whiskey, Japanese Whiskey, Canadian whiskey and everything else those fine distillers can throw at us!
Every whiskey review comes with my personal rating of "Stock it", "Buy It", "Taste It", or "Ignore it".
I post a new video every week and sprinkle in the occasional live stream (Typically on Thursday)
Thanks for watching and if you learned something, remember to subscribe!

Really interesting!
I started off strong when when I was at a pool party drinking Jameson 18yr
That's a fun one to drink! I also find myself giving people really nice pours whenever they come to my house
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary 👍🏻
The wee beastie was the Worst stuff That I ever had. Like smoke flavored dirt.
Do you enjoy other smokey whiskies?
Nice to see a product review! Aged and Ore seems like a good company. Have you ever used their neat glass?
They gave me one along with this bag. It's similar to the Norman. Not my style, but the little travelers thing is cool
Love the age and ore products! Thank you for this video. I enjoy the episodes where you discuss “whiskey culture.” Thanks Bill!
I do as well! Reviewing whiskey is fun, but I prefer these kinds of videos
Lol, carrying the dog!
It had to be done
Saw an ad for this a week or 2 ago. I want something like this that would fit better in a suitcase though or have protection all the way through the bag at least. Great for a road trip or bottle share like you say though.
It's funny, I was just speaking with the owner about a similar idea I've had since my first trip to Texas.
Yes!!👍
Look interesting? Check it out here bit.ly/AOBottleCaddy
Best distillery tasting I did in Scotland was at Bruichladdich
I absolutely believe that
Johnnie Walker Black is my go-to when showing someone Scotch. The Glennfiddich 12 was sooo disappointing.
Just gotta love this Channel ❤
Thanks Roger!
By the way if your olfactory system functions properly any tumbler is good enough for the ritual of nosing...
Very well explained, thanks.
To many whiskeys are becoming to expensive for the average person to try because a purchase of a bottle is way over priced. Looking for alternatives and drinking less because of the price increases. Both of these are over priced and because of this out of the reach of most of your viewers
Absolutely true. They offered them to me to try. Wasn't gonna say no 😀
Nice info. Very usefull. Thanks a lot & Cheers..😊👍👏👏
Thanks Bill, another great option for beginners of whisky is Compass Box Orchard House, very fruity ( Apple, pear), some vanilla and some honey.
Totally agree. I have a bottle behind me. It's great
I blend my own inexpensive, but delicious, bourbon using a ratio of 2/3 Four Roses Bourbon to 1/3 Jim Beam White Label. For me, the smoothness of the Four Roses is complemented by the heat of the Jim Beam White Label, where the sum is greater than the two parts (IMMO). YMMV.
Evan Williams is criminally underrated. Bottled in Bond is good whiskey. For $20 it's irresistible.
This is brilliant and really interesting. The E-150 really upsets some people but I have never really cared that much, especially if the Whisky is really good, like Dalmore for example.
It's not something that bothers me since it's typically in lower-end whiskies... not always, but typically. Strange to me to do something high end and add it though.
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary right, for a higher $$ bottle I could see that being a bit more questionable for sure
JD advertises the fact that they filter the taste right out of the the whiskey. 😂 Disgusting. As to Jameson, two of their best whiskeys have come out in the last three years. Black Barrel Proof, which you need to go to Ireland to find, and their Single Pot Still. As for myself, I like the whiskey from West Cork Distillers, Dingle and some Waterfords. A couple of the Glendaloughs are ok, as is Roe & Co. Lots to choose from today!
I think I need to talk to my contact at Jameson. I didn't know they had a Black Barrel Cask Strength
I am disappointed with this video. I knew pretty much everything here, other than the term wheated bourbon... It was wheated bourbon, right? Not breaded...
I appreciate you taking the time to let me know what you thought of this video. Making educational videos are tough as my audience ranges from people holding a bottle of JW Blue and wondering if it's worth the price, to people who daily sip committee releases. This was definitely meant to be an introductory video to bourbon terms, but no worries... more to come!
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary please do not take this as a criticism. I am fairly well versed in the world of whisky in general. I just decided to comment by praising myself for knowing a lot of stuff 😂 Please, keep doing what you doing. I very much enjoy your videos, even if you explain things I know, cause there are people, who don't know and it's super educational for them.
@Psychotyzm absolutely didn't take it as criticism, a comment like yours is very useful to me. Most of the time I need to guess at my audience as I get very little feedback from folks. Thanks!
Very interesting video. Have tried some of these whiskies and am in agreement with your thoughts. 🥃🥃🥃
Thanks for watching!
We have different name for the "heads and tails" thing, but I did know that. When we distill at home we usually "cut the head" based on the alcohol content... At certain ABV we know the bad part is gone and we don't use that for drinking. We use it for rubbing alcohol or stuff, requiring alcohol, that won't be consumed... I didn't know the term Mash Tun tho... You learn something new every day...
Hey I'm from India and bourbon is a new thing here, so after trying out the basics (Jim beam, Jack Daniels) I want to try other stuff too but often they're ridiculously priced. I mean an average quality bourbon for the price of a Talisker 10, how's that going to work? I would advise them to price it right and tap the huge market. Love your videos BTW
I'm not a traditional 'scotch' drinker. I prefer Irish, but this was so informative, and I enjoyed it. Thanks.
Now that's how a Dictonary on whiskey looks like 👍
I can sum up Canadian whiskey in less than 10 seconds…. Eeeehhhhhh
When people ask me, I say people make booze from whatever they have locally. In the American south east, it's corn. In the North and West, it's rye. In northern Europe, it's potatoes and wheat. In the far east, it's rice. In Scotland and Ireland it's barley.
For my palate Brucihladdich is underwhelming. The flavors never bloom like I expect. The PC 10 is another story :)
Another good summary. Nicely done.
Thanks Steve!
important for Islay peat heads: Heads, Hearts and Tails on Islay are called Foreshots, Spirit Run and Feints - Slàinte Mhath
Neon brown 😆 Love the easy to digest information 🙏
Terrific video Bill!!
Thanks Christine!
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary YW! 🙂
