Whiskey Noobs

In this episode, my guests, Will and Tyler of the Viewer Regression Advised Podcast, review two single malt scotches with me. These whiskies are from different regions of Scotland, giving them very different flavor profiles. We get to see the vast difference between a peated Islay Scotch and a Highland Scotch whisky. Finally, we review Glenmorangie 10 year and Laphroaig 10 year single malt scotch whiskies. 

In this quick mini-episode, I share a few updates on the Whiskey Noobs Podcast. How it's been going, and what is to come! Thank you all for being awesome listeners! See you next week!

Where did whiskey first start? In this episode, I begin by discussing the first written accounts of whiskey. Then, I talk about Irish Whiskey, and what criteria it has to meet. From Single Pot Still to blended whiskeys, we go over all of the types and subcategories of Irish Whiskey. Finally, I talk about what flavor profiles you can expect from this wonderful category of whiskey.

In this episode, my guest, Zack, and I discuss the differences between top and bottom shelf whiskeys. What differences can you expect in flavor notes, nose, and mouth feel by paying more for your whiskey? Listen to this episode to find out! In the process, we do a full review of the flavor notes of Benchmark 8, Buffalo Trace, and Heaven's Door Tennessee Bourbon.

In this episode, we talk about Canadian and Japanese whisky. This topic rounds off the types of whiskey that we have been going over the past few months. We go into detail about a few of the things that make Canadian and Japanese whiskies unique, and end the episode by discussing the malting process as well as a few notes on the types of whiskey.

In this episode, I go through a full review of Basil Hayden's Rye Whiskey, aged 10 years. If you are considering getting into Rye, this is the episode for you.

In this episode, we start up our very own Whiskey Noobs Infinity Bottle! I explain what an infinity bottle is, and then recap the first 14 episodes of the show as we add the whiskey from each of these episodes to the bottle.

In this episode, my guest, Bryce, and I review Monkey Shoulder Blended Malt Scotch Whisky. As a bit of an experiment, we try smelling the most prominent flavor notes (an actual orange, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract) in order to see if it helps us better pull the flavors from the whiskey. Finally, we conclude by ranking Monkey Shoulder among the other whiskeys that Bryce has had on the show.
