yeah don't feel bad me too.

Around a minute in, I thought for sure he was going to snort it.

I was waiting for someone to come out and kick his ass for throwing all of that scotch on the ground.

It would've been hilarious

Fuck, Back in highschool me and Boot would have rung out his carpet and filled a bottle.

I was thinking more along the lines of whoever was responsible for cleaning it up...if his wife is sitting there, and knows she had to clean up his mess, I would've bet that she had a priceless look on her face, and probably held out for a while.

I watched another vid. I guess thats their tasting room and he's their head master blender. He get's to taste scotch all day era day. Not a bad gig if you ask me.

Agreed. Brew Masters and this guy. Doing what they love!

Yeah, now if I can only figure out a way to make money duck hunting.

I used to be on the Glenlivet mailing list, learned a lot about scotch, but never drank much.
My question is, if he dilutes it down to 35% ABV, why not just dilute it down at the distillery and bottle it that way? That way they know they're product is getting diluted with "pure" water not bar tap water?

The little I know about scotch and whiskey in general. The water right before serving the glass helps open up the liquer. I guess its all a timing thing. As soon as the water hits the scotch it starts to change the smell and taste. If they diluted it at the distillery they might change the final product. My dad's buddy would pour a glass of Talisker and let it sit for 10 min. before he had his first taste. Don't ask me why, cuz I dont know. I'm not that refinded.

It takes money to make money. I know how to do what you suggest. Was taught by the best. The thing is....money.
Show me a big pile of benjamins, BIG.

Funny thing- back when I was drinking a lot of Beam, I'd take the caps off of all the bottles for the week as soon as I got them. Granted, we weren't refined, just passed the bottles around pulling off of them, but I swear it tasted much better.

the same can be said for beer, different flavored and aromas come out as it warms up, I'm talking craft beer not bud light/pbr.

Life is easy to make complicated.

I like things a bit more simple.

1) put ice in glass
2) pour J&B or Dewars in glass
3) put glass under tap, fill with water
4) drink

But thats just me.
