- We're drinking whiskey! Yes!
(cheering)
- What doesn't kill me makes me drunker.
- "TRY." Every so often, God just gives you a little gift
and today it was whiskey.
(Scottish music playing)
- I've had whiskey.
- Yes.
- I don't know if I've had scotch specifically, right?
- Okay. Scotch is literally
just whiskey from Scotland. - Ah
- That's all it is.
- Scotch whiskey is very smoky and I love it.
- Spoken like someone who knows what they're talking about.
- I could be completely wrong,
but that's as far as I know.
- Are you a Scotch person?
- I, uh, I'm Irish actually, (laughs) sorry Seán.
I'm kind of Scottish, yeah. No. Sorry.
I'm a Scotch person, yes.
- Okay, so it's the fancy whiskey Thing-A-Ma-Jigger.
Oh, wow. Okay.
- How are you doing?
- Jeez, that'd be a lovely gift.
- I feel like a mad scientist.
- Yeah (laughs).
- Who is actually an alcoholic.
- (laughs) Yeah, instead of plutonium.
- Tonight, I'll be getting pissed.
- You're right, I feel like a villain in a movie
- Yeah!
- (in a Russian accent) With this vile,
I will make the whole world drunk.
(laughs maniacally)
(Celtic music)
- This is called Asyla.
- All I can think of is there's a little bit left in that.
- (laughing)
- A little drop left.
- I think it smells like vinegar and I love vinegar.
So this can't be that bad.
- This is from Edinburgh.
- Oh, that's smelly!
- It's good isn't it?
- Smelly! Really (laughs) that's a smell! Hold on.
- Smells like Scotland, doesn't it?
- (gurgles)
- Oh! That is lovely.
- Oh that's a smooth whiskey. That is nice.
- Try to get some air in like this.
- Yeah so try to get some air in (coughs).
- And then the air makes it taste better.
- I'm just having a great time.
- Drinking things straight. Like I just don't get it.
- Ah man it settles the nerves, bai.
- I'm so sorry. Here we go.
I'm so sorry.
(gags)
Oh that's fucking burning
- (laughter)
- [Producer] We're on a never-ending quest to blend
the flavors of our individual casks in ways that
create compelling, delicious whiskies.
- Every time I do like a drinking sort of thing
where someone's explaining to you the history
of the alcohol you're drinking.
I couldn't care.
- No. (laughs) - I'm just going
"Yeah, yeah, it's nice"
- Yeah I don't care where it's from.
- Is it nice?
- Yeah. - It is.
- It is nice. (gagging) Excuse me.
- Mm. (laughs)
- It is nice
but I just still don't get drinking things straight.
- You can taste the wood of the barrel.
- I have a terrible palette.
So like, it all just tastes like whiskey to me.
- Yeah.
- It takes me a while to really settle
on what it is that I'm tasting.
But it's really nice. It goes down really easy.
- You know what's comin'?
It's a ten. Ten out of ten.
- Oh , we're rating them? Okay wow. It's a good whiskey yeah.
- Join in if you think you can keep up. It's a ten.
- Irish people (laughs)
- (laughs)
- Irish people choke on our smoky Scotch whiskey.
(Celtic music)
- So aesthetically pleasing.
- I love the tubes.
What is it about tube shaped things that I love so much?
- It was the Oak cross that Christ was crucified on.
And they put that in the cask.
- It's not many, not much more details.
Don't have it if you're pregnant.
- (laughs)
- [Producer] Smooth and elegant, with subtle
vanilla, clove, and fruity characteristics."
- They've just said almost the exact same thing
as the last one. - Yeah.
- Smells the same as the first one smells.
This one smells kind of whiskey gingery.
- Cheers to learning and to drinking and forgetting it
when you drank too much (laughs).
- Ooh.
- It's less burn-y.
- I think your pallette's just getting used to it. (laughs)
- (laughs) Probably.
- It's grand.
- It's grand is right! It's grand. It's lovely.
- Who drinks straight whiskey? Honest to God.
- Not getting the vanilla really.
- Oh, your tastes birds are dying.
Good. You'll enjoy this more. - Your taste birds?
- [Producer] Taste birds?
- Did I say that?
- You said taste birds.
- Did I say taste birds?
- I would love it if that was something that like
you didn't even just mistakenly say now
you've just always called them taste birds.
- I prefer it to the last one.
So if I could downgrade the last one to a nine.
- Don't. Don't
- (laughs)
- You can't rewrite history.
- Do you actually?
Like I just don't believe that you like it.
Like I genuinely, every person that says to me
that they drink straight whiskey.
I just can't believe that you actually like doing it.
I think you just do it to be cool.
- We're going to do it together.
The gargle-y no not gargle-y breathe-y in thing.
- Just suck a bit of air in. Yeah.
- (chokes and spits)
- Don't suck the air in.
- Okay I didn't realize that.
- I'm going for another tens across the board here.
Unless they let us down.
Say what you like. I won't judge.
- It sounds that you were judging though.
- No, no, just get on with it.
(both laugh)
- I suppose you can train yourself to like anything.
- It wasn't even an effort. I love it. It was so nice.
- I've had a drink and a half.
I've had one and a half whiskies.
- Thank God this is here. I know I keep saying it but legit.
- Yeah.
I've never been more glad for the screen.

Ooh!
- It's actually not that bad when you're singing.
Keep it up.

(Celtic music)
- Hedonism.
- Ooh. - Oh my God.
It's like me on this channel.
- Hedonism. I'm all for this one.
- Jesus.
- Ooh.
- [Producer] Elegant flavors of vanilla, cream,
toffee, and coconut.
- Too sweet. - Does smell sweet, yeah.
- You know what?
I can smell toffee out of that.
- That does smell a little sweet.
- There's still a drop left so
I'm very conscious of this now you've said it
- Well you gave him more whiskey, but that's perfect.
That's makes more sense.
He's going to drink it. I'm not.
- Let's do it.
Sniff and drink, but not with your mouth.
Cause then you'll die. Got it.
Call me crazy
and calling me someone who's just desperately trying to look
like they know what they're doing
but I think I can taste the teeniest,
tiniest littlest bit of toffee from that.
- (makes cartoon-like noises of laughter and complaint)
- (laughs) You go full cartoon.
It's like (cartoon eye-bulging noises)
- (laughs)
- Not as much of a kick to that one.
- No.
- You know what I mean? It doesn't taste as alcoholic.
It's certainly very alcoholic, but it's not as.
- There you go.
- Water to whiskey is kind of like salts to a steak.
It's not to make it taste like salt.
It's to make it taste more like steak.
- Oh!
- Like I'm a hundred percent
on board with the name of it, but it just
fuck me, it's so whiskey.
- I'm getting the vanilla off this one, you know
- You wouldn't feel out of place having this
with some candy floss
- Who would pair whiskey and...? What? (laughs)
- It's less harsh.
- It's less harsh and more like toffee.
- Yep.
- Oh my.
- See?
- Hey mom, I'm an expert now.
So don't have to worry about me.
I know things about everything.
- Like, I'm not going to lie to you, Colin.
That's exactly the fucking same.
Every one you handed us is the same.
- It's a little bit sweeter, I feel.
- Like I, literally if you blindfolded me
I could not tell the difference.
- I could easily drink a lot of it.
Well, I could just drink all of them.
- Yeah. But like this one you could yeah, it doesn't.
You wouldn't notice it going down you.
- Yeah, no it's hitting me now, I have to say.
It's em, it's like this, you know
I don't handle my drink well. I get drunk very easy.
(Scottish music)
- Monster
The Peat Monster
- Oh okay.
- The Peat Monster!
- Yes!
- Get the fuck out. That's the best name ever.
- This is going to be a smoky bast of whiskey.
- Ooh! We have some kind of bog influence here for us.
- Yes! I can smell it from here.
- It's very smoky.
- Oh my!
- That's scotch whiskey. Like it's real smoky.
- Oh really?
- So what they do is they, they get
like a turf fire and they smoke the whiskey.
- Fuck off.
- Yeah. You can get little smokers and stuff.
- Oh my gosh.
Jesus. It's like somebody turned turf
- Incredible.
- Yeah.
The smell it's bringing back memories sort of old man pubs.
- That's yeah yeah yeah.
- Ah!
- Not as bad as I thought it.
- See the hand-holding worked.
- It did, thank you.
- It's very pungent.
It's just like, it's like drinking a smell, you know?
- I think I'm in love.
- Yeah, okay. I get the smokiness
- Right?
- But it still fucking smells like death.
- Aw
- The smell is so strong but the taste tastes more
or less like the others
- Mm hmm
- Like strength wise.
- It's like just drinking pure smoke. You know?
- But it's all the senses. It's gotten all the senses.
- Hey man. Maybe this whole drinking thing
ain't so bad after all.
- (gags)
- (mockingly gags)
- (laughs like Woody Woodpecker)
(both laughing)
- Clare literally takes a sip of the whiskey and
just goes (Donald Duck noises)
(both laughing)
- It's like this turns a lot of people off. That smell.
- That smell is so powerful like oh my gosh.
- Cause it is like being at your
granny's out in the country.
- Smelling it, tasting it, feeling it.
I can hear, I can hear it.
- (laughs)
- You wouldn't think that's stronger than the other ones.
- It's stronger in kind of most senses of the word.
And that's more impactful, you know?
In that it's hitting you.
- It's lovely.
- It smells horrendous.
Has a great name. Tastes all right.
- What's the name again?
- The Peat Monster.
- Or it'd be the son of Jim Monster.
- Yeah. (laughs)
- Short for Peter. Peter Monster
- Sounds like a rock star.
- He sounds like a DJ who does like 14-year-olds' discos
and then also does weddings on the weekends.
- Yeah. (laughs)
- (in a cartoon-like voice) Oh my gosh.
Clisare ol' buddy ol' pal we got to drink
this whiskey. Ha ha!
- Apparently my laugh is - Who's that?
- That's Mickey Mouse yeah?
- Oh that was Shaggy from Scooby-Doo.
Oh God I'm losing it. It's the whiskey.
(Celtic music)
- Spice Cree
- [Interviewer] Tree
- Tree. (laughs)
- I thought that said Spice Ghee.
- I thought it was going to be spice bag
and I was going to be screwed for a second.
- Oh smells like chili chicken.
- Spice tree.
This is a strong whiskey.
Just FYI.
- Great
- She's a, she's a 46er.
- Not a strong smell off this.
- No.
- It's gonna be hard to beat that last one.
- Fruity notes.
I'm feeling some fruity notes in this.
Isn't it mad right?
You can be drink...(laughs)
- Oh sorry I was just imitating you.
- This is glass, okay? I can see it.
- God bless you and save you from the kick of a mad dog.
- Something we say in County Laois for whatever reason.
- Enjoy drinking your whiskey that you hate!
- You seem unsure.
- It's not as nice.
- Oh yeah we're supposed to be talking all Scottish now.
- Really?
- It smells like-- ah no fuck it, I'm going Jamaican.
I'm not doing it, I'm too drunk.
- That one was better than the last one.
- I don't understand how you're having such an awful time.
And on fair play that you're polishing it all off
but you're having an awful time
and I'm having a great evening
- It's reminding me of like a strong cup of tea.
- It's amazing how when you first started drinking alcohol
everything just was like, blah, blah.
But you learn how to drink it properly
and suddenly the world's different
Growing up. Ain't it cool? (laughs)
- I love that you've had a character arc in this video.
- (mockingly) It's got a lot more dulcet tones
I think it was as matured really really well
in the cask but I mean
the fermentation process was obviously very very good.
- I do think this is worse.
- I think this is the lowest ranked one.
Because all the flavor,
it goes to one spot on your tongue and it disappears.
Whereas the last one was like an all encompassing
kind of sensual massage. Whereas this is like a pinprick.
- I feel like every whiskey I've ever tasted
is apparently meant to taste like vanilla.
- But in fairness, this is the only whiskey I've ever tasted
that I actually smell vanilla.
- It actually does yeah.
- They all taste like absolute fire.
- That's the fire of God in you. That's the God
That's what gets you up in the morning.
That's a kick up the arse
I'm telling you, if there's a market there
for drinking whiskey and going to the gym.
Jesus, you'd kill everyone.
50/50
- Instead of steroids these big dude that just.
- Cull the herd. Weak or strong.
- There's a little bit of spice
a little bit of tingle, a little bit of tickle.
That might just be the alcohol burning
away on my tongue and my taste birds.
- It's fine.
It's not as good as the other ones.
- It's fine.
You know, it's a disappointing end I'll admit.
- Yeah
- You should have ended with the Peat Monster.
- I think that what doesn't kill me makes me drunker.
- (cheering)
(both cheering and singing)
(both) Oi, oi, oi!
- That was very good, wasn't it?
- I think Colin hasn't got sense out of us in quite some time.
- I'm fucking too drunk.
When I'm sober I'm like bam, Scottish accent.
I fucking did three of them at the start.
No bother. And now I'm like all blah words.
- I mean the whole of the video has been the whiskeys
