• 6:28
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Ah, next time we do a show.
• 6:29
  so you might have other things to do at 02: And Justin and those four words that he comes up with.
• 6:35
  so you might have other things to do at 02: On a good day.
• 6:39
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Well, uh, thanks, Brent.
• 6:40
  so you might have other things to do at 02: So, why don't you tell us about the first whiskey that we've got today?
• 6:43
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Thanks, Bob. So, fans of the show laws Whiskey House was founded in Denver, Colorado, by Al Laws, a native of Alberta, Canada, who was brought to the area by his work in the oil and gas industry. With a personal passion for whiskey, he decided to open his own distillery. And with that, the Whiskey House was born. Their mash is made using Colorado grown rye, wheat and barley from the family owned Colorado Malting Company, located in, um, elamosa, Colorado, and corn from Wisconsin. Can't beat that. Wisconsin corn.
• 7:19
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Can I skip every other sentence in that intro?
• 7:23
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Sure.
• 7:23
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I did.
• 7:24
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah. Why do I write this stuff?
• 7:26
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Word salad with you, man.
• 7:28
  so you might have other things to do at 02: The mash is open fermented for four days before distilling twice in their four plate combination column. Pot still made vendome, copper and brass. Works out of Louisville.
• 7:39
  so you might have other things to do at 02: So this is a Law's intention. It's 118 proof, 59% ABV, 60% corn, 20% heirloom wheat and 10% heirloom rye.
• 7:50
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Heirloom. Yeah, hairloom heirloom.
• 7:53
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Heirloom barley.
• 7:56
  so you might have other things to do at 02: This is the part where hairloom I'm.
• 7:58
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Not only a customer, but I'm also a client.
• 8:01
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah, don't forget 10% hair loom malted barley. Listen, if they wanted to pronounce a different way they would have spelt it differently.
• 8:09
  so you might have other things to do at 02: And if you have, uh, those little blue pills, it will help with that hair loom.
• 8:12
  so you might have other things to do at 02: They would have spelt it A-I-R loom if they wanted to spelt heirloom. That's all I can tell you. So intention is Law's first vertical marriage.
• 8:25
  so you might have other things to do at 02: That's Bret. He has a doctorate. A doctorate. English literature. In case you were wondering.
• 8:29
  so you might have other things to do at 02: We have been drinking, just in case you were wondering.
• 8:31
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Okay.
• 8:31
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's a vertical marriage of four grain straight bourbon bringing together whiskey ranging from three to ten years old. At cast strength, younger and older barrels create harmony with our signature grain character and rich barrel notes. Intention is the first release of their annual origin series.
• 8:49
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Origin series?
• 8:50
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah.
• 8:50
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Origins.
• 8:54
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Oh my God.
• 8:56
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Oregons. Yeah.
• 8:57
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Oranges. Oranges.
• 8:59
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Nothing rhymes with oranges.
• 9:00
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I know. So the color of this nice copper penny color. Beautiful color, beautiful bottle that these come in as well. Even these sample bottles they make with the big bottom and the square bottle is kind of nice.
• 9:14
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I like the big bottoms.
• 9:16
  so you might have other things to do at 02: So on the nose I got, uh, a lot of fruits on the nose.
• 9:20
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Freddie Mercury did.
• 9:21
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah.
• 9:21
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I got some cherries and, uh, oranges, a little bit of peaches. And at the very end of it I can get some corn out of it.
• 9:27
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Like peaches and herb.
• 9:28
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yep, peaches and herb.
• 9:30
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Very smooth.
• 9:31
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Peaches and cream.
• 9:32
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Now you said herb, so peaches and Mardi Croft theme. So on the palate I get, um, some of those melons as well.
• 9:43
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Uh uh, so I got some butter pastry on this, got some cinnamon. The black tea kind of came out with it more than I liked, but, um, overall it had a nice finish to it. Mouthfeel, uh, was nice, didn't quite color everything, but it's like more the front half of the palate for me. Medium to short finish, I'd say.
• 10:10
  so you might have other things to do at 02: So you don't like the black tea?
• 10:12
  so you might have other things to do at 02: No, I did not like the black tea in this. I know that.
• 10:16
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I like green tea.
• 10:17
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Green tea maybe, but the black tea.
• 10:20
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Was a little bit overpowering for me. Where do you stand on big butts?
• 10:24
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I do appreciate a big butt.
• 10:27
  so you might have other things to do at 02: That's why we miss Justin, because Justin likes big butts.
• 10:32
  so you might have other things to do at 02: What m do you think, Mori?
• 10:34
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Well, funny you should ask. Uh, I thought this was a lovely whiskey.
• 10:37
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I mean, we're sitting at the table reviewing whiskey and I asked him what? He fun.
• 10:40
  so you might have other things to do at 02: That's funny.
• 10:41
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Hysterical.
• 10:44
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Anyway, moving right along here, uh, this whiskey I thought was lovely. It had a lot of fruit on the nose. I love, uh, the cherries, the peach, the orange blossom. I didn't get quite as much corn in the nose as just comes at.
• 10:57
  so you might have other things to do at 02: The very end, really. Uh, it's just corn. Just a little bit of corn.
• 11:01
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I didn't really appreciate that. Uh, uh, the palate itself, it's, um, again, a lot of things you described. Little cinnamon, little buttery, little pastry, medium body, bright. Um, I thought the finish was short to medium. A, uh, lovely whiskey. There's nothing inherently wrong with it.
• 11:19
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Uh, it's just there this is what your wife says?
• 11:25
  so you might have other things to do at 02: No, I think she says a lot of things inherently wrong with Maury.
• 11:28
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah. But in the end, she just says you're just there.
• 11:32
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah. Anyway, I agree with the tasting notes, except for one thing you guys missed. To me, it was hot. Even though it's 59% ABV.
• 11:41
  so you might have other things to do at 02: That's that black tea that makes it that hot. That hotness.
• 11:45
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's not hot tea.
• 11:46
  so you might have other things to do at 02: No, but it's a black tea that's kind of like it kind of like, comes out.
• 11:50
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah, that black tea notes. I mean, I enjoy that.
• 11:53
  so you might have other things to do at 02: You thought it was hot.
• 11:53
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I didn't find it to be hot.
• 11:55
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I mean, I've been drinking high proof stuff for a long time, thanks to you guys. In fact, last night I was drinking, uh, a Hazmat 140.1 proof whiskey.
• 12:04
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Um, and whose was that?
• 12:06
  so you might have other things to do at 02: That was a light whiskey from Orlando. Somebody brought me a private, um, I was I'm used to drinking these high proof ones, but this tastes hotter than it should be. I don't know what it is, and I didn't get the corn. I agree with Maury there the ripe cherries and peaches and orange. That's all there. It's a good whiskey. But you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to put some water in this. Let me try it with water. Because I think the way it is at 59% ABV, it shouldn't taste hot, but it does taste hot. Maybe because I think the younger whiskeys are a, uh, larger portion of this. They say the barrels are three to ten years old. They don't tell us proportions. I bet you there's more younger whiskeys.
• 12:44
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Near than their older ones.
• 12:47
  so you might have other things to do at 02: And I brought the proof down, and I'm enjoying it much more. The orange blossom, um, there's a little more melon coming out. That buttery pastry really stands out. It's good stuff. Bob, what do you think?
• 12:59
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I think it's a very nice effort by the guys at laws. We've been reviewing their stuff for quite a few years now. Um, Outlaws and his team M make very good whiskey. And I've told him before, every year their whiskey gets better. It doesn't mean last year wasn't good. It's just they're getting better every single year. Uh, they're turning out a quality product.
• 13:19
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Um, I like what they're doing there. And this is their first origin?
• 13:23
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah, this is the first release. So we'll be back. Hey, and we're back. And we were just finishing up discussing the whiskey, uh, from Laws. The laws intention um, yeah, I'm enjoying this one. I think it's a really nice expression. Um, I get all the peaches, I get the orange blossom. I get the honey. I do get that corn pudding on the nose at the end.
• 13:46
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I still don't get it. I like what these guys are doing, because they always use heirloom ingredients and things that are, um.
• 13:56
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Loop.
• 13:56
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Uh, they're native to Colorado.
• 14:00
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Oh. They have a farmer that grows all their stuff for them in Colorado. I mean, they're hardcore about keeping it all Colorado.
• 14:06
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Some of their earlier stuff was more funky, but they just keep getting better and better.
• 14:10
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah, well, you remember that the first time I met Al was in Chicago whiskey Fest got years ago, and I think they'd only been around a couple of years at that point, and I was like, how old is this? And I was blown away. I'm like, for what you've got, this is pretty good.
• 14:26
  so you might have other things to do at 02: And every year, we continue to get samples from every year, and every year, their whiskey just gets better and better and better. I think they're one of the premier whiskey, uh, companies out in the west. I think they're doing a great job. So we're going to be rating this one the Law's Intention a well deserved three SIBs. Interesting.
• 14:47
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Okay, Bob, tell us about the next one.
• 14:49
  so you might have other things to do at 02: So let's move on to our next whiskey, and that's from, uh, Port McGee.
• 14:55
  so you might have other things to do at 02: So, Port McGee is a fishing village on the very south southwest corner of County Kerry, Ireland. The name Port McGee comes from the exploits of Captain Theobald McGee, a 18th century smuggler. Having served in the army of King James II as an officer, captain McGee retired to a life of merchant shipping between France, Spain, Portugal and Ireland. Thanks to the many inlets around the southwest coast, his trade in contraband, spirits, textiles, tea, and tobacco was a little bit hard to police and was therefore, accordingly, very profitable. He married, uh, Bridget Morgel, the widow of a rich dingle merchant, and also the daughter of the then representative for Dingle, Thomas Crosby. Following Captain McGee's death, bridget and her sons continued the family business of smuggling, and Port McGee itself developed into the fishing village that we know of today. Port McGee Irish Whiskey was founded in 2017 by two brothers, uh, John and James Murphy and Stuart McNamara, who is a whiskey blogger and writer, and also the man who runs the Irish Whiskey Trail. So what we have here is their inaugural, uh, release the Port McGee nine year Irish Whiskey. It's 40% ABV.
• 16:10
  so you might have other things to do at 02: 80 proof. He was kind enough to gift this to me. It's cast number one non, um, chill filtered, triple distilled m.
• 16:20
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's a blend of nine year old single grain whiskey and 13 year old single malt whiskey which is finished in a Barbados rum cask. It's released uh, several times a year at this point as ingle exclusive cask and each bottle is handled single cask.
• 16:35
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yep.
• 16:35
  so you might have other things to do at 02: That's why I said exclusive single cask. You said ingle, I said single.
• 16:39
  so you might have other things to do at 02: You've swallowed your ass. And what's a dingle merchant?
• 16:42
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I got something you can swallow.
• 16:45
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I'm stealing Brent's line.
• 16:48
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Uh, you want to know what a dingle merchant?
• 16:50
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Don't. Right. I did have that question. What's a dingle merchant? But go ahead, keep going.
• 16:56
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Dumber than a box of hair.
• 16:58
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's a merchant in the town of Dingle.
• 17:02
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I thought it was for the brand.
• 17:03
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Of Dingle because his wife's father was the mayor of Dingle. So yeah. Okay. Um color very pale. Straw.
• 17:11
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Um, typical lighter.
• 17:14
  so you might have other things to do at 02: We're 13. Sorry?
• 17:15
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Lighter. Irish. It's Irish whiskey. It's generally going to be a little bit lighter.
• 17:20
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Uh, this is mostly grain whiskey and you can tell.
• 17:24
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah probably um, on the nose I get a little bit of straw, a little bit of hay, a little bit of grassy.
• 17:34
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Get a little like a buttered brioche little pastry.
• 17:39
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Like a pastry cream.
• 17:40
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah. On the palate.
• 17:42
  so you might have other things to do at 02: M.
• 17:46
  so you might have other things to do at 02: On the palate. It's got a nice mouthfeel, got a good viscosity to it. Gives you a really nice coat to the tongue. The thing that I get most out of it is um I get some stone fruit out of this.
• 18:01
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I get some pear. I get a little bit of pear. Is not a stone fruit.
• 18:07
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Just messing with you now.
• 18:08
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's besides a stone fruit.
• 18:10
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah I'm getting a little bit of pear on it. Get a little bit of kind um of a burnt toffee uh note on it. A little bit of sweetness but a little bit of a uh dark sweetness to it. It's got a nice finish. The finish goes on for a while.
• 18:27
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I used to date her. Dark sweetness.
• 18:29
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah, I'm sure you did date, you paid.
• 18:32
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Okay. Um it's a difference.
• 18:35
  so you might have other things to do at 02: But uh, overall lovely whiskey.
• 18:38
  so you might have other things to do at 02: What'd you think Bret?
• 18:40
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah so I got the pears, vanilla and lemon along with that fresh pastry. Uh, on the nose.
• 18:45
  so you might have other things to do at 02: The lemon kind of popped me a little then um, on the palate of pears was the first thing I wrote down. I like that. Burnt toffee um, lemon again.
• 18:57
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's bright and fresh.
• 18:58
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah, that's exactly what I'm thinking. Is it's bright? It's a very bright, bright just a.
• 19:03
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Bright and fresh uh, whiskey to drink.
• 19:07
  so you might have other things to do at 02: A lot of Irish whiskeys are like that but this one is nice and bright and fresh.
• 19:11
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Uh, easy going.
• 19:12
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Favorite Irish whiskeys. I'm not a big Irish fan. I'm not preferred scotch, but this is good.
• 19:18
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah this is nice.
• 19:19
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's nice. It's entry level, it's easy drinking.
• 19:22
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's uh, all day sipper. You could drink this out by the pool, you could drink this by the fireplace.
• 19:28
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's a light whiskey. It's very approachable.
• 19:30
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I think it's more grain than malt.
• 19:32
  so you might have other things to do at 02: And yeah, I agree. I think that's a good point. Thank you for pointing that out.
• 19:35
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Well, that's most Irish whiskey, honestly.
• 19:38
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Well, there's a good amount of single malts these days now.
• 19:42
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah, but I mean, just two or three years ago, I can't wait to.
• 19:46
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Taste their single malts because these guys are distilling. Now, this is purchased juice.
• 19:50
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah. This is source juice. So when they come out with their own being where they're at, surrounded by the sea, that's going to be very interesting. I'm expecting sort of a salty Bamori kind of thing. At least that's what I'm hoping for.
• 20:05
  so you might have other things to do at 02: But again, like Brent said, this one's, just pick up the rum notes.
• 20:10
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I mean, I'm getting the rum notes with that.
• 20:12
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I think that's where, uh, that burnt kind of toffee that I'm getting.
• 20:16
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Right.
• 20:17
  so you might have other things to do at 02: You're getting that these are, uh, Barbados rum casks.
• 20:19
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Exactly. You're getting that dark molasses out of it. So I think that's where you're getting that. Without it, I think you wouldn't get that bottom note.
• 20:27
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I think that's what makes this more.
• 20:28
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Approachable mhm, but overall, a lovely whiskey.
• 20:34
  so you might have other things to do at 02: So we're going to be rating the Port McGee Irish whiskey. Nine year old, um, cast number one, a, uh, well deserved three sips. Interesting.
• 20:44
  so you might have other things to do at 02: So let's move on to our next whiskey. And we're going to have Harm. Tell us about that one.
• 20:48
  so you might have other things to do at 02: That's because we love Harm.
• 20:50
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Thank you. Gentlemen, uh, I have not tasted this whiskey, but let me tell you about it.
• 20:56
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Arcane imperial American malt whiskey is our next whiskey.
• 20:59
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's 41.5% ABV, 83 proof, 50% two row malted barley, 30% Munich malt, 14% C, 60 malt, and 6% chocolate malt.
• 21:10
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Why, you ask? Because, um, Arcane Imperial American Whiskey is made in Brooklyn by a brewer that they distill imperial stout, and they use a vacuum still rather than a normal still. So the vacuum still allows them to strip out the alcohol at a lower temperature by creating a vacuum in the still above it. The, ah, boiling point of alcohol is lower, so they can remove the alcohol at a lower temperature, but you also remove other flavor compounds and esters and fatty, uh, acids without breaking them down by heating as much. When you boil things, you heat them, you change the chemical compounds a little bit and that changes the flavor.
• 21:52
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Now, I'm glad they did this experiment, but, uh, I don't know if they.
• 21:59
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Would call it an experiment.
• 22:01
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Well, this is what they do. It's got a beautiful package. The bottle is amazing. It's a blue gray color. It's got a great label on it's, got this big owl. It's very trendy and gorgeous. And the color of the whiskey is amazing. Copper. And then you put it to your nose and you smell sulfurous, onions, plastic, and, um what did you say? Urinal cake? Yeah, I've not tasted, uh, the other three gentlemen at the table have tasted it and told me, get some crackers ready or a lot of water. So I'm going to do it right now for you. Yeah, bring it to my nose.
• 22:41
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's just onions and plastic.
• 22:44
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Onions and plastic. And a little bit of wet, uh, dry, uh, uh, what do we call that? Drywall, uh, like you get your drywall wet. Yeah, that's that all m right.
• 23:03
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Oh, um my God, I wish this was TV right now.
• 23:07
  so you might have other things to do at 02: We told you some expressions you can't hide.
• 23:09
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Tough.
• 23:11
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I think you see that expression through the radio even.
• 23:14
  so you might have other things to do at 02: There is a honeyed sweetness.
• 23:16
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah, there is a sweetness there.
• 23:18
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I absolutely give you that sultana.
• 23:22
  so you might have other things to do at 02: And then you got, like, the sulfuric acid from the badly rotting, um, mean, did they use a lot of hops in their stout or something? Because there's a little hoppiness coming out that should not be in a whiskey ever. Although there are people who do make topped whiskeys in America. I know. And some of them come out great. This isn't it.
• 23:47
  so you might have other things to do at 02: This ain't it. Bob, what do you think? Did I hit all the notes hard?
• 23:51
  so you might have other things to do at 02: No.
• 23:54
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Hard, no.
• 23:56
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Plastic.
• 23:57
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Bob's got his glass covered with paper.
• 23:59
  so you might have other things to do at 02: He gets I don't want the smell to knock me over. Um, plastic. And when you are looking through the onion bin in your kitchen and you find that what is that funky smell? And you find that one in the back that's all soft. Um, and the thing is, like you said, if you taste it, if you fight through those two things, there is a sweetness in there you can taste.
• 24:27
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Like, oh, this came from, um, an okay beer, maybe. But they screwed something.
• 24:31
  so you might have other things to do at 02: There's a sweetness and almost like you said, a sultana raisiny kind of flavor underneath.
• 24:36
  so you might have other things to do at 02: But you have to fight through but.
• 24:39
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Don'T mistake that because there is a lot of horrible, bitter stuff on top of that in your mouth.
• 24:45
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah.
• 24:45
  so you might have other things to do at 02: You've got to dig through.
• 24:47
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Um, I take it and taste another taste.
• 24:55
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Uh, this is one of those ones that you just look at and go, just I don't get it. I don't get it.
• 25:03
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I don't understand this.
• 25:04
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Those old Wild West M movies and the guy orders a shot of red eye and he takes it.
• 25:10
  so you might have other things to do at 02: He makes that face.
• 25:10
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah.
• 25:11
  so you might have other things to do at 02: That's the face you make here.
• 25:13
  so you might have other things to do at 02: That's the face you have to make. I mean, you don't take this and have this, uh know what a pleasant.
• 25:20
  so you might have other things to do at 02: This, uh, is not a sipping whiskey. This is not a shooting whiskey. This is, uh, not a cleaning your floor whiskey.
• 25:25
  so you might have other things to do at 02: This is a dare whiskey.
• 25:26
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's a dare.
• 25:27
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Whiskey.
• 25:29
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Bret. Did I miss anything?
• 25:31
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Mario, you want to add anything?
• 25:33
  so you might have other things to do at 02: You know, I really don't have a lot to add.
• 25:35
  so you might have other things to do at 02: You hit on all the best parts of this, and that was the bottle.
• 25:39
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Uh huh.
• 25:40
  so you might have other things to do at 02: The bottle is very well done. Exactly.
• 25:42
  so you might have other things to do at 02: And I'm with him.
• 25:43
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I applaud the it's very experimental.
• 25:48
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Cool idea.
• 25:49
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Right.
• 25:50
  so you might have other things to do at 02: You don't know if you don't try.
• 25:53
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah, give them a lot of effort.
• 25:54
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Give them an A for effort. Lots of people do experiments with lots of things, but in the end, if.
• 26:01
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It a bunch of people would have chosen not to bottle it.
• 26:04
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah, you don't put it in the bottle. That's the problem.
• 26:07
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Um, this is the kind of thing that ruins your reputation. What's their second release going to be? Are you going to try it?
• 26:14
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I don't know.
• 26:17
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I don't have any answers.
• 26:18
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Do we have a rating, Pop?
• 26:19
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Do we?
• 26:22
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah. Again, look, I'll be the first one to say we don't throw around ratings lightly. Um, and we have great respect for the amount of work that goes into creating a spirit, because we've all been in enough distilleries in our lives, um, that we've seen how hard it is. Um, but in this case, um, the Arcane Imperial American malt whiskey. Um, I'm sorry, guys, but, uh, one sip eating the crackers, and eventually it'll eventually scrape your tongue off. And here's the thing going from that. Everything's sunshiny from there. So, uh, we'll have maury, tell us.
• 27:07
  so you might have other things to do at 02: About our next one. Well, thank you. This will be a breath of fresh air.
• 27:10
  so you might have other things to do at 02: The next whiskey is the rampour. Select Indian malt whiskey. 43% ABV 86 proof. It is 100% Indian barley first fill bourbon barrels. Rampour select, the flagship expression of the Rampour single malt line, was first released in 2016, immediately winning many loyal fans, as well as a bevy of international awards, including a double gold at the World Wine and Spirits Festival in San Francisco. The initial distillate offering sold out almost immediately. This is their newest US only release of Rampor Select, a non age stated.
• 27:53
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Rampor select is matured in the foothills of the Himalayan mountains, where it sees extreme shifts in temperature throughout the year, allowing the whiskey a much deeper level of interaction with the wood than one might see in more temperate climates. So this whiskey has a nice, light, copper color on the nose. It's got a lot of sweetness.
• 28:20
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I find, uh, a lot of red fruit on the nose and just overwhelming sense of sweetness.
• 28:27
  so you might have other things to do at 02: No, that's just me you're smelling on the palate.
• 28:31
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's nice, it's rounded, it's unctious, it's viscous, it's palate coating.
• 28:36
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's got lots, uh, of notes of toffee and baking spice and then a medium finish. Um, I think this is a really lovely whiskey. It's easily approachable, it's very well made, and, uh, I liked it quite a lot. I thought this is something you could really spend the day with, um, on any given Sunday. What do you think, Brent?
• 28:55
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I agree with all that. Um, it's just a lovely expression. Barley is the main thing. When you 100% barley, barley comes out a lot. Uh, and it's a good note to have very enjoyable.
• 29:09
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Nice palate, uh, nice finish, everything another one. Nice, bright, light whiskey. I like it so armeen.
• 29:21
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Um, I also, like, know India has been producing single malts for a while now. Some of my favorite stuff comes from AMRUT. And of course, there's Paul, John, and Rampur joins those other two distilleries with some really great stuff. They use six row barley here, and it has that, um if you've ever had any Indian whiskeys, you know that six row barley nose. It's got a very citrusy nose to it, very floral, and, um, it's kind of got a nuttiness to it as well.
• 29:51
  so you might have other things to do at 02: You wouldn't think that barley would produce that much citrus on it, but it does.
• 29:57
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's very nice.
• 29:59
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's a very different breed of barley. Like he said, if I put five whiskeys in front of them and two of them are Indian whiskeys with Himalayan barley, I guarantee both of us could pick.
• 30:15
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Them two. Um, row barley is what we use for Scotland, and there's mostly the type of barley we use in America as well for single malts. And I'm not sure about the beers, but they have so many different types of barley. But six, um, row barley produces more food per acre because there's six rows of corns on the barley on the stock, but it has a different flavor profile and it's very distinct to Indian whiskey.
• 30:41
  so you might have other things to do at 02: And it's more citrusy than we normally get. It's got a honey and a floral note on this whiskey. They did a great job. I really enjoy it. Bob, he's still smelling.
• 30:54
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah, it's got a beautiful nose on it. And it is it's that stereotypical six row nose.
• 31:02
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's like there's some cinnamon. What are the spices you're getting?
• 31:05
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I mean, I got a little bit of cardamom almost.
• 31:07
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah, it's a little bit of cardamom, that citrusy nose. Just a little bit of the barley. The cereal grain on the back, m, but on the palate, it's got a beautiful consistency to it.
• 31:25
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I get a good bit of citrus up front. It's got a really nice mouthfeel, got a really nice coat to it. It's got a pretty decent finish. Um, it's like everything we've had so far on the show from Rompours.
• 31:39
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Well done.
• 31:39
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Uh, an excellent.
• 31:44
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Whiskey. I'd like it to be.
• 31:48
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Stronger.
• 31:49
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah.
• 31:49
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I think if it was maybe 95.
• 31:52
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Proof and maybe an age statement on it.
• 31:56
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah. Six years in India is like 25 years in Scotland.
• 32:00
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah, that's the other thing. I mean, you can only go for a certain period of time, but I do think I'm with you. I think this at a slightly it doesn't have to be cask. I mean, a casket might be really.
• 32:09
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Interesting, but a couple more points in the proof would yeah.
• 32:12
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Help.
• 32:12
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I think probably 95 ish to 100, I think would probably bring some more of the flavor forward. I mean, what do we know?
• 32:20
  so you might have other things to do at 02: We're knuckleheads. But overall, excellent whiskey. We'll be back. Hey. And we're back. And we would just finish discussing rampur select Indian malt whiskey. We're going to be rating that a well deserved three sips.
• 32:36
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Interesting.
• 32:37
  so you might have other things to do at 02: And we're going to be moving on to our next whiskey.
• 32:40
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Um, we're going to have Brent tell us about that.
• 32:42
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Thanks, Bob.
• 32:43
  so you might have other things to do at 02: So we're going to talk about this whiskey, and then we're going to break it down a little bit because this is going to be kind of like our experiment, but this is for isle of Ross was founded by Bill Dobby and Alastair Day. They chose the Isle of Ross as providing the ingredients for the perfect DRAM and began work of establishing their distillery in 2016. On, uh, September 14, 2017, the Isle of Versailles Distillery opened its doors and spirit was flowing. This flagship expression from Isle of Reset.
• 33:14
  so you might have other things to do at 02: We'Re not doing the flagship.
• 33:15
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah, we're not.
• 33:16
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Okay.
• 33:17
  so you might have other things to do at 02: We're going to skip yeah.
• 33:18
  so you might have other things to do at 02: What we're doing. Just explain what that flagship is.
• 33:21
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah.
• 33:21
  so you might have other things to do at 02: So the flagship expression from Isle of Rose is made from peded and unpeated spirits matured separately in firstville rye whiskey, fresh chinka pin oak, and firstville Bordeaux red wine casks. The spirit is distilled matured and bottled on the Isle of Rose using water from the island. The six recipe casks are then married together to create the perfect DRAM with real elegance, complexity, and depth of character. So we're going to go through the first the three expressions that make up the product.
• 33:55
  so you might have other things to do at 02: First well, three of the six ones. We're doing the Peted versions of each.
• 33:58
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah, we're doing the Pete.
• 33:59
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Right.
• 33:59
  so you might have other things to do at 02: So this is basically a deconstruction class. We're taking three of the components individually and then tasting the whole at the end.
• 34:07
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Right. So the one I'm going to talk about is the Isle of Rose.
• 34:10
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's a peded exportau cask.
• 34:12
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Uh, 18 out of 664.
• 34:14
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Out of 664.
• 34:17
  so you might have other things to do at 02: 61.7%. ABV 123.4 proof. So this has got a nice it's a lighter straw kind of color finish to it.
• 34:27
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's got a little reddish hue to it.
• 34:29
  so you might have other things to do at 02: A little reddish hue, little reddish tint to it. Um, the nose, you get berries right off the you get berries on the nose. You can tell from that. Bordeaux cask really comes through. And, uh, on the palate thing I.
• 34:46
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Wrote down Citizen BlackBerry.
• 34:49
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah, the thing I wrote down on, uh, the palate smoked grapes is what I wrote down for the palate because it's not overly smoked. This is what I like about this, is that it's a light smoke and it doesn't overpower the product. I mean, I was pleasantly surprised when I tasted this, and I very much enjoyed it. So, um, maury.
• 35:11
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Well, I'm surprised how much you enjoyed this, Brent, because for me, I thought the smoke was not light. I thought it was moderate to heavy.
• 35:19
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Handed, but anything maybe just your sissy.
• 35:22
  so you might have other things to do at 02: That could be know, I think if he likes it because it works so well with the grape, the flavors of the wine. So the cassis and the BlackBerry coming out, a little bit of graphite there's a ah, little bit of honey under there.
• 35:37
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Pastry. It works.
• 35:38
  so you might have other things to do at 02: No it was helped by water. The water opened it up quite a bit. It brought a little more of the fruit and mellowed the smoke a little bit. But for me the smoke was heavy handed. Uh, if you like a smoky whiskey, it's a beautifully made, um, peded smoky malt. Um, but I felt that the smoke overpowered a lot of the fruit notes.
• 35:59
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I understand that. No, I think it played well but again, this is not something you can at this point, I don't know if we can buy this whiskey. Maybe at the distillery they might release something like this.
• 36:09
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Something like that maybe. But yeah, just what you can buy is the regular alibisse.
• 36:15
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yes. I thought it was a little hot because it's at 61.7% ABV or 123. But then again, it's young. We know it's young. The distillery hasn't been open long. It's young and it's a little bit higher proof and uh it's going to be a component of something else. But other than that, I agree with what Bret said.
• 36:33
  so you might have other things to do at 02: What about you, Bob? It's got a very pretty color. It's got a slightly tinged pinkish, almost orange hue to it uh, from those Bordeaux casts. But the fruit comes out.
• 36:51
  so you might have other things to do at 02: M the grapes really come out. I think they play well with the smoke. I think they're balanced very well.
• 36:59
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Um, I don't like smoke on a general know when something's overly smoked, I don't like it. And I really think this is nicely.
• 37:06
  so you might have other things to do at 02: They, I think they have smoke and ash destroyed Napa Valley a couple years ago.
• 37:10
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Just the right grapes.
• 37:13
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah, isn't that a shame? They had all of that. I mean they could have just put it in a cask and send these guys and made some really great, um skip skip getting uh, the peded barley.
• 37:29
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Um, I think it's a lovely component.
• 37:32
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Um, honestly, I think they should just bottle this one on its own.
• 37:35
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I would love to see this one bottle by itself.
• 37:38
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah, I think it would play very well on its own. Um, but an excellent whiskey.
• 37:43
  so you might have other things to do at 02: So we're going to be rating the ivory, say uh, peded X Bordeaux Cask, a well deserved three SIBs.
• 37:51
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Interesting.
• 37:52
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Really.
• 37:52
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I gave it higher. I wasn't paying attention. Oh no.
• 37:57
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Sorry. Four sips. Sorry, looking at the wrong page. Sorry guys.
• 38:04
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Four.
• 38:04
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Well done.
• 38:05
  so you might have other things to do at 02: So let's move on to our next one, which is going to be Maury.
• 38:10
  so you might have other things to do at 02: The uh, next whiskey is the Islerase peded Chinkapin Cask. It's number 19 of 56 coming in at 62.1% ABV or 124.2 proof. This whiskey has a uh, pale copper color to it. On the nose it's a little bit hot.
• 38:32
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I get a lot of it's hard, my nose.
• 38:35
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's right when you smell something and it's hot, you're not expecting that. You're thinking you want to get a flavor and you get heat. That's what just heat it's hard to describe.
• 38:44
  so you might have other things to do at 02: A lot of heat on the nose. Yeah, it's hard to describe, and you're right. It's hard to sort through.
• 38:49
  so you might have other things to do at 02: The, uh, notes smelled to me like, um, hot like, um, hot oak chips.
• 38:58
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah.
• 38:59
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's like burning oak.
• 39:00
  so you might have other things to do at 02: And it was hot on the palate, too. I found it to be like hot oak on the palate. Uh, a little bit tannic. Definitely more oak. Tannic leather, uh, notes, and then a little hint of bitterness as it just sort of fades out into the background. Um, an interesting whiskey. Uh, but I'd say on its own, not so much.
• 39:23
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I don't think, on its own, but I think blending it gives it with that structure back thing, gives it that bottom layer.
• 39:31
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Good.
• 39:31
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I agree with that. This is the structure underneath for the whiskey to be taken.
• 39:37
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Usually the components aren't all that good on their own. It's when you put them together, you're putting it in for a particular purpose.
• 39:43
  so you might have other things to do at 02: So, um, that's why I was so shocked about the prior one, like, how good it was on its own, which.
• 39:48
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Was, uh, an anomaly, because you're right, the components are not quite as good.
• 39:51
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah.
• 39:51
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I think they're doing this for the base to get that tannin in, to get that base smoke in.
• 39:57
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Um, and so chinka pin is a weird Texas oak that was really popular a few years. Everybody was experimenting.
• 40:03
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It seemed like a lot of different people were using chinkapin oak.
• 40:05
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Well, one person starts, everybody else follows, and then tries to figure it out, and then eventually everybody figures out whether it works or it doesn't work.
• 40:14
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah, I've not had a chinkapin oak whiskey that I've actually long right now.
• 40:18
  so you might have other things to do at 02: There are a few out there. Well, right now, the buzword is ambarada.
• 40:22
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Umbarana, is freaking amazing.
• 40:24
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Buzword.
• 40:24
  so you might have other things to do at 02: He caught onto the buzzword.
• 40:25
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah.
• 40:26
  so you might have other things to do at 02: No, I've tasted many ambirana whiskeys and I've tasted ambarana aged gin. Oh, my God.
• 40:33
  so you might have other things to do at 02: This stuff's amazing.
• 40:35
  so you might have other things to do at 02: But again, that's the flavor of the, uh, you somebody will find some weird tree that grows, like, on the top of a mountain in the Himalayas somewhere, and then they'll be doing that two or three years until it's extinct.
• 40:47
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah.
• 40:47
  so you might have other things to do at 02: The last truffula tree. What are you the yeah, this is.
• 40:52
  so you might have other things to do at 02: The one that I said. I think they just tried to put this in there to try to hide it. Because they had it. Because they had it, and they just needed to put it in to hide it.
• 40:59
  so you might have other things to do at 02: That's what your wife does with you, right? Why she makes you sleep under they.
• 41:03
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Only made 56 barrels.
• 41:05
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah.
• 41:06
  so you might have other things to do at 02: So there's not that much of it.
• 41:07
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah. Again, uh, it's a blending component. They're using it for a purpose, not to be sent out individually. But they were kind enough to send us these so that we could actually kind of take it apart.
• 41:22
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It is nice to take it apart like this.
• 41:24
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Well, here's the thing. Take a sip of that and then take a sip of the regular single malt and see if you can pick that out. That's the thing.
• 41:31
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Oh, hey, I didn't do that. Take a sip of the Arcane, see if you can still taste the.
• 41:38
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Plastic.
• 41:38
  so you might have other things to do at 02: That's m the sound of a pen flying across the table.
• 41:42
  so you might have other things to do at 02: And I can you can pick it out.
• 41:47
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah.
• 41:47
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I think that's what brings take a.
• 41:49
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Sip and then go back to the single malt.
• 41:52
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Right.
• 41:52
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I don't want to taste that chinka pin in it, though.
• 41:55
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's right down here.
• 41:56
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's right down here. That's the problem. I think, uh, for me, I would have liked to taste it without the.
• 42:03
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Chinka pin, but, uh, I don't think it's bad.
• 42:09
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I understand why they did it, but it's got that heavy oak.
• 42:15
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah.
• 42:16
  so you might have other things to do at 02: And it's got that burnt.
• 42:18
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's not for me, but taste it.
• 42:19
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Taste it. It's not so much that you taste that whiskey, but you can taste that base that it lays what's underneath. Yeah. See way down below it's right there. So that's kind of cool. Well, we're going to be rating the, uh, Isle of Rese, uh, peded chinkapin deuceips, because not so much on its.
• 42:40
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Own, but definitely giving even these components ratings.
• 42:46
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah.
• 42:47
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's what we do.
• 42:48
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Right, well, let's move on to our third component, which is the olive X rye cask. It's number 18 to 627.
• 42:59
  so you might have other things to do at 02: 62.4% ABV 124.8 proof. It's got a very light straw color on the nose.
• 43:11
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's sweet. It's got a little bit of a spice to it on the tip of the.
• 43:20
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Nose.
• 43:20
  so you might have other things to do at 02: On the palate. Oh, yeah. I get the rye spice on that right.
• 43:28
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Away.
• 43:29
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Um, there's definitely a rye note to it, see, whereas the one before that was all down in the bottom of the palate. This one, for me is all on the top of the palate.
• 43:37
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Oh, yeah. Right over the top.
• 43:39
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah. One's up here and one's down here.
• 43:42
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Now you're starting to get your sinuses.
• 43:45
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah.
• 43:45
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's like, okay, I get it. They put one in for the bottom, one in for the top, and one end for the middle, and that all worked out.
• 43:52
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Um, well. There's actually six components we're tasting.
• 43:55
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah.
• 43:55
  so you might have other things to do at 02: The unpeated ones.
• 43:58
  so you might have other things to do at 02: But.
• 43:59
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Um, it's got a nice light smoke to it. It's not overpowering. Um, just enough there to give you that flavor, but not enough to knock you off your chair.
• 44:12
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Solid.
• 44:13
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I enjoyed that one.
• 44:14
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I really like this, too. But on the nose, there's nothing there for me.
• 44:17
  so you might have other things to do at 02: No, the nose is absolutely muted.
• 44:20
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's just a great word for the day.
• 44:22
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Muted. Right.
• 44:22
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Well, this is a very on the nose. I just got a very light smoke on the nose and that's it. That's all I got. Like, hardly anything.
• 44:28
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Exactly.
• 44:28
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I get a little bit of light pear or lemon and just a little bit of smoke. But it's so muted so far down there.
• 44:37
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Give it a touch of water and that, uh, lemon comes out.
• 44:40
  so you might have other things to do at 02: The lemon comes out. Try that lemon peel.
• 44:44
  so you might have other things to do at 02: There you go. This one I enjoyed, but only on.
• 44:47
  so you might have other things to do at 02: The palate, not the nose.
• 44:49
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Right. But the smoke on the nose is very muted. You're not getting a lot of smoke on that nose.
• 44:54
  so you might have other things to do at 02: No, it's more palate than nose.
• 44:56
  so you might have other things to do at 02: On the palate. This is all about the spice and bold flavor.
• 45:00
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Now, I want the other three.
• 45:02
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I want the unputed because I want.
• 45:04
  so you might have other things to do at 02: All six of them so I can figure out, okay, this one's doing this, and this one's doing that.
• 45:08
  so you might have other things to do at 02: We don't know how much of each one. You don't know the percentages either.
• 45:13
  so you might have other things to do at 02: That's the blender's art. It's about synergy. The, uh, whole being greater than some of the parts.
• 45:19
  so you might have other things to do at 02: But that would be a cool experiment to have all six, and then just literally sit down there, write your thoughts down. Okay. Which one is doing which?
• 45:26
  so you might have other things to do at 02: In the final product, the water makes a big difference with this particular one, I think it really brings out the fruit and does not accentuate the smoke.
• 45:34
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah, because before that, it was just leather and tobacco. And when you add the water, you get that orange.
• 45:40
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Remarkable.
• 45:40
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Orange comes out.
• 45:41
  so you might have other things to do at 02: And sometimes you'll get one you add water and the smoke goes through the roof. And sometimes you'll get one you add water and the smoke disappears.
• 45:51
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah. Tobacco on the rye cask one or which one?
• 45:53
  so you might have other things to do at 02: You do?
• 45:53
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah, on the rye cask one.
• 45:54
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah, I didn't even get that. I only get the clove and the cinnamon in the maybe there's a little bit. Yeah, there's tobacco.
• 46:00
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah, you're right with the water.
• 46:03
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Right.
• 46:05
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Wow.
• 46:05
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Well, we're going to rate the, uh, alive breast, say, X, rye cask, three sips.
• 46:12
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Interesting.
• 46:12
  so you might have other things to do at 02: So that brings us back to the final single malt, which is a blend of these three plus the other three unpeated casks. So we're going to have Brent tell us. Uh, we're going to have Harm tell us.
• 46:25
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Okay, dude, because you made me talk about the arcane.
• 46:28
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Oh, that's right.
• 46:29
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah, that's right.
• 46:30
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I forgot to talk about a good whiskey today, too.
• 46:32
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Let you talk about the inaugural US. Release of a fine single malt.
• 46:36
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Go right ahead. So, Bret already described it earlier.
• 46:39
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's a blend of the six, uh, components, these three and then the other three unpeated ones. So the color is a beautiful gold and the nose is a combination. It's honey and berries and pear and hay and light smoke and sea salt and caramel. And on the palate, M, uh, tari, peat salt, honey, red berries, cassis, blackberries.
• 47:14
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Um, and it's got a great mouth feel. Covers your whole mouth back to front, top to bottom. And I'm getting all the different flavors coming out. There's salt prickling on the edges of my tongue. It's got a nice long finish. This is the way it should be. This is a great whiskey. And you see with the blender's art.
• 47:36
  so you might have other things to do at 02: And it's really changed in the glass time. Um, and air and water. This whiskey has evolved a lot.
• 47:43
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It was very smoky.
• 47:44
  so you might have other things to do at 02: It's very young. This is the prime example of the blender's art. You're taking components and making it better than some of their parts.
• 47:51
  so you might have other things to do at 02: But it was very smoky when it came out of the bottle, and now it's much more balanced.
• 47:56
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yeah, I understand if you're not a big peathead, you may not like this, but this is not a super peaty whiskey.
• 48:01
  so you might have other things to do at 02: This is not an Iowa.
• 48:02
  so you might have other things to do at 02: No.
• 48:02
  so you might have other things to do at 02: This is not over smoked at all.
• 48:05
  so you might have other things to do at 02: For a Northern Rasset is just off.
• 48:08
  so you might have other things to do at 02: The coast of Skyward.
• 48:10
  so you might have other things to do at 02: So, I mean, for a northern Scottish distillery, this is a little bit heavier than you'd normally get. But all in all, well balanced. Great mouthfeel, like he said, all around the palate. Top, bottom, front, back. I think they knocked it out of the park with this one. I really think this is a great whiskey.
• 48:27
  so you might have other things to do at 02: I could drink this all day. You're talking about all day sippers, maury. I would rather drink this than Irish because I prefer Scotch. I would make this into a highball.
• 48:35
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Drink it by the pool 100%. Well, we're going to rate the Isle of Rasse single malt whiskey a, uh, well deserved four sips.
• 48:46
  so you might have other things to do at 02: That's classified. Well, that's all the time we have for today. So I want to thank everybody for joining us today on the show. Thank you, Brent.
• 48:57
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Well, thank you for making me taste.
• 49:00
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Something that may have may have damaged.
• 49:03
  so you might have other things to do at 02: You may have damaged me.
• 49:07
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Forever.
• 49:07
  so you might have other things to do at 02: You got to kiss a lot of frogs, baby, to get to the oh.
• 49:11
  so you might have other things to do at 02: That's why the frogs are down here, I understand.
• 49:13
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Now, um, would you like me to do a taste bud transplant to replace those damaged taste buds?
• 49:21
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Bret, this, uh, makes you we have.
• 49:23
  so you might have other things to do at 02: A surgeon in the house.
• 49:24
  so you might have other things to do at 02: People say, why does a dog lick its own backside? And some people say, because it can.
• 49:29
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Well, sometimes it tastes better, too.
• 49:31
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Yes, it tastes better, too.
• 49:33
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Thank you, maury.
• 49:34
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Uh oh.
• 49:35
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Thanks for being here, Bob. It's been a wonderful day in the basement.
• 49:38
  so you might have other things to do at 02: And thank you, Arm.
• 49:39
  so you might have other things to do at 02: You know, thanks, uh, Bob, for the experience. I never would have tasted something like this by myself.
• 49:46
  so you might have other things to do at 02: Well, I wouldn't make you taste that one by.
• 49:50
