I started getting into Whisky (and bit of whiskey, but not so much, as yet) about 7 or 8 Years ago. Since buying my first bottle of Single Malt I've followed Ralfy Mitchell's Youtube blog. Ralfy's a bit of a character and cult figure on the Whisky scene and he's always got something to say. He's a bit of a Home spun Philosopher as well and prone to going off on tangents.. Over the past few Years he's adapted his style to review a Whisky (or other quality spirit) once a week (828 so far, and counting), followed by an 'Extras' vlog which is loosely based on Whisky but allows him to go off on a bit of a tangent. Always entertaining and something to learn!
Anyway, he posted the following last night, after previously reviewing a pretty expensive bottle of Blended Malt. He talks about the subtleties and nuanced experience behind developing ones taste in Whisky over time, in order to appreciate more expensive expressions. It's an interesting watch (well I think so anyway) and there's perhaps some relevance to other journeys, like, I don't know, learning the Sax, or appreciating music..
Or it's a Scottish Bloke blabbering on about Whisky, if you so wish Either way it's a good way of spending a few minutes (IMHO) (He has his own unique style, for those who might view for the first time!)
Good health!
