00:00:04.340 --> 00:00:10.100
Here's a video I am very excited about. If you watched my Instagram

00:00:10.760 --> 00:00:14.480
or any social media (which you should), you know I like whisky

00:00:14.980 --> 00:00:17.240
and my favorite is...

00:00:17.500 --> 00:00:21.680
Japanese whisky. Which we're (Oh you mean YOU'RE GONNA DRINK AND WE'RE GONNA BE JEALOUS AF ?) gonna drink today. Hell yeah boy!

00:00:21.680 --> 00:00:23.200
 

00:00:23.200 --> 00:00:27.500
It's one of those videos where I don't know if this is a good idea, but I just want to drink some whisky-

00:00:27.500 --> 00:00:28.300
 

00:00:28.620 --> 00:00:32.300
So I thought we start with the Japanese type whiskey.

00:00:33.160 --> 00:00:37.580
It's personally my favorite, probably a little little biased 'cause I love Japan.

00:00:37.940 --> 00:00:40.800
Uhh- okay. So left side we have uhh...

00:00:41.020 --> 00:00:43.020
Yeah, the Suntory whiskey.

00:00:44.060 --> 00:00:46.100
Nevermind, there you go.

00:00:46.420 --> 00:00:49.320
And right side we have the Ni- actually this doesn't belong.

00:00:49.510 --> 00:00:56.129
We had the Nikka- Nikka whiskey. Those are the two big distilleries are uh companies rather

00:00:56.129 --> 00:00:59.219
sorry in Japan. Suntory and Nikka.

00:00:59.460 --> 00:01:06.380
They're all very different, but the first one ever made was the Yamazaki and I have a 12 year old one.

00:01:07.100 --> 00:01:09.640
Which is uhh.. Very nice. VERY NICE :))))

00:01:09.660 --> 00:01:10.240
*TOO CLOSE*

00:01:10.300 --> 00:01:16.140
And then we have an 18 year old one which I've never even tried before, I've never had 18 year old aged whiskey

00:01:16.140 --> 00:01:18.780
so I'm really excited. Oh Suntory,

00:01:18.780 --> 00:01:26.260
you may have heard of, from the the movie 'Lost in Translation', when Bill Murray's on the.. he's doing the commercial and he's like "For

00:01:27.100 --> 00:01:29.100
relaxing time...

00:01:29.409 --> 00:01:36.449
make it Suntory time". So I thought we'd start with Yamazaki because it's the oldest of oldest, it's from

00:01:36.600 --> 00:01:38.770
1923

00:01:38.770 --> 00:01:43.020
It started. So it's- it's the oldest- I think it's the oldest distillery in Japan

00:01:43.689 --> 00:01:51.419
I don't know for sure. I'm curious if I will tell the difference between the 12-year and 18. I had this one before it's very nice

00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.600
But I'll just say that about any whiskey really. It's very niceee

00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:04.729
It's given me a very sweet palate. I'll just be like it's very nice. I like how they keep their bottles simple. Just fucking that's it.

00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:07.640
Okay...

00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:14.720
Get in there. And dats gonna be nice girl. We have a lot of stuff to try so let's just

00:02:18.860 --> 00:02:26.080
That's very nice. It's got a *tasting noises* Oaky taste to it very- very beautiful

00:02:28.260 --> 00:02:30.800
I would give it seven "very nice"s.

00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:32.910
We have the 18 years

00:02:32.910 --> 00:02:36.949
Let's just get the big guns out right away. Very nice, got the Suntory on the back.

00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:40.610
18 years. This bottle, guess how much it costs, Marzia?

00:02:43.320 --> 00:02:45.320
Damn it. Did I tell you?

00:02:45.720 --> 00:02:48.109
It's 500. It's pretty crazy

00:02:48.530 --> 00:02:53.690
I think in Japan you'll get it for like hundred and twenty. I never spent this much nearly on a whiskey

00:02:54.390 --> 00:02:57.200
I'm like nervous even trying it.

00:02:57.600 --> 00:03:00.729
Ohh it smells. It's beautiful

00:03:06.920 --> 00:03:12.789
You can definitely tell a difference. Much smoother taste, you can really feel it more. It's just beautiful whisky

00:03:13.760 --> 00:03:17.920
Very nice. VERY NAISE. I'm liking this, this is fun

00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:23.769
The next one that came out was the Hibiki. This is not aged whiskey

00:03:23.770 --> 00:03:29.829
It's sort of cheap, and I think it's a blend as well a meticulous blend of the finest whiskey

00:03:29.830 --> 00:03:35.080
But Hibiki is very good. I think a lot- if you know Japanese whiskey you'll definitely know about

00:03:35.980 --> 00:03:37.980
Hibiki I should probably pour a little less

00:03:38.700 --> 00:03:39.360
'Cause I-

00:03:39.720 --> 00:03:45.400
We got a lot of whiskies to go through I was gonna make it for the video, but I started early

00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:57.720
I mean, they all taste very nice. It gives uh, the- the aftertaste. It's sort of a taste

00:03:57.720 --> 00:03:59.140
that hits you when you have it in your mouth

00:03:59.140 --> 00:04:00.770
And then there's a taste when you swallow (That's what she said) ;)

00:04:00.770 --> 00:04:07.480
and it's so much more superior in this one compared to the Hibiki, even though the taste of them all is actually quite similar.

00:04:08.510 --> 00:04:10.700
Maya can you be quiet, or do you want some whiskey?

00:04:10.700 --> 00:04:14.510
Then we have the Hakushu, aged in the forest

00:04:14.510 --> 00:04:16.510
hence the green uhh

00:04:16.880 --> 00:04:21.130
Bottle and all that shit. Third HaKUshu, HAkushu?

00:04:24.770 --> 00:04:27.279
Beautiful. Love the bottle, isn't it beautiful?

00:04:28.520 --> 00:04:30.520
Yeah, you don't like it?

00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:35.620
I love it. It's very- it's got a very light color to it. This is the last one of the Suntory

00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:40.540
Whoa

00:04:41.420 --> 00:04:42.720
That flavor is so different!

00:04:43.820 --> 00:04:47.500
I really like that Hakushu. I think I would get an aged one of that next time

00:04:47.510 --> 00:04:54.620
I think it's the same thing here. Since this isn't aged, you you're not hit by that taste afterwards the same way that I like

00:04:54.960 --> 00:04:57.379
This is very nice. I give this one

00:04:58.170 --> 00:05:05.539
7 wery- "very nice"s... 8 "very nice"s, 7 "very nice"s. This is a 6 "very nice"

00:05:05.540 --> 00:05:09.740
Now we're moving on to the Nikka! Which unfortunately I only got two of them, and one I

00:05:09.740 --> 00:05:15.979
I finished. I have a little- a little bit left of this one. Yoichi was the first one

00:05:15.980 --> 00:05:21.540
they made, so Nikka was made by the legendary whiskey Japanese maker

00:05:22.220 --> 00:05:29.820
Takeshuru? His name.. Masataka Taketsuru. So this guy was like... "I want to make whiskey!"

00:05:30.300 --> 00:05:35.900
So he went to Scotland to study it, and then his met- he met his main bitch Rita

00:05:35.900 --> 00:05:40.910
And then- who was also studying making whiskey, then they went back to Japan

00:05:41.790 --> 00:05:46.730
And he joined the Suntory team, and he's like now fuck you guys. I'm gonna make my own brand

00:05:46.830 --> 00:05:50.270
So he made Nikka, and the first one they did was Yoichi

00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:53.120
1934, so

00:05:53.130 --> 00:05:55.220
Suntory's older, but Ni- I think Nikka is

00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:58.800
It's cooler B)

00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:02.359
So, they made Yoichi and they tried to recreate the

00:06:03.340 --> 00:06:05.369
The same thing they did in Scotland

00:06:06.190 --> 00:06:10.829
The same condition. They have it there it's on- made on the island, like the Southern Island, I think?

00:06:11.500 --> 00:06:14.489
Which is just as big as Scotland by the coast

00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:21.540
They wanted it to be as authentic to scotti- scotch as possible, and scotch is literally just whisky, but it's made in

00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:23.860
Scotland

00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:31.560
yeah, but they have to be that just to be called the scotch

00:06:32.110 --> 00:06:35.610
Prolly won't taste good because I left too much air in this bottle you shouldn't do that

00:06:36.760 --> 00:06:38.760
Yeah, I got nothing in here, hehe

00:06:39.430 --> 00:06:41.430
Well, it was good. I finished it

00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:44.879
Welcome to I'll monetize my alcoholism.

00:06:48.880 --> 00:06:52.019
Yoichi gets eight and a half "very nice"s

00:06:52.690 --> 00:06:54.690
Damn~ it bites the tongue

00:06:55.390 --> 00:06:59.819
Very nice. Eight and a half. I would almost say it's better than this one

00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:03.120
And this is a cheap one

00:07:03.460 --> 00:07:07.049
It's not aged. The other one I have is the Nikka Coffee Malt

00:07:07.870 --> 00:07:10.199
Which, if you like Whiskey..

00:07:10.930 --> 00:07:18.299
I recommend you try it out, It's very different. It's not coffee. It's named after the crea- uh, one of the investors or something like that

00:07:19.450 --> 00:07:24.270
But I feel like it tastes like coffee. I might be paranoid. I feel that I thought it was- "Oh

00:07:24.270 --> 00:07:26.270
so it's like a coffee flavor"

00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:28.560
It's made from corn

00:07:28.570 --> 00:07:31.379
mainly. It's cheap as well, if you want to get

00:07:32.980 --> 00:07:36.840
something. I feel- I don't want to mess up the facts. I feel bad if I like,

00:07:37.420 --> 00:07:41.819
get something wrong. I probably got some stuff wrong, but yeah, that's the

00:07:42.700 --> 00:07:47.280
Coffee one. If I remember correct- it has- oh it smells beautiful. I think it smells so nice

00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:50.319
 

00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:57.859
I don't know if I even can tell them apart at this point

00:07:59.099 --> 00:08:01.099
They're all so good

00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:06.558
I'll give it seven "very nice". It gets- it gets a strong seven "very nice". So this is a blend

00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:10.908
Single Malt, single Malt, single Malt, single Malt, so it's made from the same

00:08:12.749 --> 00:08:18.919
Which one, this one? It's a blend. Single Malt didn't used to be very popular. when they started these it wasn't really a thing

00:08:19.169 --> 00:08:23.568
But now it's like, if you want a good whiskey you probably want a single Malt

00:08:23.779 --> 00:08:27.019
I think there's a lot of great blends as well. Don't get don't get me wrong

00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:32.778
Which actually brings me to the final which is that Togouchi

00:08:33.060 --> 00:08:37.549
Which I couldn't find any information about. It's sort of a ~mysterious~ bottle

00:08:38.310 --> 00:08:45.739
They actually don't have their own distillery.. They- they don't- whoa. Is this 18 years? I didn't even know!

00:08:46.500 --> 00:08:48.500
So I have that 18 years aged

00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:50.639
you'll see it has uhh

00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:55.459
Canadian writing on it. That's because they import from Scotland and Canada

00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:03.469
Whisky. And then they masterfully blended into the Togouchi. I love it. Look at the bottle, it's so beautiful

00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:09.230
It's sort of has a- if I remember correctly it has like a grassy taste to it? Which doesn't sound good

00:09:09.230 --> 00:09:14.630
But it's- it's very.. I'm so glad I didn't finish this bottle. Hey this one grew on me.

00:09:15.149 --> 00:09:17.929
I didn't really love it in the beginning, but then- okay

00:09:23.100 --> 00:09:27.169
Yeah, it just has this weird... taste like nature

00:09:28.590 --> 00:09:32.899
It's really good. It's so different from any of these like these- like these

00:09:32.900 --> 00:09:39.949
I couldn't really probably tell apart to be honest. This one definitely has a unique- I can't believe it's 18 years

00:09:39.950 --> 00:09:44.030
I had no idea! That's crazy. So that concludes my

00:09:44.820 --> 00:09:46.410
Japanese

00:09:46.410 --> 00:09:49.219
Whiskey we got the Suntory. We got the Nikka

00:09:49.220 --> 00:09:53.989
I wish I brought more Nikka, my favorite Nikka is the Nikka from Barrel.

00:09:54.450 --> 00:09:56.599
I really recommend that one. Check it out

00:09:56.820 --> 00:10:01.760
If you want- if you're like, "Oh, I don't know which one to get! I want to start-" Try that one. It's very good

00:10:01.760 --> 00:10:06.499
It's got a lotta alcohol in it *Click* Got a good kick to it. Now we're gonna do the test

00:10:06.500 --> 00:10:09.320
I feel like. You'll have to set up the blind test

00:10:10.860 --> 00:10:16.610
I mean, the color is already a dead giveaway, isn't it? This one is darker, isn't it? Or maybe?

00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:23.030
If I had to guess just looking, I would say this is the 18, and this is the

00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:25.500
12

00:10:25.500 --> 00:10:27.500
So why don't we start with this one?

00:10:32.340 --> 00:10:34.819
I don't want to mess this up. It's like 50/50

00:10:42.100 --> 00:10:47.640
It's good. It's so good. You can tell yeah, I can tell it's Yamazaki because it has that cherry

00:10:49.089 --> 00:10:50.529
It's not even cherry its more-

00:10:50.529 --> 00:10:55.379
Y- you can taste the casket, which doesn't sound good at all but, strong flavor in this one actually

00:10:55.540 --> 00:10:59.440
Maybe that was the 18 years one. I don't know. I don't know I need to try this one

00:11:01.060 --> 00:11:03.060
Come on. What do I win?

00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:03.900
Marzia: Nothing!

00:11:03.900 --> 00:11:04.400
Okay

00:11:06.160 --> 00:11:09.600
That's hard. Here's the thing. I want to go with my intuition

00:11:10.810 --> 00:11:16.739
Which tells me this is the 12 year one... No the opposite, the flavor is telling m this is 18.. okay

00:11:16.740 --> 00:11:18.100
This is the 18.

00:11:18.100 --> 00:11:20.100
I got it?!

00:11:21.459 --> 00:11:29.279
Okay, for real I get a lot of questions like "oh, I want to try whiskey. I don't- I tried Jack daniels and I tried

00:11:29.860 --> 00:11:35.909
Jameson", but it's that's like saying  "Oh, I like Burgers, but I'm- I love- I'm trying McDonald's and Burger King"

00:11:36.550 --> 00:11:38.729
Listen, there's this whole beautiful world

00:11:39.610 --> 00:11:47.339
waiting for you, okay, Suntory and Nika. Thank you both. God bless you Japan. God bless you. Thank you very much
