- Hello and welcome back to whiskey...
Me drinking whiskey. I'm joined here today with
famous Irishman. - Mr. Penisface.
It's me.
Felix: Your real name this time! Jack: I know. Felix: Out of character.
- Today we're gonna drink some whiskey, and we're also shooting in front of a live audience!
[the sound of the excited crowd]
Wow, first time ever!
- So since you're Irish... - Yeah...
- ...obviously... - ...we're alcoholics.
- Well, and also, we're gonna drink some Irish whiskey.
- Oh, that's where you're going with! Okay.
- Uh, one thing that kinda unifies Irish whiskey is, u-uh, it's not very peaty.
- It's not? - It's not very peaty, which is contrary to the whiskey you gave me...
- Yeah! - ...which is very peaty.
- I though that was, like, the only thing it had.
- No, it's actually the opposite. So Irish whiskey typically you don't wanna drink with, like,
ice or anything like that.
- Oh. - You wanna drink it straight up
because it's already very light and very nice.
- Well, we'll see about that.
- Okay, we'll see. Why don't we start with the Jameson?
- O-oh, the classic.
- This is one of the most famous whiskey brands... of all time.
Do you guys recognize the Jameson?
[offscreen] No... mm-mm.
[Are you serious right now?]
- This is like the cheap one that you mix with everything. - It's the one with- you mix it with ginger ale, typically.
- Yeah.
- I'm just gonna pour a little bit 'cause we have a lot of whiskey to go through.
Apparently Jameson... Jhameson? Jemeson?
Jemeson. - Yeah.
- People call him the Chuck Norris of whiskey.
I don't know why, they just think he's a badass.
He... Apparently he's a Scotsman.
- Oh. Fraud. - Yeah.
- Fake.
- He moved into Ireland to do this, uh, distillery.
- He had to learn to spell it a different way, then.
- I don't know.
It's Jameson. Why don't we just drink it?
Cheers! Oh, what do you say in Ireland?
- Sláinte. - S-sláinte [some Swedish helvete]
- [some Irish Swedish helvete]
- It's not good to have a joke...
I like it!
- Just tastes like whiskey.
- Why don't we step it up a notch?
A'ight, this one, I know nothing about.
- Well, as an irishman, I can tell you, it's called The Irishman.
[nice one, Jack]
- It's not very expensive.
- I made this one. - Oh my God.
- I'm the Irishm- oh, no.
- Why..? Why did they do..? Oh, Edgar's gonna eat these.
- Why does anybody pack anything with these?
- It's so annoying, right?
[CRONCH]
- Te- Tell- tell us what you smell, Felix.
U-uh, vanilla top note.
[lip smacking]
That's a very easy to drink whiskey, so kids out there, if you wanna get into a whiskey,..
- Oh my God, yeah, you're right.
- ...start with The Irishman.
- That was- - That's like a kids' whiskey.
- Yeah, well.
Yeah. That was nice.
Next up we have... The whiskey that...
- THE OL' CONNEMARA!
-The ol' Connemara! You gave to me this whiskey. - I did!
- This is a cheaper version. - Yeah.
- It's still nice though.
- Connemara. Fun fact: Connemara is one of the places in Ireland that still speaks very heavy Gaelic.
- This is the last thing I drank before I got stomach flu. Stomach sickness.
- O-ho, yeah. - And after it I was just, like, I couldn't drink whiskey for so long.
You ruined- you ruined it for me.
- Alright. This one might mess you up. - And this one also is... comes packed with the...
God damn... - What's wrong with Irish people?
- So this one is peated. - Yeah.
- So, why don't you tell everyone about peated whiskey?
- Peat. Well, peat, or turf... - Do you know what peat is?
- Yeah. I used to live next to it. - Oh!
- I used to live next to a bog, in log cabins.
So right next to my house was a peat bog.
- So it's basically like...
- Dirt. - De- decaying, dirt.
- Yeah! It's like what you dig up to burn in your fire.
- Well, let's have a look, let's go with the Glenlivet...
- The fancy ones.
- Yeah. So these are made so that you can smell it better... Oh, sorry.
- We're doing this, apparently.
Felix: Evoke the flavors.
Jack: Mister science over here.
Felix: Okay, you have- alright, you know what-
Jack: Mister fancy.
Felix: Okay, we won't-
Jack: See, Irish people just drink it.
Jack: That's good.
I like that one.
Felix: Yup.
Jack: [raspy] Yup. I like that one.
Felix: It's a lot more flavor. Than, the other ones.
Jack: I don't know if you could drink too much of it, though.
Felix: It's nice, I do like it. If you prefer like, smoky types,
it's good.
Jack: It's bolder.
Has a bit of body to it.
[slurring] WHAT'S NEXT FELIX?
Y'GONNA DO A WHISKEY?
Hey Edgar! I didn't know you smelled this nice! [snifts]
Felix: Look at this fancy box, by the way.
Teeling.
So, Irish whiskey did really badly, for a long time.
Jack: Pfft, of course.
Felix: It used to be super popular,
and then, it did really badly,
and this is the first, distillery in Dublin, that opened in 125 years.
Jack: Oh, wow, you get a certificate as well?
Felix: I guess, yeah.
Jack: From Jack Teeling?
Felix: Jack Teeling has signed this whiskey, thank you Jack!
This is a crazy bottle by the way.
Look at that.
Jack: It's very, clear.
Felix: 1999.
Jack: It's fourteen years old!
Jack: I'm gonna- I'm gonna swirl the glass, I don't know if you know this,
I'm gonna swirl the glass, 'cause it invokes the smell.
Felix: Y- well yeah. The thing is, 'cause,
it's been in there for a long time.
[Jack laughs] And you wanna, y'know,
the thing goes on top so you wanna mix it, so you-
Doesn't all.
I think at least. I dunno. I dunno.
Jack: It smells like something and I don't know what it is.
Felix: It's kinda hard to describe, I'd say like a manly perfume.
I dunno, let's just drink it.
Jack: Okay.
Bottoms up.
Jack: That's a weird one.
Felix: It's very different from the others, yeah.
Jack: It kinda bounces on your mouth.
Felix: It bounces all around in my mouf right now.
Jack: Ma moff.
[laughter]
Felix: It's very different.
Very nice.
Jack: Is that it?
Felix: No, we-
Jack: Oh, God.
Felix: Sorry.
Jack: You just looked at me like, 'okay what next?'
Felix: Red Breast!
Which is a bird!
Jack: Oh, yeah.
Felix: You've heard of this one?
Jack: Oof.
OOF
Felix: This is when you wanna, do this.
[STATIC]
Felix: It's weird with water.
Jack: It doesn't taste that strong I think we put too much water.
Felix: I think you put too much water, yeah.
Jack: I like how I said 'we', and then he said 'you'.
Felix: [laughing] Because you did it.
Felix: Yeah you put too much water.
[CLINK]
You kinda ruined it. And I think everyone's gonna get pissed at us now.
Jack: Okay, umm, thanks, I have been Jacksepticeye, and I'll see you later.
Felix: There's more whiskey Jack, come back!
Jack: OOooOh [both laughing]
You didn't say that!
Felix: This one was, uh, the most expensive one.
Well, I don't really know what it is.
So it's made by the whiskey agency, which I imagine,
is just like a group of people who's
they're bottling, what they like to drink.
Distilled in Ireland, aged 27 years,
distilled-
Jack: That's as old as I am!
Felix: Yeah! That's pretty cool.
You know what they say, y'know, it's a privilege to drink a whiskey as old as you are.
Felix: Okay, this is uh,
Jack: WHOA
That just like all of a sudden, like,
like, pierced my nose.
Felix: I don't, feel that.
Too much mustache. It's blocking it.
Jack: It's filtering it out.
Felix: No, it's very nice. So what I'm told you can do,
is you get a like, a couple drops of water,
and that will make the, chemical reaction
of the whiskey, go, and it will hit your tongue,
more of the, flavor?
[both laugh]
Felix: I think I formulated that sentence quite eloquently,
thank you very much!
[laughing]
Jack: Wow.
My God.
That's like the Teeling one, but like,
Felix: Ooooh I like that one!
Jack: Waaaay stronger.
Felix: Damn!
It's so, damn, it bites you, man!
Jack: It's almost like it hits your tongue and then just like, spreads out.
Felix: Damn. I like that one a lot.
Jack: It's like being stung by a bee.
Felix: That was worth the price, I would say. That was definitely the best one.
Jack: That's a strong whiskey.
Felix: Hchh, I shouldn't have poured so much of that.
Jack: Yeah, I'm not drinking the rest of that.
Felix: But I just did.
Felix: So fruity, but it's, even though it's so strong it still has the flavor,
so it sorta contrasts that it has so much alcohol in it,
Felix: That was it!
Jack: That's It?
Felix: That was it.
JUST KIDDING! We have one more!
Jack: I was just going to say 'that was a good one to leave off on!'
Felix: We have...
Jack: Oh my God, this looks like moonshine.
Felix: This whiskey, is, vintage.
Jack: This is like, covered in, covered in dust!
Felix: It's covered in dust! Guess how old it is.
Jack: I don't know.
Well, the other one was 27 years, so I'm assuming it's more than that.
Felix: Okay, gimme a, gimme a number, come on.
Jack: Ff- the- 35.
Felix: Okay. Anyone in the audience wanna guess?
[Marzia offscreen: I don't know..]
Felix: Okay, well then you don't guess.
[offscreen: I wanna say, thirty-something as well.]
Felix: 48? Thirty-something? 50?
Jack: I was gonna say 50 originally but I thought that was too high.
Felix: Any other guesses?
Jack: 75.
Felix: It's a hundred years old.
[PJ offscreen: WHAT.]
Felix: It's from 1920, so it's almost 100.
Jack: Jesus!
Felix: I don't know, if I'm supposed to open it.
'Cause it's kinda like,
is that what you do? Or do you just keep it, or like-
Jack: I- whiskey channels, you're the one who watches them.
Felix: That's- well, that's the thing, I don't know, I never
seen anyone have like a really, really, really old whiskey.
Jack: 70 proof, as well.
Felix: Are we gonna die drinking a whiskey like this?
Jack: That's- that's basically absinthe.
[PJ offscreen: Do it.]
Felix: [laughing] What was that, PJ?
[PJ offscreen: I said do it.]
Jack: It's your birthday, might as well be your death day as well.
Felix: Whiskey... Whiskey is for drinking, right?
Jack: Yeah.
Felix: Oh, oh nooo...
[quietly] Fuck.
[PJ offscreen: The cork rotted away...?]
Felix: Yeah, it just- oh my God. I barely put any pressure on that.
And I should've thought about that before I did it.
Jack: What's the point of having that old whiskey if you can't even open it?
Jack: It says 70 proof on it.
Jack: This is way older than some of us combined in the room.
This smells like someone's burnt-down house.
[Felix laughing]
Jack: Doesn't it? It smells like a burnt-down house.
Felix: What do you say?
Jack: Sláinte.
Felix: Sláinte. [assorted clinks]
Felix: That's very strong.
It's good though.
Jack: It tastes like my Granny's house.
[Felix wheeze-laughs]
Felix: I'm surprised how well it tastes.
It's actually really good.
Jack: That's probably the best one out of all of them so far.
Felix: I don't-
It's actually very nice.
Both: Yeah.
Felix: What the- how is that possible?
Felix: I'm glad. 'Cause, I- I expected poison but it, it was-
[Jack laughs]
Felix: It was actually really good.
Jack: Turns out they knew what they were doing a hundred years ago!
Felix: It turns out they knew what they were doing.
Well, Irish whiskey is on the rise, man.
Jack: Do you- do you like it more than Japanese whiskey?
Felix: No. Nah, Japanese whiskey is the BEST.
Jack: Really?
Felix: It's the BEST.
Jack: Theres a pub in Ireland that's like, from 900 A.D.
Felix: That's ridiculous.
Jack: And it's called Sean's Bar.
Felix: AAAY!
Jack: And we used to live very close to it.
And it's right next to a castle.
Felix: Well thank you for joining me on this Irish special, episode. And uhh,
I don't really have an outro.
Jack: Do drugs, kids!
Felix: Don't do drugs.
Jack: Drink whiskey, kids!
Felix: Don't
Jack: Only if it's 100 years old.
Felix: Goodbye.
Jack: Bye.
