How to Drink Whiskey Like a Sir

HOW TO DRINK WHISKEY LIKE A SIR

A mustached man in a suit demonstrates an absurdly elaborate ritual for drinking whiskey: smelling it, tasting it, adding carefully tested water, and rejecting ice. His pompous lecture and exaggerated disgust turn ordinary bar etiquette into a comedy of snobbery, especially when he presents whiskey on the rocks as completely ruined. The dry instructional delivery, glass and bottle sounds, and emphatic spoken punchlines make it useful as a reaction to overcomplicated connoisseur behavior.

Pour it into the glass, swirl it around as I said to you before, throw it out because you want to get rid of any odours that are perhaps on the lip of the glass. Swirl it around, bring it up and say hello, then you go back to it. How are you? And then go back to it quite well. Thank you very much. Now remember, get into it. Don't go like this. None of this stuff. You want to get right into it to make sure that you're actually examining every part of that whiskey. How do you taste it? Don't knock it back like a cowboy. Take the water. But don't just pick up a jug like this. What you need to do is to pick up a jug with your finger in the water. Why? Because you want to test it. Why do you want to test it? Because many barmen unfortunately stick their jug under a hot tap by mistake. And therefore this is what ruins whiskey. Six times I've now ruined my whiskey. Six times. twice in America, once in France, once in Stockholm, and twice in England. So you take the still water, you put it into the whiskey, reduce it down to 35% alcohol. 35% alcohol is the ideal strength for really bringing out the whiskey in the palate. Putting them out. Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm. And then let it go down. Absolutely fantastic. If in fact I hadn't added sufficient water, what would happen? This is what would happen. Your face would start rummishing. It would start changing because it was affecting the taste buds and neathetizing them. So all you need is a little water. When I have a presentation, finish at night, want to relax, go into the bar, there's nothing more wonderful than the sound of whiskey being poured by the barman into a glass. I'm just going to have to take the glass from them to enjoy my whiskey. Suddenly I hear this other noise. This other noise of not just one or two bits of ice, but many bits. This is now scotch on the rocks. This is taking my whiskey, ruining it with all this ice. In the olden days when there was no ice, the Scots had to improvise. So what did they do? They went to the riverbeds. They took the cold rocks that had been chilled by the mountain snows. nose. They put that into the whiskey and that chilled it and that's what we call it scotch on the rocks. All I'm saying to you is this, if you're ever in a bar and you want to try and enjoy your whiskey this way, don't take it. Take hold of the barman and show him what it's all about. Yeah, chuck it away. You don't need it.
