Whiskey Jokers – Part I
Whiskey Jokers is a topic which explores the small secrets and tricks when it comes to whiskey consumption. You will read some strange, but easy to adapt technologies, which will surprise your friends and whiskey experts. We will tell you some interesting facts and some of our favorite websites for whiskey folly.
Have you wondered how to pronounce the newest whiskey on the counter? Have you ever been in this awkward conversation where you don't know how to pronounce the bottle of Laphroaig? The name doesn't have a French pronunciation, but the name means "The Beautiful cave with the wide shore". After that we order a bottle of Bunnahabhain and the expert from the shop awkwardly corrects us.
Instead of wondering, visit the YouTube channel of the scotch actor Brian Cox and listen to the correct pronunciations.
Have you heard of the terms whiskey tears or whiskey legs? Do you know that the longer they flow through the glass, the more aged the whiskey is? We have heard that some experts can tell the age just from the flow of the legs. We don't really believe them so we will play it safe and open a bottle of a 15-year old whiskey.
We suggest you try this technique by pouring yourself a glass of the whiskey beauty without any years on its label and one aged to see the difference. After that, give us one glass because now you are an expert.
Chewing the whiskey like a Kentucky man? Haven't you heard?
The real whiskey players from Kentucky don't drink but instead chew the whiskey. You've read that right! Chew it in the direct meaning!
Follow the steps:
- Take a sip of bourbon, scotch is also acceptable, an Irish as well, but not to have above 45% alcoholic content. When you become a professional, 50% can do as well.
- Move the liquid in your mouth and start chewing, aggressively and make sounds.
- Tornado, volcano, earthquake from whiskey explosions
- Tearing, stomach ache, and cursing the idea for the first 3-8 seconds.
- 10 seconds are enough to start feeling the real taste, warmth and softness, while thanking us for the idea.
- Repeat

The man with the hat is the very popular Ralfy with over 150 000 subscribers on its channel. If I see him in my neighborhood I will give him a glass of Black Ram but given his reviews I will be very careful what I say.
Our next participants are Whisky Tribe. The two Americans, who are very annoying with their lifestyle - they drink, have a lot of supporters and are very rich. Nearly 1 million people watch them!
The last reviewer is our whiskey expert Mladen from Sofia, who is the owner of bar Caldo and during his free time writes reviews, while drinking his favorite whiskey. He definitely does it out of obligation and does not enjoy it, but he believes it is responsible. He is watched by around 250 people, which is around the same number as the fans of the Bulgarian football elite.
