Man reviews Whiskey while his wife is packing her stuff and leaving him in the background
Here it is. He says "Cindy and I are breaking up" - then proceeds with the review of Laphroaig 10 Year Single Malt Scotch, which he tells us has been his go-to single malt - it's a "no compromise" Malt, he assures us.

Agreed. I have about 20 open bottles of different whiskeys right now. I'll probably have a glass or two each week.
You can have a very robust collection of whiskey and also drink in moderation. I know when I buy a new bottle I'm excited to try it, and the seal usually doesn't last for longer than a day.
You can store whiskey for a very long time if the bottle is over halfway full. Keep them upright and away from the sun and they'll last for many years and still hold their taste. You might lose some due to evaporation though.
If you used to buy for a liquor store, you'll know Laphroaig 10yo is the absolute bottom level Laphroaig, it's a liquid tourist trap lol
and then there are people in the comments section calling him a "stoic"
Tragic as hell..
Edit: Plot Twist
This is what I came to comment. I'm glad someone beat me to it. It's tough to watch, and I hope he's doing better.
I'm in his early period but with IPAs. I need help...
If you are serious about help, and you are still early in the process, just one less bottle per night every day for a week, then the next week one less than that.
It takes will power, but if you want it you can do it. It doesn't have to be cold turkey. If you are at a six pack a night, or a 4 pack of some 12% ones you can wean yourself off nightly binge drinking in a month or two.
When you are down to one a night, switch it to one every other night... Then don't buy any for a week. Then you can figure out how to drink more responsibility.
If you are to the point where you drink one when you wake up, you will need medical detox. If you wait... You will probably eventually die from alcohol related diseases.

Looks like they are back together or something. Lots of videos of them both recently including one released 22 hours ago of them going out to eat together.
A few months ago he had a video where he was vacationing with Cindy too.
In the description there is follow up video as well:

It’s like 10m long and haven’t been bothered to watch all of it. I guess they just mended their relationship after so many years. I guess at a certain point in life you just say fuck it and go back to what you know.
There is definitely a degree of complacency with the familiar. That said, the guy reviews booze. Booze and relationships can be trouble lol. People say and do dumb shit no matter how “sober” they think they are.
Maybe she was packing for a vacation?
I needed to hear that, thanks!
I'll never understand scotch drinkers, "oh here's a real good one, it tastes like road tar and dirty socks."
Can we burn this heretic already?
I can only assume that they like it for the same reason that I like blue cheese. Somehow the intense, offensive flavor offends the taste buds in just the right way to tickle the pleasure center.
Sips, a drop of water or two, with a good quality single malt or an extremely good quality blend (nothing Johnny Walker for example). Depending on the Scotch there can be Smokey caramel flavours, peaty salty, heavy flavours, some lite fruit tones, etc.
Its not for knocking back in shots, blends are nice with mixers, but if youre sipping a Johnny Walker red you are probably going to think this is shit because it is.
If you ever get the chance to try a really nice single malt I suggest you give it a try with just a couple of drops of water to open it up a bit. Then some gentle sips, enough to coat your mouth and spread the flavours.
Its like a nice cigar. Very rough if youre doing it wrong, very enjoyable if you do it right. I know most people will say "yuck, cigars are gross too", but the point is that there is a way to approach these things that make them much more enjoyable to the point where people genuinely like them and the routine that goes with it.
same kind of thing with coffee. most of it is brewed terribly, usually over extracted, and then sit on a burner all day. Brew it up right and the flavors dance about. Single origin is the way to go; along with location, elevation profile makes a difference as well.
I think I had some decent single malts as my father quite enjoys whiskey, but I still think it's horrible. It could be an acquired taste, I suppose, but I don't know why I would want to acquire it tbh
Other than a good single malt, my favorite drink with a cigar is Dr. Pepper on ice. I was a member of a cigar club for several years, and the manager and resident cigar sommelier suggested it. Surprisingly good. The ice breaks down the carbonation a bit, and the spice and caramel of the soda goes surprisingly well with many cigars.
This is only tangentially related to your post, but it just popped into my head when you were mentioning cigars.
Back in college, a friend described things he didn't like as "brown" and when I asked him why, he said, "only drink the clear liquor."
That's the peat, Pete. If it's too heavy for you, you're drinking the wrong scotch. Try a light Balblair or a Speyside or something similar.
Reminds me of centipedes. bleh.
Funny, the one he reviewed is my favorite, always have at least 2 bottles at home.
I was a scotch drinker back before I got sober. Road tar and dirty socks is as inoffensive as it gets. Truly top shelf stuff.
That video has a rich, complex undertone of depression. Mmmm that depression is smooth. You know, I find this video to be a real go-to for when I want that bouquet of isolation and denial. I just keep coming back to watch it again and again.
I can't find it, but a dozen plus years ago I was reading an interview with Phillip K Dick, who was married 5 times, and during the interview one of his- wives was packing things - and he commented to the interviewer to just let them take what they wanted as he has already experienced this multiple times.
Tbf the laphroaig 10 year is a really good bottle
The Wee Beasty is also very very good. My local shop has a couple of $100+ releases from Laphroaig that seem more trendy than anything else, but I'm still tempted. My wife would probably leave me if she knew I was willing to go into triple digits MSRP for a bottle... which is probably how we ended up with this thread.
I used to think Laphroaig was the poor man's Lagavulin, but now I don't believe there's a single poor man's thing about the brand.

QC FTW
Is this true. This is sad
God, who can tell anymore? It could be true, or he could just be doing it to get views. The internet is a shithole.
Video is 8 years old, I think it's a true story at least based on what I read. Also the fact that his own video doesn't mention this in the thumbnail/title makes me think it's real.
Why is it sad?
Relationships end all the time. This guy is handling it better than most.
Old but gold
That goodbye was brutal
Guy Emotions level is over -9000
