...and each order a whiskey. Just as the bartender hands them over, three flies buzz down and one lands in each of the glasses. The Englishman looks disgusted, pushes his dram away and demands another . The Irishman picks out the fly, shrugs, and takes a long swallow. The Scotsman reaches in to the glass, pinches the fly between his fingers and shakes him while yelling, “Spit it out, ya bastard! Spit it out!”

Ha...I just heard this recently, though the person messed up the end. Was it a podcast or YT video of a tasting?
(Edit: it was on a Whiskey Vault tasting video on YT)

The Eng lishman is drinking a pint of w hiskey? I mean it won’t kill him, but it seems like an intemperate decision.

I believe that’s where the Vault guys got it from, as they were mentioning his YT channel as well. (They are fans, as am I)
I was sipping some Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban 14 while watching the malt master’s review of it last night, always an enjoyable tasting with him.

Some years ago I posted a Ralfy Review (70' s Johnnie R ed vs. modern) and there was more than one reply expressing dislike of him personally. I think someone used the word insufferable.
It’s been my (very long) experience with Ralfy that it does take some time to get to know him. If you like whisky and don’t watch him because of his personality, it’s your loss. There’s no one on youtube with as much whisky knowledge as Ralfy.

Good one. But I’d have the Irishman berate the fly. My English Mom used to say, “The Scots fight, the Irish drink, the Welsh sing and the English queue.”

I can see how/why some would say that. I also watched the Bunnahabhain 12 review last night (with a matching dram! ) and the first 10 min that had nothing to do with the whisky - just some old story about college, a woman author, and rum - that eventually got around to him receiving his first real bottle of Bunna 12 from his father. To me, however, that was the best part of the video. I’ve only started watching him about four weeks ago....Bonneville? I clearly have much to catch up on.
I have added his book to my Christmas Wish List.

This sounds awesome in a Mike Myers “Fat Bastard” voice.

I too can understand how someone would say that. He can be... :-)x
I had a similar matching dram experience recently. 2 years ago I bought a bottle of Rock Oyster 18 and wasn’t over the moon with it. I thought it was kind of boring. I was surprised when in May I saw the thumbnail for Ralfy’s review of it. Before this there were no English reviews on youtube. I poured a glass, and sat back. He quite liked it. He didn’t completely change my mind, but he opened it.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
If you enjoyed this at face value you’re in for a treat. After years of watching it’s this kind of info that helps put his reviews in context.
Bonneville was a small displaceme
nt record. Not too long ago and shouldn’t be too hard to find references
as there were commemorative
bottles produced and mentioned on the channel
.

The joke is more that the Scott’s are notorious skin flints so anything that prevents them from getting their full half
p
enny’s worth makes them angry.
