Love drinking scotch, but hate having to stammer your way through "Bunnahabhain" when ordering at the bar? Esquire magazine and actor Brian Cox are here to help, with a handy series of videos on how to correctly pronounce the names of over 40 brands of scotch.
With Brian Cox sitting in a big leather chair, glass in hand, comfortably saying the name of each scotch, these videos make pronouncing Bruichladdich look easy. We only wish that more of the videos wrote out the names phonetically — yes, we're nerds — and that there were fewer commercials interrupting each under-5-second video.
Other than that, we love this series — and the fact that Cox is a fellow Lagavulin fan!

This is awesome but you're right about the ads, which incidentally are much louder than the actual videos. So obnoxious.
I love the thought of this but I can't get any of them to play :(
I don't know that I can trust the arch-nemesis of Jason Bourne, Wolverine and Max Fischer. Even on matters of proper Scottish pronunciation.
stupid office video blocker! i wish i could watch this, Captain O'Hagan* could read through a phone book and i'd watch it.
*If you got that reference you win the internet!
@jess13... "I swear to God I'm going to pistol whip the next guy who says "Shenanigans."
Fortunately, that is not the name of a scotch.
man, that would be awesome and all, were it not for the ads, which are longer than the damned videos themself.
I agree with rasellers0... I wish they were all in one video so that way the ads wouldn't take up so much time...
Ads? Adblock.
Mr. Cox and I share the same favorite scotch. Like a depth charge...pow. Classic.
