This was quite instructive! A completely different set of information than we got from Whiskey Guy that one time. Here's what I remember from that fellow:
1. Aging doesn't make a whiskey better. It makes it sweeter.
2. We were not wrong in thinking that some scotches indeed taste like band aids and charcoal. It is okay to drink band aids and charcoal.
3. Don't be a jerk. It's about flavor, not status or expense. Every whiskey has something going for it, even the ridiculous honey-flavored Jim Beam they served at the end of the event. Which was sponsored by Jim Beam.
Does anyone else who was there remember any details?
Okay, lemme try this. I got some Ardbeg Airigh Nam Beist in a nosing glass. All right... swirling the glass—dammit!
Okay, let's try that again. Sniffing thrice... yeah, no real difference in smell... tilting the glass... tears are slightly thinner than oh fuck this I'm drinking it.
I don't think I'd come up with that smelling three times thing on my own. However, I just tried it, and my feeble nose detected the same thing each time, in decreasing intensities. And I'm unsure about what I'd do with this information, once gathered.
I mean, he could have added a section on how not to drink the whiskey. Like, don't poor it down your pants. Or in your shoe. If you do it that way, it will not get into your mouth. The result is that you will not taste the whiskey.

4. It is possible to wear a kilt and mimic a Scottish accent both earnestly and for comedic effect AT THE SAME TIME
Does he have any videos on how to chew gum?

I agree. Buddy took 5:54 seconds to essentially say "drink the whiskey".
