Thanks for taking one for the Team, but these are the kind of reviews i look forward too! Not trashing the product.. but saving me $80+ I havent seen any publicity behind this either.
Thanks for being honest. Many youtubers are holding back saying anything bad to fear of retaliation from Beyoncé fans. Thats why I continue to be a fan of the channel
haha, I highly doubt Beyonce fans are watching whisky reviews. And what channels are holding back? They can't wait to trash it exactly because its an overpriced celebrity venture (that most likely sucks : ) Still, I want to try (not buy) it and see for myself.
Some more notes: This whiskey was blended by a well regarded scotch distiller/blender, Bill Lumsden, who has done work for Glenmorangie and Ardbeg. Also, the mashbill for this product is only rye and Malted barley, 51% Rye 49% Malted Barley. So it's not going to taste like a standard MGP mashbill. The finish is PX Sherry casks.
51 rye/49 malt used to be a mash bill MGP offered, though it wasn’t very popular and didn’t taste much like the 95/5 mash bill. I’m not sure if they still offer it or if it’s been discontinued.
One more note: this isn’t straight rye so it can be under 2 years old and loaded with additives and sugar and not tell anyone about it. Remember Templeton Rye?
@@steveno7058 the problem with Templeton was more that they lied about their product being distilled in Iowa and being an old recipe from Prohibition that Al Capone liked, neither of those was true since it was MGP rye.
I was interested when I heard of the mashbill, as I like to try unusual mashbills, but then when I saw that it was very low strength and had no age statement, I was a lot less interested. If it turns up at a bar, I might try it out of morbid curiosity, but I won't be buying a bottle. I will have to keep an eye out for other products that have used this mashbill - maybe someone else has done a better job with it. Most celebrity booze is a ripoff, unfortunately.
Keep in mind this isn’t STRAIGHT rye. So it could be younger than 2 years. They could also add sugar, vanilla extract, fake wood and coloring…and not tell you about it. That is why it is so important to be a STRAIGHT rye. Remember Templeton Rye?
If you are ready to pony up ~80 bucks for a finished bourbon or rye, go grab anything from Barrell Craft Spirits. Specifically the Seagrass. Easily one of my favorite pours in that category.
I bought Longbranch a while back just because it was a Wild Turkey product not knowing it was a "celeb" whiskey until i got home and my wife who does not drink but is a giant McConaughey fan said "Oh you bought Matthew's new whiskey". Pretty good whiskey though and fairly priced around $35 in my market here in TX.
Seems very bias… not a Beyoncé fan but he is down playing her story because she is Beyoncé and he can’t verify it. This is a celebrity whiskey so yes it’s not going to be worth the price point because there a celebrity name attached to it.. The father was definitely more open and unbiased. The son definitely steered more towards bashing than he did critiquing or reviewing
Of celebrity whiskeys, I do like the Metallica Blackened whiskies, at around $50. Supposedly subjected to their music to keep the liquid moving in the barrels, and following the recipe of a master distiller, it's really pretty good, whether you're into the band or not. Trenton you might like their "Rye The Lightning", a 92 proof rye finished in Madiera and rum casks.
And yet some people just can’t resist buying it for some reason. Paying money they worked much harder to earn than the celebrity did dollar for dollar.
The only celebrity whiskey that is worth buying in my opinion is the Lagavulin Offerman partnerships. I respect a man who is humble and enjoys whiskey just as much as the average guy, and lets the experts do the work. Nick Offerman has knocked it out of the park with all the Lagavulin releases over the past few years. The Guinness and Rum cask release are especially good!
I had heard the mash bill for this bottle is 51%Rye, 49%Malt. A very funky recipe that could maybe lend to its odd flavors. Anyway, it's a $90 infinity bottle that happens to have whiskey you can drink in it.
Probably because he actually liked whiskey,, unlike most of these Celebrity liquors where it's just an investment to make money off their name. At least Sammy Hagar was into tequila with the Cabo Wabo brand before he sold it. Bob Dylan's Heaven's Door brand also produces some very good whiskey.
I dumb lucked into an amazing bottle over the weekend for this same price tag of $89.99. Local store had the Hard Truth Chocolate Malt Rye, and I’m in love!
I bought this bottle at my local BevMo based on the recommendation of one of the staffers who purchased and said there was more to it than the name. I am not a Beyoncé fan lol and actually her name being on it makes me not want to buy it. Before giving the bottle a final decision I waited till the bottle was past the shoulders. I will say there is a pleasant taste for me on the finish. It’s sort of a creamy vanilla creme brûlée that I personally enjoy in my whiskey. I won’t buy a second bottle unless the price goes under 40. There are too many great bottles at this price point that this cannot compete with. When I pay almost 100 out the door I expect that bottle to be an experience and not just a nice sip. Thanks for your honest review.
I have heard a few good things about this Beyoncé bottle. I saw it for $75 and ALMOST picked it up. But I just couldn’t pull the trigger for an 88 proof bottle. I passed and I’m glad. What I didn’t pass on was the The Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye. WOW! What a great pour for $65! Also the Sagamore Sherry is fantastic.
Great review! We actually thought this was simple enough to be an everyday pour if the price tag was more like $20 - $30. It feels like a whiskey you can drink while you're chillin and it won't require your full attention.
I have never purchased a celebrity whiskey, but I suppose they are not targeting the 70 year old crowd. I have had a taste of WT Longbranch, which was fair, and a Heaven's Door product which was okay. Overall, the celebrity whose whiskey I love is good old Jimmy Russell.
I just got the notification that this got delivered! But I’m out of state working so my review will be weeks from now. Unfortunately I’m not super excited after hearing your review 😂. Thanks guys.
I have had a 7 year single barrel of this mashbill from MGP at cask strength that I got from Binny's for fifty bucks. It wasn't sherry finished but it was pretty darn good. Even if celebrities come out with good whiskey, unless there is something truly unique about it, I am sure I can find an equal or better alternative for a lot less money since they will be collecting a royalty on each bottle in addition to the distiller's profit.
From what I've read it's their own mashbill (51% Rye 49% Barley) contract distilled through MGP, 2 years old, finished in PX casks. I don't remember where I read it though, so that could be wrong.
I'm only commenting because I really like this channel. And I know comments help. I don't buy any celebrity whiskey maybe I should. But I think you're just paying extra money cuz it's their name on it and I can buy Eagle rare for 50 bucks so no not doing it.
Yes, moonshine is whiskey. Whiskey is a spirit distilled from fermented grain mash (corn, rye, barley, wheat... or any combination of those). Being unaged is what makes it moonshine.
@@gfg8816 No, whiskey is a broad category that includes moonshine. There are many whiskeys that are not moonshine: Scotch, Irish, bourbon, rye, American single malt, etc.
@@bradriley224technically its only true moonshine if its made illegally, the ones sold in stores are corn whiskey, clear spirits and distilled spirit specialties legally speaking.
I'm not sure if that's true for this one. I mean, I don't like her and the story's paper thin. BUT: if you bring out your first whisky for your fans, you source some safe MGP bourbon at 40%, not a rye. This is pretty our there for a first release for someone with no knowledge of whisky at all. Most fans won't like this, and Louis Vuitton/Moet Hennesy knows that as well.
The blended buffalo trace whiskey with Chris Stapleton is the best I've had as a celeb whiskey. Lower end proof but many people who are beginners I've had try it really like it.
To answer Trenton's questions. The only celebrity whiskey I've liked is Chris Stapleton's. Beyoncé's full name is Beyoncé Knowles Prince's full name is Prince Rogers Nelson
I love when Trent says I don't know why you would spend $5 grand on a duffel bag while I'm sure he has spent 5 grand on whiskey he didn't even like and just all those bottles sit. Everyone nerd$ out on something. You know how many people would say "who would buy a bottle of whiskey for $500! "
The bottle is beautiful, reminds me of the Escada Pour Homme bottle. The only celeb booze I have was Blackened and Aviation gin. The gin I had no idea was a celeb product till after I got it. I saw reviews of Blackened before purchasing and its pretty good as is Aviation gin. Otherwise I don't buy booze because of who its associated with.
Guys, I thought I told you how to read a label to see where it was distilled. If it is Canadian it has to have an import statement on the label. Also Canadian whiskey is more generic than US whiskey. For example, a "Rye" whiskey from Canada only needs to be "cereal grain" it does not need to be rye! If it is MGP it needs to state "Distilled in Indiana" on the label. I doubt that Beyonce knows good from not good.
Is it bad, or do you just not like it? I'm trying to get a good distinction between the two because current reviews (by those not in the fanbase that is) are not concluding that it's unanimously bad.
I got a Bob Dylan Heaven's Door "Decade Series" ... it is a ten year old 95/5 rye distilled in Indiana, so pretty obviously a MGP rye. For $48, I think its a bargain. The bourbon tastes like foot, though.
I saw four boxes of this come in at the total wine, and knew i would never touch it before a review. Won't be getting it. Long branch and Traveler whiskey are good for what they are in the $30 ish range, and Kurt is right, Traveler is definitely boring but this bottle is nearly $90. Traveler or Longbranch I don't mind having on the shelf for the story with friends, given the price of them.
Almost wonder if it being a celebrity whiskey paints their review because I feel lots of reviewers find out its a celebrity whiskey and then write it off mentally before trying it. There are some "celebrity" whiskies that are good.
Finally was able to get the Star Trek Bourbon 5th batch. It would be cool to see a comparison review with others to hear what you could think it’s mostly close enough n flavor with or a blind test too. lol
Have you tried Mike Rowes Knobel Whiskey? Huge fan of allnhe does for the trades and part if the proceeds go to hiis foundation. I have a bottle haven't opened it yet, too many open already
I have the Bradshaw bourbon and rye available in my area. If you’re interested the Bradshaw Rye actually started my journey into rye . I wasn’t a rye fan and I was given a pour of Bradshaw rye and that started my journey. I didn’t wanna like it because I really dislike Terry Bradshaw.
It could be the 51% rye / 49% malted barley that isn't jiving with their palettes. I haven't had this whiskey, nor do I plan to buy it, so I can't give any tasting notes. It would be interesting if they compared it to other whiskeys with this mashbill, like Smoke Wagon Malted Rye or Rossville Union BiB.

I learned from purchasing Traveller whiskey.
It’s all marketing and most importantly, All HYPE.
If you are ready to pony up ~80 bucks for a finished bourbon or rye, go grab anything from Barrell Craft Spirits. Specifically the Seagrass. Easily one of my favorite pours in that category.
I bought Longbranch a while back just because it was a Wild Turkey product not knowing it was a "celeb" whiskey until i got home and my wife who does not drink but is a giant McConaughey fan said "Oh you bought Matthew's new whiskey". Pretty good whiskey though and fairly priced around $35 in my market here in TX.
Thanks for the review! Curious if it makes a difference if this has some time opened, would it taste better? The bottle is beautiful!

You should do a blind with celebrity whiskies.
Yes …. That would be a good show/blind.
Yesssss pls

You guys need to do a Bakers 13, Widow Jane 13, Wild Turkey 13, Blue Run 13, and Russel's 13 blind!!! Battle of the 13's!!
I haven’t purchased one celebrity product yet.
Me either. Celebrities really don’t need charity money from me
I tried WT Longbranch, not really because of MM but because it was Wild Turkey
And yet some people just can’t resist buying it for some reason. Paying money they worked much harder to earn than
the celebrity did dollar for dollar.
Bob Dylan?

That was my immediate though: that's a really nice looking REALLY expensive decanter...
Wild Turkey Longbranch (Matthew McConaughey) isn’t terrible for a low proof bourbon
Probably because he actually liked whiskey,, unlike most of these Celebrity liquors where it's just an investment to make money off their name. At least Sammy Hagar was into tequila with the Cabo Wabo brand before he sold it. Bob Dylan's Heaven's Door brand also produces some very good whiskey.
They dropped his name from the bottle. Hes no longer associated with long branch. If you have one with his name on it it’s probably an older bottle.
Yeah he moved on to his own brand of tequila, which is actually very good.
It’s awful
It's not as good as 101 and costs more. I'm happy I paid $0.00 for the bottle of Longbranch I had. I won't be replacing it.
“Oh, Lord”. Pretty much sums it up.
Terry Bradshaw whisky is all over Bloomington.
Bloomington, IN? What’s it called?
go hoosiers
@@dsharton I see it at Big Red Liqours and it’s called Terry Bradshaw
It tastes like banana bread or bread pudding to me. I actually enjoy it for what it is. The price tag is also easier to stomach.
I heard it’s contract distilled by Green River.
Nice decanter for an infinity bottle
I dumb lucked into an amazing bottle over the weekend for this same price tag of $89.99.
Local store had the Hard Truth Chocolate Malt Rye, and I’m in love!
Hard truth has yet to let me down! They make some good products!
The Carmel is even better.
Hard Truth shouldn’t be passed up. They are excellent.

I walked past it today and purchased the last bottle of Weller full proof on the shelf for $48. Which I have never seen. Win Win.

What I didn’t pass on was the The Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye. WOW! What a great pour for $65! Also the Sagamore Sherry is fantastic.
Wouldn't expect anything less than an honest review from you guys, while expecting a bourbon of quality with a name like that.
Great review! We actually thought this was simple enough to be an everyday pour if the price tag was more like $20 - $30. It feels like a whiskey you can drink while you're chillin and it won't require your full attention.
Would try for $39. At $89 definitely a hard pass. Have way better options and store picks forr less.
I have never purchased a celebrity whiskey, but I suppose they are not targeting the 70 year old crowd. I have had a taste of WT Longbranch, which was fair, and a Heaven's Door product which was okay. Overall, the celebrity whose whiskey I love is good old Jimmy Russell.
Another celebrity bomb…. I would say, a waste of money for a cool looking bottle haha
Beyonce’s name is Beyoncé and Prince’s name is Prince. Those aren’t stage names.
Regarding the Whiskey, thanks for the review.
What’s worse this or the Hudson one you didn’t like?
I just got the notification that this got delivered! But I’m out of state working so my review will be weeks from now. Unfortunately I’m not super excited after hearing your review 😂. Thanks guys.
I won't waste money on celebrity backed spirits. Only exception might be Sammy Hagar, who actually drinks and is very involved in the process.
It did look good sitting on the shelf behind the counter... and when I saw the price I knew that is where it would stay.
I believe Bob Dylan's Heaven's Door brand has released some good whiskeys.
They are decent. At the price, I’d rather buy other stuff, but they are legitimate. I think he teamed up with Heaven Hill for those.
@g.shumway5925 Actually, Heaven Hill tried to sue them for name infringement (Heaven's Door vs Heaven Hill) and apparently lost.
@@xiamengbaby Ah, they fooled me!

Beautiful looking bottle, for sure.
COOL BOTTLE THOUGH
The other half of the mashbill is rumored to be malted barley and not corn, which probably largely accounts for the departure in flavor profile
Thank you Trenton for spending the money, I never would have, God bless you. Do you think she ever tasted this?
Bob Dylan’s heavens door is pretty good
I doubt this is marketed to buyers that know what they like, this is for fans and fans only!

I'm really surprised that they didn't go for a Cognac cask finish and at least age it for 4 years using a wheat forward Makers style bourbon.
I’ll opt for the Jack single barrel, barrel proof rye.

@SLB, do you guys have enough "celebrity" bourbon/whiskey to do a blind?
When Kurt said, "Oh lord." I felt that lmao
Wild Turkey Longbranch is the only celebrity whiskey that I have had. Nice tasting notes but weak, wonder how it would be at 100 proof or more?
Moonshine is considered a "Whiskey ". That's why it's called corn whiskey.
Just work up and saw this! Was waiting for a review on this one.
It is Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, and the tasting notes on the website don’t sound even close to anything you guys were getting!
I’ll be the man to say it “I love it!”
Guys, I thought I told you how to read a label to see where it was distilled. If it is Canadian it has to have an import statement on the label. Also Canadian whiskey is more generic than US whiskey.

Wow, such great content! Leaving a like for this, keep up the great job
Looks like I’ll be waiting on this bottle. Maybe some age will do it justice?

Have you tried any of the Knobel whiskeys?
Is it bad, or do you just not like it? I'm trying to get a good distinction between the two because current reviews (by those not in the fanbase that is) are not concluding that it's unanimously bad.
I had read somewhere that Bradshaw’s whiskey was contract distilled by Green River. They do many contract distilled spirits.
I got a Bob Dylan Heaven's Door "Decade Series" ... it is a ten year old 95/5 rye distilled in Indiana, so pretty obviously a MGP rye. For $48, I think its a bargain. The bourbon tastes like foot, though.
I wouldn’t drink it if someone tried to give it to me!!
It is probably "Sharri's casks" hense the funky smells.

Hudson - Do Rye Thing. No idea if it's still available guys.
LVMH also owns Woodinville.
I've made the mistake of purchasing this over the weekend also. It's terrible. I wish it was better, but it's terrible. I agree with you all 100%
Finally was able to get the Star Trek Bourbon 5th batch. It would be cool to see a comparison review with others to hear what you could think it’s mostly close enough n flavor with or a blind test too. lol
You don't think she had anything to do with this other than endorsing it? Straight cash homie.
You guys should try Four Walls Whiskey from the Always Sunny in Philadelphia guys. Never had it myself, but would be curious to hear your thoughts!
I had a bottle of a store pick Puncher’s Chance barrel strength bourbon, 123 proof. I thought it was pretty tasty.
I’ve heard good things about Metallica’s whiskey called Blackened. I’ve never tried it though.
That one’s actually pretty good
Have you tried Mike Rowes Knobel Whiskey? Huge fan of allnhe does for the trades and part if the proceeds go to hiis foundation. I have a bottle haven't opened it yet, too many open already
I have the Bradshaw bourbon and rye available in my area. If you’re interested the Bradshaw Rye actually started my journey into rye . I wasn’t a rye fan and I was given a pour of Bradshaw rye and that started my journey. I didn’t wanna like it because I really dislike Terry Bradshaw.
As the mighty Obi-Wan said, "This is not the horsey whiskey you are looking for"
It could be the 51% rye / 49% malted barley that isn't jiving with their palettes. I haven't had this whiskey, nor do I plan to buy it, so I can't give any tasting notes. It would be interesting if they compared it to other whiskeys with this mashbill, like Smoke Wagon Malted Rye or Rossville Union BiB.
