    Man, Whiskey Business must have received the entire West Tennessee allotment of the Holladay Soft Red Wheat Rickhouse Proof. I need to find an excuse to get up there again and grab another or two or three.

    Great video major. Just got back from my first trip to Kentucky. Was able to get a Stagg Jr batch 18 at a liqour barn for $60 and also scored 2 Hancock's reserve Liqour barn store picks! I'd say that's a successful first time on the trail!

    Hey Major Besides my Buffalo Trace Tater Products I hunt ,, I always try to do store picks when availiable and I also have those shelfers Evan BIB, Heaven Hill BIB, Wild Turkey 101, Early Times BIB and another thing I recently picked is a Bardstown Disco #11 which I am really liking ..... Thanks

    You passed a few bottles that are very good that you really need to try. Michter’s Unblended Whiskey is an amazing value sipper. They scrape out the inside of a bourbon barrel, rechar it and fill it again. It caramelizes the sugars in the barrel again and creates very robust flavor that is absolutely delicious and very slept on.
    The Old Soul Tin Series bottle that you passed in the beginning is a great high proof pour that's dangerously smooth.
    I also don't recommend making an old fashioned with Ancient Age. It's not going to taste like much at all, but it does make a really good shelfer.

    • @MajorXero
      @MajorXero  5 месяцев назад +1

      I usually get old fashioneds when the whiskey is going to be weak or just plain bad. It was the reason Old Fashioneds were invited. Never really thought about Ancient Age as a sipper I may have to revisit it

    • @BondingOverBourbon
      @BondingOverBourbon 5 месяцев назад +1

      @MajorXero it's absolute delicious as a sipper! It's basically just the b line of blanton's at a fraction of the cost.
