- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Jason Chow becomes a Patron Saint of Whiskey for this one - a nice, robust, and damn-near 60% barrel pick from an already artistically done craft bourbon. Cheers all!
I'm the barrel manager at Laws Whiskey House. I have to say I had lots of fun picking the barrel samples we sent to SF Wine Trading Co! BW #1253 will always hold a special place in my heart. Thanks for the kind words, gentlemen! We truly love what we do here at Laws.
Thanks James! You’re awesome!
Talk about "peaty" I just got a bottle of Lagavulin 16 year scotch and now love the heavy peetie flavor. It was $90 in California. Love you guys.
Good price. I got a bottle just before Christmas on sale for 109.99 and that's the cheapest I have ever seen it in my area. It's usually 130-140.
I live near them, they have really fun events and their experiments are a blast to try.
same here. they do some awesome stuff and their facility is fun to tour
Agreed! A whiskey nerd’s temple. The Calvados finished bourbon got me exploring a whole new spirit!
I live close too, but haven't gone by. Probably should do that soon.
Just got the ruby port cask experiential release last night and I’m so excited to try it
We learned, as a combat engineer, use the "punt" with explosives. Cutting the bottle in half and stuffing the bottom with C4, it will create a directional, molten glass slug, and go through virtually anything. Now that I have been flagged by the FBI, ATF and so on... Cheers, you bastards of magnificence.
Absolute madlad! lmao
When I was a super cool Commando, we were taught how to help each other poo when we had diarrhea on patrol 😎
@@AD-kv9kj Ha ha ha. That sounds super cool. LOL
@@AD-kv9kj Runny Bunnies r kewl
Just ordered myself a bottle of this magical juice. These MBs have never steered me wrong.
Check out their website www.SFWTC.com
When Rex shows his "O Face" you know it's good.
Rex: I did not take your knife, this time. Immediately checks pockets.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Laws is near and dear to me, my sister lives in Denver and highly recommended this distillery when I found their stuff in So Cal. I've had the regular four grain, the BIB bourbon and rye, and now have the port cask bourbon, all of them lovely.
I used their rye for making irish cream this past Christmas. Delicious.
I'm not "VibeCheck", but I was the one that spawned their comment. Forget the video now, but between Rex & Daniel, no one could think of what the divot in the bottom of the bottle was called. I responded with the name and "VibeCheck" provided the history and nerdy knowledge.
I bought a bottle of barrel select yesterday. 114 proof. When I opened it, before I even nosed a glass, I got a whiff of vinegar. When I poured it and nosed it I got very little nose. When I tasted it it was hot butterscotch and not much else. So I added some water and I got butterscotch and grass. This was the neck pour so I'm going to leave it be for a while to see if the oxygen changes anything. That being said, it really wasn't unpleasant, but it wasn't the flavor bomb you described a year ago. And yes, I know that each barrel is going to be different. But this one has a sticker that says it was selected by "the owner" so....
Can you guys do some more Glendronach reviews! (Like the "Traditionally Peated" release)
For what it's worth, they did a review of the Glendronach Peated in this video 3 years ago:
ruclips.net/video/i-qHYyP276U/видео.html
I would not be surprised if they have a bottle of the Traditionally Peated in their review backlog.
Regarding a choice for something other that JD, it can also depend on what they like about that particular whiskey. A friend of mine is really into the sweetness of whiskeys, and has always enjoyed JD on the rocks. I have a nice little collection, and I introduced him to angle's envy last year, which he immediately loved. Because there is a sweetness there, he was able to relate that particular dram as being not too dissimilar to what he already enjoys. If you can find out what a person likes about a particular whiskey, it makes things easier on which direction to take them on their journey.
Did you all answer a question about a Christmas gift recommendation on January 8th? Absolute legends.
I’ve never really been a die hard liquor guy, but thanks to this channel I started my whiskey journey this past weekend. I’ve had most of the lower quality whisk(e)ys earlier in my teenage days so I decided to go with ardbeg 10 and laphroaig 10. I couldn’t have been more impressed with the overall unique taste of them both. Definitely worth the price relative to a cheaper whisk(e)y and anyone saying it’s not must be a cigarette smoker and can’t taste shit anyway 🤣😂
Count down till they notice that Emmas been in the vault lolol
Enjoyed the vid, Gent's.
Loved your Buffalo Trace alternate idea for Jack Daniel's. About 10-12 years ago my daughter went to Total Wine looking for a birthday gift for me. At that time I was hardcore Jack Daniel's products only in regards to American Whiskey. My primary choice overall is Highland and Speyside Single Malt's.
Anyway, she wanted to get me something different. After conversing with the store manager; she (yes, the manager was a 'she') recommended Buffalo Trace as an addition to my JD collection.
After opening my gift, I gave her a raised eyebrow. I grabbed 2 glasses and poured one for each of us. After we took a drink, I put my glass down and glared (😉) at her, then gave her a big hug 🤗. That was the first time I'd had Kentucky Bourbon since the mid-80's and enjoyed it 🥃👍.
Also, I wholeheartedly recommend the Jack Daniel's Sinatra Select to anyone looking for a gift for someone special. It's worth the $175-$210 (based on your location).
Still on point Emma.
Sadly, I never see offerings from Laws because those sound great. But I do have a single barrel, store pick, Old Forester from SF Wine Trading Co. So I got that going for me ... ...
I'm so lucky to live near Denver: Laws is my favorite American craft whiskey (that I've tried: I haven't tried Elanor yet)! I'm watching this doing an A B comparison with A.D. Laws 4 grain Bourbon (2yr) sample size bottle, and A.D. Laws bonded 6yr Rye batch #1.
I would recommend gentleman’s jack, single barrel select (prolly not the cask strength) or the senatra select. That’s if he only wants a Jack Daniels Product though.
I cannot believe they were talking about smelling /sticking your nose in a just emptied barrel, and Rex missed the opportunity to call it "nosing the bunghole". You guys are off your game today.
My dad religiously drinks gentleman jack. I introduced him to tulamore dew. He generally only drinks old fashions or whiskey sours and he could handle the irish. He said the jack was a lot harsher
Tullamore DEW is wonderful... I like all their products so far....
So many whiskeys in that room. Yet, only the knives get stolen. Great workers.
"It's like sticking your nose in a freshly emptied barrel" So you're saying it smells like the bunghole?
Re the letter about how to get a "Jack" guy to explore new whiskeys, Jameson got me into other whiskeys. Now (25 years later) I'm into Benriach Curiositas. I was shocked that Daniel and Rex picked other American brands. To me that's like trying to get a Coke guy into Pepsi or RC.
I would say going from jack to bulleit bourbon is a smooth transition as it was for some of my friends or if they are set in their ways maybe like a gentleman jack or single barrel to broaden their jack daniels realm.
Traditionally the deeper the punt, the better quality the wine
Or was that just what wine producer's told people in order to sell less wine per bottle for a higher price?
@@AD-kv9kj Nope, to this day better quality wines have deeper punts. More expensive to produce, therefore your 'Jacobs Creeks' of this world still have shallow punts
I’d recommend him getting the Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof. Great bang for your buck, especially for a Jack Daniels fan. 🥃
This sounded too good to pass up. I splurged and ordered a bottle and can't wait to try it.
How did u find the selected barrell?
Sinatra Select was my first instinct, too.
I come for the review but I stay for the next level special effects.😁
Jack... single barrel select for the win.
Those rings 🤣. Grandma Dan, up in here.
I was waiting for somebody to finally spot those :)
This year for your mixture of whiskeys you review you guys should do separate containers for each category of whisky, one for bourbon, one for scotch, one for Irish......
The most common mistake I see whiskey nerds making when trying to convert more moderate whisky drinkers is going too high with the proof. If someone is used to drinking 80 proof stuff they're probably not going to react very well to anything stronger than the low hundreds.
I visited some friends over Christmas Eve whose favorite whiskey is standard Jack Daniels #7, and I brought a selection of whiskies for them to try. Smoke Wagon Straight Bourbon ended up being the favorite.
I used to be a Jack guy. But, you young'uns have to remember that to old guys like us, brands like Wild Turkey or Old Grandad are bottom shelf whiskeys. So, if you offer Grandad a Wild Turkey, he's going to be l like..."Gee. Thanks." I'd go with the Buffalo Trace, or some other Tennessee whiskey. DonP
Laws makes some good juice. Wish they would distro out in LA. Luckily my brother in law lives in Denver 🥃
SF Wine Trading Co is in my neighborhood.... I think I may actually pick up a bottle
... and bought.
@@tsubakichan lol I picked one up also. Also picked up the Bottled in Bond.
Aint no claws when you're drinkin Laws
I'm a Laws fan and I'm stealing this.
‘...the faults in my head...” - sounds legit.
Nice punt joke on the Fly Rex
Rare Breed, can't fail. However I would suggest Russells Reserve 10yo. A touch softer than
Rare Breed.
Good job guys. Great review.
I converted a Jack Drinker, Gentleman Jack specifically, to a Laphroaig drinker with LORE.
Cheers!
For a minute there I thought Henry & Kenny Law of "Moonshiners" fame had gone legal.
I also knew that about punts. So if you wanna tell people "Mayonnaise Venusaur told me", go right ahead.
Suggests a whiskey for a Christmas gift weeks after the actual day haha
Great review guys! Sooooo.... when are we gonna finish going through quintessential wall?
fifth... 1.75L Whatever
GOOD MORNING YOU MB'S
Me likey my bottle of BIB 6 year. Props from North of Denver 👍
Been waiting on this one for a while
Emma took the knife
Hey guys, what are your opinions on Mortlach 16 and would you consider doing a review of it? Cheers!
If you fight, may you fight for punt!
You guys need to review Leiper's Fork whiskey. They're about a mile down the road from me, but I don't want to spend $80 on a bottle.
Yes, We did a tour of the distillery and even after doing almost every distillery on the Kentucky bourbon trail, while visiting Tennessee, Leiper's Fork was just an absolute pleasure of a distillery to visit. Pops, was the best tour guide, short of Freddie Johnson from Buffalo Trace who was an amazing tour guide. Leiper's Fork bourbon was good, their rye was so amazing, I had to take a bottle home.
HELL YEAH!!! More Laws!
Laphroaig is still on the wall. Thanks Emma! 😂
Damn, Emma is killing it.
When I'm introducing someone to different whiskeys, I try to get them outside their go to drink. Because they always compare it to their standard flavor.
For the Jack Daniel's grandpa, why not try a little Uncle Nearest?
I second the Uncle Nearest.
I'd think michters American whiskey would be an easy conversion and then a slight move into michters bourbon afterwards.
Gentlemen...
Laws 4 Grain got me wondering. When Daniel was giving us a history lesson, he said that Irish whiskey was partially made with (un-malted) barley due to English tax laws at the time. So...
Has there ever been a whisk(e)y made with 100% in-malted barley?
What would that taste like?
Have either of you gentlemen tried it?
How about an Evan Williams single barrel? $30ish (in my area) "fancy" single barrel. But still a sour mash similar to Jack Daniel's
Good Morning Gentlemen.
Right up the NOSEHOLE!
Um, typing and words? Not sure this covers that but it was worth a try.
Hmmm... Is this a Speyside?
Uncle Nearest is my correct answer
I would get him a bottle of Redbreast Lustau. Just go full hard left and give him a great whiskey.
Dan's graphic for the 5 year / 3 year gaff was begging for a cutaway to Monty Python and the Holy Grail. "One! Two! Five!" ... "Three, sir" ... "yes, Three!"
2nd video with lephroig instead of lagavulin jaja
Batch shooting. We'll see if they find it at all.
The Laphroaig is back!
Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof
The barrel proof if you can find it.
How about a George Dickel for Grandpapa?
Here I am drinking mint tea, honey, and jack
1:39 Rex hitting his second puberty there for a moment.
Rex speed ran that cork pop xD
So explain Bottled in Bond please.
Is this bottling available to public. Would be interested in trying
www.sfwtc.com/spirits/A-D-Laws-SFWTC-Proprietary-Barrel-Four-Grain-Bourbon-Cask-Strength-w9603812sd
Yes! Visit us at www.sfwtc.com
Yes, it's available but kinda hard to find. I have tried it and IMO its a fantastic whiskey. Worth the hunt, worth the price.
@@sfwtcofficial1043 how do i go aboutngetting the barrel select from this episode?
Question for Daniel: Are there any distiller/blenders who blend grain and malt new make spirit before maturation rather than or as well as after maturation? For example mixing grain new make from Girvan with a Speyside malt new make before barrelling the blend.
Not typically. But Ive heard of some Canadians that do
I want to do some number video but you gotta cheating to review of Johnnie Walker enjoyed the 5th
Who's the strange, little pirate??
R.e. Jack Daniels segue to something more bourbon-y but user-friendly - Eagle Rare.
Give him a Laphroaig and say Emma recommended it!
KIND BAR!
Just get the man Jack Daniels! haha its a great whiskey anyway. As for the review, love it as always. Ive seen Laws but never picked up a bottle myself. ill have to try it.
Hello you beautiful bastards the Sinatra release would be a good idea I've had the chance to try it, beautiful experience if you like Jack Daniels
I was starting to think that Daniel is going to be making goat noises
I had laws I didn't enjoy being imposed on me.
Why are Jameson and redbreast a Laphroaig apart? Shouldn´t they be next to each other bc they are Irish?
Does anyone know how to get Laws Four Grain Bourbon over here in Europe?
Daniel is Kung fu fighting😉😉😉
Knife + Laphroaig == Emma
Get him some gentlemen jack or Jack daniels single barrel
Nothing wrong with being a bit of a "punt" every now and then 🤣
no one has this for sale in Long Beach CA :(
Hey, for once Daniel wasn't paying attention. Rex read the ABV, and a minute later Daniel made the same proclamation. Almost always the other way around.
It goes both ways
I would say get your grandpa Uncle Nearest for a Jack Daniels alternative.
EMMA !!!!!
Jack Daniels BIB 37.00
