Thanks for showcasing Clinton Liquors in Knoxville. As you were showing their various whiskey offerings I noticed they stocked the Bulleit 12 year Rye. That is a hard to find bottle in the Chattanooga / N Ga area so I drove up Saturday morning and bought a couple from them making sure they knew how I found their store. They were most appreciative of your video and hope more of your followers find their way to visit them.
What a great price for Decadence! Can't wait for EC toasted BP review. I agree with your EC toasted sentiment. Benchmarks taste too young for me. I think Basil Hayden is trash but I'm curious about the 10yr. I'm surprised Decknight hasn't reviewed it yet. Hey Dave, have you had Kentucky Spirit Rye? Pretty good selection over there. Great video, you rock Dave,cheers.
Rule #1 shop at stores, where the owner will drink with you at events. Happy to see Neil growing and will absolutely be visiting for some of my regular bottle needs.
In regards to Hard Truth, on the bourbon side I think their 4 Grain is their best offering currently. As for their rye, I haven’t found a bad one yet. Everything I’ve tried has been really good. I love their Chocolate Malt rye, but much like the NY Yankees, that seems to be a love it or hate it bottle. There is no middle ground. 👍
I also have not had a bad one from them. Man that Mellencamp is amazing! Just heard from a buddy he didn’t like that one. But all palettes are different
Yeah I know. I’ve been to a few up in Cleveland. Oh my dive up I would ask Siri to take me to a liquor store. I’ve learnt as I get close to certain parts of Cleveland. To maybe not bother. But also I have found some good things. Behind the plexiglass 😄
@@HOUSEBOURBON I’ve seen 107 cheaper at Dixie Lee, I’ve seen eht taylor cheaper at prohibition, never seen a coy hill but they have sold for half that in town, did they make a shelf at that price I don’t know.
It's not RR15 in the RR10 for those who are new to what is going on. The camp nelson rickhouses pop out RR13 RR single Rickhouse and RR15...which have different flavor profiles than RR10. The most likely scenario is that it's WT 12 or WT 13 year that they put in there since they are from those rickhouses.
@@HOUSEBOURBON it's better if you are looking for Tennessee whiskey specifically I think. I like George dickel and they have alot of store picks and all the George dickel you can think of.
Don't believe there is infact a Barrel Proof Toasted from EC. They shipped out a decent bit of A124 in the Toasted glass bottles. Heaven Hill recognized the mistake, people have been emailing them laser codes etc. They've done it before with previous batches/ and their Rye too.
Yeah these ones are different they are a Pick at 120+ proof labels up Toasted. I have a bottle waiting for me at home and will pop it on my Live Tuesday.
@@HOUSEBOURBON Wow, sounds awesome! Love the toasted, but bet its way better with some proof. Look forward to the review. Thanks for info, first I've ever seen that one!
Neil is such a great guy. I was so happy to have found his store. Looking forward to him getting into barrel picks. Have no doubt they’ll be bangers.
Definitely I sure it will be a BANGER!! 💥

Yes it’s a great store and Neil and the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks for watching
The benchmark is so good for how cheap and it seems like it opens up like a beast by the time you’re halfway through the bottle.
It certainly is good value
I just picked up a benchmark full proof the other day and am looking forward to cracking it open. For under $30, I heard it can’t be beat!

Hopefully I’m home Tuesday and I’ll do a live to try that EC Toasted BP
@@jonathansantana6239 Amy’s Tahoe is at the Chevy dealer right there when I pick it up I may go get that decadence
I agree on the doc Holliday.
Not to be confused with Ben 😄

You do seem to have a lot of good stores on your side of town. I’m out in the Boonies. 😔
Excellent video Dave! I’ll be looking for that laser code on the Russel’s 10 yr! 🥃
Lasers!!! I’ll do a review in the next live
@@hooknlipsAVL it’s a good one, but unlike Dave I enjoy the RR10. I guess his palette is more refined then mine. 😬
@ I’m not very picky with my bourbon/whiskey. If it’s brown, it’s down! 🥃🤣
@ if it’s brown, drink it down!
Oh shoot EC Toasted Barrel proof? I’ll keep an eye out. Maybe two eyes.
Think I’ll have a live on Tuesday to try it

Bad neighborhoods sometimes work really well too. I haven’t been killed yet lol.

Thanks for snagging that case of CH for me🤣🤣
🫡👍🏼😜
Shit we right there two days ago, should have stopped in
Those allocated prices are not good, he may say he’s selling them less then others in town but he’s not
Where else are they on the shelf for cheaper?
@@HOUSEBOURBON I’ve seen 107 cheaper at Dixie Lee, I’ve seen eht taylor cheaper at prohibition, never seen a coy hill but they have sold for half that in town, did they make a shelf at that price I don’t know.
@ oh I was only looking at the Coy. 😃Yeah Dixie was 149 in a combo of a bottle I didnt want last time
I get lucky on 107 in Murray kY at cellar door

The doc Holliday 10 year is not MGP and is really good, the 7 year MGP stuff is good also
I like the revolver cork.
@@HOUSEBOURBON I agree the bottle is cool
Me too!
I agree more!
God i miss that total wines and liquor in knoxville
I’ve never had any luck at TW in Knox
@@HOUSEBOURBON it's better if you are looking for Tennessee whiskey specifically I think. I like George dickel and they have alot of store picks and all the George dickel you can think of.
Not a big fan of the Dickle
@@HOUSEBOURBON fair enough each to their own
What is your take on 1792?
It’s ok. I’ve had some great Full Proof Picks. and I have a 12Yr I need to get into. So all and all some are ok, but not my favorite
