Blue Run is alright... it's not Blanton's Straight or E. H. Taylor Barrel Proof, or even Elijah Craig BP... Barrel Proof is where the flavor is.
Or any of the BT Antique Collection... or Stagg Jr... or anything with heft... it's not hefty
well done list i really enjoyed that
Just ordered the skin stuff. Figure at 39 I should take care of my skin…
My go to is Buffalo Trace but I alternate between so many. To your point I agree the Old Forester is a must have. Very approachable and cost efficient.
Solid list, but you should definitely add Oban Little Bay to the collection. Insane value for a damn near perfect scotch.
My “collection” is usually whiskeys I didn’t like because I drank all the good ones already
I’m with you. I’ve managed to hold on to two bottles of E.H. Taylor small batch. They wink at me whenever I walk by so they may not be long for this world.
I honestly still dont understand how people can just sip a glencairn without slowly starting to take fat slugs and end up drinking 12 ounces
hahahahaha, that does happen. I've been trying to work through the bad ones to free up space.
@@zacharyclarke4240 that’s called alcoholism.
Hahahaha I can feel you! 💯
I don’t think I have ever had a bad bottle of Woodford. That being said, thank you for keeping these lists in the real for those of us on a budget.
Jeremy I could literally watch your videos all the time. Your editing and your b roll shots make your videos fantastic to watch. You are the reason that I got into whiskey and had to go with your beginner bottle of choice Woodford Double Oaked. My entire whiskey collection now have all come based off of your recommendations and I cannot say I have a bottle I do not like. Thank you for the great content, literally from whiskey and cigars, to gear and BBQ I love every video!
he got you into alcohol and degrading you health, whhat a bro
Thanks for the Whiskey insights!! Love how you describe the flavor profiles! Looking forward to building my collection!!
Man the Redbreast 12 cask strength is one of my absolute favorite whiskeys!! That flavor profile is addictive to me!!
Was researching a good whiskey to gift my dad for Christmas and came across your video. Your presentation is impeccable. Thank you so much for being so thorough and giving us a little history while at it…made my choice of Woodford Reserve easier! ❤
Hey Jeremy! Went out to my local (Central Coast, New South Wales, Australia) and bought a bottle of Wild Turkey 101 and I am so glad I did. I am a fan of Rye whiskies and I can really taste the rye notes in this bourbon. It has really made my evening after a long week. Thanks for the recommendations!
Great video! Love your commentary on each of the whiskeys including Blue Run.
Loved the video man keep it up, had to add a few more bottles to the collection after this :). I'm from over in Ireland here and if you are just getting into trying better Irish whiskey another two distilleries which you 100% have to try are Teeling and Glendalough whiskey
Love the Woodford Reserve Double Oaked - flavour bomb at a decent price (about $75ish in Australia, $65 when on special). The Glendronach 15 is great, I've had bottles of most of their core range (including their new peated expression, which is delicious). For me, the 18 year old Glendronach is incredible, it's a significant step up from the 15, highly recommend it! Great video Jeremy, cheers!
She's approachable that's for sure. I good bottle to start on like Buffalo Trace.
Glendronach absolutely fabulous!
@bradmorgan8, where in Australia are you because dab Murphy has it for $86 on special n trying to find it cheap. Lol
@jarrydshokavich1609 yeah that was before they jacked the prices up hahah. I miss the cheap prices now. Lagavulin 16 for $199 dollars... no thanks. 👎
I just bought a bottle of tullamore dew for $50, it tastes like it costs lol, I'm thinking of getting a bottle of Redbreast 12 it's like $109 on special, I'm pissed asbws and Dan aren't bringing in old forester anymore because of import costs and liqure land and first choice don't stock it.
I've never been too keen on bourbon, I tend to lean towards Islay malts for the peatyness. A good all rounder for peated whisky would be Lagavulin 16 and for something with a bit more smoke to it I'd go for Ardbeg Corryvrecken.
Lagavulin 16 is lovely
I do not have as much drinking Scotch, but really enjoyed Laphroaig 10. As far as the list of ones that I am familiar with, I agree on the Bourbons, Rye and Redbreast. The biggest surprise out there is how easily accessible Pikesville is. Great Rye, esp if you do not like the minty flavors of the high ryes.
Great Video! You mentioned how you jump between 1910 and 1920 in the video(I do too) and me and my buddies made a mix of 50% 1910 and 50% 1920 that we appropriately call "1915" and it's absolutely amazing. I recommend everyone try it cause it's a great flavorful sipper, and it slightly brings down the proof if 1920 is a bit high for some people.
Sounds wonderful, trying this tonight!
got it, got it, got it (not the cool new bottle, but yeah), need it (not avail), got it, need it? never heard of them, got it, had it (need to refresh it, 12yo is good too) , got it (like the triple better), got it.
You should try the Arran Bodega Sherry Cask. We have similar likes in Whisk[e]y, I think you'll dig it.
LOVE the channel as well as the list !! Keep up the good work ! been looking for the Blue Run but not to be found in Bama.
Absolutely love your videos Jeremy. Keep up the good work. Best wishes from Scotland 💪
Good list. I have all of the Bourbons. I have a slight preference for 1910 over 1920. I'd probably put up Rare Breed instead of 101, but 101 is definitely great for the price. Russel's Single Barrel is probably my favorite WT label. I LOVE the Jack SBBP, and I think it actually drinks lower proof and easier than other high barrel proofs like ECBP or Stagg Jr.
We have the same palate. Cheers
First of all...
I want to humbly thank you, not just for all the vlogs, but for the education that you share, I'm thankful that I subscribed to your channel. cigars, whiskey, gear.. what more can a person ask for. I'm not just speaking for myself, I'm sure that others on your channel feel the same. All we ask is that you continue to produce awesome work. Thank you for the vlog. I have to come to Florida one day to smoke a stick and drink a drink. We all appreciate you, sir.
Appreciate the kind words my friend! Always great to hear my man. Glad you enjoy the content. 😉👊🏻
I´m new to your channel, you popped up while browsing the web and my whisky in the other hand, felt like coming home. Happy new year!
Great list brother! I have all the bourbons you mentioned except for the WR double oak. I can not keep that one on my shelf for more than 3 days, Delicious! Lol. I also need to get my scotch on, great recommendations.
Keep’em coming Cheers 🥃
If you're a fan of sherry cask finished whiskeys, I have to recommend Wyoming Whiskey Double Cask. The bourbon and sherry notes swirl together in an amazing combination of flavors that has made it one of my favorites.
For me its Bushmills Black Bush. But then again I'm Irish so I don't get all the fuss over bourbon lol
Wild Turkey 101 is my go-to for cocktails for the exact reasons you stated. Great bang for the buck.
I really enjoy 101 in a hot toddy if ya ever wanna give that a try. I just do 101 with earl grey honey little cinnamon and nutmeg.
Thank you for this list! Going to start with these 10 and build. Really happy to see Pikesville included; that stuff is amazing!.
Really good info on the lineup brotha gotta keep some of those in mind next time I’m gonna purchase 🖤 the Woodford Double Oak for sure can’t go wrong with it 💯
I can often get Woodford Reserve for very good prices over here in the UK. I always thought it was a great neat bourbon, but I'm not a bourbon expert. However, I'm very fortunate, great Scotch is pretty affordable where I am. I have a particular weakness for good Japanese whiskey though, it occupies a third space between bourbons and scotch, in my inexpert opinion.
The Balveine Double-wood is my all-time favorite. Talisker Storm is another that has tickled my fancy as of well.
Storm is perfect
Just got myself a bottle of Woodford Reserve today (sadly couldn’t get my hands on the double oaked one) and I gotta say thank you for showing us because I can totally understand why you like it that much. Really appreciate it.
This one is a Masterclass for all youtubers and content creators . Beautiful, interesting and entertaining. I watched it several times and I never get tired of it!
I love your editing, man. One of the few channels i take some editing inspiration from. I sometimes feature some whiskeys on my channel and i outta start doing those cool little features you do. Classy stuff, mate.
Appreciate that brotha!
This is a great list. They're all accessible and all very good, although I haven't tried a whole lot of Macallen, so I can't really comment on the Macallen 15. I was thinking about trying a bottle of the 15 ironically enough though. The rest of the list I definitely vouch for, and I'd probably add Wild Turkey Rare Breed, Four Roses Single Barrel, and Knob Creek 12 as well.
Rare breed is too good
Rare breed should be on the list
Rare Breed is excellent! I have tried Macallen 12 Double Cask and just can't get behind it. Also I have found that Knob Creek 9 is not a great sipping whiskey for me but it works really well in an Old Fashioned. I think I have found that I do not like over sherried/long finished whiskeys just a touch of finishing... a kiss of finishing is more to my liking. A ton of people really dig Macallen. Some sherry finish stuff gets a little nail polishy/acetone/fake sweetener aftertaste which is not pleasant for me.
@@ShaneTheGeek Hi. I too own WT Rare Breed but so far it has been a bit too hot for me. do you water it down a little or does it just take a little bit to get used to?
@@derfeiiind505 I do not add water to my glass and drink exclusively through Glencairns. I tend to sip gingerly and breathe outwards from my mouth once or twice to cool the whisky before letting it go down the hatch. Afterwards breathing in through the nose then exhaling out. It could simply be a really heavy cinnamon note to your specific bottle but do give it a try drinking more slowly and breathing deliberately using a Glencairn glass. Let me know if this method helps... Cheers!!!
Your production is top notch, +10 points for the good lighting and composition. Rocked it!
Great video mate,always look forward to them all,really looking forward to your leaf and barrell 🥃💨
I agree with this list wholeheartedly. I would add Elijah Craig barrel proof, Knob Creek Single Barrel, Makers 46 for a budget choice
Agreed. Knob Single 9 is a great bourbon at its price point. Nothing super unique flavor wise but just a very nice, smooth bourbon with all of the classic attributes.
Double Oaked was my 2nd bottle, pretty strong for a beginner but the more I drank it the more I loved it. I would add Elijah Craig small batch and four roses single barrel to that list. Pretty easy to find as well, at least in California.
Elijah Craig small batch was my first bourbon and i absolutely love it.
Yo this video is super dope! 🔥 the music, the edit of showing the bottle, whiskey room. Got a new subscriber bro 💪🏾
Great video, thank you for the recommendations. I will be grabbing one these bottles next time I head to my in-laws place so my father-in-law and I can tray something new. I wish your daughter a speedy recovery.
I tried my first rye the other night. And I've gotta say, Wild Turkey Rye goes great with low & slow BBQ. It's definitely on the shopping list now
😋
If you liked WT rye you should try Bulleit rye at this price point, and eventually a Michters straight rye. Bullet rye is my go to rye.
I have to say that my favorite Single-Malt Scotch has to be Glenmorangie 12. Granted, it's not high ABV, nor does it have "Unique Charecteristics". But it's delicious, it drinks smooth, and it's not all that expensive.
Agree!! Glenfeddich is another awesome one.
Indeed. Glenmorangie has a wide range of different ones, & would represent the other side of the spectrum of single malt scotch as opposed to the islays. Glendronach's are O.K., MacAllans are overpriced.
And John Powers Three Swallows are the irish equivalent to wild Turkey 101 bourbon. Character & style, whereas most irish whiskey don't have either.
Newly subscribed, great content and the list was awesome! Definitely going to try my luck on finding the Blue Run
Co-sign this list. Awesome to see level headed talk about the 105-115 proof range (that’s our happy medium too). As two Turkey heads and Tennessee residences, it’s always nice to see Russell’s Reserve and Jack Daniels Barrel Proof single barrels getting some love. Two of our favorites. Great video man. Cheers!
Agree with almost every pick with the exception of Macallan (disappointing palate) and Ardbeg. Everyone has their particular Islay. Laphroaig is my jam. Good list overall. Be sure to pick up a Glendronach before they are all chill filtered.
Russell's Reserve Single Barrel has become my favorite cigar pairing bourbon. It holds up well to most any cigar out there, even my beloved RoMa Craft Neanderthal. Tasty, tasty stuff.
With a cigar, really!? Now I want to find this Russell for sure! Hopefully not to hard to find around here. Thanks Patrick 💨
It’s a great bottle! 😉👍🏻
@@JeremySiers but hopefully I can find it 🙏🏼
Just found the channel, seems like quality content and quality production. Plus this list is good enough for me to stick around!
The video quality and production quality is wonderful. The warm tones are great.
Great concept for a video. Macallan 15 is a pale shade of what it once was. I would recommend Glenfarclas 12 instead or Aberlour if you want to go for sherry influenced whisky that has great flavor. They're both much cheaper than Macallan in addition to being much better.
Or, try the Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban 14 year, with its tasty port finish. Yum! If you willing to squander another twenty bucks beyond the Glenmorangie, snap up a bottle of Auchentoshan Three Wood. You'll get that sherry finish.
At least I got two on my shelf, the Woodford and the Ardbeg! Love both of them. Greetings from Germany.
Ich bin mehr der Jack Daniels-Typ, auch Blantons Bourbon seit Kurzem.
Solid list. Good variety of flavor profiles and prices. Some of my personal favorites in here, too. 👍
Great list and not just because I have several of these! I didn’t know the double oaked had store picks. I’ll have to look for those.
Absolutely love the Russell's reserve single barrel. Glendronach 15 is delicious. I prefer old forester 1897. I think a whiskey that is under the radar and very underrated is Evan williams single barrel. It's 30 bucks and has amazing flavors.
The EW Single Barrel is 86 proof and the finest of the EW line. Was visiting a Binny's in Chicago and a display had store picks which included the EW Single Barrel and decided to give it a try. I must agree with you - it is amazing especially at that price point.
Evan Williams is definitely looked over more than it should. It's definitely one of favorite, negotiably priced whiskeys. If you haven't tried it, I would highly recommend the EW Bottle in Bond. Dynamite taste, smooth drink thats is a great price for a whiskey that's 100 proof
Just got a EW SB two days ago for $28. Was absolutely blown away by the flavor and price!!
1897 very good...1920 my fav...🤔1920 & 1897 could be a banger!
The Glendronach 15 and Ardbeg Uigeadail are my thing, they're exceptional. The Arran Sherry cask is also amazing and a bit like Glendronach 15. I haven't tried the others, will give some a try.
Great video. Really enjoyed it and you had one of my favorites right off the bat. Woodford Doubled Oak is always on my shelf. I have an open and unopened right now.
Great dessert pour for sure. Taste like straight up toasted marshmallows. Always keep 1 in inventory
@2:30 Woodford Reserve Double Oaked....my favorite. Always have a bottle of that around my house.
I laughed when I saw the Blue Run on the table. Your suggestions were good.
For anyone watching this, keep in mind the Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Prood is HIGH ABV. Takes some getting used to.
I think the only one I disagree with is Macallan 15 but to put 9/10 that I agree totally with is a heck of a thing. Nicely done Jeremy
Ya I prefer the regular JD single barrel to the barrel proof. To me, barrel proofs are like IPAs, in that whiskey / beer snobs love them but the average person doesn’t.
😜 I knew I’d get a couple folks with that Blue run.
I did a tour at Jack Daniels, this is the bottle I ended up buying after the tour and walking out with. it was rough but it tasted so good
For a beginners list (trying to keep on budget) i may add…. Dun Bheagan small batch, Monkey Shoulder, Sexton, Jameson Black Barrel, Basil Hayden and if you like the Smokey punch in the face of Islay’s, Laphroig quarter cast (nice deep smoke without the high price of a Lagavulin 16). They’re all relatively inexpensive and have the classic flavours for the regions.
You introduced me to Michter's American Whisky a couple years ago in another video. You've earned my trust on all things whisky for that alone.
thanks for this list. this tells me i need to get out of comfort zone and try other whiskeys. i normally stick with my routine Crown royal and Jack daniel. After watching this video i realize there are a lot that im missing out on.
If the Redbreast is a go to for you and regular Jameson isn't then you're probably a fan of the traditional single pot still style. All of the 'Spot' range is excellent especially the yellow (for me), and the Powers Johns Lane 12 is the best value in Irish whiskey in my humble opinion. The Redbreast Lustau is a great dram as well, cheers Jeremy!
Oh man...the Spot series is incredible. I just found Red Spot 15 yr. to complete my collection. It wasn't cheap at around $115, but its amazing. I bought the last 2 bottles they had. I'll have to look up the Powers Johns Lane 12. Never heard of it. And yeah...everything Redbreast is top notch.
I dig that version of "Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City". Tennessee Whiskey, like the Jack Daniels you showed, does fall under the definition of Bourbon. You definitely have some key staples of Bourbon selections. I'm not as familiar with the Scotch. So, thanks for the advice there.
The reason Tennessee whiskey is often classified different from bourbon is that they use what's called the Lincoln County Process, which essentially means its charcoal filtered. Also since bourbon is commonly associated with Kentucky, although it can be made anywhere in the USA, there may be some border rivalry going on there lol.
I love the rustic setting for the video. The old style incandescent lighting really adds to the classic atmosphere.
Happy to see you posting videos again... especially videos that are spot on.
Speaking of Irish whiskey: Green Spot. One of my favorites
Not bad. But ever since redbreast 15 I can’t drink green spot that much anymore
This video was awesome Jermy. Your editing skills are seriously on point. Great vid and awesome picks. Well done Father Time 🥃
Nearly my comment verbatim! Cheers, Dave!
I also love this video. I also want to know what music you used when presenting each bottle and background music 🎶. Very classy.
Awesome !!! Finally saw a top I can find her in Airazona. I think you nailed it with those picks. Thxs. Can’t wait to see ya on Cigars Daily.
Thanx man, I am just breaking into the wonderful world of whiskey … but far from a pro like you! I’ll add these to my long list !! Your my hero bro!
Really enjoyed the video, for those who also want something similar to Macallan but slightly more affordable (because not all of us can pay that price all the time) Suntory makes a bottle of Toki it’s similar enough in taste but about half the price in most places. It’s good, but if you have the money go for the Macallan
Toki is a nice drop but folks should know is a blend. A good blend though!
I like this list! The only whiskey not included that I would consider a "must" is Maker's 46. It's the perfect combo of price and quality for a wheated bourbon.
Great content. I was looking at making some shelving similar to yours, where did you get your piping and wall mounts?
Tried the Ardbeg because of this video (only found the 10). Oh. My. God. Where has this been all my life. Love it! Thanks man 🤜🏼
That Jack is off the hook. I've got everything on this list except the Blue Run 😅
Youre on my list brian
The only bottles on this list in my collection are: Woodford Double Oak, Wild Turkey 101, and Ardbeg. Eagle Rare is another of my Go-To whiskeys, which depending on where you are in the country is always in stock, or more elusive. Solid list though.
ER is so good for ~$30 a bottle. Very hard to find in SoCal...but I've been able to find it and make sure I have a bottle or 2 in reserves.
Eagle Rare is very easy to find here in Australia. But it’s 90 AUD a bottle. Which is approx 66 USD
@@jonathanwilliams1974 yup…. Some small store charge up to $70 for an ER
@@jayjackson85 Ouch!
Eagle Rare is my go to whiskey. I go through a few bottles of it a year and at $37.99 at my local shop it's a steal.
My man Jeremy with another 🔥video. I am definitely subscribing to your Patreon i will definitely like to try that WF Double oak pick
great video and so insightful, i am a jack Daniels guy an finding new ways to enjoy it ,tried it as alcohol mist balloon shot and wow enjoyed it , thanks for the video
No Elijah Craig? Great video as always. Love the music too. What is that tune?
I was going to mention the same, but it's pretty bourbon heavy already.
Elijah Craig is elliiittttteeeee! Haha
Woodford Reserve Double Oaked is so so good. I love on the rocks or in a Gold Rush.
It’s been my go to Bourbon for a while. So good.
Dude I don't know what it is about you but, I could listen to you talk about whiskeys all night! Just subscribed!!
Glendronach is by far my favorite whisky label, I'm glad u included it in the video. Cheers!
I am slowly changing my pallet towards Irish whiskey. It’s just amazing so far with Redbreast and my go to Glendalough 13. 🤤 in my opinion of course.
Green spot is amazing
@@jskypercussion oh yeah!? Which one?
@@EscobarStyle from Spot whiskey there are only 4 I know of. Yellow Spot, Blue Spot, Red Spot and Green Spot. They are all excellent, but definitely Greenspot is my favorite. It is affordable, easily accessible and those green apple notes are unsurpassed. It is smooth and so rich in flavor. You will absolutely love it. Some of the best from Ireland.
@@jskypercussion now I will be in the hunt for it! Great details you provided 🙏🏼. It’s 10pm here and you’re making me want to pour a glass 🥃 haha
@@EscobarStyle Lol I am working nights right now and want a dram real bad myself.
The most I've ever seen Wild Turkey 101 go for in my neck of the woods (Kansas City) is $22. And the last couple of bottles I bought, it's been under $19. As you can imagine, it's my daily drinker. It's too good and too cheap not to consume like water.
The Uigeadail is the most expensive whiskey in my collection. And... it's my favorite. I drink it sparingly, because I dread not having any left. It is magic!
Uigeadail is in my top 3 all time whiskies...so good I named my dog after it!
First time watching your show and Love it... so I just start my own collection and found an amazing Single Malt,, Macalla Lumina. hard to find only at International Flights. But I do have few bottles of this scotch maker and they are just wonderful.
Good list! You gave me a few to try and listed some of my favorites (Old Forester and Woodford).
What are your thoughts on buffalo trace? I hear great things about it but not available here in Alabama.
Turkey. Boom. Done.
I think you misspelled that first part. It’s spelled Woodford Double Oaked
Gobble fucking gobble baby! 101 will always be my go to!
Rare Breed is a fantastic whiskey from Wild Turkey
@@notyourrealfather rare breed only. Agreed
Anything but longbranch
I live in Scotland and we have so many distilleries here but I just don't like Scottish Whisky. I find it too peaty, too sharp. I'm a real fan of Kentucky Bourbons and Irish Whiskies.
I've had some pretty good Scotches, but I really love good Irish Whisky. Anything Redbreast or any of the "Spot" whiskies. I have the whole Spot collection now and they're all excellent. If you can find the Red Spot 15 yr...buy it.
Islay’s are so much more complex. They are the best spirits ever put on this earth.
That being said. The best whiskey is the one you like to drink the way you like to drink it. Have you tried Spaysides? Much more friendly. Very fruity.
@@skuzzy8u I'll add it to the list. And yeah I like Islays. Just getting into Scotch a bit. I do have The Classic Laddie by Bruichladdich on my shelf and really enjoy that one, but I tried Port Charlotte and actually like that one more. Can't recall which one that was though.
@@skuzzy8u I have tried Speyside whisky's as well but still I'm not fond of Scottish whisky (not spelled whiskey). I much more prefer a Wild Turkey, Woodford Reserve, Bulleit etc. I don't have expensive taste buds though.🙂
Try Balvenie 12 doublewood then. Bourbon is ok but you can’t compare it with scotch. The variety scotch has doesn’t exist in bourbon. The complexity scotch has doesn’t exist in bourbon either. Drinking scotch is taking a trip of flavors. It changes from one sip to the next one. It’s an experience. No other spirit in the world offers you that.
I love Michters Bourbon so good and expensive af here in Australia but well worth it. Cheers for the video, great work man!
Never had russels reserve sb. Only had the 10 year which I think is amazing. OF1920 is my favorite bourbon though, and I’ve only been into bourbon since this year.
Macallan makes you pay for that "luxury" feeling, they have great marketing. But you definitely pay more than you should for the quality given their name.
My fav so far is Jack Daniels but the one it all started with was my grandpa's fav Chivas Regal. Any thoughts on Chivas?
I like how you compared Ardbeg to Pantera, did the same analogy when explained the whisky to my wife lol.
Anyway, great video!
Love your video's, you got me into drinking Islay single malts..... Ardbeg, Lagavulin and Laphroaig are costing me a fortune.
You honestly can't go wrong with a bottle of Jack. My all time favs in order of admiration:
1. Single Barrel
2. Gentleman Jack
3. Old no.7
Glendronach is the sherry bomb that Macallan should be. Fantastic whisky. Shame they've started chill filtering more recently though.
Awesome list of whiskeys. Just getting started and I like the way you explain it to a starter like me. A man's man list. Thanks!
I have always been a Scotch man, but respect a nice Bourbon, that being said I had Woodford Reserve on Alaska Airlines and fell in love!! Im not sure what flavor though, so i will have to try them all. Thanks for the video!
Btw I'm watching this at 9am and now I wanna pour out my coffee and make a neat whiskey!
It’s 5 o’clock somewhere 😜
My go to islay is lagavulin 16. Glad I have some new bottles to look out for!
I like your 10-to-have whisky 🥃. I need to add some of the bourbons picks to my collection. Talisker, Scapa and JW Platinum would go into my lost replacing Wild Turkey, Ardberg and JD.
Just tried the Russel reserve for the first time man that stuff is good. It is a bit warm but i can definitely taste more of the notes than I can from some of the lower proofs
Great Channel 👍 I’ve learnt a lot watching many off your content … Have you done one on just cigars? Ie content just like Top ten , how to smoke, and what are your advises ?? The cutting was very informative- thank you stunning Room btw look forward to more current content soon
I was watching Kurt over on SLB Drinks and his special occasion only, slow sipping whiskey he owns is the Redbreast 27 Yr. Old. And he said that ANY Redbreast pours at any price point is a must have. The 27 Yr Old is going from $500 to $700 depending on availability and where you find it, so I was not surprised at all that you grabbed a bottle when you went to the Europe offerings. Liked and subbed.
Definitely was unaware of a few options you mentioned in this video. Good content, keep it up!
