1792 regular small batch is my absolute favorite bourbon. It can be had in Wisconsin all day long for around $22-24. It’s not the most special thing ever but I really enjoy it. Even got a limited run made for Timer’s in Racine that was a 1.75 same style bottle which was very fun to share with friends because of how obnoxious it looked. Love your ridiculous reviews guys!
I'll be there outlier here and say I enjoy the Full Proof. Definitely sipping whiskey and strong, but the subtleties come out after the first few sips. And you can run your lawn mower on it which is handy :).
Finals are over so finally able to binge watch all of the episodes I missed. I normally do this with a nice whiskey, but unfortunately I poured my last glass a few days ago. I suppose my roommate's modelo will suffice!
I love the bottled, and Bonded 100 proof old Bardstown! A Willet product! For $22 , and it is very smooth, and very nice taste! And I drink alot of higher end, but this I found to be very good for the price!
1792 small batch is one of the first bourbons I bought, definitely high on my list, haven't tried the full proof yet. Honestly it's because I'm becoming more of a scotch guy myself. I'm in love with glenmorangie 10 right now.
Hey I notice you guys have the regular green label tully's dew back there. I don't get much out of it besides ethanol. very little apple and like fresh fields, but it's so overwhelmed but the alcohol that I can't enjoy it. Is that just me or is that how it should taste? For the price I hope It's just the bottle I got because it's really not bad past the alcohol
It seems like you guys really like lower proof whiskeys because I do disagree with most of your higher proof reviews (including this one). Although I do appreciate your experienced and informed opinions. This particular bourbon just won bourbon of the year and it is about $45.
What do you guys think about dedicating an episode to whiskey from non-traditional whiskey countries (i.e. everything outside of Scotland, Ireland, the US, Canada and Japan)?
The funny thing is that this 1792 Full Proof was Best Kentucky Bourbon at World Whisky Awards 2018. No matter they do make interesting juice. Wonder if their reasonable pricing will rise since the warehouse collapse earlier this year?
John Del Greco the full proof is getting harder and harder to find . I picked up 6 bottles for safe keeping just in case . I really like it for sipping .
Quite random but I see the original Tullamore Dew on the shelf in the back and I’ve noticed y’all have never done a review on the original. That’s a very basing one I’d like to see at some point if at all possible
Just tired this. Totally can see how this has been voted as best whiskey/bourbon. Very full and oily while not being nearly as hot as you'd think for the proof.
If Rex was asking whether there was a Jefferson's Cask Strength, which I think I missed something, there is Ocean Cask Strength. I say we see a review of that soon.
My first thought was, “Maybe it needs water and aeration?” and then Rex added water but never commented on whether or not it helped make the whiskey any more cohesive. Did it help?
Guess you gotta eat lunch somewhere without a "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Shenanigans" rule... I'm sure there are plenty of places that fit the bill around Austin!
The beauty with bourbon and cigars is they naturally pair well. The bourbon rarely ever takes the back seat to a cigar. So if you're a bourbon before cigar guy/gal, you're in luck. I would say it's actually harder to find a bad pairing than it is to find a great pairing (assuming you drink decent bourbon and smoke decent cigars). Think of it as cigars and coffee. Pretty hard to find a bad pairing. Worse case scenario and you do find a bad pairing... take a sip, ride out the finish then puff the cigar, ride that taste out, rinse and repeat.
@@CMHasty028 L'Altier Selection Special and Glen Grant 16 is my favorite pairing. Also, I would try the Punch Elites to try to pair with the Green Spot.
I just had it last night and I agree that the Full Proof is an ass kicker. However, after adding water it opens up remarkably. The vanilla Rex pulls on the nose becomes custardy along with the caramel and cherry. But the finish ends with a phenolic flavor reminding me of a bananas foster. I recommend adding water till you hit that sweet spot and maybe it will reveal itself boYs.
Old vid, I know. But I'm drinking this right now and out the bottle it punches and is just ok. BUT (and I know you may hate this) if you add a touch of water, maybe a tablespoon, it drinks perfect.
You should have a table with X amount of whiskeys and then Daniel pours the one of the episode and Rex has to guess from those. Making it easier for Rex.
True. Rex only gets as close as grain type. It's a malt! It's a bourbon! He just doesn't have the requisite experience to get any closer really. I'm sure he still does way better than I would though. I'd be like, "Hmm... On the nose I'm getting... Whiskey... Right?" I enjoy it, but they pretty much have to be in a flight for me to get any differences. :P Even then I feel like the freaking Mad Hatter. "This one is much muchier. It has more muchness!"
10:30 Did i just tune in into a fashion critique? Joke a side Greetings from Québec,Canada. Keep up the good work. I just started my journey in the Whisky world. Thanks
lmfao!!! I saw that ending coming a mile away and still almost had the possibly life altering experience of blowing Bullet Bourbon out of my nose.. #Self restraint saves lives...
Total Wine store picks are BS. They literally just say "send us a barrel" with no representation to choose a quality product. I've got one at home from a store, I'll revisit it and if I still disagree with you, will send a bottle your way to try side by side. Cheers!
Been seeing that mellow corn in the background for the last week. I will hold firm that if you're mixing, and your cocktail isn't spirit forward (old fashioned, manhattan, etc.), it's stupid to use a $40 bottle if you're at home. Save the Small Batch Barrel Proof 12 year bourb for sipping and slosh some of that ten dollar golden corn swill in your shaker tin.
I've even seen mellow corn get good reviews. Maybe just like how monkey shoulder is marketed for mixing but is praised as a starter whisky, I don't like monkey shoulder though. But yeah, mixing expensive liquor is a waste of money.
The bad Jurassic Park music! I forget what that instrument is... How about flutaphones!? Or something like a Shreds video. :P Edit: It's a melodica! Do that!
Shadowleon70 i have to agree with the fellas on this one. 1792 sb is superior in every way except proof. I often see the full proof for anywhere up to $20 more than the SB.
So I am going to a tasting in my neighborhood today and before I go I felt I had to finally open that bottle of laphroaig 10 that’s been sitting in the back of my bar for a while (so I don’t show up a babe). I had never tried any Islay and I wasn’t sure it would be better than highland park 12 (my go to). After trying it I am an instant fan. The bbq smoke is just alright but wow is there a lot else here to find. I found almonds, woody and earthy notes, dates, a nice spice that doesn’t bother you unless you swish it around and an awesome honey at the end I was very surprised by. Despite all of that I can’t help but feel this is a base model whisky and that there is a long road of Islay ahead of me. Luckily my local liquor store stocks both lore and ardbeg dark cove so I have options ahead. What should I move to next?

Got one today for the first time
yep got a bottle at Woodman's around 30 Bucks (Milwaukee area)
You are more fortunate than you will ever realise. This is also my favourite bourbon but it cast $90- $100 here in Oz
This channel really helped me enjoy different whiskeys..
1792 Full Proof is one of my favorites. 125proof of good bourbon for under $45 in my area....hard to beat.
Just cracked my 1792 Full Proof- like a damn camp fire in my mouth and I loved every minute of it. 49.99
Chris Illinois I don’t get when people say bourbon is Smokey
Just picked up my bottle today & yes it is very alcohol forward, BUT it also has that very smoky campfire taste & I LOVE THAT!!! SOOO GOOD!!
I'll be there outlier here and say I enjoy the Full Proof. Definitely sipping whiskey and strong, but the subtleties come out after the first few sips. And you can run your lawn mower on it which is handy :).
I really liked it too. Every time I went back to it I got a different note, and I loved that. I really thought it was a great whiskey.
Rex and Daniel don’t usually do bourbons anyway (they clearly don’t know what’s good). I think It’s Bourbon Night rated it highly.
Over a years later, here we are. The recommendations were on point this time, recommending a review of a bottle featured in today's video.
Oh that was beautiful lmao. Daniel's question at the end was perfect!
I am with you on the full proof! Love the Single barrel, and the small batch!
Finals are over so finally able to binge watch all of the episodes I missed. I normally do this with a nice whiskey, but unfortunately I poured my last glass a few days ago. I suppose my roommate's modelo will suffice!
Dang. I really like that whiskey. I was trying to give you all a nice one. Perfect full Wettle ceremony.
My favorite cigar with lagavulin 16 is a Don Pepin Garcia original blue, Fantastic cigar and the flavors stand up well with the lagavulin.
Have a store pick of full proof and I think it’s great for $44. Anyone compared store pick to regular full proof?
I got a store pick from Corkdork’s in Nashville. I wish I had bought two. It is sold out. It is one of my current favorites.
I'm a few years late but that was so much fun! I'm enjoying my first bottle of 1792 small batch.
I love the bottled, and Bonded 100 proof old Bardstown! A Willet product! For $22 , and it is very smooth, and very nice taste! And I drink alot of higher end, but this I found to be very good for the price!
1792 small batch is one of the first bourbons I bought, definitely high on my list, haven't tried the full proof yet. Honestly it's because I'm becoming more of a scotch guy myself. I'm in love with glenmorangie 10 right now.
Are you me??
Glenmorangie 10 is super good!!!
Just cracked open the 46 proof stuff. Really flavorfull and good. I think if you proofed up the EW 1783 to 94 it would be a dead ringer.
I enjoy the small batch. I’ve also found that my favorite whiskey to drink is when they are around 45ish%
Wildlife& Whiskey pussy
@@nolenlifts4661 The best whiskey is the whiskey you like to drink, the way you like to drink it. AKA, don't be a dick.
The 1792 is a great bourbon. Priced right and taste is just great. A must buy.
I just got home from the store. 1792 full proof is delish. Surprisingly an easy sipper for 62.5% store pick in Rochester, NY 47 bucks. Not bad
Gurkha Warpig, Punch Signature, and Arturo Fuente 8-5-8 all go very well with Laga 16.
FYI... Rex, you had your shirt on backwards. LOL
I agree totally I tried this I wasn't impressed this was definitely one that I would not repurchase for my own personal benefit

Damn Chad worked his ass off editing this video, here’s to wishing him good fortune in his new endeavours!
V-neck or does Rex have the shirt on backward....
Nicholas Page totally in backwards! Haha
Nicholas Page maybe he tucked the tail in his azzcrack?
V... When have you ever seen a v cut on the back of a men's regular t shirt?
how is top comment not about bourbon?
Gurkha cellar reserve 12yr would go great with green spot and the Esteban Carreras Mr. Brownstone cigar goes great with the lagavulin.
Gotta love the Whiskey Tribe. We smoke whiskeys and drink cigars.
It seems like you guys really like lower proof whiskeys because I do disagree with most of your higher proof reviews (including this one). Although I do appreciate your experienced and informed opinions. This particular bourbon just won bourbon of the year and it is about $45.
I trust the vault over Jim Murray
I personally really enjoyed 1792 full proof and it is definetly my current favorite. Taste is subjective so to each their own.
I need to step my bourbon game up, ive been diving into a lot of scotch since watching the channel but bourbon was my first love.
Same here. I have been spending my whiskey funds on Scotch lately. I need to get back to my babe of Bourbon.
What do you guys think about dedicating an episode to whiskey from non-traditional whiskey countries (i.e. everything outside of Scotland, Ireland, the US, Canada and Japan)?
Yeah, Ecuadorian whiskies would be interesting....
Ahhh, Glamour Shots. I worked at the photo processing lab for 5 years, you would not believe some of the pictures that came through that place.
The funny thing is that this 1792 Full Proof was Best Kentucky Bourbon at World Whisky Awards 2018. No matter they do make interesting juice. Wonder if their reasonable pricing will rise since the warehouse collapse earlier this year?
John Del Greco the full proof is getting harder and harder to find . I picked up 6 bottles for safe keeping just in case . I really like it for sipping .
Just picked up a bottle of Full Proof. Gonna have to stop back there on Feb. because they will have their barrel pick in at that point.

Hey guys... Could you review Oban Little Bay please?
That ending was quite unexpected 😂 💪🏼
My first thought was, “Maybe it needs water and aeration?” and then Rex added water but never commented on whether or not it helped make the whiskey any more cohesive. Did it help?
wut no ice
My experience was, not really. Tamped down the excitement and made it more sweet, but didn’t make it cohesive.
It definitely improves after the bottle breathes for a bit
@@WhiskeyVault Cohesion……
1792 the hulk Hogan of wiskeys. Great video chad
Guess you gotta eat lunch somewhere without a "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Shenanigans" rule... I'm sure there are plenty of places that fit the bill around Austin!
I got a straight up rubbing alcohol note when i nosed it. With a little vanilla.
I like both, to only have to pay $19 more for the full proof over small batch is a great value. Most distillers up the price around double.
So i just had the regular small batch 1792 n it has a flavor i cant pin point but its reminds me of something from when i was younger
I thought whiskey was to be stored in a dark cool area? Those bottles in the sun in all of your videos are still good?
Oh fuck! I’ve got bronchial pneumonia and I can’t stop coughing and laughing at Rex’ finale. Way to go guys, that loosened up my lungs! 👏😂🥃
Found a bottle for $29. Don't know anything about whiskey, seemed like a cool deal for a cool looking bottle.

That moment when Rex realizes he didn’t think his shenanigan through.........Priceless😂
Tatauje Havana VI (Red label) Pair well with the Lagavulin 16. Finding good cigar pairings is my favorite!
What others do you have? Love that Tatuaje!
I really enjoy Cuban Rejects Gordo mixed with Oban 14.
@@CMHasty028 L'Altier Selection Special and Glen Grant 16 is my favorite pairing.
Also, I would try the Punch Elites to try to pair with the Green Spot.
I love Nikka from the barrel paired with Greycliff 30s
Thanks for sharing your pairings! I'm going to pair Laphroaig Lore with Undercrown Dogma right now and will see how it goes.
I just had it last night and I agree that the Full Proof is an ass kicker. However, after adding water it opens up remarkably.

I like putting 1 cube of ice in it.
Dammit, Chad. Where’s the cigar video link?
Just got myself a bottle of the full proof from Fry’s marketplace for $39.99 in my area
Hey guys I’m actually one of 12 master cigar Somms in the would right now and I’d love to help
Guys is there any Canadian whisky you want / need that you can't get? We'd be happy to grab something for you.
I found a nice whiskey cigar pair angels envoy and rocky patel java latte
Thumbed up the moment the HP comparison was made hahaha
Old vid, I know. But I'm drinking this right now and out the bottle it punches and is just ok. BUT (and I know you may hate this) if you add a touch of water, maybe a tablespoon, it drinks perfect.
Yep. That's what I always say. There go the boys phoning it in again. They're on the phone all the time. (Sarcastic button)
I always got a sour finish on the full proof.
What Pick is the full

Y'all took a big chance with the tower reviewing 1792.
It improves as the bottle opens
lmao love the Wettle ceremony!
You guys forgot to put the link for that video up there
That was definitely the funniest episode so far, lol
3 years later $60 @ my local ny store
Very good stuff I enjoy in a glass with a tiny bit of ice
Rex did his best Hulk Hogan Imitation , but forgot to flex.. lol :)
Hahaha. One word, transparency!
excellent
Honestly, I love BrickHouse cigars with just about any whisky. I will say they go with ryes the best however.
I love the single barrel
I agree, the single barrel is by far my favorite.
I think rex ward feeling quite good today?????
The “look dick” comment by Rex is very real. Also way to be committed to the shirt rip, did you manage to find one for the rest of the day?
One of my favorites is 1792
A Mitch Mention should deserve this ceremony every time.
No water test?
I just picked up a store pick of the 1792 (126proof) it was only $39.99 but now I’m bummed cause I’m worry it’s gonna be crap.
Best episode in weeks.

I'll be first one of these days and wish we had that 1792 full proof on cali
Shadowleon70 i have to agree with the fellas on this one. 1792 sb is superior in every way except proof. I often see the full proof for anywhere up to $20 more than the SB.
I do love me some 1792 Sb though
The shirt ripping should be the Full Weddell celebration.
You gotta lick your hands to get that really good flatulent reverb sound ...
The beards make for a difficult seal too. Bad seal means air leakage, means mediocre flappage of the skin.
single barrel 1792 for me, small batch when it's not available
Had to add 2 ice cubes and the strong proof was still coming after me 😧😆😝
Rex your shirt is on backwards
And inside out
And he gives no fucks. It's Rex after all....
Probably mooched the shirt on the way in the building
David Czarnecki The fact it’s on his body is enough for Rex....he could have picked a Borat man thong.
Warning, Full Monty Rex at the end. (Not Really)
Wouldnt be the first time. Remember the waxing episode of Biscuits?

I found almonds, woody and earthy notes, dates, a nice spice that doesn’t bother you unless you swish it around and an awesome honey at the end I was very surprised by. Despite all of that I can’t help but feel this is a base model whisky and that there is a long road of Islay ahead of me. Luckily my local liquor store stocks both lore and ardbeg dark cove so I have options ahead. What should I move to next?
The small batch is the one to drink
