Vodka has a more neutral flavour that mixes well into most cocktails, and that's probably why so many flavoured varieties of it exist. Rum definitely has a distinctive sweetness and flavour that's only amplified if you're using a spiced rum. They both have their own applications.
Are there bourbons with no rye nor wheat? Is 100% corn bourbon a thing? What about other grains - can I find bourbons made with spelt, oats, sorghum, millet or quinoa?
Corn Whiskey is separate legal classification consisting of a minimum 80% corn best example of that is George Dickel Tennessee Whisky As far other grains go Koval distillery is the only distillery makes or made a 100% Oat Whiskey And a 4 Grain Millet Bourbon Jim Beam had a collection a while back were each bottle in the series contained a different secondary grain amongst them were Tricelta?, Oats, and Brown Rice
@@gothabilly5 Corn whiskey also cannot be aged in new, charred barrels, while bourbon must. A high-corn bourbon is a different thing than a corn whiskey. Edit: a 100% corn mash bill would be difficult because you typically need at least some portion of malted barley to break down the starch in your grain into fermentable sugars, hence rye whiskeys made with a 95/5 (rye/malted barley) mash bill.
As long as it says vodka on it, it pretty much tastes the same. If you're mixing, not even a professional could tell between expensive and cheap vodka. They're supposed to taste like nothing.
JD is a different category altogether, Tennessee whiskey is charcoal mellowed and only two Tennessee whiskeys on the market that I know of. I suggest trying Maker's 46, it's a Maker's Mark bourbon with a hint of vanilla from being stored with French oak boards in the barrel. Would suggest finding a friend who drinks Maker's and seeing if they have any or going to a store that offers samples, as I don't think they make it in anything smaller than a 750 but I could be wrong. Could also try regular Maker's, that I know comes in smaller sized bottles.
Jack Daniel's also offers a cinnamon product called Tennessee Fire that basically tastes like slightly better Fireball in my opinion. If you don't like the flavour of Old No. 7 but want to try other varieties from the same brand, Jack Daniel's makes sweeter flavoured varieties, like Tennessee Honey or Apple, and smoother, less harsh ones like Gentleman Jack, Single Barrel and Bonded, but they generally carry a higher price tag than the other ones. If you're looking at other brands, Buffalo Trace is one that I strangely always see people talking about being hard to get in these comments sections, but seems readily available in the UK? It's fairly nice as far as the bourbons I've tried go, I haven't really tried a large selection of bourbons personally, since we have a fairly diversified booze cabinet at home and as such usually stick to a few brands of each individual category.
Just bought my first beer today dis got me through it all the last few days before been going through a lot the last few weeks gg bro glad I found dis channel
That's interesting but do you have any blantons?
Ah yes fireball, my all time favorite bourbon
Isn’t that a Canadian whiskey?
@@tannergrinzel1835 it’s just a cinnamon flavored liqueur
Had to show Old Elk as the example of a wheater because even the liquor sore bros. don’t have Weller 107
They do, which is why you never will
WISDOM...... Thanks Andrew, I learned alot about Bourbon.......
I know the bit about the fireball. It's a joke, but fireball is a liqueur. It's not even actual liquor. I hate fireball
I would get Another cinnamon whiskey than drink that
🔥😂 Fire Ball whiskey is made of 49% cinnamon rolls! 👹
Old grand dad, been a few years since I've seen that, thank you for the memories bro!!
I never tried wheat bourbon before I might have to give it a try
I hate you guys and love you guys
Not a fan of Rye
As a Coloradoan thanks for showing off on of our better brands, Old Elk
Why does the way he says corn makes it sound like a slur
Do a break down of every ingredient!! So interesting
Vodka, or rum? I definitely feel like vodka is more popular but I feel like rum has a lot more potential mixes in flavor.

Koval distillery is the only distillery makes or made a 100% Oat Whiskey
And a 4 Grain Millet Bourbon
Jim Beam had a collection a while back were each bottle in the series contained a different secondary grain amongst them were Tricelta?, Oats, and Brown Rice
Corsair distillery makes a quinoa whiskey

Is Svedka a good vodka?

So if I don't like the default sour mash jd but do like fb what should I try bourbon wise or whiskey wise

Dis lokey make me want to 21 and get some alcohol can’t wait till April 15th leagally alowed to drink
I think it might be dangerous for you to have less braincells than you currently do
Grasshopper is learning well. Since Fireball is Canadain whisky, it's most likely rye (mash bill unknown officially).
