    You both are a large part of the reason I started exploring whiskey. I love finding something new to try that doesn’t break the bank because I’m still trying to develop my palate. I’ll definitely be grabbing a bottle of the small batch to give a shot. #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk

    Jeremy (and Big Al), thank you so much for describing things on a basic level and trying "entry level" bottles. I'm only a beginner in Bourbons and hope to one day start finding those "subtle cloudberries that were grown next to a field of poppies" flavors/aromas😁. You describe things the way we as beginners/average drinker can relate, using terms that the uneducated palate and nose can relate. Been enjoying your channel for a while, just keep doing what you are doing because it is great.

    I just recently tried the Full Proof Benchmark and I really liked it. Shout out to another whiskey-tuber (Whiskey Row) for the recommendation. For the price, it's super amazing! I think I paid $21 bucks for it. Won't be replacing my favorite bourbon under $50 - OGD 114, but it's a great alternative when I can't find OGD. Gonna try the Small Batch next!!

  • @RodneyHenderson357

    My favs are FP and BIB. When I let the FP breathe it gets sweeter and sweeter and nit very hot. Best budget buy out there.

  • @mattlenning3225
    @mattlenning3225 Год назад

    Don’t let price dictate what you like, my go to is Old Grand Dad bonded and it beats out many bourbons that are twice the price. And for the moment still easy to find in Minnesota.

    Great review. Whisky is definitely subjective. I tend towards higher proof bourbons and Americans too, but I absolutely love Irish which tends to be lower proofs. Also, I'm not a scotch (especially Islays) person.

    When I was working for a company that ran tastings for wine and spirits the owner used to say, it you smoke always smoke during tastings because it is what your mouth is used to. It makes a fair playing field for everything you taste.
    The owner used to smoke, when he stopped smoking he had to re-learn everything as his palate completely changed!

    Buffalo Trace has been a favorite of mine for 3 years. Hard to find now; I haven't been able to restock for several months. Since both of y'all chose Small Batch as #1 and Buffalo Trace was Allison's #2 choice, I'll get some Small Batch in the meantime. Love these blind taste tests. Y'all have introduced me to some great whiskeys and it's interesting to know your reactions to some of my favorites.

    Pouring a two or three finger pour of that Full Proof is a great way to enjoy a nice afternoon. It holds up very well against other cask strength bourbons considering it's price point. Never expected to find a cask pour for less than 25 that tastes so smooth and with more than one note.

    Great video as always, Jeremy! Quick question: have you ever considered making a video about your guitars? I hear a lot of blues licks in the background and your intro is very blues influenced so are you the creator of your music? As a musician myself, I spied a Les Paul, a Strat and a maybe even a Fender Bassman amp in your whisky room. I think it would make for a great video(s)!
