There are certain times when someone is clearly made for the job or task they do - and good Sir, you have been clearly destined to be a great speaker and illustrator of words. Like how David Attenborough is to BBC Earth, you are to all things Whisky. I feel naturally compelled to again thank you for your time and efforts in sharing your knowledge and experiences.
I like this one a lot, great value; especially for cocktails. It makes a great Old Fashioned because of the spicy and oaky flavors and the higher ABV (45%)
This is the only bourbon I enjoy drinking straight (so far). It's far less sour than standard Jim Beam and with a noticeably improved flavor and character.
Thank you for this review! I’ve been through 60+ whiskeys, and I’ve been having a difficult time nailing down certain flavors. I love reviews like this because then I can say “so that’s what that is”. I started out with your A-typical bourbons (Makers, Beam, Jameson, etc), then started moving on to more complex stuff. Gotta say out of ALL the whiskeys, it’s a tie between Bookers and Jameson Black Barrel.
Plus it is usually not even the same whiskey. I drank the Chivas Regal 12 from a small plastic bottle and then from a bottle and they were 100% different in taste
I found this bourbon to be a bit gimmicky and unpleasant, with an awkward tannic bite, like boiled wood. Beam Black costs about the same and was more enjoyable.
I don’t think a plastic miniature is the best way to evaluate a bourbon. I found this bourbon surprisingly good for the low/average price. Its a favourite for Halloween 😉
@@groberti No, ask anyone at a distillery, the miniatures for hotel minibars get the rump end of the fill, batches that didn‘t pass QC for the regular fill size bottles. Any chemist will tell you glass is a far superior inert barrier than is plastic which over time will admit more oxygen and let monomers and additives be leached out if it into the whisky, which at 40% alcohol is a good extractive solvent. Glass is effectively inert and can store alcohol without changing it for centuries.
@@RedcoatsReturn Thanks for the info! Interesting to hear that miniatures get the end of it. The miniatures are super expensive anyway if you look at it by the litre. Guess should just buy the full bottle, it can't be that bad :D
Horst can you just upload a video that is basically you saying "DEVILZS SCHUTT!" for 9 hrs? Its frankly amazing. I love it! But seriously, another great informative review. I found this tasted like distilled cadaver pressed through a shopping bag filled with used tea bags and those oak chippings commonly found covered in dog urine and used needles in urban children's play areas. It got me nicely horizontal and made my drive round town much more interesting.
+cgavin1 Hahhaa, oh goodness, very creative description hahaha. I find it tastes more like highly volatile corn mixed with old wooden rocking chairs and then kept in the cellar of a dusty American farm house. It's got a distinctive taste, just maybe not what everyone's looking for haha :)
+cgavin1 are you saying you drove drunk, hats off for your decision making skills. Why come and leave a negative review? You didnt like it right; so why bother? You descibe it as "flavours" that dont even exist, words meant for setting tone in a horror theme.I bet your a paid shill, so who do you work for?
I proposed to my Dad that they should steam the barrel then boil off the alcohol and toss out the water. I was 12 when I thought of that. I was doing chemistry experiments in school working with steam when I had that idea. My Dad laughed at me and told me that the energy expense would not be worth it! Having spent the first 12 years of my 17 years on this earth in Germany I have always been fascinated with the flavors of wines, beers and spirits. Not to get intoxicated rather I enjoy the flavors. I have also proposed to various car companies that with today more precise machining and insulating materials revisiting the Stanley Steamer Idea with a hybrid car that was run on steam might be a good idea. Never heard back from any of them. I could go on but you get the point. If someone my age can think it up then someone else has to have done it before. That does not mean it will catch on or be welcomed. The alcohol industry is one that embraces trendy things regularly compared to other industries!
For the money, when you’re speaking about American whisky, there is this (Devil’s Cut), Four Roses, and Ancient Age. Between the three you have an aggregate that is better than most bourbons nearly twice the price.
I'm a bourbon lover and I've tried Devil's Cut a couple of years ago. I liked it, but wasn't blown away. However, looking at it now with it's bottle design and rock star endorsement, I can't help but feel that I'm too old for it. But I think I will pick up a bottle soon. Thanks for all your videos.
@@TheParallellinial A glue note on the nose may not sound like a positive attribute but strangely, when combined with other sweeter elements found also in JD, candy floss etc., it can be a very nice combination.

You really didnt enjoy that Horst..Did You?? Other reviews your immediate enjoyment is clear. Clear as cloudy piss on this review you dont like Beam. Well mate seeing other beauties you've tasted one wouldnt blame you for being diplomatic. Beam the Thatcher of Bourbon.
1.) Did you really just do a review from an airplane shooter? That's the first time I've ever seen that from a serious whisky reviewer. 2.) It's whisky, not mouthwash. Really don't need to go that far to tell the taste. 3.) In response to the other guys question, all liquor in the US is measured in mL, not ounces. This was the first review I've seen of yours so I'm judging off of this. You seem like you know whisky, but have to say not sure I'll watch anymore of your videos.
Im sporadicly watching this video just to hear Horst say devils cut! I love it!
Yaah
Omg me too over and over
He teaches me so much and I love his voice

Try out Buffalo Trace, Wild Turkey 101 or Four Roses Small Batch
@@groberti Yeah, I only drink those. They are also non-GMO.
Love it or hate it, its got the best name.
Dude I hope when I'm as old as you I'm able to live like you hahaha you've got it made .
We call it swish here in Canada, adding water to a empty cask and slowly rolling the cask

why drink out of the plastic one though? I find plastic leeches into any drink, more so solvents such as ethyl alcohol however.
Plus it is usually not even the same whiskey. I drank the Chivas Regal 12 from a small plastic bottle and then from a bottle and they were 100% different in taste

Couldn't plastic bottling be affecting the taste of the whiskey? Regards
Absolutely. I wish they would stop cheaping out and just open an actual bottle. You don’t see Ralfy doing this. Or anyone else I can think of.
i tried this last weekend, i got a hint of vanilla out of it

Couldn't even bring himself to take another sip... Is this bourbon one to avoid?
It depends. It is a good bourbon, but If you rather like the Scotch then it's not the best whiskey for you.

Should avoid all bourbon. Like he said, it taste like glue. Comes fron the corn starch. The worst sugar of all.

I thought that the whole "devils cut coming out of the barrel" thing was a marketing ploy
I am curious if you have taste Angel's Envy bourbon or rye. Do you plan to do a tasting online? Thanks!
No. I havn't, yet. Unfortunately I think it is not meant for the German market.
Wonder if u could do a review on the Midelton very rare whisky,,,thanks in advance..

Me and jimbeam are from kentucky and we go back to the 80s.
I'm sorry to inform you Hurst but your skip to nosing button seems to be malfunctioning
Kirk Luebbe thanks. I fixed it
BL
Sometimes the barrels age out and are nearly empty, that’s when the angels like the whiskey and are thirsty.
6:04 is when the video starts.
Why does he swish in the mouth?
In order for all his taste buds (senses) to receive the flavours of the whiskey.
looks a bit overdone lol
He was trying not to puke when he swallowed. Lmao
2:49 says it all
this is a one sipper no finish rating from Horst which is not good
Ok sipped neat, on ice tastes not so good, still getting used to this
IMO, I consider massive oak taste and bitterness to be a giant step BACKWARDS... Stick with JB BLACK
You really didnt enjoy that Horst..Did You?? Other reviews your immediate enjoyment is clear. Clear as cloudy piss on this review you dont like Beam.
Well mate seeing other beauties you've tasted one wouldnt blame you for being diplomatic. Beam the Thatcher of Bourbon.
That's the Mila Kunis drink 😎
BURBUMM
He did not finish it so not good in my opinion
He tastes so many whiskys if he finishes everyone of them his alcohol consumption would be not healthy
This guy drinks like my girlfriend. I guess It's an English thing.
He's not British... He's German.
Uhhh he sayd wat?
Angels share is the whisky from top most rack of the aging warehouse.
no
no
No
Nope...not even close.
ผมอยากเข้าใจที่คุณพูดแต่ผมฟังไม่ออกครับ 😔
1.) Did you really just do a review from an airplane shooter? That's the first time I've ever seen that from a serious whisky reviewer.
2.) It's whisky, not mouthwash. Really don't need to go that far to tell the taste.
3.) In response to the other guys question, all liquor in the US is measured in mL, not ounces.
This was the first review I've seen of yours so I'm judging off of this. You seem like you know whisky, but have to say not sure I'll watch anymore of your videos.
I tend to agree with the way he tastes it. I see no need to swish it around like that. just let it sit on the tongue. that's all it takes
just be grateful he reviewed the whiskey. Who gives a shit how he tastes it?
@@calebsmithwick5249 LMAO
@@calebsmithwick5249 Would be nice if he wasn't wearing a lapel microphone if there's going to be quite that much mouth noise going on.
