You REALLY Only Need 5 WHISKEYS | Our Favorites Inspired by Reddit & ADHD Whiskey | Video Podcast 11
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2024
- Erin and Josh discuss why you really only ever need five whiskeys and cover their choices for each category.
0:00 -- Intro
1:25 -- The "Current Go-To/Get The Party Started" Whiskey
4:02 -- The "Friday Night Pour/Current Favorite" Whiskey
6:19 -- The "Cheapest Mixer That's Still Decent Whiskey" Whiskey
7:59 -- The "Impress Your Guests/Good Host Whiskey" Whiskey
14:21 -- The "Special Occasion" Whiskey
The idea behind this video concept came from a Reddit post saying no one needs more than five whiskeys at any given point in time. Josh and Erin draw further inspiration from Matt Porter--an all-around amazing human that has one of the absolute best "WhiskeyTube" channels on Planet Earth--and his hilarious follow-up video on the concept (which you can and definitely should watch at • 5 Bottles of Whiskey Y... plus subscribe while you're at it).
In this week's "Other Stuff" segment Josh gets uber-nerdy about wristwatches and one of his favorite newer companies.

When she said 'I'm a rye gal' , my heart melted a little bit. Lol. Us rye people have to stick together. We don't get Willett products here on the east coast of Canada , so when we can get to travel to the mainland again, Willett rye is high on the list. That watch is a beautiful piece btw.
The “not really a rye guy” on the channel is coming around a bit thanks to trying some more variety. He may be joining the rye ranks soon enough. Thanks so much for watching Ron. Cheers!
Y’all got me wanting to dive deep in into whiskey now. Love the channel! Keep up the great work!
Where’s that big hug emoji? Thanks so much Kat! You better believe your invite to come on the channel is coming soon. We can dive deep together!
New subscriber from across the pond. I came for the whisky knowledge but stayed for Erin's smile and Josh's watch collection 😋 big fan of what you guys are doing, keep smashing it!
Thanks so much Tom! Cheers!
Okay I'm all caught up, binge watched all your videos. Enjoyed them all, Thanks
Are you a glutton for punishment, John!? 😂 Jokes aside, we really appreciate you tuning in, and thank you for the kind words too. Cheers!
Always love these 5 whiskies video. Rittenhouse rye has been my go to Manhattan liquor lately. So good and less than $20 around my neighborhood! Your lists are great advice for anyone! You have lucky guests - that's what it's all about! Fellow watch nerd here as well. Monta has nice finishing.
I do love when the mash bill is on the side of the bottle. Totally wish that everyone did that! Couldn't agree more on WT products either. It's got such a distinct and bold flavor profile. Good times 😊🎉 I've got a nice fit bit
😅⌚️🤜
Fit Bits and Apple watches are rad and definitely serve a great purpose, just like Wild Turkey whiskey. 🤙
Love the list and glad they are all mostly affordable. Cheers!
Thanks so much man! We definitely try to keep things relatively down to earth. Available and affordable is our jam!
Really enjoy your channel- kind of in a binge watching mode right now! WT 101 all day, all night. Just the best!
Haha, that's too kind Rob! Thank you so much and we're glad you're enjoying it!
love the change up with the watches !!
Thanks so much Michael! They’re fun!
I could live by only this list forever. What great choices 🥃👍🇺🇸
Not sure if you guys will even see this. Fun to watch this as I'm a farily recent follower and it's neat to see how the channel (and Erin's hair) have evolved. Kinda like this style, maybe just b/c it's different from your current stuff and a little refreshing. Either way, keep up the amazing work and O-H !
Cheers and thanks for watching Duey!
101 is a solid pour as well Josh. I am a big BIB fan. The perfect ABV.
Cheers to that, Mike! Suspect we’ll see continued growth in the bottled-in-bond market from younger distilleries for that very reason. It’s a proof point that’s hard to argue with. Thanks for watching!
My 5: Go to sipper - Knob Creek Single Barrel 120 proof. End of week pour - Jack Daniel's Single Barrel, Barrel Proof. Cheap mixer - OGD 114. Impress your guest - Blanton's. Special occasion - ECBP B520.
This list is better than ours. Wish we had a bunker full of ECBP B520. Cheers ISDP!
@@stuffandwhiskey It’s got some heat for sure! Cheers!
That’s a solid list. Nothing to argue about here
Very helpful video
Thanks Roy! Appreciate you watching man. Cheers! 🥃
Another great video!!! Cheers!
Thanks brother!
I enjoy your channel. I saw Willett 4yr in Kansas for $56, I should have picked it up.
Thanks so much Joe. We really appreciate that!
First time watcher, good show. Guy is smooth and gal is very nice.
Thanks for the kind words and for watching, Robert. Cheers!
I opened last night my firs evet bottle of Bardstown Fusion and it's really good!
Fusion is such a cool concept. We got to taste their distillate straight from the barrel back in May and it got us VERY excited for what’s to come from Bardstown as they continue to blend more and more of their own whiskey into the Fusion line.
Good list. Well done
Thanks so much Grier! Cheers buddy!
New to the channel. Love it.
Searching to see if ya'll have reviewed Angel's Envy Rye but definitely digging every vid I've seen!
Thanks for tuning in and we appreciate you watching! We did cover it a while back on a livestream or video but not in an official capacity. It’s a bottle we don’t reach for often but enjoy a lot when we’re in the mood for something extremely sweet.
Blantons made an appearance in Big Bang Theory too. I shared some with a buddy a few weeks ago that never had Blantons 👍🏽👊🏽
I love these types of videos! I'm glad there are 2 of you because we get more than only 5 on the list. I've never tried the Rittenhouse, E.W., or the B.B.C. Therefore, I could live with the other 5. Cheers guys.
Thanks so much Dave! We love a good list and find them fun to watch and now fun to shoot. Especially since our tastes and preferences differ, it ends up being kind of a 2-for-1 video, and we love a good BOGO! Cheers buddy!
That 101 🔥
Nice to find Fellow Whisk(e)y Tubers out there 😊
Subscribed!
Yeah buddy! Cheers and thanks for watching!
New subscriber here. May want to pick your brain a little in the near future Josh. With your video setup. Really enjoy the content, and having two points of view is always beneficial. 🥃 Cheers
Absolutely, @My Whiskey Journal I'm always happy to help. Shoot us an email at stuffandwhiskey (at) gmail.com. Cheers!
I hope they keep Evan Williams BiB on the bottom shelf. Best value in bourbon.
For as cheap as it is, it's definitely hard to beat. We've added in the new 1783 to our blind sample pool against the bottled-in-bond to see which one is the true value champ. In our local market the new 1783 is $12.99 which is ever better than $17 for the bottled-in-bond. It'll be interesting when it pops up!
Love the combination of whiskey and watches!
In regards to the watch content part of this video, I’m not sure what you mean when you say Monta is the only watch brand to have a fully adjustable bracelet without tools. Rolex glidelock, IWC Big Pilot 43, Omega SMP, Tudor Pelagos, Christopher Ward, Zelos, etc. all have tool-less micro adjustment functionality in their clasps.
I do agree Monta offers an incredible value proposition and you are not compromising on any specs or quality of fit & finish when purchasing a Monta watch. Brand recognition is the one thing they don’t have which could be a big deal to some people when deciding to spend money on a luxury item. Also, specifically for a GMT watch- getting a jumping local hour “true” GMT movement instead of an office GMT is something that differentiates Rolex/Tudor/Omega from Monta.
Thanks for tuning in, Dan! The Monta comment regarding their adjustable clasp was in reference to their entire product line having that feature. While many companies do have an adjustable clasp on some models, no other company (at least at the time of this filming) had an adjustable clasp on *every* model they offered (at least to our knowledge, correct us if we're wrong). Great points on the local jumping hour as well, even if we are more fans of the jumping GMT hand and quickset date of the ETA/Sellita GMTs. Cheers and thanks again for watching!
@@stuffandwhiskey Ah I see your point now, thanks for the reply. And agreed, GMT movement type comes down to personal preference and one is not inherently better than the other especially when offered at near chronometer level accuracy!
Love the show
Thanks so much for watching, Rob. Cheers!
So in addition to whiskey, you’re also photographers and Josh is a watch nerd? I think I’ve found my channel.
Love the bottle choices too. Willet rye, Evan Williams BiB, and Sam Houston 14 are some of my current favs. I’ll be buying Rittenhouse rye next thanks to Erin. 👍🏼
Leo! My man! Glad to have you on board. There will be watch and photo content from time to time for sure. It’s who we are. We appreciate you watching!
- Josh
Evan Williams Bib and Old Grand Dad are about the best two cheaper bottles available on the market for sure.
Sammy H is yum in a bottle. I have the TN-01 SH14 and the TN-02 SH15. Both are oaky goodness.
YESSIR! TN-02 batch with that long lingering oaky finish is so good. One of our favorites!
Awesome
Thanks so much for watching Mario!
Look at us😂😂😂! Look at the camera!:
You looking to each other....
Love Forever ❤❤
Benchmark FP
Balcones Brimstone/Peated Single Malt
Jack Daniels SBBP
Sagamore Double Oaked Rye
Yamazaki 12
Downside of this list is I don't have anything of a Standard profile. I might switch out the Benchmark FP for a Henry McKenna 10 or a KC SiB 120 proof and the JD for the Lucky Seven Hold Out 14.
Just found you guys, very cool list. totally get Ritten House - See below...
Both Bourbon and Scotch
Daily: Four Roses Small Batch/Bunnahabhain 12
Friday Night: Ole Grandad 114/Lagavulin 16
Cheap Mixer: RittenHouse Rye/Monkey Shoulder
Impress Guests: Jeffersons Reserve Cab Finish/Orphan Barrel Muckety Muck
Special Occasions: Mid Winter Nights Dram/Glenfiddich 21
Cheers from Montana...
Love that list John! We’re big fans of all those American whiskeys except for the Jefferson’s (but only because we’ve never had it before). Monkey Shoulder is the only one we’ve tried on the other side but it’s decent enough to sip neat for sure, and definitely great for mixing. Cheers!
Noooo ! One had to SETTLE with only 5, but need 100 (( btw, great vid !))
Haha thanks Timothy! Appreciate you watching!
Would you look at that, that one person is back at it with the video dislike! Awesome video and love the discovery series.
Haha, that they are. It’s okay. We love them too and just want to know who hurt them and how we can help!
$2K for the Monta seems a little steep. Just picked up a Mido Ocean Star cal 80 for just over $600 from a dealer in Miami.
Wish I could get a Bardstown muled to Ontario. Great lineup.
Josh here. Mido makes great stuff to be sure! That said, Monta’s fit and finish is truly a cut above. Long story but I was actually a big skeptic of theirs until I handled one in person. It’s hard to wrap your head around without seeing one in the metal. Montas are worth every penny of their asking price (at least in my book). You’ve got an absolutely awesome watch in that Ocean Star though. I’m a big fan of those as well!
Need.
I’m on my second Tag Heuer watch. I’ve had it eight years. My wife bought it for me for our 20th wedding anniversary.
Josh here. Tag was the brand that really got my attention some 20 years ago. They make great watches to be sure!
I’ve always wanted a Tag Monaco but I’ve had my Submariner since 1980 and it legendary on my wrist. Cheers to our hosts, total enjoyable to drink with.
You should be getting the WT101 in the 1.75 liter. An even better bargain!
GREAT point! If we didn’t have storage cabinet size limitations we would. Cheers and thanks for watching!
You know you’re whiskey people when you say that you only need 5 bottles but have 8 on the table. It’s too hard to narrow down!
Man that got a good belly laugh because it’s true! 😂 Cheers Jonathan!
I'm Team Erin.
Erin: 'I like Blanton's.'
I'm Team Josh.
JK, like others have said, Blanton's is great at its MSRP and the store picks are especially good, but it does get overhyped for what it is. I only tater for Weller.
Love from Mumbai
Thanks so much for tuning in!
I honestly don't get Rittenhouse. Then again, I'm all over the place with Heaven Hill to begin with. My list changes somewhat regularly, but right now:
Daily: Elijah Craig Small Batch
Friday Night: Knob Creek Single Barrel
Cheap Mixer: Jim Beam Black or Evan Williams Black
Impress Guests: Redbreast
Special Occasions: Wild Turkey Master's Keep
That is a SOLID list Kenneth. Especially love the KC single barrel, Redbreast, and Master’s Keep inclusions. We’re 100% behind all of that though. Cheers and thanks for watching!
BTW, Monta looks nice but Omega is my Jam!
Respect. Big Speedmaster, Seamaster, and Planet Ocean fan and have owned various versions of them all. Long overdue to get back into a Speedy. Started a RUclips channel instead, but one day I’ll have another one!
Since this is 2 years old, I would love to see how your taste buds have changed over the last two years. You should update this to let us know your new "go-to" whiskeys.
Great idea! We'll get another one of these recorded very soon. Thanks for the push!
Looks like a few bottles will have to be replaced soon !! LOL
There are a few that seem to continually be disappearing. Not sure if there’s a slow leak or something… 😉
@@stuffandwhiskey Yeah I have a few of those ! Cheers
@@joannerenzi1030 cheers to you too!
Ive still never been able to find one of those sam houstons
Hipster bottle status: achieved. Jokes aside, they’re pricey so it’s hard to say they’re worth it, *but* for having a nice bottle around, it does fit the bill.
@@stuffandwhiskey ive got a calumet 15 so im good
Rittenhouse was my gateway into rye. I don't know if I could make a list like this...tough!
Rittenhouse is a great gateway rye to be sure. Cheers and thanks so much for watching!
I try to like WT101, but something funky on the finish just stops me from enjoying it. I've been hesitant to try Rare Breed, but I did for the first time last night. I really enjoy the mid-palette cinnamon bomb, but it has the same back end funk that just ruins the experience for me. I did also have Stellum Rye which was freakin delicious. I agree with Josh on Blanton's, there are so many things I like better at that price point, like OF 1910 or OF 1920.
Josh here. As I was reading through your Rare Breed account I couldn’t help but think 1920 would be perfect. I think Rare Breed and 1920 are pound for pound the best bottles available for the money-just depends on which suits your palate better. Interested in your thoughts on that Stellum rye!
@@stuffandwhiskey I've had both the Bourbon and the Rye. I really enjoy them both, especially for the price. The bourbon is very similar to 1920, except it has that great MGP toasted marshmallow flavor I like so much. I'm really not a rye guy, but the Rye is excellent. To me, the spicy ryeness is more in the background and brown sugar is up front and center. The cinnamon doesn't hit as hard as Rare Breed, but it's there. To me, they both drink way more mild than their proof points and both are fairly viscous and very delicious.
@@bo_mccroskey man that rye sounds right in both of our wheelhouses. We’ll keep our eyes peeled as it just released at some stores in our local market.
@@stuffandwhiskey So a few days later, i think maybe the Rare Breed opened up a bit because the finish is sweeter today and less drying / funky. I still prefer the Stellum Rye. It's so delicious to me, but this Rare Breed is growing on me for sure.
@@bo_mccroskey that’s good to hear. Definitely worth trying on different days at different times too. Sometimes some of our favorite pours hit us in a weird way depending on the day.
Watching “Barry” right now and a character got suuuuper bummed out and chugged Blantons from the bottle. Gotta love marketing!
The Buffalo Trace product placement game is strong for sure. Hard to blame folks for thinking it’s amazing when it’s depicted in that context and nearly unattainable by the average consumer.
The Evan Williams is far better than the over hyped 1792 small batch. Good list, but I have not tried Rittenhouse and I haven't spent the time to acquire Blanton's. I certainly am not willing to pay $180 for Blanton's.
Rittenhouse? My #1 favorite as well Erin.
Great minds!? 🥃
The Rittenhouse was only about 23 bucks where I’m located in Texas but I didn’t care too much for it. I enjoy making Zazeracs I didn’t get that flavor that I was looking for. I prefer crown royal 15 yr rye, Zazerac rye or the old grand dad BIB.
Great recommendations right there. Thanks Tragic!
WHISKEY CHEERS
Right back atcha, Jay G! 🥃🥃
So I went with one of Erin’s picks. Because Josh likes 101 over Blanton’s! 😜😜. Just picked up a Rittenhouse Rye BNB. Wow! Delicious! Suddenly I’m a Rye drinker. Lol
That’s awesome to hear James! For as long-standing a staple as it’s been over the years for bartenders, somehow Rittenhouse is still underrated by the whiskey community. Nice score and thanks for watching and trusting us enough to give one of our recommendations a try!
Looks at whiskey cabinet with over 50bottles... hmmm....
This is a judgement-free zone. You do you, boo. 🥃🥃
@@stuffandwhiskey lol 😂 I meant to add more to that comment to be funny… but was accosted by my 4yr old daughter and 1yr old bull terrier lol… between them and my ADHD I’m surprised I sound even remotely coherent in my messages ha!
@@TylersEclectic relatable. 😂 Even as is-short and sweet-it still made us laugh. Mission accomplished!
5? I'm up to about 80 now. Ya, I have a half dozen favorites.
“About 80” is a great number because it could be 100+ and you’d still be correct. Once the number gets big enough there’s no sense counting anymore-just enjoy and share with friends. Cheers Mike!
Good video! But dude, Let the lady talk..
Thanks for watching Chuck!
I don’t know, guys… I usually have one or two, three is pushing it… but FIVE would lead to… consequences.
Haha, you know what, you’ve got a valid point there JJ! 😂
Aaahhh!! Rye….UNSUBSCIBE! UNSUBSCRIBE!!! Wait NM… wild Turkey 101 I’m staying on this channel🤣🤣🙋🏽♂️🥃🥃🥃
Haha! Appreciate you watching. Cheers!
