I was shocked at how much cinnamon was in the glass. I had no idea Amburana tasted like that. I went up to my sister's house after the video and watched the Dodger/D-Back game and I made the old fashioned for her. It was not the best. Depending on the price of the bottles I can see myself picking up either of them. It was nice to get my sister in front of the camera again. Cheers!
Thank you! It was fun to be back. I enjoy spending time with my brother and giving my very inexperienced whiskey review!! 😂 Although, I do edit what comes out of my mouth before it gets spoken aloud!! 😉
Hey what a fabulous video looking at these whiskies! So enjoyable Peter! I have had the Amburana and I really like it but it's bold! I like that a lot and I definitely get cinnamon! It's my first time with Amburana. My first sip of the Amburana was so hot. It was so much better on the second and subsequent tastings!! I do want to try the Tale of Two Islands but I am not a huge fan of a rum finish. I do LOVE peat and smoke! Anything that has even a hint of Malibu rum is something I avoid! I might have a try with a friend who has this expression before buying a bottle! The peat could be a pull for me if it's quite strong in this expression!! Cheers! 🙂
The further away I am from tasting these two bottles the one that sticks in my mind the most was the Tale of Two Islands. It was the more interesting and complex of the two. Amburana is just cinnamon and not much else. So if you are looking for depth of flavor I would seek out the Tale of Two Islands. Cheers!
To heck with other utubers.. you have a great channel. I have another idea for you…. Hit me when I was watching this one. Great vid, your sister is a great addition. Cheers.. I’ll pm you.
That statement came out wrong. I meant most RUclipsrs think they themselves are full of it. I did not mean they think I am full of it. I'll be looking for the pm. Cheers.
Thank you for the kids words. I enjoy doing these videos as long as he doesn’t make me drink anything that is heavy on the peat!! The day that happens, I will stop being a guest on his channel!!! 😂
@@whiskeyisajourney I just found your channel. I really enjoy the way your articulate the notes. I think it’s helped me identify and pull different ones out I hadn’t gotten before. Cheers!
Barrel Spirits put nice products. It's not great, but ok. The only problem is that it's severely overpriced. I prefer different brands in this price range, therefore I stopped buying it.
We had them right. She poured the Tail of Two Island and I poured the Amburana. When I gave her my glass we both had the Amburana on our left and the Tail of Two Island on our right
Love the videos with you and your sister. You guys are fabulous. Cheers!
Thank you! I really enjoy having her on the channel. It adds a different dynamic than just going solo. Cheers!
I haven’t’ got into bourbon yet but enjoyed your video your sister is a natural
She is fun to have sitting next to me. I think we play off one another well.
Great to see you both together again. Amburana reminds me of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I have RD One Amburana Finished and it is Apple Cinnamon. 🥃

It’s been so long, I forgot how much fun it is to do these videos with him. Hopefully we can do another one together again soon. 😊
Great episode!! Liked the two of you togther!
Thanks. It's so much fun having her on the channel. I think she said she wanted to do my top 5 finished bourbons video with me. We will see.
Great video! Great to see Mary Bridgette back on. Really enjoyed she unscripted and unfiltered review! Thanks for sharing.
It's always a good time when she's on the channel. Cheers!

@@whiskeyisajourney Great advice!! Thank you!! 🙂
Nice contrasting options there. Cheers guys🥃
Thanks Al. Hope all is well with you. Cheers!
Nice fun video!
Glad you enjoyed it! She is fun to have on the channel.
Great video review🥃
Thanks! This was fun to do with my sister. Cheers!
The reviews on RD 1 have been good. Maybe a three glass blind?
I see good things about RD 1, but unfortunately it's not distributed in my area. I will be keeping an eye out for it.

@@whiskeyisajourney Haha, oops… ohh well. You still have a great channel.
@@johnk7093 Unscripted and unedited...words come out wrong. Oh well.

I own a bottle and it’s a 10/10
I'm picking up a bottle of each when I see them in my market.
Maryland could be Sagamore or Pikesville
Cool. Pikesville did not cross my mind. Thanks. Cheers!

@@creativetradesman6833 that's great! I'm glad to hear that it's helpful. I appreciate the feedback. Cheers!
I wish my armpits smelled like cinnamon.
😂😂😂
Mine are a mixture of onions, chutney, and burnt hair. 🤢
@@whiskeyisajourney cripes. I wish I was so lucky. Mine smell like armpits. And onion, now that you mention it.
Barrel Spirits put nice products. It's not great, but ok. The only problem is that it's severely overpriced. I prefer different brands in this price range, therefore I stopped buying it.
That's perfectly understandable. They are expensive. Cheers!
The 2 islands are on your right and the 2 islands are on her left you mixed them up
We had them right. She poured the Tail of Two Island and I poured the Amburana. When I gave her my glass we both had the Amburana on our left and the Tail of Two Island on our right
Yes you did it right sorry I had to watch It again
Hii mr fasciano
Hi
The four gate Amburana finish is extremely cinnamon! My least favorite four gate to date! The Japanese wood finished is better
Good to know. We finished off the Amburana last night so I won't be buying the Four Gate to compare.
