@@BourbonBlind Weird thing is that it tastes nothing like what the store had out for people to sample even though it was the exact same blend and barrel ID. Theirs was smooth, fruity almost but mine is super astringent on the nose and taste. Not worth the $60 I paid (after tax)
@@RebeccaPaige You also might want to bring it back to the store and have them taste it and bring it to their attention if it doesn't open up with some air time. It's possible the cork that was used on that bottle was bad, and it made the whiskey sour (not in a good way)
Thanks for keeping it real. The best is the best, regardless of how limited it might be. Old Forester 1910 made quite the impression on me in 2018, as well as a really quirky (& delicious) Bourbon from Adventurous Stills in Chandler Arizona called "Peralta", which comes across as chocolatey and smokey, kind of like the Bourbon cousin to the Balcones Texas Rye.
Thanks! The 1910 really is a nice expression, and it has a great mouth feel and richness for it's relatively low proof. I'll have to check out the Parelta, I'm from Phoenix and miss it out there,like. I try to make it my l back whenever I can
its funny i drink the 1920,the ec barrel proof and the obsv four roses store pick. and right beside these , is old grand dad 114 at 22.99 when i want a strong rye punch.
One of my coworkers' husband received the 2018 GT Stagg for Christmas. He doesn't like bourbon so is just keeping it in his shelf unopened since a gift. Won't sell it to me. Not cool.
Every bourbon you have ever recommended has been fantastic! Great channel. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks JR, glad to have you on board!
Awesome Selection! Thank you!
Absolutely!
Wow. What great enthusiasm! I know your passion personally but it was really great to see that translate into this vid in a big way. Well done!
Thanks Jay! We need to have you back down again soon!
I can’t get Elijah Craig Barrel Proof anywhere in the UK.
That's sad, they are soooo good
Great line up. I really enjoy your videos and can't wait to see how fast and how much your subscribers grow. 👍👍

How long has yours been open?

I could not agree more! The only one I would add is Eagle Rare. I love the whiskey shelf behind you.
Thanks! Come over and have a few pours when you are by Jack Daniels. The ER is good, but varies quite a bit depending on the barrel for me.
I’ll take you up on that invitation! We’ll have a blast.
Absolutely man! Please do

How would 2018 Four Roses LEsmall batch compare to 2017?
