    When I watch your videos, I’m like “great, now I have to go downstairs, grab the bottle, and sample some whisky to see what they were saying”

  • @sundayeveningscotch4978

    Great list - I've only had 3 of these (Saffell, Rare Breed, and 1920--all 3 of which made my own personal top 10 of 2019 as well!). I'll definitely need to grab some more of these!

  • @harrisonwerner6777
    @harrisonwerner6777 4 года назад +1

    Only 3 on this list I haven’t had are WB Saffel, Bulleit 12 and the woodford wheat. OF rye has won multiple blind budget tastings among my friend’s. Jack SBBP was my absolute favorite whiskey til I got the batch 12 Stagg Jr. When people ask me what my favorite whiskey brand is I always say old forester because I’ve never had a bad product from them! Love the video

    @PreppinShootinLivin 4 года назад +6

    1792 Full Proof($45ish) and OGD 114($25ish) are my 2 fav's...also Rare Breed for $45ish as well.....I like the high proof stuff and both of these are great prices. I really want Woodford Double Oaked more but it's 90proof and over $50....it's hard for me to pull the trigger on more.

  • @mikecofojohn168

    Guys, just picked up my first Eight & Sand and will have to try ASAP. Great list. Best accessible bourbon in 2019 was the Bookers 2019-03 Country Ham but at $80 that could be a showstopper. Best Great Surprise was the Very Old Barton 90 proof in your Advent calendar. Just bought a 1dot75 liter BigBoy handle for $25. Cheers!! 👍🥃😋

    OF 1910 and 1920 are awesome, I am a huge proprietor of the Early Times as well, so good for $22/1L. It's sad that I have not bought a bottle of the OF rye yet, that will be rectified tomorrow.

    I think you two are my whiskey spirit animals. I like the OF Rye and ET BiB so so much (for the price?! oh man!), especially for classic cocktails (Sazeracs and Manhattans) and they are both good for sharing with "idiot buddies" who don't necessarily appreciate "better" whiskey (and who wants to waste good whiskey on those guys?!). Hopefully we don't see some kind free market economics at work as word gets out, supplies dwindle and prices go up!

    1920 is fantastic. My top 3 I've ever had are pappy 23, Jefferson reserve cask strength and 1920. Yes I've had other expensive bottle other pappy's, Kentucky owl Kentucky King and so on. 1920 beats those bottles hands down

    I hope ET BiB comes to PA soon can't wait to try it. I totally passed up on E H Taylor SiB and brought Woodford wheat ( first time seeing them in PA). The only regret I have is not buying 2 of the Woodford.😁

      I didn't know until people started commenting that ET BiB isn't everywhere.

      @@BourbonJunkies it's cool I am used to PA getting things last or late however it is nice not to overpay for stuff, and being able to track inventory for the whole state within an hour of real time.

    Have you two either tried Two Gingers Whiskey? Here in Dallas, it's wicked cheap and Candian Club smooth... without being Canadian Club.

    I got a bottle of Jack Daniels Sinatra Select and WOW!!!! Is it worth $180??? NO!!! However... they also offer the $100 bottle of gold label Old 27 and Bamb!!! Bang for buck... better than Sinatra Select for sure.
