As a host, I wouldn't ever dream of asking someone to bring something they aren't going to consume. If you're bringing something, it better be something you like.
After trying WT Rare Breed its hard for me to try an other Wild Turkey, I did try WT Kentucky Spirit Single Barrel but for $10 more I didn't think it was much better. Should I try the 101 or just stick with Rare Breed?
@RossMalagarie I think I had Rare Breed many moons ago, but that evening is a blur to me now. I've enjoyed the barrel proof version on special occasions since my early twenties, and I do like it a lot. It's worth trying at least, in my opinion. I think it has a very different flavor profile from other Kentucky straights I've had. It packs a wallop at 50.1% abv, though.
@@Lazyboy5298its not garbage its just as good as buffalo trace. But what were learning is decent whiskey could be a dime a dozen if not for manufactured demand. Get it right.
@@Executioner_of_Timeyou've gotta remember that a lot of viewers are also going to be from places where it's common. For example, in most of Europe it's very likely that even the smallest grocery stores have an alcohol aisle. A lot of US drinking culture (minimum age, separate stores etc) comes from the remnants of Prohibition a century ago.
@@BigShaneGilliswhat are some brands you actually recommend? Just want to know from someone who clearly cares a lot about bourbon. Personally I don’t know much but I like Woodford and Eagle Rare.
Other than the wax, Maker's Mark is a simple reliable cheap option to me. For $25 a bottle, it is really smooth and does the job. Four Roses small batch would be my go to pick though.
Tried Maker’s Mark when I moved to a Kentucky, I know cliche. The first bourbon I tried actually. And I’m too stubborn to try different bourbons, so Maker’s Mark remains my go-to.
Moving up to MM 46 is an option. It won't feel like you're cheating then. :) My "first" was regular Elijah Craig. I'll likely always have some expression in the closet. :)
Fun fact: in 2019 I got my PhD, which makes me a scholar. My supervisor complimented me on being a “gentleman” (i.e. I was not a fucking creep unlike other guys). In honour of this, I bought Four Roses, because I am a gentleman, and a scholar.
Alright you got me there about the 101 turkey...back in the ole drinking days I fit that catagory....forgot to mention the part where after you drink that bottle you end up clucking and waddling around like a damn turkey!
To be honest, I buy Makers because they support Kentucky writers. When a resident writer is published they become a Makers Ambassador and receive recognition.
Is it just me or does anyone else's brightness on their phone get jacked up when ever you come across these guys videos but it goes away when you scroll past.
RIGHT ON POINT!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I carry a knife on my belt, I have a goatee and I look down on 80 proof whiskey drinkers... I keep that Turkey 101 in stock baby!!! 😂😂😂
Hot take: that Balcones Pot Still is the best bourbon under $30 hands down. I never get tired of it. Same quality (imo) as Woodford but it has a bolder flavor
Maker's Mark: "You fully intend to mix this in a sweet cocktail." Wild Turkey: "You want to get drunk at exponential speed but you hate the taste of Sailor Jerry's." Four Roses: "You fully intend to mix this, but it makes a better classic cocktail."
Dude how the hell did he nail this so spot on. The last time I drank a bottle of 101 wild turkey, I dead ass had a knife on my belt and had a beard at the time. These guys definitely know what they’re talking about!
Maker’s Mark makes some of the best stuff I’ve ever had. BEP was fantastic and their cellar aged release this year is actually god tier. For the price, regular Maker’s Mark is hard to beat as well
Finally, four roses get their time to shine. Four roses is terrific for 20$ and the single barrel and small batch are some of the best bourbons out there IMO in general let alone for their price.
You’re right… i do enjoy the wax on Maker’s bottles
Same. They're all different. Sometimes it runs way down the bottle.
The flavour of texture of it always pairs well with the bourbon 😋
Who doesnt
@@Cnutthegreat15its not tho
@@Cnutthegreat15maybe in your state but not in kentucky
The knife and beard comment was unnecessarily accurate
Yes i kinda feel like it was way too accurate, especially looking at myself xDDD
Called me out
No...Its in the back pocket, and rye 101 is better
Bro frrr
Well shit, I’ve been found out about on RUclips.
That 4 roses small batch is some great stuff.
Grab the single barrel if you are it. Fantastic
@@mrbojangles010more of a small batch guy then the single barrel. Single barrel is cheaper where I’m at so I drink that though.
@@mrbojangles010 I haven't tried the regular version yet but plan to make it through the whole line up here shortly.
@@boldpredictionssports regular 4 roses is a steal for the price
Small Batch Select is better than normal SB and proofed up, both good
Kickin chicken 101 is probably one of the best budget bourbons on the market.
As a bearded 101 drinker I have to say you got me.
Guilty as charged
Yes, I feel personally called out.
Yeap lol
Change knife to gun and you got it spot on
Your soyc
WT 101 is just the best bourbon for the price hands down. Especially when it was $22 four years ago
Still only like $25 everywhere around me. My daily.
Try that Evan Bonded. For the price, it works.
@@rpitneyjryou should try and switch that to at most an every other daily
Agreed!
Like WT 101 but Maker's 101 a little better
I love these videos, and quietly, I don't drink. But it really helps when you have to bring a bottle.
Lmaooo. My family has a convenience store and sells mostly beer and I work there all the time, and quietly also I don’t drink either
I feel you, except I'm an alcoholic
I too don't drink.
As a host, I wouldn't ever dream of asking someone to bring something they aren't going to consume.
If you're bringing something, it better be something you like.
It doesn’t bro these are shit recs.
Bro called me out with that Wild Turkey.
Yeah, but what do those earrings say about him? 😂
You're totally off with the Wild Turkey 101.....I carry a folding knife with a pocket clip NOT on my belt...😅😂🤣
Never been called a gentleman and scholar before, why thank you good sir.
Agreed my good man
He didn’t finish the full saying😂 it’s “you’re a gentleman and a scholar.. and I’m a damned liar”
The saying goes; “You’re a gentleman and a scholar and a damn fine lady.”
You nailed me on the Wild Turkey 101.....
I mean me too tbf
@@LeatherDaddy97 most of these, I feel like they are just funny. That one was spot on! Lol
My go to is 4 Roses regardless of where I am. Nice safe glass with lots of fun and complexities. Super drinkable and goes down easy.
That four roses is my favorite these days.
@blank_182I think it was small batch
@@hyperbolic4606it's the small batch. Ive got half a bottle left right now.
Small batch is amazing and worth the money imo
@blank_182google it ffs
@blank_182 like $30
101 is the hidden gem outa that group. It does laps around regular turkey.
If you haven't had it and you have a chance, wild turkey rare breed rye is top notch, for me at least
lmao, as a wild turkey lover, you are 100% right my friend
101% right 🤣🤣☺️☺️👍👍
Wild turkey gang rise up
Always got a pint of Turkey 101 in my pocket
Damn, that was surprisingly accurate on the Wild Turkey.

Buffalo Trace is weak tea.
Four Roses is garbage.

Laugavulin 16, Ardbeg 10 year, Knob Creek 15 year barrel proof.

🤣🤣
Four roses small batch is my favorite bourbon ever!
As a guy who bags groceries, I do love the wax when someone buys a maker's mark bottle
They have whiskey at grocery stores? Cool.

101 is a criminally underrated bourbon
you are absolutely correct

yup
101 is garbage
I disagree.
How can a bourbon that EVERY YT bourbon channel claims is one of the best on the market, be "underrated"?
As a bearded WT101 drinker, I'm kind of taken aback at how well you nailed this one. No knife though.
Then it ain’t about you
@@ray7909 20% chance that they wouldnt have the knife, so it does apply to him
WT101 is great value but the four roses small batch and especially the barrel select are gooood
Don’t tell them about four roses bro lmao
Preach I don't want to pay a premium.
I thought the same thing 😂
When I started the video I was like “I wonder if Four Roses will be here”
i got it as a graduation gift, that stuff is strong 🤣 maybe i’m not a bourbon kinda girl lol
@@mackennakanzigit’s normal whiskey strength lol
@@BigShaneGilliswhat are some brands you actually recommend? Just want to know from someone who clearly cares a lot about bourbon. Personally I don’t know much but I like Woodford and Eagle Rare.
the roses one got me lol i love that stuff
It feel personally attacked by the WT 101. haha Nailed it.
I started drinking Maker’s in the 80’s and I still drink Makers when I drink, which isn’t often.
Pretty much nailed it on that Wild Turkey 101 with me lol
Okay, the knife is for work, the beard is because I'm ugly, and I just like the little extra burn. Leave me alone.
Thank you for doing “wild turkey 101” you where absolutely on point
Lol love the wax on the Makers bottle. My favorite is Old Forester though
I love these, and as a Jameson drinker your spot on on the whiskey version of this video.
Other than the wax, Maker's Mark is a simple reliable cheap option to me. For $25 a bottle, it is really smooth and does the job. Four Roses small batch would be my go to pick though.
Wild Turkey guy. You nailed it 😂
Ain't even gonna lie, you're spot on with that wild Turkey 😂
How he got the Wild Turkey 101 so damn accurate?
The wax is pretty cool. I just love the feel of it.
Tried Maker’s Mark when I moved to a Kentucky, I know cliche. The first bourbon I tried actually. And I’m too stubborn to try different bourbons, so Maker’s Mark remains my go-to.

They make a cask strength if you can find it. Its so good i can't drink normal makers mark the same
Try Woodford Reserve Straight Bourbon! Even better their Double Oak! Will blow Makers Mark out of the water!!
Your exactly Right about the WT 101. Best buy just over 20 bucks!

This is wonderful, my go to is four roses single batch select. Wonderful whiskey for a great price
I celebrated my 21st birthday a couple of days ago and bought my first bourbon, which so happened to be Four Roses. I feel validated now.
Old forester 1920 is the bourbon I fell in love with. Gotta teach em young lol
Try Basil Hayden
Try Old Forester 1920 neat with a few drops of water and let it sit for 15 minutes. It is the bomb.
I don't know. Maybe it was the roses.
@@CoolPigeon98 The roses, or the ribbons in her long brown hair 😉 💀 🌹
Maker's is pretty good. The wax is a bonus!
Lately I've been all about that Taiwanese whiskey, but when it comes to bourbon you know I always got a bottle of Four Roses on my shelf.
congrats bro ur an alcoholic. I however have a medical prescription for my weed
@@cyan0xide I didn't know that finishing a bottle of whiskey in like six months makes you an alcoholic.
@@cyan0xidethat subscription for the depression your dad gave you?
I’ve been waiting for this part 2 for a while
Absolutely correct on all fronts. I love when they change up the wax color!!
The wild Turkey one felt like a personal attack😂
Honestly I started with four roses and I never went back, it’s all great stuff but the roses just hit my taste buds better
My grandpa drank makers, I’ll drink makers. It’s just that simple.
I’m not a fan of the standard makers mark, but some of their higher end stuff is great.
Try some better bourbons man, there's so many good bottles out there.
@@PRLOutdoors I like some others too. I don’t exclusively drink makers. But I do enjoy it every once in a while.
The wax is so unique. Plus it’s a damn good bourbon.
If I find a slam dunk bottle I’m keeping it

This guy was my favorite King on The Witcher. Glad to see he's keeping busy now that those bas****s killed him off.
3 for 3... guilty as charged

Remember when every liquor store had somewhere between 1 and 5 of their own four roses barrel picks? Good times.
Four roses 🌹 has always had my heart. It's my daily drinker.
Completely right about Wild Turkey
Your 101% correct about your wild turkey assumptions
Four roses is my favorite sipping whiskey by far
4 roses small batch was the first bourbon I tried while working at a liquor store. Still a personal favorite.
But what about the Balcones drinker? Their Balcones Brimstone is my absolute favorite. It’s like drinking a campfire it’s so Smokey
The small batch is simple heavenly.
One of the best whiskeys. Wax is bonus
You didn't need to call me out like that on the WT 101 AND the 4 roses SB, sir!
four roses is definitely my favorite of those three
RIGHT ON POINT!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I carry a knife on my belt, I have a goatee and I look down on 80 proof whiskey drinkers... I keep that Turkey 101 in stock baby!!! 😂😂😂
Angels envy is my favorite, but my go-to is woodfords
My Ex wife used to drink 4 Roses. That’s an all time classic and mostly overlooked bourbon.
I’m drinking wild Turkey 101 right now with a huge knife on my belt 😂
you are 100 percent on the Wild Turkey. I don't drink it, but you nailed both people I like that do.
pretty much nailed my choice of wild turkey 101
The first one is 100% accurate 😂
How did he nail me with that WT 101?
😂😂😂
the real reason i like makers mark is because it goes best with ginger ale lol but if it's neat, I really like woodford or four roses
4 roses was too accurate
I like the wax sure, I also enjoy the drink itself.
The one you held in the beginning I got for my dad’s birthday and it was really good 😂
Hot take: that Balcones Pot Still is the best bourbon under $30 hands down. I never get tired of it. Same quality (imo) as Woodford but it has a bolder flavor
I've been enjoying a few of Benchmark's bourbons lately. The full proof and single barrel are pretty good for the price
Yes. I love the wax on the bottle
Makers makes a great whiskey sour. Four Roses Small batch is the best IYKYK bourbon. Turkey 101 is… it’s just great
Maker's Mark: "You fully intend to mix this in a sweet cocktail."
Wild Turkey: "You want to get drunk at exponential speed but you hate the taste of Sailor Jerry's."
Four Roses: "You fully intend to mix this, but it makes a better classic cocktail."

Try Woodford Reserve straight bourbon! Even better...Double Oak!!
Phenomenal bourbons!!
How about Rebel? Formerly Rebel Yell, but rebranded in the last few years.
(I'll admit, the rebranding made me feel better about enjoying it.)
The wax is pretty cool tbf and the whisky is decent enough to be worth it
I used to think that makers mark was gimmicky trash, until i tried it. Its actually a very solid whiskey for the price
Spot on with wild turkey, single barrel is best.
i admit the maker's mark bottle is pretty cool, but it's also a very awesome bourbon. 👌
Finally, four roses get their time to shine. Four roses is terrific for 20$ and the single barrel and small batch are some of the best bourbons out there IMO in general let alone for their price.
Now that the video has been made no one else make any videos on it I'm not having another buffalo trace etc situation.
I do love the wax on the bottle. I cant help but pluck the drip strands from them.
I like to use four roses small batch select for old fashioneds 😂

The wild turkey is insanely accurate
