The guy in the black shirt was clearly unbiased. The general consensus seems to be it’s really good but people have a hard time with the 90$ price tag. IMO the fact it goes for 75$ in some stores and it’s a “hard decision” to justify the price makes it a great choice for many and one of the best celebrity spirits. Great video.
A good whisky is a good whiskey regardless of who’s behind it. I really think if the price was a lot better I’d buy this whisky again. Feels like a whisky that doesn’t require your full attention. That’s why I compared it to Jameson. The experience was similar as far as the simplicity goes. Thank you for the comment! Cheers! -guy in the black shirt
My wife bought a bottle. I give it a 6.5 but the price point is just not worth it. There's so many great whiskeys you can buy for 50 bucks and under. I enjoy bullet bourbon better than this and it's only 20 bucks.
It appears to be a fairly toyed-with rye catering to a specific part of the population that is not familiar with how ryes generally taste (straight) and is eager to part with its money. I'm not surprised it's smooth. When you're under 90 proof, that tends to be the case. Props for grinding out that drive to post the review. Take care.
@@AJHart-eg1ys surprisingly the juice isn’t bad. Just wouldn’t pay more than $30 for it honestly. The bottle itself is the best part of the experience.
This isn’t even a straight rye. This is just an American rye. So they can add all kind of artificial flavorings and chemicals and not tell you. This isn’t unusual because the parent company of the master blender (Moet Hennessey) adds all types additives to their Cognac
@@spiritscollective That's the deal. Almost anything can be recommended if it is at the right price point. A lot of people love Fireball ... but let's be honest. It's not whisky. 😅 Take care!
Keep in mind this isn’t STRAIGHT American Rye. This is just American rye. That means they can add sugar, wood flavor, artificial color, chemicals, oil and other crap. And they don’t have to tell you about it. This is basically a rye cocktail in a bottle for $90
Yeah we got that. Only thing is we didn't know what kind of regulations there is for an American Rye. We just know that straight bourbons are heavily regulated. This is exactly what we thought though. Thank you for the comment!
This is a lot of speculation. Most small whiskey companies don't even do stuff like that but you are making the assumption that a billionaire who could buy most small whiskey companies would? Why even add sugar or anything else when it's been in a sherry cask? You aren't making sense bud.
hey fun review. I was super curious about this. thanks for sharing. cheers

@@TheDownbeatruler yeah this one would’ve been a great daily if it wasn’t $90. It’s definitely a $30 whiskey. The bottle is really cool though.
$90 is crazy. Nice looking bottle though and the cork pop was epic
@@oscarg5089 Yee probably one of the better cork pops we’ve had

It's a money grab $90 lmao

You are literally going under every review to make this same post!
@@nigel1412 not every. People need to know since this brand isn’t being transparent

@@steveno7058most aren't transparent. The only transparent brand is probably Bardstown and those bottles collect dust on most shelves lmao.
