Ty for the help

Well, it has to be at least 51% corn for the grain, no less than 160 proof at distillation, aged in new charred oak barrels, no additives are allowed, and aged a minimum of two years.

Great video. I did a whole video on this. Now I just use the word so people dont think I'm being difficult.

I just bought a Woodford Reserve 1L store pick ($50.73 out the door) in upstate NY; it was $2 cheaper than a regular 1L bottle and the store name wasn't on the label on the bottle itself but had a metal tag with the stores name identifying it hanging from the bottle neck. I wish I had seen this video first, I would have asked them. 🥃CHEERS!

👍🏾 now i know.. Thanks

What brand should I order?? 🤔

Thank you bought my first today

How do u not have four roses small batch select. The greatest of all non chill

SFMF

Thanks, now that it's clear how a store gets a "pick", my goal is now to schmooze the owner into letting me in on the "picking"

As a newbie to bourbon, I'd always wondered about this. I just subscribed and will see what other great info is on your channel! TIA

My fav bourbon Blanton Gold

3:22 ...so the two ingredients of bourbon are corn... and corn. Lol

Love the video. Great short breakdown. Would love to swap samples. Cheers.

The last pour is what I like the least. She gone

Cool, thanks for this info. I find that as I try more bourbons, there are some that I gravitate towards. I couldn’t originally put my finger on why, but turns out it was because of the wheat. So much smoother and less jarring to my palate. That makes my selections easier going forward.

Hey bro, excellent video, very well structured and well said 👍

So secondary and primary grain are both corn? Makes no sense

I think that there is much wisdom to be gained from Bourbon Charity. If someone you love has cancer, you would sell all of your bottles--including the rare and coveted ones--in a heartbeat. Put yourself in that mindset now, know what truly matters, and allocate your money accordingly.

This was good stuff, bro. The caution on what this hobby can cost (in more ways than one) and the best way to get the full experience from it: community. We aren’t made to live in isolation- this is a great excuse to gather some friends together =)

This is great! I’ll have to start doing this =)

I tried not to be offended as I watched this video- I never realized my name caused so much trouble, lol! Thanks for the solid advice =)

Wow, glad COVID didn’t cause any lasting issues for you man! As a beginner in this hobby I’ve been watching through your series and I’ve learned a lot, thank you! One thing that’d be helpful, though, is if you could write out the names of the bourbons you mention in the description area of the video. Thanks again!

Wow, this was very helpful- thank you!

Buffalo Trace is very hard to find in Maryland. Three weeks ago, I went searching for a bottle, and the first store I found which had it in stock asked for $75/bottle! I kept looking, and found it for $30.

After 30 seconds, I almost googled "the book of faces" LOL

I credit my brother-in-law for introducing me to Bourbon. I’m originally from Haiti, and, naturally, I’m a rum drinker. At the time he had 5 or 6 bottles, and he poured me a glass of Bulleit. I liked it, and when I asked about the characteristics and flavor profiles of the other bourbons, he could only tell me to what degree each would get me drunk or how bad the hangover would be. I’ve fallen in love with American whiskey since. I have not seen him a nearly two years partly because of the pandemic, and partly because of family turmoil. Even though I’m a newbie, I think I will invite him over for a whiskey flight. Hopefully, this will show him that Bourbon and Rye Whiskeys are to be sipped and enjoyed for their olfactory and gustatory qualities (and that his frat boy days are over! LOL)

What is meant by “ the barrel is dumped”?

The Rolex Sub analogy is spot on!

Old Tub what Jim Beam should be.

Great opener and some great ideas suggested here!

Another reason for ordering on the rocks at a bar is to extend the time between drinks. Typically bartenders and waitresses don't want to see patrons sitting there with an empty glass for long periods of time. On the rocks lets you gnaw on the flavored ice for quite a while after the whiskey is gone.

Another NC man! Nice! If you’re near the triangle, we should share a dram.

Secondary = Robbery without a gun. JK, that is what the bottle shop owner said when I asked about it when first started hunting bourbon. He sells at state min but knows how much the markup is of the unicorn bourbons. Great vid as always.

Hi Brian, Can the infinity bottle have duplicate bottles of whisky in it? Or, should it just be a single bottle of a certain type? Meaning, if I have emptied 2 bottles of Eagle rare, should both bottle be in the infinity bottle? You may have addressed this in the video but, if you did, I missed it. Cheers!

Thanks buddy, great stuff!

Great videos, keep them coming please! Would you make a video explaining what legs from a bourbon mean, and what is the significance?

Awesome video!

Oh man, I agree with Tom D. I could never see myself spending a whole lot more than MSRP. 15% over wouldn't phase me, but there is no way I could see myself spending double MSRP. Of course I'm nothing more than an armature-noob when it comes to whiskey/bourbon and tend to flinch at spending more than about $45 dollar a bottle anyway. Love the straight-forward videos, keep 'em coming!

Your videos have made a significant positive impact in my life over the last year. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us!

I’m new to the hobby of enjoying Bourbon, but I gotta say, I’ll never spend too much more than MSRP on anything I buy. I just won’t do it. And certainly not without tasting it first!!

Once again, great video! a sad topic but you explained really well. Keep it up! I will be first to watch every time. much appreciated for the video Just like the example you just presented, there is an high barrier of entrance for new enthusiast. Way too often I have went to a liquor store where they have "nothing" but someone else walk in and they pull out something behind their counter for their buddies. So what do you do? You love this new hobby. You stick around and talk about whiskey and be friend the liquor store employees or owners. For granted, as an whiskey enthusiast, some of the best info only comes from these employees/owners and if you like whiskey, this is actually one of the fun parts. But man, sometimes it gets tiring for me and the store folks. ETL is a great example. It just hit my state warehouse and so far there is only 40 bottles in the warehouse (through chatting at liquor store, see). Which store is going to get it? How many is going to ACTUALLY show up on the shelf? no one knows. Don't get me wrong, I have met many friends through this journey. I love it. In my experience, sharing samples is way more realistic than owning a bottle of ETL for newbies. Till then, it is going to be a vicious cycle where people who know the liquor store owner get the bottles first and then share in their circle and eventually some may leak into secondary. I am not going to pay secondary but when I trade bottles with my circle, it is always valued by secondary pricings. I want to say I feel bad that some days I am the guy who gets the bottle behind the counter... Supply vs Demand I suppose.

Are Wheateds generally more expensive than Ryes?

When I went to bars alot. Turkey 101 and coke with a dubble shot of it on the side.

Thank you for answering this. I never understood what that meant when I'd watch other bourbon videos.

Thanks for the great videos; just finished them all and looking forward to the next ones. I'm just down the road from you (Lexington).

Great video I’m subscriber

Haha, I love it! I admit I have thought about it before when filming for my channel, but have never dared say it. Such a great video and description as to why not use it!

I KNEW that's what was coming! Hahaha! I also think that sometimes there are qualities in bourbons that get lumped into the similarly generic descriptor of "burn". There's the "burn" from a "hot" whiskey where you can taste and feel the alcohol very prominently, or the "spice" from maybe a high-rye bourbon that tingles like hot pepper, or whiskeys that are more tannic and have a drying sensation in your mouth, or that warming sensation from the Kentucky Hug after you swallow (which I think many of us actually find enjoyable, myself included). I hereby nominate "burn" as the second word to never use when describing whiskey! :-D

Good stuff! Your sign-off endorsing friendly discussions and bourbon as a means to "add to life" was the nudge I needed to hit that subscribe button, so definitely keep that spirit going! As far as the neck pour phenomenon, even if we were to grant that it's a real thing (I personally need more hard evidence to be convinced of it) and if we were to grant that the whiskey in the neck of the bottle is objectively inferior to the juice behind it... why aren't more people just turning the bottle upside down a few times before they break the seal?! Problem solved, discussion ended! :-D
