As a collector of JD here in TN its good to see that Bottle of no 27, getting harder and harder to find. Great potato bottle
Yeah i saw another on a shelf about a year ago, should've bought it. Then I would feel better about opening this one 😆. I've had a pour at a bar, really good
Wear the damn hat, my brother!!!!!! Keep sending us great content!! Love you and thinking of you during recovery!!!
Haha I'm wearing all the damn hats!
I think both are solid, and if I had to pick I think you might be right. I also think the toasted is a bit more complex.
Thanks for the comment! Honestly it's a tough choice, just a bit more to the toasted. Cheers!
Got my first bottle last night for $45, I had not encountered it before. Delicious neat! Cheers!
Heck yes! Rare Breed is a staple for every bourbon lover. So versatile, cheers!!
Many thanks! 13:10 epic outro music! 🎸
This was a pretty good read, thanks!
Hi Mike, So great to see your family involved 🙂 It's probably a book I will pick up again as the story is quite impactful. Sorry it will take me a few more days to reply to your messages. I just wanted to say Hi - this 52 book journey is just great and I probably still have 30 videos to watch! 43:34 high demand r. - this hits the nail on the head and sums up up a large part of my life ... Cheers!
I was surprised how much I liked this read, listening to the audible version enhanced it for me. Sadie and I will be doing another review next month, stay tuned!!
How did you get so many bottles?
How do you make the money for all that haha
Well I didn't go buy these bottles at one time, it was over a two year process to accumulate my High West. Let's just say I'm a relatively well compensated union employee.
Sorry you have to go through the hurricane aftermath. Glad you are safe though. Wishing you the very best. Keep making those videos- people are watching and you are helping us more than you think. Really appreciate your insights on life. I will wear the damn hat! Cheers to you and your fam.
Thanks for the kind words!! Things are getting better day to day. Cheers!
Shibumi
Nice! I saw it first during Bullet Train and ordered it during the movie. It was an interesting read, review next month!
@@michaelhite haven't read it yet myself!
I am also not much into poetry. For contemporary things I only can recommend Felix Dennis "Glass half full". My classic go to are the Canterbury Tales. Your outro music is definitely worth listening to 🎸 Cheers!
I'll have to check out Felix Dennis. I did enjoy Walt Whitman and his works. But honestly, that's the first book of poetry I've ever read.
Good quote: "You are talking funny." It's definitely a thing my former Indian colleague would have said. Maybe I should checkout the audio version for it. Funny/strange accents like mine give you a whole new perspective about those things. Respect - from the playlist I see that you managed the 52 books! I am looking forward seeing a lot of them. Maybe one day I should start a serious channel as well. Cheers!
The books I listened to on audible where the narrator's accent was accurate to the book really enhanced the listening experience. It was great reading those 52 books last year. I found some authors i loved and a few I really didn't. Definitely reading less this year but still powering through books. I have a few reviews coming up.
Great video my friend!
Thanks Scott!!
Captain Outlaw!
Mad Max in the house!!
Great review and challenge! I just finished Ulysses and Dante was important for J. Joyce. It's a good enough reason to finally get to know the Divine Comedy as well. I will check out your other videos. 🙂 Leaving the proclaimed straight path is something I can relate to.
I honestly struggled through Ulysses but enjoyed Divine Comedy. I think the correct path is the one you forge for yourself! Cheers!
Its great to see your face, Cap't Mike! This video really made me think...wear the damn hat! I am happy to see you sipping whiskey and using this for what it can be, an escape and happier place. Keep sipping, my friend...and let Mrs Cap't know we are all sending you our positive thoughts for recovery and better days to come.
Thanks for the positivity! It was nice to do a long form video again. Wear the damn hat my friend, cheers!!
Glen MORANGIE, not Glen MORANGY
I think I watched some Scots talking about this after I did the video and realized I butchered the name. I do the same with my Japanese whiskys 😫. Regardless, I really like the Cadboll Estate!
Getting one next month when they come in to my local grocery store 👍😉 Cheers 🥃
Nice! I think it's a good pour for $25!!!?
Glad you are OK man ! Looking forward to see your opinion on little book infinite and bookers reserves (no pressure thou)
Thanks! Unfortunately I messed up and missed out on the Bookers Reserve when I was in KY, ended up 26th the Booker's 2024-3. I might actually do the LB Infinite this weekend. 🤞 cheers
I live in the bay area as well...these last two storms have been tough to deal with. Like everything else in life, we'll get through it! I love your content and look forward to sharing more pours with you here on UA-cam!
Thanks! I hope you and your loved ones were safe through the storms. We're 3 blocks to the gulf, so it's been pretty devastating for the entire region. Thanks for the kind words, and we'll get back to some long form videos when we have wifi, cheers!!
@@michaelhite we are just a bit south in Bradenton. Made it through with some damage, but overall ok. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to reach out. Looking forward to those videos, brother!
I'm glad it didn't hit you too hard. Thanks for the offer, we got the salvageable items out and let the professionals do the rest!
the port one is fantastic...but that release is about gone...the next version is Rum cask aged, it's good but not as special as the port.....haven't tried the Cab finished.....
Obviously I'm a huge High West fan. Port is such a good finish for HW whiskeys. Cab also works really well. Though I think the BBC Carter Cellars Cab finished was the bees knees. And honestly, not sure which I have left after the storms. Everything is in large totes for a while. Cheers!!
Hope the juice is safe 😉👍
Thanks! A surprising amount of bottles survived. Once I get wifi I'll get back to videos. At both my house and the Airbnb we're staying at the internet is out.
At least you survived the storm, sipping on a Southern Star high Rye bourbon from NC . Dad passed away this past week, was in his 90's and a Korean War Veteran 🫡🇺🇲
Sorry to hear about your dad. Always such a hard time. I haven't done any Southern Star, but a high rye bourbon sounds right up my alley!!
Cheers!
Hells yeah, cheers!
Hang in there Mike!
Thanks Scott! We're hanging on by our fingernails! Cheers!
Best review yet!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Unfortunately, this bottle was one of the ones destroyed in the flood. Oh well!
Hang in there Mike. Thoughts and Prayers with you brother.
Thanks! We're just about done tearing the place up, and then we can start rebuilding!
"Honey, did you put all our family pictures and heirlooms safely in my car like i asked?" -Yes dear
Haha so good!! Mrs. Captain knows better than that!
I'm glad I live in michigan, we don't have much violent weather. not much snow or tornadoes either. Hopefully you ride out the storm safely 🙏. Oh yeah, the bottles also 😉👍 Cheers 🥃
Thanks, we're safe and fine what we can for the remaining possessions we have, and the bottles! We love visiting Michigan in the summertime ☀️
Stay safe bro!
Thanks! I think we're in a good spot. Hope to head back south tomorrow. It's gonna be rough for some though
@@michaelhite sucks to hear but glad there is some light at the end of the tunnel
We're trying!!
I’ll check in later
Thanks! Winds will be here in a couple hours
The people commenting probably have never seen a hurricane besides on the TV😊
I've been through at least 4 hurricanes in the past few years, and my airbnb flooded twice and my house once. It's crazy. Those people are lucky if they never see a hurricane. Stay Safe
Stay safe
Thanks! That's the plan. Prepped the house and airbnb and evacuated just far enough, hopefully
Hope insurance gets you figured out brotha.
Thanks. They're all been contacted, but for Helene. We'll have to call again for Milton now!!
How many bottles😂
I think 105, I might go out and make another quick short of the bottles. Depends on the rain 🌧
So how does the evacuation process work? Do you just drive until you find a hotel with rooms or do you already have reservations? Stay safe.
I bet there are people doing that the freeways are crazy today! There's a saying, "hide from the wind, run from the water." So you don't have to go far to be relatively safe. We're only going about 30 miles, to a friend's townhouse. Thanks
My problem with the first and later Starship Trooper movies is that they were so different from the book by Robert Heinlein. The movie director made it more about a satire of facsist propaganda and less the United Nations military of the future in the excellent book. Heinlein also wrote Stranger in a Strange Land as a more liberal book, but as a conservative and Navy veteran I thought it was more of a stretch for him and is less known now.
You're right, like most adaptations, Starship Troopers movie is a mere shadow of what the book is. It completely misses the point. And it's been decades since I've read Stranger in a Strange Land. Maybe I'll hit that next year. Thanks!
So stupid. Wasting product when it obviously doesn't work. You show them!!
You're definitely right, it doesn't work
My fav sipping whiskey is Jim beam vanilla. It’s a nice dessert whiskey
I'm a big Jim Beam fan. I'll have to look for a bottle!
@@michaelhite I highly recommend it! It’s incredibly smooth and rich and very sweet. It’s great to mix with Dr Pepper or even cream soda. I saw someone mix it with orange cream soda and I’m thinking about trying it lol
That sounds good, we occasionally get the Dr Pepper Vanilla, so that is a combo. Thanks, cheers!
@@michaelhite cheers! No problem!
At 3:30 you just described... ME TOO! You're not alone. We rebuild recover and restock
I'm sorry man. Devastating for so many. Our town looks like a war zone. I hope you guys are well.
1st I'd figure out which path they would like to travel Irish, Canadian, American, I myself prefer bourbon and would recommend two middle of the road very approachable bottle that most importantly are affordable in case bourbon is not their cup of tea. Maybe Evan Williams bib or a benchmark or buffalo trace. I like sweeter fruit forward bourbon so I tend to recommend buffalo trace to start. FLORIDA STRONG!! 🥃
I actually have a few Benchmark I haven't opened. I like EW BiB and BT. Always good choices!
Stay safe my friends! Thinking of you guys. Old Forester 1910 / WR Double Oak.
Nice, 2 Double Oaked whiskeys. Can't go wrong there! Cheers my friend!!
Sorry brother… that was heartbreaking to hear. At the end of the day. You have your health and your family…. You can always buy more whiskey. Keep your head up and stay positive brother.
Thanks for the kind words. We're in the final push right now to get the salvageable items out. Gutting the house to the studs in the next couple days
God bless…
i’d buy something cheap and something nice like whistlepig. one to drink quick and one to cheers to being alive ❤️ love you capt
That's a great way to look at it. Cheers! Love me some Whistlepig!!
If the tops were water tight, no bacteria or mold got in the bottles, and 80 proof or more kills bacteria. I would clean the outside of the bottles and over several weeks look for any color changes inside. After a month smell then sample the whiskey. My guess is 99 out of 100 will be normal.
Great advice. I'm definitely gonna do this. Thanks!
Sorry to hear that man ! I enjoy a lot of your videos, glad to see you and family are OK! Keep your chin up everything will be OK very very soon. In terms if whisky wild turkey would be also my choice, and second, probably good knob creek
Thanks for that. We're working our way through it. I'm definitely a fan of both WT and KC. Great choices! Cheers!
I’m so sorry man. The wife and I were just looking at Siesta Key disaster images. It’s heartbreaking. It’s our favorite Florida vacation spot. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family and other disaster victims. I’d buy a Rare Breed and a Jack Daniel’s barrel proof. I don’t know you personally, but you seem like a fighter. To your health! 🥃
Thanks, we are slowly working our way through the process. Those would be solid choices for starting a new collection! Cheers!
Capt. Mike, glad you're safe, love your channel , and stay strong during this disaster you're facing. Lots of love to both of you. If I had to buy two bottles, it would be Jim Bean White Label, and High West. You sold me on the High West and been a big fan of it because of you. Cheers 🍻 my friend!
Thanks for the comment and kind words. I realized I didn't say exactly what my first 2 bottles would be. One would be High West, for sure.
Kozuba has a 7 year old wheated rye that's available at most ABCs in FL. It's 90 proof and very good. They also have single barrels of their 7 year rye that are "cask strength"
Well my Kozuba got ruined in the flood so I'll be heading back soon
@@michaelhite Sorry to hear that.
Thanks, we'll get through it.
Was a fun trip for sure. Definitely some interesting distilleries we visited. Stay safe!
Let's do it again, but book tours next time!
I freaking love this whisky
Great whiskey for a great price. BBC has been on fire lately
