I knew your buddy was from the Chicagoland area after he talking about his first four bottles. Nice collection and I love that he opens every bottles. Cheers.
Spectacular selection of whiskies! Well done. I enjoyed this because you like what you like and that's what you gravitate towards but you're not afraid to try any other spirits. Too many drinkers get pigeon holed into only liking certain bottles and never explore the endless possibilities that's out there on the shelves. Huge kudos to this massive selection of open bottles.
I really like this guy. Most people you find with a collection like this acts like they are better than us little people that don't have such a collection. It seems like he is very humble and just like "oh yeah i like whiskey you want to see what I have?" then he just whips out this huge collection
Well done. Nice selection. I really enjoy these types of videos. Honest commentary about what you like and don't particularly care for. Thank you for sharing.
Lots of love here, thank you guys for watching and leaving comments! Btw, if you want to watch us drink some of this whiskey and unprofessionally ramble on about it for 3 hours, you can watch our livestream in the live section on the Bourbon Chronicles main page. Thank you, Tim, this was a ton of fun to make!! Clarifications: when I said 1.25oz that's my total alcohol intake per day split between 4 whiskies! Well, maybe if I have a blind during lunch, I might have another one after dinner, so 2.5oz is possible. Corrections, apologies, Larceny and Wilderness Trail are wheated bourbons, not wheat whiskies. Also, every time I want to say Lincoln County Process, I end up saying Lincoln Town car. i don't know why. More clarifications/corrections... Three Floyd's is a beer brewery in Indiana, and has just started to make single malt. Early Times bottled in bond is my 2nd favorite bourbon at 100 proof or lower, but Heaven Hill 7y bottled in bond is my 3rd favorite. My favorite bourbon at 100 proof or lower is EH Taylor Small Batch. And I do actually like it better than the EH Taylor single barrel, because it is more sweet, of course. I meant to say that I like Scotch with Rum or Port finishes because they are such strong finishes. Sherry is too weak.
@@hbbumm I'm cheap. Just need them to be sturdy - Amazon Basics 5-shelf adjustable, they were only $45 on Prime Day. The bottles don't stand well on the wire racks so I buy cheap wood shelves from Menards and literally saw the corners off to fit on top of the wire racks.
My taste doesn't match Alex at all, but I love his angle and approach to whiskey. I also love the idea of this series, very cool. I look forward to seeing you do this with more people's collections
At first I wanted to not like this guy, but he quickly changed my mind. He reminds me of myself but times 20. I like trying different things more than I like sticking to one favorite. I had to quit collecting for this reason. Too many bottles sitting on my shelf. I loved that he said “you should try that.” Cool guy wanting to share his hobby.
Alex drinks at the same pace I do, and while his collection has an incredible amount of bottles, this is pretty inspiring to have a variety of them opened and categorized.
I've thought about this, and Tim asks me about it everytime I see him, haha! But I think the channel name has been decided because I always say this: Nothing Can Be Too Sweet
Thank you for the recommendation! I've been hemming and hawing over my first birddog bottle and THAT one will be it! Sometimes I put off trying a new whiskey because I know if I don't like it, it will cloud my opinion of the distillery and I won't go back to it for awhile. Same reason I sometimes wait for new distilleries to release their first cask strength version.
@@alexanderlai9160 well to give you some info that may convince you to try Birddog they contract source from Bardstown Bourbon co. there flavored stuff is all at 80 proof instead of 70 and there standard bourbon is 4 yrs old and only msrp 24 bucks and is very good!
It took me 5 years of collecting to get any comprehension of what allocated whiskey was, once I caught on, it was game over for my budget for the last 2 years. California gets a ton of allocations so Stagg Jr, EhT SiB, EhT BP, etc... pops up every other week during allocation. My friend even scored a GTS at Bevmo last week. However, that's not the case with a lot of states so nonallocated makes more sense for most people. Edit: the title is a bit misleading though with the use of the word "insane" as most people who watch this, have some quite impressive collections. I think "large collection" would be more suitable in the context, so as not to mislead any more seasoned veterans in the whisky game. Great video nonetheless with many great bottles!
Most bourbons get better over time as they open up, some get worse. C923 was amazing at the neck pour and now is good but isn't as amazing as I remember. So even though I thought they were neck and neck, I'm withholding my final conclusion for another couple months to see if B524 can still hang with C923 after opening up.
Ok, I just did a blind tonight heads up and C923 did win over B524, it was sweeter, though B524 was spicier (prev blinds usually have 4). I'll try again in a few weeks and report back if things change back.
Personally, I think it will last for the rest of your life. But you should test how you feel about the alcohol oxidizing. Try this experiment. Take a bottle of Buffalo Trace that is almost done and let it sit on your shelf for a year or two. Now do a blind with a new pour of Buffalo Trace. In almost every blind I've done, I've felt the oxidized bourbon was better! It was a little sweeter at the cost of some loss in proof. Also, I use argon gas wine preserver, you spray into the bottle, and the argon gas is heavier than oxygen, so it sits on the alcohol in the bottle and the whiskey stops oxidizing. I used to use the argon gas on all of my bottles, but then I discovered that I actually like my bourbon oxidized. So now, I only use it for bourbons that I think are "perfect" where they are at (my Staggs, a couple of my Four Roses SB, and a few other store picks). The rest, I'm happy knowing that the whiskey is getting sweeter with age. Nothing wrong with waiting for a good occasion to open your gts. But don't wait bc you think your bottle will spoil. I would use the argon gas on the gts. But definitely experiment with the argon gas before you use it. I, personally, can't detect a change in smell or taste after using it, but just make sure you can't either!
I don't have any objections to single malt, I think I just don't like the taste that a pot still produces. I don't like pot still bourbons and I don't like pot still ryes. And when I taste scotch, I get the same "funk" - it just tastes like new distillate to me. Try this experiment. Run a dram of one of your inexpensive scotch through a brita filter. THIS is the type of scotch I could really enjoy. If you think about it, a brita filter is basically the Lincoln County process, but with activated charcoal rather than maple charcoal. And the same process happens in heavily charred barrels. It's taking all of the tastes I don't like out of the distillate. So I'm not saying that I don't like single malt, I'm saying that the single malt that is commonly produced... I don't like the taste or even smell - it's like the smell of a chemical. I think I could REALLY enjoy single malt if it is put through a Lincoln County process or aged in a heavily new charred barrel in a hot climate area for more than 8 years. There's just not many people doing this (and please let me know if you have any suggestions!). Finally, my argument back at you: If the taste and smell of malt is so wonderful, why is it that the most expensive and aged scotch on the market, pretty much have no malt on the nose and the taste of malt has been quite muted? Why are the most expensive peated scotch actually have quite a faded peat smell and taste? Maybe I'm saying that I just don't like young scotch. And since whiskey ages faster in Kentucky than Scotland, and I tend not to like any bourbons younger than 7 years, then maybe I just don't like any scotch younger than 20 years, haha. My final argument against scotch: I'm not impressed with bourbon at 86 proof either.
@@alexanderlai9160 for myself my favorite single malts have flavors coming from the distillate and casks in balance. That is where real complexity shines. It is true that the most expensive Scotch is very old. But that is because of economics and demand. Aging anything for 30 years will be crazy expensive. Demand because old age is prestigious. But personally I have many bottles that are under 15 years that are better than many 18-25 year. I will admit it took me much longer to like Single malt Scotch than Bourbon. Bourbon was more approachable and sweet. Don’t get me wrong. O absolutely still love a great Bourbon and drink it often. But after about 4 years I began favoring Scotch because of the wide variety of flavors and complexity. I simply get more surprised with what flavors I taste in Scotch than Bourbon. In general I avoid any Bourbon under 100 proof and Scotch under 92 proof. There is actually alot of Scotch that is cask strength on the market. Of course it all comes down to personal preference. But don’t be surprised that in 5 years you begin to really like other spirits like Scotch, single pot still Irish and Rum! Since you favor sweet you should really try some high quality Rums. Something high proof without additives. Foursquare exceptional casks or cask strength Hampden
No. Tim is trying to get me to start one, but we'll see. If I do, I[m pretty sure the name will be something along the lines of "Nothing can be too sweet" 🤣
I decided I would buy Fireball at the same time I can find the new Fireball Small Batch aged for under $20. And then blind them, see which one I like better, not having tried either.
I said it went back and forth. I just did a blind tonight heads up and C923 did win over B524, it was sweeter, though B524 was spicier (prev blinds usually have 4). I'll try again in a few weeks and report back if things change back.
Thanks for the suggestion! Last week I got the 2023 Laphroaig Cairdeas in white port and madeira. I did like it more than the Lagavulin 16! At 104.6 proof, the Cairdeas had a nice hit of alcohol right at the moment where I might find the palette most objectionable. The finish was sweet with a touch of spice from the proof.
Are you, by chance, from the New England or east coast part of the country? My theory is that people from that part of the country don't like the minerals in the Midwest water....at least not as much as in their native area. I'm from Arizona, and I quite enjoy their offerings and others from that area. I don't, however, love the Pennsylvania area etc. Who knows? This is anecdotal, as I've only studied my groups out here ;)
@@mrfuriouser My theory is that the Traverse City bourbon is being aged in Michigan, a colder climate, so it's aging slower. I have store picks of both their bourbon and rye and they taste young to me. However, infusing it with cherries... that works pretty well for me!
Yes, I agree, but isn't it just INSANELY "super mid"? A lot of people online are arguing whether a bourbon is worth more than $100, and I kind of put my money where my mouth is and went, bought, and opened over 200 bottles, haha. By my calculation, that is over $10k in open bottles, and no BTAC, Willet, Michter's, to be seen. I'm not against those bottles at all, but I'm not going to blow my budget on them in the secondary vs experiencing what's on the market today. We're living in the golden age of bourbon and I intend to enjoy it. When it all comes crashing down, those BTAC bottles will survive and still be there waiting for me. I don't need to be in a hurry to get to them. Cheers!
2 years isn’t much experience. After 10 years Alex will realize sweetness isn’t the be all end all. He will appreciate more subtle and complex expressions. And that is when Scotch comes into the picture. Like a child who loves to eat only candy versus an adult who loves more variety and complexity in food
Possibly. But I'm turning 50 next year and still would love to eat only candy and my food is neither varied nor complex: bacon, steak, chicken, sausage, porkchops, cheese, and eggs.
It’s true that @alexanderlai9160 visits 3 Binny’s a day! Saw him @ the parking lot of the Lincoln Park Binny’s today! Cool guy. Guessing you do LP, Lakeview and South Loop? I’ll see you around!

Never heard that line, but now I'm going to use it!
