I have the 2XO Innkeepers blend and the GOK (GOK unopened until a special occasion). I feel like the Innkeepers blend is good but probably not worth $100, especially when compared to Peerless. Woodford DO and OF1910 are some good go-to double oak bourbons #SNEAKERHEAD
Yea woodford DO is one of my favs, It is what got me into old fashioned. I did a blind with the previous icon series and GOK. if you have not seen it, check it out. cheers and thanks
Great review. You get right to the point without 10 minutes of fluff. Very informative. New subscriber here.
Thanks for the sub! Hope you continue to enjoy. I also do lives and give away a lot of samples. cheers
Great review sir! My favorite double oaks would probably the 13th colony, peerless and the sagamore rye. Cheers Doc🥃
#sneakerhead
I still have not tried the 13th colony, and also the sagamore. (no excuse on the sagamore 🤣) but the peerless is a great one too. cheers
I enjoy all bottles of this series but this one falls 3rd out of 5 for me. Kiawah being best followed by Innkeeper. As far as pricing goes these would be better suited at $75. #sneakerhead.
crap @kngbllr805 just made me realize I don't have the Kiawah so not sure how that would rank for me. lol but I do agree $75 would be a much better price point. cheers
#SNEAKERHEAD Always, thanks Doc for the chance to win 🏆. My favorite DO is both the bourbon and rye from Peerless. Love what they do there. Great family story to bring it back. Cheers 🥃
hey thanks. those are great double oak for sure. cheers.
Great honest review Doc! I havent bought much of the 2XO and in my opinion it's overpriced. The Innkeepers is the last I bought and very good. Cheers! #sneakerhead
thanks I try my best. Innkeeper is good. cheers
Glad I came back, so incredibly sad that I missed the premiere... Watching this video alone in a hotel room is incredibly boring compared to saying cheers and good morning to everyone, while I start of my day correctly with one of your videos...
Welcome back! Sorry you are traveling, but I hope you enjoyed the video. cheers
I prefer the slender bottles... can fit more on a shelf. Yet know one reviews the density of bottle per shelf :P
that is a good point, I know I wish I could fit more bottles on the shelf. cheers
I bought the Innkeeper’s and thought it was ok. I’ve tried a couple over releases and haven’t been compelled to buy them. I passed on this one. An owner reached out to me.
Yea I can see why for the price you have not been compelled to buy them. Nice when an owner reaches out to you. means you have built up a good relationship. cheers
Have you had a chance to try 2xo kiawah blend? It's at my local store but hard to drop another $100 on a bottle that may be mediocre
so I thought I had, but apparently not. i was missing that one. sorry no help. cheers
Peerless, 1910, and NC local conviction do. Enjoy. #sneakerhead
I do enjoy the first two, but not lucky enough to try NC local conviction. cheers
#Sneakerhead. I have a bottle on order with a delivery date of mid-late October. 🥃
Nice!! can't wait to hear your thoughts. cheers
Really not sure why you publish premiers. It's a strange habit of small whiskey tubers. Just drop the content.
It allows people who enjoy our content to see when it will come out and join the premiere. I always have a few comments during the premiere that I am able to interact with. I hope this was helpful as to why even small whiskey tubers do premieres. cheers and have a great day
Really not sure why some people leave comments... It's a strange habit of people thinking that their opinion matters... Join the premiere and interact with the community or watch whenever you want to. The great thing is that you can watch content your own way... Good thing my opinion doesn't matter here either...
@@icemancantcook Agreed
Keep doing what you do Doc.
@@OldFashionedWaysKeep doing what you do Doc!
I liked the first 3 of the series, but just haven't been compelled to pick up the last 2. Like @RJR2222 says, I feel like these would be much more appealing at $75. Cheers Doc! #sneakerhead
Yep, I agree. cheers
