We’re really loving your stuff. It’s so refreshing to have a nice, quiet channel where the education is emphasized. Keep it up, man! 👍
Thanks Brad! Thanks Bob! I appreciate the support. I'm just getting started. Much more to come. Cheers!
Criminally underrated youtube channel, keep it up my guy!
Thanks Eddie's Edits! I've been on UA-cam for less then a year so hopefully the channel will catch on soon. I like the trajectory the channel is on right now. Fingers crossed it continues to head in that direction. Cheers!
I'm migrating into wheat bourbons, from scotch or whiskey. I find they have more flavor, less bite, delightful nose. My rankings are fluid but current favorites from your selections are Redemption, Larceny, and Makers. Old Elk is pricey here, beyond my budget.
I found that wheated bourbons have a "softer" feel on the palate and that's a good thing for me sometimes.
Thank you for the recommendations!
I was just over in California and picked up the Bardstown Bourbon Company Origin Series (it is not distributed in Arizona) 68% corn, 20% wheat, and 12% malted barley and it blew me away. If you can get it in your market I would highly recommend it. Probably my new favorite wheated bourbon. Cheers!
@@whiskeyisajourney I’ll pick it up. I got the Wyoming recommendation and love it. I am just starting our in Bourbon but it’s strong and delicious. How should one move up the Proof ladder or ranks? I am excited to try the cask strength bourbons but I don’t want to get turned off by the high proof.
@@Elricky124 time. It takes time for your body to get used to the proof. It's different for everyone. There's a "ABV wall" you need to break through. Once you break through that wall it opens up so many different flavors. I truly did not appreciate the taste of bourbon or whiskey for that matter until I was able to break through my ABV wall. It's a game changer. Just be patient. You'll get there!
Absolutely wonderful lineup Peter.
My go to wheated Bourbon is the Wyoming Whiskey DOUBLE CASK. It's a stunner at 50% ABV and finished in PX casks..!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. 🥃
All Weller expressions are ridiculously overpriced in SoCal. Even the low end Special Reserve sells for over $100.
Currently, I am obsessed with the Old Elk Double Wheat. I have only seen the Wyoming Whiskey Small Batch and the Single Barrel. The Double Cask sound delicious. I'll keep an eye out for it. Weller is out of control as is most Buffalo Trace products. Thanks Lorenz! Cheers and have a great weekend!
I just got the double cask last week and I agree. Love the dark, raisiny fruit notes and it’s not too sweet.
@@whiskeyisajourney My go to OLD ELK is their 100 proof Straight Rye Whiskey..!!! WOW..!!!
@@lyacoubian I've seen it. Have not had it yet.
Great video Peter!! I haven’t gotten too deep into wheated bourbons so great info!
Wheated bourbon is interesting and wheated whiskey is even more interesting. I'll be introducing some wheated whiskey next month in part 2. As always Kevin, thanks for the feedback. I appreciate the support.
I really enjoy watching your content and the journey you are on. Very insightful. Great work 👏🏽 Looking forward to watching many more of these. Cheers 🥃🥃
Thank you so much Ketul Shah. I appreciate the feedback and support. There is certainly much more to come. Cheers!
Thank you Peter! Excellent. Was watching Stuff and Whiskey and they gave you a shout, many thanks for that. Really like your style and education focus, perfect. Immediate subscriber, look forward to dropping in again 👊
Thanks Mark. I really appreciate the support. It means a lot. Josh and Erin are great. They were one of the first channels I started to watch when I got into whiskey.
Amazing video. I love all types of bourbon, but wheated bourbons have always had a special place on my shelf. They rarely disappoint
Couldn't agree more! I like just about everything about them. Cheers!
I have have all those except the Wyoming. I love Nine Banded and the Maker's 46 French Oak
I keep seeing the Nine Banded, but keep passing it by. I'll give it a shot next time I'm out. Thank!
Thank you for the reviews. I can’t afford buying all the different wheat bourbons. You help me choose the bourbons to try
Happy to have helped. Cheers!
Just discovered MMRK and absolutely love it...coming from scotch it is very nice...
I like it as well. It's a good offering that can bridge the gap between scotch and bourbon.
Just found your channel! Honestly just began my bourbon journey last year. Have tried the makers 46, and really liked it. Redemption & old elk are on my list to try! My benchmark bourbon is Wild Turkey Rare Breed, not quested, but man it’s good stuff!
Rare Breed is up there with me as well. Old Elk Double Wheat is in the running for my whiskey of the year 2023. Double Wheat will make an appearance in the wheated video.
Great video!
Thanks! Cheers.
Great video, Peter! Really enjoying this series and your insights! That is a great list. I’ve only ever had the Larceny, Makers 46, and Weller 107. All three are great bottles. As I thought about it, 5 wheaters with this criteria is tough! Looking forward to the next series…curious if we’ll see Larceny Barrel Proof or some of the higher proof Makers products. Appreciate what you are bringing to the community!
Yes. You will definitely be seeing Larceny Barrel Proof and Maker's in the next part of this series. Thanks RHayes! Cheers.
Another great video. Personally never separated wheated bourbon from the rest. That being said, Makers 46 is one of my favourites. Still looking for Wellers 107. Hope you get to 2k subs, Peter, you deserve it! My 6th special bottle would be Rabbit Hold, Cavehill, but I'm not sure of the mash bill.
Thank you Glenn. If you see Weller 107, don't overpay for it. Prices are ridiculous. Fingers crossed hitting 2K. Thanks and cheers!
Bourbon, Scotch, Irish, so far I've enjoyed everything with added sweetness. Natural fruit spirits like Wine, Tequila, and Gin? No siree. Definitely prefer wheat over rye, though I take my coffee black so who knows.
I'm a fan of wheat over rye as well.
I was sold a bottle of Weller Special Reserve to start my whisky journey (the bottles of Jack downed during college don't count) so Weller has always held a special place for me. I picked up a bottle of 107 before I could really appreciate what I had. I'm now looking for it again, but you're right, it's impossible to find. It's one of the few bottles I would overpay for.
I have about 1/3 of my bottle of 107 left. I'm happy I got the bottle, but I'm not happy with the price I paid for it. Won't be doing that again. Emotional bonds with certain bottles make them taste better 🙂
Larceny, Makers 46, Wellers(green label), Wilderness Trail wheated, Redemption wheated
I'm starting to become a big fan of Wilderness Trail. They will be making an appearance in the next episode.
Hey how's it going? This is my first time here and I just subbed. I like how you deliver your thoughts on each bourbon in a conversational manner. I'm just developing my bourbon preference and this helped a lot. Would you think about doing a top 5 high viscosity Bourbons?
Let me look through my collection and see what I can come up with. If I can get 5 together I'll definitely throw it into the series. Thanks for the idea. I appreciate the feedback and the sud. Cheers!
Subscribed. Larceny and subsequently wheat in mash bills got me into whiskey. Kinda lost my appreciation for regular larceny but love the barrel proof versions. My special bottle would be ASW Fiddler Georgia Heartwood it’s my favorite Wheated Bourbon and overall whiskey. (I’m looking for something similar to its char profile if anyone has a recommendation)
Thanks for the support Antoine! I really appreciate it. I started to get acclimated to higher proof whisk(e)y about 6 months into my journey. Now, like you, I prefer them. I am obsessed with Old Elk Double Wheat right now. If you have not had it I would recommend it. Cheers!
Great channel and reviews. I would add Bardstown Origin Black Label wheater for $49.99 and Weller Special Reserve for $29.99.
Thank you Dave! Good choices. I do have a bottle of Weller Special Reserve, but it's allocated in Arizona and I have only seen it once in 1 1/2 years...so I left it off my list. Cheers!
Fray Ranch... Grown on the 160 year old family farm... Wheater... Grown, non GMO corn, Malted, distilled on site... Tasty
I am a big fan of Fray Ranch. In fact the Rye review is coming up soon. Unfortunately, I can't get the Wheated Whiskey in my stores so I will have to order it online. It's on my radar.
Good content, and just subscribed. looking forward to more.
PS - on that second bottle: 80% + 16% + 14% = 110% ... might it be 70% corn?
Correct. I either wrote it down wrong or just read it wrong. It is 70% corn. Thanks for the sub. Cheers!
Love bourbon. Not so much rye. Rye notes tend to taste like stale dark beer to me. Thanks for the info.
You are welcome. I'm not the biggest rye fan either.
Honorable mention, Castle and Key, think it's a distillery release only, and 60 plus, any of the Sellers at higher proof, Makers store picks
Maker's will show up again in another video. Thanks for all the comments John. I appreciate it.
Makers Mark 46 😋🥃but Antique 107 😍😋🥃
I agree! 107 was my first "OH WOW" whiskey.
I like Wheated Bourbons because they are easy to sip neat. I have tried three of the five on your list in this video.
I'm surprised by your Special Pour pick. I really like Weller S.R. I haven't tried the other Weller offerings but, on another channel the Whiskey Snob said that the Weller 107 was overrated and overpriced. Whiskey tasting and reviews are very subjective.
I will agree that it's over priced on the secondary market, but the flavor is good based on my taste. Like you said "whiskey tasting and reviews are very subjective"
I'm a big fan of the Woodford Wheat whisky. Would love to hear your thoughts on it. Cheers!
I have a part 3 wheated video coming out and Woodford Wheated will be included. Should be coming out at the end of May or the beginning of June. Cheers!
I prefer 46 to regular Maker's Mark. The cheapest I have seen Old Elk is $120.
I like the 46 as well and I prefer the Cask Strength 46 even more. IMO Old Elk is good, but 120 is pushing it over the amount I would pay for it.
If it ain't Kentucky, it ain't bourbon.
Noted, but not necessarily in agreement. And I am not judging your comment. You like what you like. Judgment free. Cheers!
72$ for a 5 year MGP?? FFFFFFF NOOOOO!!!!!!!!
I agree. Old Elk is overpriced.
