This is one of the reasons I love you guys. You are not afraid to tell your opinion. The other reason is, you guys explain how you get your bottles. There are so many wiskey tubers that have stuff sent to them just to review and that's bull. There are a lot of people our there hunting for stuff and not funding and for someone to sit in there basement or where ever and have bottles sent to them isn't rite. I get it's free marketing for the distillery but come on, you guys are about the only whiskey tubers I watch now. Keep it up
Agree the woodford is just ok, not worth the price. Rebel just ok. Personally haven’t ever liked Larceny.
For me, it's pretty much anything and everything from Brown Forman.
I suspect that they share the same yeast strain across all of their different distilleries, because they all have some kind of banana note that I just do not like at all.
Same with Barton/1792
I totally agree with this statement.
I haven’t had a pour of Woodford anything that I’ve liked.
Ben Holliday is C whiskey…pretty good craft
Completely agree on the Ben H.
I had high expectations based on other reviews, but it's just ok at best.
Ben Holladay Soft Red Wheat is fantastic. I've got the BiB version and a single barrel. The single barrel is absolutely next level. Fanfriggintastic.
Town Branch and its not even close! Have to disagree with you on your choices though.
Holladay is pretty good. Seriously need to try rickhouse bottles and one barrel bourbon bottles from them. It can go head to head with most of your faves in some blinds. May not win but it may finish higher than expected.
Sagamore Rye, just can’t get into the straight rye
Great list! I was saying them before you pulled them out....
I think Dickel 8 year is one of the best $30 bourbons. Good sweetness and oak with a lingering finish. Nicely balanced with no unpleasant notes. Love it.
Do you taste the mineral taste that other people get? I think that's what stops people the most
@@micahroth4858 I don't taste it at all in this bottle, but I do in the 13 year bottled in bond. It doesn't bother me one bit.
Woodford Barrel Proof has been a disappointment. My buddies swear by it, I don't get it.
Can’t agree on the Holladay… I find it very comparable to HH BiB. 🤷🏽♂️
Don’t take this the wrong way, there isn’t much of the Woodford Barrel Batch proof left, having said that, luckily the Woodford Double Oaked is good😁!! I’ve never had Dickel anything because none of the bourbon reviewers I watch on UA-cam like it , I’m afraid to buy any Dickel.
The one Dickel I tried was a gift. The 15 year I believe. I've only had one pour. The Flintstone vitamins note is real! It scared me away. I should probably try the bottle again.
@@mattschmitt9924 My experience with Dickel is that if I drink it 1st, that weird note doesn't stick out as much. But if I drink it after something else, then it is kind of unpleasant.
Just something to think about trying out when you do decide to go back to it, of course you mileage may vary
I enjoy their BiB... sometimes.
I can't stand Old Forester 86, Russell's Reserve, Bardstown Bourbon Company or Basil Hayden. Others that I hate include Taconic, Calumet, and Hillrock
Holliday I just don't like. Also, I've realized that anything MGP makes that is bourbon, I can't stand (Smoke Wagon, etc) ... their ryes are awesome, though. I actually rather like the 13 year old Dickel bourbon.
Crown Royal Blackberry SUCKS, reminiscent of Cough syrup
I also get an off-putting note from Dickel products (except the rye, which they source from MGP). I liken the note to a metallic limestone. Oddly, I got the same note from an Augusta Distillery Old Route 8 bottle I bought last Fall.
Great review! I'd say on the Rebel, the good one is the Small Batch Reserve. On the Woodford, the higher proof versions are good from 2023 and 2024. I get a JD nose though.
Rebels that have a carmel thing going on, are good to me. The spicy ones are a pass for me. Their small batch reserve is pretty decent. That’s just me.
I'm with you on the Ben Holiday BIB, not my jam. Although, I really did like the soft red wheat. Still haven't tried either rickhouse proof option, though.
Outside of that, I'd say 1792 as a whole falls very low on my preference list.
Nap time... so i turned this on 😪
OF1910, it is essentially burnt sugar.
4Roses SiB, it is so bad, I can't bring myself to buy anything else from 4 Roses.
That's pretty much my lost. I am not going to run out and buy anything from Willet or Dickel, but neither are overly offensive to me.
Dickel is just does not have anything I enjoy so far. My 13 yr BiB sits on shelf and only gets drunk as a sample swap or s guest wants to try it. Haven’t opened my Dickel 15 yr store pick from a few years ago since never had one I liked (was a friend’s store so bought it supporting him)
Woodford batch proof and masters series I like but won’t buy as they are not worth half their cost. Every time my group blinds one of them it comes in last and normally by a big amount. It is good by itself just overpriced but when compared to other bottles does not hold up.
I like Ben Holloday but not a go to pour. Only have the 6 yr BiB and just bought the Soft Red Wheat.
The one I don’t like that everyone seems to love is Evan Williams BiB. Sure a good mixer But so it almost every other bourbon. The EW BiB is just ethanol forward trash to me. Like the EW 1783 for a budget pour.
Elijah Craig Toasted, still Austin, Isaac Bowman. I will pass on all of them. Still on fence about Woodford BPs.
It seems fairly universal from what I have seen across the whiskeyverse, and I am in agreement, that the Ben Holladay wheater is significantly better than the rye. You have the rye there. Furthermore, the barrel proof of the wheater (which they call rickhouse proof) is the best offering. I will make the claim now that you will agree once you try it. It's been compared to Full Proof, which it's not quite there in my opinion. But hey, it's also not $200+.
Old Town BiB is to WFE purple as BT is to Stagg imo and afaik. Same profile, maybe just a little younger, less proof and not a select barrel. I like it for a cheap good pour or in an old fashioned. And I like Pure Ky neat as a good bang for buck Willett pour. But like the WFE 4yr rye, people love or hate it.
I love listening to like this . I’d like to add mine …..I know it will be very unpopular , but I don’t like Russel’s 10 year . Just not my jam .
Great channel… I appreciate your insights. You seem like regular dudes. One thing, from a production standpoint, a bit to much light on the left side (or on the right side of the face of the guy who talks the most) sorry I don’t know your name.
Agree on Ben holladay and disagree on rebel cask depending on who picks it.
I don’t like Henry McKenna 10 or heaven hill 7yr bib and everyone loves those!
For me it's Woodinville and Elijah Craig small batch.
I agree on EC. I tried and I just don't get the hype.
I thought I was the only one who doesn't care for EC small batch.
@@davidteller7681you are not alone
Dido. I was reluctant to comment. It’s not bad but like the guys say, it just misses.
EC Small Batch had a 12 year age statement until 2016 or so. The mash bill was meant to be aged for at least 12 years. The mash bill just does not work on a 5 or 6 year old bourbon.
I miss the good old days. Austin Nichols WT 101 had an 8 year age statement when I was in college. My first several bottles of Bookers were distilled under the supervision of Booker Noe.
Definitely feel the same about a lot of these. I do kind of like the BH rickhouse proof options although I have to be in the mood for them. I think the main thing I haven’t loved that others seem to love would be Barrell Seagrass and Dovetail. Maybe it was just me that day, as we were at a whiskey festival and had tried a lot of things up to this point, but it definitely didn’t hit the mark for me. I always give things a couple chances though so both will likely get sampled again at some point.
For me, the Hard Truth four grain bottled in bond bourbon is not drinkable. I see people rave about it, and to my palette, it's just harsh and extremely bitter. My daughter and my brother both got the same thing from it.
That Old Bardstown Bottled In Bond is too harsh for me. Stuff from Willett is so hit and miss. I would just get a spare bottle since it is (was?) Kentucky only. I am on the hunt for Rebel Cask Strength. I like the Rebel 100, though.
The Dickel bourbon is ok, but not spectacular. I'm not even sure if it's still hyped...
AND I have a bottle of the Holladay, but haven't cracked it open yet (got it Sept 2022)
Cool video!
Can’t really say I’d disagree with any of your choices. Other then the Woodford, I don’t any of those bottles on hand
Barrel Ambrosia finish….yucky…that stuff is terrible to me dude!
That Rebel, in an old fashion, is fire! Just something about that funky wheat that is great.
I’m from Tennessee, so I REALLY want to like Dickel, but so far…no.
You two liked the Prideful Goat bourbon and i cant stand it. It has some kind of weird funk on the back end that makes it almost a drain pour.
and I agree about Ben Holladay . . . I really wanted to like it but . . . no way.
Ppl. Hate on Dickle, but they sure sell ALOT of it 🤔
Do you guys like dickel 17/18 yr? If so is it worth the price?
I like Old Forester 1910 don’t care for 1920…
Overrated bottles for me: Michters 10, Jack Daniels 12.
Ive had both of these multiple times at bars and everytime theyre just mid. I'd prefer a good JD pick or Sinatra Select over the 12, and for Michters its just empty to me... I encourage you to blind it with Eagle Rare and see what happens. Michters Barrel proof on the other hand is probably one of the most underrated bottles imo
Whew...with you on the Old Bardstown...recently got the Old Bardstown Estate bottle...same flavor as the Willet Pot Still...something off with those...same taste to me. I do like the 8 YR Dickel though...and the Dickel BIB...thankfully I don't get the mineral (Flinstone's vitamin) taste or smell that a lot have mentioned. I was very excited to try the Ben Holladay Soft Red Wheat BIB...was disappointed actually.
Oh no I really like that rebel SB cask strength 😂
You guys miss it on Rebel Cast Strength. Good juice!
I just got a bottle of Ben Holladay One Barrel and imo it is better than the BiB.
Balcones Texas Rye has a deep dark chocolate on it that I love. Still Austin has something in their mashbill that makes it taste very hoppy and sour to me.
It says willet on bottomso it isssss trash
Not a fan of any Woodford products 😕
My rebel bottle cs bp is great, lots of caramel, but need to find another
I have to agree with the Holliday comment. I thought there was something wrong with me. Everyone loves it but haven’t found one that’s just not too grainy
I liked the 118 pf WRBP 😁
I have a store pick on the Rebel Cask - fantastic juice.
Hot take..... I think OGD114 is gross
Wouldn't drink any of those either.
How does one politely tell another they are wrong when debating a matter of opinion? You are wrong! Holladay BIB is objectively good bourbon.
About like that lol.
Have you tried OLD BOURBON COUNTY SINGLE BARREL CASK STRENGTH? It is very good.
We haven't
I usually like wheated bourbons but the Ben Holliday red wheat is not drinkable at all and I won’t bother trying anything else from them
I've only had the rickhouse proof soft red wheat and it is a banger! Clove and nutmeg bomb. I'm not a fan of those spices in baking, but it comes across nicely in the pour. I'll be picking up the BIB soon. I am from MO so I may be a bit partial.
My list is: Regular Blanton’s, Eagle Rare, Blue Note Uncut, 1792 Full Proof, Weller Special Reserve, and Makers Mark Cask Strength. I wouldn’t mind seeing you guys trash some bottles that you really don’t like!
Damn the Ben Holiday is freaking good boys! Never had the Dickel Bourbon… But the Dickel BIB is $$$$
Have to agree on the Dickel 8 year. The finish on it is just odd. I wasn't a fan of the Ben Holliday Soft Red Wheat and now have little hope for the BH Bottled in Bond that I've yet to crack open. I just got a Rebel single barrel on clearance for like 25 bucks because Major Xero likes it so if it sucks then I am not gonna be too pissed.
Been tempted to try Rebel CS but passed. I bought into the hype, Ben Holladay BiB is ok, if it was $30-40 but at $60 it's not again for me.
Totally agree on the Dickel. I purchased it due to the low price and 8yr age. It's just awful. Even when I mixed into a cocktail I couldn't mask it's unpleasant, wet newspaper note.
Anything "Basil Hayden"...I just can't get the stuff down.
Your palates are definitely different than mine. I have only had one Rebel CS and it was really good. On the other hand, I have never had a 4 Roses or Old Forester that did much for me, even though I have tried several. We do share some common ground on the Woodford and Ben Holladay, however.
Frey Ranch is one that I just don't like, that everyone else seems to love. I have had three different bottles now, and I haven't liked a single one. Haven't tried the Holladay stuff yet, but I do plan on picking one up eventually.
Coopers craft 100 for me is a miss people love it but I’m not a fan of it I mean it’s not a bad bourbon don’t get me wrong I don’t hate it but I just don’t get why everyone is so crazy about it??
My list includes Old Ezra 7, Disco 9, Barrel Batches in general, Woodford Double Oak & Still Austin
Dickle 13yr bib is pretty good imo. Only 45$ in my area
Nailed it on the Ben Holiday. I tried to like it myself, just couldnt.
I definitely agree with you on the Woodford and the Ben Holladay BiB! I don't like anything Amburana finished!
I guess we have the same palates, I agree completely with you guys
I did not like the new Jim Beam 7 that everyone is raving about.
Agree 100%. That stuff is just bad.
Bourbon Junkies hated it. Dan even spit it out.
I think the Rebel tastes like mouthwash.
Just got a bottle last week. Plan to crack it open soon. Definitely heard mixed reviews so far, but that's the nature of single barrels.
