It's been a while but I'm back!...And this time with a lady (I had to pay her a ton of money for this appearance)...
I really wanted to like this more, but perhaps this barrel was a miss...Have you had a good or just ok experience with Evan Williams Single Barrels lately?
Glad the algorithm showed me this. Y’all have “it.” The looks, timing, unsaid things, and interaction between y’all are pure gold. Keep up the amazing content!
Let's be honest, the best part of your channel is your wife.
Keep up the good work Just Kyle.
Two thumbs up for high quality wife eye rolls and sass. Came for the honesty, stayed to watch people smell. Recommend. 😄
Love the addition of your wife. This gives a great perspective for the casual drinker, and she's funny!
Evan Williams SB used to available everywhere. It then became Kentucky only a few years ago. Now I guess it's
back. Just picked one up today in Wisconsin.
Your wife's raw honesty adds great humor.
The masses of people come here for honesty 😂. Love it!
Love the dynamic between you two - would certainly keep these kind of videos coming.
Her eye rolled and her searching for another bottles during the last few minutes. Hilarious!!
Fantastic! Gotta bring back the lady for future vids. Great vibe!
The quirkiness between you to is hilarious! I loved it! Looking forward to seeing more from ya'll!
I was SO stoked when I found out that EW SiB Vintage was going to be widely available again! I had the 2013 - was able to grab the last two off the shelf two years ago before it was relegated to "Distillery-only" status. Ran right out and grabbed a bottle: Bottled 1/6/2015, Barrel no. 350, Bottled 2/15/2024.
Had some last night. Love it! This is one of my favorites from any distillery, of any proof, in any price range. At under $30, it's a keeper.
So, here's the deal, you're absolutely a breath of fresh air! on UA-cam no less! Most whisky 🥃 and bourbon vids R kinda so-so at best, you know-- blah blah blah ❤❤🤣Keep up the funny and informative 🎮 Cheers from ETn Smoky Mtns area 🍺🥃
I only subscribed because your wife is keeping it real here.
Damn, she’s got this dude by the balls. You go Bossy Lady!
"I can't believe there's people that are gonna watch us... smell... this liquid."
Yes... yes we are, and I'm sold.
Yoooooo! Just found one today in Faribault! $35 out the door. 2015 vintage, barreled on 1-6-15, barrel 361, bottled on 2-16-24. It’s definitely back. Last one I have bunkered was 2013 vintage. And hey, I’m also married to a MN girl, Godspeed to all of us. 🤣
Saw these on the shelf in Tennessee and Georgia last week so glad I passed on it and got some other stuff. Nice review looking forward to more videos hopefully in the near future.
I picked up a bottle in MA last month. It was worth the 32.99 price tag but much more. I enjoy your channel because you guys review both bourbon and scotch snd I enjoy both. Soooooo many bourbon channels rag on anything non bourbon.
I love Evan Williams, it’s the whiskey for the ordinary bourbon drinker. ❤ heaven hill is a great distillery
Tasting notes 📝 you gave are awesome! Made me smile this morning 😂
Really enjoyed the video. I'm also in MN and these have just started popping up again. They've been gone a few years and I believe this is a limited run outside of KY. I picked one up and it's a nice one to kick off the evening. Barrel #365 is what I have and obviously crushes #260. ha ha New subscriber, cheers!
Kaylin is the best!! Not an ounce of whiskey snob in her. Love her nose and tasting notes. Tells it straight. Very entertaining!
Love Kalyn’s debut! Hope she sticks around. 🥃
I'm here as a duly appointed representative of the masses. SD chapter. GL with your channel.
Love sharpie markers comment. You two are hilarious. Subscribed
“The Tire Fire” has got to be Malort. That is a perfect description for it
Just stumbled on this video. Yes, it went away for a couple of years, but now it's back. This is actually the whiskey that started my love for bourbon and funny enough the only bourbon that my wife will drink neat. Cheers.
I always get that bottle in Puerto Rico… your wife face expressions are hilarious! Love it!
The 2013 vintage from 3 years ago was the last nationwide distribution. The marker notes do happen in some Heaven Hill barrels. It's common. Single barrels are often a gamble.
we just pick up a bottle at our local costco for 24 buck's . barrel number 414 barreled on 1-6-15 . bottled 2-29-24 . looking to do a first sip short this weekend .cheers
i'm actually quite impressed with this 2015 vintage, 32 bucks, easy summer sipper, 9 years old. ill be stocking up for summers. barrel 538 here
Oh for sure, it's perfectly fine! I just think I had high expectations given all the hype, but certainly not a bad everyday pour 🥃
Just found your Channel. Subbed and Liked. I just started my channel back in November. Love having my wife involved on the Channel, she has joined me on 4 videos and hope to have her back for more.
Great stuff. Glad I found you guys. I’m in MN too
You're wife is the BEST bourbon reviewer EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
A few years ago it was available in stores on a regular basis.
If your wife ever plays "Never have I ever" with some folks and someone says, "Never have I ever drank something that smells like sharpie and burning tires" you know she would win!
You two are pretty fun to watch and always make the wifey and me smile....the EW SiB Vintage IMHO would be better at a higher proof point say 101 at least, all the hints of a great nose and pallet are there but lost at the lower proof to me.
Second comment - she drank it without making a face. I can’t even get my wife to smell whiskey without making a face.
hahahah! that was awesome. I love cork pops for I felt the pain! Cheers guys!
I just got one today here in Maryland. Barrel 405. Let you know what I think. Give me a.
I'm sure someone has said this but Evan William Single Barrel used to be distributed to multiple states but they stopped about 3 or 4 years ago. This year they released it to multiple states again but it is a limited run. Supposedly, what is out in the wild is all that they will be distributing outside of KY... for now.
It's not great so we aren't really missing much. Costco has had it for $28 in my area and for that price... yeah its a nice to have. Looks great unopened and it's a decent enough pour.
Also... at Evan William Experience in Louisville KY it's like $52. Never buy a regular bottle at the Evan Williams Experience in downtown Louisville. Only buy Distillery Exclusives in their gift shop.
These need to be in the 92-96 proof . It would be way better .
It use to be my go to when I lived in San Diego. It was the only bourbon on my shelf I'd let guests make cocktails with, because it was about $28. Then things got crazy in the whiskey world.
I just found your channel today and after watching a few videos I have to say that your wife's chaos compliments your order. Your varied palates provide a much more complete experience in the review as her straight forwardness balances well with your more verbose take. Spirits should always be shared and I think it would be a shame not to do so with your lovely wife.
Great review.
Yo where'd you get the cool lighted bottle stand?!
Used to have this even over here in Europe, but then it changed to Kentucky-only... but maybe this has changed again.
Still not back here in my neck of the woods. I have a 2010 version. It is good, but not not great, pretty easy drinking.
Btw bring the wife in more, you guys are super together.
Best regards from Denmark 🙂
Good description by the wife 👍🏾
No your mother was in Kentuc.... oh no wait we're not doing that huh? Glad to see people try it and not be completely enamored.
I do have a question if you don’t mind. I also have a whiskey channel and do video editing. What camera are you using and software if you don’t mind? Love your zoom angles.
Just a good ol' iPhone 15 Pro and Final Cut Pro.
@@otbwhiskeyo ok I got both. Need to learn more . Now subscribed
“PEOPLE COME HERE FOR HONESTY.” Stick with that. Y’all also have a wide variety of whisk(e)y to go through, and I’m sure her palate will adjust to what she likes. Hopefully she ends up a whiskey gal. UA-cam algorithm worked its magic on this one. Great video.
good luck with your channel
Great job
Here before yall blow up to 100k 🥃
Another Minnesota whiskey channel? 🤔
Yes EW SiB was Kentucky only starting in 2022. Started showing up again this year with no announcement apparently. Which was good in a way. The bottles got to the shelves without getting cleaned out by flippers right away.
I picked up two bottles of EW SiB in the La Crosse area about six weeks ago. It's very much like Old Grand-Dad Bonded/114 to me. Cinnamon forward with caramel, vanilla, oak and some brown sugar. I like single barrel offerings. You never get the same experience twice. Yeah it can leave you with not so good bottles sometimes but hey! That's part of the adventure!
MN, huh? Cool. Me too. That EW has been available in Rochester for several years. ...6 or 8, anyway. And I agree, it's underwhelming.
This is so awesome. ❤ funny videos.
Well I have one from before they pulled it from the shelves so I’ll compare it to the new one. I do remember the single barrel from Evan Williams be a little thin tasting.
If I see this at my local LS, I will grab a bottle.
I came for the whisky, staying for the dry humor
Been Kentucky only for 3-4 years. California got. 600 case allocation this year.
I learned more about marriage than ewsb in this video 😂😂
Hit the nail on the head with the Heaven Hill Sharpie marker note. This is a well-known and common nose off of their products.
Sadly it became an only Kentucky avaliable release recently. I used to get them here in Arizona 12-14 years ago. As recently as 4 years ago they would be on grocery store shelfs at Frys/Kroger...not any more though. They were always a hidden cheap single barrel bottle
lol, I have a good friend who comes over and I put different pours in front of him. He says every one of them smells like sharpies.
In my experience, the EW single barrels improve significantly after about 6 months of being opened.
Yeah it's alright, nothing crazy standard entry level pour 🥃
How can I say with all due respect that having your wife involved was the best decision you’ve made since marrying her? This should be taken as a great compliment.
All the views this video has! Who would have known all the people interested in Evan Williams Single Barrel. 😄
Is it Kay and then the Lane abriviation of LN?
Sounds like this would be really good with some more proof. And not offense to Dustin but Kalyn adds something awesome to the channel.
Ive been drinking Evan Williams Single Barrel in N.C. for several years,love it.
just showed up in Ma on shelves too
Keeper!!
Your wife was looking around like "how much money have you been spending on this?" lol Hilarious. My gf has been equally supportive with my addiction.. eerr, i mean, hobby.
Great production and video. Cheers
I drain poured the last ⅓ of my bottle after I couldn’t force myself to drink anymore.
Bourbon flavored water. It's one of those bottles that doesn't live up to the hype.
It was regularly available years ago. Then it was pulled from the shelves and a distillery exclusive. Then it came back this year across the US but was more money. Seems like there is a lot of BS on the label. The wife’s eye rolls etc are precious.
This was available back in 2011-2012 in Florida. $27 bottom shelfer. Hilarious the hype it got when it went kentucky only. I think they used to be 10 year age stated too. Had three never liked em.
Too funny! 😂😂😂
It's a decent budget bourbon
How did you get your wife interested in whiskey? Asking for a friend.
Great job! I agree that bottle is incredibly bland and underwhelming
You married up a level up or two. That's for sure :)
I’m also a math-magician 🧙♂️
everyone is comming out now with single barrel... and some are... bad ... real bad..
I bought this bottle a couple times a few years ago and it was boring!!!
😂😀😂
With the amount of times you interrupt your wife, you must be a trying husband. 🙂
First time seeing the channel. Keep the wife definitely on. Shes the only reason I stopped to watch.
The background music is a liability. Cheers!
How so?
@@otbwhiskey distracting and quite frankly not pleasant. It detracts from your overall presentation. To each their own but I’d ditch it.
Being a musician myself, I prefer it but I always appreciate the feedback. Cheers!
@@otbwhiskey maybe just adjust the volume slightly. I never notice music on other whiskey channels but there is some. It’s just softer.
@@peterprescott4136 Actually now that you point that out I’m noticing some really odd compression happening with this particular video…The original video file on my computer does not sound like this uploaded version. Perhaps youtube added some sort of auto audio enhancement or something? I have no idea. Will definitely pay close attention to that on the next one though 👍🏻
This is Meh, the proof is to low or something. The Jim Beam black 7 year at 90 proof is leaps and bounds better.
Its not good. Its not worth $30
Great for the proof for sure. One of my favorite starters before Livestreams. It was available everywhere until a couple of years ago. They pulled it back to Kentucky only” then hey, guess what it gets released back out every again for a limited time and the secondary market goes crazy and changes $50+ for a $25 bottle of bourbon. I do really like it but it still a $25 bottle. Great channel guys! Cheer’s! 🥃🪓
Great content! You should blind this against Old Forester 86.
