@@bobfarr8822 New Holland Brewing and Distillery out of Holland, MI does a couple, A Beer Barrel Bourbon that is finished in the casks from their own bourbon-barrel aged stout, Dragon's Milk, weird name, good stout. The also have a couple variations of their Zeppelin Bend, which is an American single malt. The Zeppelin Bend Reserve is finished in Sherry Casks. Then there is Two James Distillery in Detroit that have a collection of Whiskeys. Grass Widow Bourbon, Catcher's Rye Whiskey, and J. Riddle Peated Bourbon, 79% Corn, 21% Scottish Barley. The Peated Bourbon is on my shelf and may become a staple.
Bob Farr When I first started seriously delving into whiskey a few years back, I made it a point to start exploring my “local” distilleries. I’m sure there are still one or two more I haven’t discovered yet.
For cleaning Glencairns. Silicone baby bottle brush makes it super easy, and on the extremely rare case it manages to shatter anyway, your hand isn't inside the damn glass at the time, so at least there's that!
I’m lazy as all hell so I just swish scalding hot water around the glencairn with my hand capping the top of the gelncairn to prevent water going everywhere, nose the glencairn till no scent is present, then shock it with cold water if I intend to reuse it immediately, then dry with a microfibre towel like the kind you can get from autoparts stores in bulk.
When I was at the TC Whiskey Co. Distillery in mid July of 2019, they said this whiskey was bottled for the TC Cherry Festival of 2019. Half way through July, they had 9 cases left so I had to grab a bottle! It costed around $90. Just thought I would share. Cheers! 🥃
I like how my local store does special release whiskies. It's a raffle (for a chance to buy the whisk[e]y), but you don't buy tickets, you earn them through purchasing whiskey at the store throughout the year.
Just bought a bottle of this today. It is available only at the distillery or one of Traverse City Whiskey Outpost bars. The Outpost I bought mine from is in Ferndale, MI (near Detroit) and the other is in Traverse City. You can sample all the barrel proof offerings for $6 each . They also offer a barrel proof wheat whiskey, rye and a strait bourbon.
THANK YOU, gentlemen! I am very new to whiskey overall and bourbon in particular. My first taste of any whiskey occurred last year with Blanton’s (which, believe me, is saying something)... Wow. Can’t believe I’ve never tried anything before. Such a loss! I’m now a convert! Been watching your programs for a little while now and really am learning so much from you. So far I’ve tried Buffalo Trace, Blanton’s, Maker’s Mark, Four Roses (single barrel - yum!), John Bowman (small batch and single barrel - single barrel, wow...), and McKenna. I’m REALLY drawn to Blanton’s and Four Roses right now and of course Buffalo Trace is really nice. My next one to try was going to be Blade and Bow (trying to work my courage up to a stronger proof to experiment). So far I’m just trying one bottle at a time (rather than comparisons); however, I will undoubtedly try a bourbon bar at some point to do a bunch of side-by-side comparisons. Regardless, thank you for sharing your knowledge!! I have a question, though. If all bourbon is made in new charred oak, and I understand in the US there are two main suppliers, how is it if, all things being equal (same general mash bills no flavors added, same storage/curing, etc), why is there such a seemingly vast difference between “notes”? How is it some have “cherry notes”, while others more dominated by caramel, vanilla, etc? Other than the mash bills, what is the most important factor driving the development of these flavors beyond what is expected? Is it where the raw materials were originally grown (I.e. differing soil conditions between grain suppliers)? Thanks in advance!
How my local store does rare whiskies is it depends on how much you spend at the store. Like they had two bottles of pappies and for every a certain weekend every $20 you spent you get a raffle ticket for a chance to buy it at MSRP.
I use a baby bottle brush to clean my Glencairn glasses. The brush is narrow enough to fit inside the glass, and the bristles are soft so that it doesn’t scratch the glass.
Traverse City has some killer bourbon, beers and wines. The American Cherry edition is a staple for me. Dont forget the Marty and Rick Lagina wines as well!
Not all of the drawing charge to get in. It is just a way to register that you are interested in buying it. If you don't pick up, it goes to the next person. In my state, secondary sales are illegal, so the state holds the raffle as an equal opportunity to get the opportunity to purchase at retail prices.
Two good things here: 1) Baby bottle brushes are great for glencairn cleaning. Then rinse in a bath of hot water and air dry upside down. Perfect glassware each time. 2)Beard blowouts are a thing. Doesn’t have to be after the shower, just every couple of days. Blower in low, rollout with a round brush from the bottom up and rolling out. Run in some balm and brush with a regular beard brush. Look great. There are other YT videos on proper cleaning of bar glassware and beard blowouts you can watch, I won’t link them. Search is your friend.
The Glencairn crystal from Glencairn are, according to the company, dishwasher safe. I put mine in the top rack all the time. Their description: 6-3/4-Ounce Capacity Lead free crystal Tapering mouth allows an ease of drinking capturing the aromas on the nose. The wide bowl allows for the fullest appreciation of the whisky's color Dishwasher safe Perfectly styled for the fullest enjoyment of whiskey
Gotta say I love Oregon's system with those special bottlings...mostly. They have to be sold at rrp, it is first come first serve, and you can check the website to see when and at which liquor stores the bottles drop. On the other hand, that means people that work a job with clients they can't flex are stuck missing out sometimes on the day their prized thing drops.
It is usually not called a raffle but a lottery. Back when Michigan allowed lotteries, I won the chance to buy a bottle of my liquor store allocation from PVW. I picked up a bottle of PVW 15 for $95.
Traverse City Michigan is world renowned for its cherries. I live in Michigan have tried quite a few of there Rye's. They definitely use cherry's in most of the mashes. The cherry fruit roll up is spot on, you get it in most of this companies product.
What I think is happening is they are using barrels from other Michigan wine companies that make cherry wines and such.... I don't think it's legal to add cherries to a mash and still call it unflavored whiskey as cherries aren't a grain
@@XxPANCOTTOxX You may very well be right. I dont no enough about the process or whats is or isn't allowed in a mash. Im still learning & trying to educate myself on this process.
Use a baby bottle brush to clean a glencarin, get a 2nd brush with the sponge on the end to dry them. You can put aa microfiber cloth or paper towels on the end instead of a sponge.
Glencairn cleaning: Soak in your preferred cleanser (I use PBW) and then just put them in a drying rack, they air dry with no spots. If spotting is happening maybe you've got hard water? If airdrying takes too long, buy more glasses, a 6 pack should be about 35 dollars at a restaurant supply store, and they are solid glasses that can actually handle a lot of abuse.
Hair drier, low heat. Rise glasses immediately after using, keep wet or under water. Wash the way you do. Rinse well. Rinse again with distilled or reverse osmosis water that does NOT contain "minerals added for flavor". Hair drier ( extra no hair ).
My local whiskey store raffles off the premium bottle for the base bottle price. I cant remember last months bottle but it was over $200 for the bottle and he sold it for $39 to the winner. He does this once a month and every $20 you spend earns you one raffle ticket.
As for cleaning Glencairns, I just use regular Dawn soap and hot water. I know there are special wine glass cleaners (sold on the premise that lingering soap residue would break down the flavorful oils, and/or the lingering scents would mess with your ability to get the nose you want), but mostly that seems like parting money from people who have too much of it for their own good. Just rinse your glasses thoroughly and put them upside down on a drying rack and you're good to go.
I was looking for some Jefferson's Reserve Ocean, but I found Jefferson's Reserve finished in a rum cask instead. It was amazing! They also had a few finished in other casks. Looking forward to trying them soon!
The way I have solved the problem of cleaning whiskey glasses is to only drink from the bottle. It works so well, I totally recommend it to all single people who love whiskey!!!
Re: The Raffle - Total Wine & More does it right. They do exactly what Daniel suggested; Allow people to sign up and get notified when they are getting specials available for a chance to "pre-order" them. This is how I got the George T Stagg 2018 for only $140. 👍
Finally stepped out of my friendly whiskey comfort zone and got myself some Laproaig to try thanks to y'all, and i love it! I use to smoke a pipe and the peat smoke in it tastes just like Latakia smoked pipe tobacco. It's magnificent. Thank you for the inspiration fellas. Slainte! PS.. we wanna see Daniel blow dry his beard lol :-D
I throw my glencairns in the dishwasher. Never had any issues. They're just glass. If I break one I'll replace it, they're cheap enough, but I've never had any issues to this point.
Hey guys. I’m a new MB and only two months into my whiskey journey, but enjoying every minute of it. However , I recently found myself walking the aisles at a local large liquor store, and between the vast number of options and somewhat limited pocketbook I was having a hard time picking my next whiskey. With so many paths and a moderately novice pallet, any advice on picking my next bottle?
Every Rare/Allocated whiskey raffle I've been to the tickets were free. Depending on the number of whiskeys raffled the store may have given out more tickets for every day you came into the store or purchased store picks. But, Teeling 29 is a minimum for $2500. I'd be mad if it was Pappy 23 and they're marking you up 500%.
Hello Rex and Daniel from the uk. I have always been into whisky's and I have recently been experimenting with some different bottles than what you find in your supermarket on the middle shelf. I am still learning about picking up flavours and the smaller notes and I can say your videos have been an amazing help. However I do have a few questions that I would like for you to answer. 1. When you produce your bottles I would like to obtain one but I see that you dont post let alone to the uk, is this somthing that you will be looking into. 2. I have been looking into a trip to Austin for a wile and to find out that you are also based there its somthing that has now peaked my interest. Can you recommend anything to do alongside joining the tribe for a taste or 2. 3. I wouldn't mind helping you guys out on patron but once again the perks of it are limited due to geographical locations. 4. When will you be looking to do a tour of the uk distillers, I have seen that you have done Ireland but what about england and Wales as they also have plenty of distilleries to view.
The OLCC here in oregon does these raffles quarterly. The only real issue I have with their process is they allow people to opt out of having their name announced if they win. So no one knows if the same people are winning more often. I would like a little more transparency.
I plan to find the HIGH proof whiskey this year, I've noticed that I preference them and rarely do I find anything much higher than 50%. Looking forward to seeing if I can find some 60% gems this year. Also I should try and raid the Vault again... O_o
If you guys want to try another finished bourbon that smells and drinks waaaaay below its proof get dovetail batch 4. On the glencarin question, I opted for the Libbey bourbon trail glassware easier to clean and dry, and the larger opening means you don't have to stick your nose in the air when drinking 😆
I manage a Twin Liquors Here in Texas and while my store never gets the super rare we do get the occasional semi rare bottle or 2 allocated to my store.I've started doing drawings but i always word the the flier to state like this "Drawing such and such day to buy (typically) whiskey X for price Y please write you name and number legibly" and we dont gouge the prices for the drawing its the most democratic way i can think of going about it
I also have an idea for the resolution that you totally dropped the ball on. When you put a dram of the whiskey you are reviewing in a "bottle" also put a dram of the whiskey you compare it to in a separate "bottle" then compare the 2 at the end of the year.
Can you raffle store credit, and that store credit can only be spent on one bottle of whisky, and that one bottle of whisky is exactly the same price as the store credit you win?

Love to see so many Michigan whiskeys making an appearance on the channel!!!
i Know of the Traverse City whiskeys and the Journeyman whiskeys and I'm sure there are more
I live 35 minutes from Traverse City, know of the place, have yet to buy a bottle.

You Magnificent Bastarrrrrd!!!!
So very good!

Sitting here on a ski mountain in Bulgaria drinking a nice bottle of kavalan and enjoying another great review thank you...
Liked that you chose to compare to Angel's Envy port finish. It's my favorite port finish bourbon.
Love seeing my home town represented by solid whiskey!!! Side note, traverse City is known for cherries, so any cherry notes makes sence
As long as the raffle prizes are at MSRP then it's fair. It's when the raffle is at secondary prices is when the problem starts.
Awesome to see you guys review whiskey from my hometown!
I just turn my glencairn's upside down to dry... Works well enough for me.
I will search this stuff out. Traverse City is local to me. Ive had the regular TC Whiskey, but never the Port version.

Just started appreciating different whisky...I watch you guys and buy whatever you are reviewing... it's working well!
0:13 little did Daniel know how true this statement would be...
Yes! More port finishes. MOOOOREEE POOOORT 😍
Oh - also very interesting discussion of raffles 👍
Just tried four roses for the first time.. thanks for the tip
rinse with acetate, its what they do with lab beakers, its a high proof alcohol cleaner so it evaporates quickly without leaving residue or streaks
“In 2020 I’m gonna drink more whiskey”. 😂😂😂😂. Man you may be psychic.
I have a curly beard and when I straighten it I use a hair dryer and rounded brush also.
How to clean a Glencairn? Bottle brush. Go to the baby bottle section of the supermarket. Super easy.
Baby bottle brush works for cleaning any glass with a small opening.
"In 2020, I'm going to drink more Whiskey" If only you had known...
Hair drier, low heat.
Rise glasses immediately after using, keep wet or under water. Wash the way you do. Rinse well. Rinse again with distilled or reverse osmosis water that does NOT contain "minerals added for flavor". Hair drier ( extra no hair ).

Those pads for drying baby bottles, that look kinda like silicone grass, work great for drying glencairns
Year long blend? Do it, it was a brilliant idea!
I have a baker’s dozen Glencairns, and I wash them in my dishwasher on it’s crystal/china setting, and I’ve never had an issue.
I didn't drink a drop on New Year's Eve and now I'm watching whisky videos. I'm doing something wrong.
🙋😂😂😂

Yea, I had to order the Woodinville Port Cask online. Couldn't find it in ATX. Can't wait.
Y'all need to try all the Traverse City Whiskey's their Rye and Bourbon are amazing!
Guys you have already dropped the ball. What happened to putting together year long blend bottle? Bad start to the year.
This was likely recorded as part of the batch pre-New Year's
If y’all were paying attention, Daniel stated about a week ago after the video he is doing the blendageddon
I was looking for some Jefferson's Reserve Ocean, but I found Jefferson's Reserve finished in a rum cask instead. It was amazing! They also had a few finished in other casks. Looking forward to trying them soon!

I think Daniel frequents total wine so thats why he brought it up. I could be wrong
Happy New Years Guys...fyi...Traverse City is a world famous Cherry Capitol of the world...hece why you were picking up Cherry notes...
Finally stepped out of my friendly whiskey comfort zone and got myself some Laproaig to try thanks to y'all, and i love it! I use to smoke a pipe and the peat smoke in it tastes just like Latakia smoked pipe tobacco. It's magnificent. Thank you for the inspiration fellas. Slainte!
PS.. we wanna see Daniel blow dry his beard lol :-D
I use the hairdryer and roll brush as well. Works on the longer beards
FYI Daniel, doing the mitten sign with your left hand and bot pointing out where you are from gets you laughed at in MI.
I throw my glencairns in the dishwasher. Never had any issues. They're just glass. If I break one I'll replace it, they're cheap enough, but I've never had any issues to this point.
Rex/Daniel, I will be happy to help you with that beard episode. I've been blowing my beard for years!
Completely awesome video boys Happy New Year as always sending peace love and joy away happy drinking
Baby bottle cleaners work great to clean glencairns.
You can clean the glenn cairn with PBW. Works great
I totally thought Daniel was going somewhere else with that hairdryer admission. Ya know, his "other" beard.
Hey guys. I’m a new MB and only two months into my whiskey journey, but enjoying every minute of it. However , I recently found myself walking the aisles at a local large liquor store, and between the vast number of options and somewhat limited pocketbook I was having a hard time picking my next whiskey. With so many paths and a moderately novice pallet, any advice on picking my next bottle?
Hey Daniel! No shame in blow drying your beard! It works amazing on my beard
Every Rare/Allocated whiskey raffle I've been to the tickets were free. Depending on the number of whiskeys raffled the store may have given out more tickets for every day you came into the store or purchased store picks. But, Teeling 29 is a minimum for $2500. I'd be mad if it was Pappy 23 and they're marking you up 500%.
Might I suggest a bottle brush - for baby bottles.
Can you guys do a review of the Royal Salute 21y and The Arran Malt Côte-Rôtie Cask finish? Also what is your opinion on Whiskey Rocks?
for cleaning out small glasses/tubes, bottle brush is your friend.
Just won a raffle and won the right to buy the bottle it at retail cost. Weller CYOB
Hello Rex and Daniel from the uk.
I have always been into whisky's and I have recently been experimenting with some different bottles than what you find in your supermarket on the middle shelf. I am still learning about picking up flavours and the smaller notes and I can say your videos have been an amazing help.
However I do have a few questions that I would like for you to answer.
1. When you produce your bottles I would like to obtain one but I see that you dont post let alone to the uk, is this somthing that you will be looking into.
2. I have been looking into a trip to Austin for a wile and to find out that you are also based there its somthing that has now peaked my interest. Can you recommend anything to do alongside joining the tribe for a taste or 2.
3. I wouldn't mind helping you guys out on patron but once again the perks of it are limited due to geographical locations.
4. When will you be looking to do a tour of the uk distillers, I have seen that you have done Ireland but what about england and Wales as they also have plenty of distilleries to view.
The OLCC here in oregon does these raffles quarterly. The only real issue I have with their process is they allow people to opt out of having their name announced if they win. So no one knows if the same people are winning more often. I would like a little more transparency.
I plan to find the HIGH proof whiskey this year, I've noticed that I preference them and rarely do I find anything much higher than 50%. Looking forward to seeing if I can find some 60% gems this year. Also I should try and raid the Vault again... O_o
I also plan to drink more whiskey
Baby bottle rack for drying works great. Honestly though... just how dirty are your glasses getting?
The Dad's Hat port-finished edition is pretty great.
Please do bardstown fusion/discovery bourbon. Best bourbon out there imo
If you guys want to try another finished bourbon that smells and drinks waaaaay below its proof get dovetail batch 4. On the glencarin question, I opted for the Libbey bourbon trail glassware easier to clean and dry, and the larger opening means you don't have to stick your nose in the air when drinking 😆
Cleaning a Glencairn? MORE WHISK(E)Y!
Try a CairnCleaner on amazon, looks kind of like a mini toilet brush.
Yay I finally made it into the top can comment now back to the video
I manage a Twin Liquors Here in Texas and while my store never gets the super rare we do get the occasional semi rare bottle or 2 allocated to my store.I've started doing drawings but i always word the the flier to state like this "Drawing such and such day to buy (typically) whiskey X for price Y please write you name and number legibly" and we dont gouge the prices for the drawing its the most democratic way i can think of going about it
I'd love to see a little tour of the vault inside the vault if that's still around after the move. Got any Double Eagle Very Rare in there?
Did they actually just talk about the whiskey in this episode?! I am used to them drinking it but didn't expect to ever hear them talk about it.
I use a bottle brush with a microfibre cloth over it to dry my glasses
Blow dryer and a round brush is TOTALLY the best way to deal with an unruly beard.
I also have an idea for the resolution that you totally dropped the ball on. When you put a dram of the whiskey you are reviewing in a "bottle" also put a dram of the whiskey you compare it to in a separate "bottle" then compare the 2 at the end of the year.
This is such a jam of a whiskey
How long has Rex been expecting? When do we get the good news?
Can you raffle store credit, and that store credit can only be spent on one bottle of whisky, and that one bottle of whisky is exactly the same price as the store credit you win?
Could you use a baby bottle cleaner to clean a glen carin?
First of 2020 nice review guys !
I too use a hair dryer on my beard your not alone
dont forget the new years blend from each bottle of 2020 :)
*waves back in secret Michigan hand wave*
I clean my Glencairns with a baby bottle brush .any thoughts?
Why not use a baby bottle brush to clean the inside of your Glencairn glasses?
Happy new decade whisk(e)y bastards! Thanks for the new bottle...nice cigar and make a day :P
Yes we need a video on how Daniel blow dries his beard.
