    I love that you just rolled with the "lights out" mode; you get what you get and it is what it is. I only wish I had watched this ON Halloween. Perfect video for it. Grabbed a bottle of benchmark FP, poured a very hefty pour, mixed with some coke zero, and walked the neighborhood with family and friends. Love your videos

    Recently picked this up while traveling (only SmB is available in my ABC state), was hoping for Top Floor but only found Full Proof. I was thrilled when WTWT said "ethanol forward" since that's all I got from it. And the "knock off luden's cough drop" was spot-on too." Great advice to have this if you have a cold and just want the proof to cut through the congestion... PS - What a trooper just pushing through the spooky darkness to make a whiskey lubetube video!

    With this one, the "neck pour" is a real thing. Give it a week, after opening. and I have found it increases it's value even more. It seems to just get better and less jaggy. Cheers!

    I am sipping my 3rd bottle of this full proof. There is something that comes at the nose. Not my first time smelling it. I smell, teriyaki pineapple. Like when you soak a pineapple ring in dark teriyaki sauce and grill it. I have heard others have smelled this to. I don't find it unpleasant. It grows on me

    A friend provided me a sample of Stagg 23A a couple of months back. I compared this to the Stagg. I was surprised how well it stood up to the Stagg. The finish on this had a strong bitter note on the finish not there on the Stagg. The Stagg was definitely better, but still impressed with this bottle.

When asked about why the same pots were different prices the boy replied “some people want to pay $25….some people want to pay $100” 🤷🏻‍♂️
