Regular Angels Envy Bourbon is by far my favorite bourbon. When checking a bars stock of whiskey, and I'm in the mood for Bourbon, Angels is it for me. So last year at the office holiday party, we're at a very high end bar in South Pasadena. I see the Angels bottle on the bar and order. The first sip I realized this wasn't bourbon but it was the best whiskey I'd tasted to this point in my Whiskey journey. Bartender showed me the bottle - Finished Rye! So I set out the very next day to get a bottle of my own and find it a very rare bottle to find. In fact my local Bev Mo say they only get a bottle or 2 a year! So I stay persistent and get my chance to buy a bottle and wtf? It's over $85! I had to buy it, but with momma don't know money, if you know what that is! I have one small pour to start the night, then move to what ever else strikes my fancy. Thanks for doing this episode. Cheers!
I tried the trifecta at a bar in Colorado. Cost me 40$ for three shots and it was worth every single penny. Damn shame you can't buy Angel's Envy anywhere outside of the US.
I'm a first year medical student at the University of Iowa, and thank God for these videos. Everyday you guys provide the best study break possible. Entertaining and I somehow end up with a glass of whiskey next to my books.
Hey guys, I really love the show!! I'm a huge fan of you two (yes both of you! (Of course a tiny little bit more of rex)) I have been watching for the last few weeks (67 to go and I have seen them all) (I'm from the Netherlands and my English isn't that great, but I give it a go..(thank god for Google translate)) A year ago I started drinking whisky (at least I tried), I bought a bottle Jack Daniels. I didn't like it!! When I finely killed the bottle i thought This is nothing for me... But a while later I heard a little voice saying to try it again. So I bought a Jameson. That's when the problem started! That was I guess 5 months ago The bottle didn't take as long to become empty as the Jack. (After that it never did) Than came; The Famous Grouse The Famous Grouse Mellow Gold The Famous Grouse Smoky Black Jameson Caskmates Stout Edition Jim Bean Honey Chives Regal 12 Johnnie Walker Red and Black Talisker Skye Aberfeldy 12 Frysk Hynder (Dutch whisky) And some other whisky's I mooched from my dad And last week I bought; Elijah Craig small batch Buffalo Trace Bulleit Rye By the way.. Elijah Craig is already all most empty.. I think the heater is set to high, the whisky evaporates in the bottle! And have you seen my money?? I can't find it, I think I lost it.. Cheers!!!
It's interesting you bring up rum. Really good, aged rums are reminiscent of scotches or other aged whiskies, but definitely sweeter and syrupier. I just got back from Cuba anbrought back a bottle of Santiago de Cuba 12. COULD NOT RECCOMEND IT MORE. Legend is its the orginal Bacardi family recipe before they left Cuba. Any way, there are notes of rye in this rum, which is nothing I have experinced from a rum before. Some other good one's I could recomend are Mount Gay 1703, Havana Club Maetros, and, as you mentioned, Ron Zacaba. Really any rum with an age statement is a game changer if you only know rum as Bacardi Gold.
If you like rum, I'd highly recommend El Dorado 12 or 15, Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva, and Flor de Caña 12 or 18. Diplomatico is my current favorite.
When you are talking about the Angels Envy cask strength it reminds me of one of my favorite M*A*S*H-quotes. After a particularly grueling day, colonel Potter gives Radar a whisky and says: "This is Kentucky whisky. But be careful; it's got a boomerang effect!". Personaly I think that this statement fits with a lot of cask-strength's as some are so complex and challenging that it feels like they are fighting your mouth with intent of claiming it as its own.
It is currently 12:54am in Australia and i've got my Final tests going on at the moment but i need my Whisky Vault fix. I recently went through your videos in my down time and i can't help but point out that you haven't used the Nikka single Malt Whisky on pancakes yet. This was Ep 14, I eagerly await the 'Adults Only' breakfast. If i have to wait 3000 more episodes then i shall wait, i'll live vicariously through Rex mooching your pancakes Daniel.
2:30 - 2:37 First of all, love Angel's Envy Rum-Finished Rye, love this review. Also, I like the unicorn analogy, and before anyone calls liking unicorns "wimpy or sissy" my ancestors the Scottish would like to have a word with you. Gentlemen, just keep doing what you're doing and keep doing it well.
Tried the Rye this past weekend, 1 of 2 rye's I really enjoy. Picked up a regular bottle of Angel's Envy I'm going to get into tonight! Should be swell.
It would be great to get a non-whisky spirit/liquor review, kinda like what Ralfy does *severe shade thrown*, cause Daniel keeps mentioning these things and I need to know some more about these things!
Flew home on United last night and took your advice about getting Glenfarclas. Good call! Hadn't had it im a while and forgot how delicious it was. Drank 3 of them and made the flight very enjoyable. Thanks my whiskey wizard sommelier friend!
I'd love to see a video comparing the different Ardbeg offerings - An Oa vs Corryvrekan vs Kelpie vs Dark Cove vs Uigedaal vs Ardbeg 10; a six whisky supervid!
If you're looking for a truly life changing rum, try Kirk and Sweeney 23. Only $40 where I live and, for me, easily beats our Zacapa 23 or the Plantation XO 20th Anniversary Rum. It's like having a fresh, table side preparation of bananas foster down in New Orleans, all in one glass. So good.
I started a bottle of cask strength straight in the eyes today. Something i have been hunting for a long time now... when faced with the choice ans at $180 i just couldnt pull the trigger. Having watched your review previously i made the call that it wasnt worth it.. i have the other two and love the rye. Could use the stuff as cologne for cripes sake!!
Man, if you can get a good Barbados or Fijian anejo rum they can be up there with some of the whiskeys. Obviously very different flavor profiles, but still damn good.
I live in Colorado. For those of you curious about what you're missing out on, I'll get you really close to the experience. Go but a Mexican version of a hungry man microwave dinner, cook it 15 minutes longer than you need to so that everything gets flavorless and turns to rubber. Boom... You have now tasted the "food" that's served at Casa Bonita.
I'm blaming both of you.... Never said it was your fault just that I'm blaming you... I finally tried the Rye and I kinda dig it big time.... Just a great taste.... and I've never been a Rye soul.
Hey guys Love your channel. Drank crown Royal for years until i watched bourbonocity. THEN i tried angels envy. Now i very much enjoy whiskey lol. Since i have found your channel im trying to experiment with Scotch and other Whiskey's to develop my palette. Can u do a video on smoky Whiskey's and such with a taste characteristic. Smokey, vanilla, Carmel, ect. Thx your humble servant Frank
Casa Bonita definitely does not hold up to when I was 5 years old and the 7/11 style cheese and cafeteria style trays really sets the mood. I love the angels envy bourbon, now I need to get the Rye.. Thanks guys!
best video yet! huge fan of angel's envy products right here. would love to see a review of bain's cape mountain whisky if you can get your hands on a bottle!
"Unicorns are amazing, magical creatures". Rex looks like he has a man-bun. *These comments may or may not be influenced by jet-lag and airplane booze. You guys rock! Keep it up.
I strongly encourage you guys to try a local whiskey to St. Louis Missouri. the distillery is called Still 630. They make a fantastic verity of spirits but there flagship is rye. The main spirit is Rally Point Rye. 90 proof.
Hey there guys the names Kyle. I came across the channel at random a few months ago and love it. You guys have inspired me to really start broadening my whiskies. I've had the regulars Jim, jack, Johny, crown, along with some others but am gonna try more. Bought wild turkey not too long ago and was good. Recent purchase was a 20yr old Alberta rye (I'm Canadian) called Ninety. Next purchase will probably be tomatin. Just bought my first glencairn glasses which btw would've definitely bought yours if you had them. Anyways the collection shall hence grow due to you fine sirs. I'll go back and watch more videos for recommendations. Good luck on your other channel and all your future endeavours. Cheers!
Hi tribe. For the Australian viewers, can you suggest to myself and Rex / daniel, and really good Australia made whiskey or bourbon. Because I would like to see it. For Rex and daniel, I wish I can donate a bottle or 2 of Australian made whiskey or bourbon, but for some crazy reason, you can’t send alcohol in the post to the USA. Unless I really want a US$20,000 fine and a felony against my name. If you ever come to sydney Australia, I would be more then happy to take you to a place that I know of, where you can get some stuff. (1st time commenter and a fairly new watcher of the show.)
I started walking around without any shoes. And it sort of became a hobbit. Does this get a dad joke approval from the mooch? Also i recommend Laphroaig QA cask. I really love how much of a difference the white oak makes in this Islay.
I am not a rum fan at all! BUT. Ron Zacapa is like a whiskey! Even my Puerto Rican wife agrees that its a great rum! Colombian Dictador XO Insolent rum is also a fantastic rum that is a great "Rumskey".
Funny thing I'm watching this at almost 2 in the morning, but being of Guatemalan decent I cannot just pass over that Ron Zacapa nod. Idk how I've never seen this video before, as I've been subscribed for a while lol. Long story short have you had the Ron Zacapa XO? If not once all this craziness is over i will get you guys a bottle.
I have suggestion that will make Rex happy... I have heard that Compass Box's Hedonism tastes a lot like Johnny Walker Blue Label for half the price. I have not tried myself, but you guys should definitely do a comparison or at least a review of Hedonism.
would be so awesome to see you guys try other spirits other then whisk(ey) even if on another channel and maybe not as proffessionals (not knowing how much you know about other spirits.
Been lurking since about 5k subscribers, but I've decided to comment because I just bought a bottle of Angels envy bourbon. by far one of the better bourbon's I've had. Lately I've been getting into scotch and I bought a bottle of glenlivet 12, but I find that Johnnie walker black is much more interesting. what single malt do you recommend that has more peat but won't be overly aggressive.
Hi guys, I came here a few months ago and you've got me hooked, However as a youth I did stupid things with whiskey and now I can't drink the stuff With out the thought of dread and bad things turning my stomach and as a result I don't really get Any flavours from whiskey apart from said dread and bad things. I do like rum though would the rye be a good start point to get myself into whiskey? Why am I on a whiskey reviewing page you may ask, Well I came here for the Somme and the expert reviews on the whiskey we have in the bar I work at, I stayed because you are some magnificent bastards 😆. I do like whiskey in cocktails so it isn't a complete turn off for me If that helps with previous question, I would love to sip my take on an espresso martini With whiskey instead of vodka with you guys to see what you thought 🤔
Hey guys! Big fan from Norway here, I've been watching since Daniel made the episode with The Modern Rogue and I have tried a couple of whiskeys, my favorite so far being Glenfiddich 15. I also found out that smokey whiskeys are a bit hard for me on the taste, even though the smell is incredible, but I really like Talisker 10, my question is if there is another smokey whiskey such as Talisker, something smokey but not too much if that makes any sense. Lots of love, keep up the good work.
@@xohan16 Hello, I know it's been a year since you left this comment but have you tried the recommendations made by the vault? If you did what was your favorite?
Still enjoying the dynamic between you guys. A rum vault would not be a bad idea, but there isnt enough quality rum coming out of central america to justify a whole shelf, let alone a whole vault
Ok I have to ask, how many tribesmen also love Rum? There seems to be a lot of mentions about a rum vault. I too, being a land locked pirate love that special Caribbean potion!!! And have three times more rum to my whiskey
Diggin' the channel guys. I just read the AE Rye is finished in Plantation XO barrels. That rum is their 10-20 yr blend that's finished in Pierre Ferrand cognac barrels and it is fantastic! Plantation Rum is also produced by Ferrand. The P.F. cognacs are also excellent! The problem I have with buying a bottle of the $80+ AE Rye is, the Plantation XO is around $50 and the P.F. Ambre cognac is around $40. So, does finishing a basic MGP 6 yr Rye in these barrels rationalize the hefty price? Cheers!
skipsterz you’ve done your research. It’s MGP (not sure when they will start selling what hey distill in LouisvilleKy). Pricey ... I guess they have gone the “nike “ rout
I misunderstand your getting a bot. My son lives in Vancouver , I live in Albuquerque. I bubble wrapped and insured alcohol for his birthday went to FedEx spent some money but no one questioned it.
I just got my hands on The Hibiki Harmony Master's Select. I was wondering if you've ever tried it? I have the regular Hibiki Harmony also, but have yet to try it. I managed to get it for $49 and the Master's Select for $64 living in Okinawa, Japan. I am excited to try them both and compare the two. Not sure what I'll be able to find in the Master's Select, but your video on the regular Harmony should help me when tasting that one.
Are there any Japanese whiskeys that might be easier to track down in Okinawa than here in the states? I have a friend that just got stationed there recently, and I'm pretty sure I could convince him to pick some stuff up for me. And if I can't, I can get his mom to make him do it - I just shared a bottle of Hibiki Harmony with her this past weekend over cards. I found it in a grocery's liquor store of all places, AND made them price adjust it to MSRP.
I need help identifying a whisky, my friend said that he was at a party once and a generous guy ordered three bottles of whisky for a total of $300-350. He says the label on the bottle was black and gold, and the bottle itself was clear glass. He doesn't like whisky very much but said that it had a minty finish.
Just got my first bottle of Angel's Envy Rye...my first thought? Snickerdoodle cookies. I'm addicted to this stuff. Why does it have to be so expensive? Produce a ton and bring it down to the cost of the Angel's Envy Bourbon 😭
Last year as a wedding present had received a bottle of Octomore from a close family friend who knew I loved whiskey. The bottle I have came in black, and says it was aged for 5 years. Probably one of the smokiest whiskies I’ve ever had. What is the difference between the black bottle and the white that I saw reviewed on your channel?
I just want to say iv been watching your show and drinking whisky(properly) for the last 2 months and i starter with the aberlour 12 and the glenlivet founders but today i wanted to try my first peated and decided to go with the lagavulin 16 which i immediately fell in love with, but my question is what would be a good step up from there to get that smokey taste that i know crave in a scotch

it was a big sacrifice, but we aim to please. 🙃
Rex you get the credit for mooching those for me
Carson Price great recommendation.
So, what's next in the commenting life of Carson Price? :P
Angels Envy has easily become my go to whiskey. Got my girlfriend and family hooked on it. Need to try the rye version ASAP
Tyler Wortman Rye is the best of the three. You don't know what your missing.
It's great, just wish it wasnt 100 bucks
Are you for real, we have a bottle of it here and it's cheap! Buy some quality Irish whiskey, this is muck.
Angles Envy is my unicorn Bourbon & Rye. Always a winner no matter what friends try it.
@@bobboberson6664 Its come down. I found a bottle for $66...bought 2 lol

I tried the trifecta at a bar in Colorado. Cost me 40$ for three shots and it was worth every single penny. Damn shame you can't buy Angel's Envy anywhere outside of the US.
So, my first neat whisky was a Glennfiddich 12 and my second a Laphroaig 10. I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE LAPHROAIG ON THE FIRST SIP.
That rye is so damn good
Amazing
I'm a first year medical student at the University of Iowa, and thank God for these videos. Everyday you guys provide the best study break possible. Entertaining and I somehow end up with a glass of whiskey next to my books.
Wow...Wil Wheaton is looking rough. When did he start rocking a man-bun?
Hahahahahahahaha, why have i never seen this before!
Hey guys, I really love the show!!
I'm a huge fan of you two (yes both of you! (Of course a tiny little bit more of rex))
I have been watching for the last few weeks (67 to go and I have seen them all)
(I'm from the Netherlands and my English isn't that great, but I give it a go..(thank god for Google translate))
A year ago I started drinking whisky (at least I tried),
I bought a bottle Jack Daniels.
I didn't like it!!
When I finely killed the bottle i thought This is nothing for me...
But a while later I heard a little voice saying to try it again.
So I bought a Jameson.
That's when the problem started!
That was I guess 5 months ago
The bottle didn't take as long to become empty as the Jack. (After that it never did)
Than came;
The Famous Grouse
The Famous Grouse Mellow Gold
The Famous Grouse Smoky Black
Jameson Caskmates Stout Edition
Jim Bean Honey
Chives Regal 12
Johnnie Walker Red and Black
Talisker Skye
Aberfeldy 12
Frysk Hynder (Dutch whisky)
And some other whisky's I mooched from my dad
And last week I bought;
Elijah Craig small batch
Buffalo Trace
Bulleit Rye
By the way.. Elijah Craig is already all most empty..
I think the heater is set to high, the whisky evaporates in the bottle!
And have you seen my money?? I can't find it, I think I lost it..
Cheers!!!
It's interesting you bring up rum. Really good, aged rums are reminiscent of scotches or other aged whiskies, but definitely sweeter and syrupier. I just got back from Cuba anbrought back a bottle of Santiago de Cuba 12. COULD NOT RECCOMEND IT MORE. Legend is its the orginal Bacardi family recipe before they left Cuba. Any way, there are notes of rye in this rum, which is nothing I have experinced from a rum before. Some other good one's I could recomend are Mount Gay 1703, Havana Club Maetros, and, as you mentioned, Ron Zacaba. Really any rum with an age statement is a game changer if you only know rum as Bacardi Gold.
If you like rum, I'd highly recommend El Dorado 12 or 15, Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva, and Flor de Caña 12 or 18. Diplomatico is my current favorite.
Angels Envy Rye has been my favorite whiskey for about 5 years now. It is in my fancy-pants decanter as we speak. Love y’all’s videos! ✌🏻
When you are talking about the Angels Envy cask strength it reminds me of one of my favorite M*A*S*H-quotes. After a particularly grueling day, colonel Potter gives Radar a whisky and says: "This is Kentucky whisky. But be careful; it's got a boomerang effect!". Personaly I think that this statement fits with a lot of cask-strength's as some are so complex and challenging that it feels like they are fighting your mouth with intent of claiming it as its own.
It is currently 12:54am in Australia and i've got my Final tests going on at the moment but i need my Whisky Vault fix. I recently went through your videos in my down time and i can't help but point out that you haven't used the Nikka single Malt Whisky on pancakes yet. This was Ep 14, I eagerly await the 'Adults Only' breakfast. If i have to wait 3000 more episodes then i shall wait, i'll live vicariously through Rex mooching your pancakes Daniel.
Corey M That might be a good idea for their other channel Whiskey Biscuits.
Corey M they also never did the gunpowder and whiskey cocktail
《dobber 》 That's the only reason I'm still here. Waiting....
this sounds pretty whiskey biscuity. hmmmm...
oohh... gunpower cocktail ideas are forming for a biscuits episode.
Angel's Envy has become my go to bourbon, for a bourbon and coke. I can't even explain why, it just does something special together.

Warm Sugar Cookie is the correct description!
I want to be a whiskey mooch too! Love Angels Envy straight up, also my fave to use for Old Fashioned
I would like to see a comparison video of a few other bottles finished in Sherry cask to see how they stand up to Angels envy
I started walking around without any shoes.
And it sort of became a hobbit.
Does this get a dad joke approval from the mooch?
Also i recommend Laphroaig QA cask.
I really love how much of a difference the white oak makes in this Islay.
Jeroen De Wit Awesome.
Berkshire Distillery here in Massachusetts put out a bourbon finished in Islay casks.
I am not a rum fan at all! BUT. Ron Zacapa is like a whiskey! Even my Puerto Rican wife agrees that its a great rum! Colombian Dictador XO Insolent rum is also a fantastic rum that is a great "Rumskey".

Great review. I'm definitely going to try the AE Rye next
If you ever start tasting rum you must try Pusser’s naval rum, gun powder proof.
Have you tried Black velvet? Its Canadian blended whisky and cheapest whisky you can get in Finland and i think its awesome for the price.
I enjoy rum and a dable in mixing and i like to find complex alcohols and make interesting mixs with them
Hi guys,
I came here a few months ago and you've got me hooked,
However as a youth I did stupid things with whiskey and now I can't drink the stuff
With out the thought of dread and bad things turning my stomach and as a result I don't really get
Any flavours from whiskey apart from said dread and bad things.
I do like rum though would the rye be a good start point to get myself into whiskey?
Why am I on a whiskey reviewing page you may ask,
Well I came here for the Somme and the expert reviews on the whiskey we have in the bar
I work at, I stayed because you are some magnificent bastards 😆.
I do like whiskey in cocktails so it isn't a complete turn off for me
If that helps with previous question,
I would love to sip my take on an espresso martini
With whiskey instead of vodka with you guys to see what you thought 🤔
We need a view of this basket shot that keeps getting missed.
David Herman Seconded!
Thirsted!
We want a basket cam!
YES! get a little go pro on the rim of that thing!
Go pro the basket!
Agreed
I'm in Merrillville Indiana and bought the bourbon for $51.24 for an 750 ml.
Hey guys! Big fan from Norway here, I've been watching since Daniel made the episode with The Modern Rogue and I have tried a couple of whiskeys, my favorite so far being Glenfiddich 15. I also found out that smokey whiskeys are a bit hard for me on the taste, even though the smell is incredible, but I really like Talisker 10, my question is if there is another smokey whiskey such as Talisker, something smokey but not too much if that makes any sense.
Lots of love, keep up the good work.
Oban 14, maybe? Or Highland Park 12
Thanks! I'll try them out when I get the chance
@@xohan16 Hello, I know it's been a year since you left this comment but have you tried the recommendations made by the vault? If you did what was your favorite?
@@michaelp6421 I got to try the Highland Park a while ago and I remember liking it, but still prefer the ones in the comment
I have all 3 and I prefer the Rum finished as well. It's actually pretty decent and 1/2 the price.
You say there is nothing like Angel's envy - please try the James E. Pepper 1776 Sherry Cask Rye! It is lovely in the same way!
Did someone say Rum Vault?
ResidentRumDrinker, the name fits. 😁👍
I support this change in direction.
Please let it be real
To the Rum Vault!
I would imagine it as the battle cry for Bat-Daniel and Rex-Robin!
damn, just realised i forgot to leave a like :)
Still enjoying the dynamic between you guys. A rum vault would not be a bad idea, but there isnt enough quality rum coming out of central america to justify a whole shelf, let alone a whole vault
Ok I have to ask, how many tribesmen also love Rum? There seems to be a lot of mentions about a rum vault. I too, being a land locked pirate love that special Caribbean potion!!! And have three times more rum to my whiskey
Diggin' the channel guys. I just read the AE Rye is finished in Plantation XO barrels. That rum is their 10-20 yr blend that's finished in Pierre Ferrand cognac barrels and it is fantastic! Plantation Rum is also produced by Ferrand. The P.F. cognacs are also excellent! The problem I have with buying a bottle of the $80+ AE Rye is, the Plantation XO is around $50 and the P.F. Ambre cognac is around $40. So, does finishing a basic MGP 6 yr Rye in these barrels rationalize the hefty price? Cheers!
skipsterz you’ve done your research. It’s MGP (not sure when they will start selling what hey distill in LouisvilleKy). Pricey ... I guess they have gone the “nike “ rout
Basket Cam please, Rex surely has a camera he can use for this effort. And Angel's Envy is tasty. Cheers.
badDeath Thanatos, cameras aren't the problem. Spending the additional time to ingest and sync the footage is blah.
You guys have got to try the Michter's Toasted Barrel Rye. It's amazing.
I misunderstand your getting a bot. My son lives in Vancouver , I live in Albuquerque. I bubble wrapped and insured alcohol for his birthday went to FedEx spent some money but no one questioned it.
With that small amount in the bottle.... REX!!!!! How did you not go for a bottle down????? Mooch points -50.....
I just got my hands on The Hibiki Harmony Master's Select. I was wondering if you've ever tried it? I have the regular Hibiki Harmony also, but have yet to try it. I managed to get it for $49 and the Master's Select for $64 living in Okinawa, Japan. I am excited to try them both and compare the two. Not sure what I'll be able to find in the Master's Select, but your video on the regular Harmony should help me when tasting that one.
not yet!
Are there any Japanese whiskeys that might be easier to track down in Okinawa than here in the states? I have a friend that just got stationed there recently, and I'm pretty sure I could convince him to pick some stuff up for me. And if I can't, I can get his mom to make him do it - I just shared a bottle of Hibiki Harmony with her this past weekend over cards. I found it in a grocery's liquor store of all places, AND made them price adjust it to MSRP.
not sure. I never went looking for whiskey in the states, but if there is something that you can't find I would recommend just asking your friend
I need help identifying a whisky, my friend said that he was at a party once and a generous guy ordered three bottles of whisky for a total of $300-350. He says the label on the bottle was black and gold, and the bottle itself was clear glass. He doesn't like whisky very much but said that it had a minty finish.
hnmmmm. could be a lot of whisky..
for me Angel's Envy Rye tastes like what Malort would taste like if you replaced the bitter finish with maple pralines.
Just got my first bottle of Angel's Envy Rye...my first thought? Snickerdoodle cookies. I'm addicted to this stuff. Why does it have to be so expensive? Produce a ton and bring it down to the cost of the Angel's Envy Bourbon 😭
Tried the rye a couple days ago on thanksgiving wasn’t a fan but I fucking love classic angels envy
Hey I don't know if y'all have had/heard of lead slinger whiskey.....gotta give it a shot worth it!!!
You guys are freaking awesome you magnificent bastards!!!!!! Have you guys done Jack Daniel’s Straight Rye or Single Barrel Rye?
6:17 exactly what i thought since the beginning of the episode
Awesome episode, would love to see a Laphroaig comparison.
Bought a bottle of angels envy and I am in love, so silky smooth is there any other bourbans out there that are simular in taste to A E
Last year as a wedding present had received a bottle of Octomore from a close family friend who knew I loved whiskey. The bottle I have came
in black, and says it was aged for 5 years. Probably one of the smokiest whiskies I’ve ever had. What is the difference between the black bottle and the white that I saw reviewed on your channel?
Different releases, but that's it.
I just want to say iv been watching your show and drinking whisky(properly) for the last 2 months and i starter with the aberlour 12 and the glenlivet founders but today i wanted to try my first peated and decided to go with the lagavulin 16 which i immediately fell in love with, but my question is what would be a good step up from there to get that smokey taste that i know crave in a scotch
But but you didn't try the total wine special version of Angels Envy
Ron zacapa 23 solara is the best rum I’ve had.
If you can't get the whiskey to the vault, then take the vault to the whiskey. Road Trip Review!
Any chance you guys would do High West A Midwinter Night's Dram?
