    My fellow MB's, I need to vent for a minute because I know you people will sympathize with me. I'm upset. I'm only 22 years old but I have fallen down the bunghole of whiskey nerd-dom, in large part due to this channel and community. I'm across the country from my family for school, but my dad knows my love for whiskey and my exposure to this channel so he will often text me for whiskey recommendations, many of which I still have yet to try myself because that college student budget is not conducive to whiskey shenanigans, so I only have a drink when my parents are buying dinner (along with whiskey, I am learning the ways of the mooch). Last night I get bombarded with pictures of a whiskey bar's menu, so I give my dad some options I think he'll like based off of what we've both had in the past. He's had some Laphroig, some Lagavulin, some Highland Park, all of which he likes, so I encourage him to try the Ardbeg An Oa (again, I have yet to try it, but I've only heard good things). He follows my advice and orders a pour. This is how the conversation goes from there:
    Dad: "First sniff, smokey but has a nice caramel hint"
    Me: "Well that's a good start"
    Dad: ……"WOW! That is REALLY good! The finish is amazing! This was a good choice!"
    Me: …
    Dad: "Holy crap, you won't believe how good this is!"
    Me: … *silent tears*
    I continue to get texts that are RAVING about how good this whiskey is, and he must've been visibly having a mouth-gasm at dinner because now my mom is texting me on the side scolding me for how I've broken my father. I make no apologies……except to myself. I suffer at my own hand for recommending a whiskey I have lusted after for YEARS that I now have the "pleasure" of enjoying vicariously. My dad doesn't know the pain he's caused me with his joy, but I needed to get this off my chest. Thank you for listening, MB's

    I REALLY like the glass on the bottle thing. Especially in a comparison like this. Being able to visually tell which glass you're talking about without having to put much thought into it makes this oh so much more enjoyable as well as easier to digest the information.

      Sometimes you don't even need that high of proof for a good complex bourbon. New Riff is a fantastic bourbon. Not a high rye, but it does have a nice sweet and spicy flavor. Haven't tried the single barrel but it's next.

    Timing was good on this one for me, as I scored one several months back when Ohio had a limited release of these. Cracked mine open and tried it while watching the episode. Floral, rosy nose...check. Honey-cherry-chocolatey flavors (with some peppery spice)... check. All in all, as Rex said, nicer than I expected.

    You can find the bottling date code on Bulleit by looking for a laser etched code on the bottle. It is usually just below the label on the front of the bottle. There is an L followed by a 4 digit Julian date code. The first number is the year (e.g. 2018=8, 2019=9, 2020=0, etc.) and the following 3 digits are the day.

Didn't get wasted, or anything but it's just a positive association. Gotta pick up more lol

      Branding as there only is like three distilleries in Ireland. I'm half Irish and find Bourbon superior. Scotch is special as there is a lot of distilleries here in Scotland. More than anywhere else. Scotch is the finest by far but you need to like malt, smoke, sherry and cool crisp tastes which I find complex and overwhelming. Scotch is high end.

    Many years ago (40) worked in a bottle factory. They aren't always just dated it can be dots somewhere identify the month and something elsewhere will be year. Numbers can just be the mould it was made in. And each factory can have it's own dating system. I used to be able to tell where and when beer bottles were made unfortunately that esoteric skill has now been lost.

I still love watching your videos because it gives me a new whiskey to try every week.. I still find myself crawling back to Elijah Craig and 1792 small batch.. they are so great.. and I am never buying scotch again because the 15 different bottles that I have bought and tried all taste like booze fermented in a cigarettes ash tray.. they all taste like dirt for some reason and I don't like them..

      Whiskey on the bayou posted a vid recently on a diy nosing kit. Geared more for scotch, but concept would apply for bourbon as well. There are many notes I still am not experienced enough to pick out specifically. But I damn sure know when I've caught a whiff of something that's offensive to me, and I'm still trying to figure those out along the way.

  • @benjamingardner3314

    I'm waiting for the finishing notes. Regular Bulleit has a great start but completely evaporates on the finish. It sounds like the single barrel has a much richer mid palate. So, what's the ending, is it a rich coda, a cadence and finale, a drifting conclusion into a minor key, or a maddening hard stop on a half cadence?

    Are some higher proof whiskeys exactly the same as a lower proof whiskey with less water added after coming out of the cask? Is wild turkey 101 exactly the same cask source as their 81 proof bottling, just diluted differently? If so, can you evaporate 20% of a standard whiskey and create your own ~100 proof version? Would it be as good? Would a food dehydrator be a way to do that? Rex and Daniel, challenge!

    I got some Jack Daniels for the first time this last month. Been enjoying whiskey seriously for about a year and a half now. Had quite a few.
    And I tasted the Jack and immediately wondered: WHY IN THE HELL IN THIS POPULAR?
    It tastes like absolutely nothing. I struggle to find a single noticeable note on the nose, and the pallet tastes like vodka that’s been in a barrel briefly.
    Compared to the Jim Beam Black I’ve been enjoying, it’s basically water. What’s the big deal? Am I the only one that thinks this?
