I think you need to keep the Laphroig under lock and key. That way in order to put it on the shelf, Emma would have to bring in another bottle. Either the bottle would stay there, or you'd keep getting more Laphroig. Win win
Bulliet 10 year is my go to bourbon for sure, I’m surprised you did not mention the strong oak flavour, it’s really stands out with my palate. You guys are the best whiskey channel around with ease.👍
Yeah this and Eagle Rare 10 are both affordable and the very best off the shelf. Both oak but Bullit is more spicy where Eagle is more fruity and carmel.
Bullet is going to get to the point where a huge chunk of their stuff is in-house and no one is going to believe they’re not essentially a MGP house brand.
This is a review I've been definitely looking forward to when I bought a bottle of Bulleit 10 a while back when I started dipping into the whiskey world.
I visited Bulleit Distillery a few years ago and purchased this bottle after the tasting. I still enjoy it from time to time. My recent favorite is Rare Breed from Wild Turkey.
Glad you reviewed this I have a bottle I purchased 6 years ago in Australia that I have never seen since. And since I can't buy it again I don't want to open yet.
New fan of whiskey in my mid 30's, just found the channel and love it. Bullet Rye and 7up was my main but I've recently taken a taste of Woodford Reserve on ice. Hope to learn to drink neat in the near future. Thanks for all the great wisdom!
I went back and tried my Bulleit 10 after a two month gap after opening and I enjoyed it so much more than the neck poor. $37 for a 10 year whiskey is damn good value IMO.
Got a bottle of the 10 yr for Christmas ... wasn’t a bottle I asked for, but it has turned out to be one of my favorites. Extremely smooth. Very nice cinnamon and oak taste ... extremely easy drinker and not too sweet.
Daniel you make the cinnamon toast way more complicated then it is. The way we did it in the 80's and 90's was toast the bread in the toaster then just spread butter on it after then sprinkle the Cinnamon sugar and bam done.
I just broke this bottle open and I am really happy with it. I like the classic Bulleit, but this is a clear upgrade. I got it on offer, too. I paid 22.50 EUR for this. Damn good stuff. Not gonna drink it like I would a Maker's Mark or Buffalo Trace, but I know I'll enjoy any dram I'll have of this when I feel like having it.
Jack Daniel’s and Wild Turkey 101 are the two whiskies I’ve drank the most. I’m in my 40’s now and still drink them, though Elijah Craig and Dickel 12 have replaced Jack to a large degree. I still buy Jack Single Barrel but I rarely buy Old No. 7 anymore. But I always have 101, EC, and Dickel in the house and I supplement those with whatever else I feel like and can find.
I think for me the most volume of whiskey would be the old standard Jack Daniels. Started young and stayed with it until probably my late 20's early 30's when I switched to Jameson.
That one is about 40 where I am at too, and the barrel strength and blender's batch are about 50. Rare breed is about 43-48 depending on if it is on sale or full price.
IDK... I think some of it is definitely still Four Roses. Some friends & I did a side-by-side with Bulleit Barrel Strength & and a tier 3 OBSF Four Roses Barrel Strength pick and we all agreed they were EXTREMELY similar.
My grandma would make us "candied toast". Butter one side and sprinkle on the cinnamon and sugar. Place in the hot pan, plain side down. As the bottom toasts the butter begins to melt. When the bottom is brown, flip it over and cook the other side. The sugar gets carmelized and toasted.
Interesting tasting notes. I personally picked up a bit of toasted almond and mayyyybe a little marzipan, which is probably what you guys interpreted as apple and cinnamon. Bloody love having your palates on hand all the time though fellas, even for a product like this where it’s hard to dig out much complexity, nice one x
Wild Turkey 101. It was my go to whiskey, actually, the only whiskey I drank, back in college. At that time, it still had an age statement - 7 years, I believe, or maybe 8. It's been a while.
I always thought of Wild Turkey as a cheap drunk whiskey and thus stayed away from it for quite awhile. I just recently had a dram of Wild Turkey Rare Breed and LOVED it. While shopping at Sam's Club, I saw a bottle of 101 for $20.38... had to pick it up. Got to say, that is one FINE whiskey for $20. For me, it was dang near Booker's quality when you factor in a $50+ price difference. Love finding "cheep" fantastic whiskey. Thanks guys for mentioning WT 101 so many times and that helped me pull the trigger.
I'm not sure how easily the shelves come on & off the wall, but I have a suggestion for Emma. If they do come on & off fairly easily, get another identical shelf made & glue a bottle of Laphroaig on to it.
Hey guys! I just wanted to say thank you for being the best whiskey reviewers! I started watching about a year ago from a video randomly popping up to now watching everyday! I love watching the “NOOB” video’s because I am still trying to try every style to see what is my go to whiskey. I have had my eye on angles envy for a long time and just pulled the trigger on the rye. (First rye I have had) (choose the rye due to your trio video) I absolutely LOVE it! It is the first whiskey I hands down love! Hopefully here soon taking the tour of the distillery. But thank you guys for opening my eyes to enjoying whiskey! Also how do I send a bottle?
Kudos to Fancy Dan for linking the episodes you chaps happen to reference....very helpful indeed. Nothing like sipping whisky and gorging on the Whisky Vault/Tribe videos 😂
I like the 10yr better. But I Paid $63.00 for a bottle at Spirit Liquors in New Jersey. Crazy prices. Not sure if it's worth? I've been watching since Daniel got interviewed by the Modern Rouge then episode 1 and here we are now. Congratulations and thanks for the laughs and introducing me to whiskey other than Jack and Cokes.
I already asked this question ( which was highlighted so thanks) but I didn’t get an answer and would really like to know. Can you take “new” wood, treat that wood with vanilla, cloves, any herbs or spices then build your “new” barrels allowing a bourbon label with different more complex tastes?
Ever had Manuka Honey? It has an herbal/medicinal smell to it. It comes from New Zealand, which is the only place that the Manuka plant grows. When the pollen (from the Manuka plant) count is high enough, the honey can be used as an antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and to heal wounds.
@@jwalkblue7 so the herbal quality comes from a plant you say lol? All jokes aside I get the difference daniel was driving at but by definition an herbal flavor is a plant flavor. Edited for errors in syntax.
@@michaelo5665 I get what you're saying. Technically you're correct, but I'd imagine that he's referencing that medicinal note, which is a much different type of floral than say a flower, which is more than likely the smell that he actually meant.
Visited your distillery the other day. You have a beautiful campus. I am trying your Eleanor finished on Balcones barrels right now, and I must say.... aroused.
I’m literally watching this after trying Bulleit10yr, and neat I get a quick sweetness then a ton of oak ending with a dryness. On ice with a quick squirt of simple syrup I get a sweet tea with sawdust, but in a good way if that makes any sense 😂.
I have to agree that if someone is going to ask customers to pay $35-40 for a bottle of bourbon, you're going to have some tough competition: Balcones Pot still bourbon Makers 46 Makers cask strength Woodford that Woodinville they drank last week King's County WT Longbranch Knob Creek Basil Hayden
Rex mentioned cigars in his tribe email and Daniel has a stoagie in some of the videos, not to mention all the videos with you guys enjoying while partaking in shenanigans. Will we ever get cigar related content (pairings, reviews, etc.?)
I find all the Bulleit's very hot. It makes my tongue sting and burn and it drowns out any other flavour. WT101 does not so I don't think it is just the %. OGD Bib does this too with the burned tongue.
For those that entered the chat.......... Just drank Tottori, didn't really like it (bought for $35). Nose - close to the lip (nose inside the glass) incredibly alcohol, giving complexity at about an inch to 1.5. After that, vanilla and brown sugar, almond, all incredibly sweet. Palate - medicine, aniseed, bourbon sweetness, wood sugar, rather than oak barrel flavour. Finish, oily down the throat, leaving menthol/vanilla notes(about 60/40). Medium to long. I'm still feeling hints of aniseed while writing this post Overall - personally too sweet and basically "sweet bourbon with legs", meaning for a Japanese whisky to be a poor man's carbon copy of Wild Turkey 13 kinda defeats the purpose of buying a Japanese whisky to contrast with an American whiskey. Final thought - for me, just playing into a current trend. Genuinely feels like a Japanese money grab (looking at some prices around the world, I definitely paid less than most people would, but it still wasn't worth it). Honestly, for me, it's not as good as it should be. You'll see a lot of this happening in the medium term - sub par product being chucked out of Japan just cos they're the flavour of the month. I shouldn't shit on the current demand for Japanese whisky cos I own numerous bottles of objectively good Japanese whisky..... 🤭 The problem comes when Japanese whisky is known for being shit. What happens then?
Probably a hard question I'd have to think. But if you had to only have three whiskeys for the rest of time what would you choose???? I'm going Lagavulin 16, talisker 10 and highland park 18
I always heard Bulleit was a high rye MGP or is that just the rye that's from MGP? Mckenna 10 for 30 to 40 bucks!?! most markets thats up to around 70-100.
I think Bullet also does not get the credit it deserves because it does not come in a box. Yes it seems like a unnecessary reason, but it does matter how you assign value to them at the store.
Daniel, you can't talk about giving Rex whiskey (especially Rare Breed) and promise to give it to him off camera. I feel.... cheated. I need to see the mooch in action. If I can't get that, then what are we even doing here.
I've noticed when I've had bad sinus and allergy issues that whisky tends to exacerbate the issue. Is this a common issue? And is there a particular type of whisky that does not create more of a problem?
I think you need to keep the Laphroig under lock and key. That way in order to put it on the shelf, Emma would have to bring in another bottle. Either the bottle would stay there, or you'd keep getting more Laphroig. Win win
My wife and I enjoy a little orange peel in our Bulleit. We have been exploring the world of whiskey due to this channel. Thanks
oh, that is so interesting - how was it?
@@naitsirk32 We like it better than the regular Bulleit. I found that I like the 10 better straight
I do the same but with cherry syrup!
Maker Mark, Bufalo Trace and Bulleit are my top 3 budget!
The Bulleit 10 Year is fantastic. I tried it for the first time a little while ago, and it's probably my new favourite.
Another option in my area, SE Kansas, in the $40 range is my absolute favorite bourbon: Four Roses Single Barrel!!
I just bought my first bottle of four roses single barrel and I absolutely loved it.
Yep, it’s a very good one!
Bulliet 10 year is my go to bourbon for sure, I’m surprised you did not mention the strong oak flavour, it’s really stands out with my palate. You guys are the best whiskey channel around with ease.👍

I visited Bulleit Distillery a few years ago and purchased this bottle after the tasting. I still enjoy it from time to time. My recent favorite is Rare Breed from Wild Turkey.
I had to click "LIKE" today just for Emma switching the bottles out again … And Daniel's reaction!
Glad you reviewed this I have a bottle I purchased 6 years ago in Australia that I have never seen since. And since I can't buy it again I don't want to open yet.
Why is Rex so sweaty? Was he watching Cops?
😂😂😂, yeah he records it!
Cops doesn’t start till 4!
You guys finally figured it out after more than a week worth of videos..... Geez. It was driving me nuts!
New fan of whiskey in my mid 30's, just found the channel and love it. Bullet Rye and 7up was my main but I've recently taken a taste of Woodford Reserve on ice. Hope to learn to drink neat in the near future. Thanks for all the great wisdom!
If you like a sweet but spicy bourbon, try New Riff. It's 65% corn, 30% rye, and 5% malted barley. It's delicious
I went back and tried my Bulleit 10 after a two month gap after opening and I enjoyed it so much more than the neck poor. $37 for a 10 year whiskey is damn good value IMO.
Bulleit was made at barton 1792 distillery (Bardstown) under contract until 2018. They were one of two contract vendors for the brand.
Got a bottle of the 10 yr for Christmas ... wasn’t a bottle I asked for, but it has turned out to be one of my favorites. Extremely smooth. Very nice cinnamon and oak taste ... extremely easy drinker and not too sweet.
Daniel you make the cinnamon toast way more complicated then it is. The way we did it in the 80's and 90's was toast the bread in the toaster then just spread butter on it after then sprinkle the Cinnamon sugar and bam done.
At my age, you don't want to smell toast unless your making some.
I used to hate that way. Now I love peanut butter.
groton27 my thoughts exactly.
@@kloss213 Same same as a 40 something year old lol
I just broke this bottle open and I am really happy with it. I like the classic Bulleit, but this is a clear upgrade. I got it on offer, too. I paid 22.50 EUR for this. Damn good stuff.

Bulleit, Turkey, Beam- I bought a good many bottles based on your suggestions many costly and I keep going back to the first 3- I sux.
Maker's 46. Can't go wrong
Wild Turkey 101. It was my go to whiskey, actually, the only whiskey I drank, back in college. At that time, it still had an age statement - 7 years, I believe, or maybe 8. It's been a while.

Completely agree with your assessment. Very similar but stronger, darker, heavier.

7:24 🤣🤣🤣 Emma is the best!!!
We call pan toast, fried bread in the UK as part of a cooked breakfast😄
My local store just started carrying the Bulleit cask strength. Gonna grab a bottle this weekend.
It is REALLY good.
Freaking Laphroig back there again. Hope this back and forth game goes forever.
EDIT: LOL they realized on this one.
So proud of Emma! Keep putting Laphroaig up there!
So Bulleitt actually has two distilleries. Stitzel-Weller and Bulleitt Distilling Company in Shelbyville.
Kudos to Fancy Dan for linking the episodes you chaps happen to reference....very helpful indeed. Nothing like sipping whisky and gorging on the Whisky Vault/Tribe videos 😂

Try buying in Canada. For a 1.75 litre bottle of the regular bulleit it was 70 bucks

Can you take “new” wood, treat that wood with vanilla, cloves, any herbs or spices then build your “new” barrels allowing a bourbon label with different more complex tastes?
Laphroig! Laphroig’s back!
I was able to get 5 bottles of bullet 10 for $20 a piece thanks to a gas station pricing it too low. They changed that a few days later sadly 😥
Damn that would be a steal and I would have jumped on that as well!
I picked that up for only 23€ a few weeks ago. Probably not a bad deal.
Love your videos. I was wondering would you or have you reviewed Blanton’s?? John Wicks drink of choice. It seems to be pretty hard to get.
Do you guys have merch?
Not MGP? I'm surprised.
Daniel, I need clarification please. How can something be herbal but not plant herbal? Sounds like a zen puzzle.😋
Ever had Manuka Honey? It has an herbal/medicinal smell to it. It comes from New Zealand, which is the only place that the Manuka plant grows. When the pollen (from the Manuka plant) count is high enough, the honey can be used as an antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and to heal wounds.

This stuff went on clearance at grocery store me not too long ago. An entire endcap was loaded up.
Hey Rex do you have any tattoos. Daniel if he doesn’t let’s get him a redbreast tattoo. Lol love the show guy’s .
Bought a bottle today - will crack it open around the campfire next weekend
Visited your distillery the other day. You have a beautiful campus. I am trying your Eleanor finished on Balcones barrels right now, and I must say.... aroused.
hi boys the Laphroaig is back so emma is back again change the code for the vault dont you think lol
I don't think they would survive that particular practical joke. 😐
"Laphroaig 10 keeps showing up"...first world problem Rex.
I’m literally watching this after trying Bulleit10yr, and neat I get a quick sweetness then a ton of oak ending with a dryness. On ice with a quick squirt of simple syrup I get a sweet tea with sawdust, but in a good way if that makes any sense 😂.
They sourced through Buffalo Trace too
I have to agree that if someone is going to ask customers to pay $35-40 for a bottle of bourbon, you're going to have some tough competition:
Balcones Pot still bourbon
Makers 46
Makers cask strength
Woodford
that Woodinville they drank last week
King's County
WT Longbranch
Knob Creek
Basil Hayden
Bought 3 bottles of Maker's 46 for $27 out the door today at Costco
I Luv Rare Breed ! One of my favs. Yes its 40$ 116 proof
Bulleit opened their distillery in 2016... We are just now getting liquor distilled in house... Anything >4year is sourced from MGP
Rex mentioned cigars in his tribe email and Daniel has a stoagie in some of the videos, not to mention all the videos with you guys enjoying while partaking in shenanigans. Will we ever get cigar related content (pairings, reviews, etc.?)
There are a couple of those videos on the Whiskey Tribe channel.
Is Rex a former Marine? Reminds of a buddy of mine.
Wait when did the corner wall become a thing? CN someone explain what the wall is.
Daniel, Rex. Non whiskey related question..
Do you guys put any product in your beards??
is that evidence of rex doing more experiments i see on his shirt
I find all the Bulleit's very hot. It makes my tongue sting and burn and it drowns out any other flavour. WT101 does not so I don't think it is just the %. OGD Bib does this too with the burned tongue.
What do whisky companies do with those barrels that just don't fit into any of their releases? so even blending they miss out on them.
Rare Breed in the same price range as Bulleit 10? I need to move. It's $56-$62 in SoCal - if you can find it...
Is fingers-to-palm-clapping not the norm?
Guys, quick request, Matsui Tottori Bourbon Barrel review?

@Jeremy nice. Macallan fan? 😂
Any Ardbeg is my one to go to last whiskey
It could be Bards Town Distillery. They make alcohol for 50 other distilleries.
Yeah Rare Breed is around 40 bucks. I know cause I don't really pay more than 40-45 for liquor and it's my favorite bourbon.
Henry McKenna..... that use to be a good choice but now they want $100 in my area for the bib
Please do royal 21 its got wild flavor!!
Y is the subscrib sign upside-down
What’s the quintessential wall and how does stuff make it up there?
Do a solan review! Indian whiskey!
I always heard Bulleit was a high rye MGP or is that just the rye that's from MGP? Mckenna 10 for 30 to 40 bucks!?! most markets thats up to around 70-100.
Almost picked up the 10 but there was one bottle left of Bulliet Blenders Select. Probably not a lot of difference 🤷🏽♂️
I have both. I like the 10 better.
Wheres the list of whats on the quintessential wall?
I have been trained so well that when Rex said "laphroaig", I inspected the quintessential wall and found laphroaig there again immediately...
Been waiting on this one!
Dudes the LAPHROAIG is back up again. Get the Lagavulin 16 back up. EMMA'S BEEN AROUND
I think Bullet also does not get the credit it deserves because it does not come in a box. Yes it seems like a unnecessary reason, but it does matter how you assign value to them at the store.
Whiskey 🥃 time!
What's the closest Whiskey to taste like a Werthers original?
I'm just here to giggle as they list off things they recently saw in a pantry
Good Morning Gentlemen.
what whiskeys are on the quintessential wall?
It’s actually pronounced like High-Bull. Confusing right?
I thought bulliet was sourced from mgp.
The rye is
Also is or was? Bc either way the answer is yes
how many bottles do they have?
Bul 10 $45
Rare $65
Here in Nyc
Wikipedia says that they opened their own distillery 3-17-2017. So it'll be sometime in 2022 to 2025 before any of it will be on the shelves.
“I wanna push the button and get the food”
That's a proper toast!
that sneaky Laphroaig coming at you
rare breed is soooo good for the price
