I love the opening music. I love your banter. I love the serious cowboy bit. I love when one person finds their person and it’s so obvious that they are each other’s person. You guys are cute, funny, entertaining, and probably the only couple I’d ever go on a double date with. Keep doin’ this, I’m about to watch your other videos.
Love, love, LOVE this one!!! I got a bottle of this a few weeks after its release and do have another in my bar. Its delicious!! #CheersFromTheWasteland #ThanksChad #ThanksSara
This is my favorite under $20 bourbon (18.89 near me). Tastes like something that costs more. I appreciate seeing you two do something available everywhere at a reasonable price. I sure hope they keep making it. Have not tried devils cut so would be very interested in a Jim Beam flight fight.
This is my new fav in the JB line up. I do get stewed red fruit on the palate and oak not really smoke. Non chill filtered gives it a great mouth feel as well, in its price range it is King
What I Truly find interesting to see is the full evolution of the "well" bourbons. Not to long ago Jim Beam, Knob Creek, Old Forrester, even Heaven Hill we considered to be "of the lower grade" on the bourbon shelves. It is so amazingly awesome to see them be given that second look as Bourbon drinkers realise they have had hidden gems just sitting right there in plane sight. So very cool. Cheers -J.O.
Would love to see a Jim Beam flight fight. I like the Jim beam Choice. Chad said they don't make it anymore, here it's still available. Guess i need to stash it. Nice review, how does it hold out against Wild Turkey 101?
I'm usually not a fan of JB products, but tasting this one blind recently I thought it was pretty good. Oddly enough I also like the Devil's Cut. The Distillers Cut is pretty solid for the price though, keep up the good work!
I'm in total agreement. Jim Beam's Distiller's Cut is surprisingly good, but I've really enjoyed it and the Devil's Cut has made its way into my regular bourbon buying list as well. Looking forward to the Jim Beam flight fight.
I concur , Not a fan of JB White label at all. Like the Devil's Cut , But when I tried Distillers Cut ( recommended by a friend) I like the Distillers Cut even more. For the price... It's wonderful!
Looking forward to the fight flight on these. I have only had the original and devil's cut, and want to hear a comparison across the line before I know which one I want to try next.
Sorta off the beaten path with regard to the video, but I am headed to Louisville at the end of the month for a 4 day bourbon trail trip. I would love your opinion if there is a place that is not a distillery that you would recommend for either a private tasting or just a cool place to hang and chill and drink bourbon. I think I got over zealous with making an itinerary full of distillery tour after distillery tour and a chill place or private tasting would be a great alternative. We will be in Louisville one day, Bardstown one day, and Frankfort/lawrenceville area another.
Great Uncorking guys! I don't mind screw tops. Has not happened to me yet. But I've herd horror stories of corks breaking when opening the bottle, pieces of the cork breaking apart and having to filter them out or the worst one yet getting mold. Have you experienced anything like this?
It always surprises me how many people automatically put their noses up at the mention of Jim Beam. I tell them: "Just because something is readily available where we live, that does not make it garbage. If all you have had is White Label, then move up a shelf". As a lover of all types of whisk(e)y, I feel sometimes that people who love a certain type of whisk(e)y only ever try the bottom shelf of other types of whisk(e)y because they want to spend as little as possible on an experiment. It is too bad really. I still firmly believe that if the two of you had a first fill bourbon cask Balvenie 12 Year for your scotch instead of a smokey, heather peated Highland Park Magnus, you may have come away from the Dummies' Live Stream with a different opinion. Anyway, love the reviews as always, and would love to see a true Jim Beam Flight Fight as well. My favorite so far is the JB Black Double Aged 8 Year which I bought a large amount of when I caught a whiff of NAS on the horizon. Cheers!
I agree. I don't understand people getting snotty over Jim Beam. It's a solid, classic bourbon. Is it going to blow your mind? No. Is it Kentucky Gentleman? No. Is it in between? Yeah. It's bourbon. Don't be weird. Haha
So I'm confused on the "Limited Release" thing. Was the 2017 release the only one and bottles are just hanging around? I found out about this juice yesterday and while I was out hunting today I grabbed a bottle. I also saw a bunch of it at a couple of other stores. Anywho, damn good $20-23, I need to get a $23 Evan SiB to compare though since I haven't had that in years. Either way, if they aren't making any more I might grab a spare or two. As I sip it and listen to you talk about the smokiness I find myself wondering about why they made it. Maybe it was barrels that were gaining oak/char flavors too quickly. It's intriguing that it's so oakey/smokey at such a young age.
Vinceand Theresa Overall, we like them. It’s weird tho, it makes some whiskeys taste much better and others it kind of hurts it. I think it’s a case by case basis. We have an episode on it if you wanna check it out. It’s one of our early ones, so beware.
@@ItsBourbonNight Thanks. I have a set of the glasses and I would agree. Sometimes I like the way the drink smells in the Norlan and sometimes not. Like you said, weird. I will definitely check out the episode. Great channel!
Great video as always! I know Chad is a self-proclaimed "Beam" guy, but I can't remember if I've seen OGD BiB or 114 make an appearance in a flight fight or uncorking. How do you feel that the Distiller's Cut stacks up against the OGD offerings?
Ryan D The OGD line up was in our first episode, 50 under $25. Also used the 114 in our Tight Spot cocktail episode. Haven't done an Uncorking of either yet, though.
How come you guys do not return to a bottle a fortnight or so later to give us an idea how it's changed after oxidizing just a quick review before the main event
Shaun Russell That's kind of what we're doing with our Live shows every Sunday. We've done 1 episode so far where we revisited 4 previously Uncorked bottles to see how they've faired. Might work one revisited bottle into every Live episode now unless the show has a big topic that needs all the attention.
Found a bottle of this at a local store that overcharges for EVERYTHING, but this was $20 there (and it was their last bottle). Since I hadn't seen it in at least 2 years, it kind of won by default. I just did a blind flight between this, Buffalo Trace and Old Forester 100. This was my least favorite; found it dry, surprisingly unsweet and mostly tasted like dry, roasted peanuts with oak and a bit of tobacco. I can definitely appreciate it, but it strikes me as something I'd pair with a cigar (I don't smoke, so feel free to flame me) rather than something I'd pour to enjoy.
Great video. Very entertaining. Enjoyed it. I had an idea... you might not like it... Here goes: I think in some cases you should compare something you're taste testing versus some other similar bottle. After uncorking and tasting you could have a second bottle to help and compare against. Daniel from the Whisky Vault (Level 3 Whisky Sommelier) early on said that the way our smell and taste works one really should compare versus something else in order to help calibrate your senses. That is useful in bringing out flavors, etc... Whatever he said, it convinced me at the time. Whenever I 'taste test' something I now also compare it versus something similar. That does seem to help. Just trying to be helpful. Cheers!
I remember when I contacted Beam back when it was rumored Choice was going away, the response I got stated that they were going to be using the whiskey for "another project"
Found it too harsh and agressive. Pepper bomb. Burns long and hot. Very acidic. Would compliment a robust cigar. Not a meal or straight sipper. Possibly for poker night when you make the final table.
I like this, one of my favorite newer releases especially for the price.
I have been looking for this for awhile. But haven't found it here in NV. Glad you guys liked it. I will keep looking.
I love the opening music. I love your banter. I love the serious cowboy bit. I love when one person finds their person and it’s so obvious that they are each other’s person.

That opening music is FUNKAY. Where’d ya get it? Who made it?
From a site called Epidemic Sound.
The best beam product I've ever had. Its smooth, full flavored, and has the bite. 19.95 on sale. A steal.
Love, love, LOVE this one!!! I got a bottle of this a few weeks after its release and do have another in my bar. Its delicious!! #CheersFromTheWasteland #ThanksChad #ThanksSara

Your shows are getting better and better!
Richie Z Thank you!
I love your Uncorking videos!
Tom R And we love you, Tom.
Would love to see a Jim Beam flight fight. I like the Jim beam Choice. Chad said they don't make it anymore, here it's still available. Guess i need to stash it. Nice review, how does it hold out against Wild Turkey 101?
Chris Tian Good question, have to do it blind to know for sure, but I would think the WT 101 would win.
I had to go back to this bottle a month after it was opened. Initially, all I got was heat. It opens up nicely after a few weeks.
I'm usually not a fan of JB products, but tasting this one blind recently I thought it was pretty good. Oddly enough I also like the Devil's Cut. The Distillers Cut is pretty solid for the price though, keep up the good work!

Haven't seen this one in Australia but would love a bottle!
Looking forward to the fight flight on these. I have only had the original and devil's cut, and want to hear a comparison across the line before I know which one I want to try next.
The Peanut Brittle hit the nail right on the head. That's how I described it. It manages to be both sweet and salty. I liked it better than the Black.
Sorta off the beaten path with regard to the video, but I am headed to Louisville at the end of the month for a 4 day bourbon trail trip.

Happy early birthday chad!!! Also if you do a jim beam flight fight there should be a wild turkey Russell reserve (minus the 81 & long branch)

This limited release sure has lasted a while 😉
not around my parts, it's become rare sadly
The Distiller's Cut is an amazing value! Little Booker's!
Chad, have you tried the Wild Turkey Long branch? If you have, what did you think?
Charles Nappo Yep! We have an Uncorking review on it, check it out!
I love the Beam Devil's Cut, I found the Distillers Cut a lot like Devil's Cut, but smoother. Thoughts?
totally disagree, very different bourbon's
Noughat...
How many times is that word used? Love the descriptor.
JB distiller cut is my favorite in the cheaper line of JB products not bad for 16.99
Sara didn’t catch the blatant hint at 9:11 haha
Rob Banta How convenient!
JB Single Barrel is also tasty. This one is on my list to try next!
Does it have any characteristics of there higher end line? (Bookers, knob creek, Basil Hayden)

I feel like that the Norlan glass doesn’t hold the flavors very well.
I really like this distillers cut and it’s only $15.99 in my area.
Wow!
How do you like the Norlan glasses?
Vinceand Theresa Overall, we like them. It’s weird tho, it makes some whiskeys taste much better and others it kind of hurts it. I think it’s a case by case basis. We have an episode on it if you wanna check it out. It’s one of our early ones, so beware.

What about throwing the double oak in a flight fight. You said you wanted to try that in its uncorking
Tony Cronin Yep, sounds great!
Was this a one-off release, or is this still out in the wild? I first came across this two years ago and haven't seen it since.
The Box helps in keeping the light out, some alcoholic beverage will deteriorate over time if exposed to light.
Jeam beam is nice! Girl is very beautiful) greetings from Russia!

Being 3rd after John Belushi is a life long dream!
Clint McCoy Congrats!
Where is the cork ?. Cheap Screw cap that is it ?.
Yep.
Cork isn't as good as "fake cork" or a screw cap for preserving what's in the bottle
Chad always pours himself out more than he pours Sara.
Jim Beam Choice disappears....Distillers Cut appears, coincidence? I'm betting this was Choice juice without the filtering.
Mike Brady And not cut down to 80 proof like Choice was.
I remember when I contacted Beam back when it was rumored Choice was going away, the response I got stated that they were going to be using the whiskey for "another project"
A shot for "nutty" 😂😂
JIM BEAM FLIGHT!
love youse guys
Being 2nd after @Tom R is kind of like being 1st!
If you still need a Mod for Sunday, I am available.
Double oak is the best!
Blue label Forester. Bout the best bang for the buck. Whomp.
It's Film Noir Bourbon
I can literally walk 75 feet west and there are 6 bottles in a convenience store for 24 bucks
Well the oHIo warehouse has confirmed, all Distillers Cut has been distributed. Ya better buy whatever you see in stores.
Apologies for my ignorance since becoming a dad I seldom find any time to watch videos it's a 24 / 7 job
Shaun Russell Oh, I can imagine! No worries, thanks for watching! :)
You guys should review the Knob Creek Smoked Maple 👍🏻🥃
The girl want me to drink more...
Traditionally, bottle drips must be licked off the bottle in one stroke of the tongue. It’s good luck if you can do it quickly. 👅 lol!
Found it too harsh and agressive. Pepper bomb. Burns long and hot. Very acidic. Would compliment a robust cigar. Not a meal or straight sipper. Possibly for poker night when you make the final table.
i n a u g u r a l
Well I just stay with the standard Jim Beam.....once you found it....why kick it to the curb
It's kinda
*N U T T Y*
taste like 4 in fancy bottol 👎
