Kosher wheat is 7 year. The other NAS wellers are supposedly 5-6 year, so the age note makes sense. Online price for the Koshers is $100+.
I really enjoy these love or regret videos!! Keep up the great work!👊👍
Good content y'all. It's hard for me to skip through your video when it's packed full of great information.
Nice video guys. Good info there. Thanks
Great content here! Love this.
Hard truth is.... I love this channel❤️🙏
Redbreast is one of my favorite Irish, their 12 yr cask strength is stellar. That Barrell Rye is one I'll keep an eye out for.
You 2 are the best,Love your videos!!!!!
Thanks Rick!
Red Breast 12 may be the friendliest dear I say Smoothest Whiskey 🥃 to introduce new drinkers to. Yes it’s 80 proof yes it’s Irish but they got to get their toe’s wet somehow. Keep it around for them.
Have you tried the Redbreast Cask Strength 12? A little pricey, but such an improvement over the 40%. I keep hearing about Southern Star. I need to venture over to Statesville and visit the distillery.
Up until last year, you could get Redbreast 12 Cask Strength for like $10-15 over the 80 proof ver. I got mine for $65. But I was shocked to see it's over $100 in the same store these days.... I love both though.
RB12CS is probably our favorite Irish, all things considered.
Red breast 12 comes in Cask Strength. It is delicious, just a suggestion from a guy in Quebec😊
It’s probably our favorite Irish.
Hard Truth is starting to get noticed. Makes me wish I had bought more when I had the chance.
Can't wait to find the Hard Truth product. It is not currently available within 100 miles but I will ask my home store to try to get it. I am a rye lover
I care about how the bottles look Josh, don’t let her tell you no one cares. Haha!! Hard Truth bottles are cool looking!
Holiday toast has been on my list, but it’s like 80ish here in WI and that always stops me.
I was thinking the same thing the way she snapped him down! I think most everyone cares about the look of the bottle! Love you Erin!!
I like the kosher wheat more than Weller SR, and the twelve both.
Thanks for saving me $$ as I was thinking about getting Barrel Batch 35. Also I'm happy I was able to score that Lucky Seven Batch 6 Holiday Toast. Great to hear its from Bardstown. Also I'm shocked Erin isn't 35. I could've sworn she was early to mid 30s at most. Josh and Erin are ageless wonders.
I'm getting into the RYE, I've been getting into and loving the Wheaters
I'm in Oklahoma and just saw an ad on Facebook for Gunnar's wheated bourbon. They're in Sedan, Ks and are going to start selling in Oklahoma. They say their bourbon is made from locally sourced wheat. Kinda peaked my interest. 🤔🥃
I love the Hard Truth High Road Rye. For $40 it’s amazing!!!
My go to rye at a great price it Redwood Empire Emerald Giant. So much flavor in a 90 proof rye.
Great video! I just wish these products were available in the Canadian market. 😩
You both spoke to the flavour notes of “craft whiskey” as being different. How so? I’m curious as you can probably imagine that, at least in Ontario where liquor distribution is regulated, we don’t get access to as wide a range of craft bourbons and ryes. I get the sense that the majority may be off-putting if one is accustomed to the more conventional profiles of well-known whiskeys from legacy distillers. How would you describe the flavour? I can easily imagine the hoppier profiles of craft beers for example as we got tons of that around here, but I’m drawing a blank if I try to picture how a craft bourbon might smell or taste like.
Thanks and looking forward to the next video drop!
Great question! A crafty flavor is sort of a corn grain/corn husk type of note that’s distinctly different than the legacy distilleries. In its best form, it adds a robust sweetness. In its worst form, it can get quite “barnyard” like with a funky mustiness.
I have to admit I love the Redbreast and I have started my Redbreast 27 fund. I'm generally not a fan of lower proof pours but I do have a few that I absolutely love and EW SB and Redbreast 12 year are at the top of the list. Seriously. If I had to pick three for the rest of my life, I'd put those two in and add Whistlepig 10 year.
Good reviews, but our palate preferences don't line up. I don't prefer most things that are high Rye and Wheat is my preference. That Southern Star Paragon and BT Kosher wheater are very high on my favorite whiskey list.
I do appreciate a beautiful bottle especially when the whiskey in it is good. I feel like it elevates the entire experience. If the whiskey is crap then who cares about the bottle. As a watch geek, I have to ask if josh is wearing the Tudor white face GMT.
Thanks William! This is a limited edition opalin dial Monta Skyquest GMT that was actually out prior to the Tudor, but I do like the Tudor a lot!
The Kosher's are great at $50. Josh if you haven't had it yet you need to get the Rye Recipe, especially if you like the spice. I prefer it to Weller SiB.
Gonna grab me a Hard Truth! I get that Holiday Toast for 79 and feel good about it there.
Is there a video for the Barrell 33/34/35 blind?
That was something we did off the channel on personal time, but the results were so interesting that it was worth including as a personal anecdote.
scotch and irish whiskey will always have more flavor at 80 proof compared to bourbon because the cask strength is so much lower. Less water added.
Love your show by the way. Au revoir.
Red Breast 12 cask strength is where its at.
Chuckle ... I have a Sagamore store pick that I'd put up against the Hard Truth, but I'll definitely look for it.
Sagamore store picks are up at 110 proof which would certainly bowl over pretty much any low 90s proofer. We’re definitely Sagamore fans too and just did a pick of our own.
@@stuffandwhiskey Well, you got me there. Since I know you folks are in the Nashville area, I'm curious to see if the Hard Truth shows up in my area of North Georgia.
Hard Truth isn't available near me. Y'all enjoy it.
Hoping their distribution footprint continues to expand as they grow.
Just wondering what you mean by, “signature craft note?” I’m honestly asking because I’ve have many craft whisk(e)ys and experienced notes all over the spectrum.
I'm not even sure what "craft" means in this context. Does it mean a small distillery? Then Jim Beam and Jack Daniel's were once craft distilleries. Does it mean a new distillery? Ditto. Does it mean a pretty much unknown distillery? Ditto again. It seems to me that "craft" is like "small batch" - it means whatever the speaker means at the time, which is to say it doesn't actually mean anything.
Great question! A crafty flavor is sort of a corn grain/corn husk type of note that’s distinctly different than the legacy distilleries. In its best form, it adds a robust sweetness. In its worst form, it can get quite “barnyard” like with a funky mustiness.
@@stuffandwhiskey , It has me wondering if smaller (craft) distilleries are having a tendency to make their cuts from heads and/or tails a bit more generously, thus opening the potential for these nose and tasting notes to more frequently be included in their flavor profiles.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Triva question for you both. Who was Big Nose Kate?????? She was the girlfriend or “companion” to Doc Holiday
Low proof is my problem with pretty much all Irish whiskey. You can get barrel proof bourbon for ~$45-55 all day, but for anything over 95 proof in Irish you have to go for Blue Spot which is like $130, and miss me with that.
Redbreast 12 Cask Strength? It's 117.2 proof
I haven't had any of these Bourbons, but recently saw them Bourbon hunting, which one or one's would you say is a "Definitely Buy if you see it." Frey Ranch $50, Pursuit United $65, Blue Note (Store Pick) $45, Tin Cup 10 Year $55, Wilderness Trail BiB $53, ASW Fiddler (Store Pick) $80, Doc Swinson's Alter Ego $70, Journeyman wheat cask strength $72.
We’re definitely big fans of Pursuit United, a good Blue Note store pick from palates we trust, and that Doc Swinson’s is pretty good as well. None are bad though, but none would likely be must buys based on our own palate preferences.
Thanks guys, will definitely pick up that Blue Note Store Pick. Really enjoy your channel!@@stuffandwhiskey
I haven't tried that Hard Truth release but all their others were dissapointing. I'll give it a shot but I'm doubting it beats out Redwood Empire Emerald Giant (and that's $30). Emerald Giant, Old Overholt BIB, 6yr Sazerac, and Rittenhouse BIB are all pretty tough competition in that under $40 and under 100 proof category. Also... I mean Old Overhold 114 exists for $30 too but I guess the proof is cheating. I'm rooting for Hard Truth - those guys seem super cool and I'll be staying at the distillery soon - but their whiskey hasn't impressed me yet. Their flavored vodkas tho... that stuff is insanely tasty.
Old Overholt 114 is a great call for sure! The rest we’ve either not tried or do prefer the High Road Rye. If those others are in your wheelhouse, High Road is definitely worth checking out.
Crafty LOL Josh all I could hear was the Beastie boys [ She's crafty ]
3:45 I learned when I hear the word craft.....it ain't good.
It’s definitely a very unique and polarizing note.
Redbreast Cask Strength is heaps better.
For sure. Some of the best value in Irish whiskey. I wish we got it in our market.
Say it An’t so. Two bottles Erin would pay over $80 for. Yall
Just some clarification, big nose Kate runs about $35
Do you know who "Big nose" Kate was? Doc Holliday's girlfriend
The Hard truth is Bourbon sucks. Gimme the good stuff….. haha 🏴
This is not how to win friends and influence people. 😂
There's good Scotch - and there's Scotch that isn't worth 2¢. The same is true of bourbon. But assuming that one's preferences are the infallible arbiter of quality is, at best, supremely arrogant.
Hard truths own bourbon won't come out until 2024
I really enjoy your content but I'm starting to sour on whiskey reviews because bottles change over time, and most reviews are neck pours like the bottles in this video. Case in point ECBP B523 - most whiskeytubers didn't like it but after the first third of my bottle it REALLY turned into something exceptional.
I think reviews should only be done after a bottle is finished. Just my $0.02...
I've made it a practice to only review a whiskey on the second or third glass. Not all whiskies change between the first and second, but enough do that it's just easier to treat 'em all that way.
For what it’s worth, we only do videos like this once every 2-3 months to update people on what we’ve gotten and what we think. Everything else we cover on the channel (probably 95%+ of our content) isn’t on newly opened bottles.
poor Josh. she's bossy. start your own channel Josh. youre obviously more knowledgeable and have more bourbon presenting and tasting etiquette anyway😂 just my opinion.
Nah, she’s not bossy. Our dynamic works for us and we like it just the way it is.
