    Had Highland Park cask strength over Christmas with my brother. It blew me away, it's well rounded and delicious. I'm not even a huge scotch guy but I'll be grabbing a bottle next time I see one.

      Cheers! Happy New Year! We discussed the HP Single Cask series a bit in our HP drinkthrough. They can be quite good. Overall, usually much more expensive than the HP Cask Strength, but probably (depending on the cask) a bit better and more intense.

    After watching a few different channels, I decided to try peated and malted scotches and whiskies this year. Hated them.
    1. Ardbeg. Bandaids. Burnt rubber. Sewage water.
    2. Jonnie walker gold. Pencil erasers.
    3. Balcones single malt. Dank moss.
    4. Oregon spirit rye. Moss, pencil erasers, grass.
    Silver lining is a better appreciation for bourbon and Irish whiskey. Cheers!

      That being the case… I really liked Dillons story and realized that Dutch said Chestnut Farms. I’d like to share my story from when a Good Samaritan like Dillon wasn’t there to help me. I went in to that wine store for a bottle of Coopers Craft 100 that their ap says is in stock but half the shelves were empty. Sales guy… “ yeah. we got hit hard today but I’m gonna help you out. The best whiskey we have in stock right now is Chestnut Farms. Have you heard of Pappy? Well this is made at their ghost distillery at Barton’s especially for us. Pappy’s grandson has run it for 15 years and makes this exactly the same way his grandfather did. I’ve had multiple different kinds of Pappy vanwinkle and this is exactly like it. You can’t find a better deal than this anywhere. In fact, I’ve sold cases of this today. This is so smooth and delicious. Would you like to taste it?”
      he then admitted that 4 or 5 of their bourbons are special offbrands made specifically for the Wine store by other major distillers. So I bought the $55 bottle of chestnut farms and brought it home. Obviously I can’t get my hands on Pappy so I decided to test it against a $23 bottle of Buffalo trace. Same proof, smell, taste, and finish. My reaction… what a rip-off! It’s $23 Buffalo trace in an Eagle rare/EH Taylor bottle with a different picture on the bottle. After some research, the bottle claims to be made at a distillery that doesn’t exist. However the only distiller in the same town as the one listed on the bottle is Barton 1792. Barton is owned by sazerac who owns… the Buffalo trace distillery. And viola… I’ve been scammed. So now sazerac and the wine store in question have lost my business.

    Proper 12 is as terrible as connor mcgregor as a person. Remus 5 is my whiskey of the year. Thought it was blended amazingly well and the availability and price were great. I went through my first bottle very quickly. Completely agree on old fitz tho. Wanted one for a while and once i tried it, theres nothing special about it. Thought it was so disappointing.

    These guys really earned my trust with the Bradshaw Bourbon review. I bought a bottle before I saw any reviews thinking "Well it's relatively high proof and it's not that expensive. How bad can it be?" After trying it, I thought "There is no way anyone could possibly think this is drinkable." I then watched some UA-cam reviews, trying to change my own mind. Most people agreed that it wasn't great but this is the only channel that really told the truth, IMO. I believe the quote was "All of the bad flavor notes of bourbon and none of the good." I do realize that everyone's palate is different but I feel that we should all be able to agree that Bradshaw Bourbon is truly awful.
    Also, as a perpetual tequila hater, I am surprised to say that these guys may have turned me around. After watching all the tequila reviews, I recently re-tried some tequila and am pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it. I didn't dive in to that world yet (I don't think my liquor shelf can handle it), but I am dipping my toes in the water.

  • @jasono.1629
    @jasono.1629 2 роки тому +3

    I get why you guys listed Remus V, the flavors were not blended together well, I also got the sweetness totally separated from the oak, delivered on my palate at different times, not blended. I think the less sophisticated masses (me included) didn’t care too much about that, because the sweet flavors were so dang good and the oakiness wasn’t overbearing but just the right amount, so it didn’t register as a problem that they arrived separately, not together. That problem has gone away with my bottle after being opened a few months, it’s s more blended now. A valid reason though to include it in your list as a disappointment, but not a dislike.

    Bourbon santa has a conspiracy theory that remus is just blented bottles thamgp couldn't get sold. I tent to agree. I thought it would be interesting to mix my 2 with belle mead cask strength to proof it up a bit and tease out other flavors. It tasted like i was eating wood chips.
    My remus 2 is on my most disappointing list.
