Could you do a review and a rundown on your whisky bible please?
Please don't take Jesus Christ name in vain like that. What's wrong with you?
Currently WT Longbranch is everything I like in a whiskey, period. Little smoky, sweet, and oaky. Delicious
I just found this channel yesterday. I am in my office loving this brother.
@@jarrydshokavich2678I would love to see this also!
Graphic designer here. Whoever your editor is, give them a raise. Love the quality of your videos.
Thanks man!!! I’m the editor so I’ll give myself a raise!! 😂😜👍🏻
@@JeremySiers Dude! I had a feeling. Keep that shit up. It's epic.
🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@JeremySiers Well played.
@@JeremySiers man these videos always have top-notch quality and editing. must take you forever but damn it’s a joy to watch!
Blackened is one of my favorite gifts to give to co-workers, friends and family. I print out the music list for the batch number when I gift it. Super solid whiskey and so far everyone has thoroughly enjoyed it.
Hey Sully we work together at the place and my birthday is coming up…sooooo but on a serious note that is a great idea, thanks 👊🏼
Where do I find the playlist for my bottle?
I was given a bottle signed by Lars as a gift...best whiskey gift ever
@@briancampbellrocks check the batch number and look it up online. The batch number is on the bottle.
That's surprising to hear because I thought James and Lars were sober.
Seems a bit unfair to put the Proper 12 in with bourbon so I did my own blind with it . I put it up against a bog water and a mug of diesel and it just finished just outside the top 3 so it just goes to show 🤷🏻♂️
😂
Y’all are honestly the only UA-cam couple I’d say are so adorable together. Just the way your wife looks at you and y’all’s interactions . You can tell y’all are real and enjoy eachother. So refreshing to see something natural. Great video. Somehow I got hooked on the first few seconds.
Ngl, Brother’s Bond is surprisingly good and pleasant. I typically steer clear of celebrity alcohol brands, but the wife’s a huge Vampire Diaries fan and asked me to pick one up out of curiosity. I was not expecting it to be as fun to drink as it is. It’s not complex, but I completely agree that for a newer whiskey drinker it’s a perfect introduction and would be great as a base for cocktails. Surprisingly quality for me!
I stear clear of anything with a celebritys name on it.
I gotta try that one. I have tried The Rock Tequila Teremana, Ryan Reynold's Aviation Gin, and even the limited edition Game of Throne scotch Whisky. All quite good.
I agree it’s good for those who are not big on whiskey , great for a party
I had the same experience. My wife wanted the bottle just for the sole purpose of having something from Vampire Diaries. I tried it with hesitation but was pleasantly surprised. It's mild, smooth and is good in any application whether it's drank straight, on the rocks, or mixed.
@@salamander337 I would guess that Ryan Reynolds wouldn't put his name on shitty booze
I'm not an overly experienced bourbon drinker, but I've gone through several bottles of Longbranch over the last couple years. Found it to be a great, easy drinking bourbon that doesn't break the wallet.
Sounds like you know what’s it’s all about to me. Cheers!
Bob Dylan wrote Knocking on Heaven's Door. It's been recorded by many artists.
And we’re counting on him for an informed review?
He sold his soul like most of the entertainers did to get big...
@@shanebogenreif2789 No he didn't.
Matthew McConaughey had Long Branch blended to be an easy drinker that he could enjoy with one ice cube. You were right on on that flavor profile.
I don’t mind Bobs Heavens Door bourbon. Tried their double cask and cask strength and it wasn’t terrible. Wild Turkey long branch isn’t bad either. But Proper 12 is dog shit.
Well yeah it kind of is...first time I opened and poured P12 I immediately saw what was wrong...the nose and flavor were totally mismatched...that said I HAVE tasted far worse whiskies so there was, I think, a bit of celebrity whiskey hate going on with how people were slamming it. curious about the Dylan whiskey though.
Heck yeah! “It’s TIME…!” You and Allison make a great team and really make me laugh. “Famingo”! 😂 Great topic to cover, Jeremy.
I loved this! I love seeing Allison in videos. As somebody very new to whiskey, please do a video with beginners whiskeys with her and which ones you both like the most.
Bob Dylan wrote and recorded the song in '73
It was also covered by the grateful dead, and the Jerry garcia band ,and Bobby and rat dog played im shore others covered
he should know that
Written by Bob Dylan for the soundtrack of the movie Pat Garret and Billy the Kid. Directed by Sam Peckinpah. Classic.
I felt the same about Proper 12. It’s like the Coor’s Light of whiskey. The battle says there’s alcohol, but you can’t taste it.
Blackened is effing SOLID! Love that stuff now I’m looking for the rye.
"Knockin' on Heaven's Door" was written by Bob Dylan for the soundtrack to the 1973 film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. Celebrity Whiskey can be good but usually cost a premium just for the name attached. Heard good things about Three Chord Bourbon by Pat Benatar's husband/guitarist Neil Gerardo.
Not a big fan of celebrity whiskeys (as if they care what I think) because, like you say, they're all multi-millionaires putting their names on bourbons that a lot of us can't really afford. Went to a Three Chord Bourbon tasting that my bar put on right before Covid. Met the "master distiller" only to find out that the bourbon is made by MGP and bottled in Michigan. Like the Metallica whiskey, they allegedly play music (put sound waves through the barrels) to allow the liquid to touch more of the wood.....super gimmicky. If I'm not mistaken the Bob Dylan bourbon is also a product of MGP. If the bottle doesn't say "distilled by" whoever is claiming to make the whiskey, it's probably a recipe someone got from MGP and slapped their name on it to make a few bucks and pretend to be a whiskey aficionado. A real distiller will have on their product's bottle "Distilled and bottled by (distillery) and the state in which is was distilled. I hate to admit it, but the Longbranch is pretty good because it is 6-8 year old Wild Turkey bourbon which has been filtered through mesquite charcoal (the McConaughy) influence. But it can still be called Kentucky Straight Bourbon because the mesquite wasn't part of the original distilling process. The bourbon had already been made. Sorry to bore everyone.
I love blackened and longbranch and yes Bob Dylan is the OG for Knocking on heaven’s door
I'm a huge wild turkey fan and Longbranch is one of my favorites, especially with a cigar.
The Blackend barrels conditioned with bass tones comes from the old days when they would bring barrels on ships, the motion of the ocean would keep the contents in constant motion.
Honesty is the best policy. Thank you for the great videos, can't wait to try some the top ones
Proper Twelve shouldn’t be put in this flight......
Heavens Door & Blackened has to be the best on the list you have there. Great quality video, love the setup🤘🏾💀🇺🇸
Cheers 🤘🏾💀🤘🏾🇺🇸🥃
BOB sang it first. It was wrote for a 1973 film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. It wasn't until 17 years later on June 26th 1990 that Guns and Roses released their cover of the song.
I always enjoy the wild turkey, longbranch. A fine good small batch bourbon. Mashbill also well balanced.
Recently tried Longbranch and really enjoyed it. Proper 12 was awful. It's been a couple years, but I remember it having a very metallic and bitter taste. And not bitter like an IPA bitter, but like chemically bitter.
I'm trying my hardest to get a bottle of Blackened (which I have had and loved), Blackened Cask Strength, Blackened Rye The Lightning, and Blackened Willett Collab. I love Metallica, Whiskey, and especially rye whiskey, so I want to do a big taste test with my friends.
Tasting whiskey for the first time, and blind, is way harder than folks think. That’s what we do, and it won’t make anybody look like they know their stuff, but it sure is fun. Great video guys!
Man is it!!
FYI Brothers Bond mashbill is actually a four grain. The proportions are believed to be 65% corn, 22% rye, 7% Wheat, and 6% malted barley. MGP sourced. Loved the video, keep it up!
I've had most of those. Blackened was definitely the best of the group.
Great great video. I just finished off the Blackened while looking at this video. Love this whiskey.
My GF is in love with the guys who made Brothers Bond so she added a bottle to my collection. I did a little research and they purposely wanted to have a very low proof whiskey because they wanted their fans to enjoy it as well. And since their alcohol legal fan base are 21-23yr old women that probably never drank whiskey, they wanted something easy for them to enjoy. They're in the works on a 10, 12 and 15yr and a cask strength.. if I recall correctly
Wild Turkey Longbranch is the one that got me hooked. I can't ever hate on this. This is where I would start any beginner. Yes, im biased, but I tasted Blantons, Woodford Double Oaked, and 1792 SB. I was unimpressed with them all until I tasted WTLB. 🥃
Stepdad loves Wildturkey. I'll have to get him a bottle of that Longbranch. Gives me an excuse to also get myself a bottle of Blackened while I'm there!
Bob Dylan wrote Knocking on heaven's door and recorded the original for the film about Billy The Kid.
In January 1975 Eric Clapton played on Arthur Louis's recording of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" which was arranged in a cross-over reggae style. After the recording sessions with Louis, Clapton recorded his own version of the song which was released as a single in August 1975 two weeks after Louis's version.
Songwriter(s): Bob Dylan
Im glad you reviewed brothers bond. Its my solid daily pour that i sip on without thinking too much. Its actually a 4grain bourbon, and they are coming out with a cask strength later this year. The two guy love bourbon and blended it themselves to fall under a brown-foreman profile. Great video🥃
Really pretty impressed with that one. I thought it might be trash but it’s actually a nice easy sipper.
Really enjoy these videos. Good banter, discussion and good video idea. Most informative statement "If its easy drinking, its usually simple". You two are awesome!
Not sure why you'd throw an Irish in the mix with bourbons but loved the video and can't wait to try Blackened now
Yes, he did. 1973 used in the movies Pat garret & Billy the Kid. There are numerous covers G&R being the most recognizable.
Have to completely agree with you about Proper 12, definitely not a favorite. I now will have to try the Blackened, was always curious, just couldn't pull the trigger.
I buy whiskey in Ireland, and I have never once seen anyone buy proper 12. It has a bad reputation here.
Try Redbreast 12, for a proper Irish whiskey.
i love proper 12, it reminds me of a cheap redbreast. i think proper 12 is a great place to start in irish whisky. I prefer it over jameson.
@@MeffGames its also called Proper 12. McGregor said it was named after Dublin 12, but the real reason is a con. Usually the number on a whiskey refers to the age. 12 year old whiskey is usually expensive. This is not okay, and will probably be illegal soon.
@@IndridCold. dont be ignorant the bottle has an age statement , have you even tried it? You would know that if you held the bottle
@@MeffGames Proper 12 is just left over Bushmills slops. If you want something similar but nicer (and cheaper) just get a bottle of Bushmills Original, or Black Bush for around the same price as proper 12.
"do it blind with your significant other" is gonna be my new hobby
Yes, Bob Dylan sang Knocking on Heaven's Door first lol. Hence the name, Heaven's Door XD
i adore wild turkey and i really really like Longbranch. Blackend also sounds pretty interessting. Ill try to pick one up
Haven't had any of those whiskeys yet but I'll smoke a RP Decade with ya for sure while tasting. Great videos ya all!
It'd be fun to mix some other non-celebrity ones into some of these to see how they rank vs others
Heavens door Bourbon was really good, surprised you didn't go that route.
Great video. always enjoy them. especially when it’s you and your wife LOL! Speaking of double-barreled products hows that Woodford coming? 🥃💨
Great video. Great chemistry! I'm just about a year into my whiskEy journey. Excellent editing and graphics. Super fun. Subbed
Hi Jeremy.. love your videos.
I recently purchased the Whiskey Bible for my Birthday... i think it would be great if you could do some kind of video or tutorial on how to use it.
Maybe your best recommendations on what type of pen is best, and how to properly store it, and care for it.
I absolutely love the Whiskey Bible. Thank you again for this.
Blessings.
I’ve been watching your videos here and there but I think I’m going to become a regular here after this one. You guys had me with a big smile at the end, very fun to watch from start to finish
dude i was checking out Blackened and it retails in the UK for around 200 to 250 pounds not sure what the exchange rate currently is but...... wow thats quite alot of mark up on import. im gunna try the Heavens Door instead currently around 70 pounds a bottle.
I feel like it would be good to throw in a regular whiskey too, just to see where it lands. Like a wild turkey 101 or something that you are familiar with, but keep it blind as well. That would be really interesting on these blind experimental episodes!
Great video. Next time to keep the suspense up, go from worst to best and the last two explain the difference between them and why you are choosing the one that is going to be your favorite. Thanks for all the great videos👍🏼
I would like to see a video on whiskey smoking. Haven't flipped through your video library yet to see if you have, But It's something that has my interest.
Gotta get my hands on Blackened cigars now too! I love the Blackened Rye and want to pair them.
Not sure if someone already said it but, Bob Dylan wrote KOHD, GNR did a great cover of the song though. Great video! 🤘
Again, thank you for the entertainment! Very much enjoyed the video, nice interaction with the two of you, much fun & I learned some stuff too! Thanx again!
Sorry Jeremy, don't know what Tele_gram is.
My taste buds are more in line with Allison's, which is reasonable since I'm a woman, albeit probably 40 years older. I've never tried Blackened, Heaven's Door or Longbranch but I'm going out now and getting all three. Great video. I'm a new subscriber but I've seen enough to know you're a man who's worth listening to. I learn something valuable from every video I've seen on here and I thank you for that.
Yep, Bob Dylan wrote Knockin' On Heaven's Door, and like many Dylan songs, the covers wind up getting more well known these days.
Also, Bradshaw won Super Bowls with the Steelers for the 1974, 75, 78, and 79 seasons, but won the Super Bowl MVP for the 78 and 79 seasons also, so that's probebly why those years are there.
The sandlot reference lol. I use it nearly everyday. "Your killing me Smalls!"
Really enjoyed the episode and love my whiskey and cigar Bibles! Have you tried Rare Stash (Dustin Poirier whiskey)? I'm taking the fam to Florida for spring break, so I'm searching for it because I haven't seen it on any shelves in Indiana
I’m loving all your content! I wish I could enjoy the cigars you review though, but I quit smoking cigarettes 2 years ago and I know it would just be a gateway back into a pack a day.
I have been enjoying a Three Chord (Neil Geraldo) 116.6 proof barrel pick 35% honey/65% toasted and while the standard Three Chord may not be the most talked about, this particular barrel pick is very tasty.
I got a bottle of Dylan's Heaven's Door Cask Strength this past xmas. 122.8 proof. High Calibur and high quality! And yes Knocking on Heaven's Door is pure Dylan from the Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid soundtrack. Tho I remember the Guns and Roses cover well too.
Dillon first did Heaven Door. I have 2 of 3 and love them both!!
The Slipknot No. 9 whiskeys are really good! A bit sweeter than other whiskeys which I like. They’re a bit expensive and really difficult to get, at least here in Massachusetts.
I'm really curious what you would think of the new Slipknot #9 whiskey. The reviews were pretty good from non fan sources but you never know!
Love you both doing these kind of videos! That longbranch i've tasted and is ok. btw, your cigars from privada are amazing!
Thanks man!!
I've liked Blackened enough that I try to keep it around all the time, but I'm going to try out Bradshaw and Brothers Bond based on this.
Great video! Long branch is currently one of my favorite bourbons, I love the smokiness and will always keep a bottle. Brothers Bond is surprisingly good, another keeper. I will be trying Blackened next, not even going to bother with Proper 12 lol.
Heaven's Door is a go to for me! The double barrel is my fave and I can easily find it in South Carolina!!!
7:05 Australian Ned Whiskey have done the same thing but supposedly played repped laps of V8 supercars going around Mount Panorama race track as Ned Whiskey was a sponsor on one of the race cars
I just found this channel 30 minutes ago. I was surprised you didn't like McGregor's. I haven't had it myself but i have had Bushmill's and as far as the cheap Irish Whiskeys go, they're one of the best IMO. I'm a Scotch guy and haven't really gotten into American Whiskeys so hopefully i can find some good stuff on this channel. Great video BTW!
Great to see you guys in another video, keep on keepin on...
Love the videos with the wife. They are super fun!!
Haven't had the Cask strength Blackened yet, jumped to the Wes Henderson X bottle instead. Really good tasting bottle. The Bradshaw is another good bottle. Agree with the Proper 12. Not terrible but not sure I'd ever buy it. Just to light for my tastes.
I thought I considered myself a connoisseur of whiskey….but after watching this I realised I’m just a social drunk lol…who loves nothing better than getting pissed off any whiskey I get my hands on
This is true tasting at its finest…I’d be wasted by the third glass only because I finished the other two off…..and keep a bucket close to me in case lol
Great video 🔥💯❤️
You didn't know Bob Dylan wrote "Knockin' on Heavans Door" but you know the Fibonacci Sequence? You're a drinker all right? Enjoyed the video. Good job.
UA-cam suggested you one day when you were building a desk and I randomly watched it. As someone who is also into whiskey, BBQ, and cigars, I continued watching. Big fan of your channel and love your reviews. Your wife is super cute and fun to watch on these tastings. My wife is not into whiskey too much either but always seems to have a better palate than I do. Maybe due to the cigars? Keep it up bro!
Appreciate ya my brotha! 😎👊🏻
I’m watching this video while sipping Blackened. Great whiskey. I also like proper twelve as my go to. That said you can taste why blackened is about 20 bucks more a bottle. Worth it though
Longbranch is a solid bourbon. No way Eddie Russell and Wild Turkey is going to let something mediocre go out. This is one I give to friends new to bourbon and it never disappoints.
There is a Jefferson’s bourbon that is aged in barrels at sea (in boats). And I thought it was gimmicky, but I think it taste amazing. I think there is something to splashing/moving around the spirit within the barrel!
First time seeing your content, you guys do a really good job and very engaging. Now i want some Blackened. Cheers!
The blackened is great. I was afraid to try it at first and really hate it since I am a huge fan of Metallica but I'm glad my fear was not the truth I really enjoyed it. Thanks for the review
Love that you don’t play it safe. Not afraid to do these blind taste tests and put your opinions out there. 👍🏼 SUBSCRIBED
Longbranch is my new favorite easy drinking bourbon! Probably have been through 5 bottles the last few months.
Okay, well I guess I'm gonna have to try Blackened now. The only one of those I've tried is Proper No. 12. I found it was similar to Jameson but slightly more peppery. Not something I'd drink neat, but that black pepper taste comes out a little when mixed with coke, which is kinda interesting.
tells enough you mixed it with coke
As someone who has bought several bottles of Metallica’s Blackened Whiskey it is very smooth. And what’s cooler about a whiskey that while it ages in a barrel one of the Metallica albums is played through the barrel. I have almost all of the years batches. Blackened is definitely worth a try. I just can’t wait til it actually comes to Oklahoma as right now I have to order it online with one that is willing to ship to me.
My wife got me some Tiege Hanley for Christmas and loved got it on automatic reorder!
If you haven't spent time with Irish whisky I would agree that Proper 12 is a tough taste to become comfortable with. However I believe most Irish is an acquired taste. Especially if you have had numerous small batch types of Irish.
Was hoping Sassenach was going to be in here. I'll have to give Heaven's door & Blackened a chance, though!
I knew as soon as Blackened was in this it was going to win. That stuff is divine.
MMA whisky done right… look into Warbringer Warmaster edition, by Josh Barnett. It’s a Mesquite smoked bourbon finished in Sherry casks. Very unique and he actually is very hands on in the process.
At the very beginning I said where's Lagavulin...ah never mind he said gimmick. And was happy to hear you clarify that. Great video.
i just bought Brothers Bond and im so happy with it and i've been drinking bourbon/whiskey for years
Bob wrote that song for "Pat Garret and Billy the kid" , he also was in the movie.
You should watch Sam Peckinpaw's movie Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid. It's where the song Knocking on heavens door is from. It's a classic movie scene...which Dylan wrote
Fun entertaining video and love having you and your wife on together...would love to see you two doing a leaf and barrel!
Proper twelve tastes like scotch tape adhesive to me. Heaven's Door barrel proofs can be fantastic, but I guess I need to try Blackened and Bradshaw. They sound good!
I'm a fan of the regular Blackened but the cask strength is where it's at.
I hate proper twelve but you guys should compare it to other Irish whiskeys. I’d love to see how it compares to others in the same category
