Fox & Oden Bourbon and Double Oak are both good. 🥃
love that bottle almost a old fitz
Rebecca Creek! All their offerings are good, I didn’t see the double spanish oak but I haven’t had a bad offering from them yet
Wish the Spanish oak had been there for sure
Oh man the sanaig is good👍 if you’re able to grab any of their single cask releases, theyre phenomenal as well
This and the Kilchoman Machir Bay are rhe only two I have seen. That new Cask Strength looks amazing
Ha! I have the 1.75L JW Dant as part of my bottom shelf bottled in bond collection
Love that price
@@MajorXero i paid the same
Biggest problem is affes won’t invest
If affes would go do barrel picks for bourbon with big name companies we would loose our shit
Hey Major Catching up on the Vids been in Tulsa since last weds. just got back today , My wife loves the Blackberry on ice. A friend bought over Hibike one night smelled like peanuts and tasted horrible I threw it down the drain, I did win a Old Overholt 114 from Sean but have night opened it yet also picked up a Murray Hill in Tulsa ... Thanks
Do you like scotch at all?
@@MajorXero I have not tried many sctoches in my years but I the ones I have tried I have not liked any ... Thanks
@RandyLalonde they are an acquired taste for sure. Especially the peated ones
That Rebel pick or the Elijah Craig Barrel Proof. They are selling Old Grand Dad 114 at my local Costco.
Where are you located?
Man that Rare Breed you touched is only available at such places and travel exclusive. I would love that one for collection.
Yeah maybe next rime! Couldn't pass on the Kilchoman
It wouldn’t be as fun without technical difficulties lol. Great video!
it always happens when I get excited
Cheers! Enjoy the new bottles!
I am super excited for the kilchoman
I'd like to hear some commentary on the pricing. Does Navy Exchange get on average cheaper pricing than regular grocery stores?
From what I saw, not really . The savings come from not being charged tax.
yeah!
That port Charolette is amazing!
That is on the short list
That Kilchoman Sanaig is a fantastic whiskey but I’m a Kilchoman fan boy now 😂
Same! I really want to try the new cask strength
Man, was that a triple digit price for that Tesoro? Its good, but not .that. good.
10% off Ocho! Whoohoo!
I wasnt aware that the Navy still had an operation at Millington. Been into that airport a bunch, thought that it had all been returned.
The base has scaled down quite a bit the McDonald's is now a furniture store
👍👍👍🥃
Cheers
As you said in your video "you are going way too fast" Could not see the prices most of the time.
Sorry, it happens when I get excited. Now I shoot in 4k if your screen can handle bump it up and you should be able to pause see anything you want
That Stranahans Sherry Cask is a sherry bomb!
I will need to get a pour
Grandad 114 is on the shelf in my area.
It is allocated here! Where are you you located?
@@MajorXero It's everywhere here in Chicago. You can even get it at Costco for like $20! We could probably ship you some if you're interested.
I get my bottles when I travel and I get them from the kindness of friends. I am good for now!

@JJ-nh8lv must be nice
Haven’t seen Rebecca Creek around here before. Another good video 👍
Me either! Wish they had the Spanish oak
The reason you feel that way about Japanease Whiskey is, legend has is Suntory studied under Islay Masters for 20 years because he was obsessed with peated scotch. After his training he went back to Japan (historically simple pallets and profiles, Rice, fish, etc) and released a peated scotch thinking they were going to love it. They absolutely hated it, devistated he created Toki to troll the Japanease people, pear, apple, oak, very simple flavors, and of course they LOVED it. Legend has it that's what built Suntory and years later he was slowly able to bring Japanease people to the dark side with various iterations or single barrels of certain offerings with smoke and peat. But after the Toki craze others began distilling whiskey similar to Toki. That's why you have all these blends like Hibiki, Kaiyo etc very similar profiles that remind you of Scotch, with 0 bourbon characteristics, that focus on fruit, or so the legend goes 🙏🏾
Love it
Love it
@MajorXero This is a very inaccurate account of the history of Japanese whisky and is muddled by bad folklore, cultural misappropriation, and rumor milling.
The Japanese people have been painstakingly crafting whisky since 1890. It was originally made with rice in Peoria, Illinois by Jokichi Takamine and tasted like older bourbons, but the American whiskey market saw him as a threat to their industry because it was cheaper to produce, and his business was destroyed in a "mysterious fire." Some Japanese whiskies taste similar to scotch because of Masataka Taketsuru who took on apprenticeships for distilling in Speyside, Lowlands, and Campbeltown from 1919-1920. In 1923, Yamazaki distillery was built, and an inexperienced Taketsuru worked for (now called) Suntory owner Shinjiro Torii to produce whiskey. In 1929, the first Suntory whisky "Shirofuda" was released and tasted almost entirely like peat, lacking subtlety and expertise, so it didn't do well with the people of Japan. After years of disagreements between Taketsuru and Torii about the influence of Scottish tradition on Japanese whisky, Masataka left in 1934 to start Nikka distillery, arguably the largest producer of scotch-like whiskies in Japan today. In 1937, Shinjiro Torii became the master blender for Suntory and released Suntory "Kakubin," which had more bourbon focused notes like baking spice with honey and a light florality, and became an instant hit and a cultural icon for Japan.
Japanese culture is about building off of strong cultural values with the interest of their own population in mind, and their whisky is no different. Kaiyo is actually from Hong Kong, and has absolutely nothing to do with Japan. Eventually, Japan started to enjoy the flavors of scotch thanks to the success of Nikka as Taketsuru's skills grew, and Suntory eventually purchased brands like Ardmore, Auchentoshan, Bowmore, Glen Garioch, and Laphroaig. In 1985, Nikka began blending their whiskies to innovate new products like Nikka From the Barrel that evoked bourbon-like sweetness with strong scotch flavors. Suntory responded by creating Hibiki in 1989 and didn't create Toki until 2016, which was ONLY released for the North American market as a response to the US's explosive interest in Japanese whisky in the 2000s & 2010s. Japan has shown a very large interest in bourbon for a number of years (Kirin purchased Four Roses in 2002, and they love Jack Daniels + Blanton's over there) and their products are starting to show it more. In 2017, rice "Koji" whiskies hit the market, which taste like old bourbons from the 70s similar to Old Taylor, but aged at a minor fraction of the time needed (they are absolutely delicious!)
There's an entire range of different styles of Japanese whisky and flavor profiles that taste absolutely nothing like scotch and closer to bourbon. If you're looking for a Japanese product to satisfy your palate for both bourbon & scotch, I highly recommend that you try Nikka Coffey Grain, because it will change your mind. It has a mashbill made mostly of corn and tastes more like American whiskey than it does Scottish. And if you're ever interested in talking about Japanese whisky more, we'd love to collaborate between our channel and yours. Hopefully this helps clear things up and gives a little more insight into some of the similarities.
The base is also treated like duty free store pick up jack Daniels single malt there
Yeah it was my first but not the last time
Yeah buddy!
Thanks for the help
Love the early upload cheers 🍻
Yeah I will be traveling and we are still working on the house. Thought I would experiment!
Share his address so I can "inspect" his collection! Lmao.
He is on the Discord and a super nice guy. Get on there and say hi!
Way too fast for me. Cut down on the Scotch and Tequila use the time on the whiskey and prices.
Sorry, when I go to a new place, I tend to rush, and for the tequila and Scotch, I have a ton of requests for those as well. I will try to go shower next time. Thanks for commenting
Whilst I'm sure you know this already, just in case, Japanese Whiskey tastes like Scotch because the people who started the whole movement went to Scotland and worked under them to learn how to do it. When they took it back to Japan, they weren't selling very much and realized that it was because Japanese People tend to have a milder palate, so they "dumbed it down" a bit. 🐱💙🙏🏻👊🏻🌚
Makes perfect sense!
Hardly. The Japanese have been master distillers for many years and make some of the worlds best whiskeys .
@@mikemattis1204 I didn't say it was last year, fam. Everybody learns somewhere.
Sanaig is worth it!
I AM SO EXCITED
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for commenting
I need a way to send you a pic
The best way to get me is to join the discord. You can also get my email from my about page. And I have Instagram. All are listed in the description of the video
Send Dickle pics. Lol
I knew you would like that
Can't even hear the music. Your voice is loud and clear.
Awesome thanks!!
Gold bar is garbage. Don’t waste your money
I had heard that; but that is a great looking bottle
