The single barrel was definitely a hitter! And thank you for that! We aren’t pros so we wanna keep it like a conversation instead of an evaluation. Appreciate the kind words!🥃
Just found your channel. JB products are my absolute favorite. You mentioned the Canlis single barrel - I have this one too. If you run across the Metropolitan Market pick, grab it. It's absolutely amazing and the best KCSB I've ever had. Got it at Proper & Ernest in Woodinville (unfortunately they don't have any more).
I get the 12 and 9 year reserve for 48 bucks here in ny, and store picks are 58 bucks! love them all, the standard 9 is damn hard to beat for the price.
It's my personal opinion that the 12 yr is the best bottle of bourbon under $100 you can buy. The 9yr is not bad, but I think there are better choices at that price point. The 18 yr is bloody delicious and worth every penny of it's high price. I've never had the single barrel, would love to try it. While I agree that everything comes down to personal taste, I have to say, your ranking of that 18 yr as 3 and 4 makes me question whether you guys have much of a palette for bourbon. Sorry but that's just wrong.
I'd have to agree. The 12 year is a fantastic bottle. And I'm glad you enjoy the 18! They wouldn't release it unless it was good. But it seems for us, the blind showed otherwise. We aren't the biggest Jim Beam fans in the first place. So maybe that contributed to the outcome. Thanks for watching! 🥃
Nice lineup, guys! I haven’t been the biggest KC fan, but I really enjoy the KC12. It has always come across more fruity to me than all other KC offerings. You guys ever try Bakers 7? If so, how does it compare to the typical KC profile? Cheers!
Thanks man! Good to hear from you! And I havnt had Bakers 7 in a long time! So I can’t really compare. Definitely gonna be in our Jim beam lineup vid though!
If the 18 doesn't finish last or second to last I'll be massively surprised. I'm not a fan of the 18 - over oaked. The sweet spot is actually the 9 year 120 proof or the 12 year.
Great point! We always struggle not going too long of a video. But it’s a balancing act! Also we cut a lot of tasting and quiet out so it's not boring.
Single barrel is far superior to the 12 to me. I have the 9 and single on my counter always with several backups. I've never seen the 18 and will pass in not a super oh ak lover. Enjoy!!
Single barrel every day for me. You guys play off each other well and do not just spew out tasting notes. Well done.

Love that you're in the area! We love Proper. We have the sister store in Tacoma. I live right by a Metropolitan Market. I'll have to grab a pick!🥃
My Canlis bottle: WH 1, floor 5, rick 38, barreled 12/DEC/2013
My Met Market bottle: WH Z, floor 5, rick 55, barreled 5/MAR/2013
Perfect! I'll do some comparing!
Cheers! Great video.
Thanks for watching!🥃
Chris you are looking healthy! And we need to plan a Kentucky trip!
I’ve been eating good😂 Let’s plan it!
That Knob 12 has a finish that goes on for days. Music festival length.
A little embarrassed it didn’t do well for me this time but I agree! It’s right in that sweet spot! Age does not equal better!!!
Woodford reserve is my favorite but Pendleton is my go to for like a pen 7
Great video guys......as soon as im back to 100% we need to do a live stream!
Yes! 100% Hoping a speedy recovery my dude!
Y'all saved me some money with the 18 year 😂. Loving the new bourban shelf. Cheers 🥃
Glad to help! For the price and jump in age, just not impressed! Grab that 12 or a SiB!!!
And thanks! Big change soon for the set!
I get the 12 and 9 year reserve for 48 bucks here in ny, and store picks are 58 bucks! love them all, the standard 9 is damn hard to beat for the price.
Man those are killer prices! 100% worth the money! And I agree. 9 year is tough to beat!

Knob Creek 9 is a great bottle!
Couldn’t agree more! A solid bottle!🥃
I have a 9 year SB that blows those bottles away. I'm lucky to have gotten a good barrel.
The magic of single barrels is unparalleled! Alsways looking for SiB!🥃
Hundreds of thousands😂😂😂…14. Had me cracking up
😂😂😂

Nice vid I Agree the 18 was not my favorite!!!
Glad we’re not the only ones! 😂

I agree. Just proves that an older, higher priced whiskey doesn’t mean better!
do they make a 15 year too?
Yeah they do, I figured having a significant 6 year jump would make it a little more interesting
The name knob creek makes me giggle a little bc it sounds like a place you would take your GF for some alone time.😂
😂😂😂 I love it
Interestingly, you guys barely dented your sample pours. I'd suggest maybe doing a bit more A/B comparing before picking ranking.

Blinds don’t lie! I’d have to agree. Very solid whiskeys. I was super happy with the “budget” end of this lineup!
