My friends keep me well stocked on all my favorites like Macallans Rare Cask, Glenfidich 19 year Age Of Discovery, Pappy Van Winkles 23 year family reserve, and some cheaper stuff like Whistlepig The Boss Hog from some of my more unfortunate friends. And lets not forget the wine of course while soaking with my wife and a few of her friends in the sauna nothing is better than a nice perfectly chilled bottle of Ridge Monte Bello Cabernet Sauvignon along with my favorite cigar Gurkha His Magestys Reserve, of course my Aunt Lilleth always keeps me in supply. I find most bourbons more attuned to the common man whereas a fine Scotch whiskey for a more noble blood. I really shouldnt but I do enjoy a nice Regis Double Corona while sitting in the back seat while my man James blows the cobwebs out of the Bentley. It is nice to see that at least some americans try to live better even if they cant afford it. Tah Tah.
Knob creek it's something you should try as a everyday the reg 9 year small batch is just perfect at 100 proof! It's my no guilt drink that I enjoy. Good mixed or strait!
Ahhhh, such wonderful stuff and it makes me super envious you have the Pappy's in possession. My day will come someday. I am a fan of the Woodfords as well and they are always accessible and reasonably priced.
+Colin Kelly Hello Colin, Woodford is great, after making this video I went out and purchased a bottle. I got most of these bottles before the craze hit. It will diminish as most things and then it will become more available. All the best, Bill
Very nice!!!! I wish I can get Colonel Taylor here in FL. Very hard to find. I do have 6 bottles of Blantons!!! I love it. The GTStagg would be an icing to my palate. Pappy, just a dream come true nowadays.
I recently got into drinking bourbon- generally, I don't drink alcohol, but I bought a small bottle to cook with, and have been hooked on it! I'm attempting to get my own collection started, but it's hard to start a collection when I keep drinking it!
Stagg jr is beautiful rich bourbon! I live in Canada, so believe it or not, we have a small bourbon collection in our liquor stores, so I buy it whenever I can find the rarer stuff. Wheated bourbon and rye are my favorites, overall. You have an excellent collection, enjoy!
Very interesting tour! Thanks a lot for sharing this! Unfortunately - for most of the delicate Bourbons you showed - it would be vey difficult for me to get my hands on it... But I like the Woodfords Reserve and (my favorite stuff I can get here) the Knob Creek small Batch 9yrs...but probably to sweet for you..? Take care and be well!
+Bremen Pipe Smoker Knob Creek is a little sweet but still enjoyable. Like tobacco, i like different flavors on different days. Thanks for your comment. All the best, Bill
An enviable collection to be sure. Thanks for the tour and by all means continue with the subject. Fascinating information! All the best (BTW I agree with your wife - now is the time to enjoy some of that elixir.) Peace
OK you're speaking my language. Our tastes tend to opposite sides of the spectrum but I enjoy the spiceir bourbons none the less. Despite being part of the Beam line, Bookers is a phenomenal pour (IMHO). As an aside, my wife has had dinner with Booker Noe a couple times. It's been quite some time since I've tried G. Stagg, but you've motivated me to try and locate some. cheers!
awesome collection im relatively new to collecting i collect bourbon and jack daniels. i dont have any of the premiums bourbons you have but i hope i can find them in time.
First, thank you for your video. For the past 4yrs I've been a fan of Scotch but just recently started experimenting with bourbon. My first was Buffalo Trace, then Eagle Rare, then Makers 46, Blantons and finally Col. EH Taylor Small batch and that was amazing! Only problem is I cannot find the small batch anywhere, however, I see the Single Barrel and Rye pretty often, but those two are a bit more expensive. So my question is have you tried the other two and how do they compare? -S
That is an excellent collection. I am getting up there in the bottle quantity, but just irish whiskeys and scotches! I guess I'll have to give some bourbons a try! I just started up on youtube a few months ago, I would love if you could help a guy out and give some kind of shoutout in a future video. It would be greatly appreciated! thank you!
The single barrel will differ slightly depending on the barrel and will be a bit more complex in flavor. The small batch is very good as well, not lagging far behind in flavor in my opinion.
Nicholas, hope you got a bottle of each. I like the small batch for both flavor and price. The single barrel I found has a maple syrup type sweetness to it.
Alex Hazelwood I did. The small batch is readily available in Nashville. I love it. Had to go home to Milwaukee to find a bottle of the single barrel. Will crack that open Christmas Day.
