@Ken-Dad23 Год назад

Love the knob 9. The 12 is even better. And the single barrel 120 proof is one of my favorites - $50 store pick.

@ejf8350 Год назад

Glad to hear you like the Bruichladdich. There should be a batch code on the bottle that you can plug into their website. It'll tell you what type of casks went into the batch and their ages. Typically 75/25 ex-boubon/ex-wine. Their Islay Barley bottlings are very similar to the Classic Laddie. For that one they source all the barley from Islay farms which are named on the bottle. They're also usually age-stated around 8 years or so. The Bruichladdich Organic bottlings have been my favorite so far. All ex-bourbon casks. Beautiful whisky.

@Russ_L Год назад

Great video, make some more! Love to hear a quick review of what you picked up and whether you liked it. Cheers

@RJR2222 Год назад

Really enjoyed the content. I would love to see more of these types of videos.

@ernestpeacock1943 Год назад

Great video! I like the format. Please continue giving us what we want(and need). Josh's shirt is awesome🔥

@bkav6 Год назад

Lots of great bottles in here. Y’all have me hunting down the scotch aisles more than ever now!

@boswineguy5461 Год назад

Great video, the Classic Laddie used to have an 8 year age statement. It can be found with an 8 year age statement in a travel retail release that is currently out.

@CPGumby Год назад

"No regerts!" 😂 You're not helping my FOMO today, y'all, but I guess I'll FINALLY go and get the Classic Laddie and see what the fuss is all about.

@JJPP75 Год назад

Liked this as different than your other videos and feel a change up is good every now and then. Good way to do it. Also know you love blind samples but flight videos vs a side by side would be good too as a change up

@MAC-je7mr Год назад

LOVE the Arran 10 year! Such a great light, fruit forward single malt. I’ve heard their 18 year (new bottling) is a game changer. Sadly the 18yr is not available around me, but the 10 year for the price beats most, if not all, Maccallan bottles.

@BrewinSTL Год назад

The Classic Laddie is amazing! Funny, though, as a bourbon guy I feel this is light/bright/delicate on the profile. I get pear and apple on both the nose and palate...and LOVE it.

@rhayes458 Год назад

Great video and appreciate the transparency on how you feel about your purchases! Any plans of doing a video on rum? Not just a blind taste review, but more information on what to look for with sipping rums, findable/affordable options to start exploring rums, etc.. Thanks!

@stuffandwhiskey Год назад

As we explore more, possible. Right now our answer would be Foursquare heavy but we know there are other options out there at lower proof and price points that are well worth checking out.

@keithaltazin2953 Год назад

I like the idea behind this video. I very much like the emphasis on value and not simply on price. Hope to see more videos like this.

@Johnny_3_Putt Год назад

Knob Creek 9 Year quite literally triggers my gag reflex. I’m not being bombastic in any way. I’ve never met or heard of anyone else who didn’t like it. Very glad to hear I’m not the only one who doesn’t enjoy it.

@neilrobertson6849 Год назад

I haven’t had either of those Foursquare bottlings, but of the several I have tried Detente is my favorite. Aged in ex-bourbon and ex-port casks. The red fruits really work well with the traditional rum flavors.

@cnwilliams59 Год назад

Love it when yall talk about non-bourbon! Keep up the good work!

@djmoobeat 9 месяцев назад

Knob 9 is tricky. We own a bottle and don’t like it much. But due to lack of available pours out at some bars, knob creek 9 is usually available and we have had some pours out in bars that are actually good. (Very vanilla)

@royboy2124 Год назад

Great video. I know you guys are digging peated Scotch lately and I actually like the 8yr Lagavulin for about half the price. Another recommendation if you can kind it is anything from Kilchoman, a newer Islay distillery that does some fantastic stuff. My favorite of their regular expressions is the Sanaig but the Machir Bay is their base expression and is also spectacular. Cheers!

@larrymoffitt2386 Год назад

Excellent idea for a series because as a "realworld whiskey consumer" I love to grab something new just to check it out, or because I heard some good buzz. Thanks for your take right out of the neck. Especially with bottles you can locate. Nothing says realworld like something you can actually find. With the peated scotches, I get notes of Sherlock Holmes -- something Erin might say 🤣. Please keep doing these. No regerts.

@quinceypowell9895 Год назад

I like the concept, great content as usual.

@steveno7058 Год назад

If you love Classic Laddie you have to pick up Port Charlotte 10. Its basically the peated and older version. For unpeated the Bruchladdie Islay Barley vintages are excellent. Both should be only $10-$15 more than the 7-8 year old Classic Laddie

@terrencemcdermott5840 Год назад

Man that Lagavulin 16 is one of my faves, I see it for upwards of 120 but can also find it for like 70-75! It is such a weird price swing here in WI. I bought mine for 75 and would buy at that piece all day.

@customer9845 Год назад

I love Laga 16 but rarely buy it do to the increase in price. I remember when it was $40. I passed up the Bunnah cask strength when I saw it because had too many bottles in the collection at the time. I kind of regret not picking it up when I had a chance.

@HTXNATIVE Год назад

Just found y’all’s channel today and I’m a fan! Subscribed ✅ Keep up the great work!

@stuffandwhiskey Год назад

Thanks so much for hopping on board! Cheers!

@jasonc_0928 Год назад

Awesome as always! Also so amazing to see the continued channel growth! I still like the KC9 as a solid value for the money, but this is what's so fun about this hobby, everyone's palates and preferences are different. Keep up the great work Josh and Erin!

@stuffandwhiskey Год назад

Well said, Jason! Our palate similarities and differences are a big part of what makes the hobby so fun. Cheers!

@stefanschwalenberg8320 Год назад

I recently polished off a bottle of Knob Creek 9 and, while it wasn't my favorite pour in recent memory, I'd definitely grab another one at some point... after I taste my way through a few more of the medium proof offerings which are on my "need to try" list. Keep this series going!

@KyaniteXFR Год назад

The single barrels at 120 proof are definitely worth the price.

@stefanschwalenberg8320 Год назад

@@KyaniteXFR Recently, the barkeep at one of my watering holes poured me a sample of Knob Creek BP and I was very surprised how much I enjoyed it. Usually anything over 110 is too rough for me, but not that bottle.

@Sgt.Trigger209 Год назад

The 22' Bunna 12 CS blew me away. Low to mid 80s in my area when I bought my bottles back in early 2023. Now prices have gone up as expected 😂. FYI: it needs a generous amount water to open up. Around half to a full traspoon for each ounce.

@writterttc Год назад

It’s absolutely phenomenal. Huge value for a 12 yr age stated, non chill filtered, natural color, cask strength, absolute BANGER! LOVE it!!

@tedsalmon2533 Год назад

I think this type video is a great idea! Keep up the good work

@RobertMichaelStewart Год назад

I go for the 120 proof version of the NC.... Good stuff!

@josephlebo7320 8 месяцев назад

Not sure if you've had it yet, but try to get some Foursquare Probitas. A fantastic white rum that's good for sipping and great in cocktails. Also, two fantastic American 'scotch' whiskey's are St. George Baller (it's a California take on Japanese whiskey) and Virginia Distillery Company VHW Port Cask Finished.

@aboutjourneysailing Год назад

Love the variation in content without the full tasting review. Its nice to get some initial impressions in a more timely format as per waiting for the random to pop up. I was able to get a Touchstone a few weeks ago as well as the Bardstown Foursquare collaborative...both are very tasty. Cheers!

@jmroz311 Год назад

Thanks for all the content you put out!

@stuffandwhiskey Год назад

Thanks so much! Cheers and thank you for watching!

@josiahhunt9507 Год назад

I appreciate this form of content. Helps save some money and hunting time!

@chrisdunning5481 Год назад

Appreciate the subject matter on this one. Much prefer reactions to bottles rather than just a recount of recent purchases. Picked up a Knob Creek 9 year 120 proof from Total Wine recently and was very disappointed. Just a regular release. Not a pick. Not good at all. Did not know much about the Bruichladdich as I prefer Speysides. But when you said it was unpeated I pulled up my total wine app and threw one in my cart. Also may have to try the rums. I found one I like in the $150 price point. Foursquare Touchstone 14 year aged in bourbon barrels. About 120 proof. Also excellent.

@Joe-ub5rs Год назад

You are both so polite, everyone likes what they like, no apologies necessary. Great video, I always like to know what people are going to buy again and keep on their shelves because that to me says everything. You touched on another interesting topic with the JD; what makes a good gift bottle. I give Blanton's and Eagle Rare as gifts a lot, but I like the idea of the JD single Barrel as a much easier bottle to get as a gift. Cheers, thanks for the video!

@callmebender Год назад

Keep'em Coming!! Cheers. Love Jack Daniels Single barrels, the Classic Laddie is high value and Arran 10 is delicious. Sprinkle some Foursquare and you've got a really nice spread!!

@markwood2452 Год назад

Lagavulin 16yr is one that you kinda always have to have around. It’s never not good and it’s a great one for guests who may not love super strong peated scotches. I recently picked up the Lagavulin 16yr Distillers Edition. It’s very good but I might prefer the regular release. I wanted more of the sherry influence but it was very subtle.

@89sooner Год назад

The two hitters that just don’t do it for me (though I can tell enough to know that they are great) are JDSBBP (one 750 and two perfectly sized 375s) and 1920 (one old label, one new…I can tell you that a third revisit will happen in a year or two). The amazing thing about Knob Creek is I am with you on the KC9, but so love KC12 and the store picks.

@tommysimpsonandtheloadeddice 6 месяцев назад

Now you're talking my language. Bunna 12 is $50 in my area. Best value in whiskey IMO. I buy it by the case.

@kwhite312002 Год назад

I agree with you on the Knob Creek 9 Year 100 proof, but I really enjoy the Single Barrel Select 120 proof! I’d think they would be the same profile but seem to be quite different to me.

@stuffandwhiskey Год назад

Agreed. We’d much rather pay a bit more and get the 120 proof where the bourbon really shines!

@tsubakichan Год назад

I just bought my first KC9 100, and will open it soon. Sad to hear it may not live up to the SiB (Store Pick), which is my favorite bourbon. I generally prefer whiskey in the 100-110 proof range, so I thought I might even like KC9 more than SiB. I guess I'll find out when I have it. I also have an unopened KC12 which people seem to like.

@kwhite312002 Год назад

@@tsubakichan hopefully it hits your pallet better than mine!

@WhiskyForBeginners Год назад

Knob Creek 9 is good stuff.

@GOTAisMe Год назад

I've been picking up Lagavulin 16 at BJs for $67. Last year it was as Costco for $69. Those price clubs tend to get the big brand Diageo Scotch whiskies on a regular basis. It's more than Kirkland brands and JW Black.

@steveno7058 Год назад

Get it while you can. They are raising the price across the board

@aaronvlasak92 Год назад

Your channel keeps getting better. Always enjoy commentary about more than just bourbon. Bourbon is great but the world has many other great spirits to offer. Keep it up!

@jameskruszka4768 Год назад

Terrific series! Ienjoy Knob Creek 9, but never buy it. However, I always keep a KC store pick & the KC 12 in my cabinet. I love every one of the scotches in you're line up. Every one of them have earned a spot in my collection. I am rethinking the Lagavulan becase of the price. I highly recommend that you try Deanston Virgin Oak. It is a terrific whiskey &, at about $40 in my area, a tremendous value!

@tfrogginhfroggin Год назад

I liked this video. I agree. The knob creek 9 year 100 proof is disappointing; however, I love the knob creek single barrel 120 proof. They are wildly different for me and can’t figure out why.

@stuffandwhiskey Год назад

The proof definitely helps Knob Creek a ton. We love the single barrels. The lower proof point really highlights the peanut shell nuttiness for us but the higher proof really amps up the caramel and vanilla flavors that we appreciate so much.

@showenough Год назад

Another great vid friends!!! Miss you all and hope to see you soon!

@stuffandwhiskey Год назад

Ditto that! Let us know the next time you’re in town!

@tsubakichan Год назад

I love Lagavulin 16 - a lot more than Ardbeg 10 and Laphroiag. I'm not sure if I'd pay $90-115 for it, but until I taste a better scotch - maybe I would. (It can be found for $70'ish in my market at times - I deffo think it's worth that)

@terrencemcdermott5840 Год назад

I’ve never been a huge rum fan but feel like I have to revisit it. I might have to splurge for a Foursquare though!

@stuffandwhiskey Год назад

The low proof super sweet and sugary rums are one thing, but these Foursquares are a whole other animal altogether. It's wild how different they are.

@jaime_hi-meh_not_jay-mee7095 Год назад

The Laddie has a code on the bottle that you can enter in their website to find out the cask composition and age of the spirit in each cask. Also, there's a Laddie that has an age statement - the Laddie Eight. Haven't tried it though.

@stuffandwhiskey Год назад

That’s a big pro tip! We’ll look ours up. Thank you!

@Robert.Sheard Год назад

I've also found the Lagavulin 8 to be very nice, as well, and cheaper. If you "lurve" the Arran 10, get the Quarter Cask. Higher ABV, massive flavors.

@stuffandwhiskey Год назад

Will be on the lookout for both locally!

@TheReal_DeanD Год назад

I hope you like the Arran 10 year. A little over a year ago they were great at $41. Now they're up to $56 for no apparent reason so I'm done with the brand. I'm not paying $15 more for a 700ml bottle of Arran 10. a bottle I really regret buying is ECBP B523. Woody with some grass notes on the finish. From the neck pour I'm really angry that I bought it.

@whiskeyisajourney Год назад

I like the concept. It gets more opinions out there on new bottles. If you guys have tasted them, but have not done a full blind reviews on them I still want to hear what you think. The more opinions that are out there on a particular bottle that people are thinking of buying, I feel it will help people make better buying decisions. Especially if their palates line up with yours.

@stuffandwhiskey Год назад

Cheers to that! Will be fun to get an initial take and then see us wildly disagree with ourselves on a future head-to-head too. 😂

@TexasBoy-qv2pq Год назад

Love the new content

@Abby_Normal_1969 Год назад

I love KC9, especially the Costco price of >$22. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and taste is far more subjective than sight. I am with you on Classis Laddie and on Lagavulin 16.

@A-A-Ronious Год назад

Agree with Lagavulin. I have an unopened bottle that I got as a gift. I'd rather reach for Kilchoman, Ledaig, or Ardbeg.

@soyner Год назад

Can you do an episode about Whiskey labels? Things like, what are some of the details you may see and what they mean. And even getting deeper into specific things like is Blantons now using a font on their labels instead of handwriting. I always love the little changes and details you find on many of the labels out there. Thank you! Love the channel.

@stuffandwhiskey Год назад

We do need to revisit that topic. We did a video in the past, but there's so much marketing in whiskey that it's hard to trust much of anything on the labels. That said, it's still an interesting topic to cover. Stay tuned!

@soyner Год назад

@@stuffandwhiskey Exciting! Thank you so much for the response. I've been in art direction and advertising for about 30 years and the design and info on the labeling always catches my eye. I even know some of it is pure gimmick but ... still gets me. (PS: Always been impressed with your production/art direction. Keep up the good work!)

@WhiskeyBank Год назад

Thanks for the great video! It seems many of your videos are going toward single malts instead of bourbons. Even the purchased bottles on this video was mostly non-bourbon. I was wondering if that is going to be a trend for you guys? Also, what is your appeal to single malts? I have tried to get into it but just haven't found my palate yet on single malts. Thanks again for the videos!

@stuffandwhiskey Год назад

This is a great question! While we do find a lot of interest in single malts as a fun aside to bourbon and rye, we do tend to reach for bourbons and ryes more. We just have so many of those and so few single malts, and it's easier to find and buy good single malts while demand is sky high for bourbon and rye, so our purchases are a bit of a reflection of the state of the whiskey industry right now. We're not jumping ship from bourbon and rye anytime soon though. That's still home base.

@WhiskeyBank Год назад

@@stuffandwhiskey that makes a ton of sense! I'm glad the home base is still bourbon! Can't wait till yout next video!

I love the JD Single Barrel Barrel Proof. But I've hesitated buying the Single Barrel 90 proofer at $50. Is it worth buying?

@stuffandwhiskey Год назад

Just like Blanton's, the value isn't there in our eyes, but for a gift bottle it's a good choice (or if you can find a store that's done a pick, and you trust the pick team's palates, then it can be a fun bottle to have around).

@timloucks4325 Год назад

Lagavulin 16 is sadly way overpriced in most markets. Thankfully I have a couple “offerman” backups to scratch that itch. Haven’t tried classic Laddie yet. I was underwhelmed with Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2012. I recently picked up a Port Charlotte & was pleasantly surprised, so I’m eager to eventually try other Bruichladdich expressions. BTW- I’m enjoying the videos. Terrific content. Cheers.

Starting out the gate - I had the opportunity to buy JD SB but I had to pass simply because I haven't had a JD product I like, but that's just me. I can't speak to the KC 9 year, but the 9 year SB is quite tasty. I have to ask - where do you store all of these bottles? A bunker? This type of video is good, a nice quick recap of what you have and what you think of it. Let's be real, all of your content is good so just keep it up.

@xiamengbaby Год назад

My goto Lagavulin is the 8 year old. 96 proof and nonchillfiltered and almost half the price of the 16 year old. Main difference is that the 8 yr old is all bourbon cask matured whereas the 16 year has sherry cask influence. But I love the 8 year. It's spirit driven and more ballsy. It's younger, but it doesn't have that too-young taste. If you haven't tried it, you should pick up a bottle.

@andrewmainprice2179 Год назад

Classic laddie a bit disappointing, it seems rather young and sharp.

@steveno7058 Год назад

It’s definitely young. About 7 years old. Adding a bit of water takes some of the sharp edges off

@stuffandwhiskey Год назад

Interesting. We don't get that at all, but it could be the batch we have. Having it right after Redbreast 27, you'd think it would come off young for sure, but it held its own. We need to do some sleuthing and figure out what batch we have.

@bullseye0112 Год назад

I can't stand the knob Creek product. There are very few whiskeys where it's just not my taste palette. The younger 8 year Lagavulin is a better buy with higher ABV
