Andre is a treasure of taste and culture for all. He is eloquent but not pompous. Educated but not a braggart. Sophisticated but not afraid to live (and maybe a little love) the Beam nostalgia. Cheers to you Andre!

@E4Sierra 5 дней назад

He could but why bother, considering the extraordinary success of his restaurants and other multimillion-dollar companies. I mean he's been far past doing something like this show (which holds its spot as top-ranking wine show on YT nonetheless) But even long before his numerous businesses took off, Andre was head sommelier at _Per Se_ Freakin Per Se, as in Thomas Keller, Columbus Circle- *head sommelier* . And that's going back a couple decades or so. (in case you're not familiar we're talking 3 Michelin stars, $6-$700 per head or tasting menu for two easily at $1,000 .. where he'd be routinely opening $15,000-$20,000 wine bottles) If I were starting out simply holding a busser position at an establishment of that caliber, a RU-vid channel's always possible but it's hardly gonna be a priority.

When he calls a spirit "fruity", it doesn't mean it contains fruit. Just that the aroma reminds him of fruit. An unpeated wine may feel "peaty" but won't be "peated". What a genius comment.

this is a fantastic video about bourbon. worth noting (as you already said) that weller special reserve (green label) is NOT worth 90$. it's a 23-30$ bottle for a 750ml and it is fantastic for the price. it is incredibly hard to find a bourbon that will match it for the same price point. others are wild turkey 101, evan williams bottled in bond. just wanting to throw that out there for people who are watching this and new to bourbon.

@drewmcclellan480 27 дней назад

Yeah, $90 for Weller is crazy. It's a great bourbon, but around these parts (KS) I find it for about $30... Your comments about WT101 and EW BIB are spot on. WT101 is my go-to for both sipping and for cocktails.

Saying the hard to find bottles get less expensive the closer you get to Kentucky, is in fact the exact opposite. More KY people are aware of what bottles are hard to find and they disappear faster than they can be stocked.

I know he was more talking about what "cask strength" was on the Maker's but I wish he would have also noted that Maker's is a wheated bourbon as opposed to the previous ones that were rye as the 2ndary grain bourbons. Also, that Weller Special Reserve is not $90, nor should anyone ever be paying that much for that bottle. It's very plain wheated bourbon and the MSRP is about $25.
