With the new release from the Nelson Bro's changing up everything and saying goodbye to Belle Meade Dan and I had to try these. We loved the old releases so one would only hope we would love these too.

My first bottle that started my collection was that Belle Meade cask strength! So good!

@omegagunsmithing 2 года назад

When I was at Bardstown last fall they were producing for Nelson brothers. Even had the bell mede in the gift shop.

Lovely! Thanks, you goobers. The hunt is on.

@nathanshort7 2 года назад

According to the bartender at the distillery when I visited, BM was a blend of MGP and their own nelson greenbrier distillate, so I would assume the new label is too

@billysanders1313 2 года назад

@@eugenenassif527 the new nelson bros. is around 30% rye and is a blend of mgp and bardstown

@applecrow8 2 года назад

Sounds like I should bunker a couple Belle Meade Cask Strengths as much as I should look out for Nelson Bros.

@MrHunterbuchanan 2 года назад

Usually the TTB designation "Blend of straights" is used when you're sourcing from multiple states for a single release. Hence, you won't see a state of distillation, because it's not required. Thinks Bardstown Discovery 3, 5, and 6 (though they're cool enough to give you detailed info about each blend, even though they don't have to). *Edit:* Also, since it's a Blend of Straights, and there's no age statement, it should all be 4+ years.

Just picked up the reserve from Costco $49.99, 107.8 proof. Pretty decent, I’d put it just above an everyday drinker, something you might enjoy on the occasion. At that price I’ll keep a bottle on the shelf. Wonderful flavors

@davidminner9298 5 месяцев назад

Took the tour at Nelson Brothers a couple days ago. Confirmed that the current Classic & Reserve products are made from Bardstown distillate…They do distilled their own juice In Nashville for the sour mash whiskey…

@teddyballgame25 2 года назад

Was that just me or was it really hard to tell which bottle they were taking about at any given time?? They just kept saying “that one” or “this one”.

@brianegan8260 2 года назад

Not just you.

@danfadden4788 2 года назад

I thought the same thing.

@BourbonJunkies 2 года назад

Sorry sometimes I think I'm pointing and I'm doing a bad job. We'll do better next time. TL;DR Belle Meade black label is awesome. Nelson bros cask strength is weird.

@marcgregory9277 2 года назад

I had both at thier tasting room a few weeks ago and brought home the reserve only because I wanted a new bottle to drink on the ice. Which in my opinion makes it's taste just like the classic

@davevogelsang6791 Год назад

Watching older episodes I missed. I love the Belle Meade Reserve and can still get bottles around me for $65. I only have 3 bottles, may need to get a few more before they disappear.

@mikecofojohn168 2 года назад

Belle Meade Cask Strength Reserve has always been a banger! Hope this new endeavor our can hold its own. Large shoes to fill. The Belle Meade Sherry cask release is some of the best TN whisky iv'e ever had.

@CyclePoochLvr 2 года назад

The Belle Meade Sherry Cask is a delicious sipper as well.

@terrencemcdermott5840 2 года назад

That must be an old Belle Meade reserve, I think they are all 108.7 proof or something like that.

@kevinmathis1278 Год назад

All I have to say is stock up on Belle Meade Reserve 108.3 while you can still find it. It's going the way of the plastic cap Brown-Forman ET BIB.

@allenoliver5119 2 года назад

That Belle Meade Reserve bottle you have with the hand-written proof hasn't been around for 2-3 years now. They were insanely good and way better than the current Belle Meade Reserve that is 108.3 proof (printed, not hand-written) and is a more accurate comparison to the Nelson Bros. Reserve. Loved to see this review though and it looks like I'll need to try the Nelson Bros. Classic now since liked the Reserve but didn't get a chance to try the Classic yet.

@The_Profezor 2 года назад

Brilliant observation. Just realized that my first bottle was their version (amazing) and my 2x reorder was the 108.3 version. Opened it right now and it was not very good. Tasted young and hot. Hoping it is a neck pour problem.

@allenoliver5119 2 года назад

It's one of those things that I feel like I'd like it a lot more if I hadn't have the old one, LOL. I can say that the bottle I had was when I came back to it a few weeks later so hopefully that's the case for yours as well :).

@thetworivers7808 Год назад

just picked up a nelson bros classic on discount for $15 and was unsure about the buy but now looking forward to cracking the bottle now

@donmaduro5262 Год назад

Nelson Brothers @ $35 in FL was a great grab

@Kenundrum1769 Год назад

I was looking for a decent bourbon last night, and had to do a little googling because I’m fairly new to Bourbons. My quick half- assed research pointed to Nelson Brothers, classic, after looking up the few brands that the liquor store had. (Not a large selection) I paid under 39 bucks, and there was a man who seemed to be on the same mission as me, overheard my conversation and said “I saw you googling, I’m going to try it as well” 🤣 I haven’t tasted it yet, but after watching this video I’m a bit more excited.

@pizzawarlord9232 Год назад

Wow, kicking myself now. Passed on Nelson white label for $37 today. The green reserve was $60. I had watched this before but forgot which you guys liked. Will get it next time - thanks guys

@Love_0ne_Another 2 года назад

Nelson has shipped to Michigan, saw it three weeks ago.

@Blinc32 2 года назад

In PA, the Nelson Bros Classic is $50 and the Reserve/Barrel Stength is $70. I wish they were a little less, glad you're reviewing them!

@Kenundrum1769 Год назад

I live in PA and just picked it up for 38 and change. Haven’t tried it yet

@TheBourbonVan 2 года назад

There have been more Belle Meades in my area so I am glad I didn’t pick any up. I will wait for the new stuff!

@Mavryck_Tha_Myghty Год назад

I’m the opposite. I’m trying to find the Belle Meade’s before they are completely phased out. Happy hunting, and cheers!

@jamesjlanger 2 года назад

when I visited Bardstown last year they were saying there that Belle Meade was going to be distilled there.

@archipelago93 2 года назад

Thankfully in Nashville Nelson Bros Classic is actually about $34/bottle in most places, so that makes it an A for me dawgs!

@66biggn 2 года назад

It’s not a rebranding, Belle Meade is not going anywhere, this is just an addition to the distillery.

@lukstephens1 2 года назад

Butane and spray paint too lol

@seansmith714 2 года назад

The Nelson Bros Reserve I tried was absolutely vile FWIW. Tasted like acetone and pencil erasers. That rubber note they talked about is real and a huge nope for me. The other one sounds promising though!

@billysanders1313 2 года назад

blend of bardstown and mgp still no tn distillate involved

Nelson Bros vs George Remus next. Similar proof. Both possibly MGP. Remus about $15 cheaper and non chill filtered. I love the remus. It slaps for the price

Belle Meade Reserve?

@tscherer7542 2 года назад

BM single barrel CS = mgp 10 or 11yr BM CS = mgp+dickel BM Reserve= mgp blend of various ages (younger stuff in there) Ive had some amazing BM Single Barrel CS, and ive had some amazing Dickel single barrel CS “15yr”, but the BM CS (mgp+dickel blend) was not stellar (stellum?), and the Reserve is good but the 6 yr notes poke through and arent close to what the original single barrels CS mgp was… i heard that the BM Reserve was running out for a while…idk what the Nelsons stuff is, but im guessing its even younger stocks/ blends. Thats the trajectory for well-aged whiskey (9yr+ imho) these days….the bourbon “gold rush” is over. For the present time. Thanks

@zachariahzedd8124 2 года назад

High Rye? Yup.
