Would We Buy These Whiskeys Again? 

1783 is a great bottle for the money 💴

Just killed a Russell’s Single Barrel and I already have 2 backups. Also *finally* finished an old Four Roses small batch and I’m replacing it with a Four Roses 135th Anniversary Limited Edition that I got in Sweden of all places (also got 3 bottles of Blanton’s Gold Edition at MSRP 😎)

I hate seeing those dead soldiers! LOL! Just recently finished off a Sagamore Spirits Cask Strength and a Double Oak rye. I had been savoring them for a long time, as they are two of my all time favorite rye whiskeys. They finally got down to about an inch in each bottle, so had to do them in to make more room on the shelf for something else. The empty bottles are actually sitting on my bar waiting on the recycle bin. Sad. 🙂

First time listener, long time caller here…

I’m a huge double oaked fan, and I never thought I would say this, but Woodford Reserve DO can be a bit cloying at times. I’m finding that I really have to be in the mood for that particular flavor profile. I have instead been reaching for Peerless DO bourbon, which hits my palette perfectly.

We really wanted to like Old Elk after trying some different expressions but just couldn’t get on board with it. Cheers

These are always great. Tough to say good bye to so many great releases. Thanks for sharing, cheers!

I’ve had a lot of Old Elk. I’ve only liked the double wheat. Nothing else was close to worth the price.

Just recently got the EW 1783 'Hero's' edition totally hits for me even at just 90 proof. Went back to store and the handle was on sale for $35. It's going to take the place of EC small batch because their prices keep going up.

To start, I like your shorter hair Julie, did you also get some highlights? The color was off a little in this video. A lot of the empties I haven't heard of. But I live in Ohio. Nice video.

I gravitate toward barrel picks (such as yours) these days, but a shelfer I recently killed and replaced was Jack Daniel’s SBBP Bourbon. For $64.99 I’m not sure anything else even comes close.

Agree 100% on your Old Elk takes, also not for me. On the other end, recently finished off a bottle of Bardstown's KBS Collaboration with Founder's Brewing, and I'd definitely buy that again, even though it's pricey (it's been two years since it came out, so I don't think I'll see it again), as well as Benchmark Single Barrel, which is delightfully not pricey at $25 and has become a regular in my collection.

I like Julie’s haircut!

Glen Scotia is terrific. I love the Victoriana, but it's hard to find and a little more expensive than the one you had. Have you tried the OF 1924 yet? I haven't seen it yet. Hard to argue with 1910 and 1920, though. Old Elk Cigar Cut was good, but that price? Same with their Infinity Blend. I have the newer bottle of A.P. Conoley, and it's too "farmy" for me.

I’m generally not a big rye fan, but that John A. B. Conoley sample you sent was fantastic! 🥃

I would definitely rebuy most of the Driftless Glen single barrel cask strength Bourbons and ryes I've had.

Have enjoyed your journey and whiskey picks. One day it dawned on me what happens to Mavis in those extreme heats? Yes we have 2 kitties and now most Americans are suffering heat waves, I'm sure Mavis was safe. Love a cat that enjoys traveling.

So Sad to see that one Go!!

I'm with you on Old Elk - great LOOKING bottles, and just... fine on the taste. I feel like I just don't get my money's worth. Other than the Cigar Blends, I won't replace the two open bottles I have (one wheated, one reg. bourbon store pick) when they are gone. More room for the Still Austin BiB releases--my 2nd favorite distillery! Redwood Empire is my favorite, and I LOVED the Foggy Burl (so much chocolate!), so YMMV.

Glen Scotia 15 is an easy buy for sure!! Better than the 18 is so a real value. #TeamMavis #AdventureKat

How about the recipe for that Black Walnut Maple Old Fashioned? My wife loves the Midnight Manhattan...

Bakers 7 is a buy again for me. I also recently bought another Makers 46 f.o.c.s. and OF 1910. Eagle Rare I keep back ups of as well as Woodford d.o. and JDbps and when I finish the rye BP It will be a rebuy. Finally, I just bought another JD bonded. Great video,cheers

I will be replacing my Makers 101. Love it!

Love the shirt Yeah you know me i got OGD yeah you know me ect.

Cute haircut! ……. Julie too

Love you two, and the content. Where can I buy the shirt Julie is wearing? It's the cat looking through the blinds.

WHISKEY CHEERS 😎
