Great review. Thanks for sharing your perspective on this bottle. Just like you, I started reaching out to the ECBP, but in the past year I gravitated to Larceny BP.
Thanks for the comment. I definitely still pickup the ECBP but that Larceny is coming on strong! Cheers!
I found one at a local bottle shop for the exact same price.
Nice. I do think guys are getting it cheaper, but not by much. Distilleries aren't always the cheapest place to buy the whiskey
Going to get one when I see one, slim pickings here in mid michigan, high proof too 👍😉Cheers 🥃
They are all over Tampa so hopefully they hit your market soon! CHEERS!
Very Tasty and only $50 here in mid michigan 😋 mmmm 👍😉Cheers 🥃
Agreed! Rare Breed is one of my favorites!
Never found one in michigan for ANY PRICE 🫣💯😕
I haven't been lucky enough to find at MSRP, but the last 2 I've bought were in decently priced bundles. Join a Whiskey Society on Facebook for your local area, that's how I found my last 2 bottles.
Are you in Tampa?
I am. Pinellas County
Great review!
Thanks!
Amazingly said
Thanks!
How can you tell which edition? I purchased a bottle from Total Wine two months ago for $599 but it doesn’t say the edition.
That seems like it's a price for a Barrel Select bottle. If yours is PX Sherry finished, that's the 4th Edition. I assumed mine was 3rd, because it's not sherry finished and the 4th edition hadn't come out yet. And it seems like the glass stopper is different for each edition.
@@michaelhiteYes it’s a barrel select bottle. Is that 3rd edition?
Check the front of the box it came in, on the bottom. That should say the Edition
@@michaelhiteMy box doesn’t say anything at the bottom other than Single Barrel along with the Alc Vol and Proof
I guess when I realized it was barrel select I should've realized it was Single Barrel. So I'm assuming the different editions are batched products, and the Single Barrels are separate and apart from the editions. That's just an assumption on my part 🤷♂️
What a monster pour! I’ve had a couple bottles of the bourbon variant, but haven’t yet seen the rye version in WA. Looking forward to being able to try this one. Enjoyed the combined review format!
Thanks for the comment. This is definitely a banger and worth a pickup if you see it on the shelf!
The only thing we can agree on is our love for metallica haha
haha lasting relationships have been built on lesser threads, cheers!!
great review
Thanks!
Manged to grab Lumberyard's batch 2022-02 but haven't opened it yet ... considering getting a back up first
I haven't had that one, but I'll be keeping my eye out and adding to my collection backwards, as I look for the the new releases coming out
È un buon whisky?
Some of them are. I like the Double Oak and Extra Aged.
I got my first Bookers, a 2024-01, a couple of months backs, and have really enjoyed it. Beam, generally, makes some of my favorite products. My favorite was the Jacob’s Well batch 2, but most of their products are similar enough in profile. Cheers! 🥃
Nice! I'll definitely open the Springfield Batch as soon as I get home. I'm glad t hear you enjoy it. I bought a KC Single Barrel because my coworkers want to drink all my Booker's and I want to save some for later. I haven't had the Jacob Wells
Amazing advise generally not an easy task to travel to NA from EU just to hunt bourbon, but it would be history tourism and couple distilleries. Got to be done lots of great bourbons are not available in EU
Glad it was helpful! Americans definitely travel to Ireland and Scotland to go whisky hunting and tourism, so it makes sense that people would go the other way as well. cheers!
@@michaelhite btw those two distilleries that are on my must experience once in a lifetime list are "Russell's" ran wild turkey DSP and Jim beam family distillery! Keep up the good work I love the Jim beam content :) - my heart goes Jim beam for life, but that juice from wild turkey rock my world too ( when i introduced my family to 101 they were gob smacked ! Outstanding and trust me they are dedicated 70+ year old polish vodka drinkers ! )
Nice, JB is great and I'm hoping to do Wild Turkey in September. More Jim Beam content to follow!!
gained a subscriber in me from this video alone congratulations on your fine cheers
Thanks for the sub! I'll try to get around to reviewing this before too long, cheers!!
Just got one from costco in southwest Florida for $117 with tax
Nice! That's the lowest I've heard of someone getting it so far, cheers!
Thank you so much for this Review! EAGER TO READ IT!!!
Honestly it's great. I forgot how much I like it, enjoy!
I just picked up a bottle it’s good but still not great for the price.
This does run hot for me and there are certainly better SBBP whiskeys for cheaper. I have seen about a $15-20 swing in prices for this, depending on retailer. Cheers!
As others have mentioned, the fact that 'Count of Monte Cristo' didn't make the list is a major flaw when it comes to these kinds of lists and personally I would also say the same for 'The Fountainhead' and 'Atlas Shrugged'.
Count of Monte Cristo is currently #108 on the list. An algorithm is used to analyze over 300 'Best Books' lists to generate this list, and it does change as the Shane adds lists and updates the algorithm. I haven't actually read it, so can't comment
@@michaelhite Highly! Highly! Highly! recommeded, mate! :) Btw, Where did Lord of the flies and Brave new world end up on the list?
Brave New World is now #39 on the list (it's been updated since my video) and Lord of the Flies is #53. The link to Shane's list is in the video description. It's not my list
Ayn Rand should be on the list.
I was gifted two of her books and will be turning those pages later this year, so I can't really comment on her works. The list was made by Shane, I just used it as my reading schedule last year and in this video was updating on the changes in the list for 2024. You can click the link in the description to see how Shane made the list!!
Great Expectations??
Great Expectation was #33 on the list at the time I made this video. I had to go back and check if I had missed it or something!! Not sure if your question is if it was on the list, or you were surprised where it is on the list?
@@michaelhite surprised
To be clear, I didn't make the list, Shawn did. The link to the list is in the description. Interesting process how he makes it, and it is a living list. So it does change when he updates it. I used the list as my reading schedule in 2023 and was just updating everyone of the changes in early 2024.
@@michaelhite Ulysses, I don’t get either
Yeah I had a real hard time with Ulysses.
Started with Beam Black Label and Maker's Mark in my early 20s. Still enjoy Maker's for low proof mixers!
Perfect intro into bourbons! Maker's Mark is great for mixing, and I think the JB black label probably got looked at again by guys recently since they age stated it to 7 years.
Jack Daniels is not bourbon. If you don't know that your video, and opinion, are not worth my time. Thumbs down...
I'm absolutely not offended if you never watch one of my videos again. As far as I can tell, JD meets all the requirements to be called a bourbon, they choose to call it Tennessee Whiskey.
Jack Daniels is 100% a bourbon. It just happens to also be a "Tennessee whiskey." If you don't know that, your opinion is now valid.
Thanks for the backup, Cheers!!
I just walked into total wine and paid $125
Nice! Good to be lucky, I think that's the actual MSRP. Just curious if you saw it on the website or app? They're hit and miss on putting allocated bottles on there.
@@michaelhite I walked in there this morning and there were a couple on the shelf. Just right place right time
@BigfootBourbonNerd nice!
I mostly agreed with your rankings. I got into whiskey drinking whiskey & cokes with Jack and Jim Beam White Label. I still enjoy Jack and Maker's mark with Coke. I think most of the lineup can be good intros to distilleries. I agree with your take on 4 Roses and Wild Turkey 81, they aren't good representations of their distillers'. Wild Turkey 101 is so much better. Jim Beam White Label is difficult to drink if you have ever tried any Knob Creek offerings. Nice Video, I think this can be interesting for newbies or people hyper focused on one distillery.
Thanks for the comment! Definitely these are great for mixing or an intro. Cheers!
I got out when I was 36 and my first bottle was a Wild Turkey 101. Interestingly, I don’t really prefer anything from WT these days, but it got me going at any rate. I still haven’t had a couple of these bottles, but it sounds like a fun idea to revisit some of these basics this summer. Fun video!
I can't believe it took me so long to break away. Wild Turkey 101 would be a great first bottle!! Into the deep end right away! You should always have the WT101 at your house for old times sake! Drinking multiple whiskeys, like in a flight, really highlights differences.
As a Jim Beam employee, I appreciate you putting Beam at #1. As a whiskey enthusiast, Jim Beam is definitely one to keep an eye on when it comes to big brands. Also, the Distillers Share #5 drops next week. Thanks for such awesome videos. Cheers
Thanks for the comment. I always stop at JB multiple times when I'm in KY, always a good time and I love the Kitchen! I found one bottle of Distiller's Share #1 on the shelf in Feb this year. I'll be back in Sept, hopefully there's DS #5 left. Cheers!
How much were the 12 year double single barrels?
I paid $189 last year for mine. Honestly didn't see if the price had increased
Agree with your #1 worst distillery tour. Was not fun!
Was totally looking forward to this one , and it let us down!
They hate us cause they anus.
Didn't realize it was so looked for. I picked up a Pact 10 for $150 at my local store last week
They go pretty quick in my local area. I'm sure they'd fly off the shelves at $150. I usually see them at $199, so nice pickup! Cheers!
Got one from a local grocery chain for msp of 129.99 plus tax..So yes it can be found for msp or slightly above. Find a good hookup and buy other bourbons from them as well. 👍
I've seen some guys in the Tampa area picking it up for $130, so nice job. I've realized distilleries aren't always the cheapest place to get bottles. Cheers!
Dont feed into the negativity bro. Here at total wine in norcal its $159.99.
Thanks, it's ok. One of the guys even subscribed after the short, so there's that!! I think $159 is probably the typical price, so not bad!
@@michaelhite theres way too much negativity on these whiskey channels. Its something that is supposed to be enjoyed and shared with others. 🤦🏾♂️
💯
I just got one for $149 state minimum is $129 I’ve seen usually for $200+
$149 is a good price. I'll be cracking mine open soon, cheers!
Just scored this at Whiskey Willy's WR Double Oak drop as my allocated choice this past Saturday morning. Cant wait to try it!
Hey great! I think it's a solid pour. I still haven't made it to Whiskey Willy's
@@michaelhite Willy’s is a little out of my way, but it’s a great store! Other chooses available at my place in line was Eagle rare, Blantons, and the JD Rye pick you mentioned. I guess I couldn’t go wrong with any of those. Great video as always, Captain!
I think you picked the best of that lot, maybe, the JD Rye is very good as well!
You proved me wrong. I just Subscribed!
Hey thanks for the add and giving me a chance! Cheers!
Great channel and a great man. Screw the haters.
Thanks for that, cheers!
My 2 cents (late to the party): 1- 12 year (sweet oak lover) 2- Single Barrel (the ones I’ve had 👍🏼) 3- Sweet Wheat 4- BiB 5- Full Proof (imo needs more age to tame alcohol) 6- Small Batch 😊
Nice, that 12 Year is a banger. I've picked up my first SiB since I made this list, but haven't popped the top so I can't comment on that yet. Thanks for your list, cheers!
I’m sorry the trolls got to you. Ridiculous! Cheers
One of the commenters was more incredulous than trolling and maybe I shouldn't have responded, but couldn't help myself. I just haven't had anyone challenge me like on a previous bottle haul video. Lesson learned and part of the deal!
@@michaelhite You don’t owe anyone anything, but I understand you feeling the need to push back. I don’t have a channel outside of education and can’t imagine having to deal with that. Thank you for the content.
I watched and enjoyed your KY haul video. I’m glad you popped this open. I’ve passed on Little Books before, but a nice bourye has me intrigued. If I see one of these at retail, I might finally get one. You really caught my attention with the possibility that it contains 20% Old Grand Dad. I wish they would disclose that. I’m headed to KY in July. Beam is on my list. Have you tried Lineage? I’m intrigued, but at $250, it better be superb. Anyway, thank you for the great review and good luck with your classes!
Thanks for the kind words. This Little Book is right up my alley! The 20% Old Grand Dad comment is just putting 2 and 2 together from what I heard Freddie say and available mashbills, not something I can say with certainty. Good luck at Jim Beam in July, hopefully they have some allocated available. I did buy a Lineage last year, yep $250, and yes it's very good. Cheers!
I really hope I stumble into this bottle in my area! Great review!
Thanks! I love a good rye and this did not disappoint!
Came from your Wuthering Hights (By another genius) review. For Whom was my introduction to Hemingway, although at that time my English was not good enough so was reading it in my native language. I couldn’t put the book down then mostly because of the plot. And I feel if I had started from let’s say The Sun Also Rises, I don’t know if I became a Hemingway fun. Decades later I reread many of his books in English and fell in love with his prose, vivid descriptions of nature and very peculiar style of dialogue writing. It is amazing writing style can be this different and I love both Emily Brontë and Hemingway. I also found out recently that Hemingway’s recommendations for a writer to read included Wuthering Heights!
I have never thought about Hemingway and Bronte, but as I think about it I feel there are similarities. For me, I prefer, the Sun Also Rises, but really appreciate For Whom The Bell Tolls also. Thanks for the comment and keep turning those pages!
@@michaelhite Thanks for your reply! I love the Sun Also Rises, too, after rereading, in fact, everything I read of his works has its own place in my heart. Hemingway has this incredible power to make me empathize with the characters he creates, and Brontë has in a way similar power for me. I couldn’t hate Heathcliff even when he turned out to be a horrible grown up. Just like Hareton couldn’t really hate him, I kept rooting for him believing he could be better deep down in his heart. Thanks again for giving me this opportunity to think about the books!
No worries, Captain! Enjoy training and we'll be here waiting on your great content. Love seeing your reviews and takes on the different bottles!
Thanks! I do have some whiskey at the hotel (of course) so there should be a video coming soon!
Excellent breakdown of these whiskeys
Hey thanks for that, cheers!
Really interesting bottle and great review! I didn’t realize their mash bill on these has so much malted rye. Will have to grab one if I see it. Picked up the Rocket Top on your recommendation and have really enjoyed it!
I think the HW will be available nationally before too long. I'm glad you liked the Rocket Top, Redwood Empire puts out solid products. Cheers!
Your descriptions are fantastic. I have a great understanding of whats in that battle. Great job on these videos!
Thanks for that. The Foggy Burl isn't the best of the Small Lot Series, but it's pretty good. Cheers!
Thanks for this video! I'm going to try to get there in a couple weeks for a tour also. Can't wait to visit the distillery.
This bottle was a gift to me but I would like to get to the distillery sometime. I've usually had good experiences at distilleries
Great video and great channel!!! Can't wait to watch more! I am from the Tampa area as well.
Hey thanks! Tampa is tough for whiskey hunting I think. Cheers!
