    The JB Black 7 year is a winner. Just bought my 3rd or 4th 750 bottle. Don't sleep on Peerless. We brought back 4 bottles from our trip to Louisville. Their bourbon finished in a rum barrel is amazing. Should have bought another one home.

      I agree on the JB 7y 100% the peerless was not my profile that I personally like in bourbon and the price was high in my area. 🥃 CHEERS !

    Hey man, you have concerns about click ability and viewers watching the whole video, all I can say for myself is I enjoy your wholesome journeys to find a good bottle and your enthusiasm for it all. Some of the things your pointing out can be editing etc. maybe don’t be afraid to try new things in your videos or do blinds etc. But I enjoy the fact you simply go hunting and talk about the hunt.. some channels can be over the top and honestly, a little obnoxious. I’m excited for all your future content man! 🎉

      The current ones, which aren't nearly as special as the older ones (which were sourced with much older rye blends). You can make a pretty decent "Poor Man's Winter Nights Dram" with port (I use a 10 year Tawny) ~10:1 ratio of Renezvous to port. Not bad, and saves you $200.

    Cool video, I don't have this particular channel up and running but if you go watch any videos from Mr Beast's editor about youtube and it's algorithm or getting views or how to go viral etc, the best piece of advice that he has, and it's a pretty brutal one once you know it's true impact. Do Not Repeat yourself.
    As soon as you say the same thing more than once, boom, people are off to the next video. So editing is very important to ensure that only the most necessary content is included in your videos and people will stay engaged minute to minute because you are not going back over and rehashing, repeating the same content. Be brutal with your editing. It really works to keep viewership and shorten your videos. Take care man, keep making great content.

    one thing I would recommend is either focus on distillery or a type. instead of highlighting what you don't have, focus on other things that would help the new bourbon person. There are so many bottles there is no way to have them all. Barrel is great, highly recommend!! Be cautious with finished products like Thomas S Moore. Overall lot of overpriced whiskey out there.

    Yeah those 1792 prices are wacky! Get the Benchmark right next to it or I saw Evan Williams Single Barrel early on in the video. The Jim Beam Black 7 Year is pretty good. I find it hilarious they literally put caramel, oak and vanilla on the neck label. How many bourbons are out there right now that can't get those basics right? Caramel, vanilla and oak. The most basic flavor profile of how a bourbon should taste! Yet it is somehow a selling point apparently? Almost like there are too many junk bourbons out there and one of the legacy distilleries had to remind people what basic bourbon should taste like? This market has turned so weird!
    CZcams Shorts would be a good place to start. Lots of people have zero attention span. Lots of people working long hours and they can't spare 20 or 30 minutes to sit down and watch a video.
