Congrats on the channel growth! You guys are crushing it!
Also fantastic to see my Hometown whiskey get a shout out from Chattanooga.
Glad I found this channel. You guys rock, keep it up. I subbed and turned on all notifications, I’m new bourbon drinker and this Channel has helped a lot and you guys are a great duo. I’ve tried Buffalo trace and Evan Williams BiB so far, both great! Going to try eagle rare next.
Dope show!! Thanks for all the alts. Cheers!
Good to see the channel is getting close to 20K Subscribers! Love ya'lls content, keep it up!
Now that CZcams fixed it and we're not losing 100 subs a day
Was able to get it at Costco on close out for less than $50. Only had 5. Went back a few days later to get another and all were gone. Glad I was able to get one. Cheers.
Almost 20K! Great job guys
I’ve got a single barrel pick of the Davidson that’s really good!
2:10 "Crap Distilleries" - - (Nailed it Sean)
Hilarious but perfect description 😂 for the category 😂🤣
There are very few younger craft spirits we enjoy.
JDSBBP is an amaaaazing bottle, but I think I'd have to give the slight upper hand to Rebel Yell 10 year single barrel in that category mostly because it's $55 around me and JDSBBP is $70☹️great video though, loved all your picks!
I really enjoyed the Woodinville. I need to try the higher proof version
I love the Woodinville straight bourbon and am so happy to have snagged 3 bottles for 25% off end of bin special
I have 3 bottles. It is fantastic.
I clicked this video just to type who cares what San Francisco thinks about bourbon. Love your videos though
Great another Stagg Jr recomendation. When you can find it the cost is way over msrp.
Luckily found a BB batch 21 at MSRP. Looking forward to trying it. Finding a Stagg Jr is more difficult in my area than getting different BB batches.
Chatt Whiskey is incredible!! A true up-and-comer ... I can wait to try the Rye, picking that up next week.
The rye is fantastic!
How did you guys get Four Gate or anything from Seelbach’s? I’ve ordered three bottles from them and only received one. Hopefully I can find Four Gate from another source. Chattanooga too.
That Forest Green Pikesville Rye shirt is sick.
I follow you guys, and I live not far from Woodinville.
I think for the first category the New Riff products are only 4 years old, some 5 years old, and they have good distribution on all the products. I would personally go with the BiB or the single barrel BP over the Woodenville
Kentucky Owl Rye for 3rd???? Excited to my hands on Four Gate Rye!
Great alternatives and I’ve been holding off on Parker’s rye for 199 but maybe I should consider when I get some extra dough
Honestly one of the best ryes we've ever had. We'd buy again at 200.
ECBP is 12 years old, so I’d have used it instead of the 1792 I think. And the finished would have to go to literally ANY High West finished Double Rye or give it to Yippee Ki Yay as its swan song.
I still haven’t opened that Parker’s Heritage. I remember it tasting so good last year when I had a pour.
One of our favorite ryes to date
I feel like I hear everyone talking about the JDBP and how underrated it is, but mine was so disgusting. Like drinking melted yellow laffy taffy mixed with rubbing alcohol. I was so disappointed, I love cask strength whiskeys and so desperately wanted to love it.
I like your shirt pikeville rye the best!!
Pipe Dream is the biggest surprise for me this year. It is DELICIOUS any way you want it.... neat, rocks, old fashioned . Thanks for the recommendation a few months back. cant get enough of it. Lost Monarch is also great.
Dustin Boudreaux not a fan of pipe dream
Welcome to the dojo boyz
Nice shout out to Chattanooga! As someone who doesn’t know whiskey, but curious, I wondered how it stacks up.
We like their 111 proof a lot
Dan's like "It's cool because you can try all three Ryes from four gate and compare them" and I'm like I don't have 525$ haha ;)
Well I mean it'll still be neat!
@@BourbonJunkies haha, I know I'm just messing around. ;) Yeah it would be a super cool experiment! You don't get those opportunities often to try the same product but then two finishes! :)
Yea I get it though, they aren't asking for a small amount to try their neat thing out.
@@BourbonJunkies yeah maybe they could do a 375ml 3-pack it would be super cool to try!
@@whiskycentral Or a 200 ml each 3 pack like some scotch malts. The Classic Malt Collections as an example.
Am I the only one that watches your video on my phone with the Binnys Beverage Depot app running behind it so check prices and see if I can get everything?
Great channel, I stumbled and have been watching one episode after another. I live in Michigan. Any stores you guys recommend?
Where about are you located?
Bourbon Junkies wow fast reply, thanks! Plymouth / Canton area but I’ve driven pretty far for a good store.
Novi party store, red wagon, and a&b liquor are all good stores down there.
Bourbon Junkies thanks! I’ll keep watching. Great content!
The Pikesville Rye shirt! 🙌🏾 Where'd you get it? I need one. Love Pikesville Rye
Lol it was a gift from a store. Dan gets so many comments on that dang shirt
What part of Michigan you guys in. Over on the west side is tough to get good stuff. I have to make a trip into Grand Rapids to get good stuff.
Tri-city area closer to Midland.
Love the channel guys, learning a lot. Just a quick question, does flipping the bottle and jostling the bourbon or whiskey effect it? I’m sure you’re not flipping it all day, but just curious. Thanks!
Not that I'm aware of
@@BourbonJunkies took Rare Breed to the party tonight and it was a big hit with the bourbon crowd. Thank you for the excellent recommendation!!
Woodinville is amazing, especially if you can find the Port-Finished. Best bourbon from a craft distillery I've tried (and I've tried probably 25 or 30). If you disagree, feel free to mail me a bottle of your favorite to try lol.
We've heard great things about the port finished, need to try and find some.
I swear Dickel is going to take a hit out on you two 😂
Dickel is owned by Diageo. Ralfy pretty much refuses to review Diageo products. IMO, Diageo is better at marketing than distilling.
Hence the while orphan barrel line up. They have amazing marketing
Btw. Its Seelbach's for the four gate for anyone looking. It's only $5 to ship too
Not seeing it listed on Seelbach’s
@@nicholashinkle7929 I saw it a few hours ago
Jack Hendrix I found it, thanks
“If it ships to Michigan it seems it would ship everywhere” ::cries in Pennsylvania::
I'm with you man, I hate this state
Time to cross some boarders. Little whiskey vay-cay
JD SB BP is amazing. Nothing has more flavor for under $70. I’m not saying it’s the best, that’s all subjective. But for sheer explosive, rich flavor, nothing offers more than this bottle. Completely under rated. If this was an allocated Saz product, it would get bought up in seconds and cost thousands on secondary.
Love the music...waiting for Paul Neuman to make a Cameo
Chateu de Laubade isn't wine finsih, it's Brandy (Armagnac)
No Old forester mention in a video? Just bought OF single barrel store pick for $35. Interested to see how it stacks up
Never had a bad one
The Forester store pick I had was phenomenal on par w eagle rare 10yr bery complex and smooth start to finish
I can't find a bottle of that Chateau De Laubade for less than $500. Nice obtainable recommendation there....
How did the Woodford Wheat do? You were talking it up as a contender for whiskey of the year.
Not sure if they post a lot more than just winners. For us I know it was top 10 somewhere.
I'm not a big malt fan, so I'm with Brandon on the Chattanooga. I gave mine to a scotch drinking friend.
Thank you! Glad I'm not alone. I got white dog and capri sun on the nose. Not a fan at all
@@brandon_sprague I thought it was more white wine that had turned, but your description is more fun.
Can you show a blooper reel with all of the dropped bottles?
We've only ever dropped a couple honestly
I guess I better start buying Baker's every time I see it before it's $100
Regardless of batch, Stagg Jr is nearly impossible in my state
Mezcal is amazing! Try Mezcal Vago
Have tried a couple, can't get past the farmyard taste of it
Chattanooga whiskey is definitely one of my favorites at the moment. I still need to try their rum finished
I was just about to make a comment about how well the video turned out, with no issues, then at 17:10 the wheels feel off. Honestly made it longer than I thought. 😂
Yea those lavs keep trying to eff us
Barrell batch 23 is better than 21 in my eyes so look for that one!
In reference to the Barrell Bourbon, but general question to other brands, what’s the difference between barrel proof and cask strength in definition? I’d assume they are the same thing, but BB has one label for each. So how are those different based on definition (in other words, I’m not asking which is better or what taste profiles are with BP or CS, I’m just asking about the terminology)?
Cask strength gets proofed at the end to the proof it entered the barrel before aging. Barrell proof means what ever it comes out of the barrel at is what it's bottled at. Hope this helps!
Bourbon Junkies awesome! Thanks for the reply!
Have u guys tried the BCS 15yr batch 1 ($250) or the Clyde Mays Cask Strength 11 yr ($125)? Both are excellent but are a bit expensive!
We have not
@@BourbonJunkies you need to!
For small batch 11+ yrs i say ECBP. For finished battle, how about including Haystack Port finish. It killed angel envy port cs for me.
See I think we lean towards AA CS more actually. We'll find out soon enough whenever we run out finished whiskey war
Bourbon Junkies excited to watch that battle. Keep up the hilarious content, it’s my source for lightening up the day.
Anyone know what song is playing in the background?
Jameson, Jameson porter finish, Jamieson IPA finish
:: ducks::
"Before you pull it out..." ?
Yo! Where can I buy that Pikesville T-Shirt?
Not sure it was a gift to Dan from a friend.
I love BBC stuff, but i haven’t had either of the ones mentioned here. Only finished one I had was Prisoner and I didn’t enjoy it
I want that Bardstown Laubade. Do they sell this in Michigan?
They do not, ours was purchased out of state.
@@BourbonJunkies thanks, my friend was just in Kentucky hunting bottles. I called around like 20 places where he was at but no luck.
Lads, any reviews on Traverse City bourbon?
Nothing yet, must be popular we've got a few comments for that now
@@BourbonJunkies Could you look into doing one? Asking for a friends.
That pup can not get enough licks of Dan’s face
That's cause Dan sweats sugar 😂
Y’all gonna do a 2021 video of this?
Maybe we should
@@BourbonJunkies you should. I’d love your opinion on High Bank distillery’s Whiskey War Barrel Proof. It won best American whiskey. Friend of mine making a move into the industry.
Keep up the great videos.
Not a fan of the wine barrel- finished bourbons/whisky. I generally find the flavors compete with each other, not compliment.
Have you guys ever had Hillrock?
Had a few of them, pretty fantastic
Where did you get that Pikesville shirt?!
Was a gift from a local store, he's not an XL guy but Dan is so he let him have it.
@@BourbonJunkies Damn, hoping it was more available. It's a dope shirt. Cheers.
Where can I buy bottles online?
Justin's house of bourbon or shared pour
Just watched this and now none of the alternatives are available! Says it all about bourbon in 2022.
Being in Pennsylvania I dont think I could find any of these bottles ever. I need to get out of this state
Sorry ☹️
Sorry for my ignorance, but what’s the deal in Pennsylvania?
Pretty sure it's a state regulated state, so rare stuff is pulled and then done in a lottery. A fair amount of states are that way, not sure if that's the way it's ran there.
@@vincec727 That is correct we have State Run liquor stores so not only do we not get rare bottles onto the shelf (they are raffled) but we also rarely get good bottles allocated to our stores. Ive never seen blantons, wellers, E.H. Taylor ect.
Bourbon Of The Week I’m not a huge alcohol guy. I never knew that was a thing. Weird.
Would the Knob Creek 12 year not be a better choice than the 1792?
I'd bet we would both blind the 1792 higher actually
@@BourbonJunkies I'll have to find the 1792. The Knob 12 year was realy really good.
Four Gate Rye over the Rare Breed Rye for ROY?
Imo yes -Dan
Oh man, have I got to disagree with you about the Woodinville. From top to bottom their entire product line is better than 90% of the craft whiskey that is being made out there. If you see it, try their port finished bourbon or their cask strength bourbon as well.
Their 100% rye I would put up against anything out of either Kentucky or Indiana..........
Other then that, good rundown of the whiskey awards. I just can't justify any of the Barrel Bourbons because of the inconsistencies in the batches. Too much money to invest in something that inconsistent.
BTW, loved the GSD at the end. A great whiskey is always second to a man's best friend.
A couple people have said we need to try that port finished one now, night have to try and find it.
@@BourbonJunkies get their cask strength stuff first if you can then the port finished bourbon. They also do Apple stave finished bourbon and rye which is a perfect fall weather sipper. They also just did a limited bottling of a triple barrel, Ardbeg finished American whiskey......it was amazing.
Wht state are you guys out of?
Michigan, they just started hitting our shelves a little bit. We've seen the regular 90 proofer around, not much else.
@@BourbonJunkies I know it is considered slumming going into Illinois but I believe the Chicago metro area is getting some port distribution and I think one of the chain stores also gets Woodinville barrel picks.
Hey guys, I can send you samples of the barrell batch 21 if you want to review it...
Email us at Bourbonjunk@gmail.com, we normally do samples on live streams but wouldn't turn a sample down.
@@BourbonJunkies will do once I'm home from work
mezcal is delicious you uncultured heathens : D
Disgusting
@@BourbonJunkies hahaha maybe you just havnt had the right one yet
That's also probably true
You need to try Wahaka Reposado, Gracias al Dios, or any Del Maguey, and for the love of Pete STAY AWAY from the Monte Alban...
Also, try it as an Old Fashioned (please go to a bar - when it's safe again - and don't make it yourself, after watching your Old Fashioned video)
Damn I like mezcal (in 🍹 margaritas) haters! Lol
11 year up = ecbp
And Vetted
Is anyone else getting Rickety Cricket vibes from the guy on the right? All the mannerisms are there
Is that the guy from it's always sunny?
@@BourbonJunkies yes it is!
What’s MGP?
It's a very large distillery in Indiana that distillery a lot of things and sells them young to people to age. A lot of things are MGP.
Thanks boys! Much appreciated.
CHAT GAT
Well since it's SF, did they at least clean the SHIT off the tables first, before they started nosing the bourbons? Or did they just work around it?
Had Woodinville for 2 months now, still not good,,, simple, no complexity,,, dont waste your money
what the heck is 'store pick' these guys keep talking about??
It's when a store buys a single barrel of a whiskey.
@@BourbonJunkies ahh thanks. havent come across that yet
Gold?really???? silver? Really?
Any JD is undrinkable to me, there is just a nasty flavor I can't get past.
