At 10:13 Josh, blind, thinks they're overpriced. Once you know what they are, 2 thumbs up. That's why blinds are such a great way to taste. I absolutely love and look forward to these videos
Haha, yep these blinds are ruthless! đ At the end of the day we consumers are lucky to have these two products in the market (or at least those of us who like proof). Cheers and thanks for watching man!
JD SiBBF single-handedly changed my mind about what JD brings to the table, and one of my special occasion pours. ALSO! Based on your recommendations, I saved the last 2oz of my 375mL bottle of JD SiBBF and added OF 1920 and OF 1910 to make the "Brown-Forman Banana Pancakes" blend you all recommended a while back--SO F*CKING GOOD!
I have a bottle of 1792 FP that I have been waiting to open for my whiskey group, but I may need to sneak in a pour beforehand to see what all the fuss is about...
Glad you love the blend!
This is the way! Such an enjoyable blend...Banana Pancakes all day. Great after dinner/dessert drink.
That blend sounds good. What video do they talk about it in? I LOVE LOVE LOVE the rye, but my standard JDSBSBP is one of those bottles that's fine, but I'd rather sip Rare Breed Usually, so it's sitting and won't be replaced (unless I find a Hazmat batch)... So are 1920 and 1910... so that blend sounds perfect for me.
Really enjoy your content. Keep up the good work! Cheers, Josh & Erin.
Really enjoyed this. Subscribed and cant wait to watch more!
This was very interesting. I have both these bottles currently on my high proof shelf. Initially I enjoyed the JDSBBP much more. It had heat (mine is 130.8 proof), but also a lot of flavor. For some reason the 1792 FP just came across as having so much more heat. Conversely to your experience, for me it drank very hot. However, now that it's been open a while and I've acclimated to the higher proof bourbons I find I'm really enjoying the 1792. I still really enjoy the JDSBBP. I have another one waiting to be cracked open at 131.2 proof.
Too funny...I had just the same experience recently. JDSBBP was one of my personal favorites (heater at 130 proof) but it never came off too hot and I got tons of banana. 1792 FP was a burner to the point that the heat took away any flavor and it was all burn. Regretted the trade and sat on it untouched for almost a year. Two weeks ago, I decided to try the 1792 again and it completely changed. The heat tempered and I got a rush of cherry. I preferred it over the JD. JD remains one of my favorites but 1792 redeemed itself.
These 1792FPs do seem to need some air, thatâs for sure
Love you guys, always great content. A big fan of the 1792FP and the JDBP Rye.
Iâm a big fan of both of these products. I have some JDBP that are over 130 and they drink way under proof. Great video, a lot of fun. Cheers
Scored a Jack Daniel Single Barrel Barrel Proof Barrel House 2-11, Barrel 22-03053, Bottled 3-14-22, 130 Proof today, but have NEVER seen a 1792 Full Proof bottle around here. Looking forward to trying it.
If you are in PA/tristate area... Total Wines Delaware had a Pick of 1792 FP yesterday (also ECBP pick, and last months OFBP & Sag Spirit picks are still there (as well as several dozen others, but those are the ones I'd grab).
I had my first 1792 Single Barrel the other night. I definitely need to revisit it because there were notes in it that did not sit right with me. Oddly enough I don't have a single bottle of Jack Daniel's in my collection. In fact the last time I drank any Jack was a few years ago. Probably should change that and pick up a bottle or two.
Two great whiskies to compare. I was surprised you preferred the 1792 until you mentioned it is a store pick! I've been nursing a 1792 small batch store pick as it is a great one as well! Nice turtle btwđ
Thanks Jeff! Appreciate you watching as always. Cheers buddy!
I love both. Highly recommended.
I really liked your depth review. I most admired your drinking glass. I searched your merch and could not find them. Where can I find them.
We're due to order another bulk order of them and will do so as soon as we have the time. When we do get ready to release them they'll be available to our Patreon community first and then open for public orders. It'll likely be a summer restock.
Thereâs so much variation in JD SBBP, based on the few Iâve tried. The bottle I own is very dark, all maple candy and char, but the one I tried most recently was comparatively light, fruity, and banana pudding (both were 128-131 pf)
Definitely lots of variations in the JDSBBP profile which is why we didnât feel bad comparing it to a 1792FP single barrel. Cheers and thanks for watching Cade!
Something to ponder: many craft whiskies come into the market overpriced in the $70-80 range so when we get tried and true barrel proof/full proof products for under $70 in this market, it has to be looked at as a high value. Both of these are 3
or 4 thumbs up for retail consumer. So yâall need to bring some extra hands for these rare occasionsđ
Man, my first bottle of 1792 FP was so hot it took me over a year to finish it off. Haven't replaced it. Maybe I'll try again. Cuz the JD SBBP is definitely a favorite of mine.
Pour it and let it sit 15-30 minute, then sip.
These are both so good, it would be hard to choose. The 1792 hits me in the chest harder than the JD, and itâs higher proof
I've never had a "special" Jack Daniels that I've liked. I left a Coy Hill on the shelf a little while back.
Nothing is for everyone, thatâs for sure. Can definitely see why some wouldnât like JDSBBP and even Coy Hill. Cheers and thanks for watching Leonard!
I feel 1792 FP is kinda hot too. But I find it a great one to use in a hot toddy, the proof helps it hold up.
This is the first time I've been TOTALLY opposite of you guys! JDSBBP is oily and complex af to me. I also love the 1792 FP. I don't know how either was viewed as "uncomplex". I feel JDSBBP is the best bargin in all of whiskey. Great video guys, love the channel... as I type this I hear "4 out of 10" đđ đ¤Ł
Keep in mind single barrels will vary quite a bit as well, and one thing weâve noticed is a lot of variability with both of these products. Weâve got four different JDSBBPs in the house right now and they all taste wildly different (with two being markedly better than the other two).
@@stuffandwhiskey Meanwhile I agree with you on the JD (my SBSBP is good, but definitely not complex... as you said; they're single barrels so gonna vary)... but disagree on the 1792 (but mine is not a pick)... as others note, (and as most of the haters on it point out) it drinks HOT HOT HOT... definitely not underproof (but again, yours is a pick so could be different). But if you are prepared, or let it smooth out in the glass a bit... it's definitely not simplistic. It's not got the folds and wrinkles of a cigar blend or a super deep 10+ y/o bourbon obviously; but it's got several key flavor notes and it is BOLD in those. It tastes bland if you let the ethanol scorch your taste buds (which is why some reviewers say it's nothing but hot). 1792 FP actually was a really nice surprise, as I just do not enjoy 1792 SB or BIB. I need that proof to enjoy the flavors that 1792 juice has going on.
The timing of this video is quite fortuitous because I found and bought two bottles of 1792 Full Proof (first time seeing it) last Saturday. And they also happen to be a store pick. I'm really looking forward to trying it out now!
Let us know how it is. Air time helps a LOT with 1792FP.
â@@stuffandwhiskey You ask, you receive - I opened one up and on the nose I experienced the "cozy blanket" smell, along with vanilla and cherry. And there's something on the nose I really like but I can't put my finger on...yet. It certainly doesn't nose at 125 proof to me. First sip: that is a looooooong 125 proof finish. Slightly hot, very woody, and it really coats the palette. Second sip is the same. Honestly, if all 1792 FP were like this I'd recommend it all day. This is a good, strong bourbon that's let's you know it if you drink it neat. It can hold it's own in an old fashioned.
@@jeffreyjennings1640 love it! Glad it turned out to be an awesome pick for you. Theyâre huge value when the single barrels are good.
JDSBBP is one of the best bottles I have and my 1792 Full Proof Store Pick is one of the worst. Crazy that yours are so similar.
With the variance of JDSBBPs you kinda never know what youâre going to get. We forgot to mention it but stores here let you try before you buy on store picks, which isnât a luxury we have with off the shelf JDSBBPs.
I have both of these as picks. I havenât tried them yet and might just blind them.
WHISKEY CHEERS đđđđ
I gotta go w Erin, I much prefer the teriyaki jerky! And if you havenât tried the WalMart brand of teriyaki jerky, get some. Itâs so much better than it should be!
Loving your channel. You two have amazing chemistry, and major bonus points for being a real watch guy.
Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words Matt!
Dear wife to dear husband:
âDonât yuck my yum.â
Haha, that's an awesome way to put it!
I Love Both
JDSBBP has become a favorite. The little brother to Coy Hill. I have a few different bottles. Dang, I need to look closer at the 1792 offerings. I have 2 bottles and it is meh for me. Each to is own. No wrong answers here. LOL 1792 pick? Nicely done. Damn, picks can be tough and frustrating. If they send you 3 small samples you are just picking the best of the three and it might not be all that good. I have done a few. Cheers
Very true, Mike. As we look into doing more picks ourselves, thatâs where we have to be willing to turn a pick down if we donât get good samples (and we most definitely are willing to do that as we wouldnât want our name tied to anything that wasnât good). But if youâre part of a pick crew then youâve only got one vote. Luckily the picks weâve done so far, our favorites have been the crowd winners.
The Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proofs are hard to find here in Colorado only can find the 375 mlđĽ
Good to know Jared!
Ello Govna. Lol. My phonetic brittish accent. I would be interested in purchasing one of those charity 1792 bottles. Any info on how I might make that happen?
Donations for the giveaway are open now at gofund.me/85e28c74 and weâll be announcing winners on this Sundayâs livestream. Thanks for watching Wayne!
1792 FP store picks are never a let down. Worth 50-60 all day
Is that a Turtle on the wrist? What kind of strap is that? And JDBP FTW!
Great eye! SRPE91 Turtle on, of all things, an Alibaba waffle strap with quick release spring bars. Havenât been able to find another rubber waffle strap thatâs as soft and pliable as this one, that isnât a silicone dust magnet, that also has quick release spring bars. Big fan for a modest $10 and a fairly sizable wait for shipping.
We don't get 1792 Full Proof in Canada but the JDSBBP does show up and I can get it for about $40 USD on sale. I don't know if there is anything that can beat it at that price.
Thatâs a crazy good price!
@@stuffandwhiskey and no sooner do I say 1792 Full Proof isn't available and a Single Barrel store pick gets announced at a local store here in Calgary. But its $60 USD.
I have your 1792 pick but havenât opened it up yet
Congrats on snagging one!
wow that was the most fighting to speak first ive seen yet
Got us wondering if this was our third head-to-head for the day. đ
IMO proof more than 60% is not easy to drink. Itâs only good food add in collection or having it in the private bar as a sample of highest proof Whisky.
Always interesting how different things hit people differently. Weâre less âdrinkersâ and more âsippersâ so we appreciate the extra flavor of more proofâŚif and only if that proof drives more flavor rather than just proof heat.
I like JD BP. It's does have a kick.
To me, the JDSBBP is more flavorful and the Full Proof drinks way hotter. Of course, Iâve never had the store pick version.
You definitely got one of the lower proof JDSBBP bottles. You guys are great, but I totally disagree with comparative judging upfront. Theyâre both great. Compare them at the end.
Can you elaborate on what you mean by up front vs the end?
You both use different approaches to judging. Both can be 2 thumbs up if you really like both. Of course, a favorite can be picked even though they are both 2 thumbs up.
Tried three JDSBBPs (thankfully the last was a 375âŚwe need more of those), the last being a distillerâs pick that OKC is losing its collective mind over...I hated the first, was okay with the second, and was like okay+ with the pick. All in all, not my jam. My 1792 history is meh on a single bottle of Small Batch, meh on a Full Proof pick, and just recentlyâŚI got a BiB pick from a store in Austin that seemed to know their stuffâŚI like it on bottle popâŚmaybe Iâll dig it when it opens up.
Absolutely love the âokay+â rating! So many pours fall into that for us. Weâre going to have to use that!
I mean Southern accent is just a drawn out version of Old British (itâs actually very interesting how close they are) So we ainât to far off down here đ
I'm saving the 10 bucks and buying the 1792. British accents would be Brilliant!!! You've got to pop the "t's" on the British accents.đ
The problem I'm having with all of these barrel strength bourbons is, I love the punchy high flavor so much I am screwed tasting anything under 110 proof. Now, the ordinarily drinkable and sippable, Wild Turkey 101 has been reduced to a low flavor mixer. Sad but true in my case. The hobbie just got more expensive. Thanks for these vids, they are great. Love the interaction between you two about as much as the reviews. Still can't find "smelly feet" on the nose of any Bourbon I have tasted, though......hmmmmmm
Thanks so much Reevin! And weâre right there with you on preferring the big flavor that a balanced, proofy pour can bring.
Why were the ratings in this blind flight not directed to the whiskey as it compares to all whiskeys?
Josh here. We definitely couldâve been more clear there. Our expectations are that if we pay money for something, we want it to be thumbs up across the board. Weâll mark up or down from there based on how good it is or isnât. This applies to all pours. For Erin, sheâll also mark down if she dislikes something about one pour compared to the other, because as she figures it, if weâre comparing two things and she prefers one then the other warrants being marked down (whereas Iâm more prone to scoring things the same if theyâre a flip of the coin). Hope that clarifies. Weâre revamping how we score and talk about pours in the coming weeks BTW to simplify and clarify. Appreciate you watching Kevin!
You have every right in the world to be wrong đ¤Ł
1792 full proof store picks from total wine are my favorite bourbons.
Itâs usually 44-$45 also
Just picked one up today for $49. Canât wait to try it tonight!
What randomizer app do you all use?
Randomic in dark mode. We went through a lot before we found one as simple, clean, and ad free as this one.
I am a big fan of your contentâŚ. so please excuse me for offering a little constructive feedback. Why do you guys reveal what youâre sampling before offering up your retail and consumer scores? In this episode, I think itâs pretty clear that it colored your opinionâŚ. especially with the JDSBBP. Again, love your stuffâŚ. this point has always been in my head, and seemed pretty evident in this episode. Please keep up the great work!
Thanks for the feedback Rob! Youâll love the new rating system weâre changing to (weâve already started implementing it but we batch content so itâll be a bit before you see the new format). We say whether we like it enough to want to own a bottle blind, find out the price, then say whether that changes our opinions or not. Done and dusted (and super simple). Rating these that way definitely wouldâve changed things, and we can still speak to non-blind personal preferences after the fact, but the official rating will be 100% based on the blind tasting and price.
@@stuffandwhiskey Excellent. Looking forward to the new content coming our way!
Love jack bp
Where is store pick for sale
This one was through Nashville Daily Spirits (February 2022).
Definitely team Teriyaki Jerky
Your accent reminds me of my wife⌠she does and âaccentâ and I am like âwhat is that?!â Haha!! She also has a bad habit of picking up and talking in an accent when we are speaking to someone with an accent. đ¤Śđťââď¸
I like 1792
For the Australian "no", they append an "R" at the end of it. So like: Noooooooorr
You guys don't make it very obvious at the end of these who won. No graphics or anything attached to the scores. I'm left still wondering which one won đ¤
Itâs more about how they compare and we often prefer different pours, so announcing a single winner is tough sometimes. Often times itâs a flip of the coin, and the blind tastings highlight just how close things can be sometimes.
@stuffandwhiskey but the title literally says "Vs". If it's a head to head match like a sporting event a winner NEEDS to be declared. We aren't watching these for a participation trophy. Sometimes we need to know which to buy and we rely on these videos for that. Thanks!
@@detroyt232323 thereâs ties in plenty of sporting events. What we choose as winner matters less than *why* we like or donât like something. We cannot recommend enough to *not* simply buy whichever we pick as a winner in a head-to-head. If you miss why we pick what we pick, then you may end up spending money on a bottle you donât enjoy.
@stuffandwhiskey ties in plenty of sporting events?? đ¤đ¤Łđ¤đ¤Ł You must not be a real sports fan. A tie results in less than 1% of the games. And those games are usually regarded as a huge disappointment and let down by the fans because everyone leaves not a feeling of unfulfillment and confusion. Way to NOT listen to one of your viewers and take some constructive criticism. There's a reason that the two MOST subscribed bourbon channels (SLB and Bourbon Junkies) have all of these followers. They MAKE DECISIVE DECISIONS THAT HELP THE VIEWERS ACTUALLY DECIDE WHICH IS BETTER! Some of us don't have unlimited budgets to just casually have every single bottle laying around and just ho hum drinking them one day or maybe not. I actually ended up buying a 1972 Full Proof yesterday and literally went to the bathroom in a Total Wine scrambling to get information on if I should pull the trigger or not. Or your video in particular left me wishing I hadn't wasted my precious time on it! Thank God for the other channels out there that actually helped guide me into buying one! đđ¸
Stuff and Proofhounds.đ
Stuff and Flavorhounds for sure, which often times does come with proof. Guilty as charged!
Like others have said, my bottle of Full Proof is HOOOOT!! On the contrary, the Jack drinks way below its proof.
Scottish or French!!
đ
Availability of Jack Daniels Barrel Proof is 10 thumbs down. I have been into bourbon for 3 years now and do alot of hunting. I have never seen a JD BP once. I have been to Wisconsin hunting alot, I mainly shop in Minnesota where I live. I just cant find it but I would love to. I dont have a few bottles of 1792 full proof though, atleast I can find them
Distribution is odd for sure, and admittedly we live in Jack Danielâs backyard here in Nashville, TN. Hopefully they get it together and get more up that way.
Does he have any other vocabulary than dark, darker, darkness đĽ´
Nah, thatâs pretty much the only words I know. đ
Your comments @10:00-11:00 or so are pretty telling. You think they both drink bland aka "over-simplistic", and also wildly under-guessed the proof. You blew out your senses chugging these big boys. May need a redo on this blind. @7:16 is exactly the problem that can occur blinding two high proofers, they dull down and become indistinguishable.
Maybe, but maybe not. I hear what you're saying and your point stands. Unless I'm misremembering this video, it wasn't like these hit us like high proof in the beginning and then dulled down as we continued to sip (which would indicate our palates got blown out). That's just how they came across this day, which happens from time to time in completely double blind tastings without any frame of reference to proof in the first place. They're VERY similar in proof and VERY similar in flavor profile, which all makes sense upon reveal.
That said, palate blow out is definitely something to be not only aware of but cautious about during blind tastings, and something we regularly keep in mind during all our recording sessions.
