Green River Full Proof Review - A Value Hitter Or A Full Proof Failure?
Great video, the 2024 batch looks darker than the 2023 version.
Really good in Chicago right now for $45
I have 2024 shenks and really enjoy it but I feel like you guys it's just not worth the price. I have bombergers 2023 and have not tried this year's but I really enjoy the bombergers I feel like it is worth the price! I don't feel like anyone would be upset with either though! Michters is always a little bit high on the price with all of their stuff. They don't produce as much as the other BIG boys so to speak and their BEP is lower.
I haven't gone back to do a full, blind tasting, but the Jim Beam is something special. I don't expect I'll have trouble picking it or the Bardstown Bourbon out. Jake going for the wheater still surprising me.
Was an easy A. Top 10 bourbon release last year.
I tried this last Friday for $24 a pour and it was delicious. Saturday, I woke up at 3 am, aliens came down and said "go get bourbon", so I got got dressed and drove to HH. I was 35th in line. Only 40 bottles released that day.
I enjoyed these, but I also only paid $74.99 a bottle.
HE SLAMMED IT ALRIGHT
Next time, I will use a better phrase for sure.
I honestly think when people say Beam funk it’s just made up
We have always found this peanut shell like funk or dustyness to most Beam products. Almost like the shells that you would find on the floor at a Texas Roadhouse when that was still allowed. Hope this helps a bit. Cheers!
Where's the video of the kentucky hunt? Curious to watch!
Sadly, there was no video as we didn't have the foresight to film anything. Is that something you might want to see going forward?
Thanks for the review, hoping it comes to Ohio soon. Also would be fun to see a blind of your favorite Bardstown releases!
It's not a bad idea! Idea is coming in hot sometime in the future.
Awesome review! Can’t wait to grab one of these. Cheers guys
It is a great bottle, really worth it's price point and even a bit more. Cheers!
Great review gents! I've been hearing great reviews on this and will be picking this up. Cheers! 🤙
An amazing pour that is otally worth your time! Cheers!
It’s completely ok to simp for a distillery you love. We are hardcore Old Forester simps. Cheers guys!!!
If I simped for every distillery that I loved, I would be recording these videos from a cardboard box on the side of the road, lol. There are so many good bottles out there (both allocated and not). Old Forester has my heart, but Wild Turkey has my soul right now. Cheers!
Pirate bottles
We have only seen those mythical pirate bottles and have never gotten the opportunity to try one before. But if you have samples, we will always accept those! Cheers , friend!
I love every one of these 12 years I've gotten. I appreciate that the packaging is fancy since it's on the more expensive side.
Once I tried it at the distillery, I knew I had to have one. I am so glad I pulled the trigger on it!
I'd pay up to $80 for Eagle rare 10
There's nothing wrong with that! Eagle Rare is a wonderful bottle that carries an age statement not too often seen. Great flavor and a perfect bottle for someone just getting into well aged bourbons.
This one is on my list to grab eventually just because I love EC, but I'm in no rush for it. I would really love to see them come out with barrel proof versions of the Toasted.
We hear you and totally agree with your idea of the barrel proof toasted bottles! Those might just take this line to the next level!
Not even a fair fight ✌🏼🇺🇸
We kind of knew that going in but loved the possibility of an upset, lol. Cheers!
These actually landed in Idaho ON TIME! I like it. I won't buy a back up but will keep a bottle on the shelf
It's an alright pour. Definitely gives more than the traditional EC rye, just didn't blow us away. Nice to have one, but never really need two. Cheers!
what is the point of having all that whiskey when you drink white claw on the down low
Doesn't everyone drink White Claw on the DL?
Congrats buds!
Thanks Tony!
Congrats!!! Great pour and thanks for all the awesome videos! Cheers
Thank you for watching and supporting! So many more fun videos to come! Cheers!
Awesome guys count me in❤
It's going to be a wild ride to 1000 for sure!
Congrats guys
Thank you so much! Here's to 500 and on to 1000. Cheers, friend!
Is it good?
It was quite good. We know Texas bourbon isn't for everyone but we sure do enjoy it.
meh. loose bob barker. ruining your content.
This situation has since been fixed. Who would have thought that a shotgun mic would be so cheap? lol. But in all seriousness, thank you for the input and we hope you keep watching. Cheers!
OWA I'd pay up to $80 for it. The age stated Jack Daniels I may pay up to $100. Stagg Jr Im not paying up for. In my area they're $300 each.
300 is a lot for stagg...especially since secondary is creeping sub 200. OWA is a solid one to pay up for, I (Dan) would personally drop 100 for one if I didn't have any on the shelf. Cheers, friend!
well now I'm happy I wonderments this in a raffle. I'm curious for a follow up review at toward the end of the year. This way you all can see how it has changed.
We will for sure drink this one again on camera this year! We were blown away with how developed and complex the flavors were. Deep depth of flavor combined with an amazing nose and a finish that goes on for days! Cheers, friend!
so you 2 are the culprits!! My local Total Wine had these for $310 before tax and now they're complete sold out. The Bourbon heads in my area saw this vid and scooped them all up. j/k. Thanks for the honest review. Wish I could try this one but $291 to $310 is too rich for me for a 10 year rye.
I wish we could honestly say that we have the clout to influence people like that, but we just don't. But in all honesty, this is a solid release, but there are some better rye whiskies out there. If you can find a pour at a bar or friends house, go that route first. Cheers!
That's pretty amazing that you consider going from $48 to $60 paying up. I'm thinking of a bottle that goes for $268 to $335 as "paying up" for.
Sadly for some people in the world going from 48 to 60 is paying up quite a bit. We wish that just were not the case, but sadly, it is. Thanks for checking us out, cheers!
@@thewhiskeywatchers Thanks! And I apologize if it came across that I did not appreciate that.
That Kirkland is not great at all. Just had it. We blinded it against OF 100, Early Times BIB and WT 101. Came in DEAD last! Super ethanol forward finish. Don't believe the hype!
Interesting, our bottle is super flavor forward with banana, brown sugar, vanilla, and a light oak presence. Perhaps ours has just gotten more air and developed in the bottle a bit. Sorry you had a bad experience with it. This one is a go to for us.
@@thewhiskeywatchers blind it. You never really know what you have until you do.
Agree the whiskey of the year so far!
I don't think anything will touch this outside of BTAC or perhaps a Four Roses LE.
I have Old Overholt 114 , never had this one 😉 Cheers 🥃 👍
This one is very plesent, but for the price you may want to try before you buy.
Was so hoping for an OF win as it is more readily available and cheaper.
OF is one of my favorite brands, and the 100 proof lives on my shelves rent free. It is hard to beat for the price. Cheers!
Glad yours turned out! Everything I have enjoyed and opened this year I have put in mine and I tasted it last month and it wasn't great! It was okay but not great
These things are so finicky. We got lucky, and honestly, we have the rest of the year to either screw it up or make it better. Will make another video in a couple of months' time. Cheers!
@thewhiskeywatchers ill keep working at it and maybe load it down woth some barrel proofs and next time not mix wheaters in there. Mine is drinkable just not great. The individual parts are much better than the sum
At this rate it might end up being an infinity small batch lol
You aren't wrong! The list of included bottles is getting out of hand at this point lol.
I will need to sip
You know where it is!
Glad it turned out good!
You know where it is if you want to sample it.
Ah crap! I knew I forgot to snag a sample while I was down. Can't wait to see how it keeps developing!
We will have multiple samples waiting for you next time buddy!
What's good? Just found your channel and like what I see so far! Btw... you're at 510! Cheers brothers!!!
Thanks for checking us out, and thanks for being 510! We are glad you are here! Cheers!
It’s good but somewhat underwhelming to me I’ll take the single barrel over it everyday. Both the bourbon and the rye.
For what it is, you can't really beat it around where we are. The single barrel is delicious for sure, one of my favorites.
Great Video idea.
the improvised microphone is top tier funny and just works.
Improvise, adapt, and overcome lol.
Been looking for the Kirkland here in michigan, nothing yet but again I'm in michigan 😕 Cheers 👍 😉 🥃
For the price, there isn't much that will beat it. Hope it gets up your way sooner than later. Cheers!
Party Harty for sure!
I would give my left you know what for single rickhouse!
It is a very tasty bottle. We are still looking for Russell's 15 down here.
@thewhiskeywatchers I am in a small town in indiana about a little over am hour from louisville and I am still look for russells 15. Russells 13 and a single rickhouse
The single rickhouse is all I need to complete the Russell’s lineup The 13 is my favorite, the 15 is just barely behind (like on a scale of 1-10 it’s .03 behind lol). I overpaid for the 13 (200) and would do it again. Got super lucky with the 15 at msrp
@garnetreecejones9222 I would love any of the russells I live in a small town indiana. Luckily I can get buffalo trace products pretty easy for decent prices. However we do not get anything other than buffalo trace so I have to trade my buffalo trace products for other stuff or drive an hour and a half to go to the distillery and hope I get lucky! I have had some luck at Michters
@@brettmchan2855 I get it. I’m in Virginia. The way they do drops was ok. They changed it and now it’s awful. I live close to the wv and Maryland lines and go there to hunt. Got the Russell in dc not long ago. There is hit or miss. Gotta negotiate cause EVERYTHING is marked to secondary or more. Some shops understand and will negotiate some won’t
You say Jack 10 is better than Jack 12 and you'd pay up to $120 for the 10. But then you say Jack 12 is worth $180-$200. Trying to wrap my head around this. If Jack 10 is worth $120 and is better, shouldn't Jack 12 be worth *less than* $120?
We were just giving numbers based on current secondary value.
Green River Full Proof, again, again and again.
Great bottle at a great price!
OWA 107 & Stagg
