What are these Bufflo Trace Kosher bottles? Are these sleeper bottles?
I came across these Buffalo Trace Kosher bottles.
Are these just more available picks of Wellers, BT and Sazrac? The only way to know is to buy and try!

10 bottles of Eagle Rare getting a second aging in a Badmotivator Barrel! Day 1 of #E10BarrelProject
มุมมอง 6421 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Day 1: 6.4 Litres (1.8 Gallons) of Eagle Rare getting a second round of aging. How will the lower alcohol % be impacted by the aging process? Will this be considered a #doubleoaked ? This is my first @badmotivatorbarrels2273 project and first round with a goal of long term aging. What pitfalls await me? Is this even a good idea or am I just risking some great whisky? Advice welcome because I ha...

I nearly bought the rye recipe kosher BT today but got suckered by a couple of reduced Bourbons on one of those Amazon 'Flash sales' so I had to grab them instead. I'm really a bourbon type of guy and have found that wheated bourbons need a longer time to air out in the glass and for you (the drinker) to appreciate them better, sometimes 10-15 minutes especially with a freshly opened bottle. A good video though, interesting if a little confusing with the 'hiccup' with the first blind. Thanks for uploading though buddy 🙂
Bro, for the love of God, why are you passing up on those EH tailors buy those
American checking in from Maine, really interesting to see this and what's available there. FWIW That Evan Willaims Single Barrel used to be available all over our country, but now it is only available in Kentucky. Never tried it but have heard its good. As far as the Old Forester, that one you have there is the lowest rung for Old Forester here in the states. You are right in it as an entry level offering, although for the $23 USD or so there are better offerings available to us here. As was said by others the 100 proof is significantly better, but their 1897. 1910 and 1920 at about $55 USD here are top of the line Bourbons that rival many priced 3-4 times that much. I agree the Schenk's is overpriced for what it is, but some really love that EH Taylor and for 110 pounds is a good buy compared to the 200-$250 it goes for here, when you can find it Enjoyed your content and your commentary, the view around the neighborhoods where the stores were was also fun. Got me to subscribe.
Ahh thanks for the subscribe! It's great being able to share what is over here vs the US. And it's really helping improve my bourbon knowledge which is great. I'm still on the lookout for a good old forester pick, they aren't as common here but they show up often enough. I'm heading into London this weekend where there are LOADS more shops, more than could possibly fit into a single video so there will be a few more of these to come, i'll try and show a little more of the areas around the stores as well for you.
The old forester 100 is a great bargain here in the states for $27 US dollars. much better than the 86. Keep recording your whiskey videos, good stuff especially visits in the quiet neighborhoods.
Thanks - yes I will do; and appreciate the support, I’m building out a map / directory of all the good bourbon fan shops I can find in the UK. It’s a much smaller community here but it’s nice to be able to know where to go and look at least. And to be able to find events.
Shenks is phenomenal
I really think I may have to go back for it.
EH Taylor Small Batch is about $200-250 on secondary market here in the states. And very difficult to find. Def worth it at $110euro
It used to be harder here but I’m seeing it a lot more. The single barrel though is a unicorn. Never seen in the wild.
Small batch is $45-50 MSRP. Don't pay any more. Barrel proof is more expensive.
The only blatton's I will drink is straight from the barrel the barrel proof they are pretty good
You need to try yourself the Bardstown Bottled in Bond Origin Series then! It's in my 'horse race' video!
$109 MSRP in the USA
for which one?
They change those two bottles each year that you tried at the end I would be interested in which ones you tried because the 2024s of those this year are fabulous One they did a French oak barrel I think it was the bomberger's The shanks was chocolate malt rye and caramel malt first time ever The reason why I say this is because the last couple years wasn't really too good?
i'll keep a look out, they are certainly going to be on my radar now for the future though.
Evan Williams single barrel in the United States is a Kentucky bottle only you can't get it in any other state I was putting them in my collection every year until this happened :-( it hurt my feelings
Yeah i seen this too. Although i keep seeing people saying it's getting back out there again so there may be hope yet. I was glad I made the call to pick it up.
Hello I'm an American born in Oxford. If i visit England ever 'm sure to check out some of those stores
It's really interesting here how the small store scene is. Honestly there aren't a lot, but the ones that do have stock tend to get great picks. I've been trying to map them all. A project I intend to complete so when you get here you can do a proper tour hunt.
The Campfire by High West is the older release (I can tell from the original label) and that is some of my fav they ever made! Grab that!
I might have to look into that, i missed a high west tasting recently where they were all on show. What's the taste profile like?
I'm amazed by this project. I can't wait to hear how it turns out!
Thanks, me too! Will be making update posts. Any tips on the key aging time periods for me to be on the lookout for to take a sample pour from for later comparisons?
@@BarrelRollx I generally recommend waiting a year before tasting, as the first year shows the most noticeable changes, with the oak influence slowing down after that. With infinity barrels, you have an interesting option, you could create a solera system, where you periodically remove some spirit and replace it with new. After 20 years, you'd still have some spirit that's 20+ years old mixed in.
@@christopherconrad1129 thanks; the idea of mixing new to the old is one I’m wrestling with. Do I keep it pure or do I take a cut out and top it back up… I guess time and tasting will tell. Will also have to keep an eye on the ABV given it went in lower proof. Would like to keep it above 40 so that may dictate the process a little too.
At one point i wanted to buy something like this this barrel but not an infinity barrel so I could experiment with my own whiskey with aging. Never ended up doing it though
I once tried a mini wooden barrel and it aged sooo fast it ruined it. In the future I want to try my own end to end from mash to barrel - but some legal hoops to get through there first and some networks to build. Next one may be a white dog trial but that's more expensive that the aged juice it's crazy.
@@BarrelRollx making home made whiskey would be dope
@@yonikotlaro4758 was a way of life for many for a long time too. Although I don't think i've got it in me to be a moonshiner despite how dapper I look in an old style suit. But my own barrel pick and own barrel lay downs are on my bucket list.
Now that's a lot of Eagle Rare😂
Does it count as a 'Convocation of Eagles' now? (I had to look that up) :P
Out of stock. Not interested.
Which ones? The Eagle Rare or the barrels? I know bad motivator barrels are very popular but if you join their mainling list and reach out they should be able to give you an idea of timelines. As for the Eagle Rare, in the UK, can get it everywhere which is really fortunate for us here as it's a great drop.
Just got the email notification that Infinity Barrels back in stock if you were interested in checking them out.
Great video, great logo engrave ;)
it's clean! I love it.
Thanks for featuring our three Oxford shops! Great video. Hope to catch you next time you're in Oxford.
I'm sure you will... I haven't fully taken my eye of some of those bottles yet.
I feel so bad for you all over there - those prices are insane.
Yea prices in the UK are terrible for bourbon. Better to get scotch or whiskey.
Some of these are a little higher than usual as it’s a lot of independent shops so they have higher costs. But independent shops often have more variety and different bottles and it’s nice to support them for the few extra bucks where you can imo. Wouldn’t mind a trip out to the US to fill my bags though!!
If only I liked the taste 😅
@@BarrelRollx is it legal to ship samples from the US to the UK? I'm guessing not but if it is, I can send you a bunch to try.
@@BarrelRollxYea these smaller shops gotta do what they got do to, to make it out there. I was lucky to get EHT Small batch for 78.95£ at the Whiskey Exchange Shop in Covert Garden for their bourbon of the month of July. My take away is that personally I'd rather support newer local distilleries that are independent like Bimber or only pay extra if it's a bottle I know that I can get in my local country.
If you can find them there, the Old Forester 1897, 1910 and 1920 are much better bottles than the normal shelf stuff.
Yes I’ll be on the lookout; they are available; need to get a taste and see. The 86 was a bit soft and light for me so passed on it in the end.
Going to get the 100 proof bottle, around $30 here in mid michigan USA. Great review 👏 Cheers 👍 😉 🥃
It's a great bottle for $30! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Appreciate your love for Bourbon, I too am a huge Eagle Rare fan. Cheers mate
Ohh me too; thanks for the comment and dopping by! :) If you love Eagle Rare, you will like the little project i've got underway at the moment that will be out in a week or so ;) It's big!
Great idea for a blind, I wish that I had anyone of the four that you just tried but new to bourbon (less than a year) and haven't gotten around to getting a Blantons yet but it's on my list. The Bardstown looks like a great contender for my next purchase though now.
Honestly, yes, get the Bardstown first! I got my first Blanton's as a wedding treat and honestly, it was too hot to be enjoyed and still drinks hot. It has it's place and a lot of character and flavour, but early on your journey, you can get 3 picks for the same price and have a better introduction. If you haven't tried Legent, it's very affordable and accessible and IMO better than Blanton's on most days.
39th subscriber! What a deal you got! Fun to see bourbon from a different perspective. Cheers!
Thanks for the sub and yeah it's a really good price, they have great prices on the fully pappy and BTAC collections too... might be a celebratory one of those once i hit some channel goals
I follow The British Bourbon Society on Facebook too, though I don't look much at Facebook these days; I really love Bourbon as well and will try and keep my eyes peeled for the kind of events you mentioned. I hope to see you one day soon mate to discuss and drink American Whiskies. I'm in London; where are you?
I get around and often try to get to London events so may see you there! Do feel welcome to come say hello and introduce yourself if you see me plonking around.
I love that you love our bourbon. I also love the whisky from Scotland and Ireland.
They are starting to experiment with some corn mash bills over here in a few places, i'm excited to see how that works out.
Looks very nice, maybe cleaner and neater than the Frankfort shop to be honest. If nothing else they are making their products easier to obtain.
With a shop opening in Paris now... maybe i'll have to save up for a Buffalo Trace European Tour.
In the states the decanter bottle is $65.00 and the standard 100 proof is $30.00. Cheers
I meant to ask... how accessible is the decanter in the states? It's rare here and i've been loving it!
BiB McKenna in the states is hit or miss. I have had some bangers and others have been flat. I am happy to found a banger! It used to be very allocated but can find it everywhere now. Cheers
So many better Bourbon's out there than Weller! Just my opinion. Cheers y'all!
I haven't had a chance to try them all yet - but I plan to very soon. I think weller is just easy drinking, but I agree on the Special Reserve...
@@d-averion5011 inspired me to go try them all; only 2/5 passed; 107 though is good.
Hi there, just found your videos and am intrigued by what's happening with Single Malt in the US and Bourbon overseas and in the UK. I think worlds are starting to collide in the whiskey culture and it will be interesting to see what evolves. I am excited to follow your Bourbon adventures. I live in Ohio just an hour north of New Riff. My son just moved home from Glasgow and we hope to visit the UK soon, so he can see some friends. Cheers and keep the great content coming.
Thanks - Yeah i'm hoping some more of the bourbon mash bills make it into the UK, it would be interesting how the cooler climate aged them, I would expect they would take longer - but it would give a different profile. And thanks for the encouragement on the channel. It's just a bit of fun and a big part of bourbon for me is the community, not just the juice.
Interesting bottle I’ve heard a few good reviews but never tried myself, keep up the videos 👌
Thanks! You know there might be an easy way to fix that if you are in the UK ;)
I’m in the Uk I shall add it to my list to try 👍
@@Robd16send me a direct message on insta if you want and I’ll send you the sample from the vid; can see how it lands for yourself.
@@BarrelRollxwill do thank you
Thank you received the sample, my thoughts I like it it’s good. I found it very smooth and I can taste a lot of oakiness in there, a hint of vanilla there too. I thought it was low on the sweet side but quite a creamy taste also, not much of a burn at all which was surprising considering the proof. It was very good overall, I will definitely keep my eye out for a bottle and thank you again for sending me a sample very appreciated
With standard Buffalo Trace regularly available at £19 (I once purchased for 16), Eagle Rare for £32 and Sazerac Rye for £30 - their prices were high. Plus there are other distilleries also pushing in UK like Heaven Hill's Elijah Craig at £32 pounds and Four Roses for around £21 for the standard and small batch for around £26 Just shop around. But would love the tasting experience what was the cost.
I went for the larger tasting which was £35. Can certainly get cheaper tastings but sometimes it's nice to understand things direct from the brand. As far as bottle prices too, in store isn't going to be the cheapest you can get - but that's to be expected. Flagship stores like this are about the brand awareness; particularly with a central location like this. Also great for American tourists who may visit London but not Kentucky. To me as well it says to me they are really pushing / testing this market more and I don't mind spending a few extra £'s to send the message back to their head office - yes! we want you here! It's better than than save the extra £5 when ER is on Tesco clubcard. (Although i'll prob get that too!)
It sounds like a tourist trap for Americans. lol
There was a few in the queue for sure, and wheni've been passed since as they can't get some of the stuff like Eagle Rare etc over there like we can easily here. One American also was very keen to make sure he got a Buffao Trace London branded hat as well. Was pleasantly surprised by the vokda though...
sazerac is more expensive than eagle rare? that’s crazy. i live in houston texas, sazerac is ~$25 bottle (~20 gbp) and eagle rare is impossible to find. it was allocated at a local store a few months ago. it was $60 and only sold in a bundle with another bottle…
Price on the weller?
was £8 a pour from memory.
@@BarrelRollx not bad, very good for central London.
@@BarrelRollx Thanks, went and enjoyed one myself.
@@nickmarshall8436 nice! It’s a great spot.
