I agree, the New Riff was a rare miss. #ASM

#ASM I have had so much FOMO with the Cedar Ridge - hopefully they start distributing more to the west coast! Cheers
@@ChrisCan1001 FOMO is a bitch loo. In for the giveaway
Glad to see the Cigar Malt Project made the video!! #ASM
@@mattklaren3545 it was great!! In for the giveaway!
#ASM Haven’t had the chance to try that milestone yet comma, but I think that CR Quintessential would be a great one to find! Cheers Carlos!
@@Brad_Boersma awesome! It's very good..in for the giveaway!
Good work on this series....I really like how you went from such a big field down to the champion! I did manage to get the champion, never could find any of the others though.
#asm
@@jasonh4280 in for the giveaway!
I like New Riff ryes in general, but otherwise they’re kind of hit and miss for me. Haven’t had the NR #ASM but now I know that it can wait for a sample swap. 😂 Appreciate the comparison to Islay scotch for the CR, and I’ll definitely have to keep my eyes peeled for Westward.
@@scottreynolds that jalapeño spoce note.wqa nuts on it! In for the giveaway!
#ASM Let’s see a malted rye blind! quickly becoming one of my favorite pours
@Topshelfphilly I will be doing my top rye video(s) soon. That will have a couple Malted ryes in it
#ASM I'm realling digging ASM especially stuff from Westward
@@Lboogey1982 they are killing it! In for the giveaway!
KEEP KILLIN THE VIDS MAN! #ASM
@codybrew4624 I appreciate it man! In for the giveaway!
#ASM I'm getting used to ASMs. They do have some funkiness that I am coming around to. Westward FTW love both of these!!
@@ncdorito213 Craig, do you like any scotches? In for the giveaway!
You are nailing it!! #ASM
@@rodneyburns5719 thanks Burns! In for the giveaway!
#ASM I need to try more ASMs. I have Milestone 2 and it's absolutely fantastic.
@irang2215 you started at a banger lol. In for the giveaway!
#ASM Nice job once again! Definitely get some wild flavors on those single malts. That milestone is definitely a banger!
@kevinpaige887 just keeping my palate on its toes lol. In for the giveaway!
#ASM I've had a handful of ASM last year, and yes, that Milestone is phenomenal
@StoneColdSteve-Stocks definitely a standout in 2024! In for the giveaway!
Now that's my love rum babay
@@DonaldClark-z9b happy you liked it!
Dark as scarey?? ..peanut butter??, are they making them like a vape flavors...not making fun just new to all this
Peanut butter is a common note I get. Dark vs bright flavors. I'll teach you the ways, Don!
Looking forward to the category of American Single Malts for sure. I thought the Westland Garryana was going to do better or at least finish above the Colere. No surprise they all finished below the Westward. Fun/crazy notes in all of them. Cheers!
I expected better scores from both of them. I scored them much higher when I had them in the 12 bottle blind in 2024!
#ASM haven’t found one I like… I have heard good things on Brother Justus but not distributed here
Do you like any scotches? In for the giveaway!
@ McCallen Oban
@@chancedownsvids ok, so there's hope you can find an ASM that you like. Wasn't sure if you disliked all Malt whiskeys.
#ASM I have several of these and I really agree with your notes.
Sweet, so I'm not crazy lol. In for the giveaway!
I definately need to try more American Single Malts. I've only every tried the Stranhan's Blue Peak...It wasn't bad. #ASM
I tried that too. It didn't make it into my top 8 for a reason lol. In for the giveaway!
A little penis on the palate 😂😂😂😂 Great stuff Carlos! #ASM ! Westward is a winner, but I also enjoy my Single Carrel Westland - have not had Cedar Ridge asm’s yet
Nice #puertorico
Thanks buddy! In for the giveaway!
Your sacrifice in the name of science is appreciated, sir. No cigars for me, but I’ve been told that I need to try good rum! #PUERTORICO
@scottreynolds oh I love "scienceing" lol! Plenty of good rums out there! In for the giveaway!
Let's goooooo Don Carlito!! Looking forward to your tasting video with cigar pairing with the SLB Grander picks. Your notes on the Capo 10 make me think ER or BT. How does the nuttiness of the Barrilito compare to Beam nuttiness? Looked like the crab wanted to get in on that cigar/rum pairing too. Merica!
@RishBhav22 that would be fun, I did get both bottles! Definitely not Beam nuttiness, it wasn't that peanuty. Definitely a darker, rich nut. The Crab Definitely wanted rum lol
@@CGsYTChannel Same, actually got a second WT finished one to gift a friend of mine that is super into rum and tiki drinks.
@RishBhav22 that's very nice of you!!
Great job! Love the change up and definitely love the beach/ocean background. I grew up in Daytona Beach so I love the background! Sipping on a Kirk and Sweeney 18yr rum! #PUERTORICO
@dpfrizz It came out nice, definitely didn't know if it would. I grew up on the beach in CT, definitely not as nice as Daytona Beach, but love the beach! Are you a big rum drinker? In for the giveaway (on entrant currently, so your odds are high lol)
I recommend you the Don Q reserva 7 años
@juanrcovas7892 I had that at the Hilton Bar.. I believe.. and this is why I take notes lol.. reason I didn't but it is because I've seen that at liquor stores here. I was trying to buy stuff I haven't seen. Of course as soon as i get back I see the 3 star at my local store lol.
@ Ok that’s sounds good Trying new labels! Here in the island there is a local cigar producer its name is a tabaco La Altura pretty good ones made with local tobacco capa prieto made in the town of Lares PR and he ships to USA ! So I invite you to try it ! Enjoy your next trip to the island!
@juanrcovas7892 I'm literally going again tmr morning. One of our stops is the Cigar House. So I'll definitely look for it! I appreciate the recommendation!
Great video clear and smooth consistency throughout. Can't wait to try it at the beach # Peurto Rico
@Lucidtag thanks buddy!!
Thanks for the change of pace. Always looking for new alcohol and cigar pairings.
@@mattklaren3545 I'll be doing more cigar content soon!
OMG, I didn't see the crab during editing and it's hard to see on my phone. However, on my TV, there's a crab hanging out for most of the beach scene. Look in the sand, above where my cell phone and cigar travel case are! Hey Mr. CRABBY!
Hope y’all had a great vacation! 10yr Capo sound delicious. When you get back look for a Filipino rum named Don Papa. Great pricing for full flavor rum! Love the 🦀 and the closing! Cheers!
Thanks! I'll definitely keep an eye out for that. I do basically live at liquor stores lol. Took a while to capture a video of that crab lol.
Living the life!
I try everyday!!
Great change of pace. Fresh approach and take. Very cool!!
Thanks! I did say in my first video that this channel wouldn't be all about whiskey lol
@ Oh yeah, the pairing discussion and why I worked and didn’t was great. The setting was also cool. Nice job
@fredfebbriello023 thanks. I had no idea if the sound was going to be terrible, but it worked out!
Ron del Barrilito is from my hometown! They actually buy distilled rum from the Dominican Republic, mash it with fruits, redistill it, and age it in former bourbon and sherry casks. I don't know how they get to call it Puerto Rican Rum but whatever, it's pretty good.
Thats awesome! You think that's crazy? I was trying to find a Puerto Rican whiskey. Best I could find was one claiming it was because the family making it was Puerto Rican. The Whiskey was sourced from somewhere in the US and they were aging/blending/bottling in Miami. I don't even think they distributed in PR. So strange lol.
@@CGsYTChannel I think you're talking about Fincasa, which is MGP rye finished in Barbados Rum Casks and aged/bottled in Miami. It is sold in PR but there's only a couple of liquor stores/supermarkets that sell it. Their website is funny because they talk about how they wanted to represent their heritage and latinos in general, but they couldn't even source a barrel of rum from a spanish speaking country. Honestly, it would be cool to see what happens to whiskey if you age it in PR, but I guess someone else will have to do it.
@irang2215 exactly! Everyone I talked to there said the whiskey evaporates too fast in the barrels. However, There is a lot of whiskey being aged and made in the southern states, so I'm sure there's a way. Probably just not profitable, especially with the bourbon market now.
Love the change up. Looks fantastic in PR - never been but looks like I need to add it to the list. Safe travels my man!
It's very nice and easy to fly in and out. I've only been there before in 2010. However, I'm going back this weekend!
