Great video! Very informative and helpful
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for checking out the channel.
Thank you, Chris. Awesome overview.
You are very welcome. I am glad you enjoyed it!
I am now a Bourbon and Whiskey expert!
Very informative. I never knew most of that about Bourbon. I knew it was different than whiskey, but I never knew why. Thanks for explaining everything.
Im glad I could teach you something new. Hope you enjoyed the video.
Great video, I can tell you’re passionate about it. You did a great job.
Ty very much. I really appreciate that! I should honestly make more parts!
Hell yeah! Awesome, just right up my alley! :-)
Sweet, more stuff like this coming!
Finally i understand why Jack Daniels is not a bourbon but a whiskey.Thank you
You are very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I have a few more Bourbon 101 videos in the pipeline! Welcome to the channel!
Jack Daniel’s chooses not to call itself bourbon, but the historic brand applies for federal label approval under the class of bourbon and Tennessee whiskey is listed as straight bourbon in the North American Free Trade Agreement. And if you actually pull a high ranking Jack member aside and really push them on it, they will confirm that “technically” it is a bourbon.
"Technically" yes it's a bourbon. They chose to fight for the right to call it Tennessee Whiskey which is odd but hey their choice. Some people like to state it's not a bourbon based on the filtering process.
Even though I'm not a drinker, it is very interesting how meticulous they are with making it. Good video : )
It means a lot man! Im glad you liked the video. Its crazy all the stuff you learn in kentucky.
Very interesting stuff dude, I never knew there was a difference before. You learn something new everyday!
Glad I could teach you something new! There is so many more things for me to teach everyone!

Corn good....rye bad!!!! Learned so much on this dude. Very interesting! Can feel your passion and knowledge man. Thanks for sharing.
Im glad I was able to teach you something man. Its a huge passion of mine. :)
While WT isn't my top bourbon choice it's not a terrible product.

Bulleit was my first Bourbon. I really enjoyed it in cocktails! The flavour stands out with the high rye content. Very informative video btw!
I really appreciate that! I'm glad you found the video and the channel. If you have any suggestions or request let me know.
@@BeerBourbonandGames Sure!
Awesome video dude ! Had no idea how much go's into it. I now know what kind of drink puts hair on my chest lol !
Make sure your Cousin gets some too. Dont want to be the only one with a hairy chest :P
Bourbon is fascinating, im glad I could show you something new.
I have a son-in-law and a friend theat enjoy bourbon. I just wanted to learn about it. This was very helpful.
I am glad you found the information helpful. Are there any other questions you would love to see answered in a future video?
Damn man. Really good video thank you.
Thank you very much! I appreciate the kind words.
Great video
Thank you! I hope you found it to be informative. I have a new idea for the 4th in the series.
There are quite a few bottles of Jacob's Ghost at both of the liquor stores I work at. Great video!
Omg you still have some? I need it!
I'm sure we can figure something out :)
When investigating Scotch whiskey I learned to try the classic single malts. It's a nice reference point for trying various others. I was wondering if there was a similar system for bourbon
I would honestly recommend starting with the lowest proof possible which is 80 and look for a nice 4 year aged. This will give you a baseline of what the traditional notes are. From there it will only get more complex. Hopefully that makes sense.
Jim Beam white is an excellent base line that is very affordable.
WT 101 only. This stuff unlocks parts of me that people seem to enjoy a lot. And I don’t need more than 2 shots. I know all alcohol is alcohol but idk. Bourbon is diff to me. Cause I don’t really like any other kinds of drinks.
Last time I had 3 I jumped on my bike then whacked my funny bone on a pole going Mach Jesus. Made it home and dropped her 4 times. Crushed my pinky and was launched into other parked cars before I could get the kickstand down in time.
Walked around the parking lot cussing Joe Biden, then destroyed most of the glass in my condo out of anger. Went back outside, Called someone a fuck face and took his phone, called a ride, (gave it back) got to the ER and the guard wouldn’t push the handicap button for me…after gesturing with no luck I just yanked it open and screamed in pain…He got mad and we started screaming at eachother…2 shots is good. My elbow and forearm was…well they stopped counting at 5 fractures.
Also have generations of a wildness, most of my family was lynched in various saloons and jail cells by the law and feuding families. We were slandered tho 150 years ago. My grandmother buried my 30y old grandfather while she was 8m pregnant dragged him home with 21 gun shots. He had a war and a massacre named after him, so theirs a false grave and a secret one. Intense story. You’d prob hate it.
Best of wishes.

Hello, very informative video. Really enjoyed watching it and learning a few things I didn't know. We subscribed to your channel, let's stay connected. Thanks for sharing!
Welcome to the channel and thanks for checking out the video. Glad you enjoyed the content! Apperciate the kind words.
Thanks for the great intro to bourbon. Can you post a video on how you choose a new bourbon when looking at the shelf? Also what are your top three Bourbons for under $50?
Great suggestion! That would make awesome video.
My top under 50 (if you can find them)
1 - Eagle Rare
2 - Knob Creek
3 - Evan Williams
There is so much I don’t know about my favorite liquor! Awesome vid, man
Oh man bourbon is your favorite? Thats freaking awesome. Have you found the best channel ever then lol! Wish i had footage from my Kentucky trip.
Well, whiskey in general. But now I know a lot more about the subset of bourbon lol
@@BlackSheepVidya since your a whiskey guy my next review is up your alley. Its a very interesting one and tastes like dessert.
Beer Bourbon and Games ahem whiskey GAL, Chill hates whiskey lol. I’ll def check it out!
@@BlackSheepVidya oh im sorry I assumed chill. Never know when there is too of you lol. The vid should come out next week! We gotta get chill more manly and like whiskey lol
Very good video, except for one very minor detail. The requirements state the distillate must be aged in new charred oak barrels. It does not specify white oak, although I don't know of any distiller that uses any other kind of oak.
That is true. It only says charred however pretty much is always white oak so i went with the common theme to help newbies. I apperciate you checking out the video!
Excellent video. Vey informative.
Production note: Less space above your head in the frame, and try to get the lighting a little better. I only suggest this because you are REALLY good at explaining all of this and you are engaging. Any visual improvements in framing and lighting will only help you get more views. Great work, I will subscribe!
Thank you very much for your video. It was very informative. I have always hated whiskey all my life until 2 things happened: I got Covid, which changed my nose and sense of taste, and now I've gone on a no carb diet. Goodbye beer. Hello Whiskey. A friend recommended Woodford Reserve, which to my surprise was excellent. Now I'm curious about all things whiskey. What the heck is bourbon? I wonder if I might like Scotch. etc. So THANK YOU!
You’re very welcome. My channel has a bunch of bourbon reviews I think you’ll love!
Thanks for the information on bourbon. can it expire or go bad? I remember growing up, my dad used to recieve a bottle of liquor every Christmas from the people he work with. Because he does not drink, these bottles become collector’s item in our house. We had “unopened” bottles of Jack Daniel, Evan Williams, Crown Royal, Remy, Volka etc. and kept them for at least 25 -30 years before we lost them all to the flood. I often wonder how much those bottles would have worth if the flood did not happen and we keep them for 40 years. Would it have gone bad despite it is unopened?
Good video - one correction however -JD does not age in used bourbon barrels. They make and char them all on site 😉
Clyde May's Alabama Bourbon
AYYEEE FELLO PENNSYLVANIAN WE LOVE TROGUES
Hey welcome to the channel! Glad you found my slice of the internet. Troegs has a fantastic line up of beer and their location is massive!
Bulleit is my fav
Bulleit has a dominant eucalyptus note, then comes vanilla, then orange citrus. After 5 or 6 sips I notice a faint astringent light tobacco note at the very end of the finish.
Just started a job that is basically for bourbon enthusiasts .. I've only ever put Vodka, Malibu, or Jack Daniels in my coke. Do you have a video on basic terms or common vocabulary used for bourbon? It's a whole new world for me but this taught me WAY more than what I previously knew, so thank you.
You are very welcome. If this helped I highly recommend checking out my other Bourbon 101 videos. I have some really good content that would help you. A video of straight up terms I don't have, however thank you for the video idea. Subscribe to the channel to get notifications on my videos cause I will definitely make that.
@@BeerBourbonandGames awesome thanks
I have never had bourbon yet. I just today bought a bottle of wild turkey and this evening I'm going to try it.
Let me know what you think of it!
@@BeerBourbonandGames I...I think I like it. I'm taking it neat and making it last. I'm just starting my adventure into alcohol, and this is my third non-beer alcohol I have tried, and It may be my favorite so far.
@@americanmichigander awesome man! Is it the standard or 101 wild turkey? If you have any questions or video suggestions let me know. Im glad you found the channel! Welcome to the community.
@@BeerBourbonandGames the 101. A video idea could an introduction to different alcohols and how to drink them. I spent an embarrassingly long time googling how much I should pour myself because I know nothing. I'm glad that I didn't pour myself a glass full.
@@americanmichigander that's a good idea. I'd highly recommend checking out my other 101 videos and I'll definitely make that idea into videos.
New bourbon drinker. Buffalo Trace neat, splash of water for me.
Buffalo Trace is a great bourbon! If you can find it Eagle Rare from them as well as Blanton's are fantastic.
Beer Bourbon and Games Blantons is absolutely fantastic! Just a little out of my price range
@@Rizalini what is your price range and state you live in. I could recommend some good ones for you.
Beer Bourbon and Games I'd like to stay in the $30-$40 range. I live in Las Vegas
Just came across your channel. How close are you to Troegs, I'm about 45 min away.
I am about 45 minutes as well.
I’m about 5 minutes away! Let me know if you guys are ever in the area!
For sure we could set up something! You should join my fb group and follow on Instagram too so you know where and when I'm heading somewhere.
A newcomer to bourbon. We don't have so many choices in Europe, so can you recommend some "smoother" bottles please (more corn I guess). Thanks.
I will need to do some research to see whats available in your area. What area of Europe are you in?
@@BeerBourbonandGames In Brussels. I have 2 or 3 sites which are helpful. I am looking for some "mellow" tasting; I have Blanrons and Buffalo Trace, Woodford Reserve.
I forgot to say, a Brit in Europe. raised with Scotch whisky. Thanks for the reply.
@@familyplummer6812 I love scotch. What's your go to? Ardbeg is my favorite
@@BeerBourbonandGames I like Cardhu, Singleton and a selection of whiskies from the Isle of Arran.
We have a whisky tasting club down the road from me... but we never have bourbon it's always scotch and Irish whiskeys...
Well now you must request they step up thier game and get you some bourbon. Then impress them with all your knowledge!
@@BeerBourbonandGames hahaha I'll be like too much rye!!!...
@@ButtonBashers Dammit bartend I said I wanted a single cask 4 year neat and this is what you bring me lol
So bourbon is America’s special drink. Like the French have absinthe. The Belgian’s have Beer. And the English Gin.
Correct. Similar to how scotch is only from Scotland or canadian whiskey from Canada etc.
Three questions! 1. How many years are usually aged this bourbons? 2. Why the barrels are used just 1 time? 3. Is bulleit good bourbon? I recently saw bulleit rye so according to your explanation is a rye wiskey but not a bourbon 🤯
1- Bourbons can range quite a bit in age but the minimum is 2. Most of the consumer lever stuff that people gravitate towards are the 4 to 8 year old with an occasional 10 to 12 year here and there. The longer they age the more the flavor and character develop. I typically recommend people get 8 year Bourbons it's a good thing to shoot for.
2- The barrels only being used once is part of the bourbon laws that were written. They can reuse them in other ways and honestly used barrels is a huge industry right now. However for bourbon it has to be new.
3 - Correct the Bulleit Rye would be a whiskey. They do also have many Bourbon offerings as well.
We also burn those barrels to cook with.
That is an awesome use for them, great flavors. I know making tobassco in them is very big too.
Great video, really informative and practical.
On a separate note .. that white background isn’t the best imo.
Thank you for the comment and watching the video. I have since changed the background. This was a old video.
W.O.W.
Is that a good wow?
Scotch mash bill is different than bourbon
Correct, this video only focuses on bourbon which Scotch is not.
Is bourbon whiskey good for diabes?
From hershey??
I'm near the Lancaster area.
@@BeerBourbonandGames awesome...im from schuylkill haven...where is the best places to get good bourbon??...my local stores stink
@@travisk5820 I scour the wine and spirits stores to see what they get in. I've found a lot of great stuff at total wine in delaware though.
Char times a little off
Sorry, I wanted to say diabetes
