    The second barrel finishes are here to stay! Sad to see Woodford Double Oaked didn’t make the cut for this group. Great job as always

      Yeah - we'll need to do a second round with the Woodford!

      I've never had any of these, but I love having that Woodford in my collection. I was just about to ask how these might compare to the Woodford.

      Found Woodford Double Oak to be pretty boring to my palate. Picked up a bottle at retail a year to 18 months ago. Has it changed at all?

    • @traubgator
      @traubgator 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      agree - do it again, and drop Jefferson's add woodford. love me some double oaked, and store pick double oaked can even be better. I've just heard so many negative things in general about Jefferson's, i've never even tasted it or bought a bottle. I wish i could get my hand on some Michters, because 1910 and double oaked is my jam!

    "Four whiskeys kinda blow out the palate..."
    Definitely agree. I have to wonder how legit Fred Minnick's blinds are when he's rolling through 20 or more different bottles.

    I too would have liked woodford DO in group..but I just opened a 1910 and loving it.
    Dutch, I too blend by adding toasted to other untrusted drams. Makes most things richer.

  • @johncannon3593
    @johncannon3593 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am a HUGE fan of 1910, and I'm not at all surprised. For those wishing Woodford DO was in the mix, well, it's not a toasted barrel, but even if we go with re-barreled, as a category, it doesn't stand up to the 1910. Don't get me wrong, I REALLY LIKE the Woodford, but it is kind of a one-trick pony with its pancakes and maple syrup, whereas the 1910 has far more complexity. Try it once and get bananas Foster, try it again and experience the espresso and dark chocolate notes. In all honesty, even though it may be blasphemy in the bourbon world, I reach for 1910 more often than 1920 (both of which have a permanent place on my bar). 1910 for the win.

  • @jasoncoates1835
    @jasoncoates1835 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Nice timing boys, I did the same thing last week except sub Woodford DO (a "pick" in my case) for the Jefferson's. Interesting comparison, some very different notes across the bottles and some that are present in all 4. 1910 was definitely the outlier of the bunch in terms of profile, maybe because that second barrel is charred far deeper than the other 3?

    Nice show! New to bourbon/ whiskey/ scotch in the last two months. I have about forty bottles so far (went all in) I really like the 1910 and I have picked it out of the whiskey tubers videos by the dark rich color almost every time! Love your channel, new subscriber! Really like the drink through videos!

    Great content again guys. I agree with Tyler A that Woodford Double should have been in this flight. BTW, the 1910 isn't always available around me, but it is getting better.

  • @generynkewicz4871
    @generynkewicz4871 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    1910 is one of my favorites. Tried woodford double oaked and didn't care for it . I also really like the 1920. My splurge whiskey is joseph Magnus, and my favorite bourbo.

    Nice review, would like additional info on the process of making toasted oak products and why you decided to do this review ( other than revenge ). New process, growing market trend, typical category flavors notes compared to traditional bourbons, etc.

  • @victorsommo1822

    There should be more Toasted Barrel choices out there, they do have a big cult following. I never had Elijah but do love 1910 and WFDO. Cheers as always.

  • @ruhrohraggy125

    Interested to see Woodford DO included like others... others might be interested to hear about the difference between 1910 and DO, light toast/heavy char vs heavy toast/light char. I really like both but think I've only recently discovered I like more toast, i.e. the DO. The 1910 has similar caramel but it's more of a burnt caramel because of the extra char I think

    1910 is in my top 3! Hated the EC toasted-a burnt flavor to me. 🤷‍♂️ Haven't seen a Michter's. Not much interest in the Jeffersons as I like the old version but find it thin.

    Excellent review, I am happy to say that I am about 3/4 done with my bottle of 1910! Question now, is do I dive into my Woodford double Oak or do I go pick up another bottle of 1910! I think I am a winner either way..😂

    When I saw the Mitchers I was a little upset that you included a unicorn. But I will give you thumbs up because the bundle I purchased at Costco fo $59.99 which included a 750 ml of OF 100 proof won.

    Blind tasting is always the best way as confirmation bias is taken out of the equation. Marketing wank and visual cues are removed and the taste has to stand up on its own.
