Just opened a bottle of Old Tub a week ago. And I absolutely love it. People talk about nutty profiles but this is crazy. Like drinking peanut butter. Absolutely love it.
I mean, with Rebel 100 and CK SmB on the list, this whole thing is invalid.
Also calumet 8 isn't bad id say if it was around 40 it be better value maybe he is okay being wrong
I actually like Old Tub, but I also like a lot of the stuff people say are "too nutty." I'm not sure I'd buy a lot of it at $25, but I always grab one when I see it on sale around here for $17.
KY Tavern beats it by a mile (albeit, a short mile) Not even a discussion IMHO
Thanks for the video and the warnings. We need more warnings like these as the prices (inexplicably) skyrocket.
You have a way with words my friend. Tastes like a pair of Reebok sneakers got stuck in a storm drain for the winter next to the pig farm 🤣
Tennesucky still sits in liquor stores glass cabinets..I made that mistake last summer , most expensive drain pour after I let it open up to get better (it didn't)
Coming with the FIRE baby! Appreciate the honesty. With rising Bourbon prices making purchasing mistakes hurts more than ever.
There are many, fantastic & readily available bourbons. You down with the Wilderness Trail?
Great list and HIGHLY entertaining!! I have to say, however, that for $25 I actually dig Old Tub. But as you said, I’m allowed to be wrong every now and then.
Agreed, good stuff
@@JMo-uh5cd I would also preemptively add (since Matt doesn’t appear to have tried it yet) Widow Jane Rye - Applewood Aged. For $50, it’s just not great.
Yeah, I'm surprised Old Tub is on here. Once it's opened up, it's quite good for a $20 bottle.
It's a little hot
JW Dant, JTS Brown. Save your 10$, its not even a close comparison.
Love this video! Truth bombs, venting, weight loss, and sick burns. 🥃👍
I would have loved to see you do a blind tasting with all of these (minus the Elijah Craig) and one bourbon you think is "good."
That was a necessary ,hilarious and informative review. Really you probably didn't really need to say anything that look when you tasted the rare stash said it all , but you never fail to make me laugh so glad for your commentary.
Hey Matt! You should combine all those duds into a blend, but not to make a better bourbon, but to make an even worse one! Then see if that sucks more than the worse bourbon you ever had. Could be a fun vid
Oooo yeah I like this concept. Maybe a video to see if you can make different combinations to find a winner
But who is gunna drink it?
@@markalbert7756 Have Dan and Sean over and don't tell them.
Elijah Craig toasted barrel is actually very good for the proof. It is hyped much more than it should be and obviously if it ain’t your thing it ain’t your thing but most people really do enjoy it. If you haven’t tried it I would suggest doing so and find out for yourself. If you’re considering buying it don’t pay more than retail.
I always feel like Basil Hayden’s bust on OGD 114 whispers “Idiot” when I walk by with a bad, overpriced bottle.
Ah Matt, I haven’t disagreed with you much but will have to say Old Tub is on my list of top value bourbons. Always on my shelf. Great in cocktails or neat.
I agree. However I do enjoy Ardbeg, Oban and other smokey Scotches. Old Tub is nothing like these but the flavor is incredible one of my favorites to make Old Fashions.
This channel is a god-send. Every video has such solid production quality and your reviews are ACTUALLY reviews. They’re thorough,
detailed, funny and actually give me a sense of what I can expect from a whiskey. Unlike other whiskey “reviews” that mention like 2 notes on the nose and palette then talk about other irrelevant shit.
Instantly subscribed and I look forward to more content. Finally a whiskey channel that doesn’t BS around and is ACTUALLY entertaining than all other unoriginal duos that try to imitate the Whiskey Vault folks.
I appreciate you. Cheers
I'm surprised that Tabasco Dickel bottle didn't make the list...that was genius watching you destroy it in the old video!! Keep up the great work!
Dickel Tabasco is actually great wtf are you talking about
One of the most entertaining and useful videos I have seen! Thank you!
I love me some ectb! I just think it’s not for people who don’t like toasted barrel bourbons. Don’t let this review turn you off of it if you find it in your area for a good price and you enjoy toasted barrels whiskey.👍🏽
"Stuck in a storm drain... next to a pig farm." Oh yuck, somehow the best and worst bourbon description I've ever heard at the same time. And I'm not an economgist either... WTWT strikes again!
We are still waiting for the Karissa and Tequila live stream. I've had Old Tub...got it as a gift and felt obligated to drink it. It was rough but I finished the bottle. Never again!!
Another great video! Thanks for the honest reviews, and helping us to not send our hard earned money on bad bourbon
Love this Matt! I share the same dislike for Smooth Ambler’s Big Level wheated bourbon. It was a big mistake on a couple levels. I couldn’t even give it away. I enjoy their other offerings however.
That "Kenessucky" drop. Excellent.
Loved the video, always entertaining and informative. I do like the Rebel 10yr and the Rebel Cask. Keep up the great work.
I usually skip past the Shaker and Spoon ads, but that was a fucking masterpiece.
Bravo, Matt.
Was looking & waiting for dickel Tabasco 😂, when u send your ecbp to your #1 patron “greeze”, put calumet 8 in the ecbp bottle for a lil fun 😊
Great video (like you never heard that before). Thanks for the tip on the Rebel 100. I bought a bottle a year ago on a few recommendations for being an alright inexpensive mixer bourbon. I think I'll take it on an upcoming road trip and finish it in a jiffy. I've bought Old Tub BIB a couple of times for a mixer for 18.99 here in So Cal. Not bad at that price it is always finished quickly. So no idea what it tastes like a month later. Cheers.
I love, Love, LOVE your content. Keep it coming!!
“Tennesucky“Holy smokes!
I hit the thumbs-up on the sponsor bit...very funny.
Heaven Hill 7 year BiB and Kentucky Owl Wiseman Bourbon should be added to this list
Great list buddy!
Totally agree on most of these.
I still love your Tennesucky wording for Sweetens Cove.
I hadn't seem a lot of people review the new bottle style of the Calumet Small Batch before you. I almost bought it because they made it look like the 14/15/16 bottles, but something about the fact that they disguised it turned me off.
Try Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel on the rocks. I honestly wasn’t that big of a fan neat, but on the rocks it rocks! Ymmv of course😆
Oh man, hilarious. Well done, enjoyed the entire vid.
I’m glad castle and key were out of bourbon when I visited. Their gin is very good. Maybe they should stick to what they do best.
Great video. I’m glad you got that off your chest. We all need to do that now and then! 🤣
I didnt like Elijah toasted barrel either but heard that if you decant it it is amazing so I decanted my bottle and it is 100% true! Night and day difference. The youthful grain notes dissapeared and it rounded out. Turned into something beautiful that I would buy again.
Thanks Ab, I tried it once and sat it on the shelf waaay in back. I'll try your method to save it.
Nice. Hope that saves mine. Not my jam either. Just bitter, but not like glorious espresso bitter.
@@leeknowlton7303 replying too follow
Gave it a shot and decanted back and forth between two bottles, now it's more in line with an Old Forester profile. Definitely helped.
Tennesucky, lol. That was a good one!
So many great lines but Tenessucky takes the cake. Matt, you’re the bomb.
Agreed- for the price it’s a quality bottle. Higher proof so it stands up as a mixer and the heavy cinnamon notes fit my palate.
Let's add Oregon Spirit to this list.
I really enjoy the Sweetens Cove.... Pancakes and maple syrup to me, but I can certainly understand if it doesn't match someone's palette.
The humor here is grand and I've said it before but I'll say it again, Matt saving me money is awesome!
Agree on Old Tub and Rebel 100. I was one and done with them. I'm thanking my lucky stars I avoided all the rest. Tennesucky. Best line ever!
Add Clyde Mays red "wordie" bottle to that list of funk-butter!
Biggest annoying thing for me: people in expensive cars that do not know how to use turn signals!!! What? Was that an option you choose NOT to install? It is a turn signal...which means you are alerting people of your intention to turn. You don't use it after you started the turn...or changed lanes right in front of me (with minimal clearance)...but to let others know AHEAD of time...five seconds at least...that you intend to turn/change lanes. And while I am fuming about that...I hope these same idiots are upside down in debt and have bought every bottle you listed here. Heck, they probably even like them!!!! Great segment Matt...you are spot on with your views! Cheers!
Surprised that the Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel made your list. Is it because it’s not not worth $80? I actually thought it was pretty decent. If you have a bottle that you’d like to give away I’d be more that happy to take it off your hands😊😊
Old Tub is $15 around these parts. 100 Proof, Uncut/Unfiltered Bottled in Bond...it loooks good on the bottle! Alas, I won't buy another even at $15. WT101 is $3 more and so much better.
A lot of whiskeys get passed on after being subjected to the Wild Turkey test.
@@xiamengbaby and they have the gall to also make Rare Breed and ruin everything else.
Great video...like to see more of these lists. 👍
Oh, am I getting your second bottle of ECTB too? Lol
Anyone else watch Matt make that cocktail over and over again?
Only one minor complaint. Wax on bottles. Like why? Hard to remove and looks crappy after you've opened it. Let's all just agree wax should be used for other things like candles and hair removal. Cheers!
Some of my favorite whiskeys use wax, but I agree 100%. It’s so messy - especially the black wax.
Depends who does the wax. Knob Creek does TERRIBLE wax - it just crumbles. Blanton's and Maker's do it okay so it isn't offensive.
Agreed. I got that rare character rye and the wax seal made me want to kill myself.
@@johncannon3593 yeaaaa, agree… but lol, still looks a bit weird! Evan Williams SiB has great wax, but after it’s opened the neck just looks weird to me
I don't want to sound extreme, but whoever does the wax at Tumbling Dice can fuck right off. That is the worst bottle ever. You are going to need tools and a blow torch and you'll probably get hurt trying to open it. The whiskey is good AF though.
Man... I dig that Sweetens Cove. Lol
Si, great content as always!
I agree with you on Rebel; however, ice improves it greatly. It saved me from pouring it down the drain.
Might need to try this
I've only heard of 2 of them on the list. Calumet and Elija Craig
Do what the distillers do, mix them all together and make it really really exclusive small batch extra reserve.
Been subscribed for a few years but I’m here because Sean and Dan said you’re awesome. So I feel compelled to let you know I concur. And my KC12 concurs. 🥃
No fly no buy for sure. Like the Toasted but not the price and love the face after the sip at the end. Cheers brother.
I legit popped over the "Mexico" been waiting for that for awhile now!!!
‘Merica bourbon - only good for reminiscing on a great victory (specifically Worlds Top Whiskey Taster)
What about letting that Calumet air out a bit ?
First time I bought and opened a bottle of Knob Creek I didn't like it at all. Went back to it a week or 2 later and it tasted great. Same happened with 1920.
You should do a bracket of all these, and find the worst of the worst
That sounds like the opposite of fun
Totally agree with Rebel 100. I had a bottle years ago when it was still Rebel Yell that was good. But my recent bottle of Rebel 100 tastes like wet hay.
@5:00 “Comes up with a whiskey that’s not so frisky!”
The ultimate slam was the Connor McGregor comparison….too funny
A lot of people disagree on ECTB. It definitely has a place to enjoy it. Might not be a daily drinker
Old tub is awful. I’m getting rid of mine in cooking and old fashioneds! Recommend that method of dealing with it. But honestly, I love EC Toasted, but I also love toasted finishes. I would have thought that Calumet 8 would have been at least decent.
Very nice. Thank you. (keep hitting the deranged fringe....)
Calumet 10 & up is real good, so yeah 8 is a surprise. Old Tub...I don't see that, the second bottle I've had is 2/3 gone? Maybe @15.99 It makes it palatable?, but then again I use it alot as a mixer Like Evan W. Black. I agree about the celebrity labels try to avoid them, unless I can get a pour first. The only one I liked was Blackened(Metallica)but I got a flask size, so I wouldn't slap my brother if it was terrible. Poor guy ducks everytime I come over with a new pour.
God bless you Sir. Thank you for speaking the truth. I love Peyton, but he should be ashamed of himself.
Glad someone finally said it about the ECTB.
Barrel proof- Fantastic
Toasted barre- NOPE
Elijah Craig Toasted barrel. Lmao! I'm not going to take full credit for the idea for this video but i think i am responsible for at least one bottle! Love your channel!
Old Tub and C&K B1 are my only disagreements. They are definitely different, but I think that's also why I enjoy them more than the standard MGP everything out there. Solid list though, cheers!
My list includes:
Wilderness Trail single barrel
McKenna BiB
"The demand curve is curved towards no" lmaooo
pointed reviews, some might call jabs. thanks for the help with what to avoid.
You da Man Matt! Thank you for your Candor
Tennesucky is the best line ever!
This guy's sense of humor made me subscribe. Very funny
Ooh! This one was spicy! Thanks for the warning. I won’t by a single one of those batches.
I like old tub, matter of fact it's time for a new bottle!
I’m not a Beam fan but I don’t mind the Old Tub. It’s a decent rocks whiskey but there are much better at that price.
The plaque. 😂
You’d think from your hand modeling days you’d have the muscle memory to turn the label towards the camera so it’s readable, but otherwise good video
"Tennesucky" It was worth the watch just for that lol
This is a super fun whiskey channel. It has soul. I’m going to give it a…8.4. Yes an 8.4. This channel rocks my socks. Thank you and keep your eyes on the good things in life.
Matt said TenneSucky.....lol!!!!
Send me your toasted barrel! It’s my jam!
I gave away my Elijah Toasted and poured Castle & Key Batch #2 down the drain
Does that 8 year Calumet deserve another shot after it's opened up some, or is it just so bad that nothing can help it?
No way it gets better
@@ADHDWhiskey Thanks for saving me $50 bucks because I would have been all in on that after having the 14 and 16.
Matt, Savage!! But, a long time in the making. I am not advocating for negative reviews, but people should be more vocal about whiskey that doesn't rate. Tell it like it is. Just be sure to couch the video in a clear cut statement that this is your opinion, and that whiskey reviews are subjective. Cheers!
I like how you inject the rhymes.
I'd add Garrison Bros to this also. Gifted a bottle and I will certainly never buy...or drink..or accept again!
One of your funniest videos. Great job Matt!
I still love Old Tub.😢
Toasted Barrel is one of my favorites. I’m hurt 😢.
