Drinking whiskey is a lot like kick-boxing. Sure, you may get punched in the face a few times, maybe even a mild concussion. IT’S PAINFUL BUT I STILL ENJOY IT.
Your excruciating liquor grimace is still one of the best things about Try Channel.
Never change m'dear!
You're a definite trouper 😀
Add a bit of water to it for a Bourbon and Branch (water). It cuts the sting down and mellows out the taste. A touch of water (not a lot) helps any type of whisk(e)y to open up the flavors. Sláinte!
If you drink on a more regular basis, it'll stop hurting eventually. 😉
Elijah Craig was an actual person who started his distillery in Georgetown, KY around 1789. He is known as the Father of Bourbon.
He was also a Baptist minister so God bless him.
@rolemodlin that's right! He also built a paper mill. So he could make paper from which the Bible could be printed...and give sermons on the Holy Spirit while distilling his own spirits. 😂
Elijah Craig is an actual distiller. Originally from Scotland, he found land in KY that had limestone spring water and began distilling spirits. It’s because of Craig barrels are charred for flavor during the aging process and he is known for being the first distiller to use glass bottles for his spirits. Truly considered the grandfather of bourbon.
I don't know which one I had, but it was 118 proof, but it was smooth at the same time
@@mikecofojohn168the barrels were originally not charred but his barn caught on fire and charred the barrels but they didn’t burn completely up. Later he sold the whisky out of those barrels and people loved them. That became the go to from that accident.
Aidan was on fire with his 'throwaway' comments today! "Find out next week, on Irish people TRY the Irish healthcare system!"
Nice to see that after all these years Lolsy still holds alcohol in her mouth. Never change
The "warming" in your chest from a Kentucky Straight Bourbon" is known as the "Kentucky hug"
Man I wish that was the welcome I got with my first Bourbon... Instead I got sick because of the flavor alone (tasted like dead bugs in dirty bath water).
I was sick for a couple days and couldn't eat anything. lol
@@Moebz818 you gotta find yourself some quality bourbon my friend. We've all had our youthful indiscretions with cheap booze, but hopefully we mature to appreciate silkier and flavorful expressions. 😁
As a proud Kentuckian with Irish heritage (Mother's side), it warms my heart that ya'll are getting to experience some of the best whiskey on earth. Salutations and God bless.
As a child and I was stuffed up, my mom would heat up some lemonade and then added some whiskey. Then we had to drink it as quickly as possible. cleared you right up.
Same here! My father used whiskey but mixed it with Honey and lemon.
"Mommy cough medicine" nods. Loved that part of getting sick when I was little! Honey and lemon too.
@@ekramer2478 sounds like the 'hot toddy' i would get when i was sick too!
I still drink these. I keep a "mix" in my refrigerator. Take a shot glass full as needed. Way better than store bought cough medicine.
@@ChristopherForte-uh3gc Oh yes! :)
I live in America, I do have horses on my property, I do have 3 bottles of Elijia Craig on my shelf. I have the Toasted Barrel Bourbon, the Toasted Barrel Rye, and the Private Barrel Barrel Proof. The Toasted Barrel Bourbon is my favorite of the 3 but they are all very nice.
You guys were so correct about using whiskey for medicine, it used to be prescribed for several ailments back in the day
I still prescribe it for myself. Touch of a cold? Whiskey. Rash? Whiskey. Stubbed toe? Whiskey. Bad mood? Whiskey. Good mood? Whiskey. It's quite the versatile remedy.
my family referred to it as "Grandpappy's Cough Medicine".... my great grandfather, and his father, and a few others were moonshiners in the day!
I mean, so was cocaine.
@ Bastard government, always stashing away all the stuff that actually makes you feel better.
Darren and Clisare on the same panel. . . Good pair. Also Paddy & Seán. Well Done
By far the best bourbon you can get for $25 a bottle. I love it.
Lolsy and her RYE smile.
Thank you for serving in sipping glasses instead of shot glasses.
Glencairns.
@@MrScottsearles Gesundheit.
I was in Kentucky this summer and took the bourbon tasting tour at the Elijah Craig distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky. Really good bourbons .
Didn't expect a bit of Try Peaks today, nor anyone on a bloody tricycle goin' backwards down the motorway! You folks never fail to surprise and delight me. Thanks and slainte!
yall are the ones that got me into whiskey as well, and now I have around 45 bottles and a ton of whiskey friends. Really owe yall for that tbh, it's changed my life drastically.
Seeing them react to 47%, knowing what's coming. 😂 Elijah Craig is a standard in my cabinet, especially the barrel proof.
I try to grab as many of the barrel proof releases as I can (usually more than one of each), the A120 at 136.6 proof is the highest proof and a great bottle but I think the 124.6 Pennsylvania barrel pick is likely my favorite.
for barrel proof, I'm a big fan of Booker's.... Baker's ain't shabby either. Not a Beam fan, but their small batch stuff is nummy!
@ I’ve become more of a Beam fan in recent years. I have several Booker’s batches and my bottle of Baker’s 13 was wonderful. I like the 7 as well and it’s holding its price down.
"Burney-Stingey" was the name of my band in college! 😮
Remember to add a little water before you taste to 'open up' the fragrance and flavor. It really makes a difference😃
Thank you Lolsy, Aidan, Clizare, Darren, Sean and Paddy for enjoying drinks that I'm highly unlikely to ever taste!
@@kohashiguchi1454 why? Where are you?
I had to give up alcohol myself.
High shelf bourbon - nice choices.
🙂
A little while back, there was this show called Turn about spies during the revolutionary war that lived on Long Island. I guess because Elijah Craig is from that time period and the bottle always reminds me of an old bottle, I got it in my head that I needed to watch that show while drinking this bourbon. So for every episode I'd get out the snifter glass and get good and toasty while I made my way through the series drinking Elijah Craig. Good times.
"Having a good time"? Lol I'm Dying here. 🤣
My favorite EC Bourbon is the Toasted Barrel. Soooo delicious and smooth
Just a reminder that there are different types of Durian Alcohol...and plenty of recipes for mixes! The next Durian challenger awaits. Ruining alcohol...durian style! (And of course, the Queen of Durian should be invited.)
You are an evil evil person. I can't wait for the video. 😁
on a tricycle going backwards on the motorway. That is an instant classic
My favorite folks sipping my favorite drink! Best Monday ever!
Craig was a Baptist preacher, educator, and entrepreneur who founded a distillery in Fayette County, Virginia
Elijah Craig was a great choice to do an episode on! Sounds like you've converted a couple of the tasters to bourbon. Great episode!
Ah, Lolsy's rye smile was the best. Adorable.
It’s a staple on our shelf. ❤
I live within two hours of this distillery. Elijah Craig bourbon is made in Kentucky at the Heaven Hill Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky. The company's headquarters are in Bardstown, Kentucky.
As a Kentuckian, may I say, "You're welcome."
Oh yeah! This was a good one! The All-Stars of TRYers trying good Kentucky Bourbon!
out of all the whiskeys i love the bourbon! caramel, vanilla, oak is just amazing!
oh and bourbon its a stringent process on what's in it and how is done!
thanks for this one! I was always hesitant about trying it
Tell me they got to try some Barrel Proof!!! Elijah Craig is my jam! When I sold booze I'd always give Elijah Craig to bourbon/rye newcomers. Never had a single complaint.
Keep watching 😉
B522 was a solid batch of Barrel Proof. No A118, but that was an exceptional batch. I have a few dozen different Barrel Proofs in my collection, ranging from 8 years to 13, and varying proofs over 118.
Same
@@DJMarcO138 I was a huge fan of Crown's Cask 16. How does this compare?
No, I cannot believe that anyone so Irish as to be named "Paddy Murphy" never had whiskey before appearing on TRY (though wasn't he on the previous channel, too? Been so long now...). Hell, I have trouble believing he didn't have whiskey before his 10th birthday thanks to Ireland's long-standing stereotypes. :P
I like Evan Williams - made at the same distillery (Heaven Hill) for mixing. The Elijah Craig small batch is a treat, and the 18 year old especially so.
Sipping Evan Williams mixed with coke zero right now. A great utility bourbon that doesnt break the bank.
Nice to see you guys try a quality brand for once. Lol
Just shared this video with the British Bourbon Society...I think they'll find it funny and enjoy it! (I enjoy both the bourbon and rye)
Best quotes from this episode " Jesus Christ that'll put hairs on yer arse and Lolsy's '' Jesus Christ on a tricycle going backwards up the motorway !
Elijah Craig is my go to drink, I am so glad that you loved it.
Closing out with a seriously good “That accent” is really funny
Excellent choice, top shelf bourbon.
Cheers from Kentucky!
I forgot to mention, EC uses wood and real cork stoppers. Quality right there!
Elijah Craig is one of my favorites. It's one of the brands of the Heaven Hill Distillery and I like all the Heaven Hill brands that I've tried.
Elijah Craig (1738-1808) was a Baptist preacher, educator, and entrepreneur who is sometimes called the "Father of Bourbon". He was born in Orange County, Virginia and moved to Kentucky in 1782.
I believe "Kentucky" was still just a county of Virginia at that time. Didn't become a state for another 10 years.
My old Kentucky home!! 💙🤍
Grew up in Louisville, so sparse, My Old Kentucky Home it was. Left KY in 1989 after graduating from U of L...best thing I ever did!
Try'rs, y'all rock! ❤😂 Peace 🤘 🍻 💨
2 parts Canadian Maple syrup
2 parts lemon or lime
2 parts Elijah Craig
Whisky sour ❤
Sounds delicious!!
From making shine when the hearts start to come over it’s 140ish proof. So it goes from the still into the barrel at that strength. Then when the aging is over they add water to make it bottle strength 80 proof.
Would love to have seen Dermot, Martin, and Justine in this bourbon shoot
When i was drinking, EC was one of my top favorites. Probably one of the best for the price
Elijah Craig is a good brand. It's one of my three go-to cocktail bourbons.
Thrilled to see a proper barrel proof in there. Still thinking about what else you all can try. So many options. But how many can you guys actually source? Hmmm
Elijah Craig was a real person....and a preacher! I really enjoy the flavor.
Lexington, KY here. Haven't had EC in a while, but I know I enjoyed it.
9:39 add a little honey and warm it up just a bit and you have a hot toddy, it’s a remedy from old wives tales. I had it & gave it to my kids. I would also freeze a dish clothe with a corner soaked in bourbon and give my kids while they were teething. It’s a cure all bourbon is. ❤
A dram of Elijah Craig paired with a gram of Sour Diesel -- best way to end any day!
Barrel proofs are wonderful. They usually pick the best barrels for that, and each barrel is a bit different.
Love Elijah Craig.
LOVE Elijah Craig! They have a toasted rye that is delightful.
My absolute favorite bourbon.
One of my favorites!
Came here to watch people drink bourbon saw a Tigers Jaw shirt, colour me surprised
Aidan absolutely cracks me up!!!!! He is hilarious!
EC is my go-to bourbon. Excellent stuff.
In my experience, I always like a barrel proof whiskey more. It’s not about percentage. There are simply more flavors that I like.
A splash of water will tame the heat; oddly, it doesn't really dilute the flavor---seems to enhance it.
Miss seeing content from Darrens channel...
I second that! He must be busy???
I want to be on an episode called "Irish People Try to teach Americans Irish."
Be even more entertaining if both of the above were also drinking bourbon at the time.
If Lolsy would tell me where I can get those dungarees that would be awesome 😂
i need Darren to collab with Brewzle
When we used to lose a tooth we used to rub whiskey on the gum where it came out ...
It's my house bourbon! Let's goo!
Green label for rye is definitely the convention in the States.
When Darren was talking bourbon vs rye I wanted the World of Whiskey glasses
Is Elijah Craig what happens when Elijah Wood and Daniel Craig do the Fusion Dance? Or put on the Potara earrings?
I can’t answer that but now I want Elijah Wood and Daniel Craig to do a movie together. It might be two hours of them drinking Elijah Craig by the fire but I will watch that movie….
The pediatrician definitely told me to dip my finger in either whiskey or bourbon and rub on my babies gums when they were teething 🤣 it definitely helped... FYI also helped with grandchildrens teething
I remember that being done when I was a kid
I think I remember my grandmother saying she used to dip a washcloth in whiskey and then have the teething baby suck on it -- chewing on the washcloth was also soothing to their gums.
I have not had that one.. I'm intrigued. I'm partial to rye myself. My favorite, so far, has a similar bottle but with a longer neck.. Angel's Envy, aged in rum casks.. yep, that's my after dinner drink tonight.. she says as her mouth waters a little.
You should come to Kentucky and do the bourbon trail . It's a series of distilleries you can tour .
I’m haven’t watched yet but WE NEEEEED BARREL PROOF BOURBON 🙏
Lets goooo yall got it 🫵💜💜
Great episode ❤
Elijah Craig is INFINITELY better with a Montecristo Cigar.
love try drinking videos
I had just Poured an Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel before I found this video. Spooky.
Try the Jim Beam family of bourbons. Knob Creek, Basil Hayden, Bakers and Bookers.
They're all excellent bourbons....
10:28 This will sound weird, but whispering is very hard on your voice over time. Voice actors and singers try to avoid whispering as much as possible. But with Elijah Craig, you'll never feel the strain happening!
Rye seed is green.
You ladies are looking very pretty today and the gentlemen are looking fine too. I love your videos so much I watch them with my husband. He gets a kick out of Lolsy when she doesn't like something.
My fav. Best Bourbon for the money out there.
I drank a glass of Elijah Craig barrel proof while watching this.
HAHAH 9:30 I also own horses in Florida.
I like to mix the Ryes into something like an old fashioned.
Several years ago, I got to taste a bottle of Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch 11 139 Proof.
There's not enough "O" in Smooth, to describe it.
"Her wry smile"
i had to google several things. thanks
indeed, bourbon is only made in america. 95% of all bourbon is made in Kentucky. then i wondered why bourbon street was in new orleans and it has nothing to do with alcohol.
You drink Bourbon, I click "Like". I enjoyed some Elijah Craig Barrel Proof with you, a 129 proofer. Yes, it's dangerous. It's so damned tasty. If you're in a drinkin' mood, best to take it easy on these high proofers or regret will follow.
4:39 the green label tradition started on account of rye grain having a green hue
I'd like to see you all try Basil Hayden's selection of whiskeys!!
