Scotch drinker here that plays a little in the bourbon sandbox, and glad the Laddie made it here because that and the peated 12 yr port charlotte are winners
Can confirm, Port Charlotte slaps and I always have it
Agree both the Laddie and Port Charlotte are great.
Port Charlotte is in my top 5 peated single malts.
Octomore, Dark Arts they have a lot of great stuff
Absolutely great choices here on your list 📃 -- The Classic Laddie is my fav. Islay❤
Kiwi is actually, low key, one of the most underrated fruits. You have to get a sweet one. Don't judge them by the typical underripe sour options at your grocery store. They are great straight up, sliced, on a salad...they have a good amount of vitamin c and k. If you don't want to peel them, just slice it in half, and scoop the content with a spoon.
strange but good it that the peel is edible, you can wash it and it the whole fruit without any hassle
@@alessiosolzi5790 This is how I’ve eaten them for a couple years. Since I watched a friend eat one like an apple. Blew my mind!
Pretty happy to see the love you're giving to 13th colony. Opened my double Oakes last night and loved it. Their southern bourbon is amazing for 35 as well. Especially if you love SWEET bourbon
Bowman single barrel is great stuff . It is NOT at every ABC store in the state. I work in DC and the ABCs do not have the availability right now. 1 within 85 miles of Arlington. I cannot wait to find another bottle again.
Yeah, with everyone talking about Bowman they fly off the shelves now. Might need to make a trip down to Fredericksburg and visit the distillery soon.
If you head to the distillery, bring some friends that don’t love bourbon. They limit you to one bottle per person per day. There is only 1 bottle of JJB in the entire VA ABC system right now. When it releases, it does stick around for a week or so but I wouldn’t be surprised if it suddenly hit the allocated list.
Happy to see the laddie in there!
Great pour. Never go wrong with Sagamore!
Today my wife and I went to lunch at our favorite restaurant and I noticed they had Bruichladdich. Had a neat pour and it was fantastic, so fantastic we stopped at our favorite local liquor store and picked up a bottle. Thank you!!! Hope to be a patron very soon! Cheers 🥃
Nice scotch choice. I just found BBC Origins for $43 at Total Wine. Thanks for the recommendation today and the past review of it.
Haven’t had the bowman single barrel yet, but found the port finish for 39 bucks. Gonna crack it this weekend!
For the 60 buck range of Scotch Balvenie Doublewood and Dalmore 12 year are excellent as well.
Love the Ladde! If you like this try the Bunna 12- great list boys!
Thanks boys. Would love to see this segment at least twice a year, quarterly would be even better without diluting.
Yep, exactly the opposite of hate on that Classic Laddie. It's fantastic. Bunnahabhain 12 is also a fantastic unpeated Islay 🤘
The Bruichladdich Classic Laddie is awesome. Also love the Sagamore’s especially the double oaked!!!
I was able to get a couple of bottles of Very Old Barton 100 proof for $15 a piece, I stocked up and it's legit one of my favorite bourbons out there
So long as papaya is still a fruit, kiwi will never be the worst fruit
5:09 "And if you're in the right states, it's freaking everywhere."
Ahhh, 4 months ago. Those were the days! We were so young and naive then... * *lé sigh* *
I have yet to see a 13th Colony near me, so I may have to try and hunt one of those down. Def like some of the other choices on the list though guys, bravo!
A friend got me the white lable Btown Origins and holy cow does it live up to the hype. Best $50 whiskey I've had in a long time
you had me hooked from the start with that glen flip/drop LMAO. I would love to see a blooper video of bottle drops from "flips gone wrong"....could be a fun short every now and again.
I love the Laddie. Great bottle of scotch. Can also be a springboard into peated scotch.
Just bought a top floor yesterday.. i was a day early from what i wanted which was benchmark full proof. But i got the benchmark top floor for 15$. So i cant complain. But also got a of bib 100 proof which is delicious. And then got the store pick OF sib barrel select 133.2 proof had a neck pour it was hot at first then changed into this sweet banana brown sugar goodness!!!
We absolutely need a compilation of all bottle and glass breaks PLEASE!!!!!!
It has to climax with the tractor tip with the pallet of bottles right?!
LOVE 13th Colony. Every bottle is so good.
Kiwi is a top notch fruit. The Classic Laddie is one of the best intro scotch’s. Will forever have a bottle sitting around. Phenomenal pick good sir
Bardstown Origin finally made it to SoCal a few weeks ago. I finally landed both, Total Wine's have been selling out of them pretty quickly. I can't wait to crack it open.
Dan and Sean, Love the show. Sean, so happy to hear you drink Irish and Scotch. I just recently started buying some Irish and scotch whiskeys. I love my bourbons, but I totally agree, sometimes you need a break...a change from Bourbon. Would love to know which scotch and Irish whiskey you enjoy. Cheers
Love the Classic Laddie, that bottle got me into scotch last year!
I'm buying that Sagamore today.
Just picked up Sagamore rye BiB 2a and for and I can’t wait to see where they go from here distilling their own cause its great
Every Sagamore I've ever purchased has been amazing.
Man I have a good selection at the local stores and Benchmark, Bruichladdich, and Sagamore are the only ones of those I've seen. Bunnahabhain 12 is another great 60ish bottle for scotch that's super crushable.
Great choices.
That single malt is solid and not expensive
Stopped by two Kroger's in Indianapolis this weekend hoping to find Stone Hammer. I was told the distributer has been trying to get more for the past three weeks, and that it goes quickly when it is on the shelves. Picked up a nice bottle of Four Roses Single Barrel for $43 instead. Also saw it for the same price at Total Wine. Found a bottle of Dragon's Milk at Meijer. Had also seen it on the shelves in my local Meijer in Evansville.
I'm so glad you guys mentioned laddie haha 😊 also this whole list was full of bangers
love the list
I love kiwi!!
You guys are right about Top floor!
I'd Add Bushmills 10 to this list... Straight papaya and tropical fruits. Absolute perfect summer whiskey.
I actually really like kiwis! 😅
The Laddie is a good call!!!
I just bought a bottle of barrel proof Elijah Craig A123 and when you said permanent marker, I poured a little bit and that’s all I could smell and taste
I am sorry but John J Bowman isn’t “readily available” unless you go to the distillery. I hit 6 ABC stores and none of them had seen a bottle of John J in months. Bowman Small Batch is readily available but, even in Virginia, John J is a hard to find bottle.
Binny's own label: Clark & Sheffield 90 proof for 12.99 per 750ml right now in Chicago land is BEST value imo. Not young or crafty, so good!. I believe it's literally Barton 1792 SmB. Someone should do a deep dive
Epic intro, just freakin' nailed it (to quote WTWT). BTW, I recently toured the Bowman distillery and the guide said like 4 times "for those of you that have heard rumors, I can assure you that we do NOT get distillate from anyone else, everything we sell we make right here." Not a fan of their new GREEN stickers for single barrel bourbon (Whaaah?).
Hey guys, new to the channel (and bourbon)... just wanted to share some of my go-to’s and favorites. Noble Oak, Basil Hayden, buffalo trace, Elijah craig, Angles envy, heavens door, whistle pig 10 year.(👍🏻👍🏻). I live in PA. Our liquor laws are dumb as hell, so I can only rely on the state stores. Can’t ship here either.
Love the Laddie! Good choice Shawn.
Nice work
I had that Bardtown white label for the first time recently and also thought it was delicious.. $45 by me.
classic laddie awesome , give port charlotte a try same distillery. cheers...
Kiwi is not the worst fruit.
Dan, you’ve gotta peel it first!
Picked up a bottle of John J Bowman Single Barrel LE at Binny’s Liquor Store in Rockford, IL 2 weeks ago for $65.
Love to see the Laddie there - I might have chosen the 12 yr old bunny, but its like 15$ more... Also, the classic laddie bottle is a two stage sticker, you can peel off the white lettering and end up with an ill all teal bottle. Use it for your mouthwash, thank me later!
interesting about price, in NH Bunna 12 and the Laddie are both 60, but they do frequently go on sale, huge Bunna fan here and love when it occasionally goes on sale for 50 :)
Four Roses Small Batch Select!
I'm in on Top Floor, $18 in South Bend and that Bardstown
Id add....Coopers Craft 100 Proof and Blade and Bow since I can find that for 36.
John J Bowman is great, although it's actually getting harder to find in VA. But you can still order it thank God...for now at least.
Kiwi is amazing. Not top 3 like Sean said but very solid
John J sits on the shelf in Virginia about a day. The other 29 days in a month, you can’t find it. Basically allocated.
Problem with Kiwi they are picked too soon and they’re not fit to eat. But get a ripe one and it’s DELICIOUS
No hate on the Classic Laddie. That stuff is wonderful.
Sagamore DO is amazing especially at that price
the classic laddie is outstanding and a cool bottle
Kiwi.....I can do without.
Still have to give Sean a Shoutout for the Early Times Bottled in Bond. Thats good for the price point for a daily.
You guys had to point out that Bowman Single Barrel is everywhere in VA, and now it's become allocated here lol
The Bardstown Origin BiB (black label) is dynamite. I haven't cracked my white label origin bottle yet. I'll be curious to see how it compares to the BiB.
Luca Mariano barrel pick get it if you can find it. Cheers
I don't know how large your UK audience is, but it would be interesting to see your thoughts on the best bourbons available over the pond, on the typical whiskey websites
Other than the classic Laddie, the only bottles available in the UK from this episode are the Sagamore.
Love me some Top Floor!
Better get that 13th colony sour mash while you can... They just announced they just shipped the last of it to distro the other day.
Love the opening scene lol
Top Floor us $19 in Atl. Full Proof will run
$24-$25.
I got the sagamore double oak for 53 is good for a rye.. but i am just not a rye fan.. it is very good for a rye whiskey
looking strung out dan
Golden kiwi is great 👍
Top Floor is 15 bucks here. OF 100 is $17. Been cheaping out this month!
Looks like you have another clip for your new series "Mistakes Were Made." Dan comes in guns a blazin' again. 😂😂😂 A lot of people go to Balvenie Doublewood for a starter whisky. Nice to see you gave them another option.
Bowman right now hard top find in the Single Barrel in Va i was looking for a back up for a while now ... And team Sean Classic Laddie Rules
Is something wrong with Sean, he didn’t put on Wild Turkey Rare Breed 🤣 on the kiwi note - low key best fruit
Sagamore Barrel Strength Store Picks are fuggin hitters!!!!!!!!!
Love that Laddie!!!
Where do you guys find the stone hammer? I've heard you mention it a few times. I never see it where I am in illinois.
I like the bourbon and rye Rare Breeds. Available and generally under $60.
Absolutely! Hard to beat, and surprisingly ALWAYS AVAILABLE.
Just picked up 3 bottles of JJB in VA. The state liquor store thinks it is going allocated soon.
I really need to find those BBC origin series
For me the best readily available whiskies are Old Forester 1910 and 1920 with Rare Breed being just a bit behind those. For bargain sippers it’s Wild Turkey 101 or Evan Williams BIB. Scotch I love me some Talisker 10 as it has some peat to make it interesting but not enough to be overpowering.
This is the correct comment. Could not agree more, brother.
So are you talking about finding in another state below the Mitten, because i haven't seen anything other than reg Benchmark around West MI,
So what is y’all’s favorite 13th Colony out of the four (Rye / Bourbon / Sour Mash / Whiskey) excluding the Double Oak?
Love Bruichladdich!!!
I had Bowman Brothers Small batch about a month ago. Put it on my B tier. Sounds like I need to find the single barrel.
Haha. I hit that like button as soon as that glass broke.
got to go with Grapefruit
If you're looking at non-peated scotch under or around $60, there are so many other options besides the laddie. Here are a few that I would choose over the robbin's egg. Not necessarily in preference order: 1.Bunnahabhain 12 2. Deanston 12 3. Tobermory 12 4. Balblair 12 5. Arran 10. 6. compass box spice tree 7. Glen Garioch 12, 8. any Glenallachie that fits the price, If we can go peated, then 1. Port Charlotte 10 2. Ledaig 10 3. any version of a 10 year-ish independently bottled Caol Ila 4. compass box peat monster 5. Kilchoman Machir Bay...I'm sure I've missed some, but that's off the top of my head.
Fan of Talisker 10 as far as affordable Scotch with peat that’s still approachable.
Fwiw John J Bowman is currently unavailable in Virginia. I was able to snag a bottle a couple of months ago and the guy at my local ABC said it was the first time he'd seen it in about 6 months.
John J Bowman is currently sold out in VA thanks to everyone talking about it.
Well I mean it's good though
Sagamore is just outstanding rye, period. Have you guys tried any store picks? I tasted a 7 year old pick last week and it’s outrageously good
We've been fortunate enough to do 2 picks through them. Some of my favorite ryes!
Don't know if its changed since the bottle was bought, but is the 13th colony sour mash bourbon 2yr wyoming whiskey on your bottle? went to the store and seems weird for a georgia distillery, just want to make sure its the normal run or if they have a weird sourced run in between.
Have you guys bought or heard of Tuerker Shop online?
Benchmark Top Floor over OF 100?!
That's a strong statement. Gonna have to try that Top Floor now 😂
Well, dadgum. Except for the JJB/ECBP (these are HARD allocated here), everything on the list isn't available in Alabama. Nothing alcoholic except wine coming directly from a vineyard can legally ship here DTC either.
All Benchmarks are allocated in NC (except for 8), and RARELY available in our ABC stores.
ECBP...also totally allocated and only available about 6-8 weeks each year.
Of all that you listed only the Benchmark is available in Idaho. Sometimes it sucks living in a State controlled market.
John J Bowman still isn’t all that available in VA. Small Batch and Port all day, but single barrels still go quickly!
Yep, I haven't seen a John J Bowman in over 6 months in all my local stores.
