    You both are a large part of the reason I started exploring whiskey. I love finding something new to try that doesn’t break the bank because I’m still trying to develop my palate. I’ll definitely be grabbing a bottle of the small batch to give a shot. #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk

    Jeremy (and Big Al), thank you so much for describing things on a basic level and trying "entry level" bottles. I'm only a beginner in Bourbons and hope to one day start finding those "subtle cloudberries that were grown next to a field of poppies" flavors/aromas😁. You describe things the way we as beginners/average drinker can relate, using terms that the uneducated palate and nose can relate. Been enjoying your channel for a while, just keep doing what you are doing because it is great.

    I just recently tried the Full Proof Benchmark and I really liked it. Shout out to another whiskey-tuber (Whiskey Row) for the recommendation. For the price, it's super amazing! I think I paid $21 bucks for it. Won't be replacing my favorite bourbon under $50 - OGD 114, but it's a great alternative when I can't find OGD. Gonna try the Small Batch next!!

    Just subscribed, enjoy your channel muchly! Gets away from all the B.S. like many other channels; a hint of this, a trace of that, all B.S. Comes down to simply do you like it or not. Like your straight forward attitude! Will definitely try Benchmark, thanx for the entertainment! Enjoyed "Big Al", good fun!

    Buffalo Trace has been a favorite of mine for 3 years. Hard to find now; I haven't been able to restock for several months. Since both of y'all chose Small Batch as #1 and Buffalo Trace was Allison's #2 choice, I'll get some Small Batch in the meantime. Love these blind taste tests. Y'all have introduced me to some great whiskeys and it's interesting to know your reactions to some of my favorites.

    Great video as always, Jeremy! Quick question: have you ever considered making a video about your guitars? I hear a lot of blues licks in the background and your intro is very blues influenced so are you the creator of your music? As a musician myself, I spied a Les Paul, a Strat and a maybe even a Fender Bassman amp in your whisky room. I think it would make for a great video(s)!

  • @Trip_Ac3
    @Trip_Ac3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video man! I freaking lost it when you went on your cigar rant lol! Looked like a lot of fun, may try those out myself. I agree that buffalo trace is good but not as good as all the hype. I enjoy it in some old fashions, but rarely neat.
