Four Roses single barrel for me! I always think that it's interesting to listen to people with different palates talk about bourbon, it's really something special that two people can have two completely different opinions on the same drink.
Just tried the Clyde mays.. ☹️
Larceny was great 😋
Need more budget friendly reviews!
Blind taste tests are so interesting. Excellent production value. Sara is a dime. That is all.
The world needs more women who can appreciate Bourbon. Bravo!
The world needs more women who appreciate bourbon and dragon ball z!
My mom drinks whiskey and my dad drinks vodka. Needless to say I inherited my mom's tastes.
Truth!
She's cute
Um, brava
Every time I buy something that is not Elijah Craig I end up wishing I bought Elijah craig
Doug Golden Golden I will agree. Bought Weller Special Reserve the other day and I think it’s possibly the worst bourbon I’ve tried. I’ll take Elijah Craig any day over the Weller.
@@roscoepcoltrane23 Elijah Craig the only bourbon I drink neat I prefer the small batch over the barrel proof
Haven’t tried the barrel proof yet but I’d like to. Really like the small batch though. Also like Four Roses small batch really well.
The Henry McKenna was a GREAT suggestion! Love it!!
Just sipping, for the first time ever, the Knob Creek Single Barrel. And I'm liking it!
Knob Creek is a solid bourbon. My other goto would be Buffalo Trace for an every day.
Don't watch this and expect you're own tastes to match theirs. Bourbon preference is extremely individualized.
Agree with you. I watch these and other channels to get recommendations but I’ve noticed I don’t do well with bourbons over 90 proof. The alcohol overwhelms and takes out the flavors & diminishes the drinking experience. So I stick with mostly between 80-90 proof. Just have to take recommendations, try a few and see what you like. There is some trial and error but it’s usually fun experiments
There's a lot of whiskey vloggers these days, you two have a nice chemistry and clean presentation. keep up the good work! I'm more of a Scotch drinker but appreciate other spirits and really enjoy your in-depth approach and for pointing me in the right direction or steering me clear of a few duds. Also I got the Tribeca glassware based on your show so thanks for that too, you should do some etched glasses or T-shirt merch to promote the channel.
Awesome video, you can't go wrong with either the McKenna or the knob Creek single barrel two I have all the time. Did my McKenna review not long ago either, one of my favorites. Cheers
My go to used to be Elijah Craig 12 but that's unavailable now I've since found the bottom shelf isn't bad at all the under 25 section for me is up there with the with EC, Blantons, Russels Reserve. Ok maybe not quite but for the pruce you can't beat Evan williams or Ezra Brooks but OGD 114 is one of my favorites along with Buffalo Trace at any price
Michters and Evan Williams single barrel for me.
She gets cuter and the theme song gets worse every time.
Rhabdo B Thanks!
Evan Williams single is only $20/bottle where I get it. I think it's a really good bourbon. My go to is bookers, I'm getting it under $40/bottle
BiteThis Where do you live? Those are some great prices!
California, Raleys has special 6 - bottle pricing, where you get an extra 33% off each bottle. I only found 1 Raley's that carried bookers though.
BiteThis That's awesome.
I've been digging the Old Forester 100 proof lately. 1.75L of pure bourbon goodness.
Great production. I love anything Knob Creek.
Nice reviews. Bulleit Barrel Strenght? , Haven't seen that one...
Because I don't have nearly enough glassware... can you provide a link to the glasses you're using in this video? Or the name of it? It's like a taller, skinnier glencairn...?
Of course! Here you go: www.amazon.com/Godinger-Tribeca-Whiskey-Glasses-Silver/dp/B00RII1Y0W/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1507650407&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=tribeca+whiskey+glasses&psc=1
Four roses keeps coming up in the past few days. I think it’s a sign…
Sorry guys.....Just to hard to follow this format. I have no idea who won!
GREAT flight fight guys, can't wait for the $50-$75 flight. P.S. I'll be looking for the Clyde May.
Charles Nappo Thanks!
Sara's level of excitement for Henry McKenna getting 1st place was amazing!! Haha. Great video guys!
Love watching your videos, almost feel like I know you guys but we don’t...lol you should make a video on who Chad and Sara are, and how you met etc...
How about Larceny bourbon it's a very nice wheat bourbon at a great price
That intro song is absolutely Terrible.. no offense please..
Rare breed is definitely my fave!🥃😎
Blind flights are just such a mindfuck. I like it when I get surprised.
Lots of new stuff to try from this. Great flight fight.
Just discovered your channel!! I've always been a Knob Creek/Woodford Reserve guy and it's so cool to discover new Bourbons to try!!! Thank you so much!!!!
i need more of this shit in my life....i need it, do it with single malt next!!!! then with GIN! .....then .....Sherry......or ...Cognac....do it!
It's a Bourbon channel, maybe they'll have a branch off "It's a Sherry Night" channel soon...
Anybody else catch the Rick and Morty reference? New viewer here... "And that's the wayyyy... the news goes"
😊
Love the Henry McKenna as well. Wish they would put a cork in the bottle though. Not a fan of the screw cap.
Matt Garman Yeah, it feels like a cork worthy bourbon.
The new bottles have a cork now!
Great video. Horrible singer for opening.
Why wasn't Angel's Envy in this? I'm positive it would have easily beat the shit out of all of these other bourbons.
p.s. I'm a huge Angel's Envy fan and find it tastes more like a fine Scotch then a traditional bourbon
Holcombi Because it didn't meet our rules requirements. It's a finished bourbon. We had to narrow the field somehow.
I believe their rules were bourbon that was not finished on specialized cask or barrels.
It's technically (aka legally) not classified as a bourbon.
Damn you have Angel’s Envy under 50$ where your at?
@@schrodingerschad6400 you are right.
you two have broaden my love for everything bourbon thank you. so sad four roses didn't make it
Uncultured heathens, drinking straight from the bottle....
Just like me.
They all should be 100 proof BIB are great
Just a curiosity, do you all cap or consider capping your glassware during blind tastings, as to avoid aromatic co-mingling? I wonder if that would change anything on the judging?
Bobby-Lee Phelps It’s a possibility, but we don’t think it would co-mingle enough to throw anything off. We like where your head it is, though!
The Henry McKenna bib single barrel for the money is GREAT!!!
chad just loves jim beam
sara just loves heaven hill
We do love those brands, and so, so many more!
Heaven hill.40-out the door
Hey!!! Your color is getting better. Still not there yet.
Hey guys. I love your format of making tasting like a knockout tournament. I will definitely be doing some of that with my scotch research. It is a shame that here in Australia I can't buy bourbons at your friendly prices!
Noah’s Mill has been my GoTo, I’m looking forward to trying some new ones.
Same. I think it's my all time favorite. And this is after bartending at a bourbon based bar since I was 17. I've had a lot of others.
Love the videos!
Just finished this video...might be my favorite thing on the internet right now...you guys are awesome! Time to binge watch the rest of your channel.
Evan Williams Black sure taste good to me and yeah I've gone top shelf
do you have this in a list format?
Yes do a worst of.
definitely do a worst of
By the way....yes....worst of again on Halloween....absolutely a vid.
Worst of - a Halloween tradition.
Henry McKenna is one of my go-to's as well, although I've noticed some stark differences in newer bottles compared to older ones I have bunkered, with previous bottles being older, darker and more complex. Effects of the bourbon boom, I suppose. Still good, but just not quite the shelf sleeper it used to be, IMHO.
KC SiB is my favorite daily drinker and is a steal at the price point, especially when you can source some of the store picks. Do you have any KY stores that do especially well with them? Binny's up here in Chicago just did a massive drop and there were definitely some honey barrels.
Yeah, we have several stores here in KY that do private barrel picks and we've been lucky enough to go on one our selves! Great stuff.
You 'guys' are cool. Yet I hate that you mentioned Henry.... its a secret.
J Alexandr Hahaha not anymore it’s not! But it wasn’t our fault, it was the San Francisco World Spirit’s Competition! Hahahahha
Hey, you guys used the older 112.8 pf Rare Breed release.... While great, the newer 116.8 pf release is *ridiculous*.
The older stuff is 6, 8, 10,12yr barrels. The newer one is 6, 8, double amount of 12yr and a splash of 15yr.
It is awesome, and you should revise this list.
Erik Lund We’re about ready to redo our 50 under $25, which was our first episode. We’ll eventually get to redoing this one as well as things become discontinued and new things are released. Yeah, we’ve had the newest proof of Rare Breed quite a bit since this episode. We love it! Crazy great value. I think the new proof was just coming out when we filmed this episode actually.
Knob creek is my favorite
I cant tell if that's Alison Brie or Riley Reid
I'm sure you get it all the time Sarah, but you're such a keeper 🙂 congrats Chad on finding such a catch. Love y'all's vids, keep it up!
Thanks! And I agree, I think I'll keep Sara around ;)
It sounds like they are describing each other and it keeps getting hotter and hotter and after the shoot itll be baby making time haha. Maybe that's just me though. It's all very sweet how they talk to each other..
Do a $100 bottle flight challenge
My favorite, Angel's Envy wasn't on here :(
Jeremy w Awe, sorry bout that. Only reason is bc we were keeping the bracket to bourbons only and Angel’s Envy falls under the finished bourbon category. Just trying to keep everything fair.
What a woman.
Great info and seemed like fun. Thanks
Love it guys. I always look forward to your flights the most and I was stoked for this one.
Four Roses gives me heart burn for some reason, so I don’t buy it.
Haven't even watched it yet, but I've been waiting for this for too long! So excited! Love what you guys do, keep it going!
Do our Bourbons get lonely on the shelf when we're not home drinking them
Awesome vid! Can't wait until your next Flight Fight!
Knob Creek does not surprise me in the least. I have a couple of store pick single barrels that I think is some of the best bourbon I have ever had! Great Job: Guys & Gals!
I just found some store picks myself. Little pricey, but man are they good.
Woke up this morning and never heard of Clyde Mays. Tonight I own a bottle! Blind tasted against some small batch Four Roses and really don't care who won...we enjoyed both. Y'all are great...but still waiting for the video on your backstory...who are you guys??
Excellent video. You guys save me a ton of money and keep me from picking losers.
Gimme Makers, Wild Turkey, and Big House!
What? EW 1783 didn’t make it out of the first round with Sara? OMG!
Right??
Not surprised you guys picked different finalists. Turns out , contrary to mainstream media, men and women are different. I feel Chad guessed more of his winners because has more strong favourites. Or maybe drinks them more often as he has them at home. Don't feel bad Sara
Drago Puskaric Or maybe Chad is just better at everything. Hahahaha, just kidding. And this is Chad obviously.
What would make someone give this a thumbs down? Excellent video
So this is the second video I’ve watched from its bourbon night and I’m already hooked. Just so you know.....I’m a bourbon/whiskey rookie but so into it! Oh ya, nobody else I would love to learn from than Sara :) Love the channel guys!
Henry McKenna is my favorite too, but like you mention, every bottle can be VERY different. If you find one you really like, go back and get more from the same barrel number. (Edit; that may be one of the benefits from buying at a local store vs. online. My local ABC stores typically shelve multiple bottles from the same barrel number, so they must be shipped that way.)
Favorite video. Bourbon under $50 each. Lady drinking from two bottles on one night & your Reactions? Priceless. 😉😁
I enjoyed how giddy and happy they were towards the end. They must've consumed a considerable amount of Bourbon.
Wonder Weirdo Yeah, a lil bit :)
Almost first!
Ha! Chad’s look of faux acceptance when Knob Creek was announced is amazing. “Okay, cool” which really meant “uhhhh nope, false, not possible, someone mixed the letters up.”
Baaaahhhhaaa awesome " Holy Shit " you guys are great keep the vids coming . My tastes are more towards Chad Knob creek 120 and the Rare breed would be my top choices excellent journey
Sorry for another question guys but the Clyde May used, was it the straight bourbon or the apple infused???
No problem. Straight bourbon, of course!
You two do some great reviews. And the flight fights are interesting and entertaining. Keep drinking bourbon,, yeah straight from the bottle even. America,,yahoo
Thomas Wells Thanks, Thomas! We appreciate that!
Sarah definitely has a taste for Heaven Hill products. I love Knob Creek single barrel . When Chad said oh what are you doing to me D I feel the same way. There is lots going on in that bottle. Thanks for doing these I now have a bunch of new things on my list for the next time I go bourbon shopping. Cheers
Thank you for all of your best of's. The thing about it is it covers a lot of forgotten bourbons, so thank you for the reminders. I have been drinking bourbon now since the "eighth grade picnic", and have forgotten to buy some bourbons from your best of's. So, thank you for jogging my memory.
Do you guys fight when you drink? I get this sort of vibe when I watch your videos.
Kentucky distilleries do close during the summer because their local water source is too warm during that time. I recall it's actually the water they use for cooling equipment but I can't remember where I read this.
Knob Creek SB is and has been my favorite Bourbon since about 10 years ago.. the first time I tried it!
My go-to bourbon Knob Creek Single Barrel was Chad's choice? I love being validated by strangers. LOL.
Buffalo Trace is my daily drinker because it is good and cost me $23 in my area. But Michter's is goto when I've had a tuff week or I want something really good.
Chad, just cracked open Knob Creek single barrel and it is GOOD! Thx👍
You guys are just great. Professional, fair and very helpful. Keep up the great work.
bourbon under 100, and then under 150
The Knob Creek 120 SiB is superb. One of my top 3 every-day bourbons.
Great Flight Fight. I am a McKenna fan myself but currently not on my shelf. I will have to go out and get some more soon. Keep up the videos - tasting and more cocktails! Oh yeah - nice shirt too Sara!
This methodology doesn't produce the five best. In fact 2nd through ? could all be eliminated.
I remember a time when Henry McKenna would have been in the $25 and under list, but it keeps winning bourbon of the year and double gold! Stop it! I can't find you anymore and when I do it's like $38 :'(
Patrick Clark where ? I found the cheapest bottle at $100! 😮
@@miguelvasquez8461 I used to live in Bowling Green, KY and you could find it at liquor barn for around $25 a few years ago. I'm in WV now and last time I bought it it was about $38. I'm sure the cost has gone up even more since it just one best whiskey 2019.
Very informative video. Good job! Are those Libbey glasses you are sipping out of?
Tribeca glasses. They can be found on Amazon.
Thanks!
Rare Breed by far is one of my favorite go to bourbons that is readily avail here in Michigan. Love Rare Breed. Huge Wild Turkey fan overall.
Your video editing is very well done. You both have have a great ethos on camera and your chemistry together is wonderful. Thank you for the whiskey review
Great 1 year anniversary video. Love that classy straight from the bottle finish. Where is the Corner Creek, too uncommon for this bracket?
alan D Corner Creek was in there. It was a late addition actually. Did it not show up in the bracket? Might goofed and used an old graphic of the bracket, but it was in there but did not advance for either or us.
It's Bourbon Night opps sorry I see it now, it is in bracket 1.
I am so interested in Clyde Mays. Alabama whiskey. Interesting
