Nice to see you back. Oddly enough, I'm starting to feel like I've been going a little too hard on the whiskey this year. I plan to cut it way back this upcoming year. I got my hands on a lot of nice stuff in 2022, so I feel like I can chill in 2023 and not have to chase as much. I'll still go after ECBP though. Always
Yooo. This was the first channel I started watching after I got into whiskey 1.5yrs ago. On the wine note. Wife and I love some reds and cabs as well. If you are into fruity and Kamboocha you need to try Sangiovese. ESpecially zero point by joe swick. Or “love you bunches”. Good stuff. Cheers and happy new year!
Nice to see you post since leaving for awhile. An idea for a future topic... "the Whiskey Experience"... what surrounds a great pour besides just tasting a dram. Things such as the glass you choose for that pour, the bottle design, the legacy of the distillery and/or the people who put the spirit in the bottle... what might you have to eat or snack with while enjoying it neat. How food and snacks might improve the experience while most surely influencing the taste. I'm sure that you and others can add to other considerations to include with a drink besides a great conversation and to make it a lot more than a technical dissection. Enjoy Life around a Passion.
I agree on those Russell’s store picks I’m buying fewer bottles but trying to make sure everything is really good I probably drink 2 bottles per month and trying to buy that same amount, net zero
Love your delivery and insight, Drew. You are the antithesis of the laughing-screaming-rambling-fools. Love French rones and Cali zins (cabs ehh). WA and Oregon are making some great pinot's too. Also like Spanish - Riojas and tempranillos. Portuguese reds from Douro have been surprisingly good and amazing values as well. Enjoy, cheers!
Glad to see you back! I also agree that Elijah Craig could be my only bourbon. These days I have been making a 1:1 blend of ECSB with Evan Williams 1783. Something about the two together really gives the result depth and range, with a total age range of 6-12 years. Would love to see you make a review of this!
I generally agree with you. I like the idea of sitting with a bottle for a week or two or however long until it’s gone; however that is just not who I am. I am a mood pourer for sure. Just like I don’t drink the same wine every night or every week or month, I need variety. You know what they say variety is the spice of life! Haha!! Speaking of wine, talk about a awesome world to get into. Talk about vast. Love Cote du Rhône’s and Zinfandel might be one of the most underrated grape varietals. Cheers to exploring!
Vintage 38 in greendale, Wi is definitely worth a visit to try great wine. I also like French reds. Jammy and fruity is my thing. As for bourbon, the allocation hype and hoarding is a huge turn off. Ive been appreciating whats on the shelf and buying less. Happy new year!
You’re going the way of bourbinsane. That was a great channel until he up and quit. No judgement. Doing a channel on whiskey has got to take a toll on multiple fronts. Anyhow, good luck with whatever direction you decide to take.
The majors taste like piss; people who drink Bud, Coors or Miller have no business offering their opinion about beer styles. Sours are refined and tough to brew. Hit up Cascade, if you’re ever in the PDX area.

I'm glad to see you back. I appreciate your honesty and your ability to be transparent with your audience. A rare trait these days. Thank you!
100% agree on variety, balance, drinking the good stuff, and kombucha + sours. Great video Drew. Always appreciate your thoughtful perspective.
Dude!!! Welcome back - you are one fascinating cat! Like the new style.

Good to see you back Drew. Happy for you that you took a much needed break.
Your videos are always worth the time man. Dude abides. 👍
Just glad to see and hear Drew again!
Drew P. drank 400 gallons of water in 2022.
I mean, you're not too far off.
Drank 400 but peed 800
Glad to see you do a new video Drew! Always liked your channel and insights. Hope to see more soon! Happy new years!

Glad to see you back. Sorry, had sour beer this past Summer, and ya, not having that again. See you soon.
Totally on board with the ECBP and EC as my pillar and forever go to bourbon. Good to hear you brought some balance to the force.
Great to see you back!

Nice video. This is the type of video that I like to use my time. I love your delivery, and that's why you're my favorite whiskey reviewer.
Best kind of video! Just a chat, keep em coming Drew. Cheers

Sour beers and kombucha are both awesome. I'm spoiled with both, living near Seattle.

Visited Drifted Glenn while visiting WI. Enjoyed it.

WTRB, ECBP for me
Got the Russells single barrel haven't opened it yet that one should be great.
Good to see some SMWS bottles in there. Proper whisky. The “good” shiiiiiiit!
Wild turkey Rare Breed for the win! ❤🔥😁
Dude, love some sour beer. Next time you are in KY, you must hit Atrium Brewing for their pastry sours. Also all in on the old vine zin.
Liked it, down to earth
If you like whiskey & red wine you should really try Port, especially Tawny.
Side Project brother! I imagine you’ve already tried some. I’m about a mile from the place.
I’ve been lucky enough to find AB&C this year, got lucky at my regular places in Milwaukee.
Hey! I'm in Milwaukee too. Where are you shopping? Ray's is my go-to.
We made it 😁
