  • Welcome to a new series we are doing! “This or That” where we will compare 2 samples and choose our favorite!
    On todays episode, we are comparing Michter’s Barrel Strength Toasted Barrel Finish Rye Whiskey, Batch 23C 108 Proof with the Penelope Rio Bourbon Whiskey finished in honey and amburana barrels, Batch 24-901 98 Proof.
    This was so fun to do, and a huge thank you to Dave Vogelsang for sending us these awesome samples!

    Some channels use black Glencairns or colored (red, green, gold) Glencairns so that you can't see the color of the whiskey in blinds. (Myself, I always use dark-colored tasting glasses when doing my own blinds.)
    As far as *amburana* , seems a lot of folks never liked it to begin with or have gotten sick of it.

      That’s a great idea!!! We will definitely have to look into those👌🏻 the Rio definitely was good, but we both said we probably couldn’t drink a lot of it, but it was cool to try for sure! Cheers!🥃

      Loved the live last night, and we are so glad y’all enjoyed it! We would definitely pick up a Michters toasted if we could ever find it lol! Thanks for watching and for all the support. Cheers!🥃

    Glad you liked them! Rio reminds me of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. Very sweet with the honey. I have several other Amburana finished bourbons that are fun to compare. I usually save the Rio for a last pour of the evening. Once you drink something with Amburana, it is hard to follow with regular bourbons and taste the flavor notes at the same sitting. 🥃

      Thank you again! Yes, Cinnamon Toast Crunch is a spot on comparison! That makes sense since the flavor is so unique. We really enjoyed it!

      We had a lot of fun with this one and we are so glad to hear that you enjoyed it the way you do. It’s genuinely why we started a channel. Dave V absolutely rocked our world with these samples and we can’t wait to show you guys the rest of them. Thanks so much for the kind words and for all the support! Cheers!🥃

    Michter's toasted Rye is top 5 for us. We love it and hoard it.

    Appreciate the review. Michters is so good. Rio is a little too sweet for me

    I haven’t had an Amburana that I love, but I’ve avoided trying the Rio because everyone raves about it and I don’t want to be let down 😂

    • @StraightUpSips
      @StraightUpSips  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Haha, it’s definitely something you’d either love or hate I feel like. It’s good, but I couldn’t have it all the time. Definitely a good “once in a while” pour! What amburanas have you had? Let us know if you ever try it! Cheers!🥃

    Michters all day (when you see it), not a fan of the RIO, great review!

    • @StraightUpSips
      @StraightUpSips  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The michters was amazing! The RIO was definitely unlike anything we have tried, so it was cool getting to try it out. Thanks for watching. Cheers! 🥃
