To the girls' question at 6:02, yes there is a high concentration of limestone in Kentucky. Some people claim that the limestone content in the water is what gives Kentucky bourbon its unique flavor. Incidentally, limestone is a very soft rock that erodes easily in water. That's why Kentucky has such extensive cave systems, including its most famous: Mammoth Cave National Park.
As a Kentuckian born and raised i absolutely love watching people of other drinking cultures enjoying Kentucky Bourbon.. I hope everyone who reads this has an amazing day.
Dermot looks like he's been quarantining in Santorini, Greece, painting landscapes and writing poetry and I'm mad I wasn't quarantining with him. Looking good, man
You know when Ciara is shouting "LIME STONE" like a divine revelation that she is both getting drunk and yet... wants to get there faster but is too much of a champ to leave friends behind
She may also know a bit of geology and be aware that Ireland's bedrock is primarily limestone and is genuinely interested to know that the burbon she's drinking is coming from an area that shares that property.
I adore everyone's American Roleplaying. I further Adore Clara just looking over and beaming with a giant grin. Truly warming to the spirit without imbibing the liquid spirit.
Ciara: Class as usual. Shannon: Entirely too cute to be allowed. Donal: Liquor spasm legend. Éadaoin: Best reaction facial expressions ever. MC: Belching QUEEN! Truly impressive. Dermot: I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again; sans swearing, that guy is my spirit animal. Great craic, y’all!
I like how Ciara was guiding Shannon through this video. The encouraging smiles, the sage advice, the comforting words to Shannon's high-proof horrors.
I wish y'all would come to Kentucky for a visit. My great granny was Irish and when we'd go to Keeneland for the horse races she always said Lexington, Ky reminded her of home. Add to the fact that they're are about 5 bourbon distilleries within 5-10 miles of the races made it heaven. She was 95 the last time we went to Woodford distilleries and drank us all under the table! Feckin' LEGEND!
I only lived in Kentucky for a few months but your spot on. I could totally see the Irish influence there, I've never been to Ireland or the UK but Keeneland, the horse farms and bluegrass remind me of what looks like the British islrs
@@johnspinelli9396 it's all the slate walls bro! I've never seen green like Ireland anywhere else except Kentucky and I've never seen walls like that anywhere else either.
I want to visit, but i am a recluse and have not left my city since 2005. I love bourbon, though, and have watched all of the online tours of different kentucky distilleries i could find. When drinking bourbon, i think of how europeans brought what they knew about whiskey making to the new world, how methods were refined and altered, and how geographical locations provided favorable results in the end product. I think of how a charred oak barrel provides color, aroma, and a memorable taste.

One day, One glorious day, the true perfect formula will be had and they will finally pair LJG and Ciara together for a strong liquor shoot. It must happen! The prophecy must be fulfilled!
I’ve tasted a few bourbons, but for me there’s something about Kentucky bourbon that has a sweet spot. And I really think it’s the region’s limestone water. There’s a natural spring in Red River Gorge KY and the water is amazing!
1792 is my favourite because it’s so smooth. Glad you enjoyed it too! Btw, Kentucky is known for its limestone...good for bourbon (bourbon can only be made in Kentucky), good for fast horses and beautiful women. 😉
I actually laughed when Ciara asked that question. Many Kentucky distilleries and even Jack Daniel's (which is in Tennessee) love to mention how their water goes through limestone.
Pro tip when drinking whiskeys neat inhale slightly as you sip the alcohol fumes hit your throat first and reduce the burn from the liquid. It also allows you to taste more of the subtlety in the whiskey . Don’t hold it on your tongue just inhale sip swallow. This is why whiskey drinkers never seem to be bothered by the burn whilst non whisky drinkers say things like “it just tastes like burning” Adding a drop or two of water can (key word) can open up the flavor of a lot of whiskies but not all sometimes it makes a good whiskey really fucking awful. Contrary to belief this isn’t watering down don’t mix the water just add the drop what it dies through the magic of science is force the oils in the whiskey to coagulate and brings them right to the top so you are getting a big taste of all the flavors but remember a little of char or wood or whatever can bring out nice familiar flavors but more doesn’t always translate to those flavors remaining and what might be a nice hint of vanilla or nip of spice can turn into just a mouthful of weirdness.
I like whiskey but didn't know about this, Jack was my first drink but I've been trying different kinds, I just sip it and enjoy but I'm going to be trying this What types would you suggest not using the drop for?
Dave Try it with every whiskey you have. Have one neat, one on the rocks, and one with a few drops of water with every bottle. Just helps you understand the flavor even more.
Looks aside, she's the only person of the bunch I'd like to hang with. She didn't go overboard trying to be smart or funny - she just is while the others were eh, NERDY to say the least.

I'd say that your reactions bear out the relative quality of the drinks: three decent and one bargain bin. Prices quoted here are from a Houston, Texas liquor store chain. Buffalo Trace €20.60 per 750 ml bottle Benchmark 8 €9.85 Bulleit €19.67 Ridgemont 1792 €22.35
@@synyzal772 Yes, but what do the Try crew care about dollars? They buy everything in euros, so that's what I gave 'em so they wouldn't have to struggle round translating.
I love how no one told them that Benchmark is the proper bottom shelf, minimum wage alcoholic bourbon. In some places, you can get two 1.75L bottles of it for the price of that one Bulleit bottle lol
Haha yeah as a chef Benchmark is usually what I order to cook with in the Restaurant. Also a well bourbon at many dive types bars here in my town. Loved the video though.
Éadaoin and Mary-Claire were a nice even match, Shannon and Ciara were polar opposites and Dermot well it was whiskey wasn't it. All good and to see all Tryers back in the studio.
I'm an American. I've drank Canadian whisky. But not much Irish whiskey. Canadian, not impressed at all. Just give me some Wild Turkey 101 bourbon and I am happy.
More than you want to know: Kentucky sits on huge shelf of limestone, so it is in the water and plants, etc. The limestone is the reason Thoroughbred horse are born and raised there. Farmers in Kentucky grow the corn for the distilleries. Bourbon is aged in charred oak barrels that can only be used once. The used barrels go to Scotland for scotch, Mexico for tequila, and France. Very disappointed you didn't get to taste Woodford Reserve, made in the county where my Mother's family is. How about the next American road trip is Kentucky? You can take the Bourbon Trail checking out distilleries, side trip to see Corvette sports cars built, tour thoroughbred horse farm to see very expensive barns and beautiful horses, eat a Kentucky Hot Brown followed by Chess pie with sweet tea to wash it all down.
@@juniormendoza657 If you ever get to go there, when the tour takes you to the warehouse make sure to take deep breaths. You will be taking in what is referred to as the "Angel's Share". What evaporates from the barrel during aging.
You make Kentucky sound interesting. I lived most of my life south of the border in TN. Never had high thoughts about KY...been up there many a times. And now I want to check out all those hick towns and take a tour down Bourbon Trail. Lol who woulda guessed
I do remember when they were trying celebrity alcohol and she kept going on about Matthew Mconaughey and only paused to down her shot of the whiskey in like half a second.
International Bourbon Marketing Primer: If it looks like a Jack Daniels bottle but isn't Jack Daniels, it's bad and trying to market to people who either prefer the McDonald's of bourbon or those who don't know any better. Bulleit is legit. Their rye is even better than their bourbon. 1792 has a fancier bottle but it's actually a similar price to Bulleit. Smoother and sweeter, really nice for cocktails. It's not premium. That said, premium bourbon is incredibly expensive, on par with scotch.
I really wish I could enjoy bourbon because god dang its cheap here, but I hate it. Meanwhile Irish whiskey is priced mid-range and up or I need to settle for a cheap Canadian. Long story short, someone make a cheap Jameson alternative please.
@@VenerableBede2510 Wanna laugh at my inexperienced ass? I was going to get Buffalo`s one day and decided to go for jack daniels instead. That shit is VILE, tastes of banana and chemicals.
@@btf1287 Jack Daniel's is for people who don't know any better, trying to get really drunk really hard and really fast... Jack is Tennessee Whisky, a different critter from Kentucky Bourbon (County) Whiskey. Yeah... Jack IS VILE. Bourbon is for nice, slow and easy sipping, not for "down the hatch" chugging. The Try Guys & Gals need to hang out with some American Grand-Dads to acquire Bourbon-Sippin' skills. Cheers!
I was born, raised and have lived in Kentucky my whole life and can say I am somewhat of a bourbon connoisseur and I have never heard nor have seen 'Benchmark' anywhere lol - give them some woodford reserve, jefferson reserve, grand pappy's or eagle rare. those are all very different but good choices!
Woodford isa good bourbon if you are sharing with friends and don't want to give up the good stuff; Jefferson is a very good bourbon; Eagle Rare is my favorite at this point and I have a bottle hidden at home for a really special occasion. 1792 is also a good bourbon, but Angel's Envy is no good for my taste. FYI - Kentucky Bourbon is the world's best whiskey.
@@waynecuffley3451 Agree. Woodford is my every day go to. Makers is not bad if you don't want to drop the few extra for the Woodford. Angel's is just ok to me as well. My favorite (not a bourbon) is Whistle Pig Old World.
6:02 Ciara: "Is Kentucky a limestone region?!" Me, a Kentucky boy: Yes, yes it is. Using the limestone rich waters of the region is what gives Kentucky Bourbon some of its characteristic flavor. . . . . . . . I think watching these videos is the only time I've been proud of being from Kentucky. Edit: Also, if you're only going to give them Kentucky Bourbons you could at *least* put the state in the title. Its not like we ever get any publicity outside of bourbon to begin with.
Dermot happy is such a rare thing. we need him in a video of the best foods paired with alcohol. because I know there will be something with peanut butter in it.
As someone from Kentucky, yeah! It IS a limestone area! At least, some parts! Notably, the Bluegrass area! It's named that cause the limestone in the area makes the grass appear blue-ish during certain weather events!
@@Ivy94F no, that's not the case. The grass originated in Europe and Asia, and was brought to the US to use for pastures. It gets the name from its blue flower produced when grown to full height (about 2-3 feet)
@@joneal0284 oh wow, I actually had to look that up! I was told from a young age that the limestone was the reason! Guess even a Kentuckian can learn something new about Kentucky!
@@masterofthieves6927 That's true for everywhere, lol. I swear local explanations for things are never correct. My theory is that some kid way back when was asking a bunch of questions about "Why is XYZ?" and their parent just made something up to get them to stop asking, and then it got passed down through the generations.
Ciara gets stablished as an ambassador for a licor brand, “Brand basically went bankrupt trying to develop a spirit with enough horsepower to get her to react”
Ended with my favorite bourbon = I like bourbon in all it's grandeur = Neat with rocks AND mixed and 1792 (and Eagle Rare) are two of the few that are excellent all three ways. 1792 is wonderful. 1792 also, btw, is the year Kentucky became a state. Enjoy!
Extremely thankful to TRY for having me on this shoot because I discovered Bulleit bourbon!! IT'S SO TASTY 😋🥃
Kentucky is a limestone region to answer your question!
Try their barrel strength! It’s so good.
And you're so awesome!
Bulleit Rye is a winner too if you want a little spice and tingle in your whiskey
And it’s not expensive. I picked one up at Trader Joe’s for about $24.

You are correct. Most Kentucky bourbon makers use High Bridge Spring Water from a natural spring in Wilmore, KY.
The limestone in the soil is also what gives the grass a slightly bluer color - hence Kentucky is the Bluegrass State.
And a rich history of pioneers
Which is also the largest known cave system in the world!
Limestone is also why New York city’s pizza and bagel dough is so delicious

Yeah, it's karst land, especially in the eastern part, which is characterized quite a bit by limestone
I’m going to remember that: “It’s a nice little sleepy willow before bed” Classic!
I love the southern US accent attempt…guess what? everyone who is not from the south in US does it too 😂
And believe it or not, the accent isn't limited to the south. The North Country of NY has quite a hefty population of people who you'd swear were from Alabama. Proof that it's not a southern thing, but a country thing. Lol
@@liamengram6326 there are definitely people living in central/southern Illinois who talk like this too. part of me thinks it's just the regular Confederate cosplaying they love to do since they hate black people so much there but the whole time i just shake my head and mock them for thinking they are "southerners" even though they literally live in the state called the Land of Lincoln
@@skippythealien9627 people from the South don't hate black people I'm from the south the Bible Belt my first wife was black
I'd say that your reactions bear out the relative quality of the drinks: three decent and one bargain bin. Prices quoted here are from a Houston, Texas liquor store chain.
Buffalo Trace €20.60 per 750 ml bottle
Benchmark 8 €9.85
Bulleit €19.67
Ridgemont 1792 €22.35
Is it Spec's?
@@nicolasdiaz1542 Waaalllll ... since they're the only big chain I know of in Houston, prolly that would be a yes. 😁
$24.30
$11.62
$23.20
$26.36
For anyone who was wondering the USD equivalent. Although all the prices will vary by state.
@@synyzal772 Yes, but what do the Try crew care about dollars? They buy everything in euros, so that's what I gave 'em so they wouldn't have to struggle round translating.
In the Netherlands most of these bottles retail at about 30-40ish euros I think, so not crazy expensive imo
It was so sweet seeing Ciara trying to be a drinking coach for Shannon :D
I love how no one told them that Benchmark is the proper bottom shelf, minimum wage alcoholic bourbon. In some places, you can get two 1.75L bottles of it for the price of that one Bulleit bottle lol
Benchmark is $20 a handle and makes a great mixer bourbon
Haha. Yes. Benchmark is a well drink for sure. Not top shelf. For use as a mixer. Or to purposefully get drunk.
Haha yeah as a chef Benchmark is usually what I order to cook with in the Restaurant. Also a well bourbon at many dive types bars here in my town. Loved the video though.
where are you people buying Bulleit, I can get a 1.75L for $30-35 at costco. Its the best cheap whiskey out there.
@@colefalettibenchmarks is even cheaper than that by a lot lol
I'm going to be visiting Ireland at the end of May 2022 and it would be a dream come true to drink with all of you wonderful folks.
agreed
Éadaoin and Mary-Claire were a nice even match, Shannon and Ciara were polar opposites and Dermot well it was whiskey wasn't it. All good and to see all Tryers back in the studio.
YEEEEEEEEEEHAWWWWWW
Back at ya, looking great!
That belch made my day!😂
MCluvs2laugh I need to make that my email alert! Lol
Smashing top! I love it!
Would it be an alcohol video without a belching MC, don't be ashamed let it out!
Ciara manages to have amazing chemistry with whoever she’s paired with 😂 it’s awesome
Same with MC! ❤🔥
Just bought the 1792 today, GORGEOUS!! Strong cherry & subtle vanilla notes, BUT big smoky campfire flavor which I LOVE! Fantastic whiskey!
1792 is a solid bourbon, but some batches have a bit TOO much "campfire smoke" too them. solid 6.7/10 sipper though!
@@frederickglass1583 Ouch, not even a 7? To each his own, but I give it a solid 8.5 - 9. It's easily one of my favorite Bourbons I tried recently.
@@GunnerM60 just too campfire-y for me. If i wanted campy smoke, I'd go with High West Campfire
Hell yeah!!
see ciara drinking - give a like. It's like the law, you know.
We must obey the laws
You should check out her youtube channel, "Cocktails with Ciara"!!!
"That's the fookin firewall you get for your internet browser" 😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"For the first time..." Everyone cheers when Bullett hits the table.
Everyone being the 3 out of 6 people in this video?
@@boffobookstore1658 50% of the time, it works every time.
I like Bullett ok but I enjoy their Rye more. Lately Monkey Shoulder has taken its place on my shelf.
I hate to be that guy..... It's spelled Bulleit... Sorry
@@MrDleef You love to be that guy. I never payed that much attention to the bottle to be honest. Like I buy Bulleit sober.
We need to get an American group together to try the Irish, Canadian, and other whiskeys! I'd be down for that!
We drink the shit out of that stuff in the US though. It may be hard to find enough people.
I'm an American. I've drank Canadian whisky. But not much Irish whiskey. Canadian, not impressed at all. Just give me some Wild Turkey 101 bourbon and I am happy.
More than you want to know:
Kentucky sits on huge shelf of limestone, so it is in the water and plants, etc. The limestone is the reason Thoroughbred horse are born and raised there. Farmers in Kentucky grow the corn for the distilleries. Bourbon is aged in charred oak barrels that can only be used once. The used barrels go to Scotland for scotch, Mexico for tequila, and France.
Very disappointed you didn't get to taste Woodford Reserve, made in the county where my Mother's family is.
How about the next American road trip is Kentucky? You can take the Bourbon Trail checking out distilleries, side trip to see Corvette sports cars built, tour thoroughbred horse farm to see very expensive barns and beautiful horses, eat a Kentucky Hot Brown followed by Chess pie with sweet tea to wash it all down.
Yes woodford is a great bourbon. For me if the bottle isn't doesn't say Kentucky on it I don't really want it
@@juniormendoza657 If you ever get to go there, when the tour takes you to the warehouse make sure to take deep breaths. You will be taking in what is referred to as the "Angel's Share". What evaporates from the barrel during aging.
You make Kentucky sound interesting. I lived most of my life south of the border in TN. Never had high thoughts about KY...been up there many a times. And now I want to check out all those hick towns and take a tour down Bourbon Trail. Lol who woulda guessed
ciara aghast: "IS KENTUCKY A LIMESTONE REGION?" god i love you all
It is ironically lol
Dude just stop
Ciara: "Is Kentucky a limestone region?!"
More reaction from her in that sentence than all her alcohol TRY shoots put together 💀
BEST LINE EVER
I do remember when they were trying celebrity alcohol and she kept going on about Matthew Mconaughey and only paused to down her shot of the whiskey in like half a second.
I'm still partial to "What the fuck is the font?" from the strongest American alcohols
Yes, that's why Mammoth Cave exists...
Shows a level of intelligence
These people make me want to live in Ireland.
"I dont care about the facts." Shade thrown 😆

International Bourbon Marketing Primer: If it looks like a Jack Daniels bottle but isn't Jack Daniels, it's bad and trying to market to people who either prefer the McDonald's of bourbon or those who don't know any better.
Bulleit is legit. Their rye is even better than their bourbon.
1792 has a fancier bottle but it's actually a similar price to Bulleit. Smoother and sweeter, really nice for cocktails. It's not premium. That said, premium bourbon is incredibly expensive, on par with scotch.
Bulleit is a true bourbon. The 10 year is the best.
I really wish I could enjoy bourbon because god dang its cheap here, but I hate it. Meanwhile Irish whiskey is priced mid-range and up or I need to settle for a cheap Canadian. Long story short, someone make a cheap Jameson alternative please.
Buffalo trace is good. If you can find it.
How can Jack Daniels be the McDonald's of bourbon? It's not even bourbon!
Yeah umm Jack Daniels is whiskey, not a Burbon.

6:56 "Beautiful" ....."Did you really enjoy that?" ...."Nooo!" My favorite part 🤣🤣🤣
"Bullet is expensive." Hahaha! They get you on those import taxes, eh?
Of all the bourbons tested in this vid, Bulleit is my favorite
@@VenerableBede2510 Wanna laugh at my inexperienced ass? I was going to get Buffalo`s one day and decided to go for jack daniels instead. That shit is VILE, tastes of banana and chemicals.
@@btf1287 Jack Daniel's is for people who don't know any better, trying to get really drunk really hard and really fast... Jack is Tennessee Whisky, a different critter from Kentucky Bourbon (County) Whiskey. Yeah... Jack IS VILE. Bourbon is for nice, slow and easy sipping, not for
"down the hatch" chugging. The Try Guys & Gals need to hang out with some American Grand-Dads to acquire Bourbon-Sippin' skills.
Cheers!
@@eekwhodat7122 I’ll put Jack Single Barrel up against any of that yankee bourbon. #VolunteerState
@@ryand.5857 Lol! OK... Jack Single Barrel is a different kind of critter altogether.
Cheers...
I was born, raised and have lived in Kentucky my whole life and can say I am somewhat of a bourbon connoisseur and I have never heard nor have seen 'Benchmark' anywhere lol - give them some woodford reserve, jefferson reserve, grand pappy's or eagle rare. those are all very different but good choices!
old grand pap is the benchmark, and good luck hitting that.
Benchmark is made by Buffalo Trace Dist. same as Pappy, ER, Stagg, etc. It is kinda crap. I was sad with the selection they presented them.
Woodford isa good bourbon if you are sharing with friends and don't want to give up the good stuff; Jefferson is a very good bourbon; Eagle Rare is my favorite at this point and I have a bottle hidden at home for a really special occasion. 1792 is also a good bourbon, but Angel's Envy is no good for my taste. FYI - Kentucky Bourbon is the world's best whiskey.
@@waynecuffley3451 Agree. Woodford is my every day go to. Makers is not bad if you don't want to drop the few extra for the Woodford. Angel's is just ok to me as well. My favorite (not a bourbon) is Whistle Pig Old World.
Love the pappy!!

Ciara: "Is Kentucky a limestone region?!"
Me, a Kentucky boy: Yes, yes it is. Using the limestone rich waters of the region is what gives Kentucky Bourbon some of its characteristic flavor.

I think watching these videos is the only time I've been proud of being from Kentucky.
Edit: Also, if you're only going to give them Kentucky Bourbons you could at *least* put the state in the title. Its not like we ever get any publicity outside of bourbon to begin with.

Dermot happy is such a rare thing. we need him in a video of the best foods paired with alcohol. because I know there will be something with peanut butter in it.
They should give him something like Skrewball and watch the different parts of his personality go to war.
@@EricHonaker that's so evil. I love it.
As a Kentuckian, this was delightfully offensive! Loved it! Bulleit is the best bourbon at its price point no question!
I still want: Dermot vs Ciara in a Whiskey/Bourbon Off!
Throw in M.C. for a 3-way :o
With cigars
Add Leather Jacket Guy to that and it will be legendary.

we all know who would win that one
The more I watch Ciara drinking bourbon, the more I like this channel.
Anyone Ciara is paired with: oh good GOD that's terrible
Ciara: *cheers i'll drink to that*
Me: "I wonder which one is the best?"
Them: "Can't remember, don't care - hehehehe!"
"Tastes like a urinal" *Me during the clock segment: How do you know what one tastes like?" "How a urinal smells."

Donal: "It's nice."
Ok, so I stumbled across y’all’s channel today and this is gold. I’ve lost count of how many I’ve watched already. Lol
They really made them drink Benchmark, neat. That's the shit you buy when have 20 bucks, and want a half gallon and some coke. Lol
Yup, when they all shit on it and called it out for being terribad, I knew this was real and they could be trusted.
that's the shit you just turned 21 and didn't know any better.
100%.

As someone from Kentucky, yeah! It IS a limestone area! At least, some parts! Notably, the Bluegrass area! It's named that cause the limestone in the area makes the grass appear blue-ish during certain weather events!
THAT’s where the term bluegrass comes from??? Wow, thanks for that!! Had no idea that was the effect from the limestone!
@@Ivy94F no, that's not the case. The grass originated in Europe and Asia, and was brought to the US to use for pastures. It gets the name from its blue flower produced when grown to full height (about 2-3 feet)
@@joneal0284 oh wow, I actually had to look that up! I was told from a young age that the limestone was the reason! Guess even a Kentuckian can learn something new about Kentucky!
@@masterofthieves6927 That's true for everywhere, lol. I swear local explanations for things are never correct.

Oh Shannon you’re so cute! Whispers..
“Expect the heat… Except the heat… expect the heat” 😂😂
Ciara and Shannon that burn you feel in your chest is what we, in KY, call a Kentucky hug. You’re welcome.
Nah, that's just the shitty tannin based swill showing it's inferiority.
Ciara gets stablished as an ambassador for a licor brand, “Brand basically went bankrupt trying to develop a spirit with enough horsepower to get her to react”
"A 'Benchmark' for bad bourbon." Indeed, Donal, indeed.
It’s also like half the price
Ended with my favorite bourbon = I like bourbon in all it's grandeur = Neat with rocks AND mixed and 1792 (and Eagle Rare) are two of the few that are excellent all three ways. 1792 is wonderful. 1792 also, btw, is the year Kentucky became a state. Enjoy!
1792 is my favorite bourbon
