Really enjoying these. My relatives and I do an advent beer exchange every year but next year I really want to do a whiskey advent calendar. Keep up the great content!
Balcones puts out some interesting stuff. I have a rye pick from them that is one of the darkest whiskey I own, super chocolate and coffee on the nose and palate, one of the most interesting rye's I've ever had and drinks super soft at 130+ proof.
Wow, from your notes I could swear you were describing Westward CS Pinot Noir finish. I have a store pick that is literally chocolate covered raspberries. I also love their regular CS and Stout finish. Check em out if you haven't. Cheers and nice guessing!
Basically everything out of Balcones is utterly phenomenal. They're one of my top 2 distilleries from TX, top 5 US. The Cataleja is a chocolate / coffee bomb, no doubt. Another great take on their malt is their Pilgramage release (Saturnes finished), which is much more apricot creme. Can't ever go wrong with Balcones.
Perhaps American Malt whiskey needs to be explored more, hate the "single malt" category because all they want to do is just be scotch but made in the US. For example, 'single' should only refer to a single grain. And malting is a process. So Old Portrero should exist as a Single malt. I have a Balcones High Rye Bourbon that is incredible, unfortunately they seem to have stopped laying down new make in new oak. (True Blue and Baby Blue are just aged is used oak)
Is it Die Hard a Christmas movie? Is Jack Daniels a bourbon?
Die hard is an action movie set at Christmas. It came out in July. It's no more a Christmas movie than A League of Their Own is a war movie.
Die Hard is definitely a Christmas movie! One of my favorites!!!🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
@0:20 - I loved "Moonlighting" too! -another thing Grinch and I have in common, along with our good looks and acerbic wit 😊
Your editing with The Grinch is phenomenal!
Looking at the Barrel behind you and the bottles, I think you need more Russell’s in your life . 😅 Like needing more Cow Bell 😂
Lethal Weapon is also a Christmas movie 💯
I got it from your description. My 2024 whisky of the year. I have 6 of them. lol

Another great guess! They were having a company Christmas party so IMO yes:)
Dude, you are crushing it with these! Production value 11/10. Oh, and yea, 100% Die Hard is now a Christmas movie. Yipee-kiyay mutha beeeeeeeeeep. 🤣
Die Hard is a Christmas movie. 100%.

I also thought it could be Westward CS pinot lol
Nice another Single Malt. I’m a fan. Love the chocolate I get from American SM even nicer when you get a nice fruit note with the chocolate. YKYMF
Just got a cask strength single malt from them and love it. Gotta try more from them
I called that one from your description! Patting myself on the back with a sip.
You're killing it. And Diehard is NOT a Christmas movie...

Can't ever go wrong with Balcones.
Great bottle, but probably the funkiest bottle of whiskey I own.
Die Hard is definitely a Christmas movie. If it weren't for a little violence, it's practically a Hallmark Christmas movie.
Very interesting bottle
Cataleja
Will you be speaking about Bourbon Heads again or is that 2nd video not going to be shown?
Where can we find the resting Grinch face shirt?

Best Xmas movie ever!

Well... according Bruce Willis: Die Hard is NOT a Christmas movie 🎄 🚫 🧐 🤔
