Kyle’s editing has been on point the last few weeks 😂
That Baby Jane may not break the bank but if I'm in the store and I see a 4-6y 91proofer for $50 next to a bottle of Wild Turkey 101 aged 6-8years for $25, I'm going Turkey.
Or for the same price, Rare Breed!
Agree on both.
@@nickbonvino Amen
Almost get knob creek 12 for this price
Can’t disagree with your line of thinking. I like to highlight new releases and at least the WJ offering was an effort at a more affordable option. Hard to beat some of the tried and true budget bottles from other legacy distilleries though.
LOL the windows error! The way in which you don't take yourselves too seriously - both the humility and the self-deprecating humor - are one of the most endearing and entertaining aspects of your channel.
BY FAR…..the best whiskey show on TH-cam!…..thank you….to all involved!
I live in Cedar Rapids. Thanks again for reviewing our Distillery here, Cedar Ridge. I am going out to HyVee and getting a barrel proof. Love your videos.
is it a fun place to visit?
If you find a single barrel double barrel barrel proof. Get it, won’t be disappointed! I think a few hyvees did picks and are fantastic!
Trenton has fully morphed into the guy who doesn’t like bourbons under like 120 proof.
Right??!!
It’s easy to do lol
They really missed an opportunity with Baby Jane to call it Wittle Jane
😂
I like it!
LOL, well played
150K Congrats!!!! Great video.
That Green River Full Proof wasn’t incredibly complex at first crack but it was potentially the most approachable high proof product I’ve had in a while. A great introduction to proofier bourbon for a newbie.
Been a subscriber for a while now. Love your vibe and energy when it comes to whiskey and finding deals that still taste good. Keep up the great work guys!
Nicely done, Guys. Appreciate the fo us on new offerings at a reasonable price.
I can’t wait for Green River to release the Full Proof version of their wheated bourbon!
Ditto!
It’s out. Just bought it today. It’s not too bad for $47
@@TheShivedj… the Full Proof is 70% corn, 21%rye, 9%malted barley.
Adding these to our hit list, Thanks for showcasing these. Sláinte
Wow! I will be looking for all 3 of these bottles!
Another great video. Really interesting choices. I love me some Widow Jane 10yr when I can find it on sale for ~$50. I love the coffee/chocolate/mocha note at the end. I like that they are rolling out a $50 SRP. Now there are three new whiskeys I'm going to try.
I know they are from last year (or the one before) but the Bardstown Origin series Black and White labels are the go to "budget" bottles that really hit for me. I know there are cheaper bottles that are really good (WT 101 is great and has been mentioned) but these two bottles are great and offer a different experience for a really good price.
Excellent video guys! I was able to try the green river and to be honest the first night I tried it. It was just OK but then I tried it the second night and really loved it. Sometimes that happens with your pallet between days depending on what you eat, etc., but I thought Green River really did a great job of releasing this full proof product
Great video. Since I refuse to spend $100 or more for a bottle of bourbon, I love to see these releases that are all in my price range. I will be keeping an eye out for all three of these.
Awesome video
Trenton - the Paradigm Rye from WJ is so different from most other Ryes. Definitely do a video with that one. It’s one of my absolute favorites. Imagine someone taking a sweet apple jolly rancher and distilling it. 👀 Yeah! It’s like that.
“Do you get a Windex note?” Of the many Trentisms we’ve seen so far, this one takes the cake!!!
As an Iowan, it is awesome seeing you guys show Cedar Ridge some love. They have been making great whiskeys for quite a while now. You guys should do a whole “Is Cedar Ridge worth it?” video. I believe the barrel proof is a blend of 3-4 years if I remember correctly (check back of bottle).
Grabbed the 'California Love' version of the Green River full proof a few weeks back. Mouthfeel was good, overall it was above average, but got a lot of odd licorice notes on the palate. Also was $65 here in CA. Won't be getting another, happy to leave it for someone that better appreciates that style.
I'm going to check out that Cedar Ridge juice soon.
I really enjoy watching both of you two and how well you get a long with each other . I know of so many Father and Son who don't even talk with each other . So to watch both of you and to get Great reviews is Awesome . Thanks for sharing .
agreed. its cool to see whiskey bring family together
GR is part of the great Bardstown Bourbon Co. family. All great stuff.
Here in Iowa, that cedar ridge small batch barrel strength is my favorite bottle they make! Delicious!
As much as I enjoy Widow Jane products, I REALLY wish they would up their proof to 100. It comes across as kind of thin but it's still pretty good, so you'd think it would really help them bring their flavor game up a few notches.
Green River is delicious! And it’s got a slot in the front of the bottle for playing quarters - fun bottle design at its best.
Can’t wait to try all 3 haven’t been able to find the Cedar Ridge yet
Widow Jane Paradigm Rye. Delicious!!
Yes on the Rye video 👍🏼
I worked in a cave in Rosendale for Iron Mountain in the 80s. 45 acres underground. It was a small town with roads and buildings. Big trucks would drive around. Other parts of IMAR, The Caves, as everyone called them had large underground lakes. It was cool to have worked there. They should make an Iron Mountain blend.
Great Video
I got the first batch of Cedar Ridge BP and its absolutely phenomenal bourbon! Im lucky to live about 15 min away from the distillery!
Never been a fan of WJ but I would try a pour if I ran across it. GR on the other hand a fan of. Will definitely give it a try if I find it in my market. I just picked up their Rye to try. I have not seen Cedar Ridge here in North Carolina, but will definitely keep my eye out for it! Sounds like it’s a winner! 🥃
Widow Jane is one of my favorite distillers
Nice review fellas. I am just an hour north of Cedar Ridge so I am a bit biased but they have been bottling some dang nice juice. (as you well know)
Trenton is lit in this one
Everything I've had from Green River has been great, so I'll have to keep an eye out for the barrel proof.
Picked one of those cedar Ridge barrel proof up for $29 at Binnys the other day end of the bin sale not a bad bottle
I have a Green River - Single Barrel Full Proof that is awesome. Haven't seen the Shelfer yet in Texas, but I will pick it up when it reaches the shelf.
How about we visit Trenton's house...
Cedar ridge is good! They also have a bottled in bond, port cask and the original is good too!
Cant wait to try the GR FP.
It’s worth the money. I’m very excited for them to do an FP Rye.
I sampled that Widow Jane from Trevor's you referenced while in AZ last week. Wish I would have snagged a bottle to bring home but my suitcase was already full. 😂😂
I did get to kill a bottle of RR Single Rick while at the bar though so the night at Trevor's was really good.
I had a Manhattan with widow Jane paradym and it was one of the best drinks I’ve ever had!
Kurt: "efficiently priced" is more accurately phrased as "reasonably priced."
Glad someone already brought it up...that phrase was hitting me oddly as well. One of the reasons I really like you guys is you just say what you mean and the whole "efficiently priced" sounds very forced. Over priced and well or reasonably priced are not ambiguous. Sorry to be a bummer on that one, keep up the great work
Yall please open and review the paradigm rye from widow Jane. It’s gotta be one of my favorite ryes out there. If you enjoy that one I would try out their applewood smoked rye
Mammoth Northern Rye #2 is something I think Trenton would love!
😊 I'm stuck at a 2-bottle BAR with WT 101 & 8yr old ISLE OF SKYE Scotch {1.75L} poured into my fancy crystal decanters. They Pair nicely with my Premium Imported Handmade Cigar Collection.
I've talked to my local store about getting some of the Green River FP 🥃👍
You're allowed to add a drop or two of water to a barrel proof, and sometimes it makes a good whiskey better. It can also moderate flavors and show new flavors.
Green river full proof is my go to now for cheap full/barrel proof
Never seen Baby Jane before, Interesting! Great video, where’s the Spam!🥃
I have a store pick of a Green River single barrel, and I didn't think it was all that great. Had a good front palate but had a really funky bitter finish. It got a little better after the bottle was open for a while, but I hope the Full Proof is better than the single barrel was. Seems this will be a varying proof per batch as well.
This Chattanooga white port is absolutely delicious ! Please do a review of this. I'm so interested in what you guys think.
I live in Cedar Rapids Iowa about 15 mins from the distillery, the barrel proof and the double barrel are 2 of my favorite products from cedar ridge. If you like single cask, their quintessential is great as well but it’s a little pricier, especially for the single cask releases. I have a 7 year single barrel rye that released here locally that is fantastic also.
Have a video idea I’d love you guys to do:
What’s 5 bottles or so each you judged a book by its cover and never bought and then when you finally tried it or bought it you loved it
For me it’s gotta be heaven hill BiB idk why just didn’t seem appealing or special. Got it as a birthday present and it’s one of my favorites.
Thanks guys. Love the videos.
thats a fun idea!
That custome series from Trevor's is amazing. I just got a bottle last week
Have you guys ever tried Dettling bottled n bond or cask strength? It’s phenomenal!!!! I would love to see you guys review it and get your take?
I like the regular Cedar Ridge as well as their Double Barrel. If you guys get a chance, you need to check out the Portside offering from Cedar Ridge. It's fantastic.
I was at HyVee this morning and the Cedar Ridge Barrel Proof was on sale for $33.99....guess what came home with me.
Tried grabbing that Green River, but it sold out quick.😞 Now I need to find the Cedar Ridge. 😁
Green River rye is 95 proof. For me, the first crack pour had an odd note on the finish ...but since then it opened up nicely. Darn good especially for the price.
Bourbon for everyone !
You guys need to try the 7 year cask strength rye from cedar ridge. Tons of flavor
Love the videos. Not sure you can say full send and take a sip. Full send is all in.
Interesting you mention the Wheated, recently I hosted a blind Wheated bourbon tasting including Weller SR, Redemption, Ben Holliday Red Wheat, Old Elk Double Wheated and Green River. Green River was walk away winner just an FYI
Note to self: BOLO for Cedar Ridge BP! Brown sugar yum
Can you review Calumet bourbon
Smooth Ambler, Old Scout Bourbon (99 proof, $30) and for $5 more you can get the barrel proof Rye ( approx. 116 proof) and they are both stellar.
Just went to HyVee Drug on Blairs Ferry and Center Point and they had it for $42.99. I got a bottle. Can't wait to try it.
Cedar Ridge Barrel Proof just reviewed by SLB Drinks
I also got the Cedar Ridge Barrel Proof at $42.99 at Hyvee Drug (Boyson Rd). On the website it is listed at $39.99 plus shipping. For me it is a 25 minute drive. I'm very much enjoy the Cedar Ridge Port Cask finished too.
Hey Guys: Just started watching your videos - really, I've just started drinking whiskeys, bourbons and ryes - and need some help from you.
First, have you ever made a "glossary of terms?" As a beginner, I don't know what the many senses of "cask strength" are. What does cask strength betoken for the both of you? What does "proof" mean to you. (It seems to mean the higher the proof, the better the taste.)
If you might create a glossary of terms that a beginner might consult it would be a great help and aid.
Thanks for the videos and hope you continue to make and post them. All the best.
Feel like the brown sugar flavor bomb of cedar ridge may have compromised the green river tasting to a small degree. Interested to get a bottle myself as I'm a big GReen River fan as well.
Do that rye video please !!!!
Trenton and Kurt, try the Green River Rye!!!
Have you guys tried Oppidan single Barrel, cask Strength? Ive had Barrel 416 and 417 around 115 proof each, I enjoyed both. Its from Waukegan IL, I cant find much information on Oppidan as a distiller though. Its 45.99 here where i live in Tennessee.
I have bought the Cedar Ridge. Unfortunately I have to wait for the delivery, as it is unattainable here in Oregon.
"This person is not responding" HAHAHA, that was great. Looking forward to finding that GR FP.
Cedar Ridge's standard Bourbon is aged 3 years, but I'm not sure if it's still at the 3 year age statement then just bottled. Their Double Barrel is fantastic.
The Cedar Ridge Bonded is my favorite from them and only 50 bucks
The WT Rare Breed Police are coming after Kurt.
I found the Cedar Ridge Rye at Total Wine and now nothing comes up in a search, that's disappointing. Cheers from another Kurt 🥃
He looks like Radar from M.A.S.H
😂
Add Balboa Rye to the blind please? Would like a big rye comp like you guys did for March madness
I might have to grab a bottle of Cedar Ridge at some point
Please do a video on if you can only buy 10 bourbons what would they be.
I would like to see a rye video bulleit rye is my favorite, hudson rye is also good, brothers bond rye Is good also
My Partner is subscribed to you and never misses any of your 3 weekly videos
He gets me on look out to find Bourbons you taste and suggests
Could you say hi to him ? his name is James Wilkinson
Hi James! Thank you both for being a huge part of the SLB community! Appreciate ya!
I have found the Cedar Ridge Barrel Proof as low as $36, but I am in the Cedar Rapids area so Cedar Ridge is much more available here.
Is Trenton wearing a yamaka?
Cedar ridge is far the best of these, Widow Jane is just ok apart from the Decadence which is outstanding , Green River is ok but for me its a good standard Bourbon but no more than that.
I first saw Trenton I thought he was like Fred Minnic's son. Fred and Treton do look alike.
Please please please do a rye video
Do the Rye thing!
SLB cedar point trip?
Not a fan of green river, have 2 of them not going for number 3
Mmmm, smells like Armani. Delicious!
Quick question. The Baby Jane or the Michters bourbon..? Help please….😢
My bar, which is small is getting pretty full. In the last week I've squeezed picked up two bottles of Jim Beam Black Label 7 yrs. Wild Turkey Rye, Rittenhouse Rye. Old Grand Dad Bottle and bond. Not to mention Rum, Gin..Voka. etc. And to think, before Covid, I always was a wine drinker...Thanks for all your honest results of what out there is kinda over priced or bottle that just didn't fit the price...
