Rum and milk can be good but not like that. I usually do 1.5oz cold whole milk, 1.5oz light rum (i like plantation 3*), 1/4oz strawberry real syrup, shaken furiously over ice to froth the milk, then served up. Quite delightful. Alternatively, you can swap the strawberry syrup for 6 dashes of angostura cacao bitters

Well, I've got EW Black, 1783, Larceny Small Batch, Elijah Craig Small Batch, and Makers Mark. Having tasted them all, none of them blow away the black label. They are arguably better, but definitely not double-the-price better. All are good and drinkable, but the Elijah Craig might be the only one I'd pay extra for.

I'm mainly a Scotch drinker but my favorite gin is the Seagrams Extra Dry on the Rocks. It's a lot cheaper than the Bombay Sapphire which is not half bad. Oh and I avoid any of the Amsterdams. The Watermelon is horrid and is not even close to tasting like it''s bitter rind...let alone the sweet pink interior part. Thanks for taking the time to sample these.

I highly recommend Nolet’s Silver Dry Gin. It’s my favorite and I’ll enjoy it neat. My second favorite is Watershed Distillery Guild Chamomile Gin. I prefer it with Elderflower Tonic.

Maguey is pronounced “Mah-Gay”

There is so much used bottle of that ginebra gin here in the Philippines other manufacturers start to use their bottle to package all sort of liquids like solvent, rubber cement, glue and stuff. . they dont even try to remove the brand so you will see Ginebra on the bottle for a liquid varnish.

love my white label, my go-to , I like it quite a bit more than the 1783. As a college student 200 ml of the black label gets me where I need to go before I hit the bar for a five dollar bill and some change.

I agree with your results. Evan Williams BIB is a great value. You can find a better bourbon, and you can find a cheaper bourbon. I have never found a better cheaper bourbon than Evan White label BiB. I haven't actually tried the Heaven Hill Bottled in Bond because of the price difference. I suspect it may be the same juice with a couple more years in the barrel. I found that the Single barrel and 1783 were not to my liking. I tend to drink a lot of higher proof bourbons, so the Evan Williams black label is just too watered down for my taste. Kind of like drinking bourbon after your ice cube melted.

this guy is drunk

Great video as usual Tony. Really enjoy every video you put out!!

Very interesting results. Maybe you can target the products of another distillery and do another blind.

Never liked gin until I had Tanqueray. It is the only brand I drink, although will occasionally go for a Tanqueray 10 when out on the town.

Your anecdotal evidence proves nothing. Sorry. Perhaps you need a third party, or you need to do a blind taste test. But you think it's okay and everything smells/tastes the same, tells more about you than the quality of the vermouth.

tony do you have other social medias?

Yeah, not a great selection if you are looking for juniper.. Sipsmiths, Drumshando and Citadellle would be better choices. Beefeater is decent on the cheap side.

Good video tony :)

In my late teens and early 20s, JD was regarded as something you would treat yourself with. 10-15 years later, ive tried a fair few whiskeys and not JD for a long time. I got a bottle of JD for new years eve on sale and my god is it simply awful. No smell, no flavor, just a burn. I would describe it is like drinking accelerant of some kind. I have not felt a burn from a spirit since I was a teenager. Many pedestrian whiskeys like jamesons and tullamore dew are leagues ahead. Wtf

Made an egg nog with 2 parts evan williams black label and 1 part mt gay eclipse, ended up pretty good

that local bourbon actually has a cute looking bottle, would buy

Well, you gave JD another chance. It's just not for you 😄 I'm watching a lot of bourbon reviews... people just have different palates.

I've not tried everything yet, by far. But so far, my faves are Monkey Shoulder Scotch, and Bacardi 8yr Rye Finished.

Jack Daniel's is not Bourbon!

I am new to bourbon... Started with Bulleit, which was decent. Bought a 750 ml of Evan Williams Black, sip on it every day. The EWB is a drinkable, basic bourbon for $12 a fifth. It's been a couple of weeks and I'm not bored with it.

The best is what you like, not what the internet tells you to like.

Basically you get what you pay for quality wise, but still an overall enjoyable experience

Jack Daniels is not a bourbon

I am not even a drinker but this man is easy on the eyes. Thanks for your sacrifice. ;)

Nothing wrong with that Evan Williams. I think the Bottled in Bond is an outstanding pour, especially considering the price.

thanks.

Dang, I jusr picked up three of these bottles in the last 6 months. Ahahahaha I got Four Roses, Jack Daniels, snd Makers Mark. The most recent one I got was Makers Mark, its a cool flavor kinda harsh. Im not used to bourbons/whiskeys. I mainly get Tequilas but ive been trying to get into bourbons/whiskeys. Just wanted to grt more opinions on these bourbons, your video is cool

I like the Evan Williams too but my experience has been that out of all that I have tried, it's the one that leaves me with a headache if I indulge. If that's your bag maybe try the 100 proof Bottled in Bond Evan Williams. It could be your next step down Bourbon Lane . Cheers!

I am a huge fan of vermouth and a good intermediate home cocktail maker. I tasted a bottle of sweet vermouth that sat on a shelf at my mother’s house for at least three years. It was undeniably bad. No question about it.

13:05 This thing is popular all over Europe and a preferred way to drink beer in the summer for many people.. In England it is called shandy, in Germany it is called "Alsterwasser" in the north, and "Radler" in the south.. But it has to be sprite or something similar tasting.. Otherwise it is something different! Coke tastes more horrible.. Also, without ice, but mixed with icecold sprite and beer 13:50 The foam up part is where it got the name I think. It is a way to revive "expired" beer or beer that was open for too long. After the Menthos, the foam looks like its freshly opened

No Brandy??

Ameretto

Sounds like you don't really like gin bruh 😂

I haven't had a drink for over 30 years. I had a beer and hated it. Got some vodka, and with juices, it is doable. Rum and Cokes are great. But whisky? That and coke was OK... but I found my minds taste buds travling to maybe Dr. Pepper which sounds much better.❤ im taking a mixology courses to understand ❤

loved every second of the video those coin flips were soul crushing though 🥲

Do not try this. Rum with Shampoo and Conditioner. Drunk a few sip and seen a lot of bubbles floating and moving around my head 😱😱😵‍💫😵‍💫🤬🤬😵😵🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

hey man, i just drank 3 vodka n cokes, and I enjoyed your video. Thanks

had a baccardi spiced rum in a promotion tent one sumer. it tasted SOOO yummy. wish i knew how they made it. had orange juice in it no idea what else. wish i asked the recipe i'm sure they would have gave it since the goal was promoting their rum sales. lol

For science

I think the bolder mixer flavors could have done better with a more even ratio, I've seen recipes for Esspresso Martinis made with rum instead of vodka, and those are typically equal parts

nectar most of the time is diluted juice

“The main difference is that fruit juice is usually 100% pure fruit juice, whereas nectar is diluted fruit juice which has been mixed in with water, additives, sweeteners, and preservatives.” I wonder if you like the extra sugar? 11:35

laughed so hard through this entire video. the farther you go, the better it gets lol

Letttsss goooo

Crabz got xanthan? 😂

Why did you pick half weird fucking liquors? No Jack? No Captain? Three runs only one bourbon and it’s one we never heard of?

Thanks for doing this comparison. Would love to give that veil vanilla a try.
