[@JohnGenX69]

I like to blend two "so-so" bourbons (50-50...Old Bardstown Estate and Johnny Drum) and add a two well chared oak staves for 4 days.....its been a hit with all who I've gifted a bottle (had many return requests).

[@Kyle-dn1xs]

Trails End 8yr, $34.95

[@Shikai10]

Hey y'all Brand Ambassador for Old Line Spirits Company, and fan of the channel. Thanks for the shout out, I will share your video with the owners!

[@debbybrady1246]

I would love to see a “family photo” of y’all. Get your whole family in front of the camera so we can see everyone you talk about. Merry Christmas.

[@HHartman2]

I totally agree. I would love to see everyone.

[@ChuckyLarms]

Don’t forget cousin Jasper Daniel 😆

[@vert7871]

Been drinking bourbon for years, and last night my wife surprised me with a bottle of redwood empire emerald giant cask strength. I’ve never had a rye whiskey, and I LOVE IT.

[@vervor]

That stuff is INSANELY GOOD - your wife knows her shit!

[@williamprice1542]

Picked up a liter of JB 7 when it came out this year, what a great deal they gave us Jim Beam fans, the price point is amazing 😊

[@Weeman80]

Green River FP is great, also if anyone can’t find the LL/ME Russell’s Reserve, look for LL/MF it’s delicious

[@stevenprobst4917]

I did acquire a 2024 Gorge T. Stagg this year. Only reason I i dropped the coin was that we will shortly be celebrating the birth of our first Grandson. I will be toasting his birth with the bottle!

[@RabidAnt]

Congratulations! I guess the bottle is pretty good too.

[@FakingANerve]

Congrats! Oh, and congrats on the grandson too. 😏

[@scottschumacher1585]

I love my Westward single malt cask strength bottle! It’s my favorite bottle in my collection.

[@monsterguitar94]

As an early supporter, I'm so glad to see Old Line getting recognition! Their Maple Cask finish gives Decadence a run for its money! They never disappoint.

[@ravenmoon1165]

Another great video helping us spread the holiday cheer!

[@allenpiazza1409]

That Barrel Mizunara cask finish is @ my Costco right now for $55.99.

[@MarkProsser1964]

I wasn't a big fan when I first opened it. Wow did that change, it is fabulous!

[@Skwurm2297]

Bourbon barrel aged maple syrup is awesome. I put it in grits and cereals

[@josephvelez5685]

Jim beam 108 has been hitting the shelf’s and is one of my favorite bottles of the year at 35 bucks

[@nschlueter13]

I will have to look for this. How long you been seeing it in your area? Cheers!

[@nschlueter13]

Is it the JB single barrel 108?

[@josephvelez5685]

@@nschlueter13 yup, it’s a single barrel, and it’s been at my local total wine in central CA for about a month or so

[@Futureguitarist15]

Thanks for the heads up! I'll have to keep an eye out. Jim has killed it lately with budget stuff. Still need to try the winter seasonal but Jim 7 and Legent have made it easily into my top 5 this year.

[@ToddZilla813]

I love that syrup! I got it at Costco & was eating it on pancakes. After a couple bites I knew it would be great in an old fashioned cocktail.

[@mattschmitt9924]

My kids love it. I thought the bourbon flavor was strong enough to turn them off, but they prefer it to regular syrup.

[@debbybrady1246]

My hubby and I are on a strict budget. We are going to just buy one good bottle for our Christmas this year.

[@svt32vdohc]

Remember that high price does not equal high taste. What's your budget? I'd recommend Buffalo Trace at $27.99 or if you can find Eagle Rare at retail which is $35.99. Even Four Roses at $25-ish dollars is good stuff.

[@macville82]

I would suggest either Bardstown high wheat (106pf cream color label) or the green river full proof. Two of my fav bottles this year and should be 50 or less

[@joshuabunkers1494]

Those Jack Daniels SBBPs (rye and bourbon) are still out there on the shelves, those bottles are amazing.

[@jamesberlin8217]

Look for Very Old Barton. Might have to search a little bit. But for $16 it is outstanding

[@MaryS-go8dl]

Fantastic list, thank you.

[@MartyHagwood]

That Jim Beam Black 7 year is a good pour! The Green River Full Proof is really good! You can't go wrong with either one!

[@karl0318]

Great gift ideas video! Thank you! Jim Beam is not new daily drinker and the Winter Reserves are very good as well! Green River Full Proof is very good and worth $50. I've not yet seen anything from Old Line in my area.

[@pizzawarlord9232]

Jim Beam has been nailing it this year. Love Old Line. Very cool they are doing 3 bottles and free shipping. Only a few states they are not allowed to ship to because of those states not allowing it. The 114 CS is fantastic and 50 🦌. Picked up a Madeira club pick for only 53!! I have happily paid over 70 for it before. The Drumshanbo pot still is good but try their Pinot Noir Cask pot still!

[@nickp5511]

Nice suggestions! I picked up a Barrell Craft Iced Wine finished and it’s really nice! Cheers

[@aarontrinkle5309]

My Costco has Barrell Mizunara for 55. Total steal

[@juasmith1]

I like that you included the syrups. The best old fashioned syrup I've had by far is Proof. Hand made in Georgia!

[@FakingANerve]

The motion sickness med you're thinking of is dramamine, though Dilaudid might be a bit more effective in making one enjoy The Office. 😂

[@kerryroot7497]

The Drumshambo gin is fantastic. It’s the only gin my wife will drink.

[@DMS-yj5zs]

That Winters Reserve makes a great Old Fashion, especially using maple syrup in place of simple syrup.

[@Jrdeck88]

I LOVE the Kyle edits!!! 😂

[@GOTAisMe]

That Drumshambo gin is fantastic. They use Asian botanicals including gunpowder team from China, Indonesian grapefruit, kaffir lime with Irish meadowsweet. It's very different and really elevates all your gin cocktails.

[@francisrizzo1529]

Costco had the Crown syrup barrel aged in used bourbon barrels. Best waffles you've ever had...

[@mikesmalley6119]

You’ve got to try the Glenglassough Sanded - picked it up at Costco in MN - 100 proof, drinks like 80 proof - absolutely fabulous

[@hawkwho]

Sandend

[@Bourberic]

I am giving a new friend a bottle of 1910. Another Beam is the Extra Aged which is an 8 year product for $24.

[@hawkwho]

You're a good friend!

[@manitobuckles]

This will be a great watch! Happy Holidays SLB.....from the slowly but surely freezing Canadian Prairies! 🥃🥃🥃🥃

[@Khaslett]

Loving some Old Foresters 1910 recently. Big on toasted/charred flavors during the colder weather. Happy Holidays to all!

[@willwood7656]

Let’s go!!! Vintage Turkey👌

[@harriscl100]

While it hasn't got the accolades it did last year, I still find 13th Colony an excellent choice for gifting. Their 44.00 bottle in either bourbon, or rye, (or both) is a great selection.

[@Futureguitarist15]

My favorite part about whiskey during the holidays is gift sets! Yeah, I'll go buy the occasional bottle of makers mark for $28, but then the gift set is also $28 AND it comes with 2 rocks glasses!

[@xGoTPaNcAkEsx4ever]

In the New England area (I’m in CT) those maple syrups can be found at Costco if anyone is interested. Mainly the barrel aged one

[@ThomasMetal75]

155 proof? Damn!😮

[@CharleyCarey]

I got an Old Line ASM pick from the guys at 2Ten90 KZbin channel. Its like Mexican chocolate in a glass.

[@SingleDadHomesteading]

Happy holidays

[@igotchaBOO]

Widow jane gets their syrup barrels from Crown for the Decadence bourbon.

[@AustinRhinehardt-t8g]

Hey fellas! I used to sell Drumshanbo Irish Gin as a liquor rep for RNDC! It’s the best out there hands down. I had been waiting for their Irish Whiskey to drop for years, you have to try the others! Their Pinot Noir cask and Galanta bottles are worth the $99.

[@scottstoltz9652]

Drumshambo makes excellent gin

[@tommiller4895]

I am giving 1792 Small Batch and Heaven Hill Bottles in Bond.

[@Roman_Carter]

Just popped my first westward and half the bottle was gone over thanksgiving. Merry Christmas and happy holidays slb family.

[@jaxcoop1511]

I use to work for a large liquor store chain. Every holiday season non-bourbon drinkers would come in asking for all of the usual suspect allocated bottles to give as a gift unaware of how difficult they were going to be to find.

[@Liz_DrB]

Along with the Journeyman Farm Rye, I’d recommend (and can be purchased online) New Holland Walleye Run Malted Rye…..And New Riff malted rye sherry is the bomb but not available anymore (I think it sold out in Mid October)

[@brettengland192]

I decorate the house for Christmas on November 1st. Seven trees.

[@andrewcaldwell4343]

That barrel is a banger just tastes like strawberries to me idk why but it’s delicious 😂

[@DavidTanko-j1k]

I like the winter reserve this year. 25$ it'll surprise you

[@MISTERLOLCRACKERS]

For anyone shopping around. Barrell has Free Shipping til the new year!

[@Josh_P_1992]

I’m taking my dad a Jim Bridger Montana Bourbon. For $38 it is absolutely delicious

[@haroldjohnson2041]

Gleens Creek OCD #5 is great I bought one when I was there should have bought more, I will be back in April ish. seem like you can only get it at the distillery or one or two other place, you Guys told me about it.

[@seric8023]

Love the gift ideas, unfortunately almost none of your picks are available here in Richmond, VA I'll keep listening, never the less.

[@aarondassow3942]

bitter milk syrup barrel aged you should try

[@BrendenSisemore]

Dramamine is what you were looking for 😂 Dilaudid is something we give for pain in the ER

[@ianreynolds494]

In the Irish category for someone who likes "smooth" whiskey but maybe only really drinks Jameson's. Powers Three Swallows, around $45 and a real step up. Also, I wish I could get more of those New Riff Special bottles in TN. They don't ship and we only get the standard releases. Give me more New Riff off the beaten path ryes please!!

[@boskyoutdoors8795]

I'm going with Wheel Horse Cigar blend this Christmas. Awesome bottle for $31.00

[@DAtoms91]

Imma go buy myself a Russell’s 10 for Christmas as I don’t drink much but it seemed like it was worth a buy from yall.

[@louismeszoros4574]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Guys

[@shaneN1234]

What about Wild Turkey 101? I heard the current batch is really good! lol

[@scottlunde3497]

Can you share the list of these?

[@aarondassow3942]

Can you do a scotch one.

[@billjoynes3433]

Jim Beam single barrel (108) proof is also good budget buy. For the Holidays or any time, I enjoy Bakers 7 and Russell's Reserve single barrel. Cheers 🥃

[@psychopicklez]

Westward products seem to come up on this channel a lot... I got their blue label american single malt a few years ago and didn't care for it at all. I keep wondering about trying to get back into them because i hear them recommended so often but hesitate given the price and my experience with the entry level stuff

[@keithdozier9342]

That Jim Beam Winter Reserve is good on its own but it makes a really good egg nog.

[@Bajinok]

I can only get two of those bottles here. Can you please review Calumet bourbon please?

[@hawkwho]

Get the 16!

[@MonicaBritner-e2g]

Thanks for the breakdown! I have a quick question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

[@flattailbob]

Just for fun I just cut every one of your selections and pasted it to the web site of the largest most popular liquor store in my area. This store is the one that the mom and pop stores recommend when they don't have an item. I got ZERO hits out of the 10 including the old fashioned recommendations. If you love Whiskey and Bourbons then I recommend you don't move to Oklahoma. There was a proposal to build a Total Wine and More in Oklahoma and the liquor commission poo poo it. There is only one distributor in the state and they control everything.

[@robertjr1254]

I just now while watching this video drove and picked up a 7yr beam to try

[@rpredl]

So how do I find this Harry fella?

[@brendanmadden1446]

Old Line is great stuff, glad to see them getting their roses here

[@loveandlight8286]

I was just thinking what i should get my dad

[@robhybarger6774]

Would you guys be interested in doing a review of "Old Forester Single Barrel Barrel Proof Rye?

[@tonyspohn]

I’m coming up to Lakeville for Christmas and would like to visit Harry’s. Can’t remember exactly where y’all are up there so I don’t know where to search for it. Could you give me an address?

[@neonwraith]

Trenton, you NEED to try Company Distilling Seismic Rye. It is so flavorful, has a great thick mouth feel and the finish is just spectacular. Unfortunately it's only available at their distillery in Tennessee.

[@cjlough]

Did anyone who won an SLB raffle bottle from Oct receive theirs yet?

[@James-xg5rh]

I can’t find that New Riff bottle to save my life. Doesn’t exist here in Texas

[@Mike2trys]

ive been trying to find bottles for the Men in my family thats personal to them, i got a bottle of mellow corn for my bro-in law from Nebraska, i got a bottle of castle and key for my bro in-law that loves dungeons and dragons. but i need a bottle for my father in law who is old school cool, old time biker/musician, also need a bottle for my other bro in-law whos into tech stuff, any good recommendations for either of those two? keep in mind none of them are into whiskey so a fancy bottle wont do it just because its fancy, cuz they won't care lol

[@jeffchannel-lf6df]

Old time biker/musician screams Jack Daniels. Tech kinda has my mind thinking scotch

[@mattschmitt9924]

Musician gets new riff, 3 chords or heavens door (Bob Dylan) The technician makes me think Japanese whisky like Habiki Harmony or something. Cool theme. Hope they enjoy.

[@baconator1550]

Who else is drinking this Wednesday morning?? (Hiccup)

[@JordanG_3031]

[@mikew6135]

Ah yes. Storage units. One of the biggest waste of money ever. The only way they make sense is to use them for a month or two to give you time to bring into your residence. Otherwise SELL the JUNK. Oh it's not junk? How are you able to do without it then? Hmmm😂😂😂

[@romo2k506]

lmfao kyle

[@theCLEcyclist]

LOL Dilaudid

[@cardinalj]

Dilaudid lol.

[@Rivrdadde1]

I have a store pick Green river @ 122proof thats is tip top !
