Barrel Proof Wheated Whiskey War! Can Larceny Barrel Proof Take Down Weller?

[@ohhhhhhhhh25]

39.99 for makers cask strength at my local liquor store, I couldn’t resist

[@dragonb5758]

Good price

[@robd8167]

I always enjoy it when there’s a bunch of tasting notes in your videos.

[@jeffreywack]

I obtained a Larceny Barrel Proof yesterday. Excited to crack it with friends this weekend.

[@69CamaroSS]

Air it out for at least 30 min....it’s a bit rough around the edges at first.....excited to revisit now I’m past the neck

[@charleywaynehinkle6358]

Luckily I manage a restaurant I get first dibs at the local liquor store. So we always get antique collection. We got a barrel of wellers barrel proof coming our way. Hopefully I like it as much as weller 12yr.

[@280nosler]

Not sure how I blindly stumbled upon your channel, but after watching about four shows, I really enjoy your content. Cool set-up, great interaction, fun topics. I'll be back for more. As for the wheaters, I've never had Horse Soldier, but I rank the other three in the same order.

[@BourbonJunkies]

Glad to have you here, cheers!

[@willbowens224]

"Remember when Moses just Krrr STAFFED that ocean dude!" Best line ever hahaha.

[@andrewt248]

Then Sean took him to Bible school. LOL

[@RuckusOutfitters]

I was waiting for the taste of the Blend at the end, can’t leave us hanging like that! 😅

[@21taters]

Buffalo Trace should just raise retail on allocated items to kill the secondary and raise availability

[@carlmschwarber259]

Love the Horse Soldier

[@clifflash7274]

Hey, guys, I like your background music. It is reminiscent of the Little Rascals! "I didn't know you could talk, Peetie!" Cliff

[@TheReal_DeanD]

For me the winner is Horse Soldier because it is attainable at MSRP and I just can’t stand Maker’s Mark.

[@bourbonapprentice]

How the heck can you talk up combining B and C, but never sipping and telling us how it turned out?!?! Aside from that...spot on with Horse Soldier. Solid on its own, but grainy AF next to anything else. Super young profile

[@BourbonJunkies]

It turned out really well actually. I still probably like the parts separate then together.

[@DominoEffect15]

I picked up a bottle of Weller Full Proof at my local store as a store pick, and it's just so good. I was very impressed. Wish I could've bought two

[@Thats-Ray-Cest]

Domino Effect are you located in TX? I’m assuming b/c the flag. If so, may I ask where?

[@DominoEffect15]

@@Thats-Ray-Cest correct. Houston to be exact. (and I'm not getting in an Astros debate here, we're not giving the championship back lol)

[@Thats-Ray-Cest]

@Domino Effect I’m up in Ft. Worth! No worries even-though I’m a Rangers fan, I’d never expect you to return it. Was just at wondering if you were close, and if so where you might have got that bottle, but unfortunately you’re not. :-(

[@DominoEffect15]

@Ryan Caddell the store I got it from is right by my house, I buy everything from there. We had to wait in line and limited one per person

[@johnniet.7820]

A little late to this tasting, but here in VA in Nov. 2021 we cannot get either the Weller or the Larceny Barrel Strength. The only way to get some of these Bourbons is to drive to DC and pay exorbitant prices (if they have any in stock).

[@Frozen-Spirits-Alaska]

I think y'all have by far the best intro. 👌

[@michaelwhitford7755]

Strawberries get their name from the way you winter them over. When they are done for the year throw straw down on to cover them then in the spring they sprout through the straw.

[@BourbonJunkies]

Did not know that

[@irishsausage6]

Now I really need to get my hands on the Weller Full Proof pick coming to my area...

[@geno816]

Good luck

[@mikecofojohn168]

Love coming back to when Dan knew what he was doing. Larceny BP B22 is a banger! Thank goodness you guys got into the AM to dress Sean moving forward.

[@socoblue1988]

Hoping to snag a Larceny Barrel Proof here soon! Gonna make some calls. Still haven't come across any Weller for sale, sadly.

[@RealGriz]

I have Larceny Barrel Proof B522 (which I find AMAZING) and Larceny and Makers Mark Cask. I already made a Prudent Pappy Blend with the Makers and the Larceny, but now I am wondering if a Less Prudent Pappy blend of 2 parts Makers Cask and 1 part Larceny Barrel would be even better...

[@stuartrobinson1593]

Let us know!

[@RealGriz]

@@stuartrobinson1593 I am not anywhere near Bourbon fluent but I mixed a small batch and have to say it was bad. Unlike the regular Larceny, the Barrel Proof does not come together well with the Makers. Very discordant taste to my inexperienced palette.

[@stuartrobinson1593]

@@RealGriz hey, thanks for the effort! I have the b522 and was thinking about doing the same thing. Think you have to let it mix for a while to get the best results, tho

[@RealGriz]

@@stuartrobinson1593 I let it sit for a bit. Same as when I tried mixing a small batch of Prudent Pappy before committing to a full bottle. Did not taste promising but I would love to hear your reaction as I know you have more experience tasting than I ever will. To my palette, The Prudent Pappy was immediately nice after mingling for 10-15 minutes.

[@djbeacon6895]

Lucky that the Larceny BP is $50 here. Will crack open for the Saturday morning Waffle and Bourbons LIVESTREAM!! Maybe the Weller FP will start showing up at under $100 in the next 2 or 3 years?! NAAAHHHHH, NFW being a BT product!

[@RebeccaPaige]

Iirc farmers would put straw over the berries to protect them during a frost/cold spell. Hence, straw berries.

[@BourbonJunkies]

Not going to Google that, I'll take that as the truth.

[@ragnvald687]

Larceny BF...available and affordable Weller FP... pff Secondary Market Trad Bourbon GF...Priceless Unicorn

[@RebeccaPaige]

@@BourbonJunkies I googled it for you and seems despite my post being a popular belief I was incorrect. According to Snopes "it comes from “stray” or “strew,” designating the spread of the plant’s runners (slender tendrils), in that in an unchecked field of strawberries the plants appear to have been strewn across the ground with their runners straying everywhere."

[@glazerdonuts5076]

"dip a Pay Day in chocolate"...... so you just described a Baby Ruth lmao!

[@kalishnakova86]

Well around here we grow our strawberries in beds of straw to keep them warm during early months. Straw berries? Lol idk

[@BourbonJunkies]

Someone else said that too! Never knew that.

[@andrewwebster411]

I remember my grandfather planting the in the late fall right before the first freeze and the covering the ground with straw for insulation; though I could be 100% wrong on that timing.

[@trevorwilliams195]

Great stuff guy's..thanks from Trev in the UK

[@joestriker2100]

Buy a small 1 liter or 2 liter barrel, and store Larceny in it for a couple months. Soooooooo smooth.

[@djbeacon1942]

Only 4 bottles in this Blind so Dan can complete in about 60 minutes??

[@FreedsFirstTime_Whisky_Reviews]

it really does sound like you are saying "whore soldier" lol. Great stuff guys. As a budding whiskeyTuber, I'd love your feedback!

[@zanderwow]

Just had my local liquor store guy special order me some Larceny BP. $53! Pick it up Saturday. Can't wait!

[@bradburdine9406]

First day just subscribed!! You guys rock, big makers fan here

[@BourbonJunkies]

Thanks for being here man! Cheers!

[@workisfun...2438]

Weller is always a ghost around here. Larceny is good stuff though, I will stay on that train while I can. Glad I found your channel! You guys never work a day! Cheers

[@lawrencespies8674]

Larceny 92 proof is my pick.

[@BourbonJunkies]

It's solid for sure.

[@jbpoletti]

“Better than when we reviewed it” before the reveal. Someone figured it out ahead of time !

[@BourbonJunkies]

Larceny and Weller are just completely different animals in this lineup and those twos flavor profiles are just drastically different.

[@thomasstevenson5367]

Congrats on 7k+

[@BourbonJunkies]

Thanks!

[@BourbonJunkies]

Thanks man!

[@johncannon3593]

I was lucky enough to get a Weller's Full Proof for near retail (around $65), and I will attest it is spectacular. I'd probably pay $100 for it. The $400-$500 secondary prices? You probably have brain damage if you pay that. It isn't THAT good.

[@lukewo5067]

Finally found larceny batch A today in vegas for 55 bucks 🙌 thank the bourbon gods. Batch A better than B? Maybe I should go back and get another bottle to horde.

[@neilrichey1998]

We want to know how that mix of 1st place and 2nd place turned out!!!!!! You stopped the video before we saw the results of the mixing of Weller full proof and Larceny barrel proof. :)

[@abcarlson3293]

They talked about it briefly. Dan said something along the lines of "it's not bad." Hahaha! I wish I had enough Weller full proof to blend experimentally LOL!

You can’t find any Weller for under 150, maybe SR for 110

[@ianbroadwater7008]

Do you guys just go around michigan to find all these bottles, is their an online retailer that you trust or, is it god tier connections?

[@BourbonJunkies]

Good connections over the last year have been built and between us and friends a lot of traveling is done though the state.

[@matthewmcnab322]

only one I cant find or have is larceny BP. Love wheaters, thanks for the review. Not sure I would bu horse soldier again, good bottle and want to support them, but for the price I'm not sure about a reordering. Wlw could have been in the flight as well I guess, but it would not have been fair.

[@BourbonJunkies]

WLW is never fair in just about any flight! The larceny will eventually be available in more places though. Cheers!

[@russarneson6333]

What are your top 5 sweetest bourbons

[@LAuren0723]

I miss pretzel Sean.

[@WhiskeyCowboyGaming]

Was this suppose to be a blind tasting? Because it seems clear that the guys knew which was which. Especially at the 13:11 mark , where two are clearly identified as the ones that were liked and to be blended together at the end of the episode.

[@haasformulaonefan9795]

Fast forward to 2022, payday chocolate exists

[@Toolate2024]

Sean bud, great idea to get better microphones but either turn yours down or stop smacking every other second. Once I heard it in your other video I can't stop hearing the smacking noise. Smacking = opposite appealing.

[@pbkayakyer]

Larceny has a barrel proof bourbon?? I need to find some of that!!!

[@BourbonJunkies]

They're increasing the foot print off it, should be as available as ECBP

[@freshman1213]

Hey fellas do you know any good online websites to get weller from

[@BourbonJunkies]

We do not, and if you find it online it's going to cost at least an arm, maybe a leg

How was the Weller/Larceny blend!?!!??

[@RickyX2V]

You guys are ridiculous!!! Lol😂😂,"I get saw dust"..... WHAAAAAAT!!??

[@AM2PMReviews]

People are going to catch on to the goodness of Larceny and then it will be the next Blanton’s which is what happened to Weller. Then no one will have access to it lol or pay 300 per bottle.

I may be dating myself, but they actually used to make chocolate covered Paydays.

[@Posterharpua]

craft whiskies suck 90% of the time. Usually when craft whiskies are actually good it's because it's sourced whiskey from MGP or some other producer. I have yet to be blown away by a new craft distillery's own juice. It's all far too young and way underdeveloped and often far too expensive for what you're getting.

We didn't hate it the first time we had it alone. It falls apart when it gets next to these ones though.
