Which one do you like more? Is there a single barrel you like better than these two?

[@daftcask]

Thank you for being yelled at for our educational purposes 😂

[@krolson74]

Both is the correct answer for these two.

[@MrFreethinkin]

I just wanted to add that warehouse G and H are not heat cycled and the barrels are presumed to be older than those from B,I,J,K and L.

Hi David. I’ve had the Russells and really enjoyed it. I’m looking forward to tasting the Old Forester. Cheers!

[@TroyfromBakerDrinks]

Great review, i love both of those bottles! Cheers!🥃

The Big Fundamentals vs The Black Mamba is appropriate comparison. For me it is preference if you like the OF profile get the OF and vice versa. For me if I have to choose one it would be OF based on availability. OF is harder to get than Russell’s in my area. When they do come in it is a mad dash. Buy first then face wrath of wife.

Nose is my favorite.

Great comparison David. I do really like the Russell’s Reserve Private Barrel store picks, but I have 5 bottles of the Old Forester Single Barrel Barrel Strength and will pick one or two up every time I find it. If I could only buy one, it would be OF SBBS. Thankfully, I can buy both 😀🥃

Old Forester SiB are unreal. I never pass one up.

Good diagram for showing heat cycle warehouse. No other channels show it. Good job.

[@MSSynsyterGates]

The total wine near me has the Old Forrester at 130.4 proof and it is fantastic

[@VicKinikin]

🤣 I would gladly get yelled at for those two bottles! I love your dedication to the channel, dropping dollars and garnering scorn! 😂

David,

[@MrRonmjones]

Just bought the Old Forester. Looking forward to trying it. Have not had the Russell yet either.

[@r.ramos7]

Cheers

[@karl0318]

Thank you for the detailed review!!

[@MichaelBortner-qk4zl]

I would be happy with either😎🥃

[@TheReal_DeanD]

Holy hot damn I just realized this David. With your editing style you’re going to be able to transition to ad reads super smoothly. When the big channel growth happens and you get sponsored you can put ad reads in between topics. You could insert an ad read at

I just picked up the Russel’s Reserve VA ABC pick.The Old Forester is great but a little hot for my taste. This heads up was great!
