Bourbon Junkies Revisit EH Taylor Small Batch

[@bobbalkovec]

I'm glad you guys stepped up your wardrobe game.

[@jakechesney5217]

Life before INTO THE AM! 🤣

[@edmadam1]

I literally have this exact same Black Adidas basketball shorts and they’re at least from 2008 😂

[@Jeepmen103]

If you do this type of video again, pause the older video, make the comments, then continue the order video. Watching along it great, as long as the audio volumes allow for each to be comprehensible.

[@jheffernan13]

Was about to make the same comment. 🙂 Watching on TV and it’s just kinda chaotic when you’re all talking at the same time.

[@mplayne]

Yes like a YT reaction vid to music

[@Russellguitar13]

​@@jheffernan13 You want to follow both past and present, but it's hard to do when there is talking in both. It's not a put down, just constructive criticism...

[@takashiemota9784]

Everyone in the comments are not fans of "Mystery Science Theater 3000"

[@davevogelsang6791]

Have picked 5 of the the EH Taylor small batch this year for $49.99 each and 3 of the EH Taylor Single Barrel for $69.99 each. Love them both. 🥃

[@charlymiller]

It is amazing how little you changed in general behavior and style over the years. And that is a compliment. Put these two guys in other pants and setting plus better audio and a hair cut for Dan, and this could be from last week 😅

[@timevans312]

We need more of these throwback videos 🥃

[@justina.6769]

I'll 2nd that because it is always fun looking back and wonder what the hell was I thinking at that time 🤣

[@johncellona8133]

This confirms my growth as a bourbon taster. My buddy and I cracked open a bottle of Taylor small batch a couple of months ago and I said that it has a faint odor of nail salons. But not in an off putting way.

[@jeffreyrollins3915]

Man you guys have come a long way. I remember watching these old videos when you started thinking they were pretty good. Now it’s funny

[@docmillerjd]

The wardrobe…the hair…the “studio”…straight from 2000. Lol happy you guys have been able to do this and grow it. Love watching you guys. Keep it up.

[@jmartinez4460]

I wouldn’t mind paying $100 for this if the distillery go a bigger portion but the msrp is $40 and the “Stores” charge whatever they can get for it. That’s what aggravates me.

[@jjfader1]

Love this throw back. I like to hear about some of the good old times of whiskey. Asking now if you would pay $60-$80, but using it's only $40 and what if it was $30-$40 range as an argument.

[@danworthington]

EHTSM one of my favorite things I have on my shelf

[@No.social.media-1974]

I JUST bought this for $80 on Saturday. It's worth it. The "expert" opinion from you 2 is apprecaiated.

[@gabrielisiordia2123]

I'll pay that every time for it.

[@StantonCole]

I bought one for $110 secondary b/c I couldn't find it for over a year, then a couple weeks ago picked one up in CA for $45. Love the EHT!

[@LeatherDaddy97]

You and i have very different ideas of worth it lol. Glad you were happy with your buy though

[@grcfan]

Just picked one up in CA for $70 today. Easily the cheapest I've seen it in the short amount of time I've been into bourbon. Super happy with it so far!

[@No.social.media-1974]

@@grcfan I’ve since had the opportunity to visit the Buffalo Trace Distillery gift shop. Paying the $45 retail feels so good.

[@joesullivan2285]

Those shorts, Dan. We had that wallpaper in our son's room when he was about four. I'll say you wore it better than the wall did, you fashion maven.

[@yourhuckleberry7480]

Like the throwback review format. Love EHT Small Batch. Can’t hardly keep a bottle around when I have one.

[@jasono.1629]

Always nice to revisit a bottle after years of more drinking experience.

[@Bourbonsouth47]

Loved the old videos! Dan always looked pretty fresh off a hangover lol

[@nrmower]

I've wanted some of my favorite Whiskeytubers to do this very thing. I love the idea of reevaluating an older bottle then going back through the archives and critiquing and comparing. Well done, bungholes

[@hyseptu1733]

Enjoy this format as well!! Would like to ask you pause the video playback when you’re making comments.. its like getting strong Dan/Sean feedback while trying to separate the voices. Love the channel and thats coming from a longtime fan!

[@effwardangerston8034]

You said it!!! LOVE this format but damn it's difficult to hear what they are saying while the old video is playing in the background! CHEERS!!!!!

[@fatherpuck]

One of the best bangs for my buck I have in my cabinet. Got two for $45, so freaking good

[@CharleyCarey]

I wish this wasn't so hard to find. Saturday I found Buffalo Trace at my local Binny's for the first time ever. Last bottle on the shelf. I generally don't drink bourbon under 100 proof but I couldnt' pass up the chance.

[@OldFashionedWays]

That is a sweet throwback video. Cool to see the growth. cheers

[@jonathanatocha6825]

A. Holy blue run....B. you guys did work on that WLW....C. EHT is sooooooo crushable!

[@CharleyCarey]

I'd be afraid to go through WLW too fast. I'd have to hide that bottle and bring it out every few months lol

[@DavidBurkett-x5d]

I have 2 bottles of EHT small batch being elevated to EH RIO! 1 bottle in a mini barrel that had honey in it, and 1 bottle with 1/3 of a Amburana spiral in it !! Blend to come soon!!

[@dfarrar23]

Fun to watch the present vs the past...that is why they call it a gift (wait, what?)...I just was gifted with a bottle of Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch 1st and Only BinB which brought me hear to see your review(s)....it was very good and I would definitely say better than a C+ or B- . Thank you for sharing. Agree, that Eagle Rare is a more robust bourbon. Also Eagle Rate is easier for me to acquire in CT.

[@Michael-tv5nq]

One of my favorite bourbons, just wish I could find it, have one bottle now and have to treat it like gold.

[@morebeer7673]

I found one bottle of this about a year ago in Houston. Been slowly working on it. Never seen a bottle since. It's pretty good. I think I paid about $47 for it.

[@coreystewart3204]

Just got my first one today for 43 before tax 🤙 I'm pumped

[@wrestleshute]

I was getting these 2 years ago, right around the time I started watching your channel, for $36. This was my everyday whiskey. then they started just gouging and never bought it again. Until last week when I found another local shop that had to for $60. Friday night I lit a cigar and drank about a third of the bottle. Soooo gooood

[@irishsausage6]

How timely as this was the "special" bottle available at Buffalo Trace yesterday! I was so happy to get a couple bottles of it on my first visit to BT.

[@johnm.1837]

Going for $150 northwest IN

[@biggsmikes1930]

Finally found a bottle here in Dallas! I really enjoyed it!

[@jeremyenglehart3910]

TMNT shirt made MANY appearances in your early years 😂

[@thelupishow]

Drank this while I watched your video. Def agree on the apple and cherry notes, and sweetness. Also the finish while pretty shot does have a nice sweetness and a bit of a baking spice note. Never got the Oak you spoke about in the original review. Also Agree this is way above a c-. Fun to look back at your old vids and see how far you've come.

[@mattcarter4690]

Wow! your vids are SO much better now.

[@BourbonJunkies]

Lmao I'm glad they didn't get worse 🤣

[@RobertMichaelStewart]

Cherry pie and vanilla ice cream.... I paid $45 in Colorado.... Yummy stuff to me! ❤

[@arbeckWA]

It seems to be $99 in Washington now. There's three bottles at my grocery store right now. It's just not worth that price.

[@LeatherDaddy97]

Yeah id never pay that for a taylor

[@roninunrefined1637]

If I’m out and really wanted it $100 is acceptable for me even tho I pay retail for it which is $50. It’s my favorite bottle of all time so overpaying for me is fine because I know what it tastes and it’s worth for me in my life. Hopefully everyone can find that one bottle for them that just seduces your palate every time.

[@aaronatkins5520]

Love the throw back haha. Deff would go to 60 on this one on my favorite summer time pool time pours . Great video I like the re review videos. Cheers guys.

[@yanksrule311]

Got lucky last night. Walked into a local liquor store and got a bottle of EHT small batch for $51.49.

[@nfeltham]

I really love this concept, and I hope you do more. I do think you need a solution for the audio issue - it was too hard to hear/understand. Maybe pause the original video so you can talk for 10-15 secs, then let it play again till you have another thought?

[@stevegellas7869]

Forgot about the music overlay. Like it!

[@OakvilleKGB]

Saw one for $129.99 today and did not even think about it...Blanton's for $199.99 with Buffalo Trace for $54.99 and Eagle Rare for $89.99...Went with 2XO The Innkeeper's Blend for $99.99

[@gregpeck7281]

I picked this bottle up for $51 a couple of weeks ago. It's the only one I've ever seen in person. I dont really want to open it until I find a backup. E.h. taylor small batch that is.

[@tjarr311]

Very interesting and entertaining video. I have to say, I do enjoy the improvements over the years in quality, sets, equipment, and review styles. Great job fellas.

[@guychampion8255]

I had gone back myself and watched some of these old videos and I have enjoyed them a lot. I agree with the comments about pausing the audio to hear your thoughts as it was hard to follow, other than that this was great.

[@camashbritt80]

I live in south Ga and EH Taylor small batch is going for $150!! It's insane!!

[@TheNightAngel022189]

My staple bottle! Try to keep a couple in the house for myself and for trades!

[@joestarke1357]

Found a makers BEP today and while I was there they had an allocated table limit 1 per. I’ve been trying to get any EHT for a long time. They had probably 10 small batch 5 straight rye and one single barrel. But I passed on them all for a Stagg. Hope to find an EHT again soon

[@LeatherDaddy97]

Stagg is the right choice there imo

[@joenovak6393]

I picked 1 up in February and I did not like it but, after 3 months I had retasted, and this is Very Good.

[@the_bourbon_mill]

Rock Hill Farms is D'Shizznit, guys! My son finally swapped for one, and I'm still holding out hope to get one ...eventually. EHTSB is pretty legit, as is ER.

[@AdamShelton007]

I think I'd rather have a Kentucky Spirit over EHT Small Batch considering they're the same price in my market. Similar availability since I only see them twice a year.

[@LeatherDaddy97]

Yeah me too

[@PartyRockProfessional]

EH Taylor Small Batch is still an absolute banger at $60 and that’s 50% over retail. Absolutely wild

[@ahoneyman]

Most places online it's $120-130. Or you can get the EH Taylor full lineup bundle for a cool $43,000.

[@LeatherDaddy97]

Idk man 60 bucks is a hard pass for me. Always depends on the person

[@ahoneyman]

@@LeatherDaddy97 For 60 bones I'd get the Knob Creek 12 year. That's my jam in that price bracket.

[@LeatherDaddy97]

@@ahoneyman yeah that or a rare breed, and if im comparing rare breed knob creek 12, and knob creek single barrel to eh taylor, eh taylor doesnt stand a chance. It isnt close.

[@ahoneyman]

@@LeatherDaddy97 Never tried Rare Breed. Was always meh toward WT 101. More of an Evan Williams BIB guy.

[@justina.6769]

You 2 are nailing it with the sponsors. So far I've wanted to buy stuff and try stuff that you have shown 👍

[@johnhicks8626]

I wish 1980s/1990s Old Taylor still existed.

[@michaeltillbrook9782]

Cinnamon and sugar are what I always find as the dominant flavors.

[@echofps1054]

I definitely don't get those notes on my bottle of EH Taylor Small Batch hahaha. I wish mine tasted like what you're explaining haha. I get funky Raisins hardcore on the nose with a little bit of apple and light fruits unique sandalwood of sorts. Taste of oak, cherry, vanilla, and darker fruits. Definitely one of my least favorite buffalo trace products. I am hoping it's a one off bad bottle.

[@LeatherDaddy97]

Id definitely agree mostly weird grape and apple. Still one of my preferred bt products but with my opinions/taste thats not saying much.

[@patrickgarrison7640]

I just grabbed my first bottle of this for $51. Did a little research and found it to be aged 7 yrs.

[@skillet4068]

That chin beard is timeless.

[@RustyShakleford01]

Dan is like a cross between Vincent D'Onofrio and Vince Vaughn. Hunk alert!

[@TheNewRevolution]

Nothing says "Bourbon Expert" more than a Ninja Turtles T-shirt with tight shorts.

[@jonathanbluhm4765]

Kind of on this topic, but have you guys ever reviewed the EHT Straight Rye? I find that to be one of my top rye whiskies. A consistent banger even if priced a bit high or unfindable at times.

[@ragequit42]

Old Dan on that Little Cesar's preworkout 😅

[@tinytinytimyall]

I’ve always gotten a chemical note in small batch. It’s gone on single barrel and barrel proof

[@namrocknamrock371]

Just got some Eagle Rare at Sam’s Club for $24.99!!! It begs the question though: Why is E.H.T more expensive when it is clearly younger than ER? It can’t be the 10 proof points, can it?

[@seandankers4394]

Dan was a butterchugs and Sean looks actually bigger back then LOL

[@bourbonapprentice]

I’ve been here since then. Still here

[@lukstephens1]

"Have we even said a tasting note yet?" - Sean .................some things never change

[@ihartwine]

Thank god you got better mics and now only shoot waist up! Still love the EH though.

[@adrastos123]

Jus found some at a mega bev in battle creek

[@JaredKattner]

I got acetone on JD12 the first pour but it's gone now. I wonder if its fresh crack related? Like highest concentration of ethanol fumes.

[@MurcielagoAI]

EHT sb is $120 all over my state. I grab it at 80 every time.

[@1mocast421]

Come a long boys. Great job!

[@LeatherDaddy97]

Its fine, one of the better bt products to me. My issue with taylor is the same as most other bt products in my experience which is that its pretty bland and outclassed by other less expensive and more findable bottles to me. I think benchmark full proof is better and its easier to get and half the msrp. Over $45 theres just too many things id buy first. I think c was the right call. C is average.

[@jamesleswing6803]

From dorks to Beavis and butt head , but best out there to date.

[@mizaeldiaz8325]

Working out is overrated boys !! Cheers 🥃

[@Dafoodmaster]

Took me a while but i found it in europe for around 80. It's nice, but i don't know if it's my profile. Don't get much of the fruit (did at first, wonder how that works?) Can't find single barrel for under 190 and that's too rich for me.

[@kevinkrzyzan3649]

we got ourselves a new series!!!

[@jdickinson1977]

Dan still wears that shirt! 😂

[@mplayne]

Thankfully, I'm a newer fan just kidding love to content fellas

[@adityasane]

Yes, EHT SmB is "rare" but the C+ grade is spot on... it's a decent Bourbon; nothing to get too excited about I'm just amazed how 🥔s sprout out of nowhere when EHT bottles are on any store's shelves 😄

[@LeatherDaddy97]

C+ was the right call

[@jp5fens]

Did Dan have a pillow under his shirt?

[@Jay_Aitch82]

Ahhh memories 😊

[@ReverseProof]

It's a very good bottle if you can find it. I'd go as high as $80.

[@loveandlight8286]

Wish i could try it there just none aanywhere

[@joeydouken1292]

😂 C....minus. I love this idea for videos. Homerun as usual

[@davidlittle6621]

If your objective was to get a good laugh, you succeeded! 😂

[@johndelawder5083]

I just had it last night for the first time i think it smells great but drinks hotter than a 100 proof

[@jolkraeremeark6949]

Had a bottle this last weekend. To me, this drinks to, at most, 90 proof. Really like this bottle.

[@effwardangerston8034]

MY DUDES.... you've GOT TO PAUSE the video if you're going to talk over it. Nearly IMPOSSIBLE to hear what you're saying.. and after all THAT is the CURRENCY you're dealing with.. being able to hear what you're saying. LOVE YOU GUYS AS ALWAYS!!! CHEERS!!!!!!!

[@nickwinton]

Black shirt floating on the right .... thank God the background isn't white anymore 😂😂🤣

[@jonbradley2920]

It’s just a great classic bourbon

[@muriloninja]

$130 market right now, just pulled one in for $128 w/ tax!

[@ericpfister3348]

"How much we have grown" Grown up, or grown old? Because, you've certainly got one of them down. #teamsean

[@hikinginidaho]

I like the format. You might consider pausing the old video periodically and saving commentary. I found it hard to follow the conversation when current you's was talking over old you's.

[@hockeysamurai]

So if you'd consider it at $80... Would you buy it for $100 if you'd never owned a bottle?

[@charleshancock9958]

I like the idea of the throwback video. I feel like I’ve seen a few other Chanel’s do it, however…. I felt like that was very chaotic. Could you at a minumum do a PIP so we know when the present you is talking, or pause and cut the video for your comments and continue. Between the old review, the music, and the commentary it was just hard to follow

[@stacysoliday7396]

It's 80 Chicagoland

[@richmcelmeel5430]

Imagine the young version looking at you all now...

[@M6transam]

7 months later and it’s over 100 it most places.

[@willroddy86]

Is pour guesses done now?

[@darrellknight4110]

Was it done on 4th of July lol

[@frankmastromauro5630]
