✨BOURBONS + WHISKIES NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY / And Ones You Should Buy Instead

[@Manbearpig80-re8vi]

Great video, love that you put an alternative for each bottle that isn’t worth the money.

[@ArtfullyBourbon]

Thanks for watching. Cheers.

That rd one is a mood thing for me…most of the time, it’s a no for me, but I had it when it’s cold outside, and enjoyed (also pretty fun in a Manhattan or a Fall Back)

[@ArtfullyBourbon]

We have yet to try it in a cocktail. We should. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

I paid $60 for the RD1 Amburana and I like it. It's definitely a niche product though that's not meant to be drank regularly. I do a half pour of it and only for my last pour of the night because it's a palate killer.

[@ArtfullyBourbon]

$60 is a little better. Still not a fit for our palates. Might try it in a cocktail or after dinner drink to see how it pairs. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

[@mitchellland]

I don't know about the RD1 Amburana, but I like the Withered Oak Amburana (1220 Spirits - which also happens to be local). It's great in a cocktail.

[@ArtfullyBourbon]

We’ll need to compare. It’s gotta be cheaper than $70 to use in a cocktail, right? Cheers.

[@MichaelVanKorn]

Great video guys! 🍻

[@ArtfullyBourbon]

Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers. 🥃

[@StillLivinginthewoods]

Considering how much cheaper RD One Amburana is compared to other amburana finished whiskies, I'd says it's a good buy. I can see why it sits on the shelf though too. I never drink more than one pour of the stuff myself, because amburana is not something I'm going to drink all night, regardless of the brand.

[@ArtfullyBourbon]

Not trying to pick on RD1. Not worth it for the price in our opinion. Seems like a trend that won’t last. But maybe it will? Cheers.

[@57burnetto]

Love that you 'dare' to put over-priced/hyped in their place.., and offer an alternative. So many whiskeytubers suck up way too much to Big Bourbon.

[@ArtfullyBourbon]

No sucking up here. Thanks for watching. Cheers. 🥃

[@curetiamhices289]

The KC 9 single barrel reserve 120 proof is always on my shelf. So good!

[@ArtfullyBourbon]

With you on this. Can we say underrated? Cheers.

[@umami0247]

All of this is palate driven and I can see where you’re coming from. Just saw a review on the Knob creek 10 rye and they loved it. But everyone is different and I’m a big KC fan so if I see the 10 I’ll get it. Now any finished stuff I’m out for the most part just really not a finished guy. Most are just to sweet. I prefer bold and spicy hence why I like rye’s.

[@ArtfullyBourbon]

Try it. We were disappointed but you are correct, it depends on palate. We are big KC fans and we both picked the 7 year in a blind. Cheers.

[@rpredl]

Good content and very artsy video.

[@ArtfullyBourbon]

Thanks for watching. Cheers. 🥃

[@NateW-e4h]

I totally agree on the Saz Rye. I have wanted to try the RD one but balked at the price. FYI... The High West Cask collection finished in rum barrels was a miss for me. I wish I would of just spent the extra money and just bought the Angel's Envy Rye finished in rum barrels instead.

[@ArtfullyBourbon]

We tried the High West Rum and would agree. Surprised by the Chardonnay. Angel’s Envy Rye is one of our favorite finished pours. So good. Cheers.

[@desertq81]

Good video fellas. Agree with most but have to disagree on The Jury....it is pretty damn good!....and $115.

[@ArtfullyBourbon]

We’ll give it another go. Cheers. 🥃

[@clintdegen]

Rd1 is amazing, you are nuts.

[@ArtfullyBourbon]

We’ll leave it on the shelf for you. 😂 Cheers.

[@ThOoRcLeS]

The high west is such an under appreciated bottle. I have the cab finished one, and it holds up to the other more expensive finished whiskeys like mwnd.

[@ArtfullyBourbon]

High West is doing some great stuff. Underrated if you ask us. Cheers. 🥃

[@COOPERS_COACH_WORKS]

Big fan of the knob Creek single barrel! Knob Creek rye however just isn't enough ride for me. Seems kind of out of balance. Great video guys I agree with most of your selections. At the right time I do think rd1 is pretty good stuff though. Kind of an after-dinner kind of deal.

[@ArtfullyBourbon]

Knob Creek 10 seemed really out of balance for us. Not enough flavor variation. Maybe we try RD1 after dinner and see if it changes our mind. Cheers.

[@blakeparthenay3049]

Good pick on the Knob Creek 9 120 proof, but I am finding that I enjoy the regular 9 year more at 100 proof. The Single Barrel is a HOT sumbitch' for only being 120 proof. So many other bottles I have had in the proof range drink a little smoother, but still give you a little Kentucky burn. I would still like to get a bottle of the Jack Bonded Rye to try out, probably to mostly use in cocktails like you suggest. But I also find myself using the Knob Creek 9 year for that as well-also at 100 proof and a similar ~30-35$ price point.

[@ArtfullyBourbon]

The 120 proof KC will vary. We’ve had a proofy one but most are pretty good. The JD bonded rye is surprising good. Recommended. Cheers. 🥃

[@johnmuffler1695]

Honestly I've never had your 2-4 picks lol. I don't mind Saz Rye, since I can get it for below msrp locally. I actually liked High n Wicked The Jury, but I also got mine for 50 bucks so i can't complain lol

[@ArtfullyBourbon]

We wouldn’t complain about a $50 Jury either. That’s a deal. Thanks for watching. Cheers.

[@thomasanderson2870]

I'd rather have my old JB pre-prohibition rye over that Sazerac rye ANY DAY and it's less than $20 👍 Cheers 🥃😉

[@ArtfullyBourbon]

+2 here. Cheers. 🥃

[@vwr32jeep]

The RD1 Amburana is one of my wife’s favorite bourbons. I think it’s “ok”. Constructive criticism time: I have a hard time watching your channel without putting the playback speed on 1.25 😂. Pick up the pace a bit!

[@ArtfullyBourbon]

Thanks for watching. We are a work in progress. Cheers.
