I got a single barrel Full proof BevMo Select. Let’s say I tried it and went back next day bought 2nd bottle. 🎉

[@DrumsAndDrams]

The single barrels are some of the best picks being released right now IMO. We are heading down to Green River in August to pick one for our Patreon and I couldn’t be more excited!

[@ryanswihart1448]

Had a couple picks of this myself, one also a BevMo one and yeah they’re phenomenal. I definitely backed it up! 🙌🏻

[@keithpetersen560]

I got a BevMo Select myself and it's great.

[@DrumsAndDrams]

@@keithpetersen560 I’ve only ever had great experiences with BevMo picks!

[@vikes7384]

Just picked up one of these a couple of weeks ago for retail ($49). Really a nice pour. Taste a little younger than Rare Breed but a nice alternative to it. Would also hold up well in a cocktail if you wanted a higher proof mixer without breaking the bank.

[@SamFromQueens]

Hey, I am just here to see if your feud continues with the lady from the Scotch video. Love this bottle!

[@DrumsAndDrams]

Hahaha, that’s her feud, not mine 😂

[@SamFromQueens]

@@DrumsAndDrams she's the Fraizer to your Ali. The Steven A, to your Skip Bayless. I love this as an everyday bottle, flavor profile falls some where between Four Roses OESO and EHT SiB for me. Obviously a bit younger.

[@StevenScone]

You and the Bourbon Junkies are 2 different channels. You are more of a informative type and they are more entertainment. I like both formats. So I'm glad you picked this up to give us more info on it.

[@ScottErwin1966]

Great review! So educational for me. I have just opened this and see much of what you talk about. I have a single barrel from them and really find it has a deeper profile with a wonderful mouthfeel.

[@thomasanderson2870]

Green River is definitely doing it Right ✅️ 👌 👍😉🥃 Cheers

[@TheDudeson]

Found this for $47 and immediately snatched it up. Excited to crack this sucker open and enjoy the long weekend.

[@keithpetersen560]

Got a bottle a couple months ago and it's great. It definitely is different, but certainly worth the purchase in the the $50 range.

[@travisrobeson306]

My next daily purchase for sure!

[@MDP84]

$54.95 + tax here in N.C. Haven't opened yet, really expecting it to be a great pour. See how it lands with similar + 50 $ bottles from other distilleries.

[@WadeinWhiskey]

Just picked up a bottle in nky for $42. I plan to crack it tonight

[@DrumsAndDrams]

Lemme know what you think!

[@jeffscalfano3100]

I hope this rocks... i just bought mine tonight. Mine was $44.

[@DrumsAndDrams]

Let me know what you think!

[@BourbonUnited]

Hey Cam, like the quality of your cinematography. What camera 🎥 and mic 🎙️ do you use ? Starting Pod here in Louisiana and looking for some advice equipment wise. Thanks Also love the Green River FP and the FP picks, we did a pick at the New Orleans Bourbon Festival with GR. Great people!!!

[@davester3090]

Unfortunately it was way too hot for me. And even with a lot of ice it just burnt my tongue and the only way I can see it in my collection is to add it to some of my “ too low proof “ to appreciate.

[@BuffaloBourbonEnthusiasts]

Unfortunately, I agree with you. A subscriber gave me a sample and I thought it was ok. It was hot for the proof point and that heat overshadowed the flavors for me. Maybe if have a ton of bottles already, then I would purchase it. It is nothing that I would choose as a pour, but I wouldn't refuse it if someone offered me a pour of it.

[@garrettlathan2306]

I get a slight plastic note from all of their stuff but especially this one. It’s hard for me to get past. I think it’s where the tropical notes and the grapefruit ones come together.

[@shmoo1000]

Ann Arbor native here. Just wondering which store, AL wine castle or tippins?

[@DrumsAndDrams]

A&L!

[@duffman9908]

Hot take. Green River/Bardstown has become more in my wheelhouse than Saz juice.

[@DrumsAndDrams]

I could totally see that. I’m excited to see what GR and BBCo tastes like at 10+ years old!

[@adamhyman2625]

Brooo I got one for $32 haven’t cracked it yet but can’t wait!

[@jdickinson1977]

You can't expect a barrel proof bourbon to be perfect at $50? Rare Breed would like to speak with you.

[@DrumsAndDrams]

Rare Breed be slippin’ these days… *enter Green River*

[@jdickinson1977]

@@DrumsAndDrams 🤣 it’s all yours.

[@philbergman2885]

Love mine as well. Went back and bought 3 more 😂

[@kamahhl]

Nah Rare Breed is a bit rough around the edges. Still good and great value but far from perfect.

[@brettheiner7125]

It’s good, but overly bright to be - prefer dark and thick.

[@billcaffrey2672]

I liked the new full proof GR way better than a single barrel bottle that I found.

[@DrumsAndDrams]

That’s interesting! I will say the picks I’ve had from GR have ranged quite a bit, but I’d still prefer them over the FP shelfer. Either way, both are ridiculously good values!

[@billcaffrey2672]

@@DrumsAndDrams I will have to try another SB! Love your channel.
