For low-budget bourbons, Elijah Craig, Buffalo Trace, and Woodford Reserve are my favourites. As for high-budget bourbons, I should tell that I don't have enough experience about them ; I'd rather buying scotch whiskys when it comes to high-priced bottles since i'm not a bourbon guy. Nonetheless, I 'd prefer bourbon to the rest of whisky types, such as Japanese whiskys, some of which are overpriced and some are overrated. Greetings from Turkey. Slainte!

I really liked sazerac the first few bottles I bought. Then the third bottle had a medicinal taste to it that I couldn't stand. I'm not sure if it was just a bad bottle or my taste has changed. I pass by it for 27 bucks all the time, I'll have to try a pour of it again somewhere before I buy a whole bottle.

I always enjoy seeing where I agree and disagree with light whisk(e)y drinkers and this was no exception. Totally agree with you on Russell's Reserve (and the others you mentioned passing over in that range), Bardstown, Stagg Jr., Yellow Spot, and Redbreast. We totally disagree in that I absolutely love scotch (the peatier and smokier the better) and on the other hand think that the best use for ryes is degreasing engine parts. If don't mind peat and like cask finishes one of my go to scotches is Ardbeg Uigeadail and I'd suggest giving it a try. When it comes to Irish whiskey in addition to those you mentioned try to find a bottle of Jameson Cooper's Croze or one of the Writer's Tears varieties. I don't know what all you've had in Japanese whisky but I didn't find the Hibiki Harmony (or the widely available Suntory Toki) all that interesting. Yamazaki 12 is far better IMO and if you can find some Taketsuru 17 Pure Malt it is fantastic, as is the Monsho Peated Pure Malt. It's all personal preference in the end though, cheers!

@slbdrinks 3 жыл бұрын
Yes it is! Fantastic recommendations and I love your explanation of rye whiskeys lol! I do have the Uigeadail and enjoy it immensely from time to time. I am most interested in your Japanese recommendations. I have to check into those! I do have the Yamazaki 12 which I find very good as well!

You have a very deep pocket old man, cost doesnt seem to matter much…so add Yamazaki 18y to your collection to widen your Japanese taste buds. Macallans, Springbanks and Bowmore 18yrs should be easy reach for you..nice collection to put them on your shelf. Dont waste your space with them bourbons, although I would admit I like Lock Stock and Barrel 18y..good stuff that is!

OF Rye is fantastic. I tastes like a malty sweet bourbon to me with very little rye spice. I like Stagg Jr, but honestly prefer Elijah Craig Barrel Proof most of the time. Too much cherry flavor in the Stagg Jr for me. My favorite Japanese is Nikka From the Barrel for somewhat available ones. You have very good taste in whiskey and are honest about the availability of them.

Another very good video. Years ago I tried both Jack and Jim Beam and did not like either and thought that was what all bourbons tasted like and becoming a big fan of Crown Royal I am just now staring to try different types of Bourbon so I am fairly new so I appreciate being able to listen to more experienced bourbon drinkers. I agree with you that it does seem to be a lot of great choices right around $50 so it must have been hard picking them. I have tried some Scotch including 3 different Glen Fiddich which were all good and 2 were very good. The thing I find with Scotch is that it appears you have to pay at least $70 to get it as good as a $50 bottle of Bourbon.

I like the editing humor in this video.. but didn't call him out for saying Stag Jr was 132 PERCENT, and kept referring to proof as alcohol percentage after that.. what a missed opportunity.. lol

This guy's fun to listen to, but he really should try Julius Kessler's American whisky. It's cheap and just as advertised--"Smooth as Silk." Tastes vary among individuals and he may not like it as I do, but in my book it beats all the expensive ones.

Love the video… I’m in the minority, but I just don’t enjoy the Early Times BiB. Tastes generic to me, with barely any nose. Much prefer WT 101, Old Forester 100, Larceny, and EW BiB at that price point.
