SEXTON IRISH WHISKEY - TWO MINUTE WHISKEY REVIEW

[@benatkins6673]

I'm a fan of Sexton, it's really what got me into whiskey. The bottle caught my eye, and the taste changed my mind on whiskey.

[@jaybradley809]

Brilliant to hear. It definitely stands out on a shelf so its worked for them and I'm also happy to hear the taste changed your mind on whiskey. Congrats to Alex and the team at Sexton. Changing someone to whiskey is what a lot of us are in this for.

[@jeffstokeley2664]

Same for me as far as the bottle caught my eye. It is a great whiskey.

[@cameroncunningham9033]

I’ve always been a single malt scotch man myself. Recently when in Temple Bar the young blokes behind the bar got me to try Sexton as an alternative. It’s the one that really stays with me from that night. I really like the shorter finish on the palate. I know that is not a normal thing to like in whiskey, but for me at the price I can get a bottle in Australia versus every Scottish single malt, it’s still the cheapest. The only thing that comes close in terms of that is Bushmills Black Bush.I think it’s because Alex worked at Bushmills before heading out on her own to create Sexton. Thanks for the review lads.

[@brianachs5877]

The design of the bottle is the reason I purchased this. Awesome design. Now to try the whiskey.

[@blackwaterblades2098]

Ive been a long time whiskey drinker. Personally I think sexton is an amazing drink for like a daily whiskey. Its affordable but a wonderful taste for the money about like they said. It is definitely one of my favorite go toos for a daily drink

[@richardkoerper1630]

Thank you for your thoughts, I bought a bottle of this tonight and will be enjoying it sometime in the next few days.

[@WhiskeyStraightAl]

I think The Sexton is a cracking wee dram and a great price too. I like the bottle design, but it's a bit of a bugger to pour from! Cheers guys.

[@ericcerna4286]

I just tried it tonight and for $32.99 plus tax in the USA it’s a good deal!

[@diarmaitmcneil]

You can see the whiskey dribbling down the bottle after he poured it in the video. A little messy and wasteful.

[@vio7361]

I just bought a bottle of this for my friend for xmas :D, it completely stood out of the crowd of bottles but I was worried about the quality cuz it was cheaper! Still glad I went with my gut on this one. Can't wait to try it next week! Thank you for the review.

[@thejoshman4883]

I am from the states and i like this because it is diffrenr from the standard irish whiskeys sold here there are really only two jameson and bushmills. Gives a glimpse of diversity and diffrent style not seen in the former

[@benmarnoch4111]

Bought a bottle in Waitrose before Christmas for my ex wife, thinking it was cheap and nasty (no Pun here guys sorry) I was wrong, it's very drinkable, however I do prefer the Slane as a starter Irish with its pot still content and better variety of cask finish. Well done on reviewing some basic whiskies, instead of just the super premium stuff.

[@CraftWhiskeyBoys]

Agreed! Slane was picked up by Mo in Waitrose in our 'best whiskies under £50' video. Cheers!

[@brendonomailia9505]

I bought a bottle of the sexton from my local ABC store...1) i dont like the first few oz gets everywhere...everything else is spot on great body, great evolution on pallet...and the finish kinda lingers after the last sip....keep it guys i love your vids

[@JustRightarmy]

hi guys. im thinking of offering this whiskey as a christmas gift for a friend he really loves jack daniels nº7 do you think he would like this one or do you recommend another one. i want to offer something different. sorry im new to this world.

[@davidgeschke4247]

Great review as always, I can tell you that The Sexton is in fact distilled at Bushmills. I’d love to see you lads review Drumshanbo Inaugural Release.

[@jaybradley809]

Will do David. I'm actually quite keen to try it... Looking to perfect the way to do reviews remotely this week so its on the list

[@Boxxkarr]

I have enjoyed Sexton for a few years now. It has a nice fruity nose, is easy on the finish, and at 80 proof, isn't hot on the throat when sipped neat. I prefer it on the rocks. I would love to try a high proof cask strength, aged in Sherry barrels from Sexton!

[@seanmacgowan616]

You are looking at no more than a sweet cocktail dram in a cool looking bottle. Your score is spot on. Very drinkable. But no big deal.

[@davelee5973]

its easy drinking i found it to be nice and easy to drink

[@Da1Prophessor]

The Sexton was one of my first Whiskey I ventured into and I really enjoyed it as a noob... My palate have now matured however I still go back to The Sexton; it’s an 8/10 for me.

[@gavmackenzie5623]

The bottle is meant to be inspired by the Giant's Causeway. I like the look of it! Cool review.

[@lenanbo1]

My son bought me a bottle of Sextons and now I’m a bit anxious to give it a go... thanks for the review hopefully it lives up it at the least

[@CraftWhiskeyBoys]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@samcampbell6428]

Not related to the review itself, but the phrase "This Corona Virus is gonna be bloody nightmare, I think..." has aged perfectly. Great review, and it gave me some more things to look for in my own bottle of Sexton. Thanks for the information and opinion!

[@WhiskeyCrusaders]

That is a great whiskey for the money and the Irish whiskey that me into drinking Irish whiskey in general. I love the bottle design. It looks sexy sitting on a bar. One of the best values there is in the Irish whiskey category. Great review. Cheers.

[@jaybradley809]

Couldn't agree more... It's rare to get a Single Malt Irish whiskey at that price point. They've done a great job.

[@WhiskeyCrusaders]

@@jaybradley809 its S25 in the US sometimes on sale for 22 you cannot beat the price for the quality that it is.

[@shanedinnigan3240]

Yeah, Sexton's a lovely Irish whiskey. Nice and rich tasting. Any chance you could review Great Oaks? I picked up a bottle and was wondering what others think.

[@DirtToDigital]

Just picked up some today, I must say not bad i like it as much as my gentlemens cut

[@ddreese]

Runs about $28 at Total Wine & More here in Arizona

[@ErikWaitWhiskyStudies]

October 24, 2020 - Comparing notes.... a lot of flavor but it seems kinda thin to me.

[@richardagnew4959]

It's done by Bushmills ... perhaps the bottle design is a hat-tip to the Giant's Causeway columns? :)

[@CraftWhiskeyBoys]

great observation there Richard! Could well be!

[@CraftWhiskeyBoys]

Rate this bottle design!

[@WhiskeyQuests]

Craft Whiskey Boys i give it a 9 for bottle design. It would be a 10 if it didn’t spill on every pour lol

[@szymonbalcer]

The bottle looks like a gin bottle haha

[@WhiskeyCrusaders]

I think the bottle design is awesome. You do have to put your glass to the bottle though otherwise it spills

[@Jeffmylife]

Agreed with Whiskey Quests, would be my favorite bottle if it weren't for the spillage

[@ErikWaitWhiskyStudies]

I'm drinking a dram of Sexton and comparing notes. The bottle dribbles every time I pour from it and spills. It looks cool but functionally the bottle is a poor design. I find the whisky a wee bit weird, very youthful and the finish is somewhat short and granular. I haven't come to any final conclusion about it yet but right now it is just structurally awkward. Probably needs more time in the cask.

[@CraftWhiskeyBoys]

Great review Erik, you should join us some time!

[@brianfitzpatrick691]

The Sexton is nice whiskey especially for the price, can you do a review on the DLD Copper Alley 10 yo Single Malt

[@jaybradley809]

Hey Brian, we will definitely add in Darryl's Copper Alley. Added it to my basket last week so once we can get a video sorted, its on the list. Thanks for the comment

[@zegson9809]

I have this Sexton and i rly like it :) And guys I'd love to see yours Aberlour 12 review ;)

[@jaybradley809]

Hey Zegson. I have a bottle of the Arberlous 16 I was going to review next week... But will order the 12 too and do that as well... Thanks for the comment.

[@zegson9809]

@@jaybradley809 Awsome! :D

[@TheBilge1]

A nice drop will buy again

[@szymonbalcer]

I'm 20 and got into whiskey a year and a half ago and collected around 12 bottles already. I've been watching a lottttt of whiskey channel and lads, you are by far the most entertaining out of them all along with the Whiskey Tribe! Keep doing what you're doing and I believe the larger following will come in time! Regarding whiskey reviews, Sol is gonna love this one... I think a RedBreast 12 vs RedBreast 12 Cask strength would be a good video. I keep trying to find a good comparison and there's none... haha I just finished my RedBreast 12 and wonder if I should go for it again or pick the cask strength that I never tried :D

[@jaybradley809]

Thanks for the compliments. We're still a new channel, so eventually, the youtube algorithm will notice us, lol. Jump into Daniel and Rex's comments and tell them they should do a collab with us once lockdown is over...

I need some of this.

Very smooth whiskey I like

[@jstewardjr]

I'd like a little higher proof, but I like it. Very drinkable.

[@jstewardjr]

I get marshmallow, chocolate and graham cracker, so it's basically a S'more.

[@BillyBombastic]

love the bottle

[@unstoppableneedle]

for someone with adhd and a lot of people have it. i would love if you got to the taste of it a lil quicker. sorry if i’m being a pos rn 😂

[@pcollenyt3683]

The bottle is eye catching, but results in a sloppy pour over the rim, with dribbles down the side and onto the counter top. Decant the elixir, and put the bottle on display above your cupboard.

[@hellper198]

The bottle is reminiscent of Roku gin. 🤔

[@jerebear480]

Do The Knott!

[@plektosgaming]

Alex Thomas worked at Bushmills for 13 years and she went off on her own to make this creation. Bushmills basically freaked out at her striking out on her own and made their own competing product, Black Bush. Except she does it better, being one of their more experienced employees and blenders. It needs a drop of water. Then it tastes like a smoother, better Black Bush and the alcohol comes forward. For $10 less. For the price, amazing. The bottle? Eh... It's a dribbler.

[@xiamengbaby]

I hope you're being sarcastic since Black Bush has been around for decades. Much longer than Alex Thomas has been.

[@plektosgaming]

@@xiamengbaby My understanding is that Alex kind of took the ideas with her when she left/.started her own distillery. In any case, it tastes almost identical for $10 less a bottle.

[@dipteshnaik3711]

Sexton a person who looks after a church and churchyard, sometimes acting as bell-ringer and formerly as a gravedigger.

[@shahralumair2430]

McDowells No.1 ( World most selling whisky )

[@dseal9161]

It's basically made by Bushmills

[@kamilo84w64]

🤯🥃💣🤯

[@chuckandrews5339]

A well made solid whiskey, but quite simple. Bold malt, but not many levels of flavor. Chocolate, coffee, sweet brown sugar.

[@farklestaxbaum4945]

My first Irish Whisky was Jameson, which i hated, this is the complete opposite.

[@jeffstokeley2664]

100,000 for a bottle that is hard to pour.

[@snakeplissken3825]

Drinking it right now,,,bout to fight two of my cousins so it gets a 10.

[@jamesbarnousky1270]

I love this whisky, but it's a bitch to pour lmao

[@connorjackson2973]

Algorithm

[@robfut9954]

The bottle sucks because it makes it VERY HARD to pour a glass without dribbling and wasting whiskey down the side of the bottle... just like you did in the video. Very poorly thought out design. Laughable.

[@sebastianjose1149]

Not good review because they are not serious and talking all kinds of bulll…..s..t
