[@wrothgar]

I really have been wanting to try 1792, I'm younger, 26. I just started working a liquor store over Christmas and have consumed so much knowledge, I found my love for Bourbon through my father who knows so much. It's so nice seeing all the allocated bottles we get that most people may not even see in their lifetime. We've had some really amazing bottles come through, like a Pappy 20 year, we have a 12 year right now, some Blanton's, EH Taylor and a bunch more. We actually were very blessed to recently be given a Single Barrel Buffalo Trace, we bought the whole barrel. We also have a 114 Proof Oak & Eden single barrel that is to die for, so smooth and beautiful. And for a new pallet, I really am liking the 114, surprised I enjoy it after all the videos and knowledge I've gained, apparently most people work their ways up. Right now the strongest I've had is a 125 proof, looking forward to see what my future will bring. Thank you for this video, subscribed and liked! God Bless.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Sounds like a fun job. It's been my experience that anytime you gain knowledge in a field you appreciate that field more. Cheers!

[@pcalternatives]

Very nice review and two very nice people, I enjoyed this!

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Thanks! It's so nice to have my sister on with me. Cheers!

[@TheReal_DeanD]

I’ve been told at my local Total Wine that representatives come in with samples from the single barrels available, and there is a total wine tasting committee. They all taste and then put in their selection for which barrel, and then it gets chosen. Then after all the labeling gets applied and bottle ends up in store.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Good information to know. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

[@davebenson8547]

[@whiskeyisajourney]

The giveaway is a go. I'm starting to accept entries on any video in May. I have my sister for the rest of the episodes of sip or skip in May.

[@mary-bridgetfasciano9970]

Thank you! It's fun to shoot with him when our schedules line up! Cheers!

[@WhiskeyCurious]

So nice to meet Mary Bridget 🙂. 1792 small batch is my favorite sipper (this week). Two hours ago I walked away from a single barrel full proof offered for $48. Single barrels worry me. Blending can pull some levers to make corrections. I think I'll keep waiting for a BiB or a cask strength small batch (if there is such a thing). For now just keep loving the standard small batch.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Sounds like a plan. The full proof bottle I have is not so bad. Maybe that could be your CS?

[@LiveiLLogic]

Some wise words here with many small batch offerings vs. single barrel pick variation. It’s kind of like, if you want to pull the slot machine lever and knowing that potential outcomes or keeping your wallet close and going home early.

[@hoslogistics]

From Surprise, AZ: love the sibling chemistry. 1792 is on my list.

Great video, Peter and Mary Bridgette! Always enjoy your videos together! At $40, lately, I feel like Makers Cask Strength is pretty solid!

[@whiskeyisajourney]

You will be happy to know Mary-Bridget will be with me for the Sip It or Skip It episodes in June. The videos are already shot and in the queue to be released. I am even trying to get her involved with some Monday and Friday videos as well.

[@steveh3836]

At the $40 price range, Knob Creek 9 has to be in the lineup in my opinion. Thanks for the video!

[@whiskeyisajourney]

I was thinking the same thing. Either that or the Eagle Rare 10, but availability I would put the Knob Creek 9 over it.

[@hedgeymcgee3079]

As a new bourbon drinker, I’d love to see a flight of $40 bourbons. Love the video with the both of you in it.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

I will start to compile a list of my $40 bourbons and see what I can get out next month. My sister is great! I wish she would have more time to be on the channel.

[@mary-bridgetfasciano9970]

I’m excited about a flight of $40 bourbons as well. Hopefully Peter will let me film that with him!!

[@chriskellas2902]

A giveaway would be great if it's a single malt scotch, I don't care too much for bourbons, It's nice to see your sister, she bring a great dynamic to the show. Although I have not tried the 1792 I did get a Eagle Rare 10 and Elijah Craig BP for about 40 bucks which I like a lot.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Well, I will have 10 single malts covered in May and my Frist Friday Flight Fight starts off the month of June with a flight of GlenDronach. I will try to have a good balance of all the different types of whisk(e)y I have in my collection each month so it resonates with people.

[@chrisnorris3834]

I have been wanting to try 1792 but wasn’t sure which offering to go for. Now I do! Yes, a blind of your favorite 40 ish $ bottles would be great. Me, I have been drinking bourbon less than a year and have only tried at most a dozen different bottles. My 3 favorites so far are all at the $40 mark. 1. Russell’s Reserve 10 year 2. Knob Creek 9 year 3. Redwood Empire Pipe Dreams. I want to try Bardstown Origin series and Greenriver that are at that $40 sweet spot. A local Costco (Alabama) has Wild Turkey Rare Bread for $42. That is a killer price but have not picked one up yet. I have been sitting on a Knob Creek 12 year for at least three months and it is Super hard to find in Alabama. It is the only “expensive to me” bottle I have. I happened to have finally opened it last night. Of course it is my new favorite. Oh, I am excited to try to win some of your monthly samples. A great way to try new stuff.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Knob Creek 12 is a fantastic bottle along with the Redwood Empire. I'd say you are off to a great start. Everything you mentioned are solid bottles. Cheers!

[@TheReal_DeanD]

My favorite go to $40 Bourbon is 4 Roses single barrel.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

That bottle is too hit or miss with me.

[@ScottW4631]

Great video. I am a fan of 1792 BIB. I am currently sipping on a 1792 North Carolina store pick. My go to $40 picks are: Eagle Rare, Russell’s Reserve 10 year, wild Turkey Rare Breed, Four Roses single barrel, and Michter’s bourbon.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Thanks! It's a good lineup you have. Very consistent with a lot of other people's list.

[@eviltrain24]

Hard to say as I don’t have too many in that price range. If we are talking $35 to $45, at this point, it VERY recently became EH Taylor Small Batch. In descending order after that, Four Roses SmB, Bardstown BiB Origin, Eagle Rare. Another one could be Balcones Lineage. Balcones Rye could be a contender (and I’m NOT a rye fan).

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Oh man that Balcones Rye is a very interesting bottle. I like it, but most people don't.

[@jasongower]

This 1792 bottled in bond is great. Though, I've had a Specs pick (TX) that was better than the Total Wine pick. One of my go-to bottles at the price. Cheers!

[@TheReal_DeanD]

What price were you seeing for 1792 Bib? The TW I was at had it for $43 for the store pick.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

It is a good one for sure. I did a sip or skip episode with the Total Wine pick a few months back and I would still pick this one over that one even though the TW pick was a sip as well.

[@jasongower]

@@TheReal_DeanD Yeah, it was low $40s. Good price.

Give others a chance this drawing! I love how your sister was like "well I've already been drinking, so why not make some videos." Off the top of my head, Eagle Rare is my favorite $40 bourbon. I'm sure there are others. but that's my recommendation.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Like always, I appreciate the support. I have you down for two entries. Good luck! Eagle Rare, Four Roses, and Russell's 10 seem to be a popular choice for the $40 bourbon. Sometime in June I'll have that flight going also.

[@scarcheer7211]

They also have a Sweet Wheat that is excellent.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

I would be interested in that one for sure. It sounds like it would fit my flavor profile. Cheers!

[@jackthepickledhound]

BIB is a great equalizer for bourbon. If I could do it all over again I would journey thru the 50% world. My one bottle of 1792 full proof is a store pick and it's really woody. $40 is an interesting price point because it's not a lot but it's not the low end either. I just saw that my local shop has Stellum for $44. .....sorry, you see, I always go for the cask strength.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

I like whisk(e)y around the 50% range. It's kind of like the Goldilocks zone for me. Cheers!

[@Average_BourbonDad]

I can get Wild Turkey Rare Breed for $48. That is my go to for sure. Makers Mark 101 and Redwood Empire are others.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Rare Breed is a hard bottle to beat. So good on so many levels. Cheers!

Bardstown BiB so far my fave BIB ($47 in CA) stuck it in my checked luggage bag.

I know store picks are desired because they're selected, and you assume the selection will give you something better or more unique, but in my limited experience of store picks vs the standard shelf bottles, I've never preferred a store pick. Taste's and bottles will always vary, and there's no doubt some store picks are truly special, I'm just not as keen to pay the usual price hike for them.
