The best and worst Whiskey, Tequila and Rum of 2021, and MORE! | Year in Review | Curiosity Public

[@derekharmon2242]

Had Highland Park cask strength over Christmas with my brother. It blew me away, it's well rounded and delicious. I'm not even a huge scotch guy but I'll be grabbing a bottle next time I see one.

[@mcwine18]

Another great year with you guys, AS ALWAYS! Looking forward to what 2022 brings! Thanks for all the entertainment!

[@CuriosityPublic]

Cheers! Happy new year!

Fu** off with your "Happy New Year it's 2022!", I haven't seen 2020 go by yet... And my bottle of Foursquare 2009 is empty too... I always laugh with your videos :D

[@vegasart1]

Great video gents! Happy new year! Glad I don’t hunt for the old fitz. But I did like the Blackened cask strength. Lots of toffee and maple to my taste.

[@CuriosityPublic]

Happy new year!

Lov ur channel! Keep up the good Work! Happy new year guys!!!

U guys really help cut out the guess work of finding quality spirits !! There is nothing worse then dropping $100 + on a guess & hating the bottle!!!

You know you legit when someone (me) hit the like button before watching the whole video LOL #CPU!!!

[@pressman1788]

Congratulations sir, the fart sounds are always good for a cheap laugh, especially using it with the face that Jules was making.Have to admit I backed it up to watch it twice.😂👍🥃🇺🇸

[@CuriosityPublic]

Farts are always funny!

[@rangeradams]

I have seen so many young people grabbing the 818 at the stores, it's painful. They go in to stores asking where it is and many stores have it front and center. The public service announcement from Dillon was needed.

[@CuriosityPublic]

"Dillon Public Service Announcements" needs to be a new segment maybe!

[@pressman1788]

A good amount of high priced bottles are a let down. Especially if you put them in a blind with great everyday shelf bottles.Cheers fellas and Happy New Year, always love your content!🥃👍🇺🇸

[@ryanchernochan9366]

Another Sherry + Peat option would be the Laphroaig Triple Wood. 48% peated whisky finished in Sherry Butts.

[@dazbradz8869]

How come I've only just found out this by chance? A subscriber to the bourbon guild who was waiting for more fresh content. I didn't realise the channel had changed / evolved I got some catching up to do!

[@jP-nw7nm]

818 Trash water should be on the list every year!

[@nredman]

Great year of content guys. Thanks!

[@steveszymanski2962]

Cheers guys - great video and looking forward to what you have in store for us in 2022

[@Hobbbuddy]

Great video as always fellas! Thanks for a years worth of awesome content. 😎 Have you guys tried the highland park single cask series and how do you compare it to the cask strength?

[@CuriosityPublic]

Cheers! Happy New Year! We discussed the HP Single Cask series a bit in our HP drinkthrough. They can be quite good. Overall, usually much more expensive than the HP Cask Strength, but probably (depending on the cask) a bit better and more intense.

[@Hobbbuddy]

@@CuriosityPublic I think that will be my next of the shelf comparison.. Thanks!

[@dfang888]

Appreciate the year in review - your content never disappoints. Happy new year!

Great video. Love the round-up and the honest opinions.

[@royn8032]

C'mon Gillian....Biggest disappointment is no GTS!

[@MrRossman2]

These guys really earned my trust with the Bradshaw Bourbon review. I bought a bottle before I saw any reviews thinking "Well it's relatively high proof and it's not that expensive. How bad can it be?" After trying it, I thought "There is no way anyone could possibly think this is drinkable." I then watched some KZbin reviews, trying to change my own mind. Most people agreed that it wasn't great but this is the only channel that really told the truth, IMO. I believe the quote was "All of the bad flavor notes of bourbon and none of the good." I do realize that everyone's palate is different but I feel that we should all be able to agree that Bradshaw Bourbon is truly awful. Also, as a perpetual tequila hater, I am surprised to say that these guys may have turned me around. After watching all the tequila reviews, I recently re-tried some tequila and am pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it. I didn't dive in to that world yet (I don't think my liquor shelf can handle it), but I am dipping my toes in the water.

[@royn8032]

I can't believe it is basically on secondary now.....Someone must like it lol

[@MrRossman2]

@@royn8032 on secondary? Is it actually unavailable somewhere? In my area, it's nearly everywhere and has been so since it came out. I'm beginning to think I'm the only one dumb enough to buy a bottle.

[@royn8032]

@@MrRossman2 I am in California and I only see one store that has it at MSRP....I meant it is starting to go on secondary...that is what it seems anyway....I think a lot of people follow Minnick....I would actually agree with Minnick's description more than CP unfortunately but I wont buy another bottle

[@MrPsiman]

did you get the new Foursquare -Indelible 11 year bourbon and zinfandel cask blend 48%ABV $75 ? the new Hampden Estate - Great House 2021 is out and it's 55%ABV $100

[@TheLimitlessDes]

Was waiting to c how Dillon's story finished at the end but it kept getting interrupted :(

[@jasono.1629]

I get why you guys listed Remus V, the flavors were not blended together well, I also got the sweetness totally separated from the oak, delivered on my palate at different times, not blended. I think the less sophisticated masses (me included) didn’t care too much about that, because the sweet flavors were so dang good and the oakiness wasn’t overbearing but just the right amount, so it didn’t register as a problem that they arrived separately, not together. That problem has gone away with my bottle after being opened a few months, it’s s more blended now. A valid reason though to include it in your list as a disappointment, but not a dislike.

[@LeatherDaddy97]

I thought they were blended wonderfully

[@jasono.1629]

@@LeatherDaddy97 at first mine wasn’t and so I got what Dutch was saying about it, but it was so delicious I didn’t care lol. Then after 2 months or so of being opened it tasted blended.

[@martyneary3501]

For me the worst spirit of the last year is The Rock’s Teremana Reposado. I found it absolutely horrid. And people wanted to love it so bad!

[@Mark-ro5zg]

The Dewar's is tempting but a bit pricey. The 27 and 21 year old's are on my list to try if I can find them in my area. I've had the Highland Park 12 before and really enjoyed it. I'd like to try the Cask Strength sometime.

[@LeatherDaddy97]

Proper 12 is as terrible as connor mcgregor as a person. Remus 5 is my whiskey of the year. Thought it was blended amazingly well and the availability and price were great. I went through my first bottle very quickly. Completely agree on old fitz tho. Wanted one for a while and once i tried it, theres nothing special about it. Thought it was so disappointing.

[@naf4361]

Agreed with proper 12, that stuff is garbage.

[@matthewcombs9059]

Got a new year's resolution for you... 1 Fart noise per video in 2022.

[@CuriosityPublic]

Minimum 1 fart noise per video!

[@davidg-oo1ox]

Good to see you guys again. Where’s the butcher?

[@CaliStyle7]

Just pissed I didn’t watch this before a clerk talked me into trying the proper 12

[@vinceandtheresa1243]

Yes, that Proper Twelve is Proper Garbage!

Our Irish brethren? What ... The World Ecumenical Conference.

[@enricojaun2880]

I dont get the remus hype either. Granted i have not had 5, but i got a 2 on sale this year. NOT impressed at all! I dont care how many people love it, i wouldn't buy another bottle. Bourbon santa has a conspiracy theory that remus is just blented bottles thamgp couldn't get sold. I tent to agree. I thought it would be interesting to mix my 2 with belle mead cask strength to proof it up a bit and tease out other flavors. It tasted like i was eating wood chips. My remus 2 is on my most disappointing list.

[@a.w.3480]

the regular Blackened really isnt good at all (like a sugared Rye), IMHO... but the Cask Strength ones are really nice.

[@jamesnorwood4084]

4 bottles of ersatz after shave. Possibly?

I like how Jules tries to pronounce the French words in French...but still gets it wrong.

[@Vortex1988]

I think you guys shit on Thomas S Moore a little too much. I grabbed a bottle of the Chardonnay Cask and it's easily the most unique bourbon I've had all year. I'll never say no to a glass of it.

[@patrickshinsky1768]

ArteNom 1146 was a disappointment here. Didn't taste tequila. Triggered memories of trying gma's port wine as a child🤮. Too much barrel influence

[@flawns]

no best tequila? only worst this time around
