Haha, that's how to get socked right in the kisser!

[@black.barn.bourbon1801]

This was the part where I lost it... HARD 🤣🤣🤣

[@sethjohnson4845]

That was really funny

[@sggjose]

This was fucking hilarious... lost my shit for sure. Two Manhattans in and drinking a pour of OF SiB 100 proof. LOL.

[@ikiruyamamoto1050]

Holy crap that Mike Tyson comment was GOLDEN! BTW, thanks for the warning on this bottle.

[@TheMNbassHunter]

This was the reaction I had last night to my first pour of 1792 Full Proof. It drank super hot. I couldn't hardly taste anything under the burn. I added a little water to it and that helped get past the inferno.

[@sethjohnson4845]

“Citrus.... Sirens...” lol

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Haha, constantly being interrupted

[@garrettorpin6584]

It seems they scrambled the fire department before you sipped on that flamethrower.

[@brandonbeaudoin2911]

Love that you threw the babies in the car for a bourbon adventure. Glad im not the only one haha

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Gotta do it sometimes!

[@valvetones7344]

Sounds like the 1920 is still the Champion of the forest you can find.

[@joshrandall8473]

Got my Bring Me The Pappy shirt on today. Makes me want to go out barrel hunting!

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Do it do it! Its a lucky shirt!

[@alaskancub7124]

Many, MANY of my barrel proof favorites need a month-6 weeks of open time to be really good! Some of the best are really hot at first crack, and incredibly smooth in a few weeks of being open. 😂

[@coltknight3945]

I have a bottle of Barrel Proof OF that I paid $80 for. It is good, but I much prefer OF 1920 for $55.

[@rockingeadventures4558]

My bottle was a little different. For instance, no sirens.

[@jasonanderson8102]

Ha! Those sirens were clearly a warning from the bourbon gods. Next time sirens go off when I open a bottle, I’ll proceed with extreme caution.

[@printnewb]

Matt, the best part of your vids are your colorful metaphors. I had to stop doing my yard work because i was laughing so hard.

[@ADHDWhiskey]

That is awesome, Joe! Glad you enjoy my.....uniqueness lol

[@djbeacon1942]

Wow, that was fast putting this together after just moving to some snow!! CHEERS!!

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Haha I had a couple videos edited and ready to go!

[@Lefthandman333]

Crazy how different the Barrel selects are, the Arizona Select drinks way below the proof in my opinion, it's become one of my favorite (and more interesting) Bottles on the shelf.

[@scottmoody3926]

Time to Phillip this glass, had me rolling. Great stuff!

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Thanks Scott!

[@brenon4766]

The video with the sirens in the background, and that bottle, pretty much sums up your stay in Hartford. I’m afraid to open mine now........

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Open it and let it get some air haha

[@DC632A]

The benefit of a high octane like that is adding a few drops of spring water. You can titrate the flavors. Try 6 drops of water in that glass. Then come back 😅

[@morebeer7673]

Funny as hell and informative as well! Please give us an update on if this mellowed out with age.

[@ReverseProof]

Now I want this bottle. Thanks, Matt!

[@ADHDWhiskey]

You'll find one for sure. They are starting to pop up more and more

[@jonnyfish76]

YES. I just finally opened one of these I got in NY. It's definitely hot as balls, but has equal flavor.

[@pesky716]

Shout Out Central Ave Liquors in Mpls, MN. Their pick came in at 132 proof, and drank amazing! Crazy how much variance these picks have had. You should ask your place why they picked their barrel, because each store should have been sent 3 to sample and select from.

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Yeah, single barrel variance is real in these. Id ask them about it but im 1200 miles away now haha

[@deanarmstrong8185]

Ok, at first I laughed, then I LOL’d! Great review without really saying many words.😂 Thanks Matt!

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Thank you Dean! Glad you liked it!

[@BigJonkulous]

A video that ends on "ball sack." What a guy!

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Yep! Not a bad way to go out!

[@AnAbortiveRomance]

Reminds me of the bottle of rare breed I recently bought. The first few pours were hot like gasoline. lol ...but it's mellowed a lot. The heat has disappeared completely, and now I can actually taste it. Hopefully this bottle does the same for you in a couple weeks.

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Hoping so to! Cheers!

[@BrianVaughn]

Just found one of these at my local Total Wine with 129.2 proof. Just burnt my face off. This one is going onto the back of the shelf till I can grow a pair.

[@davevogelsang6791]

I found and picked up a bottle of OF SB Barrel Proof a month ago. Saving for a special occasion. From watching this review, I may need to add a pint of water to mine.

[@bananapatch9118]

Now I really cant wait to try it !

[@justindinger9348]

I picked up a bottle of this over the weekend at 132.8 proof. Your facial expressions and reaction were spot on.

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Lol, yours is hot too?

[@justindinger9348]

@@ADHDWhiskey Yes! Its heat is on par with a Stagg Jr. I bought back December of 2016, which never opened up in the 2 years it took to drink it. I have a serious feeling that the Single Barrel, Barrel Proof store pick will not open up.

[@jasonanderson8102]

I’ve had neck pours from Stagg and other barrel proof whiskeys that we’re way too hot and then those bottles turned into some my favorite pours. So there’s hope. But I’ve also had a few 1920’s and JD Barrel Strength with amazing neck pours, so there’s some concern because bad high proof neck pours don’t seem to be typical for Brown Forman. Good luck!

[@ADHDWhiskey]

I'm holding out hope!

[@jeradlocktish550]

After that proof math you displayed here, looks like you can be a math tutor as well, not just your patron lol. Great Vid! I would love to see this be revisited after opening up a bit. I have been finding that OF store picks have become some of my favorite finds. None are barrel strength as of yet though.

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Haha my math is terrible....but also so good

[@danshane7035]

I really need to encourage this type of behavior. Well done. Lamazing.

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Thank you Dan!

[@madcappah]

It'll get better, after about a month of opening up! My OFBPSB is about 1/3 gone and drinking nicely now and it's 129.6 proof.

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Awesome to hear! This one is really turning into a cinnamon bomb

[@dgl52495]

I picked two of these up from the NB location as well...agreed with you, the neck pour is hot fire! I let it sit for a week and the air helped things out quite a bit, but still feels a bit young / hot to me. Might have had my hopes set a little too high for it.

[@ADHDWhiskey]

So I'm not crazy haha

[@dgl52495]

@@ADHDWhiskey Definitely not...I'm really hoping this OF150 I found doesn't result in the same disappointment...

Going back to this video and this might be the greatest review everRrrr

[@ShastaCountyLand]

I just picked up a bottle of this, then saw your review. I was all excited, now I'm kind of scared. Mine is "only" 125.8 proof, so hopefully a little better. I'll let you know after I give it a try.

I Guess I’ll be headed to Liquor Depot tomorrow to see if they still have some 🤯

[@il5bdb]

Great Review! Still haven't seen this in Illinois, but I'm buying if I do!

[@ADHDWhiskey]

It will get there soon Im sure!

[@ChrisDominey]

I'd love to see a revisit video for bottles that may need a second opinion down the road, like this or the Smickle, maybe time does help?

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Absolutely! A great idea and I have a few that need revisiting!

[@jimstokley]

Dude, thanks for the warning, I enjoy old forester products. I know now I need to put on my big boy pants on for this one.

Damn you are funny. I am going to Old Forester tomorrow with my wife. We're not ready for anything like that....lol

[@johnfloyd1383]

And remember “keep your head in the clouds, but your mind on Manute Bol’s ball bag...” 🤣🤣

[@protoculture4027]

Growing up in Alameda, CA, I couple times I saw Manute Bol playing pool at the local bowling alley. This was a man long enough to never need a bridge while playing. Anyway, as he bent for a shot, you could pretty much say my face was indeed level with his jewels so to speak. Fond memories... True story BTW

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Haha that is hilarious!

[@tomtamuramft]

I love 1920, but the blue label is king.

Here I was all excited for this release and all it got from Matt is the classic "Manute Bol's sack" rating. Add neck pour to that phrase and now I am skipping lunch. No banana bread Matt?!?

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Not yet...but maybe it will open up!

[@michaelkoehler269]

I'm surprised it comes in so hot at 128 proof. Please do a follow-up review after it opens up. Do you do do a palette warm up taste before your reviews?

[@ssjnimma]

I'd agree on doing a follow up after some air time

[@ADHDWhiskey]

I'll do a follow up for sure, and yeah, always a warm up or two!

[@GD.702]

i thought it was pretty great on first try and much better after it opened up.

[@matthewpillsbury7403]

Have you revisited this bottle? How is it now? Please do a follow up video

its even better after being open a week

[@jamessocal8946]

64.4% on mine in Los Angeles. Tastes like a 1915 on steroids to me (1910 - 1920 blend). A big boy bourbon, not a dessert sweetie pie.

[@adammertens5617]

Matt, did this bottle ever open up? I found one online to purchase so I'm wondering how yours turned out?

[@sirjcc]

this happens a LOT with OF barrel strength bottles. After opening, you have to let it sit for many week for it to mellow a bit

[@timevans312]

A bottle that a drop of water 💧 completely allows it to open up. Well at least mine since they’re all different

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Will try it again!

It is a Unicorn in the Pennsylvania market. The sad part is that there are are endless "tolerant", inclusive", "Cool",all at the same time bourbon haters who will call me names, disparage me, and say that it is not true. Anecdotally it may not be, but generally, in the Pennsylvania market it is true. So stop with the hate! It is on the up and coming part of the Pennsylvanian Liquor control board web site but like stupid Governor Wolfe and everything about the stupid state of Pennsylvania, normal people like us will never ever see it except on secondary, which for us will require a second mortgage.
