[@StraightUpSips]

Nice picks! Always good to show the scotch some love. Cheers🥃!!!

[@FrontiersmanAdventures]

I did this once before, so I will have to do it again sometime. I like your picks. I do like New Riff a lot. I will have to try that Ry3. I have seen it a few times, but have passed. That Woodford is on my bucket list. Nice choice for a special occasion. I really want to try that Penelope American Light. Great bottles. Thanks guys!

[@StraightUpSips]

Ill have to send a sample of the Penelope to you then! I’ll send you an email soon, cheers🥃!!!

[@jeffruebens8355]

My 3 favorites, from smoother to more harsh, are the Bernheim Original 90 proof Wheat Whiskey, the 100 proof Old Grand-Dad, and the 100 proof Early Times. Since I live in KY, a good one to share is one of the Smoke Wagons from Las Vegas.

[@StraightUpSips]

Awesome picks, thanks for sharing! I’ve heard good things about the smoke wagons. Cheers!

[@guitarswhiskeyandgolf]

Great mixer Rittenhouse has an amazing flavor profile for cocktails but I sip it neat too it has beautiful warm spices

[@TupeloRunner]

Cannot go wrong w New Riff. Try the SiB Rye. Very solid.

[@StraightUpSips]

We will definitely have to give that one a try. I feel like new riffs whole line up is solid. Cheers🥃!!!

[@umami0247]

Y’all have some serious juice. Have been looking for a Penelope ALW. Great job.

[@StraightUpSips]

Thank you, We love that bottle😊. Good luck on your hunting, it’s out there! What do you think of the other Penelope’s? Cheers🥃!!!!

[@jayhalley2642]

Nice list

[@StraightUpSips]

Thanks for watching! 🥃

[@robertmarksmith9439]

1792 is a fav. Of mine

[@wynnmatthews1858]

Blanton's, IMO, is the most over rated bourbon out there. Where I live, its 70 bucks retail when you can find it. I pass on it whenever I'm offered one. Should be a 35 dollar bottle, tops.

[@StraightUpSips]

Definitely agree that it’s overrated, the last Blantons we had sips hot and just off so I can definitely say that that one shouldn’t be 60-70 dollars lol

[@Chris-de2qc]

Rittenhouse!

[@guitarswhiskeyandgolf]

The only reason Blantons gets hated on is its priced at liquor stores ridiculously. It's a great 60 to 70 dollar bourbon but jeez most liquor stores want 125 and up for it which is just stupid.

[@StraightUpSips]

Agree!!!

[@BourbonDrop]

Excellent list! Light whiskeys are so good, tend to drink way below their proof.

[@StraightUpSips]

Thank you! Yes, absolutely love the light whiskey! Cheers!

[@vonrodri314]

Mans was bout to say Only Fans. LOL

[@mybourbonjourney]

Nice video and some great selections! Cheers 🥃

[@StraightUpSips]

Thanks for watching! Cheers!

[@MezsiaH]

Woodford Reserve double oaked is apparently a top go to as well, if you haven't tried so already! I just purchsed my first bottle this week. I will try the "early times" soon and is next on my list.

[@StraightUpSips]

@@MezsiaH that one is an amazing bottle!!! 🥃

[@edwinglandon2277]

Nice video, enjoy your channel

[@StraightUpSips]

Thank you for watching! 🥃

[@joshweatherly8715]

Definately prefer a higher proof for mixing but yup nice list yall

[@guitarswhiskeyandgolf]

My special occasion pour is JD SB BP Rye. It's rare and I have only found it once in the wild and is in my top 10 whiskeys of all time for me and what i like.

[@StraightUpSips]

We have heard such good things about that SBBP Rye. We see it a good bit down here any maybe that’s why we haven’t picked one up yet. But we absolutely have to change that soon! 🥃

[@Cask529]

Great show guys. Hard to go wrong with any of the New Riff products.

[@StraightUpSips]

Yes, we love new riff! Thanks for watching. Cheers!🥃

[@dbnumberiv]

unfortunately base benchmark (which is still good) and early times does not get to my area. personally, i'd go with hitting different whiskey categories wild turkey 101 bourbon and rye for mixing, aberlour 12, jameson black barrel, and woodford double oaked. these are bottles i can go to any store and find very easily that i make drinks with and sip on. if i was doing only bourbon it would be wild turkey 101, knob creek 120, woodford double oaked, old elk blended, and stagg (if i can find it. i have one but haven't opened it yet). honorable mentions are old emmer cask strength, bourbon barrel seagrass, rare bread, e.h. taylor, smokehead tequila cask, and my infinity bottle.

[@StraightUpSips]

Awesome picks! We love wild turkey as well. Stagg would be an awesome pick too! We have yet to find one here in our area. Thanks for watching. Cheers!

[@davevogelsang6791]

New subscriber. Nice bottles. Love the Early Times BIB. I have 8 bottles of the black cap bunkered with one open. Have a few pours of it at least every week. That Penelope Light Whiskey is so good. 🥃

[@StraightUpSips]

Thank you for the support, we are big Early Times BiB fans. And yes that Penelope is fantastic, Cheers🥃!!!!

[@frontiertina]
