Anytime I try a Whiskey, I will always get it neat so I can get all the flavors. Then I will decide if it is a cocktail Whiskey or a sipping Whiskey. I am very partial to Irish Whiskeys. Jameson is my daily drinker but the Castmates Stout Edition is my favorite. The problem is ...... the bottle doesn't last long.

@@adamgreenhill110 yeah I love fireball too, drinking it right now. If I were to try and find the actual reason, I'd say it's probably called a whisky because it contains whisky and it's easier to market it if they call it a whisky rather than a "flavored whisky mix" If you're buying cheese and you see "cheese" and "cheese flavored product", you're probably going to buy the "cheese".

When I wasn't a huge whiskey fan, I had always turned my nose up at fireball because of its association with "drink to get drunk, frat and sorority whiskey." Then I tried some for the first time, and, as a huge fan of fireballs as a child, I have to say, I enjoyed it. It definitely tastes exactly like a fireball. Liquid candy. So I have to give it to fireball - I consider it more liquid candy than I do whiskey, because the point of it, it seems, is expressly to *not* taste like whiskey, but while I haven't really had it since, I can say that I could enjoy fireball whisky the same way a person could enjoy a "coffee frappuccino" from starbucks instead of a nice pour over or some other intentional brew of coffee. I'm still a whiskey noob, and while I wouldn't drink fireball for whiskey substance, I would maybe drink it if I can't find fireballs and decide I want one, but also want something alcoholic at the same time.

I've gotta say this as someone who's lived in Kentucky and been into bourbon for over 12 years. I'm actually really impressed with Jack Daniels positioning in the whiskey market. Most whiskey that relies on a name or marketing jacks up the price artificially, looking at you Buffalo Trace. Jack Daniels has the recognition and more than enough of respect to keep prices high. And when I first got into whiskey 12 years ago, I felt they were a bit overpriced for what you get. But over the years, they've kept the price consistent even right now as American whiskey is gaining world enthusiasm.

[@rovers141]

It's most likely #1 because of how well it mixes with coke, making it a very popular choice in bars for people who don't like whiskey straight.

Fellow Wisconsinite here. Can confirm that I see it everywhere. I don't really have much experience with it, but I've always looked at it as a "well whiskey" or just something to mix with and nothing more (which is what most whiskey bought is used for anyways).

[@leonidasspartan9842]

As a new drinker Jack Daniels was great. Now I find it so sweet and fake tasting I just can't. Way better whisky can be found at that price.

[@learndesignwithdev]

Hey, what's your preferred choice at that price point?

[@savory_bacon]

@@learndesignwithdev in my area (Arizona) I can get Wild Turkey 101 and Evan Williams BiB for basically the same price as JD. Even the Evan Williams original black label is better (imo) and cheaper than JD

[@learndesignwithdev]

@@savory_bacon Hmm so I guess many people drink selected labels as subtle Advertising play an important role in propagating subpar brands as niche. Thanks for the reply.

[@RyanErland]

If you didn't catch that novel of a message in the single black frame before the credits, it says they are making a gin.

Annnnd I'm back again!....one of my most favourite moments was sitting on the edge of Loch Lomond in Scotland with a couple whom we had rented a B&B from and asked them what the 'locals' drank..and they pulled out a bottle of Famous Grouse...was very nice indeed, certainly a daily drinker for sure.....then later that night I reached Nirvana. My wife had a special gift for me (it was a wedding anniversary after all!)....I sat there overlooking the Loch with a couple of nice Dun hill Mild gold corona cigars and a several (a lot) of drams from a bottle of Glenmorangie Signet 1, 18yr old that she had bought for me!!...now THAT is a memory I shall have forever...it was sublime....

Hey y’all, new subscriber here and new member of the whiskey tribe. I’m SUPER new to the whiskey world and because of your vids (love them btw) I have decided to start my journey. Stopped at the store today and wanted to try a sweet scotch to begin. I asked the girl working for a cheap option in the 20 to 30 dollar range and she helped me ultimately choose Speyburn single malt scotch - Braden Orach. She said it was a 10 yr., come to find out the Braden Orach is actually a no age disclaimer (although they do have another type that is a 10 yr., maybe she was mixing them up). I will be sipping tonight (both without and with a dash of water) but hope I didn’t make a terrible choice for my first scotch. Hope for some replies from anyone on other options for the future, feedback, etc. Glad to be a member of the tribe 😊

the problem with being a Canadian hobo is it gets to -40c before wind chill and -70 with wind chill also trains just stop at places on the great plains and the driver gets on a different train leaving you 80 miles from any inhabited place or water for 7 weeks

[@komaboi19]

"Emma! What are you doing?!?!?" 🤣🤣🤣 I couldn't stop laughing at that point. I had to watch it about 10 times in a row to get it out of my system 😂😆😅😄

[@quill444]

I remember this police search video on KZbin, in which someone who was towing a boat into Canada had several dozen bottles of Bourbon discovered hidden on the boat during a search. Ultimately, a $500.00 fine was levied on the driver for bringing American liquor into Canada, and he was allowed to continue his journey and keep the Bourbon, but only after paying the fine. Well, if it means not having to drink Canadian whiskey, I say it was well worth it! - j q t -

[@ghw7192]

Interesting list. Some surprises, some you gotta be kidding, some daily drinkers, some gotta try and some never in my house! Thank you!

[@renatoandwill]

WT 101 is my daily. I turned my nose up at budget bourbons for the longest, but when I tried the 101 I completely changed my mind. Rare Breed Barrell proof is quite good as well.

[@charlesperry1051]

I like all of the bourbons on the list. I also like the Scotch whiskies, except JW Red. I like the Black, and green, etc. I love cinnamon but HATE Fireball. Hate hate hate. Woodford Reserve is one of my all time favorite bourbons. Great stuff. Love this episode. And after an episode in college, 30 years ago, I still cannot stand the smell of Southern Comfort. I will puke.

[@matthew6427]

When I played in a band we always had Kessler's 😂 We didn't like it but we had to drink & didn't have much money. One of those jugs was like $8 or something

[@nicknumber1512]

I put it in the same category as Smirnoff. They're great for what they are: cheap and inoffensive. Of course they aren't going to be that interesting to drink straight, but if you have to, they're way less harsh than store-brand liquor. And in a lot of mixed drinks, most people wouldn't be able to distinguish a more expensive brand anyway.

[@tylerthompson8186]

We "had" to drink😂 I've struggled through some cheap years myself lol

[@Resplencemelodi]

Talisker is my daily go to. I've tried most of them. It's either the ten year old or 57 degrees north

[@rp8164]

Talisker 10 is probably my favourite whisky. It's just the right balance. Skye is pretty good, too. Not tried 57, or Storm, yet.

[@Blindy_The_Bat]

My go to daily drinker is Makers Mark, I’m glad to see you guys like it as much as I do.

[@zachpowell6483]

Definitely not my favorite but Evan is super underrated to me.

[@itz_joh1933]

Its my daily drink. At the price point of 12 bucks a bottle it simply cannot be beat.

[@pchitti241]

The issue is they grabbed black label vs white label. The white label BiB is amazing for the price.

[@yankeeredneck7229]

I really hope they drink that Infinity cup

[@MedievalSolutions]

Never forget the legendary line from Return to Zork: Want some RYE? .... Course you do!

[@ErikWaitWhiskyStudies]

🥃 I'll drink the Dewars and Woodford on an airplane as they are frequently on the menu along with Wild Turkey 101. But, WOW, so much "stuff" I never heard of and would not want to drink. I'm afraid of what I might find if I Googled "Top 20 Most Popular Wines in America (according to U.S. sales)". 🍷

[@ChadWinters]

Boones Farm.....Franzia......Riunite

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

I drank wild 🦃 in the 1990s. Not as much 2000s. I had a security manager who drank Wild Turkey at night. I prefer Jim Beam, Evan Williams.

[@weirdmusicmixmaster]

Really appreciate yalls philosophy on reaching out to begginners, this channels been the main resource to move my pallet up.

[@rovers141]

My sometimes daily drinker is Tennessee Fire, it's Jack Daniels' version of fireball whiskey but t's a hell of a lot easier to drink, and a bit sweeter. It's just sweet with a big cinnamon taste and the perfect heat kick and goes down smooth, I love to sit back and drink some of that with ice.

[@fredmidtgaard5487]

The thing is that taste to a relatively large extend depends on surrounding smells, subtle or not. In Europe, I would not drink Jack Daniels, but in Tanzania where I live much of the year: Yes, for sure! It fits the hot, dusty environment perfectly!

[@rustypappas8554]

Whiskey boys: “Fireball is gross.” Fireball: *releases cask strength version* Whiskey boys: 👀

[@shannonosullivan1375]

Fireball reminds me of being 19 and chugging it from the bottle like a maniac

[@DrMaoh]

@@shannonosullivan1375 Dude same. I bought a handle of it when I turned 21 lmao

[@gianlucascottodifrega]

Give me that 40 horsepower at least cinnamon whiskey

[@nilsmanuelgut131]

Jack would probably also be on top of the list in continental Europe.

[@espenskeys]

I love whiskey - it has been my go-to for pleasure and enjoyment for as long as I can remember. I tasted it all - American, Japanese, Scotch, Irish, Swedish, Canadian, and every other country that produced an export/import whiskey for consumption. My favorites still are bourbon - Wild Turkey and Makers Mark, and Laphroaig 12. And I have tasted most of the stupid expensive and hyped whiskeys of the world like Old Van Winkle and so on... didn't make me change my favorites.

[@robedmund9948]

So many nights in college drinking 10-12 of the 20 shown. Good memories. I think. And Daniel operating power tools? Sober, I hope. GREAT look!

[@solomonkane408]

I never thought of wild turkey as a daily and am going to grab a bottle and I love Jim beam it's my go to in a dive bar . Great videos u guys have taught me so much .

[@michaelkellerman9603]

duke togo the 80 proof is garbage you have to go after the 101 or rare breed 108 proof or if you’re feeling fancy the Kentucky spirit I think it comes in a wooden box with a special bottle

[@jakeziegler6503]

Wild Turkey 101 is one of my everyday go-tos. Flavorful, affordable bourbon

[@BigSteve34]

Good thing about turkey 101 is its normally in the dive bars too

[@thomasjtheobald]

Amazingly, Sudden Discomfort is available pretty widely here in Germany - and it sells for a rather rediculous 10-15 euros for a .7L bottle. Holy crap, these people over here just don't understand American whiskey.

[@skraegorn7317]

Rex's reaction to smelling it was about the same as mine. It smelled to me like scented hand sanitizer that went bad after sitting in a hot car for too long.

[@acbeaumo]

I thought SoCo and Fireball were considered liqueurs. I wouldn't include them in a whiskey lineup, personally.

[@pudimdecana51]

Me too. SoCo in Brazil sales as a liqueur.

[@brianmcmanus4690]

Oh man this episode was alot of fun! Don't drink like I used to, but as a life-long bourbon lover, I would really dig sitting down with y'all and tasting whiskys. Good stuff. Cheers!

[@skrooloos81]

Great video. I’m digging the format, rapid fire pace, very informative yet to the point. Thanks for this!
