I'm 50 and I've been drinking scotch/rocks for 20 years. Recently decided to give bourbons a go, so these videos are highly informative. I'm currently enjoying a bottle of Wild Turkey 101 and Knob Creek. I have bottles of Early Times Bottled-In-Bond and Old Forrester 86 in reserve for something lighter, and I'm looking forward to trying both the Larceny and Woodford Reserve. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

I’m right there with you (64). Lifelong single malt scotch guy. Usually a Speyside or unpeated Islay. Jason has gotten me educated to where I’m enjoying my bourbon journey. So far OF 1920 and Knob Creek 120° are my favorites. Angles Envy and Eagle Rare just weren’t complex enough given my love for a deeply complex scotch.

Dude, this helped me so much. With all the bib, reserve, small batch, single barrel etc it gets hard to select a good one. Just getting into bourbons and trying to find a great one. So far the best I’ve had is Woodford Reserve. I’m working my way up to double oaked. I’ve heard it described good as angel’s tears so I can’t pass that up

@TimScott1111 2 жыл бұрын

Great video. As a beer drinker just starting out on my whisky journey, I have struggled to find what I like. I have determined that I don't like scotch, I like the easy drinkability of Irish whisky (don't worry, I won't use "smooth" as an descriptor, lol) and I've recently found a couple of bourbons that I like. Going into a liquor store can be so overwhelming due to the sheer volume of options, and the fact that everyone likes different things for different reasons. Taking someone else's word can cause you to end up $30-$60 poorer and with an open bottle that you don't like, which sucks. I really like how you've laid out the info and broken down some suggestions based on character and flavor notes.
