I really appreciate that... I have so much to learn about bourbon and other whiskey and feel like we can all learn and grow in this together.

Well said🙏😉✌️

Sipping on some WT101 as I watch this video. Amazing whiskey

@@Royahmar Couldn't agree more. Cheers!

You say "for the price" as if you know something better for an unreasonable price? Just out of curiosity :D

I think there are lots of better bourbons than the 101, but for $25 or less? Nothing beats it in that price range. But there are tons of bourbons priced $30-$90 that 101 can’t compete with at all

@@the_snicklefritz can you please give me a list 🙄🙏😊 I'm open to try new stuff.

Thank you, I really appreciate that! I was kind of nervous about doing this kind of video since it was new for me, but glad you enjoyed it

Glad it helped! Much is stuff I wish I knew earlier

Thank you for the feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed it in spite of your experience!

That modern thirst flavor graph was super helpful for me when I started trying to identify flavors in bourbon

Thanks, when I first decided to dive into bourbon, I went into the liquor store and spent $440 across 12 or so different bottles not having a clue how or where to start. Hopefully folks see this and do it more intelligently than I did.

Thanks for the tip, I'll have to try it!

What kind of liquor is available for you down there at reasonable prices?

Thanks and welcome! Glad you are here, cheers!

I really appreciate that, thank you!

Nosing kits are a great idea as well as that modern thirst bourbon flavor graph!

Cheers! 🥃

What do you normally drink and enjoy?

@@WhiskeyRow kinda new to whiskey. I started with enjoying a old fashioned . I liked the rye with the old fashioned but did not enjoy it neat. I am experimenting with bourbon atm. I have tired wild turkey 101 and rare breed buffalo trace ,the standard one, makers mark and the 46 and private select. Ocean by Jefferson was probably my favorite.

@@psalmist7027 You know it's funny because we all start in different places. I actually started drinking liquor neat, first with aged rum then moved into Bourbon. I much prefer bourbon now, but it is where I started

Thanks for the tip! I have not heard of them but will have to check it out. I've tried stones and they don't get cold enough for me

That is a great one!

@@WhiskeyRow Do you have a suggestion for something in a bourbon that's different, maybe not on the sweet side? Thanks

@@Fish-Ermanwild turkey rare breed

@@jaketrat3725 I'll give it a shot, thanks.

Try the 1910 in a couple days after it's opened up a little and see if it's any better for you. Some people are just 1920s people instead of 1910 and some are both

When you are adding water. That water has volume so the proof or abv goes down. Water sometimes opens up whiskey giving it more aromatics.

If you can find a bottle of Stagg Jr. try it neat!!! Then pour another and put no more than 5 drops, and let it sit about 20 min. You’re gonna be amazed!!

@@darrellreed7044 I never thought about waiting. Good point.

@@williame8202 it’s not always easy!!! 😁😂🤣

It's very important when adding water or using ice . Use limestone filter water . That's the water used during distillation process. Using any other kind of water will drastically change the flavor of the bourbon . Never use tap water

You win! As a regular, what do you think of this kind of video? What style of my videos do you prefer?

@@WhiskeyRow this is great! I mean, while i like reviews, & blind tastings, bracket tournaments, etc. I actually prefer the informational videos like this that aren't as common. Some of my favorites are when you used the barrels to age those whiskey's yourself. I enjoy videos on tips & tricks for finding allocated bottles, or when channels show you which cheaper bottles are almost the same or good substitutes for the expensive, hard to find ones. I wanna learn more about the tasting process, the notes, the stages (like: what's a finish, etc). Keep up the great work!

Mind blown 🤯

Even though you've been at it for six months, hopefully the video was still worth the watch...🙂

@@WhiskeyRow they are always worth the watch sir! I really like your style for content and get jealous every time I see those shelves in the speakeasy! Cheers! 🥃

There is no minimum age, only that if it is less than 4 years old they should put the age statement on it.

@@anthodebourbon yess by law if whiskey is less than 4 years old the age has to be stated on bottle . to be called straight bourbon/ rye whiskey it has to be aged at least 2 years .

No, I haven't bothered yet, but I am considering it

@@WhiskeyRow you should the whiskey community is booming there.
