Will you be doing a review on the longmorn 22? I saw that its priced at $420 where I'm at. Seems like righteous bucks, but i saw that it has a completely different flavor profile compared to the 18. Im debating currently, but just nit sure if i can do it hahaha.
@LiquorHound2 күн бұрын
So I don’t own one, but I have tried it side by side with the 18. It is better (slightly more tropical), but to me it’s not enough to justify the additional $150 over the 18 ($270 vs. $420). Cheers!

I thought Beluga Noble Russian Vodka, Belvedere Polish Vodka, and Grey Goose French Vodka were the top three Vodkas ever made. I didn't try the others but I like Beluga the most.

Too bad Kris Hart is such an awful, disrespectful grifter. His bottlings are a mockery of the great passionate rum folks in the industry and he'll not be receiving any of my money. He's rude, a misogynist, and is trying to jump into an industry he knows nothing about.

Just picked up the B 18 at total wine for $166 and also grabbed a 1792 full proof for about $50. Going to wait until fall to get into both as I’m taking a break from drinking this summer. I’m super excited about the B18. It’s sitting next to my Oban 18 and Knob Hill 18. Sitting there just looking at me 😂 Fall can’t come soon enough. Thanks for the video, Chris!

I would have put in a Michters 10 with this line up. I believe it was sourced up until 2015 from the same distillery so at least for this year and next year's release it would likely be the same juice.

Great video Chris. I never see these early times’ in CA unfortunately nor any cooper crafts 100s. I did see the OF1924 at Costco for $120 but still didn’t pick it up because like you said, it’s not double the value of a 1920 or even a 1910 for 50-60 dollars. Love your videos. Would pick up a 1924 for $100 but no more. Tons of great bourbon for less. And if I really want to spend $130-$140 I’ll pick up a Calumet 16 or 15 I still see on the shelves. 16 year old at 53% abv is worth the price. Cheers.

I was lucky enough to get several of the black topped ET bottles at retail in 2017. At that time, I emailed Brown-Forman and asked them about this release. They told me some of the barrels used for it were up to 6 or 7 years old, which made that release an even more insane deal. Brown-Forman wanted to go out with a bang before handing Early Times over to Sazerac. The Sazerac is almost like a different bourbon. It only shares the mash bill and was distilled and aged at a different location using only 4 year juice.

Great tasting. I was a little bummed that I wasn’t able to get the Fortaleza Winter Blend ‘23 but I did find the Tequila Ocho Tropical Barrel Select Anejo (rum finished) and Continental Barrel Select Anejo (cognac finished) and they are fantastic. A nice substitute in my opinion and could still be on shelves out there.
@scottyblogАй бұрын
My favorite tequila. They used to hand make all of their bottles, which I found fascinating. Each bottle is different and no two look exactly the same. Fortaleza is still darn difficult to get in most of the US.

In general I've enjoyed the winter blends, but when the MSRP doubled for 2023 I was done. I would say the previous releases were worth the 100 I paid. They were not worth 200 and there's no way I was going to pay that for the latest release.

It’s been 2 or so years since I’ve tasted new Kavalan Single Cask releases. I’ll say that I wasn’t as impressed with those as I was with their earlier releases. The finishes were still heavy, but there was some off notes like peroxide and sulfur on certain ones. If I can get some new samples from my whisky friends, I’ll see about doing another video. Cheers!
