WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:35.760 Music. 00:00:35.606 --> 00:00:40.466 Welcome to Bourbon Beards and Belvedeers, this is Adam. And I'm Paul. And I'm Jerry. 00:00:41.306 --> 00:00:44.306 And apparently I thought that I was answering a phone call. 00:00:44.666 --> 00:00:48.126 So, uh, it's great to be back with these guys. 00:00:48.326 --> 00:00:51.766 It's been a little while, you know, I had some things going on last weekend. 00:00:51.926 --> 00:00:54.326 Just couldn't, couldn't make it work. 00:00:55.106 --> 00:00:59.966 So today we're, we're drinking some whiskey, smoking some cigars and telling 00:00:59.966 --> 00:01:01.346 you about some beer products. 00:01:02.266 --> 00:01:07.266 I guess we're, you know, I've got a palate warmer-ish. I've got a nice Modelo, 00:01:07.406 --> 00:01:08.786 Chilada, Mango, and Chili. 00:01:09.246 --> 00:01:13.266 Not really in the vein of whiskey, and I don't know that you guys really have 00:01:13.266 --> 00:01:18.846 one either, so I guess we can just go ahead and jump right on in to this very... 00:01:19.406 --> 00:01:24.706 Oh, you guys got pallet warmers, it looks like. Yep, I've been sipping on one 00:01:24.706 --> 00:01:26.146 while we're just chatting, getting started. 00:01:26.346 --> 00:01:32.866 I went to the Old Crow, or not even Old Crow, it's Crow 86. It's the new plastic jug offering. 00:01:33.626 --> 00:01:37.166 I could find these around me for an absolutely ridiculous 00:01:37.166 --> 00:01:40.026 price and so i've been buying every time 00:01:40.026 --> 00:01:43.046 i go to that store i grab one i got 00:01:43.046 --> 00:01:45.886 a nice little stack of them out here next to me i'm just i can't pass it 00:01:45.886 --> 00:01:49.586 up at eleven dollars for 175 and it's 00:01:49.586 --> 00:01:52.426 pretty good low proof whiskey on its own but 00:01:52.426 --> 00:01:55.646 i put four of uh the charred 00:01:55.646 --> 00:01:58.406 bourbon baggers into this bottle a couple days ago and it's 00:01:58.406 --> 00:02:01.926 actually pretty fantastic neat it adds just 00:02:01.926 --> 00:02:05.146 enough to make this from just you know bottom shelf plastic bottle 00:02:05.146 --> 00:02:08.026 to pretty delicious pour so i'm enjoying 00:02:08.026 --> 00:02:11.406 some old some crow 86 yeah the 00:02:11.406 --> 00:02:14.426 other day i got home from work i don't know about 8 00:02:14.426 --> 00:02:17.486 39 at night just wanted a pour didn't want anything too crazy 00:02:17.486 --> 00:02:20.266 and typically when i feel that way i 00:02:20.266 --> 00:02:23.546 usually just grab wild turkey 101 or makers 46 00:02:23.546 --> 00:02:26.086 going in the the cabinet to grab something and then 00:02:26.086 --> 00:02:28.986 i saw a giant white label that i kind of 00:02:28.986 --> 00:02:31.786 forgot about it's the evan williams bottle of the bond so i've 00:02:31.786 --> 00:02:36.826 been sipping on this thing for the last like week almost exclusive just because 00:02:36.826 --> 00:02:41.106 i kind of forgot how good it was just because you start getting some of these 00:02:41.106 --> 00:02:44.946 other bottles that we'll try later and you kind of want those and sometimes 00:02:44.946 --> 00:02:50.066 you just got to fall back on a good old classic and it doesn't this point whatsoever. 00:02:51.361 --> 00:02:55.481 Well, like I said, I am not really working on a pallet warmer, 00:02:55.661 --> 00:03:00.421 so if you guys are ready, I have gone ahead and gotten mine, 00:03:00.441 --> 00:03:02.561 my first pour poured up here. 00:03:03.441 --> 00:03:08.401 Yep. I am ready. This is a bottle I kind of forgot about, had for a while in the back of the cabinet. 00:03:08.681 --> 00:03:12.481 I think we mentioned it a couple weeks ago, and I had to go in to see if I still 00:03:12.481 --> 00:03:15.981 had it, or how much I had, I should say, left in the bottle. 00:03:16.241 --> 00:03:20.101 And I had just enough to send you guys a small one-ounce sample. 00:03:20.101 --> 00:03:22.881 So this is from Duke Spirits. 00:03:23.081 --> 00:03:25.181 This is the Founders Reserve. 00:03:25.421 --> 00:03:33.201 It's a nine-year, finished in Cabernet-infused Grand Cru French Oak wine barrels. 00:03:33.941 --> 00:03:41.601 So coming in at 110 truth. The mash bill is undisclosed, but as whiskey people 00:03:41.601 --> 00:03:46.821 do, did some sleuthing, and pretty much everyone's come up with a consensus. 00:03:46.821 --> 00:03:49.141 I think how it happened is in 00:03:49.141 --> 00:03:52.341 an interview or something, the Mashville got kind of leaked or alluded to. 00:03:52.541 --> 00:03:56.321 And then it's a nine-year 75, 13, 12. 00:03:56.961 --> 00:04:01.401 So there's not many people out there with nine-year 75, 13, 12 stops except 00:04:01.401 --> 00:04:03.581 for pretty much Wild Turkey and Jim Beam. 00:04:04.041 --> 00:04:09.921 And it's pretty much widely accepted that this is Wild Turkey barrels that are 00:04:09.921 --> 00:04:14.001 just off-profile for them that went into at least this offering. 00:04:14.001 --> 00:04:20.341 It's a little pricey $130 a bottle but it's worth it in my mind it's pretty 00:04:20.341 --> 00:04:22.741 fantastic if we want to get into it. 00:04:24.061 --> 00:04:31.081 Super dark in the glass just really dark looks great in the glass oily you can 00:04:31.081 --> 00:04:33.861 see the legs just crazy oily, 00:04:34.461 --> 00:04:39.161 yeah that wine comes through right on the front of the nose with a bunch of berry, 00:04:40.161 --> 00:04:41.401 berries and dark fruits, 00:04:42.461 --> 00:04:45.301 nice creaminess to the nose too i get 00:04:45.301 --> 00:04:48.921 a lot of that vanilla too on the nose the palate 00:04:48.921 --> 00:04:52.001 i get none of those dark fruits 00:04:52.001 --> 00:04:58.901 i get banana runts i get banana runts just punch me in the face so that's you 00:04:58.901 --> 00:05:01.821 know clearly not what you guys are getting i can tell by the looks on your faces 00:05:01.821 --> 00:05:06.961 that's what i get just fucking mouthful of banana runts and it might be this 00:05:06.961 --> 00:05:11.081 mango beer that i'm drinking over here i don't know but Probably. 00:05:11.501 --> 00:05:14.721 I was going to say, you are drinking a mango beer. We're both smoking cigars, 00:05:14.841 --> 00:05:17.361 so I think we got different palates going on right now. 00:05:17.461 --> 00:05:22.261 I did cleanse my palate with spring water before jumping into this. I still get that. 00:05:22.461 --> 00:05:25.301 I still get more banana than I get from Jack Daniels, even. 00:05:27.046 --> 00:05:31.606 That's interesting because I don't get any of that. I'm trying to find it, and I don't get that. 00:05:32.786 --> 00:05:36.546 It's super fruity for me. Dark fruits, cherries. Yep. 00:05:37.406 --> 00:05:41.706 It goes into, like, I get on, like, towards the finish, I get some oak, 00:05:41.906 --> 00:05:44.266 almost like a cocoa powder. 00:05:44.886 --> 00:05:47.986 And there's, like, baking spices that kind of round out the finish, too. 00:05:48.146 --> 00:05:53.046 Like, maybe some cinnamon nutmeg, kind of like, you know, that just traditional baking spice blend. 00:05:53.266 --> 00:05:57.806 But, yeah, I mean, it's warm. It drinks, I would say, a little bit higher. 00:05:58.226 --> 00:05:59.826 It feels a little bit higher than 110. 00:06:00.506 --> 00:06:04.166 Maybe because I'm coming from... I've started with an 86 proof. 00:06:04.346 --> 00:06:07.006 Maybe that's why I'm saying that. But it does drink hot. 00:06:07.386 --> 00:06:11.126 I mean, super great, buttery mouthfeel, too. 00:06:11.786 --> 00:06:15.026 Yeah, I love this mouthfeel. The weird thing about this bottle... 00:06:15.026 --> 00:06:18.786 So I tried a single barrel offering of this not too long ago. 00:06:19.026 --> 00:06:21.746 We were trying to find the proof on this bottle. 00:06:22.246 --> 00:06:25.226 And it is in like size two 00:06:25.226 --> 00:06:29.646 font on the back right next to where it says 750 doesn't 00:06:29.646 --> 00:06:34.886 say anywhere on the label the front label that it's 110 prefer but yeah a ton 00:06:34.886 --> 00:06:40.186 of berries cherry dark fruits i get a little bit of dill which is weird i don't 00:06:40.186 --> 00:06:44.886 know if it's the cigar or what but a little bit of not much not like a rye but 00:06:44.886 --> 00:06:49.446 just like a hint of it kind of like but yeah very nice oaky in there. 00:06:50.186 --> 00:06:54.986 Nice creamy mouthfeel, mouth-watering, and then some good bacon spices, 00:06:55.126 --> 00:06:57.386 rice spices. It's fucking delicious. 00:06:58.266 --> 00:07:03.386 Yeah, I would say that for me, this is worth $130 if you see it. 00:07:03.726 --> 00:07:07.486 I don't have a problem paying that for this bottle. It's pretty damn good. 00:07:07.926 --> 00:07:09.906 Mine's gone. I killed it. Send out 00:07:09.906 --> 00:07:13.466 these samples, so I will be looking for another one to put on the shelf. 00:07:15.506 --> 00:07:17.186 We're still sourcing these founders. 00:07:19.566 --> 00:07:26.366 From what I can tell the regular Duke lineups coming from Ozie Tyler now or Green River so, 00:07:27.266 --> 00:07:30.866 that's a whole different ball of wax with their regular offering but they have 00:07:30.866 --> 00:07:36.506 a lot of specialty offerings that are pretty priced a little bit higher but they're fantastic, 00:07:37.426 --> 00:07:40.306 the finish on this thing just keeps on going, 00:07:41.486 --> 00:07:47.226 Yeah, it's a long, long finish. Just a lingering, sweet, spicy finish. 00:07:48.506 --> 00:07:54.246 And that fruit lingers, too. It doesn't just, not just on the front palate for me. 00:07:54.786 --> 00:07:56.846 I still get a little bit of that fruit finish. 00:07:57.666 --> 00:07:58.926 Man, too, it's all banana. 00:08:02.106 --> 00:08:05.906 I swear I didn't trick you and put in Jack 7 in there or anything. 00:08:06.166 --> 00:08:09.366 I mean, I don't hate it. I don't like banana ruts. I fuck it. 00:08:09.366 --> 00:08:13.326 That's that's if anytime I get a handful of runs, those are the ones that I throw away. 00:08:13.866 --> 00:08:17.466 So if I go to one of those machines that you put a quarter into to get runs 00:08:17.466 --> 00:08:21.266 out of and it gives me nothing but bananas, bananas, I've wasted my whole fucking 00:08:21.266 --> 00:08:23.666 quarter because I'm throwing that whole goddamn handful of candy away. 00:08:24.066 --> 00:08:27.026 But oh, I love those banana. Those are the ones I eat first. 00:08:29.326 --> 00:08:32.926 When you go to Cracker Barrel and they got just a bag of the banana run. 00:08:33.006 --> 00:08:36.006 So I grab those every time I didn't know that was a thing because I've never 00:08:36.006 --> 00:08:37.786 sought them out because they're fucking gross. 00:08:37.786 --> 00:08:41.506 That's why so i don't hate it with this and 00:08:41.506 --> 00:08:44.446 after i let it sit for i mean it's it's the 00:08:44.446 --> 00:08:47.286 over over you know the overwhelming majority of 00:08:47.286 --> 00:08:49.966 flavor that i'm getting out of this is banana i do get some of 00:08:49.966 --> 00:08:52.706 those dark fruit notes if i let it sit for a 00:08:52.706 --> 00:08:56.026 minute and have a little bit more and i definitely pick up some of 00:08:56.026 --> 00:09:00.086 those baking spices on the back of my palate but aftertaste 00:09:00.086 --> 00:09:02.666 you know what i get up front all of it 00:09:02.666 --> 00:09:05.646 bananas the burp that i just did bananas it's fucking 00:09:05.646 --> 00:09:08.866 bananas and that's with the beer that's 00:09:08.866 --> 00:09:13.106 without the beer that's after having cleansed my palate with that gallon of 00:09:13.106 --> 00:09:18.446 spring water i got sitting right there i may come back to it after we've had 00:09:18.446 --> 00:09:24.906 these other two whiskeys and and see but right now it's it's just banana that's 00:09:24.906 --> 00:09:28.406 what i get banana banana banana that might be, 00:09:29.306 --> 00:09:32.046 one of my top fours that we've done on this show this year. 00:09:33.486 --> 00:09:37.126 I don't like the price on it, but everything else is really nice. 00:09:37.846 --> 00:09:44.506 Yeah. I'd love to see this at like $80. I'd buy it. I'd buy it all day. $130, like I said. 00:09:45.246 --> 00:09:49.906 It's sub $100. Sub $100 would be really nice. It's worth the $130. 00:09:49.906 --> 00:09:52.966 Once you get over that. Yeah. 00:09:54.006 --> 00:09:57.466 But yeah, if you got the money, $130, yeah. 00:09:58.286 --> 00:10:03.066 I just typically don't like spending more than $100 on a bottle unless I fall. 00:10:03.826 --> 00:10:07.566 Yeah. And I've never actually seen this in the store. So, you know. 00:10:08.146 --> 00:10:12.226 And this is one that, if it is, if there is distribution in the area, 00:10:12.386 --> 00:10:15.586 it's one that usually kind of sits around because not many people know what the hell it is. 00:10:15.906 --> 00:10:23.526 And they judge it, I think, on the $35 bottle of Duke, which this has no reflection 00:10:23.526 --> 00:10:25.786 on that bottle. It's a completely different listing. 00:10:26.306 --> 00:10:31.026 So I tend to see it sitting around a lot on, you know, they have it on the back 00:10:31.026 --> 00:10:36.726 museum shelf just because of the price they get from the distributor at, but it sits there. 00:10:36.886 --> 00:10:43.346 So if you see it, it's, you know, it's not, it's, it's worth grabbing in my mind. I like it. 00:10:44.066 --> 00:10:47.606 It's pretty good. I don't know about that price, but I like it. 00:10:49.471 --> 00:10:52.551 Let's move on so that I can come back to this motherfucker here in a little 00:10:52.551 --> 00:10:56.591 bit and see if maybe that banana shit's not quite as prevalent. 00:10:57.611 --> 00:11:02.011 Jerry, tell us about our second pour. Give me one second as I pour this up. 00:11:02.631 --> 00:11:08.651 All right. So this one I grabbed while in Kentucky, what was that, three years ago now? 00:11:09.171 --> 00:11:11.211 Yeah. Two years ago? Something like that. 00:11:11.951 --> 00:11:18.111 I was up there, Lexington, meeting up with Adam and our good buddies, Mike, Jay, Tim, Wayne. 00:11:18.511 --> 00:11:21.171 I think that was the crew that time we go into 00:11:21.171 --> 00:11:23.851 this liquor store after doing tours all day and whatnot i'm not going 00:11:23.851 --> 00:11:26.911 to name the store because at the time it was a fantastic 00:11:26.911 --> 00:11:29.951 store with a lounge and they sold 00:11:29.951 --> 00:11:32.771 it off to a bunch of dickheads so i don't want to give them the uh 00:11:32.771 --> 00:11:37.091 the free advertisement adam and 00:11:37.091 --> 00:11:42.331 one of the guys went straight to the bar me and one or two of the guys went 00:11:42.331 --> 00:11:46.651 straight to the liquor shelves to see what they had and came across this ej 00:11:46.651 --> 00:11:51.331 curly i I picked up the small batch because they got a nice little black label 00:11:51.331 --> 00:11:54.491 on it with gold trim and everything and looking at it. 00:11:54.731 --> 00:11:58.251 And the guy came up to me and was asking me questions if I've ever had it, 00:11:58.311 --> 00:12:01.251 ever seen it. And I was like, I'm in Florida. I've never even heard about it before. 00:12:01.691 --> 00:12:05.151 Ends up being the owner of the company. We chatted for a minute. 00:12:05.351 --> 00:12:08.811 He says, they got it at the bar if you want to try it. So, of course, 00:12:08.891 --> 00:12:10.091 I went straight to the bar and tried it. 00:12:11.711 --> 00:12:16.271 He has an NDA, so he couldn't tell us where it was from, sourced from at the time. 00:12:16.271 --> 00:12:20.571 But he did say something along the lines like check out the neck label and you 00:12:20.571 --> 00:12:27.131 read it says Bluegrass, Boone's Knoll and in Camp Nelson so it is now kind of 00:12:27.131 --> 00:12:31.251 known that this stuff is off profile Wild Turkey they have a, 00:12:32.271 --> 00:12:36.231 distillery that they're being built right there in Camp Nelson basically right 00:12:36.231 --> 00:12:41.731 across street from Wild Turkey's rickhouses this one's coming at 121.9 proof 00:12:41.731 --> 00:12:46.171 I want to say it was like 65 bucks maybe 70 I can't 00:12:46.271 --> 00:12:49.331 remember off the top of my head, it was too long ago and we had a couple of 00:12:49.331 --> 00:12:50.951 distillery tours beforehand. 00:12:51.051 --> 00:12:53.811 So there was a bunch of whiskey drank beforehand. 00:12:55.062 --> 00:12:57.222 But yeah, it's a cool little story. A lot of history behind it. 00:12:57.502 --> 00:12:58.922 You never heard about it. Check them out. 00:12:59.082 --> 00:13:03.702 They do have someone by the name of Ashley Barnes as their master blender. 00:13:04.142 --> 00:13:05.082 Probably have heard of her. 00:13:05.842 --> 00:13:10.082 She's done Leafer's Fork, Lucky 7, a bunch of other brands. 00:13:10.302 --> 00:13:14.822 She was a quality control tech at Buffalo Trace and then became the assistant 00:13:14.822 --> 00:13:21.282 quality control manager at Four Roses before shooting over to start her own thing with the... 00:13:21.282 --> 00:13:25.182 Shit, I can't remember the name of the company now. I thought I had it written 00:13:25.182 --> 00:13:28.482 down, but she has her own company with someone else that they do a bunch of 00:13:28.482 --> 00:13:31.682 stuff, and now they're helping blending a bunch of stuff. 00:13:33.122 --> 00:13:36.522 I'm a big fan of this one. I'm curious to see what the guys think about it. 00:13:37.342 --> 00:13:42.382 I have clearly had it. Half my sample bottle is gone, but I don't fucking remember 00:13:42.382 --> 00:13:45.962 when, so I'm as clueless as Paul. 00:13:46.682 --> 00:13:51.842 My nose is almost dead on turkey, right? 00:13:52.502 --> 00:13:55.842 Yeah a lot of cinnamon coffee nutmeg like 00:13:55.842 --> 00:14:03.462 yeah that's what bourbon yeah yeah so for me it's yeah like you said that toffee 00:14:03.462 --> 00:14:07.502 caramel cinnamon nutmeg like you would with wild turkey uh but wild turkey i 00:14:07.502 --> 00:14:10.742 get like a little bit of a cherry note with this one i'm getting like a strawberry 00:14:10.742 --> 00:14:15.722 note instead of that cherry note which is kind of nice it brightens it up a little bit more, 00:14:16.362 --> 00:14:22.882 Yeah, so this distillery is actually in the next county over. 00:14:22.882 --> 00:14:25.002 That's where my business is. 00:14:25.242 --> 00:14:30.862 So since I'm already there every fucking day, I'm just going to have to make 00:14:30.862 --> 00:14:33.542 a trip down the road a little farther and go check them out. 00:14:34.402 --> 00:14:40.642 It's in the same county where the store that shall remain nameless happens to a guy. 00:14:41.102 --> 00:14:43.082 Yeah, it's right. More or less down the street. 00:14:44.475 --> 00:14:49.935 Are they open yet? I don't think they're doing tours yet. I've not heard anything about it yet. 00:14:50.795 --> 00:14:55.995 I know on the website when I first picked this up, they said not open yet, 00:14:55.995 --> 00:14:58.675 but will be soon, and I don't see anything yet on it. 00:14:59.055 --> 00:15:02.155 If you're up there. July is what Google says. 00:15:02.915 --> 00:15:07.535 If you swing by and they got a gift shop or something, let me know because in 00:15:07.535 --> 00:15:11.375 two weeks when I'm up there, I might have to make this group that I'm up with 00:15:11.375 --> 00:15:15.535 just swing by and at least check out the gift shop or something if they have it open. 00:15:16.455 --> 00:15:19.255 Yeah, I'll be sure to let you know if I manage to get by there. 00:15:21.255 --> 00:15:27.655 Not always the easiest, you know, when you're running a business and still working 00:15:27.655 --> 00:15:31.895 your day job and then working a third little side job, 00:15:32.355 --> 00:15:37.035 and all that's on top of kids and a wife and everything else. 00:15:37.215 --> 00:15:42.855 But if I'm able to get down there before you end up here, I'll be sure to let you know for sure. 00:15:44.355 --> 00:15:47.495 It's a good pour, though, on the palate. I mean, it's proof-y. 00:15:48.615 --> 00:15:53.315 That proof shows up. Yeah. It's a little hot on the palate, but it has a lot 00:15:53.315 --> 00:15:56.455 of flavor that baking spices carry through to me. 00:15:56.615 --> 00:16:02.255 But I'm almost getting a little bit of peanut thrown in with those baking spices. 00:16:02.835 --> 00:16:09.775 But then the finish, to me, I'm picking up some rye stuff, like peppermint or something like that. 00:16:09.775 --> 00:16:17.055 Get a little bit of that on the finish but then there's a maybe like raisin 00:16:17.055 --> 00:16:20.515 note there's some kind of like dried fruit note on the finish as well. 00:16:22.381 --> 00:16:26.421 On my notes, because I was drinking this the other day, giving samples. 00:16:26.621 --> 00:16:29.081 On the finish, I had dried fruitiness. 00:16:29.401 --> 00:16:33.041 I didn't know if it was raisins, dried fruit dates, figs, whatever, 00:16:33.221 --> 00:16:35.641 but definitely some kind of dried fruit, you know. 00:16:36.321 --> 00:16:39.081 But yeah, proof shows up. That rye spice comes through. 00:16:40.081 --> 00:16:46.861 Coats the whole mouth. And I get this a little bit of like a grapey note towards 00:16:46.861 --> 00:16:51.501 the end of the palate right before, like between the palate and the finish, I guess. 00:16:51.781 --> 00:16:54.641 It almost has like a branding-esque note in there. But yeah, 00:16:55.201 --> 00:16:58.261 finish, that mintiness shows up from the rye. 00:16:58.781 --> 00:17:04.781 I think it's a very well-blended product. There's any part of age on this? 00:17:05.681 --> 00:17:10.941 No age dated, but from what I saw, people are saying it's probably between six 00:17:10.941 --> 00:17:15.901 and eight years since that's about when Wild Turkey starts looking at their stuff. 00:17:16.041 --> 00:17:19.621 And if it's off-profile, they probably just offload it right about that time. 00:17:21.241 --> 00:17:25.881 And i don't know i would say between that six and eight maybe nine if we got 00:17:25.881 --> 00:17:30.121 lucky but there's not much on it they tell you it's single barrel number 37 00:17:30.121 --> 00:17:33.541 but it's not like some companies that'll have, 00:17:34.261 --> 00:17:36.941 the the stats for all the the single barrels or 00:17:36.941 --> 00:17:39.601 at least yet it'd be kind of cool to be able to go on 00:17:39.601 --> 00:17:42.401 the website kind of like how pursuit kind of does it 00:17:42.401 --> 00:17:48.541 if they catch up you just kind of click single barrel 37 see distilled this 00:17:48.541 --> 00:17:54.141 year bottle this year this proof this mash bill sort of deal but maybe we'll 00:17:54.141 --> 00:17:59.201 get convince them to do that in the in the future yeah i don't i'm getting some 00:17:59.201 --> 00:18:01.801 peanut definitely and getting that. 00:18:02.975 --> 00:18:05.855 That mint, peanut's coming after, though. 00:18:05.995 --> 00:18:10.895 It's coming after the finish, after my mouth has had a chance to settle in the 00:18:10.895 --> 00:18:12.615 aftertaste. It tastes like peanut husk. 00:18:13.215 --> 00:18:16.955 It's good. It's enjoyable. The prices are what makes it killer. 00:18:17.095 --> 00:18:23.695 I mean, it's a great fucking whiskey, and this is 121.9 proof right on their 00:18:23.695 --> 00:18:25.795 website. They've got their E.J. 00:18:25.915 --> 00:18:27.755 Curley single barrel at $60. 00:18:28.635 --> 00:18:33.855 They've got their E.J. Curley small batch at $40. And on that same page, 00:18:34.015 --> 00:18:36.175 this is something that I really liked. 00:18:36.295 --> 00:18:39.855 I've got a store locator. So if you don't know where to find it or you're not 00:18:39.855 --> 00:18:41.195 sure if it's close to you, 00:18:41.635 --> 00:18:47.775 you can put your location in by zip code and you've got a search radius that 00:18:47.775 --> 00:18:51.995 you can, you know, within 500 miles, I think is as high as it's going to go. 00:18:52.075 --> 00:18:53.815 Or you can do it within 10 miles and anything. 00:18:54.095 --> 00:18:59.195 Well, not anything, but a lot of different options in between and located. 00:18:59.915 --> 00:19:04.755 It's pretty good stuff. especially for that price and that proof point. That's great. 00:19:05.215 --> 00:19:08.235 I think they're only in Kentucky right now. Yeah. 00:19:08.635 --> 00:19:12.915 But you could, I've seen, I looked the other day, you could get it on seal box. 00:19:13.135 --> 00:19:16.955 If you're able to get it shipped to you single barrel, they have it for 70 bucks. 00:19:17.075 --> 00:19:22.275 The small batch, which comes in at, if I 96 proof is the small batch. 00:19:24.375 --> 00:19:27.375 Yeah, that's all it says on it, but that one's comes in at 50 bucks, 00:19:27.495 --> 00:19:31.775 which I don't, I don't remember that one so much. I remember I tried the small 00:19:31.775 --> 00:19:32.655 batch in the single barrel. 00:19:32.775 --> 00:19:38.055 I like the single barrel more, but shit for $20 difference, less than a $20 difference. 00:19:38.255 --> 00:19:41.415 I'm probably going to go with that one 20 proof every time. Every time. 00:19:42.915 --> 00:19:48.075 Every time. And yeah, you can see on their store locator, you can zoom out and 00:19:48.075 --> 00:19:51.955 see that every location is within the state of Kentucky. 00:19:52.735 --> 00:19:57.455 But you know, it never hurts to, to test the waters and see if they'll ship it to you. 00:19:58.681 --> 00:20:02.741 I don't know if they have shipping on the website. I didn't even look. 00:20:02.921 --> 00:20:05.561 They have a shop ship nationwide. 00:20:06.161 --> 00:20:08.081 Yeah. Ship nationwide. It says. 00:20:09.001 --> 00:20:13.741 So, you know, as long as the state allows it, the state that you live in allows 00:20:13.741 --> 00:20:15.641 it, then you're good to go. 00:20:16.001 --> 00:20:18.621 So shits and giggles. Let's see. 00:20:20.421 --> 00:20:26.941 So to hear 59 99 for the single barrel, a flat standard rate of 19 99 to ship it. 00:20:26.941 --> 00:20:36.061 So to my door 84 78 so 84 there seal box you're looking at 70 bucks plus shipping too so yeah, 00:20:36.601 --> 00:20:39.801 oh the good news for you specifically you jerry is 00:20:39.801 --> 00:20:43.001 that you and paul is that you know somebody who 00:20:43.001 --> 00:20:46.001 lives in the area that can just go fucking get it and you know 00:20:46.001 --> 00:20:49.281 well i also have that the seal 00:20:49.281 --> 00:20:52.321 box pro or whatever it's called so all my seal box orders come 00:20:52.321 --> 00:20:56.221 with free shipping so that works out for me too la-dee-da you 00:20:56.221 --> 00:20:59.101 think i got seal box pro and i can get seal 00:20:59.101 --> 00:21:02.201 box to ship to me i can't fucking get those motherfuckers to 00:21:02.201 --> 00:21:07.101 ship in god damn they did there for like three months yeah they did for three 00:21:07.101 --> 00:21:09.961 months and i'd fucking before they got shut for three months and then they're 00:21:09.961 --> 00:21:14.041 like no we're not doing this anymore fuck you yeah they shut down for whatever 00:21:14.041 --> 00:21:21.641 reason fucking lawyers and shit i reached out to them several times and asked them why, 00:21:22.161 --> 00:21:26.481 and of course they wouldn't answer and i reached out to him several times more to find out if, 00:21:27.021 --> 00:21:31.461 they were like you know if they were gonna start shipping to kentucky again 00:21:31.461 --> 00:21:35.421 and they just gave me a bunch of bullshit oh well no right right now we're not 00:21:35.421 --> 00:21:39.721 going to but if we do we'll be sure to let everybody know that was years ago 00:21:39.721 --> 00:21:43.321 i've not heard a damn thing from them so fuck you seal box. 00:21:44.921 --> 00:21:51.021 Fuck you right uh so you guys alluded to a cigar earlier of course i'm abstaining 00:21:51.021 --> 00:21:56.321 Still getting over this Bronchitis crap So tell us about the cigar guys, 00:21:57.682 --> 00:22:01.062 So pretty sure me and Paul are smoking two different cigars, 00:22:01.222 --> 00:22:05.542 but Paul smoked the one that I'm smoking the other day and said he took notes. 00:22:05.762 --> 00:22:09.742 I'm going with the West Tampa, their Attic Series number one. 00:22:10.202 --> 00:22:14.942 Where did the notes go? So you got Mexican San Andreas Maduro wrapper, 00:22:15.382 --> 00:22:16.682 Nicaraguan binder filler. 00:22:17.262 --> 00:22:22.142 They say medium full. To me, it's more of like a medium. It's a medium body. 00:22:22.542 --> 00:22:24.462 I'd say medium full flavor. 00:22:25.002 --> 00:22:30.542 It's a solid cigar. I'm just about halfway through it right now Ton of like 00:22:30.542 --> 00:22:32.122 toasted wood Toasted cedar. 00:22:32.782 --> 00:22:37.942 The first third was When the smoke was in your mouth Was full of black pepper 00:22:37.942 --> 00:22:42.942 Once you exhaled and like basically swallowed That pepper turned into That black 00:22:42.942 --> 00:22:46.482 pepper turned into like red pepper flakes in your throat But it wasn't overbearing 00:22:46.482 --> 00:22:48.702 It was just kind of tingly back there It was really nice, 00:22:49.202 --> 00:22:51.882 Pepper still there Not so much in the mouth with the 00:22:51.882 --> 00:22:55.102 smoke anymore But that toasted cedarness the 00:22:55.102 --> 00:22:57.862 toasted cedar and wood it came more of like 00:22:57.862 --> 00:23:01.482 a earthiness almost like a a dirty 00:23:01.482 --> 00:23:04.282 earthiness which is very nice at least 00:23:04.282 --> 00:23:07.542 with these first two fours both of them being well the 00:23:07.542 --> 00:23:11.462 first one being sweet with the berry i get a lot of sweetness with the the ej 00:23:11.462 --> 00:23:15.102 curly even though it has a lot of that rye spice in it but there's still good 00:23:15.102 --> 00:23:19.222 sweetness to it and it's working well both of them just like every other west 00:23:19.222 --> 00:23:23.522 tampa cigar that we've ever smoked damn near perfect construction that burn 00:23:23.522 --> 00:23:26.082 I had to retouch it up once because I left it sit. 00:23:26.322 --> 00:23:31.762 And the burn line has one little notch that's not perfectly straight, but everything else is. 00:23:31.902 --> 00:23:36.082 The ash holds on and I'm one to knock the ash off every once in a while because 00:23:36.082 --> 00:23:40.642 I hate it when I have to clean up the floor or if it falls in my drink or anything like that. 00:23:41.641 --> 00:23:48.241 But great cigar. Another fantastic one from West Tampa. I don't think I've had a bad one. 00:23:48.901 --> 00:23:53.381 Their white label, I would say, is probably my least favorite just because it's 00:23:53.381 --> 00:23:56.841 lighter in flavor, but all of them are fantastic cigars. 00:23:57.401 --> 00:23:59.741 Yeah, I agree. I smoked that one last week. 00:24:01.501 --> 00:24:06.041 Yeah, a lot of the same notes I wrote down. Cedar and red pepper flake I was 00:24:06.041 --> 00:24:09.541 getting over the first third and it mellowed out a little bit, 00:24:09.681 --> 00:24:14.201 got a little less spicy. I mean, the spice was nice, but it got a little less spicy as I went on. 00:24:14.441 --> 00:24:16.741 I was picking up like, you know, earthy notes. 00:24:17.141 --> 00:24:21.441 Maybe I like a hint of like a, I don't even say a sweet chocolate, 00:24:21.481 --> 00:24:23.781 almost like a baker's chocolate, like a little cocoa note. 00:24:24.461 --> 00:24:28.481 Now I was drinking these same, I had a little tiny sip of each of these same 00:24:28.481 --> 00:24:33.901 three whiskeys last week when I did smoke the cigar, which two of them had the berry notes in it. 00:24:33.901 --> 00:24:38.961 So I wrote down I was getting a slight berry note coming in between the second 00:24:38.961 --> 00:24:42.041 and the third portion of the cigar. 00:24:42.241 --> 00:24:46.441 So I guess as you smoke it, let me know as you get towards the finish if that 00:24:46.441 --> 00:24:50.001 berry note was just coming from the whiskey or if you're... I was picking up 00:24:50.001 --> 00:24:53.061 this weird, like, dried berry cigar. 00:24:54.321 --> 00:24:58.801 It's starting to become a little bit sweeter, but it's just sweet. 00:24:58.901 --> 00:25:05.361 There's no, like, note to it yet. But like I said, I'm just getting to that halfway mark. 00:25:05.501 --> 00:25:10.361 But there is some sweetness to it. But to me, there's nothing identifying what 00:25:10.361 --> 00:25:13.021 that sweetness is yet. So I'm wondering if that's like that very note. 00:25:13.321 --> 00:25:16.621 But I don't know if it's going to show up on camera. That damn line is, 00:25:16.781 --> 00:25:19.981 for one touch-up, is pretty damn good. I'm happy with it. 00:25:20.821 --> 00:25:24.381 Yeah, it was like, like I said, perfect construction. Cut perfectly. 00:25:24.801 --> 00:25:27.181 I got nothing but good things to say about West Tampa. 00:25:28.081 --> 00:25:30.821 And Rick is a great guy. we had him 00:25:30.821 --> 00:25:33.681 on here if you haven't listened to it go back to it i 00:25:33.681 --> 00:25:36.721 don't remember how far back that episode was but we had 00:25:36.721 --> 00:25:40.521 a great time with him talking chatting with him maybe we get him back on to 00:25:40.521 --> 00:25:45.261 smoke some more cigars and he's a beer guy so maybe we get some shit beer some 00:25:45.261 --> 00:25:50.881 blood light some coors light shit and drink and smoke with him that sounds like 00:25:50.881 --> 00:25:55.941 a good time guys should get some Modelo mango and chili beer. 00:25:57.781 --> 00:26:02.661 And these are, it's, it's disappointing how low the alcohol content of these 00:26:02.661 --> 00:26:06.941 motherfuckers is three and a half percent alcohol, but you can drink these big 00:26:06.941 --> 00:26:10.541 sons of bitches right here all day long. I drank 10 or no, 00:26:11.753 --> 00:26:14.473 drank the equivalent of 14 beers this is two beers in this can 00:26:14.473 --> 00:26:17.613 i drank the equivalent of 14 beers yesterday and was 00:26:17.613 --> 00:26:23.553 just slightly buzzed so you know see you know take that how you want but this 00:26:23.553 --> 00:26:27.213 is this is a good beer so maybe we can get some of these on while we talk to 00:26:27.213 --> 00:26:30.633 rick because i'm sure he'll join us again he he said he would he said as much 00:26:30.633 --> 00:26:34.033 during the episode he's a lot of fun so paul i didn't mean to interrupt but 00:26:34.033 --> 00:26:35.453 i just wanted to go ahead and throw that out there, 00:26:35.933 --> 00:26:39.793 that'd have to be shitty beer yeah i hear that and i bet you a little floater 00:26:39.793 --> 00:26:43.093 of tequila in that beer would probably go pretty nicely as well if you want 00:26:43.093 --> 00:26:47.613 to spice it up a little bit god damn it paul i'm about to go get some fucking 00:26:47.613 --> 00:26:51.573 tequila right now so i'll be right back we're gonna find out how to snag it 00:26:51.573 --> 00:26:55.073 up your proof a little bit get you where you need to be quicker but uh. 00:26:55.773 --> 00:26:58.553 Well i'm does that what uh what cigar are you smoking paul 00:26:58.553 --> 00:27:01.793 so since i spoke that addict series one 00:27:01.793 --> 00:27:04.553 from west tampa last week when we didn't have 00:27:04.553 --> 00:27:07.333 an episode i grabbed i thought 00:27:07.333 --> 00:27:10.493 i was grabbing one from west tampa because i bought it in tampa 00:27:10.493 --> 00:27:13.253 a couple weeks ago when when you and 00:27:13.253 --> 00:27:15.953 i went to jc newman and i was 00:27:15.953 --> 00:27:20.453 just picking cigars out of their humidor and throwing them in my box you know 00:27:20.453 --> 00:27:24.353 to buy and i didn't even really pay attention to where this one came from it 00:27:24.353 --> 00:27:29.113 had a cool label it's a guy on it looks like he's holding a teacup which was 00:27:29.113 --> 00:27:32.473 like a cowboy hat on with his head down you can just barely see the bottom of 00:27:32.473 --> 00:27:34.533 his chin just a label that jumped out to me. 00:27:35.113 --> 00:27:40.653 I think it was like $14, so I grabbed it and didn't even really have figured 00:27:40.653 --> 00:27:42.393 it was either West Tampa or J.C. 00:27:42.493 --> 00:27:45.553 Newman because that seemed to be what was in J.C. Newman's gift shop. 00:27:45.993 --> 00:27:49.653 This one, when I looked it up to see who made it because it didn't really say 00:27:49.653 --> 00:27:54.373 on the label, it's a company called Tabanero Cigars. 00:27:55.573 --> 00:28:01.513 TabaneroCigars.com I'm smoking a Toro. This is a medium cigar, I would say. 00:28:01.753 --> 00:28:05.913 It's Ecuadorian Sun Grove Bono rapper, Ecuadorian binder. 00:28:06.233 --> 00:28:08.533 The filler is Nicaraguan, Mastelli. 00:28:09.782 --> 00:28:15.322 Lapa, and Condiga. So a mixed filler. It's a great cigar. Great draw. 00:28:15.822 --> 00:28:19.742 It says, born in Tampa, Florida, handmade in Esteli, Nicaragua. 00:28:20.022 --> 00:28:23.922 It started out, I was kind of meh on it. 00:28:24.162 --> 00:28:31.942 The first half of the first third, it just had no discernible notes on the first light. 00:28:32.262 --> 00:28:35.502 It was just smoking a cigar. 00:28:36.102 --> 00:28:39.462 It's kind of evolved a little bit, and it's getting much better. it's 00:28:39.462 --> 00:28:42.302 got a great draw produces a great amount of smoke 00:28:42.302 --> 00:28:45.102 and smoke's a weird color i was noticing that i 00:28:45.102 --> 00:28:48.422 got you know a spot cooler right next to me and i got an exhaust 00:28:48.422 --> 00:28:51.322 fan drawing smoke out of here stuff so the smoke 00:28:51.322 --> 00:28:57.062 doesn't linger in my setup but it's like a whitish gray smoke but then i look 00:28:57.062 --> 00:29:02.022 on their website and they say uh gentle with a blue smoke which i can kind of 00:29:02.022 --> 00:29:06.082 see i can kind of see that because i had no taking notice of the different color 00:29:06.082 --> 00:29:09.942 or the you know of the odder color of the smoke. 00:29:11.082 --> 00:29:15.222 So, but it's, it's, it's a nice cigar. It's creamy, buttery. 00:29:16.082 --> 00:29:22.442 It's basic tones though. Wood, earthy, cedar, but I'm just getting into the second, third. 00:29:22.702 --> 00:29:26.782 And like I said, at first I was like, I'm not, I'm not sure about this one, 00:29:26.882 --> 00:29:32.562 but it's definitely developing into a pretty fine cigar and it's going nicely 00:29:32.562 --> 00:29:35.742 with these whiskeys so far. Yeah. 00:29:36.842 --> 00:29:40.902 So I'm kind of interested to see how it evolves getting into it because it started 00:29:40.902 --> 00:29:44.722 off just kind of, I don't want to say bland because it's a good cigar, 00:29:45.042 --> 00:29:49.702 but it didn't have any notes of, you know, like you, like that addict series 00:29:49.702 --> 00:29:54.262 that you're smoking has that defined notes of cedar and pepper that pops right in that first third. 00:29:54.462 --> 00:29:57.002 This one just had, you know, didn't have anything that popped, 00:29:57.162 --> 00:30:01.162 but it's starting to get, yeah, just, but it's starting to get, 00:30:01.242 --> 00:30:02.862 I mean, starting to get there. 00:30:03.262 --> 00:30:08.042 So like I said, I'm fairly into it. So we're torqued back as we go, 00:30:08.222 --> 00:30:12.242 but for $14 and it's a damn good scar, very well made. 00:30:12.702 --> 00:30:17.902 Hasn't gone out on me yet. Pretty damn good burn line. Got a little wonky on one little spot. 00:30:18.202 --> 00:30:20.402 Looks like the wrapper might have been tight on the one spot, 00:30:20.502 --> 00:30:25.622 but got through that gorgeous looking scar, really oily on the outer. 00:30:26.162 --> 00:30:31.902 So no, I mean, I'm enjoying it. It's going well. I'm interested to see how it finishes. 00:30:33.062 --> 00:30:39.822 So a quick search on that cigar, I guess right about the same time that J.C. 00:30:39.922 --> 00:30:44.882 Newman basically started their fourth generation cigar co, basically when Drew 00:30:44.882 --> 00:30:49.802 came around and started making the American and his basically trying to put his mark on the J.C. 00:30:50.062 --> 00:30:54.602 Newman name that the, I'm going to butcher the guy, where do you even go? 00:30:54.602 --> 00:30:58.562 I looked up for a second and missed it and lost it Yanko. Mercedes. 00:30:59.502 --> 00:31:01.742 Gonna butcher that like crazy. I'm sorry for that. 00:31:02.923 --> 00:31:06.343 This is right about the same time that he wanted to come to Ybor and try to 00:31:06.343 --> 00:31:09.783 get Ybor back to the cigar city like it used to be. 00:31:10.143 --> 00:31:15.523 And I guess there was a bunch of back and forth with Tabanero Cigars and J.C. 00:31:15.823 --> 00:31:19.523 Newman's trying to, I guess, the Newman's helped him out, start up a little 00:31:19.523 --> 00:31:21.163 bit, I guess, or try to help push him. 00:31:21.323 --> 00:31:28.003 And yeah, that whole area with the Ybor City Cigars, whether it's West Tampa, J.C. 00:31:28.123 --> 00:31:32.583 Newman's now the one Paul's smoking, it seems like a very close-knit community. 00:31:33.503 --> 00:31:39.423 And if you've ever looked at Ybor City in the past and seen all the cigar companies 00:31:39.423 --> 00:31:43.703 that used to be around, you would know why it's called the Cigar City. 00:31:44.743 --> 00:31:50.023 It's basically every corner there's a cigar company. So hopefully these smaller 00:31:50.023 --> 00:31:53.683 brands like the West Tampas and the one Paul Smokin, 00:31:53.683 --> 00:31:59.323 hopefully more will show up and Ybor will once again be cigar capital of the 00:31:59.323 --> 00:32:01.203 world, or at least the U.S. 00:32:01.203 --> 00:32:04.423 Because it's a cool little area, a lot of construction going around it, 00:32:04.483 --> 00:32:12.403 but it'd be cool to see some more cigar companies down there and do a little sightseeing next time. 00:32:12.703 --> 00:32:15.743 Yeah, I walked around the city my last day there. 00:32:16.263 --> 00:32:20.563 It was a hotel, but I made the rounds. There's a lot of great little cigar shops 00:32:20.563 --> 00:32:25.003 that I popped into that kind of have their own brand or their own label. 00:32:25.623 --> 00:32:29.343 And yeah, I mean, there's a bunch of it. It's a small city. You know, 00:32:29.443 --> 00:32:32.063 it's only like eight square blocks or something like that. 00:32:32.163 --> 00:32:34.603 That's the heart of Ybor City, I guess you would call it. 00:32:35.463 --> 00:32:38.923 Roosters and chickens everywhere, which I did not know anything about. 00:32:38.923 --> 00:32:41.363 So that kind of caught me off guard, walking down the street. 00:32:41.563 --> 00:32:45.803 This rooster just walks by you on the sidewalk right next to you. I'm like, what the hell? 00:32:47.214 --> 00:32:51.414 Unfortunately, a lot of homeless, too. So I'm surprised that the roosters have 00:32:51.414 --> 00:32:53.054 survived as long as they have. 00:32:53.894 --> 00:32:57.874 But they're cock-a-doodle-dooing the whole, you know, as you're walking by. 00:32:57.874 --> 00:33:00.234 It's crazy. I took a bunch of videos to show my kid. 00:33:00.494 --> 00:33:04.274 I mean, you're just walking through the city, and you're hearing roosters. 00:33:04.514 --> 00:33:09.434 It's crazy. But it's a cool little city. We went through a couple nice pizza 00:33:09.434 --> 00:33:14.734 joints, sampled some pizza, went to some cigar shops, Sterling Cigar Lounge. 00:33:14.894 --> 00:33:18.754 I spent several hours in there. I think I smoked two cigars in there and had 00:33:18.754 --> 00:33:21.754 a bunch of cocktails and listened to some live music. 00:33:22.614 --> 00:33:26.934 Really cool. They have a beautiful indoor bar, walk-in humidor. 00:33:27.314 --> 00:33:30.654 And then on either side of the indoor bar, they have rooftop seating. 00:33:30.894 --> 00:33:34.174 They have nice misters to keep you cool, big fans blowing. 00:33:34.954 --> 00:33:39.114 Great experience. That was a really cool spot. Whenever I'm back in Ybor City, 00:33:39.274 --> 00:33:42.174 that Sterling cigar lounge is a definite stop in again. 00:33:42.954 --> 00:33:49.074 But yeah, no, I mean, I'm assuming everything you said was true about the Newmans 00:33:49.074 --> 00:33:52.794 helping these guys out, because like I said, I bought this out of J.C. Newman's gift shop. 00:33:53.094 --> 00:33:59.054 So they're definitely supporting some other brands out of their gift shop, which is good to see. 00:33:59.054 --> 00:34:04.614 That could easily be like a lot of other outlets that just sell their own product, 00:34:04.834 --> 00:34:12.694 but to see a cigar brand selling other cigar out of their own in Medora is pretty cool to see. 00:34:12.974 --> 00:34:15.034 So, good cigar overall. I like it and. 00:34:16.490 --> 00:34:19.290 Going see where this one goes so adam i 00:34:19.290 --> 00:34:22.270 see you walk back in with a nice big old pint glass i did 00:34:22.270 --> 00:34:29.410 i did and so as you can see it's not the color of a standard beer it is kind 00:34:29.410 --> 00:34:38.970 of orangish pink fine you know it does have a don ramon floater in this bad 00:34:38.970 --> 00:34:41.270 boy and that reminds me, Jerry, 00:34:41.670 --> 00:34:47.750 that if you can find it in your heart to drag another bottle of Don Ramone up 00:34:47.750 --> 00:34:53.090 this way when you come, I'll be glad to send you some caches to do so because 00:34:53.090 --> 00:34:55.910 I can't get it up here and I love it. 00:34:56.310 --> 00:35:01.390 But this is delicious. This is absolutely delicious. 00:35:01.750 --> 00:35:04.870 So I'm going to take it easy on that. 00:35:05.170 --> 00:35:08.460 I don't want to be slurring on this podcast. podcast 00:35:08.460 --> 00:35:11.240 that's a different podcast that paul and i are a part 00:35:11.240 --> 00:35:14.020 of and jerry should join us on from time to 00:35:14.020 --> 00:35:16.760 time i know he had intentions to do so and it just 00:35:16.760 --> 00:35:19.860 hasn't happened yet we really need to get some new episodes 00:35:19.860 --> 00:35:25.180 out because there's all kinds of crazy shit to talk about right now but yeah 00:35:25.180 --> 00:35:31.020 at any rate it's delicious i'm not gonna you know keep keep going on that beat 00:35:31.020 --> 00:35:36.120 that dead horse too much tell us about the beard product paul yeah i came across 00:35:36.120 --> 00:35:37.560 this brand i think it was just a 00:35:37.780 --> 00:35:43.140 pop up on Instagram or something like that called Elegant Sasquatch. 00:35:43.620 --> 00:35:45.700 Their website, it's an Etsy shop. 00:35:47.820 --> 00:35:51.480 ElegantSasquatchCo.etsy.com. Pretty good company. I looked at their products. 00:35:51.800 --> 00:35:55.700 It looks, a lot of their content or labels on their Etsy shop like many other 00:35:55.700 --> 00:35:59.320 Etsy shops. Looks AI created a lot of the labels and stuff. 00:36:00.520 --> 00:36:07.500 Good product. I've been using this for a couple weeks now, and I got nothing bad to say about it. 00:36:07.600 --> 00:36:13.100 I mean, the scent that I kept for myself is called Lucky Peer Oil, 00:36:13.540 --> 00:36:17.520 and it's lavender, vanilla, woodsy, and musk. 00:36:18.620 --> 00:36:24.040 And the woodsy and the musk definitely come through first, but you do have those 00:36:24.040 --> 00:36:25.840 undertones of floral, vanilla. 00:36:26.160 --> 00:36:30.080 So it's a good scent. It's a light scent. It's not overpowering whatsoever. 00:36:30.620 --> 00:36:35.500 It doesn't really linger too much, which is fine for me. I don't wear beard 00:36:35.500 --> 00:36:36.920 oil as perfume or cologne. 00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:41.180 It's nice sometimes when a good scent does linger around for a few hours. 00:36:41.340 --> 00:36:45.800 But this one, for me, this scent tends to fade because it's a lighter scent anyway. 00:36:46.200 --> 00:36:49.660 I sent you guys two samples each, so I'm interested to see what you've got to 00:36:49.660 --> 00:36:53.880 say about your scents. But the ingredients are great. 00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:58.700 Organic sunflower seed oil, organic rosehip oil, avocado oil, 00:36:58.840 --> 00:37:02.560 johabba oil. sweet almond oil, vitamin D, and fragrance oils. 00:37:03.060 --> 00:37:07.540 They sell washes, butters, balms, and oils. The pack that I... 00:37:07.540 --> 00:37:11.340 Well, their oils are one ounce oils for $15.50. 00:37:11.980 --> 00:37:15.360 I got a... It's called the OG sample pack. 00:37:15.720 --> 00:37:20.280 Assuming the OG means probably their first couple cents. It was five half-ounce 00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:22.200 samples, which is a big damn sample. 00:37:22.540 --> 00:37:26.180 And they come in half-ounce dropper bottles, and that's $20. 00:37:26.180 --> 00:37:29.100 Bucks so and in my mind that's 00:37:29.100 --> 00:37:32.240 the value right there is to get the sample pack be 00:37:32.240 --> 00:37:35.040 at five different scents you get two and a half ounces of oil for 00:37:35.040 --> 00:37:41.800 20 bucks or you can get just one set of one ounce oil for 15.50 so i think it's 00:37:41.800 --> 00:37:45.000 a no-brainer if you're new to the brand to try a couple different scents to 00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:49.320 get that sample pack for 20 bucks and you get a ton of oil for a sample pack 00:37:49.320 --> 00:37:52.480 i mean a lot of times sample packs are five to ten milliliters. 00:37:53.966 --> 00:37:57.266 That and this is a good half ounce 00:37:57.266 --> 00:38:01.566 with the dropper you know in each bottle so i i'm 00:38:01.566 --> 00:38:05.066 a fan i mean there seems to be a smaller company i 00:38:05.066 --> 00:38:08.526 don't think like i think i got directed to them from instagram and i think they 00:38:08.526 --> 00:38:13.306 only have like 1500 followers so they could have a footprint somewhere else 00:38:13.306 --> 00:38:19.246 that's bigger but i think it's more of a smaller brand but they got good ingredients 00:38:19.246 --> 00:38:23.606 they got good prices and i'm pleased with the oil that i've been using what about you guys, 00:38:24.806 --> 00:38:28.186 yeah i've used them almost exclusively over 00:38:28.186 --> 00:38:31.486 the last i'd say month or so except for 00:38:31.486 --> 00:38:34.486 a day or two here and there i've really enjoyed 00:38:34.486 --> 00:38:37.266 them beard feels great which is always 00:38:37.266 --> 00:38:40.566 a thing i worry about trying different brands especially new 00:38:40.566 --> 00:38:43.466 ones that i've never heard of but i've enjoyed these 00:38:43.466 --> 00:38:46.586 guys a lot i might actually pick up one of these down the 00:38:46.586 --> 00:38:49.886 road i got so many right now but and like 00:38:49.886 --> 00:38:52.846 paul said they're half ounce samples I've been using I said 00:38:52.846 --> 00:38:57.946 for about a month and I probably have half a bottle total left over so this 00:38:57.946 --> 00:39:02.766 is gonna last a good while for me the first one that I have is the Adonis I 00:39:02.766 --> 00:39:07.066 think I said that right they say it's a dynamic fusion of fiery red saffron 00:39:07.066 --> 00:39:12.686 zesty red grapefruit and robust redwood that combine to create a scent that it it, 00:39:13.586 --> 00:39:19.726 eludes boldness and allure yeah this it smells like a almost like a I don't know. 00:39:20.746 --> 00:39:24.886 It almost reminds me of what you would think a high-end like 00:39:24.886 --> 00:39:27.526 body soap or something or something that you 00:39:27.526 --> 00:39:30.946 would have at like a spa it's refreshing very 00:39:30.946 --> 00:39:35.046 nice scent the weird thing about this one i don't know if it's going to come 00:39:35.046 --> 00:39:42.886 up on the camera nope not at all it it has like a pink hue to it yep it did 00:39:42.886 --> 00:39:48.946 right at the end right before you started talking i picked up on a little off-color tint to it. 00:39:49.206 --> 00:39:53.406 Yeah, I was dropping it. I'm looking at it. I'm like, yeah, there's a weird side. 00:39:53.666 --> 00:39:56.826 Open up the other one. The other one is all but damn near clear, 00:39:57.406 --> 00:40:01.626 which I don't know what would be in there unless it's the saffron that kind 00:40:01.626 --> 00:40:02.826 of gives it a little bit of that reddish. 00:40:03.166 --> 00:40:06.826 But that's a great scent. I use this one for the most part because I liked it 00:40:06.826 --> 00:40:10.246 a lot. And then the second one was New Money. 00:40:10.846 --> 00:40:13.386 This one's probably my favorite of these two. 00:40:14.186 --> 00:40:17.106 I don't know. I see A lot of times with companies using money, 00:40:17.266 --> 00:40:21.526 new money, billionaire, whatever names don't typically like the scent of it, 00:40:21.666 --> 00:40:22.946 but this one is mandarin, 00:40:23.646 --> 00:40:28.546 sage, and smoky vetivir, and this one smells like a nice solid, 00:40:28.546 --> 00:40:32.906 like cologne, and I've been digging cologne scent, beard oils, 00:40:33.106 --> 00:40:36.686 and products here within the last year or so for whatever reason. 00:40:38.591 --> 00:40:42.851 This one is probably one that I'll end up picking up very nice, clean scent. 00:40:43.631 --> 00:40:47.031 The, the sense last, I don't know. 00:40:47.331 --> 00:40:51.151 It's a good, like strong scent for about two hours, give her about an hour and 00:40:51.151 --> 00:40:54.271 a half, two hours after that, it dies down, but sticks around for about four, 00:40:54.771 --> 00:40:56.971 five hours after that, it kind of dissipates. 00:40:57.071 --> 00:41:00.731 You got to actually send, look for it, which is nice. Cause like Paul said, 00:41:01.251 --> 00:41:04.431 there's always, they always, well, I think this, this place has it, 00:41:04.431 --> 00:41:07.191 but you can always buy cologne if you want to smell good all day 00:41:07.191 --> 00:41:09.991 or whatever but that four to six hours is 00:41:09.991 --> 00:41:12.911 usually what i'm going for that way i could throw more 00:41:12.911 --> 00:41:16.951 on at night if we're going somewhere throw on some uh lavender lavender 00:41:16.951 --> 00:41:21.831 or some nighttime scent ones if i just want to hang out and relax but yeah i've 00:41:21.831 --> 00:41:27.351 enjoyed these a lot yeah both these were great scents but i'm gonna probably 00:41:27.351 --> 00:41:33.651 end up buying the uh new money when uh time comes around to look for new beard oils. 00:41:33.831 --> 00:41:39.391 Like I said, I just got so many samples and shit in the bathroom right now. 00:41:39.531 --> 00:41:45.471 I kind of want to fuse through those and not waste some money and throw bottles out. But great company. 00:41:46.411 --> 00:41:54.471 Yeah. So as I recall, the sample that I got from Paul was the cigar lounge. 00:41:55.351 --> 00:42:04.351 And I liked it so much that I ended up buying that, buying a bottle if you go 00:42:04.351 --> 00:42:08.211 back and listen to the very first episode I, 00:42:08.938 --> 00:42:13.018 Even an episode that I recorded before Paul joined me on this, 00:42:13.278 --> 00:42:17.698 anybody that's been listening since the beginning would know that the first 00:42:17.698 --> 00:42:19.878 few episodes were Paul and I, and we brought Jerry on. 00:42:19.958 --> 00:42:24.178 But what most people don't know is that the very first, very first episode that 00:42:24.178 --> 00:42:26.858 was ever recorded was just me by myself. 00:42:27.098 --> 00:42:34.758 And so both first episodes, just me by myself and then Paul and I were tobacco-scented 00:42:34.758 --> 00:42:38.098 beard products from a different company altogether. 00:42:38.938 --> 00:42:44.078 And I really, really enjoy those aromas, especially my beard, 00:42:44.278 --> 00:42:49.578 especially because, you know, Jerry has a beard, but his beard's not quite as 00:42:49.578 --> 00:42:53.018 large as mine and definitely not as large as Paul's. 00:42:53.118 --> 00:42:57.378 Paul's is bigger than both of ours. It's actually bigger than both of ours combined. 00:42:58.298 --> 00:43:00.998 But when you've got that much hair on your face and you smoke cigars, 00:43:01.038 --> 00:43:02.518 it tends to stick around with you. 00:43:02.698 --> 00:43:07.878 It hangs around in your beard like crazy. And when you've got a larger beard, 00:43:08.138 --> 00:43:12.618 there's more hair for the smoke to stick to. 00:43:12.858 --> 00:43:18.918 And so you end up smelling it for a long time, especially if you go to a cigar 00:43:18.918 --> 00:43:22.298 bar, you know, you're around other people that are smoking cigars. 00:43:22.498 --> 00:43:25.718 The whole damn room is full of people smoking cigars. You're sitting in close 00:43:25.718 --> 00:43:28.238 proximity with people smoking cigars. 00:43:28.358 --> 00:43:31.178 So their smoke is in your beard. Your smoke is in your beard. 00:43:31.938 --> 00:43:35.558 Something like this really kind of helps to. 00:43:35.838 --> 00:43:40.318 To alleviate that. And I went on Friday night to a cigar bar. 00:43:40.418 --> 00:43:46.718 And then the very next day I had to go for some training on Saturday morning. And. 00:43:47.738 --> 00:43:52.438 When I woke up, I just, I smelled like I took an ashtray and rubbed my face with it. 00:43:53.038 --> 00:43:57.758 And it was, it was, it was bad. So I grabbed that, that I'm sorry, 00:43:57.838 --> 00:43:58.798 I'm forgetting the name of it. 00:43:58.938 --> 00:44:03.118 The cigar lounge, beard oil, and threw that in there on my way out the door. 00:44:03.438 --> 00:44:11.398 And that stale cigar smoke smell was gone because this kind of just blended 00:44:11.398 --> 00:44:17.298 with, it didn't cover it up, but it just kind of took it back to a fresher version of itself. 00:44:17.298 --> 00:44:20.038 And and and less overpowering of course 00:44:20.038 --> 00:44:22.898 the the hair is you know it feels great i'm 00:44:22.898 --> 00:44:25.818 i'm not sitting in the dark but you know i'm sitting in 00:44:25.818 --> 00:44:29.498 in a garage with natural light and whatever and i can see in 00:44:29.498 --> 00:44:32.798 the camera you know how healthy it looks on the 00:44:32.798 --> 00:44:36.698 side that's actually getting some daylight through the garage door it's 00:44:36.698 --> 00:44:39.598 soft it's you know my face is not broken out 00:44:39.598 --> 00:44:42.598 one damn time good stuff 00:44:42.598 --> 00:44:45.358 good stuff so you know the sample that 00:44:45.358 --> 00:44:48.498 paul sent has run out and and the damn 00:44:48.498 --> 00:44:51.558 bottle's been lost so if i didn't get cigar lounge from 00:44:51.558 --> 00:44:55.978 paul i think i think that's what you sent me but i i think that's what i told 00:44:55.978 --> 00:45:01.498 you that i would want out of those but uh if if i end up being wrong regardless 00:45:01.498 --> 00:45:06.838 of that what i purchased is cigar lounge and that's what i've been using most 00:45:06.838 --> 00:45:08.878 recently but these products are great. 00:45:09.018 --> 00:45:11.558 It's all handmade. It's all natural products. 00:45:12.018 --> 00:45:16.278 Organic sunflower seed, organic rosehip oil, avocado oil, jojoba. 00:45:16.818 --> 00:45:18.778 Sweet almond, vitamin E, and fragrance. 00:45:19.138 --> 00:45:23.998 And the description says that it's a sweet tobacco vanilla is a mesmerizing 00:45:23.998 --> 00:45:29.698 fusion of amber, vanilla, and tobacco crafting a mysterious and enticing aroma. 00:45:29.938 --> 00:45:35.558 This fragrance emanates both a sugary allure and a smoky depth culminating in 00:45:35.558 --> 00:45:38.598 a distinctive and utterly irresistible olfactory journey. 00:45:38.758 --> 00:45:43.778 And I don't know about irresistible and whatever. Of course, 00:45:43.858 --> 00:45:46.118 they got to make it sound great. My wife likes it. 00:45:47.161 --> 00:45:51.281 Somehow she's able to resist me regardless of whether or not I'm wearing this 00:45:51.281 --> 00:45:54.301 beard oil, but she likes it just the same. I like it. 00:45:55.721 --> 00:46:01.581 So, you know, that's really what matters, right? It's all natural, made in the USA. 00:46:02.081 --> 00:46:05.581 This one doesn't, as far as I can tell, isn't veteran owned, 00:46:05.741 --> 00:46:09.361 which is, you know, something we aim for, but that's all right that it's not. 00:46:09.481 --> 00:46:15.281 You know, we don't always hit that target, but that being said, 00:46:15.381 --> 00:46:16.321 this is a pretty good beard oil. 00:46:16.321 --> 00:46:20.021 And you know i just want to reiterate there's 00:46:20.021 --> 00:46:22.821 something we haven't said in a while but even if 00:46:22.821 --> 00:46:25.661 you don't have a beard you can use these products you can use them on your face 00:46:25.661 --> 00:46:29.281 you can use them on your head you can use them in your hair my wife's 00:46:29.281 --> 00:46:32.981 been using a lot of almond oil and jojoba 00:46:32.981 --> 00:46:35.801 oil and she ordered all this shit on amazon didn't bother 00:46:35.801 --> 00:46:38.521 to think that i already had some because i've been 00:46:38.521 --> 00:46:41.701 making my own beard oil for a while and i could have just given her what 00:46:41.701 --> 00:46:44.721 i had so now that i've reminded her when she runs out 00:46:44.721 --> 00:46:47.541 she'll you know she can just have what i already 00:46:47.541 --> 00:46:50.341 had but you can use these products you know even 00:46:50.341 --> 00:46:53.121 though they say beard oil on them there are other 00:46:53.121 --> 00:46:56.341 uses for things with these ingredients and especially 00:46:56.341 --> 00:46:59.401 when they're all natural so you know great for yourself 00:46:59.401 --> 00:47:02.061 if you have a beard great for your 00:47:02.061 --> 00:47:04.801 wife if she might you know some of these scents that she likes and maybe 00:47:04.801 --> 00:47:08.401 she wants to use them in her hair or if you're a woman and you want to use some 00:47:08.401 --> 00:47:11.241 of these on your skin or your hair and you want to get that for your you know 00:47:11.241 --> 00:47:15.001 get some more for your husband whatever it's it's you know don't let the term 00:47:15.001 --> 00:47:19.461 beard oil throw you off some of these these products can be used for everybody 00:47:19.461 --> 00:47:22.821 and these products are worth being used by everybody. 00:47:23.381 --> 00:47:31.141 Well they're more or less just a moisturizer in a oil form right so and i know 00:47:31.141 --> 00:47:36.141 when i kind of trim up the the beard the cheek line i'll throw some oil in it 00:47:36.141 --> 00:47:38.061 as like a aftershave sort of deal. 00:47:38.821 --> 00:47:41.501 Yeah like like adam said it's even though it says 00:47:41.501 --> 00:47:44.761 beard oil it's it's like one of those 12 00:47:44.761 --> 00:47:48.281 in one tools it has a million different uh things 00:47:48.281 --> 00:47:51.181 you could do for it indeed i definitely throw 00:47:51.181 --> 00:47:54.021 it on my head after i shave my head i know paul does the same thing 00:47:54.021 --> 00:47:57.001 you know helps prevent ingrown hair but 00:47:57.001 --> 00:47:59.901 not necessarily ingrown hairs but razor burn you know 00:47:59.901 --> 00:48:02.981 and it just it adds to the natural oils that we're shaving away 00:48:02.981 --> 00:48:06.061 you know that our skin produces and it it smells good 00:48:06.061 --> 00:48:08.981 so why not and then not so much beard 00:48:08.981 --> 00:48:15.041 oil because that absorbs in very quick but during the the winter down here especially 00:48:15.041 --> 00:48:19.841 me working at an ice rink i have bad eczema when it starts getting cooler and 00:48:19.841 --> 00:48:23.741 i start messing around with the ice but either beard balm or beard butter after 00:48:23.741 --> 00:48:26.961 i rub it in i'll throw some on my hands and use it as like a lotion sort of 00:48:26.961 --> 00:48:28.361 deal and it helps out like, 00:48:28.821 --> 00:48:33.601 i i used that exclusively last year for this past winter which was actually 00:48:33.601 --> 00:48:36.321 probably one of the coldest winters we've had in Florida in a long time. 00:48:37.583 --> 00:48:40.883 And instead of using like the normal hand creams and lotions that I typically 00:48:40.883 --> 00:48:42.323 use, just straight butter. 00:48:43.283 --> 00:48:47.583 And I don't think I had one outbreak. So you can always use it for that stuff, 00:48:47.703 --> 00:48:51.743 which is for me, it's awesome because I'll sit there and scratch my hands with 00:48:51.743 --> 00:48:56.543 that shit and bleed and get all the scabs and all that shit. 00:48:56.663 --> 00:49:01.503 It's fucking terrible. But with that oil and butter and balm, it didn't come through. 00:49:01.683 --> 00:49:04.083 So there's always that that you could use it for. 00:49:05.223 --> 00:49:11.603 Yep. I did wash my head. was balms. And then I got some beard news throughout 00:49:11.603 --> 00:49:15.963 the couple different companies that I want to kind of touch on before we move on to this last pour. 00:49:17.323 --> 00:49:20.123 One of them, I had it written down for last week. 00:49:20.763 --> 00:49:24.883 It's not going to apply because by the time this comes out, they're going to 00:49:24.883 --> 00:49:28.363 be closed. But Cervantes Beard Co., we had them on fairly recently. 00:49:28.923 --> 00:49:34.003 They're closing on June 30th, so tomorrow they're closing down. 00:49:34.223 --> 00:49:38.163 They're going to spend more time with family. and friends and they're shutting down the shop. 00:49:38.383 --> 00:49:42.863 So unfortunately, that company will be closed by the time this episode comes out. 00:49:43.183 --> 00:49:48.143 But on that news, on that note, Anointed Beard, who shut down last year, 00:49:48.583 --> 00:49:52.643 literally like a month after we had their product on the show, 00:49:52.843 --> 00:49:57.283 he posted on their Facebook page that, and it's quote unquote, 00:49:57.583 --> 00:49:59.943 so I just set up my station to make beard products again. 00:50:00.163 --> 00:50:04.803 See you soon. So be on the lookout for Anointed Beard. I enjoyed those guys a lot. 00:50:06.130 --> 00:50:10.850 When he shut down, I was upset because I ran out of all my oil and I wanted more. 00:50:11.030 --> 00:50:14.650 So I'm excited to see him come back. He's probably one of my definitely top 00:50:14.650 --> 00:50:15.930 five oils that I've used. 00:50:16.630 --> 00:50:21.710 And then EDC, obviously he came back with a slow release, but you guys see their 00:50:21.710 --> 00:50:25.210 summer release for this year? Yeah. 00:50:25.930 --> 00:50:28.910 I haven't. It's a six pack beer. 00:50:29.190 --> 00:50:33.770 If you buy all six beard oils, it comes in a nice little six pack holder that 00:50:33.770 --> 00:50:38.870 he made 3D print or whatever. So you have Beardweiser, Bush, 00:50:39.590 --> 00:50:41.510 and you could obviously tell which two. 00:50:41.690 --> 00:50:45.150 And the labels are mock-ups of the beer. So you could tell what those two are. 00:50:45.270 --> 00:50:49.390 You have Light, which has kind of like a Miller Lite label. 00:50:49.590 --> 00:50:52.410 Then you have PBR. He went 100%. 00:50:53.390 --> 00:50:57.390 He just went PBR with that one. Ying, which obviously is Yingling. 00:50:57.550 --> 00:50:59.850 And then you have Pinomite, which is Heineken. 00:51:00.070 --> 00:51:05.150 I'm not going to go in details of what each scent is, but all six of them sound fantastic. 00:51:05.590 --> 00:51:08.250 And like I said, if you order all six, you get a nice little carrying case, 00:51:08.370 --> 00:51:09.530 3D printed carrying case. 00:51:10.450 --> 00:51:14.290 And we all enjoyed their stuff. So yeah, go support them. 00:51:14.670 --> 00:51:20.110 And then our buddy Matt with Bay Area, he said on the first January, 00:51:20.610 --> 00:51:24.870 January, Jesus, July 1st, he was going to release bar soaps. 00:51:25.130 --> 00:51:28.290 But I guess he released them early because the other day I saw a post. 00:51:28.470 --> 00:51:32.050 So he's got like six or eight different bar soap scents out there. 00:51:32.530 --> 00:51:38.230 I might have to grab some of those because I always like trying different body soaps and beard soaps. 00:51:38.870 --> 00:51:42.410 So, yeah, those scents sound fantastic. And then one that I kind of want to 00:51:42.410 --> 00:51:44.510 get back on is Johnny from Five Burrows. 00:51:44.670 --> 00:51:48.450 He decided to get rid of all of his poured butters and go straight liquid butter. 00:51:48.830 --> 00:51:51.930 And I was talking to him about that for a little bit because I've never, 00:51:52.030 --> 00:51:57.310 I had one liquid butter when he did this. And honestly, I had no idea how to use it. 00:51:58.010 --> 00:52:05.310 It's like a two-in-one oil butter. It felt weird using oil and then this liquid stuff afterwards. 00:52:06.589 --> 00:52:10.069 But talking with him, he basically said, yeah, try it. If you don't like it, let me know. 00:52:10.589 --> 00:52:15.929 So I grabbed one of them from him and used it exclusively for about a week. 00:52:16.069 --> 00:52:20.149 And honestly, I might like liquid butter a lot more than normal butter now. 00:52:20.329 --> 00:52:21.949 So yeah, he went all liquid butter. 00:52:22.269 --> 00:52:25.969 All the scents should be available now. If not, it should be soon. 00:52:26.589 --> 00:52:31.769 But yeah, I think we should reach back out to him about his thoughts and why 00:52:31.769 --> 00:52:34.769 he went straight liquid butter over poured butters. 00:52:36.169 --> 00:52:39.909 It'd be kind of a little it'd be kind of a hard experiment it'd be a cool experiment 00:52:39.909 --> 00:52:44.089 to do a difference between poured butter and liquid butter obviously it's not 00:52:44.089 --> 00:52:47.849 like a little side by side with a cigar or a drink but, 00:52:48.929 --> 00:52:53.309 maybe we talk to him see if he wants to come on and talk about why he did this 00:52:53.309 --> 00:52:56.469 and like I said I'm not mad at it I've been using his, 00:52:57.509 --> 00:53:02.969 liquid butter except for this was Elegant Sasquatch that's the other product 00:53:02.969 --> 00:53:06.789 I've been using, and I've liked it. It absorbs really quick. 00:53:07.289 --> 00:53:11.229 I'll put it on within like 20 minutes. Like, it's not coming off of your hand, 00:53:11.249 --> 00:53:14.649 so it absorbs real quick into the beard. So that's always a good thing. 00:53:15.049 --> 00:53:18.109 But yeah, that's what I got. Those are the few that I saw. 00:53:18.529 --> 00:53:22.269 Good companies that we've enjoyed over the last couple of years and some friends 00:53:22.269 --> 00:53:23.269 that we've made with the company. 00:53:23.429 --> 00:53:26.449 So I wanted to shout them out one more time. And unfortunately, 00:53:26.669 --> 00:53:29.249 like I said, Cervantes' beard is closing tomorrow. 00:53:29.769 --> 00:53:34.609 I still have a couple of his samples left. I wanted to buy more but the scent 00:53:34.609 --> 00:53:38.689 that I like was sold out when I saw this so I didn't grab another one but. 00:53:40.429 --> 00:53:43.089 What i got yeah so before we move on i just want to 00:53:43.089 --> 00:53:45.989 touch real quick on you guys talked about the uses 00:53:45.989 --> 00:53:48.669 of beard oil because that's like all of us 00:53:48.669 --> 00:53:51.589 we have so many beard oils one of my favorite companies encompass 00:53:51.589 --> 00:53:56.049 farming we've had their product on the show they make a great beard oil and 00:53:56.049 --> 00:54:00.249 they actually promote it for all the other uses most of these beard oil companies 00:54:00.249 --> 00:54:04.809 they just promote it as beard oil but i mean a compass uses many of the same 00:54:04.809 --> 00:54:10.129 ingredients as everyone else but They actually put all things you can use it for, makeup remover. 00:54:10.569 --> 00:54:16.969 Sunburns, bug and tick propellant, massage oil, lube, stretch marks, shave oil. 00:54:17.249 --> 00:54:23.489 I mean, they have a whole list of things. And I actually do use their oil because it's so cheap. 00:54:23.629 --> 00:54:28.249 And I don't want to say cheap as in quality, but so price, you know, cost effective. 00:54:28.609 --> 00:54:31.929 I think you can, for 40 bucks, you can get 16 ounces in a pump, 00:54:32.129 --> 00:54:37.109 like a hand pump. I mean, their oil is just so cheap, and it's a great product. 00:54:37.349 --> 00:54:42.029 So we use that for bug repellent because it also more survives with your skin, 00:54:42.029 --> 00:54:45.049 so you're not using some crazy chemicals and stuff. And it does a great job. 00:54:45.189 --> 00:54:48.669 Where I'm at, there's tons of ticks in the area because I live backed up to 00:54:48.669 --> 00:54:49.769 the woods, essentially. 00:54:50.149 --> 00:54:55.129 And the dogs bring in ticks on them, and we use that as a bug and tick repellent 00:54:55.129 --> 00:54:56.949 when we're out in the yard and stuff like that. 00:54:57.169 --> 00:55:01.909 So, yeah, there's many different options. that I'm surprised that these beard 00:55:01.909 --> 00:55:06.629 companies aren't promoting the different options that you can use these oils for. 00:55:06.949 --> 00:55:09.649 But they don't just have to sit in your cabinet. 00:55:10.709 --> 00:55:15.069 As people like us, we accumulate so many different ones. I got a whole tote 00:55:15.069 --> 00:55:17.629 of beard oils and samples and stuff like that. 00:55:17.769 --> 00:55:19.929 So it's good to use them for different things. 00:55:20.149 --> 00:55:23.629 Because essentially, like Gary said, push comes to shove, it's just a liquid 00:55:23.629 --> 00:55:25.309 moisturizer. That's really all of this. 00:55:27.769 --> 00:55:31.369 Especially with different scents. I think mosquitoes don't like peppermint, 00:55:31.589 --> 00:55:34.449 so you get a peppermint, now you've got a mosquito repellent. 00:55:34.589 --> 00:55:38.389 Rub it all over you and you've got a nice soft skin and the bugs stay away from you. 00:55:39.749 --> 00:55:44.849 I think the only company other than them that I've seen promote, 00:55:45.956 --> 00:55:51.456 And it's not even like the way they did is, oh, shit, Badass Beard Co. Or Badass Beard Care. 00:55:52.016 --> 00:55:56.256 They have one called, is it the Bushwhacker? 00:55:57.196 --> 00:56:01.716 I don't remember, but it basically, in the description, it says, 00:56:01.816 --> 00:56:06.196 like, helps ward off bugs while you're mowing the yard or something like that. 00:56:07.096 --> 00:56:09.876 But that's the only one they had. But, yeah, like, 00:56:10.136 --> 00:56:13.856 you find a, if you're getting eaten up by mosquitoes or certain bugs, 00:56:13.856 --> 00:56:18.896 try to find what essential oils that they don't like and you find a beard oil 00:56:18.896 --> 00:56:24.856 that has that scent or that fragrance in it or that essential oil in it and it'll help deter them. 00:56:25.856 --> 00:56:29.796 Well, with that being said, we got one more pour to get to. And I'm thirsty. 00:56:30.776 --> 00:56:36.056 So I think I have to pump this one out, right? Yeah, let's move on to this pours on me, fellas. 00:56:38.160 --> 00:56:49.680 Music. 00:56:50.616 --> 00:56:52.396 So, uh... 00:56:53.491 --> 00:56:56.691 Particular pour comes to us from ugly dog 00:56:56.691 --> 00:57:00.731 distilling by way of total 00:57:00.731 --> 00:57:08.871 wine and this is called distiller's cash rare find limited release it is a single 00:57:08.871 --> 00:57:20.511 barrel this is barrel number 15 bottle number 151 of 169 coming in at a spicy proof of 125.2, 00:57:21.891 --> 00:57:24.791 distilled in 2008 I picked this up 00:57:24.791 --> 00:57:29.071 last year I think it's I think these are generally aged for 10 years according 00:57:29.071 --> 00:57:33.991 to what it says on their site this is a bourbon mash bill but carries the label 00:57:33.991 --> 00:57:40.311 of whiskey as it goes on on the internet at least these were intended to be 00:57:40.311 --> 00:57:43.671 bourbons but ended up getting put into the barrel at too high of a proof. 00:57:44.871 --> 00:57:47.831 And so they have to label it whiskey it is more of 00:57:47.831 --> 00:57:50.611 a well it got distilled to too high 00:57:50.611 --> 00:57:54.251 of a proof and they got barreled you know whatever but 00:57:54.251 --> 00:58:00.531 uh it it basically it's a light whiskey that they had intended to make into 00:58:00.531 --> 00:58:06.271 a bourbon in the first place they set them to the side and whatever it became 00:58:06.271 --> 00:58:12.691 is what we're left with so on the nose that's it it's 00:58:13.071 --> 00:58:16.151 spicy yeah for sure but i 00:58:16.151 --> 00:58:19.051 get that oh what what's that 00:58:19.051 --> 00:58:21.911 that spaghetti sauce note that i tend to pick up every 00:58:21.911 --> 00:58:24.691 now and again the oh hell i can't think what i'm talking about savory 00:58:24.691 --> 00:58:29.571 note yeah savory there we go thank you very much i've had too much of this beer 00:58:29.571 --> 00:58:34.631 with the tequila floater to know what the fuck i'm talking about now it's it's 00:58:34.631 --> 00:58:40.651 it's got some legs but the color is very it's not nearly as dark as the duke 00:58:40.651 --> 00:58:43.551 that we had earlier it's it's more of a tea, 00:58:44.111 --> 00:58:51.791 type color but it is a that savory note is prevalent it is there for sure how 00:58:51.791 --> 00:58:56.071 are you guys feeling about the nose yeah once you get past that proof point 00:58:56.071 --> 00:59:00.511 because that proof point hits you right in the face right up front but once 00:59:00.511 --> 00:59:03.991 you get past that it's a it's a sweet nose I get, like, some caramel, 00:59:04.311 --> 00:59:07.491 some apple, some, like, lemon floral notes in there. 00:59:08.231 --> 00:59:13.531 Very nice. Well, I say light and not in the way of, like. 00:59:14.386 --> 00:59:19.946 Just the apples, the lemon, the floral. It's a nice, light, bright nose, 00:59:19.986 --> 00:59:21.746 but it is definitely punching the face. 00:59:22.446 --> 00:59:27.846 Yeah, I get that savory note right up front like you do, but there is a sweetness to it. 00:59:27.886 --> 00:59:30.786 It's almost like a cream, like a buttercream or something like that. 00:59:31.926 --> 00:59:34.626 That's something they usually pick up with light whiskeys anyways, 00:59:34.706 --> 00:59:38.586 a sweeter note in the nose and the palate for sure. 00:59:38.786 --> 00:59:44.466 So with the palate, it's that buttercream for sure. Oh, 100%. 00:59:45.266 --> 00:59:49.906 Lots of vanilla. It's weird because it spreads across your palate, 00:59:49.906 --> 00:59:54.446 but it's somewhat astringent at the same time, and that's probably due to the proof point. 00:59:54.626 --> 01:00:01.926 But this is basically like picking up a tub of buttercream icing and shoveling it into your face. 01:00:02.306 --> 01:00:05.786 So heavy on the – it's got some buttery notes. It's got the vanilla notes. 01:00:06.966 --> 01:00:10.806 That's what I get. How do you guys feel about it? Yeah. I mean, 01:00:10.946 --> 01:00:15.246 it doesn't drink as hot as it noses. No. 01:00:16.046 --> 01:00:19.866 I actually think the E.J. Curley drinks a little bit hotter, and it's a little proof. 01:00:20.506 --> 01:00:25.666 But yeah, it's a hint of the baking spices come in towards the end and some 01:00:25.666 --> 01:00:28.226 woodsy notes, but that buttercream is right up front. 01:00:28.546 --> 01:00:32.726 It's a sweet, like, dessert. I mean, really good. 01:00:33.386 --> 01:00:38.226 Yeah, that buttercream that turns to, like, honey caramel. 01:00:38.226 --> 01:00:43.746 Melt a little bit of spice there that that kicks off the tongue and towards the end that apple, 01:00:44.386 --> 01:00:47.446 it's it's like almost like a cinnamon sugar apple towards 01:00:47.446 --> 01:00:51.966 the end but yeah it all it's all concentrated like in the the middle of the 01:00:51.966 --> 01:00:56.626 tongue like you get some oiliness around the the cheeks and everything like 01:00:56.626 --> 01:01:01.066 that but all the flavor and all the the the spice is right there in the middle 01:01:01.066 --> 01:01:07.366 of the tongue for me yeah it is there's there's like you said there's basically no finish. 01:01:08.426 --> 01:01:11.066 But it is now the price you know 01:01:11.066 --> 01:01:13.946 this was a total wine selection and i 01:01:13.946 --> 01:01:17.166 paid over 100 bucks for this bottle i think 01:01:17.166 --> 01:01:20.166 it's down to like 94 95 on total one's 01:01:20.166 --> 01:01:22.966 website right now i wouldn't say that 01:01:22.966 --> 01:01:25.966 it's worth even the current price much less 01:01:25.966 --> 01:01:29.606 the the the original price it's got 01:01:29.606 --> 01:01:33.426 a pretty you know pretty nice presentation it's got two labels 01:01:33.426 --> 01:01:37.226 on the front that you know gold and cream and 01:01:37.226 --> 01:01:41.846 this is from ugly dog distilling like i said so it's got a little hound dog 01:01:41.846 --> 01:01:46.266 on the front up looks like a german short-haired pointer it's hard to make out 01:01:46.266 --> 01:01:50.926 because it's the shape of a dog and then it's gold but it looks like a german 01:01:50.926 --> 01:01:55.966 short-haired pointer from from what i can make out so the the The colors here are gold, 01:01:56.166 --> 01:01:58.306 cream, and red and black. 01:01:59.126 --> 01:02:02.306 So it's got a decent presentation. Got some nice red wax on it. 01:02:02.386 --> 01:02:04.966 I'm surprised Maker's Mark hasn't reached out to yell at him. 01:02:05.306 --> 01:02:07.066 But it's not quite the same color. 01:02:08.643 --> 01:02:12.623 It's a little darker, but I mean, it's good whiskey, 01:02:12.923 --> 01:02:18.063 you know, just not necessarily what the price should be, but just being a total 01:02:18.063 --> 01:02:22.523 wine single barrel, they can then mark it up to whatever they want because they 01:02:22.523 --> 01:02:25.383 bought the whole fucking barrel. 01:02:26.143 --> 01:02:32.903 I'm not sure about the prices on their standard offerings. I'm sure they're not quite as high. 01:02:33.123 --> 01:02:38.363 Let me pull that up real quick and we'll find out together.

It's a good cigar. 01:05:01.998 --> 01:05:05.838 It's constructed well, but it's just a good cigar. 01:05:06.118 --> 01:05:09.138 There's no kind of notes that really pop off the table and say, 01:05:09.218 --> 01:05:10.418 oh, that's nice, that kind of thing. 01:05:10.858 --> 01:05:14.458 But yeah, with this pour, it doesn't go great. 01:05:14.678 --> 01:05:17.758 I don't know if this whiskey just doesn't go great with the cigar, 01:05:17.878 --> 01:05:21.798 but yeah, I get bitterness a little bit, just like you're saying. 01:05:22.678 --> 01:05:26.178 I'm wondering if like a Connecticut would go well with it something a little 01:05:26.178 --> 01:05:31.038 bit lighter maybe a little bit sweeter than these like heavier darker cigars 01:05:31.038 --> 01:05:33.218 I wonder if they would pair well with it. 01:05:34.318 --> 01:05:40.598 But overall I mean it's a good pour something I had never heard of until Adam said yeah, 01:05:41.698 --> 01:05:45.498 I was trying to do some research on it the other day when we were saying we were going to do it, 01:05:46.458 --> 01:05:50.378 and there are so many different single barrels at different groups at different 01:05:50.378 --> 01:05:56.978 ages that Some are bourbon, some are like this one, the bourbon mash or whatever they called it. 01:05:57.138 --> 01:06:00.558 So I was actually kind of curious to see what this one actually was. 01:06:00.718 --> 01:06:03.438 And like Adam said, it is, it is light in color. 01:06:03.598 --> 01:06:09.978 So I would be in nine, 10, 11 years old, whatever it is, I would assume that it's a used barrel. 01:06:11.551 --> 01:06:15.571 At least saw a new barrel for not long because that color is not something you 01:06:15.571 --> 01:06:18.631 would see out of a new barrel for that amount of age. 01:06:19.291 --> 01:06:23.291 No, that's, that's, that's really what kind of threw me is how old it is and 01:06:23.291 --> 01:06:26.271 how light like you usually don't, you know, 01:06:26.891 --> 01:06:31.871 compare that to a, a Henry McKenna, you know, that's, that's a, 01:06:32.031 --> 01:06:37.951 that's, that's two, maybe three different shades between the two. 01:06:38.411 --> 01:06:42.271 So it was, I mean, that's a, that's a good point there. you know that you bring 01:06:42.271 --> 01:06:45.771 up it's it's crazy that there's that much difference between, 01:06:47.171 --> 01:06:50.511 you know 10-year whiskeys in terms 01:06:50.511 --> 01:06:55.451 of color so yeah i i would personally i would like to try henry mckenna that 01:06:55.451 --> 01:07:02.011 was at 125 proof so if heaven hill's listening you know go ahead and throw that 01:07:02.011 --> 01:07:05.771 our way it doesn't have to be bottled and bond i'm i'm okay with it if it's 01:07:05.771 --> 01:07:07.711 not i would like to try that very much. 01:07:08.191 --> 01:07:13.811 Or if you want to give us free reign on your rickhouse, then we can do quality 01:07:13.811 --> 01:07:16.691 control for you for free. We'll do it for free, heaven hell. 01:07:16.891 --> 01:07:19.631 We'll just go in there and taste a bunch of shit and tell you if it's good or not. 01:07:20.871 --> 01:07:26.531 Just think about it. Going back to the age and used barrels, 01:07:26.871 --> 01:07:32.311 I know a lot of people, especially verban snobs or whatever, 01:07:32.311 --> 01:07:34.751 they see this color and they're like, it ain't going to be good. 01:07:35.171 --> 01:07:40.331 But someone who has been in the rum game drive that's basically how it started 01:07:40.331 --> 01:07:42.391 with with spirits was with rum. 01:07:43.031 --> 01:07:52.591 I have name a wait is it 18 it's either a 16 or 18 year old that is probably about this color, 01:07:53.111 --> 01:07:57.191 and it is probably one of my favorite rums out there that's that's not the fiji 01:07:57.191 --> 01:08:07.011 that is not the not the fiji no this is a got it's a it's a home ski it's a guy on a i think is it the, 01:08:07.551 --> 01:08:11.311 it's either the iflot or the port moron 01:08:11.311 --> 01:08:15.011 one of them is fucking black 01:08:15.011 --> 01:08:18.111 coffee look and the other one is this color they're both fantastic 01:08:18.111 --> 01:08:20.971 and they're right about that 14 to 18 01:08:20.971 --> 01:08:23.711 years i can't remember off the top of my head but yeah 01:08:23.711 --> 01:08:26.531 it's a double digit that looks like this 01:08:26.531 --> 01:08:30.991 and it is fantastic you get a bunch of those tropical 01:08:30.991 --> 01:08:33.891 fruits grilled tropical fruits and 01:08:33.891 --> 01:08:39.751 all that good funkiness from rums it's it's fantastic so as much as i like to 01:08:39.751 --> 01:08:44.591 see kind of like the ej curly or the duke that has a nice darker color a red 01:08:44.591 --> 01:08:49.331 hue to it or something like that But this lighter stuff doesn't deter me when 01:08:49.331 --> 01:08:51.911 I know it's 10 plus years old. 01:08:52.211 --> 01:08:55.791 I'm a big fan of light whiskey anyway. I fucking love it. That too. 01:08:56.111 --> 01:08:59.031 There's some, I've got, I've got a couple of light whiskeys up there that were 01:08:59.031 --> 01:09:04.151 picks from the store that shall, the store that shall not be named. 01:09:05.871 --> 01:09:10.631 We'll call it Voldemort. But it was from a distillery out West. 01:09:12.361 --> 01:09:16.461 The reason I'm being vague is because I can't remember what the name of the 01:09:16.461 --> 01:09:18.441 distillery was. Oh, Bull Run. It was Bull Run. 01:09:19.581 --> 01:09:23.401 So let me explain. The reason why I'm having such a hard time remembering is 01:09:23.401 --> 01:09:26.781 because I hide those bottles from myself. Once they're gone, they're fucking gone. 01:09:27.081 --> 01:09:36.721 They were goddamn cool. So there was a Pinot Noir finished, and there was a Cabernet Sauvignon. 01:09:37.641 --> 01:09:39.961 The only reason why I know is because we have a sample of it. 01:09:40.021 --> 01:09:41.561 I just looked at our spreadsheet. 01:09:42.621 --> 01:09:46.881 We did the Pinot Noir one last year or the year before. 01:09:47.121 --> 01:09:49.521 Yeah, it's been a while. It's been a while. We need to get to that Cab Sav. 01:09:50.061 --> 01:09:51.681 They're both fucking fantastic. I love that Cab Sav. 01:09:52.461 --> 01:09:55.841 I tried both of them when I was up there when I did the Maker's Pick. 01:09:55.921 --> 01:10:00.301 What was that, last year or the year before? Yeah, yeah. They're both fantastic. Yeah. 01:10:00.821 --> 01:10:04.201 And then I've got some Obtanium that I got when I was down in Louisville. 01:10:04.521 --> 01:10:05.741 I'm sorry, in Nashville. 01:10:06.101 --> 01:10:09.861 And they're both fucking great. You know, that was from a cool Springs wine 01:10:09.861 --> 01:10:12.721 and spirits that was of course recommended to us. 01:10:13.221 --> 01:10:15.601 The blue collar guys. I'm a big fan. 01:10:16.381 --> 01:10:19.401 I'm sorry. Go ahead. Do you remember, do you remember if that's one of their 01:10:19.401 --> 01:10:22.381 like six or eight years or they're like 15 year ones? 01:10:22.981 --> 01:10:26.141 I'd have to look, I'll look and send pictures here in just a little bit when 01:10:26.141 --> 01:10:27.461 we get done. I can't remember. 01:10:27.821 --> 01:10:33.141 I know they did. They did a run. I think there's six years or eight years, one of the two. 01:10:33.761 --> 01:10:37.541 And then they also have a run at, well, this was a couple of years ago. 01:10:37.561 --> 01:10:40.461 They did a run of like 13 to 15 year and I have a 13 01:10:40.461 --> 01:10:44.961 year that is like 0.02 points 01:10:44.961 --> 01:10:51.001 away from being hazmat I think it's like one 139.9 so 01:10:51.001 --> 01:10:54.241 one of the ones that I have 0.98 yeah one 01:10:54.241 --> 01:10:57.561 of the ones that I have is hazmat so I say 01:10:57.561 --> 01:11:00.581 all that just to encourage people to try out some light 01:11:00.581 --> 01:11:03.321 whiskey if you find it don't shy away from it just because it 01:11:03.321 --> 01:11:06.521 says light whiskey doesn't mean it's shit in fact 01:11:06.521 --> 01:11:09.641 it is not light what's a lot shit that right 01:11:09.641 --> 01:11:14.421 you know it's it's sweeter almost every 01:11:14.421 --> 01:11:18.841 time you know and it's it's just it's it's really it's a different experience 01:11:18.841 --> 01:11:23.621 altogether but it's really good it's really really good so don't don't shy away 01:11:23.621 --> 01:11:29.401 from that but especially the finished light whiskeys they tend to really really 01:11:29.401 --> 01:11:33.721 take on the characteristics of the finish the the finishing. 01:11:35.141 --> 01:11:38.641 Process really good stuff and this is you know 01:11:38.641 --> 01:11:41.581 not any different it's a good light whiskey it's 01:11:41.581 --> 01:11:45.281 just priced way too high that's just all there is to it you know 01:11:45.281 --> 01:11:51.001 i don't regret spending them i've never i've never spent a reasonable amount 01:11:51.001 --> 01:11:56.501 of money on a bottle and regretted having done so even when it was above what 01:11:56.501 --> 01:11:59.941 i felt like it should you know what i mean like i still get the experience I 01:11:59.941 --> 01:12:02.181 still get the whiskey. I have the time to take. 01:12:02.361 --> 01:12:04.701 I've got so many bottles of whiskey in this house. It's ridiculous. 01:12:05.641 --> 01:12:07.681 Like, when I die, my wife is going to have... 01:12:09.454 --> 01:12:14.934 Endeavor on her hands to sell all of this whiskey. It's just so goddamn much of it. 01:12:15.094 --> 01:12:20.294 And rum and, you know, you know, Jerry said that he started his spirits journey 01:12:20.294 --> 01:12:21.994 or whatever in the rum world. 01:12:22.114 --> 01:12:26.014 I did too. The first thing I ever got drunk on was Bacardi silver. 01:12:26.374 --> 01:12:31.174 Now it wasn't good rum. It wasn't, but I did it. I did it. 01:12:31.494 --> 01:12:36.034 And then, and then after I drank, I drank a pint bottle of that shit by myself 01:12:36.034 --> 01:12:38.994 with these two guys that I worked with. They were cool as fuck. 01:12:40.194 --> 01:12:43.014 I wish I knew how to get in touch with those guys. They were awesome. 01:12:43.414 --> 01:12:47.474 When I was 17, about to turn 18, one of them bought the bottle for me. 01:12:47.814 --> 01:12:50.954 They were 21 and 22, something like that. 01:12:51.074 --> 01:12:54.614 I worked with them at Winn-Dixie, which is not a store we have here in Kentucky 01:12:54.614 --> 01:12:56.194 anymore. I still have in Florida. 01:12:57.154 --> 01:13:00.594 My uncle, who was an executive with Winn-Dixie at that time, helped me get that job. 01:13:00.714 --> 01:13:04.194 And then I pissed all over his shoes by just quitting in the middle of the day. 01:13:04.314 --> 01:13:09.234 It was just a shitty thing for me to do. But anyway, I was hanging out with these guys. 01:13:10.774 --> 01:13:15.954 And we rented American Pie and the Blair Witch Project and of course the first 01:13:15.954 --> 01:13:19.854 fucking one we watched after I get really fucking drunk drinking that entire 01:13:19.854 --> 01:13:23.254 paint bottle of Bacardi Silver by myself, 01:13:23.774 --> 01:13:27.494 was the Blair Witch Project and I had the spins, 01:13:28.254 --> 01:13:33.694 luckily for me I figured out how to cancel out the spins by I was laying on 01:13:33.694 --> 01:13:36.974 the couch and I dragged one foot off the couch and I put it flat on the floor 01:13:36.974 --> 01:13:39.154 and figured it out first time I ever got drunk 01:13:39.454 --> 01:13:44.054 I have still never seen the Blair Witch Project sober to this day and actually 01:13:44.054 --> 01:13:48.374 met the guy that made the Blair Witch Project last last October. 01:13:48.674 --> 01:13:54.734 We had a scare fest here in Lexington and then they had their after party at 01:13:54.734 --> 01:13:58.254 a music venue here in Lexington called Manchester Music Hall. 01:13:58.374 --> 01:14:03.034 And I'm on the security team there and he showed up and was just being a fucking prick. 01:14:03.414 --> 01:14:06.274 Just a he's just a cunt. 01:14:06.494 --> 01:14:10.154 Fuck him and everybody that looks like it. Like he showed up and he was like, 01:14:10.214 --> 01:14:12.474 I need to go in that door right there. And I was like, no, sir, 01:14:12.634 --> 01:14:13.714 you don't. Can I see your. 01:14:14.910 --> 01:14:19.250 Your lanyard and it, and it said talent on it. And I was like, 01:14:19.310 --> 01:14:22.190 well, you have to go in the bag. Well, I got to go in the fucking back door. 01:14:22.310 --> 01:14:26.610 And I made the Blair witch project. I said, I don't give a fuck what you made. 01:14:27.010 --> 01:14:30.430 I don't care if you wrote the Bible, motherfucker. These are the rules. 01:14:30.890 --> 01:14:33.590 Somebody's going to come up here and take you. Well, just let me go in. 01:14:33.830 --> 01:14:38.430 No, I'm not letting you go in that door. You can go around the back like everybody else. 01:14:38.850 --> 01:14:42.090 I almost punched the guy that made Blair witch project again. 01:14:42.310 --> 01:14:47.370 Fuck him. And everybody that looks like him, But that movie damn near sent me 01:14:47.370 --> 01:14:51.190 to the hospital because I was not because I was scared, not because I couldn't 01:14:51.190 --> 01:14:56.090 handle the gore, but because I was real drunk and that shit is shaky as a motherfucker. 01:14:57.510 --> 01:14:58.950 And it was a bad night. 01:15:00.410 --> 01:15:04.770 I saw drunk in the movie theaters. So you can imagine. 01:15:06.090 --> 01:15:09.370 God. Yeah, because that was that was a film in Maryland. 01:15:09.610 --> 01:15:13.590 And so that was kind of like a big thing back. I think I was like right out of high school. 01:15:13.790 --> 01:15:18.350 I think it came out like. 98 or 99 and we went and saw it got drunk first and 01:15:18.350 --> 01:15:24.910 went and saw it and uh yeah you talk about like shaky can that was almost unacceptable 01:15:24.910 --> 01:15:29.450 how she can that yeah it was bad it was so bad, 01:15:30.230 --> 01:15:35.830 i was i know i was driving so i was at least 16 so it would have been at least 1999, 01:15:36.510 --> 01:15:42.370 when that came out so i would have been a sophomore or no i would have been 01:15:42.370 --> 01:15:45.790 a junior I turned 16 in May, 01:15:47.050 --> 01:15:52.090 and so it would have been my junior year in 99 because I graduated in 2001, right? 01:15:52.330 --> 01:15:56.090 So I started my senior year in 2000, graduated in 2001. 01:15:57.110 --> 01:16:03.490 So the latter half of 1999 is when I saw it, but I saw it on tape. 01:16:03.490 --> 01:16:08.670 We rented that shit. So it probably came out in the earlier part of 99. 01:16:10.090 --> 01:16:13.730 Did you make sure you rewound it? Yeah, no, no, fuck that. 01:16:14.910 --> 01:16:18.430 Be kind rewind yeah who would 01:16:18.430 --> 01:16:21.610 know who would guess right that 01:16:21.610 --> 01:16:25.470 i spent 20 fucking years of my life rewinding 01:16:25.470 --> 01:16:28.770 tapes and then in my 20s all 01:16:28.770 --> 01:16:31.950 of a sudden tapes aren't a thing anymore right and then 01:16:31.950 --> 01:16:35.130 we're going to i was having an argument with 01:16:35.130 --> 01:16:38.850 my brother one day about whether or not blu-ray or 01:16:38.850 --> 01:16:41.790 hd dvds were gonna be the thing and he said no 01:16:41.790 --> 01:16:44.790 hg dvds and i said nope gonna be blu-ray 01:16:44.790 --> 01:16:48.670 watch and see and sure enough we still have blu-ray discs that people rarely 01:16:48.670 --> 01:16:52.650 use now because now we have all these streaming services but i was right and 01:16:52.650 --> 01:16:57.410 he was wrong so to my brother scott i love you but i was right you were wrong 01:16:57.410 --> 01:17:01.810 anyway fuck the blair witch project fuck the guy that made it fuck fuck his. 01:17:02.964 --> 01:17:11.864 Like still that rum experience was a it was it was a bad night so yeah you know life goes on, 01:17:12.804 --> 01:17:18.064 don't sleep on light whiskey somehow i went from light whiskey to rum experience 01:17:18.064 --> 01:17:22.964 and all those movies and shit don't sleep on light whiskey good stuff not a 01:17:22.964 --> 01:17:27.924 bad not a bad whiskey in this bottle i wish that it was priced a little bit 01:17:27.924 --> 01:17:30.384 better but uh it's it's pretty good stuff so. 01:17:31.444 --> 01:17:36.264 With that said, I think that brings us to the end of this episode of Bourbon Beards and Belvederes. 01:17:36.764 --> 01:17:40.024 Don't forget to check out all of these products, right? 01:17:40.224 --> 01:17:47.224 We've got Duke, Duke Whiskey at dukespirits.com.
