If I could tell my younger self, when I started my whiskey journey, I would say “don’t obsess over the high demand bottles.” Try the bottom shelf stuff. If you find one you like, there’s a good chance you’ll like the rest of the whiskeys they have to offer. To appreciate a 10, you need to plow a 3.

6 "A man's gotta know his limitations." I had the opportunity this morning to procure a bottle of Little Book Chapter 4. No line, no waiting. Problem is that at $124 I knew my palate wasn't up to the task and it would be wasted on me. So decided to be happy with another bottle of Knob Creek 12 year, and save $60. Maybe one day, but this is not that day. 7. Make a budget and stay within that budget. You have bills to pay. Do not let your hobby become obsessive.

You’ll find old dusty bottles of great stuff, you just have to put in the effort. 4. Sharing your whiskey with others is WAY better then hoarding it. 5. The best whiskey is the one you didn’t see coming. Blind tasting is the absolute best way to find WHAT YOU LIKE!

Rather than shopping early, I've sometimes had luck shopping at a store late at night, about an hour or two before closing. Especially if it's raining and there aren't a lot of other customers, the employees might restock shelves since it's slow. Doesn't work with the really in-demand stuff, but I've gotten some Eagle Rare and recently a Basil Hayden Toasted by shopping when reasonable people are at home preparing to go to bed.

Jason: Totally agree!! I determine a price range and then explore across types and regions. I go with my gut almost always and I usually enjoy what I buy, with a few exceptions If I hear of something that interests me, I will buy bottle or a glass depending on price; do a tasting and notes for myself; then check guys like you and compare notes. It is a lot of Fun. I share notes to engender discussion. A question, I have is: Why do we whiskey fans, develop a habit of buying bottle after bottle building a collection of open bottles; instead of buying a bottle and finishing it before buying another? I can understand the desire to explore in the beginning, but it seems to be an on-going thing. SLÁINTE Mike

1: Find a handful of Bourbon Enthusiasts who have access to media samples and early releases whose palate aligns with yours. Like Jason, Fred Minnick, Rarebird101, Bourbon Pursuit, Breaking Bourbon. Listen to their takes on the whiskey, listen to the tasting notes they call out. You'll start to figure out which ones to pass on and which ones to track down. Avoid playing whiskey roulette. 2: Establish a ceiling for yourself. There are whiskeys you are able to get today, and they may become completely out of reach in a few years. When that whiskey goes above your ceiling, tap out. There will always be another amazing whiskey coming that doesn't break the bank. 3: Great advice from Fred Minnick. Make sure to taste a whiskey at least 3 times on separate days before making your assessment. Give your whiskey time to get some exposure to air, as it will change dramatically over time (usually for the better). I'm a big believer in getting past the neck pour before assessing whether I like or dislike something. I find that some of the higher proof whiskeys change the most with some air exposure.

Redbreast and Green Spot became my favorites then I started on scotch with Monkey Shoulder and Ardbeg. All of these are amazing in their own respective categories and KZitem with some other "tribal" channels has helped me discover new whiskey. I look forward to learning more from this channel.

Ask for a discount, especially if buying multiple bottles. Independent owned shops can cut deals. Gimme $10 off that henry mckenna and I'll buy 2. #3. Do you homework (google shit) before you buy. What looks great might be garbage. #4. If you see a good deal, dont make a big deal about it. Jus get your swill and go. I thanked an owner for selling mckenna for $59.99 when other stores are $80. Next week i go in $79.99. #5. I wish iknew about mash and drum before i got into whiskey. I would have a much better collection by now.

Great Video Jason. I started down the Scotch rabbit hole then tried Irish whiskey. Then Japanese whiskey blew my doors off. I finally circled back to bourbon and American whiskey. Totally agree with the Belle Meade, Knob Creek, Wild Turkey Rare breed, and Jack Barrel proof. The more I try the more I become a global consumer of whiskey. I still do learn towards RedBreast 21 (my weakness).

I almost bought a Calumet Farms 15yr for $150 before trying it... Same day went to a bar and they had it. I wouldnt spend $50 for it now 🤣 glad i didnt get that one. It wasnt bad at all, just not that good

#3 hits hard when you're in Europe. Can't find many things here, even those normally available in the states. And what's available has a markup because of import taxes. But I can't complain. Thanks to EU laws we can buy online, so getting that bottle from amazon is possible.

I wish someone would've told me not to go all out on buying bottles in rapid succession. It's now super difficult to pick out what I want to pour with all these delicious options available.

I pretty much knew everything I needed to know when I started my journey. I knew there will be a lot of stuff to discover and so far my list contains 170 bottles with prices and store where to get them. I knew that easy accessible stuff in Japan or US will be next to impossible to find here in Scandinavia, so I got my peace with it. I knew exactly which stores to hit for the best price and availability. Knew it's gonna be tough to bring anything from overseas. And that's about it. The rest is the part of a journey.
