My man! Thx for the shout out - outstanding video! Personally, I love 4🌹, but you're certainly not the only one who feels that way about them. Never be afraid to offer your opinions especially when you've got your reasons and explanations. Lot of great content and info here - cheers 🥃

Agree on all those. Have had some good 4 🌹, but they were 15-16 yr, rare and many hundreds of dollars.

I pretty much agree with all of this. The last 4 Roses single barrel had a lower rye % and it's the best thing from 4 Roses I have ever had. It may be my last bottle from them though.

Is it the new mashbill? Or was it just the E mashbill

@@GentlemenandWhiskey OESQ. Here's what they say: With less rye than OBSQ, OESQ gives a slightly sweeter impression. The extra corn in Mashbill E complements the floral notes in the Q yeast strain and creates candied flavors that meld with the caramel and vanilla tones from the barrel as the Bourbon ages

Pretty much agree, especially concerning 'value'. I do have an Angel's Envy Port Finish that I paid $40 from Sam's, so not too expensive. I also have a Four Roses Single Barrel Reserve for $45. Don't have any of the others and don't plan to either.

Yeah if you can get it for 40 that’s a pretty competitive price, but 55 is too much.

From my experience I tend to agree. While I’ve not had EVERY bottle from the mentioned distilleries, with the exception of 4🌹, much of what I’ve had I wasn’t a fan of. Penelope hasn’t impressed me with the 4 or so bottles I’ve tried. I was especially disappointed in the Rio, given all the hype. It tastes artificial with an aspartame aftertaste that I just didn’t like. Whistlepig is DEFINITELY over priced as is Angels Envy. I’ve had 3-4 offerings and was either not impressed or down right disappointed. Good Times is something I’ve not seen in my market, but I am a HUGE fan of transparency and truth in advertising. Being from Texas, we get a lot of companies that throw some Texas reference on a bottle in hopes that tourists will buy it. It rubs me the wrong way as most that do that have a pretty bad product that reflects poorly on our burgeoning whiskey industry. Great video and I appreciate the info.

Penelope - Never bought bcuz it just looks gimmicky and wine-like on the shelves. Whistle Pig - Had a pour of the 6 year rye..(did not like it) Four Roses - The color of the bourbon looks like it supposed to be a fruit bomb but it never is... That's what makes it disappointing. I have an OESO store pick that I just picked up hoping that it will be the fruit bomb that I desire. Angels Envy- is too expensive... However, I got a Single Barrel sherry cask finished 116 proof in a bundle deal.. Which will be my 1st try of Angels Envy

I like your list, I never had good times though. I would definitely has willet and high west as my 1 and 2 most hated. Four roses I do like but stores picks for 110 and aged 8 years, that sucks, I will gladly buy ec bp any day for less money and higher age. You hit nail on the head with Penelope, the youth notes drive me nuts, I think they could improve in the future now that mgp bought them. My 1 is willet, 2 is high west 3. Yellowstone 4. Whistlepig 5. Lux row.

I think Penelope CAN improve now that MGP owns them, but I’m not sure I see the advantage for them to do so. Penelope is selling their young stuff that isn’t gonna make it to being well aged.

I am so triggered. Just kidding. The only four roses I would buy are the single barrel barrel select ones. The rest are so readily available. I like them, but there’s other bourbons to try.
