You are absolutely correct about finished whiskey opening doors. When you have a hankering for a certain flavor, finished can fit the bill often. Sagamore is my favorite go too.

Love these comparison reviews of your favorites Ty!! On those blending new expressions or doing picks for people to try, Today I stumbled upon a new to me place in Louisiana. I discovered Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Private store pick by this friendly small place, Tony's Beverage. They had BP open and gave a sample which ended up being one of the best in store tastings at 126.3 proof I quickly took home! This $85 ECBP was smooth and sweet as ever with dark fruits like cherry and plums, vanilla brown sugar, caramel, chocolate, hits of oak and char with pleasant burnt molasses. Then as you swallow, it sings of char, black pepper spice and light smoke comes on board. But the defined chocolate, caramel, molasses and fruit sweetness lingers to the end and nearly envelops all spice while tingling ever so nice on the lips. It covers it's tracks in a controlled proof flavor bubble of sorts, with a long finish but only slight burn in the throat. I couldn't believe it for such high 63.15% abv that finishes like spicy cinnamon sugar on your lips, delivered by the bubble transport to fly past the tongue only carpet-bombing hints of everything from the beginning, all blended together in spirit heaven. A buttery sweet cream finish too, as if to bring you to the edge of your seat taste buds while spraying out graffiti spice paint that blows right by you keeping your mouth cool yet ever so rightly balanced. It was just damn good!

If you pare bourbon with fatty bold flavors with either beef pork or fish you can’t go wrong. Finished whiskey would certainly go well with lighter fish and chicken dishes. As a retired chef I pared many foods with different alcohol from light wine to hard core tequila. Just remember the stronger the flavors the higher proof and flavors you want. And bourbon always makes a great sauce.

I was a little surprised no Angels Envy made the list, although it was a pretty short one. Their finishes are on the stronger flavor profiles in my opinion, but still delicious.

Thanks for watching! I actually don’t own a bottle of their rye currently, which could have made the list. Their bourbon doesn’t really stand out to me compared to the other whiskeys on my list. What are some other finishes that you enjoy? 🥃

I bought the Chattanooga Wine Port because of this video and this post. It’s a great bottle with a great nose and palette. Thanks for the recommendation and a back up has been secured as well.

Great discussion, however, its not being a purest to want to protect Bourbon, to protect Tennessee Whiskey (LCP) and other unique process and flavors that are American and regionally specific. Bourbon is quickly becoming a bastardized word to mean just whiskey. Folks skip the fact that Bourbon is a specific process with specific ingredients, if not then we would get things such a Thad Perignon. Makers 46 is a great example of a premium whiskey, they started with Bourbon, finished it, and now have a premium flavored whiskey (Class 641) but its not Bourbon. This fact confuses a LOT of consumers. Thinking we need a new term/word/COLA Class for premium whiskey products. If its finished its not bourbon, but also not the lower end 'chemistry' flavored whiskeys in the 641 class either.

Appreciate you tuning in. I get that and definitely understand that argument. However, I would say most people that aren’t as knowledgeable ask me pretty often, what’s the difference between a bourbon and a whiskey. So there’s still not mass clarity on what bourbon even is in my opinion. Finishing doesn’t necessarily help that. However, a label such as Maker’s 46, having Bourbon Finished with French Oak Staves, to me is walking us through the process and helping the consumer better identify where I started and where I ended up. Just my opinion that no one asked for though! 😂 Cheers 🥃

@@tythebourbonguy So, do we then have a responsibility to educate, to lay out the difference between Bourbon and whiskey, between say premium LCP whiskey and chemistry lab flavored junk? To intentionally make the distinction clear every time? Keep up the good work

I’m definitely interested in the education piece. I, like many others, try my hardest to inform and educate but still get asked that so frequently. Definitely some great thoughts you have! Cheers my friend! 🥃
