Hey guys and welcome to Bourbon Bites Whiskey Reviews with a gaming twist
0:12
I am Clifton and I am here for a follow-up on last year's 5 Whiskies video trend
0:18
If you missed my video last year, I'll put a link to it up there as well as the end of this video. So definitely check that out
0:23
But our friend Matt from ADHD Whiskey just challenged us to a new 2021 version of this challenge
0:32
And I appreciate him tagging me. It did make me feel a little warm and fuzzy inside, but not as warm and fuzzy as this whiskey is going to make me feel
0:38
Boom, ! Let's get to it. So this first whiskey in this challenge is the Entry Buzz Whiskey
0:43
This whiskey is the one you drink to get your night started. I gotta say, when I'm trying to get my night going, I don't start straight out with a whiskey
0:50
I love a good cocktail. So my recommendation is this High West Manhattan barrel-aged cocktail
0:56
So they took some rye whiskey, some bourbon whiskey, some bitters, and some vermouth, finished it in a barrel, and then bottled it for our enjoyment
1:03
Now I do plan to do a full review of this and their barreled old-fashioned, but I really can't think of a better way to start the night than pouring a cocktail
1:10
you know, getting to know someone, especially if they may be new to whiskey. A cocktail is always the way to go, and having it in a bottle makes it that much more convenient
1:17
Now if you don have one of these I still recommend making something simple like a Manhattan or fashioned a very spirit forward whiskey cocktail But I think something like that will really open people up especially if they aren quite your typical whiskey drinker
1:31
I like to ease my way into the higher proof. So I think starting with a cocktail is the way to go
1:36
Now, number two on Matt's list is a current favorite. This is something that you are really
1:40
enjoying in the moment. May not be a favorite overall, but it's something that you've been really drinking a lot of lately. And I got to say, I've been drinking a heck of a lot of Wilderness
1:47
trail rye now this comes in at 110 proof so it's barrel proof but I'm really really enjoying what
1:53
I'm getting out of this bottle it's very rye forward but it drinks a lot more like a cast
1:58
print bourbon there's that viscosity the really really complex flavors and I will say I have had
2:02
a barrel pick of this this is just the regular one but my friend had a barrel pick and oh my god
2:06
it blew my mind so if you happen to see one of those definitely pick it up but even the regular
2:11
off-the-shelf stuff it's just a really enjoyable pour now number three is a little known bottle
2:15
but you pull it out to look cool. Gotta have a little bit of a hipster whiskey on deck for your
2:20
whiskey-loving friends. They're like, oh, you've got the Blantons, you've got the Eagle Rare. Well
2:24
maybe, but do you have Woodinville? While Woodinville is a little popular among the
2:28
whiskey tube community, I think that the average, you know, whiskey drinker may not be aware of this
2:33
whiskey. I happen to have the Applewood Stave 100 Proof Edition thanks to my patron and supporter
2:38
Patrick Starkey who sent me this bottle But really everything I had from them has been really really good And I think it really cool to have a West Coast whiskey especially being based in southern California having something from the same coast as you especially for a lot of people that you know we know bourbon drinkers may drink a lot of
2:53
this but people that are into whiskey in general may not have tried Woodinville so I always think
2:57
this is a great bottle to pull out and impress those guests that want something a little different
3:02
Now number four is the whiskey you pull out just to rub in your friend's face a little bit
3:06
Yes I'm talking about that whiskey that was maybe limited edition or it's a vintage release you can't
3:10
get anymore. But for me, my number four whiskey has to go to this lovely Single Cast Nation
3:17
Pre-Fire Heaven Hill. This 24-year-old bourbon was distilled in 1994, spent half of its life in
3:24
Kentucky and the other half in Scotland, was bottled, sent back to the U.S. at Cast Strength
3:29
and holy crap, this is honestly one of the most delicious things I've ever tried. A lot of you
3:35
guys may know Single Cast Nation based on their Scotch releases, but every once in a while, they
3:39
put out a bourbon and it is just mind-blowing. I did a full review of this on YouTube so if you
3:45
missed that I'm gonna put it up here but trust me you want to see it and hear my thoughts on this
3:49
one. Now before we get to the final whiskey on this list I do want to give a quick shout out to
3:53

Thursdays and Saturdays, but I also do videos like this every now and then. So if you're liking what
4:28
you see, I would love if you could stick around. And finally, whiskey number five is a great
4:34
long pour bottle. This is the bottle you can pour from and you will not spill a drop. So I think for
4:40
a perfect long pour, you gotta have a tall bottle with a long neck. Yes, I am pointing to you
4:47
Eagle Rare. Seriously, look how long this neck is. Now, I would normally recommend the Girthy
4:52
1.75 liter bottle of this, but you know, you work with what you got. So before I end this video with
4:58
a long pour, I do want to ask, what are your five picks for these whiskeys? Even if you've already
