Buffalo Trace and Eagle Rare start out with the same Corn-Rye-Barley mash bill beer....aging and location of aging is different...Weller is a Wheated bourbon no rye in mash. Weller is not as spicy...so bourbon newbies will gravitate to it. Sour Mash for both...so Scotch has always tasted sweeter to me.

So funny to watch you guys! Lol. 1. Bourbon doesn’t have to be made in Kentucky! Just the USA 2. Jack Daniels meets the requirements for bourbon, they just call themselves Tennessee whiskey 3. All three of those bottles are produced at the same distillery, Buffalo Trace distillery 4. Eagle rare would be single barrel, they just don’t clean out the pipes between barrels, so each Eagle rare bottle can slightly vary. 5. The Weller IS different from the the other two, the mashbill is corn/wheat/malted barley as opposed to corn/rye/malted barley. Great video and always nice to see new people try bourbon, a product that I am so passionate about. Cheers guys!

Awesome video! All three bourbons are under the same parent distillery, Buffalo Trace. Also the warmth you feel when drinking bourbon is called the “Kentucky Hug.” Cheers fellas!

Weller is also made at Buffalo Trace.

Its pretty funny that you can easily purchase those 3 bottles in the UK. I live in the US (Pennsylvania) and if I'm lucky I can find Buffalo Trace once every two weeks if I looked hard enough at our local state run liquor stores. It sells so fast they don't even put it on the shelves, they keep it behind the counter and you have to ask for it. Eagle Rare I can find maybe once every two months, it's much harder to find. And I will never be able to purchase anything Weller ever in Pennsylvania, it is very allocated. But you picked 3 really good bourbons to try for the first time. You guys are correct, bourbon is much sweeter then scotch. Bourbon by law has to be at least 51% corn (mash bill) and the corn makes the whiskey taste sweeter. Bourbon also has to be aged in a new (unused) charred American oak barrel, that also imparts sweetness and bourbons typical mahogany like color. Cheers Gentleman

Ex-wifes, parents away..17yr old drank a bottle of Johnny Walker red label...bad for 2 days never touched whiskey since and I'm 50 In a few weeks time.

Good choices, I usually have all 3 in my liquor cabinet at all times. Eagle Rare is probably my favorite of those 3 and my go to everyday bourbon.

Fun fact Weller is made out of another FAMOUS Bourbon Pappy Van Winkle. The story is that the recipe that makes Weller 12 year didn't quite make the cut for Pappy Van Winkle Lot B 12 year. That's why many say it as close to Pappy as you can get for a whole lot less. Also why Weller is just as hard to find as Pappy because stores can't keep them on their shelves long enough.

@Cdubp01

3 жыл бұрын

That’s just hype. The ONLY similarity is that they use the same mash bill. But pappy is overrated anyhow-the real pappy juice ran out years ago. Weller SR is a good $20 bottle-but that’s as far as it should go. Antique 107 is a step up, but paying more than $40 is just ridiculous. Sooo many better bourbons for the price of what Weller goes for these days. Now that Eagle rare on the other hand-that’s a proper good drink for $30 a bottle.

Here goes... Nut-shelled: Bourbon is whisky that is made with water containing high levels of limestone. That's what the main difference between whisky and bourbon is. Kentucky is one of the few places with a limestone content high enough in the water to produce bourbon. I think Scotland may be another place that meets that criteria as well. I prefer bourbon over whisky but both are good.

@mattdollus

3 жыл бұрын

The is no limestone in the water. The limestone merely filters impurities from the water. All bourbon is whiskey. Not all whiskey is bourbon. Bourbon must be at least 51% corn, produced in the U.S., aged on new charred oak barrels, distilled at no more that 160 proof, enter the barrel at no more than 125 proof , and bottled at no less than 80 proof. The primary difference between bourbon and other whiskey is the corn.

A lot of people overlook bourbon in favor of scotch, and, they're REALLY missing out. A good bourbon is absolutely heavenly.

All neck pours. If you wait a month and do this again, I'd be curious to see if you think they've changed at all for you. You can never go wrong with Buffalo Trace. You never know what you're going to get with Eagle Rare. My fav everyday sipper is Russel's Reserve Single Barrel; if you try it you won't be disappointed and it's not crazy expensive. If you want smooth caramel brown sugar and fruit - so smooth it's like drinking cream... Bardstown's Discovery Series.

Woodford County Kentucky native here. A small tip that helped me alot when sniffing for flavor notes was to slightly open and breathe through your mouth as well as your nose when inhaling the aromas. Great to see people trying and enjoying bourbon around the world.

I live about 35 miles (56 km) from Buffalo Trace, and I have taken the tour of the distillery several times. I am not originally from Kentucky, but I consider bourbon to be the finest whiskey in the world. My reason for saying so is that you can buy bourbons that range from 80 proof to 140 proof or higher. The grains used are corn (51% min), rye and malted barley OR the rye (in a very few cases) is replaced with wheat. Weller has wheat in place of rye. No other ingredients are permitted. There are other restrictions, but I will allow you to search this up yourselves. Personally, I prefer the bourbons with a high rye content, so here are my suggestions for you: Knob Creek (the only Jim Beam product that I like), Four Roses Single Barrel, Bulleit, Wild Turkey Rare Breed (barrel proof), Russell's Reserve (single barrel), Fighting Cock, and, last but not least, Evan Williams Bottled in Bond (100 proof).

You picked a bunch of winner! Buffalo Trace and 1782 are favs. The Jim Beam line are all perfectly good, affordable bourbons. I've even been to Bardstown KY to visit the Buffalo Trace distillery. It was a happy day.

Great video gents. You picked 3 excellent intro Bourbon whiskey's. The Weller is my favorite of the 3 but Buffalo Trace is more available in my area.

Woodford double oaked, and Michters are my favs. Add just a couple drops of water to each glass to bring out the flavor.

Excellent choices. All three are "buy on sight" in our house.

As Pedantic79 has said all three of those bourbons are from the same distillery, Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort Kentucky. Buffalo Trace and Eagle Rare (10yr) are from the same Mash but are at different age and the aging varies as does the level in the aging warehouses. To make the best bourbons you must carefully control the temperatures and timing and season exposure. The Weller is of a different mash as you guys noted being more wheated. But also of different age and aging process. If you liked the Weller you should try the 12 year. If you liked the Eagle Rare 10 yr. you should try the 17yr. The Buffalo Trace bourbon is 6 to 8yr. and is the distilleries base bourbon. I grew up near there in Lexington, Ky and am very familiar with many of the Kentucky distilleries. If you guys come to the States you should definitely do the bourbon trail as Stephen Proffitt says. I like the 10yr Eagle Rare myself. Although any of their bourbons except for Buffalo Trace are often hard to come by. The best I've had is George T. Stagg but I've never had the opportunity or deep enough pockets to try a Van Winkle. Do a music react to Home Free doing Man of Constant Sorrow.

Funny. As I watch you blokes sip on bourbon, which I do like, I am currently sipping on Scotch. We can all enjoy the drinks that are offered on the other side of the Atlantic.

Wisconsin also has the most pubs/bars per capita of any American state. There's literally one on every corner in some down town areas. Incidentally they also have the highest alcoholism rate. Who would'a thunk?!

For blokes who don't drink whiskey, those are legit pours. Bravo, you! All three are delicious and rarely found in my local ma and pa. Weller is different in that wheat is its second grain. You might want to branch out to Old Forester 1920, Wild Turkey 101 or Rare Breed, or Four Roses Small Batch for Round Two.

Why do I get the feeling Daz has a lead on a Mariachi band for Cinco de Mayo? I guess time will tell. Another great video! Cheers Blokes!🥃

I hope I'm not repeating already known info, but the interesting relationship between scotch and bourbon is that it is customary for scotch makers to let their drink mellow in used bourbon barrels. I don't know if all scotch makers do this, but it is common practice.

Hey blokes I'm sure you know by now but Buffalo makes Weller as well. It's a very high requested bourbon. It's very good I'm glad you guys tasted it and enjoyed it

I’m sober now (unfortunately, whiskey is the key to the door that unlocks all of my demons 😈) but Weller was my go to when I was drinking. Weller with one cube of ice is fantastic. Now I live vicariously through videos like this. Well done, fellas. You’ve kept me on the wagon another day 😜

Booze is just fun. There's SO many different whiskeys and stuff and sometimes knowing the story of how it's made or history of the distillery or whatever is interesting. Plus there's so many different flavors and literally thousands of slight differences to so many different kids of whiskey, let alone all the other boozes and beers and what have you. Plus who doesn't love drinking with your mates, lol.

An interesting note about bourbon is that it's kind of like champagne...in order for it to technically be called bourbon, it has to come from Bourbon County, Kentucky. Otherwise, it's just a whiskey. Another interesting fact is that the best American bourbon/whiskey comes from Kentucky and Tennessee. This geographic area has a ton of caves with natural mineral springs, and it's widely regarded that this water is what makes the whiskey of this area so good. Also, American whiskey/bourbon will be a bit sweeter than scotch whiskey because of the corn mash.

The common theme was I was expecting more smoke. Bourbon is casted in freshly charred Oak barrels. Because of this they still will give off the oak taste. When the bourbon is done those barrels are shipped overseas and filled with scotch by then most of the oak taste is gone and you can only get a nice Oak flavor from really old scotch.

Have you done videos for Irish whiskey and scotch yet? You could do separate videos for each and then a video comparing each guys favorite bourbon vs. favorite Irish whiskey vs. favorite scotch. I love comparing different types/brands of alcohol!

Don’t have any bourbon to drink for this video so my rum will have to do. Cheers fellas!

From Kentucky. Buffalo Trace is great. Weller’s is a fav. Bourbon 30 is a hidden gem. Definitely try some bourbon 30. We love our bourbon. Great video guys.

Glad to see you enjoyed these three Buffalo Trace products! Funny thing is that these used to be easily available here in the states a few years ago, now they are all pretty hard to find. The only one you may see is actual Buffalo Trace. Eagle Rare is the most expensive of the three at retail ($34 in Maine) and is aged 10 years and close to a single barrel product. The Weller is actually the cheapest at around $25, however because of its popularity it is going for around $100 on the secondary market! All three also make a killer Old Fashioned cocktail.

Three excellent choices to drink. Eagle Rare is my favorite whiskey that's relatively easy to find.

Bourbon tasting tips from a native Kentuckian: Always smell before sipping (a couple drops of water helps to fully release the bouquet), hold it on your tongue for a few seconds & inhale before swallowing, and having a bite of premium dark chocolate before tasting a different bottle will cleanse your palate. Doing these things will help you experience the full flavor profiles. My go-to bourbons are Four Roses Small Batch and Woodford Reserve Double Oaked. Cheers!
