Seems a bit unfair to put the Proper 12 in with bourbon so I did my own blind with it . I put it up against a bog water and a mug of diesel and it just finished just outside the top 3 so it just goes to show 🤷🏻♂️

Heck yeah! “It’s TIME…!” You and Allison make a great team and really make me laugh. “Famingo”! 😂 Great topic to cover, Jeremy.
I loved this! I love seeing Allison in videos. As somebody very new to whiskey, please do a video with beginners whiskeys with her and which ones you both like the most.

Written by Bob Dylan for the soundtrack of the movie Pat Garret and Billy the Kid. Directed by Sam Peckinpah. Classic.
I’ve been watching your videos here and there but I think I’m going to become a regular here after this one. You guys had me with a big smile at the end, very fun to watch from start to finish
Really enjoy these videos. Good banter, discussion and good video idea. Most informative statement "If its easy drinking, its usually simple". You two are awesome!
Matthew McConaughey had Long Branch blended to be an easy drinker that he could enjoy with one ice cube. You were right on on that flavor profile.
I'm not an overly experienced bourbon drinker, but I've gone through several bottles of Longbranch over the last couple years. Found it to be a great, easy drinking bourbon that doesn't break the wallet.

Ngl, Brother’s Bond is surprisingly good and pleasant. I typically steer clear of celebrity alcohol brands, but the wife’s a huge Vampire Diaries fan and asked me to pick one up out of curiosity. I was not expecting it to be as fun to drink as it is. It’s not complex, but I completely agree that for a newer whiskey drinker it’s a perfect introduction and would be great as a base for cocktails. Surprisingly quality for me!

I felt the same about Proper 12. It’s like the Coor’s Light of whiskey. The battle says there’s alcohol, but you can’t taste it. Blackened is effing SOLID! Love that stuff now I’m looking for the rye.
Honesty is the best policy. Thank you for the great videos, can't wait to try some the top ones
In January 1975 Eric Clapton played on Arthur Louis's recording of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" which was arranged in a cross-over reggae style. After the recording sessions with Louis, Clapton recorded his own version of the song which was released as a single in August 1975 two weeks after Louis's version. Songwriter(s): Bob Dylan
Great great video. I just finished off the Blackened while looking at this video. Love this whiskey.
Fun entertaining video and love having you and your wife on together...would love to see you two doing a leaf and barrel!
Great video. Great chemistry! I'm just about a year into my whiskEy journey. Excellent editing and graphics. Super fun. Subbed
"Knockin' on Heaven's Door" was written by Bob Dylan for the soundtrack to the 1973 film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. Celebrity Whiskey can be good but usually cost a premium just for the name attached. Heard good things about Three Chord Bourbon by Pat Benatar's husband/guitarist Neil Gerardo.

Not a big fan of celebrity whiskeys (as if they care what I think) because, like you say, they're all multi-millionaires putting their names on bourbons that a lot of us can't really afford. Went to a Three Chord Bourbon tasting that my bar put on right before Covid. Met the "master distiller" only to find out that the bourbon is made by MGP and bottled in Michigan. Like the Metallica whiskey, they allegedly play music (put sound waves through the barrels) to allow the liquid to touch more of the wood.....super gimmicky. If I'm not mistaken the Bob Dylan bourbon is also a product of MGP. If the bottle doesn't say "distilled by" whoever is claiming to make the whiskey, it's probably a recipe someone got from MGP and slapped their name on it to make a few bucks and pretend to be a whiskey aficionado. A real distiller will have on their product's bottle "Distilled and bottled by (distillery) and the state in which is was distilled. I hate to admit it, but the Longbranch is pretty good because it is 6-8 year old Wild Turkey bourbon which has been filtered through mesquite charcoal (the McConaughy) influence. But it can still be called Kentucky Straight Bourbon because the mesquite wasn't part of the original distilling process. The bourbon had already been made. Sorry to bore everyone.
Great video. always enjoy them. especially when it’s you and your wife LOL! Speaking of double-barreled products hows that Woodford coming? 🥃💨
I'm a huge wild turkey fan and Longbranch is one of my favorites, especially with a cigar.
Im glad you reviewed brothers bond. Its my solid daily pour that i sip on without thinking too much. Its actually a 4grain bourbon, and they are coming out with a cask strength later this year. The two guy love bourbon and blended it themselves to fall under a brown-foreman profile. Great video🥃

Really pretty impressed with that one. I thought it might be trash but it’s actually a nice easy sipper.
Proper Twelve shouldn’t be put in this flight...... Heavens Door & Blackened has to be the best on the list you have there. Great quality video, love the setup🤘🏾💀🇺🇸 Cheers 🤘🏾💀🤘🏾🇺🇸🥃
I always enjoy the wild turkey, longbranch. A fine good small batch bourbon. Mashbill also well balanced.
Once again you two knocked it out of the entertainment park. I find that when I watch one of these I am sitting here unconsciously grinning from ear to ear. When you guys did the long cigar ash video, my cheeks actually hurt afterwards. This one was no less enjoyable, but I caught myself doing it halfway through and let my face relax, lol. Love your energies and personalities. Keep on keeping on guys! P.S. If Alcoholic Allison is a thing... I'm joining AA! 😀
I don’t mind Bobs Heavens Door bourbon. Tried their double cask and cask strength and it wasn’t terrible. Wild Turkey long branch isn’t bad either. But Proper 12 is dog shit.

Well yeah it kind of is...first time I opened and poured P12 I immediately saw what was wrong...the nose and flavor were totally mismatched...that said I HAVE tasted far worse whiskies so there was, I think, a bit of celebrity whiskey hate going on with how people were slamming it. curious about the Dylan whiskey though.
First time seeing your content, you guys do a really good job and very engaging. Now i want some Blackened. Cheers!
The blackened is great. I was afraid to try it at first and really hate it since I am a huge fan of Metallica but I'm glad my fear was not the truth I really enjoyed it. Thanks for the review
Great video! Long branch is currently one of my favorite bourbons, I love the smokiness and will always keep a bottle. Brothers Bond is surprisingly good, another keeper. I will be trying Blackened next, not even going to bother with Proper 12 lol.
Great video, have the 1st batch of Bradshaw bourbon, will have to try it out, and the Blackened will definitely have to have!
Love you both doing these kind of videos! That longbranch i've tasted and is ok. btw, your cigars from privada are amazing!

The Blackend barrels conditioned with bass tones comes from the old days when they would bring barrels on ships, the motion of the ocean would keep the contents in constant motion.
FYI Brothers Bond mashbill is actually a four grain. The proportions are believed to be 65% corn, 22% rye, 7% Wheat, and 6% malted barley. MGP sourced. Loved the video, keep it up!
Really enjoyed the episode and love my whiskey and cigar Bibles! Have you tried Rare Stash (Dustin Poirier whiskey)? I'm taking the fam to Florida for spring break, so I'm searching for it because I haven't seen it on any shelves in Indiana
I just found your channel, you guys are absolutely awesome! Love the videos and the perfect touch when you have the wife on! Keep the videos coming, loyal viewer going forward! With all the crazy sh*^ going on in the world, it's nice to forget for a few minutes watching your videos. Originally from Florida, now living in Ohio! Thank you.
Great video. Next time to keep the suspense up, go from worst to best and the last two explain the difference between them and why you are choosing the one that is going to be your favorite. Thanks for all the great videos👍🏼
Hi Jeremy.. love your videos. I recently purchased the Whiskey Bible for my Birthday... i think it would be great if you could do some kind of video or tutorial on how to use it. Maybe your best recommendations on what type of pen is best, and how to properly store it, and care for it. I absolutely love the Whiskey Bible. Thank you again for this. Blessings.

Tasting whiskey for the first time, and blind, is way harder than folks think. That’s what we do, and it won’t make anybody look like they know their stuff, but it sure is fun. Great video guys!

I love blackened and longbranch and yes Bob Dylan is the OG for Knocking on heaven’s door
Loving these videos of you two trying things
i adore wild turkey and i really really like Longbranch. Blackend also sounds pretty interessting. Ill try to pick one up
The sandlot reference lol. I use it nearly everyday. "Your killing me Smalls!"
Wild Turkey Longbranch is the one that got me hooked. I can't ever hate on this. This is where I would start any beginner. Yes, im biased, but I tasted Blantons, Woodford Double Oaked, and 1792 SB. I was unimpressed with them all until I tasted WTLB. 🥃
My GF is in love with the guys who made Brothers Bond so she added a bottle to my collection. I did a little research and they purposely wanted to have a very low proof whiskey because they wanted their fans to enjoy it as well. And since their alcohol legal fan base are 21-23yr old women that probably never drank whiskey, they wanted something easy for them to enjoy. They're in the works on a 10, 12 and 15yr and a cask strength.. if I recall correctly
It'd be fun to mix some other non-celebrity ones into some of these to see how they rank vs others
Newest subscriber. You two are already my favorite whisky reviewers. Wasn’t thrilled with Bradshaw. Blackened, Blackened Cask Strength and Blackened California are tasty. Going to see how those pair with a Padilla ‘For Whom The Bell Tolls’ cigar. I might have to try them with the Maduro cigar from Jeremy Siers, but you know how these celebrity brands can be. lol! Haven’t tried Heaven’s Door, or the others, but the 80’s Aussie band named Heaven had a killer version of ‘Knocking on Heaven’s Door’.🤘
Great to see you guys in another video, keep on keepin on...
Holy shit mate two Mondays in a row 😳 plus alchy Al great way to start the week . I always enjoy the vids with ya wife in them your chemistry is great 👍
Gotta get my hands on Blackened cigars now too! I love the Blackened Rye and want to pair them.
Stepdad loves Wildturkey. I'll have to get him a bottle of that Longbranch. Gives me an excuse to also get myself a bottle of Blackened while I'm there!
I've liked Blackened enough that I try to keep it around all the time, but I'm going to try out Bradshaw and Brothers Bond based on this.
I've had most of those. Blackened was definitely the best of the group.
You two are refreshing! Good people, good relationship to each other. And whiskey drinkers too!
Great video as always Jeremy. If you decide to do another one of these you should try the tiger thicc (Brendan schaub) and American highway ( brad Paisley). I have heard both are not bad.
I’m loving all your content! I wish I could enjoy the cigars you review though, but I quit smoking cigarettes 2 years ago and I know it would just be a gateway back into a pack a day.
My taste buds are more in line with Allison's, which is reasonable since I'm a woman, albeit probably 40 years older. I've never tried Blackened, Heaven's Door or Longbranch but I'm going out now and getting all three. Great video. I'm a new subscriber but I've seen enough to know you're a man who's worth listening to. I learn something valuable from every video I've seen on here and I thank you for that.
I would like to see a video on whiskey smoking. Haven't flipped through your video library yet to see if you have, But It's something that has my interest.
Love that you don’t play it safe. Not afraid to do these blind taste tests and put your opinions out there. 👍🏼 SUBSCRIBED
I just found this channel 30 minutes ago. I was surprised you didn't like McGregor's. I haven't had it myself but i have had Bushmill's and as far as the cheap Irish Whiskeys go, they're one of the best IMO. I'm a Scotch guy and haven't really gotten into American Whiskeys so hopefully i can find some good stuff on this channel. Great video BTW!
Great editing, really made it a good watch!
Heaven's Door is a go to for me! The double barrel is my fave and I can easily find it in South Carolina!!!
I love the videos with your wife, sooo entertaining + Whisky and Cigars can´t get better
Fantastic reviews! Gives me some new thing to try for the hell of it!
Have to completely agree with you about Proper 12, definitely not a favorite. I now will have to try the Blackened, was always curious, just couldn't pull the trigger.
Great vid, your content is always good to watch
Dillon first did Heaven Door. I have 2 of 3 and love them both!!
I have been enjoying a Three Chord (Neil Geraldo) 116.6 proof barrel pick 35% honey/65% toasted and while the standard Three Chord may not be the most talked about, this particular barrel pick is very tasty.
You guys are funny when doing videos together 😂 Keep up the good work! 🍻
BOB sang it first. It was wrote for a 1973 film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. It wasn't until 17 years later on June 26th 1990 that Guns and Roses released their cover of the song.
My wife got me some Tiege Hanley for Christmas and loved got it on automatic reorder!
Recently tried Longbranch and really enjoyed it. Proper 12 was awful. It's been a couple years, but I remember it having a very metallic and bitter taste. And not bitter like an IPA bitter, but like chemically bitter.
I feel like it would be good to throw in a regular whiskey too, just to see where it lands. Like a wild turkey 101 or something that you are familiar with, but keep it blind as well. That would be really interesting on these blind experimental episodes!
I LOVE IT when you two do vids together
Heaven's Door was written by Dylan, and as they say the movie Highlander: There can be only one... Love your videos, Brother (and Sister)!
Not sure if someone already said it but, Bob Dylan wrote KOHD, GNR did a great cover of the song though. Great video! 🤘
Please keep doing more vids I love your stuff
Heavens door Bourbon was really good, surprised you didn't go that route.
Yo! It's the A team. Awesome episode 👏🏻 was looking to get a bottle of brothers bond
Was hoping Sassenach was going to be in here. I'll have to give Heaven's door & Blackened a chance, though!
Good video topic. Your pallets are so close. I would also put Proper Twelve last. Cheers.
Again, thank you for the entertainment! Very much enjoyed the video, nice interaction with the two of you, much fun & I learned some stuff too! Thanx again!

Okay, well I guess I'm gonna have to try Blackened now. The only one of those I've tried is Proper No. 12. I found it was similar to Jameson but slightly more peppery. Not something I'd drink neat, but that black pepper taste comes out a little when mixed with coke, which is kinda interesting.

Proper twelve tastes like scotch tape adhesive to me. Heaven's Door barrel proofs can be fantastic, but I guess I need to try Blackened and Bradshaw. They sound good!
