[SPEAKER_02]: Nob Creek just released a 21 year old bourbon, an age alone gets the attention, but it doesn't guarantee greatness or value.
[SPEAKER_02]: So had an idea, we're going to bring in West, the biggest nob Creek homer on planet Earth.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to give it to him double blind, and we're going to see whether or not he thinks it's good as the best bird.
[SPEAKER_02]: claimers, you know, we're going to talk about some of the manufacturing details of these, but tastes as subjective, and we're not commenting on secondary price or whatever everything that we talk about is going to be about the manufacturer suggested retail price.
[SPEAKER_02]: And what I thought we do is we bring Westin right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Double blind, let him taste this whiskey up, get his assessment, and I'm just praying and hoping that he's going to be able to suck out that this is his favorite bourbon, and we'll see whether or not he thinks this 21 year is worth all of the money and all the hype.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, Wes, before you, I have a scientific experiment.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, of science.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, for those of you watching at home, Wes just got here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Glasses report.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_02]: He saw in the bottles.
[SPEAKER_02]: He knows nothing.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is what, this is a great teaching opportunity.
[SPEAKER_02]: If I didn't know what was in each class, it would be a single blind, for you it'd be a double blind.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't know if this is wrong, it could be right, whiskey, it could be a really dark tequila, it could be anything.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: And so this is double blind for him.
[SPEAKER_02]: He has no idea what he's tasting.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I have come up with a theory because I know my buddy's pallet.
[SPEAKER_02]: And we're going to test that bad boy, and then once we do the reveal, we're going to get in to the meat of the discussion.
[SPEAKER_02]: So in fact, you'll be watching this after it's not going to play in the same order, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: So this is the first thing we do.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to record the other stuff that you just watch later.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, ready?
[SPEAKER_02]: Smell it up, taste it up, rake it up, let me know what you think.
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought that was the answer that all the time.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, wow, this is a Lincoln intro.
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it's a little sour.
[SPEAKER_01]: And these are the first ships of the day.
[SPEAKER_01]: The first ships of the day.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was getting nervous when you know things that I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you live at a constant level of nervousness, then?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_01]: You are always knowing things I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: But as it pertains to bourbon that I'm sipping in front of me, I'm an extra nervous.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, okay, okay, I'm picking up what you put down, I think I've got a theory almost happening here.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: you may mute this watch.
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, what am I supposed to do?
[SPEAKER_01]: Just talk about what I'm thinking about.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, tell me what's thinking.
[SPEAKER_02]: Tell me how, tell me how these whiskey's make you feel.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the first sip of the day.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I mean, you gotta have a little grace on my palate.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just waking up.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, sometimes we do a warm-up pour.
[SPEAKER_02]: Today we did not do that because we started right off with the clots even doughnuts.
[SPEAKER_01]: I wanna say that these tastes like they would, they could be the same bourbon, except different proof points.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: They all have very, very similar, at least on my baby little infant pallet of the day that has not tasted any whiskey today.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a taste very similar, just as you go left to right, they get a little bit more onth to them.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it could be a little more purfeer at the end.
[SPEAKER_01]: At first I was thinking that you were taking the same burden, but different years or different producers or something like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, but I don't know, they are very similar to me right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you have a preference?
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a dude, could you rank them in an order and say which one you like more?
[SPEAKER_02]: Or I'd be very hard.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, they're that similar.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're that similar.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know that I could, if I'm really probably during the rest of these, which I don't want to, because we're just starting, and we've got quite a bit to record today, I could probably like parse out small differences, at least it's familiar, bourbon.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's better than I've definitely have.
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to say it's knob creek in some way, but I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the first pour of the day.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to embarrass myself.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but I Dig in.
[SPEAKER_02]: See if you can assess it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh gosh.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, man.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're trying to make me look crazy on TV.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I hate it when that happens.
[SPEAKER_02]: Actually, I hate it what happens to one of us.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's hilarious.
[SPEAKER_02]: I happen to get this to a guest.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is definitely, I would say, a gym being product.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's like got that kind of nuttyness to it.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like quintessential with a little bit of those sweet, cinnamon-y flavors, too.
[SPEAKER_02]: Check out my boys, palette.
[SPEAKER_02]: What?
[SPEAKER_02]: He knew nothing, son.
[SPEAKER_02]: Nothing.
[SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I would say like I said, I think it's the same bourbon different proof points or different Ages or something.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll take a leap and say it's not Greek.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like a single barrel at 12 and a 15 or something or a regular 9 and a I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if you had a bullet.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you said single barrel 12 and a 15
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, because one of them doesn't take you like would be a hundred proof like they're all got a little a little off.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, it feels what I'm not going to just be the first because it's my first don't don't lean into that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, that yeah, I will I will tell you that you're your experience with it feeling hot is because
[SPEAKER_02]: It's 10 o'clock in the morning.
[SPEAKER_01]: I just started to break it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: So don't lean into that.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you're definitely on the right track.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: So if you were going to try to guess which one was 12, 15, or whatever else, do you have any guesses?
[SPEAKER_02]: Or are they just tasting too similar to you right now?
[SPEAKER_02]: I did not lead him.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's figured everything out on his own so far.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this might be the not-creek.
[SPEAKER_01]: Nine.
[SPEAKER_01]: OK. All right, that's my guess.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you ready for the reveal?
[SPEAKER_01]: Ha ha ha.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're going to be happy.
[SPEAKER_01]: OK.
[SPEAKER_02]: When welcome to today's episode of what you have on your e-commerce site, I'm your host Randy Sullivan.
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's get right to the questions.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you have glintoppers?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, do you have t-shirts?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, do you have bottled carrying bags?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, do you have storage?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, do you have an aroma kid?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, people!
[SPEAKER_02]: We have everything at BourbonRillTop.com.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is stupid.
[SPEAKER_02]: Why don't we even need a game show?
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the first pour of the day, man.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a lot of pressure for the.
[SPEAKER_02]: On your left hand side, what you thought might be the night here.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I'll create 12 here.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, the 12, okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: 100 proof though, it's right on the proof.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know it was either the nine or in the middle.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I'll create a 10 year.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so 100 proof.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: That drink a little hotter than I thought.
[SPEAKER_01]: on your right not create 21 year whoa i didn't have that yet i know that's why but they're all 100 years they're all 100 proof yeah yeah it's definitely so crazy because again i didn't even know that they
[SPEAKER_01]: They were not creeks, but then I was like, okay, these, the difference in the heat feeling like the umph to them was, there's definitely a difference.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: For them all being the exact same proof, that's crazy.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, that just goes to show those added compounds from the extra exposure to the wood can affect the way it sits on your palate, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: Because this was definitely the least proofy of all of them.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's why I thought maybe this could be the nine or something, the hundred proof.
[SPEAKER_01]: These, this one,
[SPEAKER_01]: This one drank a little hotter to me today.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that was kind of wild.
[SPEAKER_01]: But again, first pour, I mean, everything tastes a little hot, so.
[SPEAKER_02]: So now that you know what it is, does it taste like the greatest bread in this ever been made?
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, of course it does.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm being serious, like I thought for sure that when I was able to acquire a non-creek 21,
[SPEAKER_02]: The West would taste it and he'd be like this is it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm done.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, this is the king of all bourbon George T. Stag goes sit down.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a mess.
[SPEAKER_01]: Go sit down on my right hand.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm Creek 21 says you know what it does it's I'm just
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to come back to this and maybe a couple hours for him.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And sip it, because that first out the gate, this was not fair, but it was also the only way that I could fully make sure that there was a double blind for him.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because all they really just walked in these glasses are just like this, so.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so it's not a fair situation if his palette had been warm.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I mean, y'all saw him sussing it out.
[SPEAKER_02]: His palette's legit.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, man, these were all like the same.
[SPEAKER_01]: Something's the same.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, we're talking about minor differences.
[SPEAKER_02]: So then the question becomes, that is super good.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I just want to come back to it after my pal.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's super warmed up and I can really explore it a little bit more.
[SPEAKER_02]: So what have you heard about the knob creek 21?
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure you have been wanting to try it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I've obviously kept an eye out for it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not the whiskey hunter that I used to be, but, you know, if I, I don't know, I would take a miracle for me to stumble into a store and find ones.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was just like,
[SPEAKER_01]: I was actually hoping you'd score one at some point I'd be able to try it over here, but yeah, I was super excited to see it as one of these options and to dive into it a little bit more later on and kind of get to know it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, so there's this story on this one.
[SPEAKER_02]: I have a consulting client that I've been working with in Utica, New York and he started to get into Whiskey, shout out to Michael and he called his local Whiskey store and they had three of these and he said
[SPEAKER_02]: And so that's how I got a hold of this button.
[SPEAKER_02]: He was also a huge jerk and paid for it, and would not let me reimburse him.
[SPEAKER_02]: And so terrible jerk.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just hit him with a huge care package.
[SPEAKER_02]: So my boy's about to have the best whiskey collection in you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Nice.
[SPEAKER_02]: If he keeps being so generous towards me, I'm gonna have to pay it back.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's awesome.
[SPEAKER_02]: So obviously, age on this one, 21 years, proof, 100 proof, distillery, gym beam, line is not Greek.
[SPEAKER_02]: Manufacturers suggested retail price.
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you know what?
[SPEAKER_02]: I did not.
[SPEAKER_02]: 249.99 is what we call this for.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's a little bit expensive.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's up there.
[SPEAKER_02]: That firmly placed in the ultra premium category, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: So do you know the history of the name not Greek?
[SPEAKER_01]: I do.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: As a... Give us a second.
[SPEAKER_01]: As Nop Creek's number one fan on the planet, of course I know the story, Randy.
[SPEAKER_01]: It comes from one of our founding greatest presidents of all time, Abraham Lincoln.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Actually lived near this, a farm that was near or maybe the creek went through it or was near.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the creek went through the farm.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's called Nop Creek.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: And so it's Kentucky.
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's where he grew up as a child, and so, um, yeah, I mean, that's, that's what I know of the actual, it is the actual creek, the actual name.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I did do know he almost drowned.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I do know that.
[SPEAKER_01]: He actually almost drowned, um, and someone like his neighbors, one of his friends, yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Was able to save him, um, and so, um, yeah, that, not creek almost took him down, and that's why I take not creek down every day.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, in honor of day.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right, because think about what would happen if he had drowned.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, we might have gotten there eventually, but without his leadership, our country would have struggled to get on the right side of history.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's done so much, he's done so much for, since the release you could do is tip a glass to old honest Abe.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, of some job Creek.
[SPEAKER_02]: And now there's a national park there, and I guess Jim Beam decided to honor that American history of rural Kentucky and created the Knob Creek brand.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, I thought it was interesting that Jim being decided to do a 21 year, that's what it's risky.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I think that in my, in your opinion, is not Creek one of the brands that does better with age or.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: For me, yeah, they do age really well.
[SPEAKER_01]: And.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, there's only a handful that do, I think.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: I couldn't imagine a wild turkey 21 year.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think I'd like it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Heaven Hill has done some high-age stuff pretty well.
[SPEAKER_01]: Jim Beam has as well.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that they're one of the better ones.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, the 18 has always been.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, for an 18 year old bourbon, it's super good.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it holds together those, those higher ages.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I kind of see this as a testament to the distilleries, you know, willingness to put themselves out there, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: And I believe they plan to make this a permanent brand-line extension, you know, which is pretty cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: That'd be awesome.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, let's talk about Nose Palette, so when you were experiencing this, you thought that this one was a lower proof version of the other two.
[SPEAKER_02]: Are you going to be that too?
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, just being able to taste kind of a more robust and kind of explore a little bit more flavors without having to fight through the proofiness of something, that's what I kind of would consider a little bit lower, but there's some obviously great bourbons that are high proof it.
[SPEAKER_01]: they don't drink like it.
[SPEAKER_01]: But this morning for the first poor, I was like sensing that it was the most approachable of all of them as far as just easy to get into the flavors right right off the bat and not have to fight it through any kind of proof.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so there's, there can be an integration of flavors that will, will integrate with the heat of the ethanol and it can still taste very balanced.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I would say that this, this has that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Would you feel comfortable giving it over all score
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm comfortable giving it in the score for where I'm at right now, because again, I would love to come back to it a little bit later in the day and taste it up after I've had a few pores.
[SPEAKER_01]: But one thing that I've noticed about it, and I noticed in the beginning, which is why I thought it might be a hundred perversion of these other options is, and I think
[SPEAKER_01]: that the nuttiness and mixed with kind of the chocolate cinnamon flavor that I always get with knob creek is just a lot more in your face.
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's it's maybe a little too nutty more nutty than I would like.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: As opposed to just the standard knob creek nine or even the 18 or these other ones.
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I know people would expect me to throw out a hundred out of a hundred
[SPEAKER_01]: and I'm sorry, Jam, I know you're watching, you're one of my biggest fans just as I am yours.
[SPEAKER_01]: So no disrespect at all, but I probably put this around in 95.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I still, I still delicious.
[SPEAKER_01]: I look because I love the combination of chocolate, nutty, cinnamon, flavors together, but it's just kind of a little bit over the top with some of those flavors, which is kudos to the, the distillery for maintaining that at such a high age.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not getting a lot of barrel tanons or any kind of like,
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, watered down flavor that you kind of get with some of those higher age stuff that people try to pull off But the flavors are really there and almost a little bit overly there.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna rate it in 92 from my palette.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay I just I just would need a little bit more fruit.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm that I'm more a fruit forward guy He's more of a nutty cinnamon chocolate guy.
[SPEAKER_02]: So totally makes sense.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, so the big question is Is it a buyer pass for you at 24999?
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a buy, but it's a buy, not with the past risks.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's a past risk buy.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the buy that I want to have just so that I have it, and so that the people can experience it, and so that I can experience it throughout the year, but it's not anywhere close to kind of like an easy buy, or I would just rebuild the time every time I saw it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_01]: If it's like,
[SPEAKER_01]: under 200, like it's 180 or 150 bucks, of course.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I do that.
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's 250, it's just up there for a forever.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's an asterisk by for me as well.
[SPEAKER_02]: And the asterisk would be, is this in your budget?
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not a 250 flavor by for me, because to the point,
[SPEAKER_02]: you know, these other options that are vastly different price points we're still similar if it first, you were having a hard time telling the difference.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: Between the three and it's like, well, good good news, brother, you just saved yourself a lot of money because you don't have to buy the super high ages.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: To experience that flavor, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I would still rate this a buy if it's within your budget because of the experiences that you can create with it.
[SPEAKER_02]: So what do you say we give away some whiskey?
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's give this one to me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so that's the guys can get a little bit of this.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll hit this.
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you, Michael.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I think we should give some away, man, because that's really, that's really a treat.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's really fun to try to figure out if you could tell any difference in general.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: These are, these are some premiums.
[SPEAKER_02]: So we're going to do half out several packs.
[SPEAKER_02]: So we're going to do five half out several pack winners.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and links for all three ways to support the channel are in the video description below on YouTube.
[SPEAKER_02]: And if this year first time tuning in, we'd love to tell you why we do it.
[SPEAKER_02]: We do.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, we love whisky.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, it tastes great.
[SPEAKER_02]: But we love people more, and we found that whisky was a great conduit to bring people together.
[SPEAKER_02]: that became something that was very important to me after our loss of love on the suicide who was missing some of those connections in his life and I thought maybe if I could get you connected to whiskey whiskey would do the rest of the job and get you connected to others and so we started this channel which has been successful but if you want people to connect they have to have a forum or some way to meet each other and we saw that some of the forums had some negative video out there so West came up with this brilliant idea that we should start a troll free whiskey
[SPEAKER_02]: It's free it's on Facebook and go join right now if you'd like and there's lots of good vibes going on and they're in fact The vibes were so good.
[SPEAKER_02]: We ended up starting our own 501c3 called livestateproject.org And we're great at fundraising, but we also are looking for suicide prevention nonprofits to partner with So if you go to livestateproject.org and you are involved in a nonprofit you can request a grant there
[SPEAKER_02]: And if you're legitimate and you're an actual 501C3, you'd probably be approved because we have money.
[SPEAKER_02]: So keep that in mind.
[SPEAKER_02]: Awesome.
[SPEAKER_02]: But we also want to kind of spread the good vibes and all of that stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: And we thought about how the negativity we saw on some of the other pages was.
[SPEAKER_02]: kind of contrary to what it was that we were we were trying to do and and we thought, you know, we could learn a lesson from this.
[SPEAKER_02]: If these people can hate a stranger online, there's nothing that keeps us from loving a stranger online and that's why we end every episode the same way and that's this.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you woke up this morning and you're unsure whether or not anyone loved you, just know that we love you and we'll see you next time on Birbroom Real Talk.
[SPEAKER_02]: Cheers!
