Some say that the Single Barrel is the new allocated whiskey alternative. A lot of experienced whiskey enthusiasts will focus more on finding a good single barrel than hunting down allocated bottles. But are they really better? Is the single barrel from a brand better than its regular shelfer? Well we put that to the test. A BLIND TEST. Which do we prefer?   #bourbonrealtalk #bourbonrealtalkcommunity #bourbon #whiskey #bourbonlist #whiskeylist #whiskeyadvice #allocatedwhiskey #singlebarrel #singlebarrelwhiskey #blindtasting #whiskeytasting #bourbontasting #whiskeycommunity #whiskeylife #bourbonlife #bourbontrail #whiskeytube

It seems only fair to follow up our previous episode - "Top 8 Allocated Whiskeys Worth the Hunt" - with the Top 11 Allocated Whiskeys NOT Worth It. Of course this is just our opinion and based on our palate so you should absolutely try these before you buy them. See for yourself. If you love them, then great. However, based on our experience, these are not worth the hunt or secondary prices. What do you think? Have you tried these? Comment below your thoughts.

There is a lot of allocated whiskey out there and equally as much hype around certain bottles. Even the thought of bottles that are labeled as "allocated" drive some to FOMO. But, just because a whiskey or bourbon is allocated, is it worth the hunt? Are all allocated whiskeys worth driving all over town, store to store, waiting in lines, paying premiums...are they worth it? We don't think so. Here are our TOP 8 allocated whiskeys/bourbons.

It's horrible to think about and almost brought me to tears looking at this photo of my whiskey wall on fire, but begs the question - is all this whiskey covered in my home insurance policy? If my collection burned down, or an earthquake, or any accidental damage...would my home insurance replace it? And if they would, how much would they pay? Would it be market value or what I paid for the bottles? All of these questions and more are covered in this episode where I sit down with my insurance agent and find answers.

We've had the expensive whiskey's of the world. Most of them we love and enjoy. BUT, what about those screw-top whiskeys that live on the bottom shelf? We decided to walk into our local liquor store and find the cheapest whiskeys that had to offer and rank them blind. You might find the results pretty shocking!   ********************************** For EXCLUSIVE CONTENT and DEEPER CONNECTION :: patreon.com/bourbonrealtalkplus **********************************   Still Austin Whiskey Co - Order online or find a retailer near you!   #bourbonrealtalk #bourbon #whiskey #cheapwhiskey #cheapbourbon #bourbonhunting #bourbondrinking #bourbontasting #whiskeytasting #whiskeytips #whiskeycollection

Have you ever wondered how two bourbons can taste so different? Given the strict guidelines that must be followed to qualify a whiskey as a bourbon, how is there such a variance?

If you've been around the whiskey community for long at all, you've heard the term "whiskey hunting". It's the art of searching high and low, store to store, relationship to relationship - all in order to find a bottle of allocated whiskey. But is it all worth it? Is it stupid to invest so much time and energy into finding a single bottle of bourbon?

Many may find it surprising that a brand as historic as Wild Turkey that is so largely distributed would only have a couple mashbills. But the question is, do ALL of the bourbons that Wild Turkey and Russell's offer really come from just one bourbon mashbill?

If you've been hunting whiskey for any amount of time, chances are you have found yourself frustrated with your local liquor stores. They never have the allocated whiskey you are looking for, and when they do, they seem to "save it for their friends". No doubt the local liquor stores get a lot of flack in whiskey shopping, but is it for good reason? Let's hear from the liquor store owner's perspective.   ***************************************************************** Still Austin Whiskey Co - Order online or find a retailer near you! *****************************************************************   If you like this content, or even the discussion of this subject, we would like to personally invite you to join our free member community.   #whiskey #bourbon #bourbonhype #bourbonhunting #buyingwhiskey #pappy #papyvanwinkle #pappy20 #pappy15 #ripvanwinkle #blantons #whiskeycollection #bourboncollection #bourbonhunting #whiskeyhunting #allocatedbourbon #allocatedwhiskey #whiskeyadvice #whiskeytips #bourbonlife #bourbondrinking #bourbonlist #bourbonlover #whiskeylife #whiskeybusiness #whiskeycommunity #bourboncommunity #bourbonrealtalkcommunity #expensivebourbon #bourbonshopping #bourbonenthusiast #rarebourbon #liquorstore

During my journey I have come across countless "myths" about alcohol and its impact on diets and health. In this episode we bring on Dr. J. Mack Slaughter. I have know Dr. Slaughter since he was about 15 years old. He was in a boy band that Lindsey did photography for. The band didn't last long, but J. Mack parlayed that into a successful career in Hollywood. Rather than being eaten up by Hollywood, J. Mack saved his money and used it to put himself through medical school. Now he practices medicine as an ER doctor and is also a content creator educating people about medicine with about half a million followers. In this episode J. Mack and I discuss whether or not whiskey is healthy, and can it be integrated into a diet to help you to lose weight?

Have you ever wondered how much earth it takes to produce one bottle of whiskey? Well, we used to have that very same question. So we set out to get the answer, and there was only ONE place to go to find out - Frey Ranch Distillery. Colby and his family have been farming this slice of Nevada since before Nevada was a state.

So we know that Van Winkle wheated bourbons have the same mashbill and are distilled at the same distillery as the Weller line. We know that the only differences are either proof, barrel selection, age, and of course - price. BUT. Do these products taste vastly different?

It doesn't matter how long you've been hanging around in the whiskey community, you know there is a lot of hype about certain bottle. A LOT of hype. But is it warranted?

Today we set out to find the answer to the question - "Can what you taste in a whiskey and whether you like that whiskey be influenced"? Though the results may be shocking, we totally saw it coming. Some whiskeys out there have a lot of hype. Some have a very high value on the market. Some are allocated and hard to find. But does that mean they are better than the more affordable, shelf available products? Are you being influenced? Manipulated?

Let's say you're shopping for some bourbon and you see a 10 year bourbon, along with that same brand with an 18 year age statement. Wouldn't you assume the 18 year would be a better choice? It's likely a higher price point, so it's gotta be better right? Not so fast!   In this episode we secretly double blind taste test 3 whiskey enthusiasts to see if they really prefer the taste of a higher aged bourbon. The results are pretty surprising!   If you like this content, or even the discussion of this subject, we would like to personally invite you to join our free member community.   #whiskey #bourbon #highagebourbon #highagewhiskey #buffalotrace #blindtasting #elijahcraig #whiskeytasting #whiskeylover #bourbonfan #bourbondrinking #bourboneducation #whiskeycommunity #howitsmade #blantonsbourbon #whiskeyhistory #bourbonhistory #wildturkey #colonelblanton #knobcreek #expensivewhiskey #expensivebourbon
