Bourbon Real Talk

In January of this year, there was a report released by a Canadian organization funded by Health Canada in which they state that they recommended zero alcoholic drinks per week. They went on to say that two drinks per week would leave you at a relatively low-risk. With that said, there are some things that don't quite add up with this report and so we are here to expose the truth behind this research. 🟧 PATREON :: Exclusive content, barrel picks, hangouts, and more - 🟦 BOURBON REAL TALK COMMUNITY - private facebook group - #bourbonrealtalk #bourbonrealtalkcommunity #bourbon #whiskey #bourbonlist #whiskeylist #whiskeyadvice #whiskeyhealth #bourbonhealth #blindtasting #whiskeytasting #bourbontasting #whiskeycommunity #whiskeylife #bourbonlife #bourbontrail #whiskeytube

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. 🟧 PATREON :: Exclusive content, barrel picks, hangouts, and more - 🟦 BOURBON REAL TALK COMMUNITY - private facebook group - ⬜️ STILL AUSTIN - Get your bottle of delicious Texas-Made Whiskey - #bourbonrealtalk #bourbonrealtalkcommunity #bourbon #whiskey #bourbonlist #whiskeylist #whiskeyadvice #allocatedwhiskey #pappy #pappyvanwinkle #buffalotrace #buffalotracedistillery #whiskeycommunity #whiskeylife #bourbonlife #bourbontrail #whiskeytube

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. 🟧 PATREON :: Exclusive content, barrel picks, hangouts, and more - 🟦 BOURBON REAL TALK COMMUNITY - private facebook group -  ⬜️ STILL AUSTIN - Get your bottle of delicious Texas-Made Whiskey -   #bourbonrealtalk #bourbonrealtalkcommunity #bourbon #whiskey #allocatedwhiskey #allocatedbourbon #bourbonhunting #whiskeyhunting #whiskeycollection #whiskeytips #whiskeycommunity #whiskeylife #bourbonlife #bourbontrail #whiskeytube

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. 🟧 PATREON :: Exclusive content, barrel picks, hangouts, and more - 🟦 BOURBON REAL TALK COMMUNITY - private facebook group - ⬜️ STILL AUSTIN - Get your bottle of delicious Texas-Made Whiskey - #bourbonrealtalk #bourbonrealtalkcommunity #bourbon #whiskey #whiskeycollection #homeinsurance #whiskeyinsurance #naturaldisaster #housefire #whiskeydamage #whiskeycommunity #whiskeylife #bourbonlife #bourbontrail #whiskeytube

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

Block Bar is one of the only solutions to being able to get access and purchase highly allocated whiskey (and other spirits) with the option to sell it to someone else LEGALLY.
