  • Andre is a treasure of taste and culture for all. He is eloquent but not pompous. Educated but not a braggart. Sophisticated but not afraid to live (and maybe a little love) the Beam nostalgia. Cheers to you Andre!
  • @spHDfilms1
    Since those glasses are now discontinued, Andre should partner with a glass manufacturer and release his own version. I’m sure most of us who are fans of his will cop.
  • @mcwine18
    Start your own channel my guy, it'll be a great success.
  • @sethl8905
    What a genuinely likable personality.
  • @penguhype5344
    Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bon is one of the best bourbons at the price that you will consistently be able to find. Always on my shelf
  • @Ian_Bungy
    I would like to see Andre explore scotch in an upcoming episode
  • @zyzzbrahs105
    this is a fantastic video about bourbon. worth noting (as you already said) that weller special reserve (green label) is NOT worth 90$. it's a 23-30$ bottle for a 750ml and it is fantastic for the price. it is incredibly hard to find a bourbon that will match it for the same price point. others are wild turkey 101, evan williams bottled in bond. just wanting to throw that out there for people who are watching this and new to bourbon.
  • @allenpiazza1409
    I've been waiting for Andre to put out another video! I love all of his takes and learn so much! Thank you for another great episode!!
  • @MisterRabbiit
    If you only want to spend $20 on bourbon... can't go wrong with Wild Turkey 101.
  • To the best of my knowledge, the DSP KY number refers to the distillery, not the bonded warehouse. KY-1 is the first registered Kentucky distillery (at least currently open)
  • @chefbabyryan1
    I’d also highly recommend Wild Turkey 101 & Buffalo Trace Kentucky straight. Both are phenomenal in taste, quality & value. Cheers 🥃
  • @stephenperry4197
    I use the Evan Williams Bottled in Bond to make homemade vanilla extract. Works very nicely at a very reasonable price.
  • @MrNeilgoetze
    EW BIB is $14 here in Ohio ha so thankful! HUGE deal!
  • Weller SR is NOT a $90 bottle😂😂😂. MSRP on it is $25, anyone selling for higher is just price gouging
