    If you read the back WT 101 label, it states, "...aged for up to six to eight years...", which is confusing. If it's aged up to 6, that means 6 years max, so putting the 8 yrs after that, is just meant to confuse people into thinking there could be stuff older than 6 yr (up to 8yr) when they just said, up to 6 yr. If it was aged up to 8yr, then that's all it would state. There is no reason to write, "up to 6yr", if there is anything older than 6yr in it. I think it's strange how many whiskey reviewers interpret that as meaning it's aged 6 to 8yrs, when it is actually 6 yr or lower.

    • @whiskeyisajourney
      @whiskeyisajourney 3 години тому

      I see what you are saying. So that means it's a batch product including whiskey anywhere up to 6-8 years of age? WT 101 does not come with an age statement so they can put any aged whiskey into it they want. The Anniversary bottle has the 8 year age statement on it so it can't have anything younger in it but it can have older whiskey in the batch. Correct?

    Yeah, in Southern NV, Weller anything is never on shelves. Couple weeks ago, I had to win a lottery to buy Weller 107 at $60 + tax.. Saw 1 bottle of Weller Special Reserve in a casino/hotel gift shop marked up to an insane $57!! Paying $20-25 is prob not even a good value for that. Though E.H Taylor BiB bourbon $60-70 & BiB Rye $80, now sits on shelves. There's not a lot, but they are there & don't move much at those prices. Buffalo Trace just dropped to $19.98 & there's pallets available all day, every day.

      Every once and a while Total Wine will get a shipment of Weller, Stagg, EHT and if your timing is good you can get a bottle, but that means either being there right as they open or if they get enough in there will be something left after the initial rush to buy. Cheers!

    The pour of the 13 I had at a whiskey bar was way too oak forward. The Baker’s 7 (8yr1mo) and Knob Creek 15 I have are much better. I think the $35 Beam SB I have is a more flavorful pour than that 13 too. There’s been way too many subpar LE’s for the prices these distilleries are charging. Great comparison at the end. Cheers 🥃

    Great list! I knew the RR15 would take your top bourbon! That JD SBBS Rye was my winner last year and I have a different bottle that might win it this year!

      For me there is more to it then just the taste. It holds memories and experiences so this will always be on my shelf. Even more so now that my mother passed away in January of 2023.

    I really like the 2024 Baker's 13. As you mention, it's a much more well rounded bourbon than the 7 year (mine is also 8Y7M). Over about a month of time the 7 really improved for me. If the 13 does the same, I will be very happy. I found my 13 for $110 at TW in TX. Cheers!

    Well, one year later at the Costco Katy Mills, Texas I found a cigar blend batch 351 for $200 beforetax. I think I’ll give it a go to get it off the bucket list.

    Bakers 7 is one of favourite go to bottles over here it's one of the cheaper options at around $95-$115AUD and at the 107proof that's a bargain in Australia.... I hope the 13yr becomes available here at some point or my local bourbon bar gets a bottle so I can try... HAPPY NEW YEAR PETER 🎉 and thanks for videos this year loved everyone of them... Looking forward to seeing what you do next year..... Dram on Peter Dram On 🥃 🥃🥃
