Dude you are the best at reviewing whiskies. Please keeping making videos… been waiting months for this video after watching all of your other videos. On a side note, I saw your comment about the 2023 bracket line… you have any thoughts on the pappy line? If I am sitting somewhere and have options to drink.. I wish I knew how pappy stacked up with btac and your rare and limited list. Thanks again!
Definitely do a review of the KoK. Just cracked barrel 33 of this year and it might be the best I’ve ever had. I couldn’t even pick out notes on it. Did a side by side with GTS 2020.
My number one is my 2023 GTS. After 3 years of developing relationships, collecting and hunting , I got one for an acceptable price. If you live outside of Kentucky, KOK is impossible at a reasonable price. It’s a dream bottle. Someday…..cheers.
Curious if your ECBP C923 has a laser code in the back that starts with 22 or 23? Some are saying that those that start with 23 are superior to those that start with 22. 🎉
Great observation - I’ve tried them all and debated doing a review on the set but, overall I thought all but Eagle Rare were down from past years. I did contemplate putting ER in, but not having one myself, being limited in my sample of it, and then it did fall off a bit in the longer it just didn’t make the cut for me. Really great bottle though. That said, it’s still BTAC. If you have the chance to get one at retail they are great bottles…but if someone was going to trade or go secondary I suggest past releases.
Are you spilling the tea that Michter's is sourced from Old Forester? Living outside of Kentucky, I know finding most allocated bottles is not an option without making some great effort or cost. Still I enjoy hearing about what bottles made this list this year.
Great call, I realized that in editing I should probably not have had that presumption. Though, I think it is presumed often the older Michter’s stock is BF (so this is me using that same presumption). If it isn’t, it certainly shares similar veins.
Sorry! Just left it where I keep it for photography. I have a slew of new lights to unpack in the studio though so it’ll look different come next video.
Yeah...WT keeps increasing the prices to slow down the supply/demand chain. They were saying that they weren't going to do what BT is doing with putting out more of their products...they want to keep the amount the same...but increase the prices. That Russel's 15 year is going to be outrageously priced when it comes out!
Great job. Thanks for Sharing!
Great list and details! Love the hat! Is that available anywhere online?
Sadly I think we are sold out, they were for Seelbach’s

What a list! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the good, great and not so good regarding rare and limited whiskeys.
Glad to see you in one of these videos’ comments 😎

Great list. Would love to see a single video review of your #1 pick King of Kentucky.
Great list Brian!! A lot of hitters. I still have to find a pour of that 4RLE. Cheers
I hope you do - would love to hear your thoughts.
Four Roses LE 135th Anniversary is #1 for me
A great bottle!
For the first time I was able to find this at MSRP with the help of friends but this KOK is amazing!!! This holds up to its hype!!!
Yes!
Great list Brian 👍
Thank you!

That’s amazing! Enjoy that.
Nice 👍
I watched your video and I liked it 👌
Thank you!
Wow! Thats a hellofa list! Congrats ! Where are you ordering your bottles from ?
These were all picked up from theirs respective distilleries aside from Four Roses (liquor store by my house) and King of Kentucky (Costco).
Great selections…enjoyed the video and agree on most. I would add Stagg, Old Forrester Birthday and Wild Turkey 12 yr (Japan Release).
That WT12 was my top bottle last year! Fantastic stuff. Truthfully, I don’t even know if I tried any of the Stagg batches this year.
Brian great list. All I’m gonna say is; blind these with Disco 3,4 & 11 as a control. The real KoK came out of 1500 Parkway this year. Cheers!
Cheers Christopher! Disco 11 was my #1 on my more accessible bourbon list.
Did you try the Russel’s CNF?
It’s in the list
It’s in the list

Every one I’ve tried has been 23333xxxx
Great bottles! Curious, any reason why no BTACs? Is your list what you got your hands on or tried only? Or they really weren’t as good this year?

Great list, but you have to move that backlight closer and lower pointing up, your blinding me bro.

Maker's Cellar Aged is a Just Fine whiskey. But not worth the hype fo sho.
Exactly.
