The Best Whiskey This Year... How Did 13th Colony Double Oaked Bourbon Get This Good?

  • Last year's release of this bottle missed our "Whiskey of the year" blind by a couple of weeks and we agreed it would have been top 3. This year when it came out we made sure to get our hands on it. Can it live up to the hype of last year at a 2x price increase?

    Here’s some questions you need to ask them.
    1. Why is it not straight bourbon whiskey on the label
    2. Why is there not state of distillation
    3. How is maple finished considered double oak and what is their special finishing process?
    4. How do they get it so black?
    Not being straight bourbon whiskey and no state of distillation allows a producer to add color and flavoring to it. Not saying they are but they have been unresponsive to these questions.

    Glass half full: Maybe if enough under the influencers hype this and compare to BTAC it will push the legacy brands to up their game instead of bottom shelfers being allocated bottles.
    Glass half empty: Legacy brands will completely ignore the success of a smaller distillery and slap their Buffalos on crap like BBQ seasoning and laugh all the way to the bank.
    Glass full of hate: Hyped into extinction I'll spend the rest of my miserable short existence never experiencing this whiskey.

    More unobtanium, whiskey I will never be able to acquire. Have to live vicariously through Dan and Sean's review. I knew about the 2023 release of the 13th Colony Double Oaked, tried to buy a bottle online and it literally sold out in a matter of seconds. However, I did pick up a bottle of their Rye, which I am eager to try since the Double Oaked will forever be unattainable. Another note, Bourbon Outfitters doesn't ship to MN, so will you be adding other distributors than just them?
