    I am half jealous half grateful. Half living vicariously, half living it. Half being a hater, half calling people haters. I have JD12 and I picked it up at a steal ($90), but have never seen Russell's 13 in the wild. I am Harvey Dent. Awesome video! I hated it.

    Being fortunate enough to have both of these, and having off tomorrow as I go on vacation, I decided to do this alongside your video. I came up with nose to JD, palate to Russels, and then the finish to the JD. The flavor just goes on and on. Cheers Mr Porter, and thanks for all the entertainment.

    Thanks Matt, nice review! For me, pallet is the most important part of the experience, although whiskey does last alot longer if you try to consume it primarily by sniffing / nosing… finish is what you are just left to think about when the glass is, sniff(sad), empty.

    Love the head to head, but gotta respectfully disagree with ya lol I personally found jd 12 to be wonderful for about 15 seconds, then the jack daniels note hits me in the finish and ruins it for me. While the RR is consistent and more classically done. Somehow, JD ryes dont have that strong jack note, and i enjoy those quite a bit, but I cant get past that note in their bourbons...cheers, Matt!

    To my untrained palate, both of these are phenomenal bottles. They each offer completely different amazing experiences. Choosing one over the other would be a difficult decision, so why not choose both? Fortunately, both were obtained at MSRP. I feel the JD12 is the better value, and RR13 is a bit overpriced at $149.

    I agree that JD12 is a little better than RR13... 8.0 to 7.8 on my scale... But both fell short of my crazy high expectations.... Life lesson... Don't have crazy high expectations to avoid disappointment.
    I agree, the nose on the JD12 is one of the best things you'll ever smell... But after that high, high note I found the palette to just be "meh." Good flavors but VERY muted. Then the finish comes back nicely.
    As is often the case, if you can find these at MSRP they are phenomenal bottles at that price point. But I don't think either are worth what they get on secondary... But... Most things aren't... Except the Coy Hill... That one is probably worth it.

    Somehow, American Whiskey surpassed Scotch Whisky as the most pretentious and overpriced Whisk(e)y spirit in the world. I think it’s even worse than Japanese Whisky. Just as proof of this, Jack Daniels 10 and 12 years and Russell’s 13 year go for over $200 a bottle. In comparison, I can head to any liquor store and buy a 10-14 year Arran, Bruichladdich, Bunnahabhain…etc, for $50-$90. These Whiskies are just about better in every way possible. It’s time to let these American Distilleries know we want the age statements without the ridiculous prices. This is why Elijah Craig and Knob Creek are killing it for value in age stated bourbon. That’s my take.
