    Got this at a raffle yesterday for MSRP. People picked ahead of me were clamoring for the Elijah Craig toasted barrel. When I saw that the Michter's was still available, it was a no brainer. This is probably my favorite pour of 2023.

    Was on vacation and went to a store in RI. Walked in and there was a michters barrel strength toasted rye. No price on it so I asked how much? The girl says 42.99…. Needless to say I ran out of that store with a smile on my face

    100% agree with your comparisons of the 2020 & 2023. The 2023, to me, is so sweet it makes it more difficult to cut through to those flavors like graham crackers and marshmallows that I get so easily in the 2020 version.

    Jason, very much agreed on Toasted expressions being more conplext and better balanced with rye's. Toasted Rye releases of Penelope and ASW Fiddler are no exception except that the bourbon versions are really buttery and soft, but rye spice takes it over the top. If you have an opportunity to get an ASW Toasted Rye or bourbon, don't hesitate to get both.
    Great thought to compare JD TBHB Rye. Char def comes thru and both great toasted ryes allowing more options for enthusiasts.and the community. Cheers on a great video.

    Got to try this and the 10 year rye at a big tasting recently and the toasted is fantastic. Hard truth was there with a sweet mash wheated bourbon and they were tied for the best whiskeys at the event. As far as what point something stops being whiskey I think amburana is the line, I’ve never had something finished in amburana that hasn’t been completely overwhelmed by it.

    • @kingkrow420
      @kingkrow420 9 місяців тому

      Maybe its stops being bourbon (as bourbon technically can’t be finished, thats why labels always say “finished in”), but its certainly doesn’t stop being whiskey. Whiskey is just distillate from fermented grain and then put into wooden containers. Amburana does not change any of that, as amburana is wood

    • @brycedou
      @brycedou 9 місяців тому

      Well aware of what bourbon/whiskey and amburana are but thank you for the clarification. His question was just more so about what point finishing over takes the whiskey and I think amburana does that for me. I don’t like that idea of distilleries using a finish gimmick to move bad whiskey.

They know I always appreciate being able to get the allocated items so I have no problem letting them try it or fill a sample bottle. 😎🥃cheers

    Stops becoming whiskey when it no longer hits the definition. So proof, additives, and mash ingredients. Just cause you don’t like purely sweet bourbon, that doesn’t change the definition or what other people may like😂
