Thanks for watching! From what I have experienced these are some of the most accessible limited edition bottles every year. But obviously it can vary a lot by state/location and they are still limited for sure. Hope you are able to find them! Cheers.
First off , I thought I had subbed many months ago , but had not ..... In any case great review . Also had forgotten that you are a fellow Kentuckian . Cheers my friend 🥃
Thanks! Glad to have you officially subbed haha. And yep, while I only moved out here about 2 years ago I'm glad to be in KY as I continue to explore bourbon! Cheers.
that is awesome, i wish virginia would do that, our state abc has that bottle on allocation and you are limited to 1 bottle on drop day. if i see them both, im only able to buy 1 for that day, and that means i miss out on the eagle rare or blantons that might be there as well. that being said, i was only able to get the brt 01 because the 02 was already sold out by the time i got there.
Yeah the Whiskey Drop program is great. I'm super thankful it's in KY but I think they also plan to expand it. And while KY is great for lots of bourbon, it's also just kind of a madhouse free-for-all and you have to know the right people to get good stuff. Still, state controlled systems are much more restrictive. I'm glad you got the BRT-01. If you've tried it yet, let me know what you think! Thanks for watching and cheers!
Definitely goin to keep my eye out for BRT02 . I’d be really excited to see how that bottle opens up. I can imagine those darker notes come out a lot more as it opens up
Yep, definitely worth it to get it shipped to your door. Sorry it's not available for you, but hopefully they expand it over time. In the meantime, hope you're able to get your hands on these in the wild! Cheers.
Thanks! And yes, FAE-01 and FAE-02 were the Wood Finishing Series Releases from last year (2021). They are not a part of the Maker's core lineup, so unfortunately they were only being sold last year (unless you find a store with some still on the shelves or go to the distillery where they might have some). Same goes for these bottles. They'll only be available for a limited time. Hope that clarifies things. Cheers!
Both are very good! I think I’m leaning toward the BRT-02 personally but really enjoy each. Hope you are able to pick some up! Let me know if you do. Cheers!
I’m so jealous. The whiskey drop was sold out and I got on the waiting list but wasn’t able to score this drop. I will be hunting both. I thing that the MM wood finishing series is the most underrated yearly release out there!!
Totally agree these are so underrated! Sorry it was sold out for you, but hopefully it won't be too much trouble to track these down in the wild. Hope you find them both. Cheers!!
@@thebourbonhutch9574 I was able to find both locally today. I got lucky because in my area all the local stores pretty much sold out by end of the day.
Along with Knob Creek 12 , the Wood Finishing Series is the only bourbon I will spend more than $50 for. Never disappointed! Looking forward to a comparison and your opinion. Now that they are out, looks like a trip over to Loretto is in order.
Sorry about that. It’s pretty limited right now. But good news is these can be relatively findable in stores so hopefully you’ll see them around soon!! Cheers.
The chances of getting these bottles are slim to none. Glad you got your hands in these and cheers!

I got both in PA. They had several cases of each at my store

Yep, for me I'm leaning more toward the BRT-02 as my favorite. Those chocolate and coffee notes really shine. Hope you find it and cheers!
First review of these. Congrats.
Thanks! I'm lucky to be able to get them shipped right to me. And wanted to get some info out on them before people decide to buy or not. Cheers!!
wow that is so cool delivered to your door. Worth the premium cost. Unfortunately not in my state of Texas. Thanks for sharing. cheers.

I got both of these. Haven’t opened them yet. I’ve got a few private selections to go through first.
When you do open them you're in for a treat! Hope you like them as much as I do. Cheers!
Can't wait to get these.
They're really good, but definitely best to try as a pair. Hope you find them and enjoy them! Cheers.
@@thebourbonhutch9574 usually Costco has them for $50. When they drop you have to grab them.
Nice being one of the first to review them. Do you know if these replace the FAE's?

These both sound great. Hopefully I can find some

I scooped up the BRT02 yesterday, but no luck finding the BRT01...
Hope you enjoy the BRT-02 as much as I do. And hope you find the BRT-01 soon so you can compare. Cheers!

Have you compared them to FAE-02? I see you have one behind you in the video. Great video! Can't wait to get them!
Thanks! Hope you're able to get them soon. And I have both FAE-01 and 02 so definitely planning to blind all four in a video soon... cheers!

They don’t ship to chicago yet 😢

I was underwhelmed by the BRT-01 which was disappointing as I love most things from them.
Interesting, yeah it's definitely not my favorite of the two. Still good, but the 02 is more my speed for sure. Cheers!
@@thebourbonhutch9574 So it's actually gotten markedly better since I opened it. I am now a fan lol!
