The gangster vibe is strong. Gangster gave you the bottle. Gangster did the comparo. Julie Gangster Wheel of Gangster Confusion. We’re all gangsters in our own minds. Allegedly… 😅
I’m listening to this from Beaver Island, Michigan. A remote outpost very close to Matt’s homeland. Thus I get a very organic, well-rounded, oily, extra level of complexity, more mellowed out (if your eyes were your mouth) experience. I highly recommend it. Right now the island is populated by sailors from the Chicago-Mackinac sailing race and crunchies (granola-eaters) attending the Beaver Island Music Festival (BIMF). Fights might break out, but only amongst the mainly Irish OGs who populate this island. Which is normal. Fightin’ Irish ain’t a mascot, people. 🍀
Have to admit, big JD fan here. But I have Batch 1 and do not care for it. I get a very strong Sharpie note that is off putting. Maybe a tainted bottle because everyone else raves about these releases.
You're not alone. I had Batch 1 at a restaurant and was severely underwhelmed actually I didn't care for it much. I did buy JD10 and JD12 this year's batch and like the 10 much more. The only way I enjoy the 12 is with a lot of air time. Every whiskey that I have bought that wasn't good initially I started pouring way in advance and boy does it make a difference. I think some folks are just way more sensitive to some of the off putting notes in some whiskeys and a long time in the glass before I drink it helps me tremendously!
@@SRVandDtrouble good point. The next pour I have, I may leave it in the glass for 30 minutes or so. I really enjoy the JD10 but to me, it’s missing proof points. The 12 is better but has that one off putting note that ruins it. Hopefully this works so I can start sipping that one again.
Same here. JD is my favorite and the only time I tried the 12 was at a local whiskey bar. It wasn’t bad but came off as bitter and spicey to me that masked a lot of other flavor. I got a couple 10 year batch 2 and 3’s and prefer the 10 year B2 over the 12 B1. Just got a bottle of the 12 year B2. Hoping I enjoy it.
I LOVE the backround music!!!!!! Your the man Matt!!! Keep them coming!!!! Music is a GO!!!!💪🥳
The ominous music scares me
It’s part of the gangster theme…
Digging the music, love the content brother
You ALWAYS scare the bajeezus out of me when you use the Julie Like Wheel of Confusion. But I know you're a professional.
If bowling was easy, everyone would be pros, lol. Killer hammer shirt, been using hammer for years now. Great review.
God bless.

Hope to find a bottle one day 😊. Enjoying your videos. Cheers 🍻
Beaujolais (which is red) can have a banana note. Maybe the "red wine" note you get is a Beaujolais wine note which is also banana :P
Great review
Keep these coming!
Matt! Back to the roots! Where you been?!
I still see a couple of Batch 1 bottles on the shelf for $500. I'd rather have 2 Mich10's or 12 ER10's... Still a great video, thanks WTWT!
That's insane. Yet we're supposedly in some bourbon market crash? Yeah, no definitely not yet with that happening.
Got a Batch 1 for $85.99 plus tax two weeks ago.
Nicely done! This is confirmation of my impression as well. Love them both but batch 1 is superior. Bought a backup of B1 😬
Still can't find it for under $300. So around me that's 900 bucks in three bottles.
Nice! Loved batch one. First pour of batch 2 I enjoyed but not as impressed. Blinded them and 2 won out. Deb liked 1 better. Both are great!!!
Why do we park on a driveway, and drive on a parkway? Cheers!

Agree 100%
Well I never got to try batch 1, but I thank my lucky stars that I was able to get batch 2 at just a little above MSRP
Here is another question...Why is it that we drive on a Parkway and park in a driveway?
What is that song, Matt? Stuck in my head now, and can’t recall where else I heard that catchy tune…
WHISKEY CHEERS 😎
Agreed on all counts. JD12 B1 >>> B2.

I've only once had a banana note from a Jack Daniel's product, which is odd because to me, a Hefeweizen has a distinct and overpowering banana flavor.
Wanna try this so bad, but hard to find around here..
Both are great, but batch 1 reigns supreme!
12 B1 ❤

Comments are getting invaded by big breasted bots wtf...
😂🤷♂️
JD10 B2 vs B3. My bet on your mouth? B3.
