I love your list. Its different and understandable. I would have a different list, but I respect yours. I love EC B524 as well. I happen to really like the Parkers. It tasted like YooHoo and Whoppers malt balls imo. Cheers
Love that the 8 year 70th anniversary Wild Turkey was in your top 10. It was the best value of the year (green river full proof 1b for me as well). My bourbon group picked up 4 of the wild turkey to make sure we had some for 2025. Cheers and great review.
Appreciate the kind words, William! Agree with you on those being the best values of 2024! Cheers and enjoy! ua-cam.com/users/shortsUBerLBUSY_c?si=iBuMCGmgdmU5gSoi
Nice! I met Mr. Russell at a fancy distributor event. He's a legend and such a great guy. Lots of distributor reps and suits there. Me and a buddy were seated alone chowing down on a great buffet. He asked if he could sit with us 😊. Later after talking for a while i asked him to autograph a Rarebreed giftset bottle, which he did. He also took us to the bar and took a nice wooden Wild Turkey mirtor off the wall and signed it for me. Sadly the bottle was emptied and the cork broke but I stll have that beautiful mirror🤗
Nice list! Surprised nothing from Sagamore Spirits made your list. If you haven't tried them before, I suggest their 9 Year Rye ---- its EXCELLENT! I was lucky to get a bottle of the Penelope and while I wouldn't put it 3rd on my list, I do agree that its the best bottle they have ever released! I just subscribed, so I'm looking forward to your 2025 content. Cheers!
Cheers, Thomas! Thanks for the sub! I love Sagamore’s Double Oak Rye! So good! I didn’t try anything that was a new release from Sagamore in 2024! Cheers and have a great x weekend!
Nice lineup! I’m really enjoying my Russell’s 15yr, Michters 10yr bourbon, Booker’s Reserves, J Daniels Coy Hill, Michters BS Rye, Little Book Infinite, Larceny BP C924, Barrell Ice Wine finish, Stagg 24b, Presidential Dram 8yr, and many others:) Cheers!
Would like to second that on checking out the Augusta video, it's really well done. If you are reading this comment, go watch that video when this one is over!
Thanks Mary! I didn’t film a review of it, but I did rate it and review it on my own. Finished tied at 20 with a score of 8.1. Nose: 1.7 Flavor: 1.6 Mouthfeel: 1.7 Finish: 1.4 Value: 1.7
When someone spends 50 thousand plus for a sports car most say no big deal, but if they spend $300 for a whiskey what a huge waste of money- our culture is often without logic. I always spend $22 to $37 for whiskey but see why someone else is free to spend more, their money not mine. Our daughter went to a high end bar recently and saw someone order a flight of a few Blantons samples for $150, not my choice but they were happy with the quality and price. If you are in the Frankfort Kentucky area, maybe check out the J Mattingly and Glenn's Creek bourbons, you can do tastings there to help decide which ones if any you buy whole bottles of. My 4 rebuys now are 100 proof Old Grand-Dad, 100 proof Early Times, 100 proof Coopers' Craft, and 90 proof Bernheim Original Wheat Whiskey.
Hey Burt! Looks like that is an exclusive for Albertsons/Jewel Osco. Just like Flatboat is for Liquor Barn and Clark & Sheffield is for Binny’s, Kirkland BiB at Costco, ETC. Just be similar to 1792 Small Batch is my guess.
@@davidscialabba6884 it is VERY good as well. Depends on if you can afford it. Since they are all single barrels they vary greatly. But the ones I have had are very good. I pretty the Old Route 8 (115 price 🏷️) to the Buckner’s 10 but not by much
lets pray they fix the system. i hate va abc too, and it's where i'm at. i DID get lucky twice this year though, once before they switched the system, the last announced random drop they did i picked up 2 RR15 (though at the time i couldnt afford both, so one was for a friend), and i was able to snatch 3 coy hill's (because my wife was with me, and her friend, yay christmas presents lol). so there's some hope, but with all these people creating discords and using insider info, it's extremely unlikely. i only knew about a drop where i got coy hill cause i was IN the store when they were putting it on the shelf, complete dumb luck
@ ooooh 3 Coy hills?! That’s awesome! I have yet to see one by me. I know the struggles of ABC… I was in Huntsville, AL for 5 years and they never got Anything. Cheers 👊🏽🥃
For perspective, Kentucky Bourbon Festival had around 250+ different whiskeys. Not that u tried them all. But within the 4 days I probably sampled 75-80 different quarter ounce pours

Not a weller or BTAC in sight. Great top 20.
Cheers Kyle! Appreciate you 👊🏽🥃
Have a skyline cheese coney for me!
Will do! Cheers! 🥃
The middle west is next on my radar to get. Heard so many good things about their rye.
It’s FANTASTIC! I am hoping to do a pick with them this year because of it!
Nice lineup! I’m really enjoying my Russell’s 15yr, Michters 10yr bourbon, Booker’s Reserves, J Daniels Coy Hill, Michters BS Rye, Little Book Infinite, Larceny BP C924, Barrell Ice Wine finish, Stagg 24b, Presidential Dram 8yr, and many others:) Cheers!

Welcome!
My favorite bottle was a Brewzle pick. It was an Old Soul they called "Hen Type". I wish I had more. It was sooooo good.
Interesting! I haven’t had old soul yet!
Tin type not hen type
Great list and bottles. I have the same number 1 for 2024. I have loved everything that I have tried from Journeyman Distillery.
Thanks Kyle! Cheers Brother! Agreed. Love all the Journeyman I have!
The 3rd digit of the Michter's 10 is probably a letter? Maybe a 'g' or 's' as opposed to a 5.
That would signify which batch of the year it is.
@@BigShay1977 thanks for the help/tip my man! I just looked again and it’s hard to tell… looks like either a lowercase g or a B
Yeah, that font is not ideal. Sometimes it's hard to make out.

Would love to see a review of a new bottle that came out I just bought. Common Law Bottled in Bond out of 1792 Bardstown KY. $25.00

Surprised Larrikin wasn’t on your list after being so high on reviews.
@@kyleschroder4400 it just missed the top 20! I was surprised as well
Any idea where to find the Middlewest cask strength rye?
Not sure where you’re located, but I know OHLQ stores in Ohio have them listed as available
@@whiskey_weatherThanks. I’m in Northern California. I’ll see if I can find it.
@ if not, let me know. Happy to assist in the search.
Just like what Justified did to Elmer T. Lee, I think Billions did to Michters.
Has anyone had the buckners 10 year?...is it worth the $150 price tag?
@@davidscialabba6884 it is VERY good as well. Depends on if you can afford it. Since they are all single barrels they vary greatly. But the ones I have had are very good. I pretty the Old Route 8 (115 price 🏷️) to the Buckner’s 10 but not by much
@@whiskey_weather thanks for the info....love the channel👍
They have that middle west bourbon closeby...just checked out OHLQ...going to grab that one this week....lol
I came across more RR15 then WA107.. why ?😭😭 .
Wow that’s awesome! Did you grab it??
I thank your liver for its service!!😂
Bahaha 🤣 cheers!
Have you ever tadted a bourbon youd rate as 10? 9.9?
I’m sure I have, but have yet to score one that. If the RR15 was about $50 cheaper it would have been really close
Where can someone buy a RR15 for $250? I never see them.
Got one at $230 at my Costco, and 259.99 at my Kroger. Another at 290 in Louisville from a buddy
@@whiskey_weatherthanks! Unfortunately Kroger and Costco do not sell hard alcohol in TN. Keep the great content coming, always enjoy your videos.
Thanks; Scott! Cheers my man! 👊🏽
np finding RR15.....
big problem justifying $450 - $500.
@@Subourbon yeaaah no thanks on that pricing! But at MSRP I will buy it again and again
Not putting coyhill in this lineup is insane
Didn’t try it, so I can’t rate it: sorry for the disappointment Collin 🤷🏻♂️ you’re welcome to send a sample 😉
I’ll probably never see these bottles bc VA ABC sucks
Ahhh that’s a bummer 😔
So does Alabama’s

@@toddtipton2857 facts!
How did you go about tasting hundreds of bourbons in 2024. So you get that many samples? In any case that is a lot of bourbon.
Festivals, visiting distilleries, getting samples in the mail from distilleries, bottle shares, etc
For perspective, Kentucky Bourbon Festival had around 250+ different whiskeys. Not that u tried them all. But within the 4 days I probably sampled 75-80 different quarter ounce pours
I should not have made that comment. I am sorry.
Thank you for the apology, Tom. Cheers! 👊🏽
wt 70th is $100 here in ny....wont be buying one...
Oh wow… that’s ridiculous. They aren’t even that on secondary around here. Only 85-90
a white guy recruiting for stormfront on UA-cam.. in 2024? brave strategy XD
To rich for my wallet
Then look for a bottle like the Wild Turkey 70th or Green River Full Proof
@@whiskey_weather WT 70th is NOWHERE to be found these days. Fair point on the Green River
@ some markets it’s easier to find than others. GRFP should be everywhere. Cheers 🥃
I have no idea how you can call many of these value’s compared to others. You need to rethink your value calculation.
Appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching, happy new year, cheers Jack
