[@xinyushi8867]

are you guys going to do a review of the new 2023 release? heard its better than 2020 but want to hear your opinions

[@Ilikebourbonalot]

I just picked up the 2023 version. Payed $145

[@johnrsmithson]

same. $135, $145 with tax.

[@herschelpatel8199]

Wow nice! What state? Great find and great price

[@brentjones1660]

@@johnrsmithson I got mine at 105

[@chrissprague5412]

I love our bottle, that toasted finish on the palette and aroma is amaizing.

[@bourbonapprentice]

Love their barrel strength rye, can’t imagine the toasted finish. Awesome.

[@BourbonJunkies]

It's pretty spectacular.

[@ffbarnette]

I wonder if things like this will ever stop being limited.

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Literally spit a Reign energy drink all over the place when you said the name of the damn whiskey. You made it reign.

[@kylesander6777]

I have been searching for this since I saw this video and just found one today for $80! Cheers boys

[@matthewmcnab322]

I wish I could find the toasted barrel strength, just not going to happen in California. But I did just pick up a midwinters night dream act 7, I'm excited about that. This is a great time of the year to find good whiskeys. Thanks for your review and channel...

[@pressman1788]

Great Review fellas! Always enjoy the content! Cheers!🥃👍🇺🇸

[@djbeacon1942]

Sounds like a great candidate for a blind battle of high priced ryes!! 😏 Cheers!

[@WhiskyInThe6]

This whiskey is ridiculously good. Possibly tied with JD Heritage as my favourite American whiskies.

[@jerryh7866]

Really enjoyed this review in the operating room - found this bottle at my local ABC - picking up Angel’s envy cast 2020 and the manager recommend the toasted rye - No regrets - Cheers -

[@LoudNinjasCG]

Part of me wants to make fun of Dan's tasting method, but iv'e been trying it since the rye shootout and I really, really dig it.

[@BourbonJunkies]

Now I have to delete this comment...

[@BourbonJunkies]

Too late! I've seen it! -Dan

[@markwood2452]

Just grabbed the single barrel toasted rye non-barrel proof. Freakin delicious. I’ve seen this vid a few times and would pay for the barrel proof no doubt. And Dan, your tasting technique is legit. Covers the full spectrum of flavors offered by the bourbon or the rye.

[@peterwhite507]

Down to 1/3 bottle but do have an unopened 2018 bottle bunkered. Really like it but can only have 1 pour as it is so rich and sweet. I don't think I will ever see another bottle either but did pick up a couple Barrel Strength Rye's at a decent price and they are close to this one for me. Cheers

[@taylorshuford9088]

I nearly had a heart attack at 1:21... don't do it to me Dan this is my unicorn!

[@fucious70]

Adding this to my bottle to hunt

[@whoryno]

Cheers!!!

[@BourbonJunkies]

Thanks a ton dude!

[@joshbucher3925]

I live here in Michigan and I just found that bottle and it’s now $250🤦🏻‍♂️

[@ryanparker4775]

Damn near 2.5k subs

[@BourbonJunkies]

Yea it went up crazy fast from the time we shot this.

[@jonmoore8916]

I need to find one of those!! I wonder if it makes it to Texas

[@joshpile6048]

Love everything Michters but I would like to see this and the parkers heavy char head to head to see what you all think.

[@BourbonJunkies]

You may be in luck! Stay tuned!

[@smackers3]

Hey, I just opened a willett rye from this year and it smells just like a dill pickle. Am I crazy? Does my nose not work? Not sure I've ever smelled that before...

[@smackers3]

4 year

[@BourbonJunkies]

@@smackers3 You sure it's not an old four year? The old four years were MGP which people get Dill on a lot!

[@brandon_sprague]

I get dill on Willett 4 Year for sure.

[@Nyquil614]

Hoping I can find it in ohio soon

[@jasonreynolds2254]

Technical question: I know bourbon has to be put into virgin barrels. Can the finishing barrels like the toasted ones used here be reused like the “Solera” aging process? Your comment about these toasted Michter’s products being the most wasteful ever got me thinking.

[@BourbonJunkies]

I'm not sure on the technicality of that one honestly. Finishing gets into some gray areas honestly.

[@bourbonsanta]

Is it really that much better than the regular barrel strength rye??

[@brandon_sprague]

In my opinion yes. Both are great. The toasted is just a superior product in almost every way to my palate at least

[@brandon_sprague]

"A" rating? I've seen Dan blind say this is trash. Granted that might have been after 10 barrel proof drinks and a blown out palate 😂😂

[@BourbonJunkies]

Nah he just can't be trusted

[@stephenfisanick8704]

I tried this today for the first time and I absolute love it!!

[@BourbonJunkies]

It's a fantastic pour

[@stephenfisanick8704]

Bourbon Junkies I’ll definitely be on the lookout for a bottle that’s for sure!!

[@davidhatton5180]

It’s hard not floppy finish? I’m leaving that alone.😂😂

[@sowlegwhiskyreview5501]

Don't die on camera - no matter the tasting method ;D

[@BourbonJunkies]

It won't be on camera when he does...

[@PalJoey-on1yi]

So much palaver, clowning, and fencing. Nothing gets through the blizzard of distractions. Friendly criticism. Try to stick to the point. We're not interested in personality, just the booze.

[@BourbonJunkies]

Then find a different channel. We aren't here for you if you aren't here for us. Pretty simple philosophy.

[@bretcolombo8903]

Palaver, clowning, fencing and a blizzard of distraction is why I keep coming back. Dry tasting notes with 0 personality is the doldrums of whiskey tube.

[@BourbonJunkies]

@@bretcolombo8903 we love you

[@stevenlharris]

Palaver? Get the f outta here with those fake words
