It's a good pour for sure...I was skeptical at first but turns out to be not too shabby.
I believe the proprietor of BB embarked on his bourbon venture after some consultation with some MacCallan (yes scotch) connections.
I'm so glad you reviewed this. My local liquor store got a few cases of this and was talking it up but it came out of left field considering I've never heard of it so I'm glad your review aligned with my suspicions
I would definitely rank Dexter the series above Dexter the bourbon. I prefer serial killers to cereal killers….
The bourbon is actually really good. My brother bought a bottle, n on the first crack it was so bad. Absolutely horrible. We poured oir glasses out and talked so much shit about it. Few months later he went back to it, text me it opened up and was pretty good. I laughed at him. Next time i went up he had a pour waitin for me n didnt tell me what it was, it was amazing, and it was dexter. We put it in a couple blinds w some really good bottles and its either won or come in the top couple, i dont remember what bottles it beat, but i remember they were really good bottles and i was blown away it beat them. Im actually pretty surprised he ranked it that high on a new bottle/neck pour considering how bad it was for us at first
Nice to see a review on this one. I was super curious to try it given the "200yr oaked" thing (I love heavier oaked offerings like 13+ KC picks, Sam Houston/Calumet ultra-aged, etc). Was glad I tried it but would have preferred I tried a pour from someone else's bottle rather than buying one.
Hi Matt, hope you are healing fabulously!
Been there, they use MGP juice. They do all the wood finishing on site. The owner is a really nice guy. He was a big wig at P&G
Last I checked MGP wasn't in Ohio. Hmm....hello, TTB?
very interesting. I am surprised. but now kinda wanna try. cheers
I’m glad you finally reviewed this thing, too many pass by’s in the aisle for me, without knowing what to do
A 3 wood and a bowling shoe…love it Mattman 😂
So glad to see you review this. I recently enjoyed Dexter. I bought it for $40 and enjoy it's uniqueness.
If seen that botta few times. The marketing on the neck tag definitely tried to artificially hype up the bottle. I'm glad to finally know a little about what the actual whiskey is like. Thanks Matt!
I have a bottle of this that I haven't opened yet and quite honestly forgot about until I watched this... now I need to go open it for myslef
Hey, nice to see you here. Im justin, we traded samples of rare character. As for the dexter, you may not like it on the first crack/neck pour. My brother got it about a year ago, and when we first tried it, it was the absolute worst thing we ever tasted. We talked so much shit about it. Couple months later he went back to it and text me how good it was after it opened up. I thought he was breaking my balls. We put it in a couple blinds and actually beat some pretty good bottles. Definitely needs to open up, but ones it does, it changes a lot and is actually a really good bottle. If i were to buy a bottle, id seriously pour out a couple oz leave it open for a day or two, then go back to it in a month-couple months. But give it a shot, just dont be surprised if you dont like it at first, then be shocked how much it changes when you go back to it after shelfing it for awhile. Cheers!
i bought this a last year in NH For $50... it is actually not terrible and opens up really nicely. I wouldn't call it a dud by any means. But wouldn't buy it again. Whoever at the Ultimate Spirits Competition decided it was top 12 in the WORLD did so during the pandemic (2020) and clearly didn't have a lot of competition... because the world was shut down
Im one of the top 12 handsomeist guy in Western Pa...see, I can make false claims, too.
I can attest that you are as handsome as Edmund Dexter might have been.
😂
I found this bugger ar Party Source last May. Everyone on the trip bought one, and lucky for me, it's at the back of one of my shelves, so i dont have to see and drink it every day.
I have a question, is the Kentucky Owl batch 9 still in your top 10 of all time? Curious cause I am trying to collect all 12 bottles of KO or batch 1-12. Or do you only have a Top 5 of all time ?
Thank you for the videos your do a great job!
Yes, Matt, do a blind n' bash of Dexter.
That was an eye opener. All about profit and a bit gimmicky
Its actually really good. When my brother bought it a year ago, it on first crack/neck pour it was absolutely disgusting. Worst thing we ever drank, and talked so much trash about it. He went back to it a few months later and text me how good it was after it opened up, i thought he was breaking my balls. Next time i went up, he put it in a blind and it beat out some pretty good bottles. Its actually won or come out in the top 2 in a couple-few blinds against some pretty good bottles. We were completely shocked how much it changed and how good it became after opening up
This is all over Colorado for some reason. Comes in a wheater too
Lukas has a store pick that is pretty solid
Same finishing on the wheater or was it a different blend?
@@slvrbachpretty sure same finish on the wheater. Believe they also have a rye with the same finish. They arent as good as the bourbon.

I bought a Liquor Barn pick of Dexter and really liked it for the $45. It was marked down.
As a Cincinnati native, born and raised. I've never heard of the top 12 whiskey lol must be awesome! Lol
I don't know about Dexter, but Dexter's Lab fcking rocked!

Grabbed a bottle of this a couple years ago just out of curiosity. It's decent, but there are much better options for less than $60.
I might be mistaken, but bourbon isn't worldwide, it's really only American.
The Ultimate Spirit Challenge Team gave Dexter Three Wood a rating of 95 points, their highest recommendation, & selected it as “One of the 12 Best Bourbons in the World.“ Probably gives them the right to put top 12 on the tag the same way you claim top whiskey taster from one tasting contest. I bet if you contacted them they would have loved to talk with you about their product and process. I had them make a whiskey for me and it states that it was distilled in Indiana, finished and bottled by Brain Brew. It also states on the bottle they have craft distilleries at Eureka Ranch just east of Cincinnati and in Windsor England. My grain Bill was 74 corn 21 rye 5 barley with 12 % US oak 13%200yr,25% cherry 25% Euro oak and 25%Maple. All of that on the bottle.
But was your MGP blend any good??
@@slvrbach It was okay. Mostly bcause I was able to do some of the mash bill selecting and choose finishing woods. I probably didn't do a great job, but my bottle is almost finished. It was a fun experience and I have a cool bottle that I named and helped create for average whiskey prices of today. I got it when I was newer to whiskey and learning everything I can from ADHD whiskey vids. I would do it again, but try it another way. Bought much worse whiskey from huge brands. Ancient Age my least favorite of all time.
Dexter and brain brew are an interesting situation… lots about it and their sister brand Noble Oak are super sketchy and not very transparent on the labels/ website. If they’re using the same distillate as Noble Oak- I can confirm it’s gotta be a Ross & Squibb/ MGP distillate they’re just repackaging and almost trying to relabel as they did the work. Noble Oak does state distilled in Indiana.
I wouldn't call it super sketchy. They have great tours, and they are all about the wood finishing process. Great tours. But until fairly recently you had to get a bottle in Cincinnati. They likely are struggling with broader distribution. I'll be in Cincy for the eclipse, and I will specifically stop by Brain Brew.
@@blakestahsketchy is maybe far, but I do think personally its sketchy the lack of info or clarity they really provide, unless you go down the rabbit hole on them to figure stuff out and find it. To me- not stating where the distillate is from is non transparent and sketchy. Like the Junkies say- I don’t care if they’re making the whiskey or not, just be transparent on everything going on, instead of forcing me to go down a rabbit hole to find everything. That’s why I call it sketchy. It’s average bourbon for the price, just be more transparent! Especially when you’re charging $50-60+
@@andykleschick2047 I get it for $52 when my friend from Cincy goes back. It is a VERY VERY competitive $52 wood finished bourbon - comparisons could be drawn to OF 1910 and WR double oaked at similar prices. It doesn't taste exactly like those, but hints of the wood finishing process are similar, laid over on that high rye Ross and Squib distillate.
@@blakestah oh I’ve tasted it and it’s not bad for the ~$50 price here a bottle in the Cincy market I agree. Just at least say state of distillation and that you’re finishing it too. For that price or higher, I just want more detailed info on the brand and what they’re doing and if they’re doing the work or not- because otherwise I’d rather just go for 1910 or double oaked where I pretty much guaranteed know it’s them making it and has consistent known history
@@andykleschick2047 So, do you know, for example, that WR double oaked is about 70% distilled at Old Forester and then blended with the residual distillate from the pot stills at Woodford? Is that written on the bottle anywhere? It is the same parent company, but completely non-transparent.
Im actually kinda surprised how high it scored from the neck pour. My brother bought a bottle about a year ago, and on the first crack it was so bad. Absolutely horrible. We poured out our glasses and talked so much shit about it for weeks. Few months later he went back to it, text me it opened up and was pretty good. I laughed at him. Next time i went up he had a pour waitin for me n didnt tell me what it was, it was amazing, and it was dexter. We put it in a couple blinds w some really good bottles and its either won or come in the top couple, i dont remember what bottles it beat, but i remember they were really good bottles and i was blown away it beat them. Id really like to see you do this review again in a couple-few months after its had awhile to open up.
I have had pretty much the same experience. Got talked into buying it on a KY trip last year and was excited to try it. We opened it that night and it was super sharp, with a magic marker taste up front. Went back to it a few weeks ago just to see, and it was way different, almost none of the marker note, opened up to nice dark fruits and a nice rye baking spice. You can tell the wood finishing made this one different though. Some may like it, others may not.
@@darthsteve3145 yup. Had so much funk in the first crack/neck pour, but really opened up quite well. Would totally agree the woodfinishing plays a part in both. But it really is a nice pour once it opens up
The 36% rye bourbon is a giveaway - it is a standard high rye Ross and Squib bourbon. Indiana distillation. It tastes just like the other Ross and Squib bourbons (like Remus Straight Bourbon) with the same distillate except the wood finish. The guys at Brain Brew are legit scientists who play with wood finishing - you should visit them sometime and see it in action. It's just a 4 year old 36% rye bourbon distilled by Ross and Squib. These guys add the wood finishing. This is a really good $50 value. So, if you are interested in a nice 4 year old bourbon with an exceptional wood finish, I would seek this out.
I wonder if they mean that MGP makes one of the top bourbons in the world, and Dexter is MPG, so...QED? 🤣
@@eafarrar The product comes from the process at Brain Brew in Cincinnati, and is locally very popular and well known. They have little national profile so far. Matt did a quite reasonable assessment of its taste, but could have done his homework better on Brain Brew, and what they do in Cincy.
@@blakestah It sounds like the producers wanted to obfuscate what was in the bottle. If a very informed reviewer still wasn't exactly sure what he bought after some research, then the average consumer surely wouldn't be. (If anything, it seems like the label might not even be adhering to labeling laws...?)
I can't think of an instance in which a producer lost out by putting *too much* information on the label (or at least their website). I don't understand why some continue with the smoke and mirrors.
Also, they're just lying about it being one of the twelve best of anything. So I'm not sure how one justifies that. Shady.
Like all of my reviews, the information on the bottle is what gets the attention. The only reason I searched for their trademarked wood finishing process was because I was curious as to what was so proprietary about it.
If they wanted the consumer to know all about the cool stuff they were doing in Cincinnati, a great place to mention it would be on the back label....or neck tag even. "Learn more about what makes our whiskey special at "insert website." Instead, they took the "Top 12 Bourbon in the World" route. 🤷♂️
Revisit it after a little while. I've found that stuff with cherry wood tastes fine when it's freshly cracked, but once it gets some oxygen exposure, it starts tasting like poop.
And you know what poop tastes like because..... 😉
My brother and i actually had the exact opposite experience with this bottle. Its actually really good. When my brother bought it a year ago, it on first crack/neck pour it was absolutely disgusting. Worst thing we ever drank, and talked so much trash about it. He went back to it a few months later and text me how good it was after it opened up, i thought he was breaking my balls.

This one has been on the shelves up here in NH for quite a while and I've always passed on it due to the confusion brought up by the label. Arent these the guys who did the burger king bourbon?

It's not a bad value for $45 but I thought the wood was overdone causing this to be slightly bitter. One local store refused to sell this, while the other store sold cases. Obviously somebody liked it, but I passed and bought a Henry McKenna instead.

Not a Top 12 Bourbon but you are the Top 1 Whiskey Reviewer Matt
If that’s number 12, I’d love to know what they consider to be 1-11 bourbons in the world.
@Dexter…we need the list!!!!
... But what is up with the Black Widow bowling ball back there?
I love bowling 🤷♂️
@@ADHDWhiskey And so do I. A have a couple Widows. A few years into Bourbon. A lifetime into bowling.
It cannot be a top bourbon of the world.....ITS NOT BOURBON. All of the product from these guys is Class 641 Whiskey Specialties as listed with the TTB. So tired of shady marketing (looking at you as well Makers Mark 46)
Thanks for the great vid.

@@jacksmith2315 yeah, it's flavored.....what would stagg taste like if turned into a 641 class?
Every bourbon should be no more then 50.00 per bottle. Any more than that, it should come with a reach around
Straight means a minimum of “two” years, not “four” years as stated in the video. However, bottled in bond must be aged at least four years, so it was probably just a slip.
If it is Straight Bourbon AND under 4 years old, the age must be stated on the label. That means if it says Straight and has no age statement, by law, it must be a minimum of 4 years old.
Matt spent more times talking about the company than the whiskey. 😂
Dexter Threewood? Barely know her Threewood.
Didn’t say what part of the world this is considered a top 12 whiskey. Perhaps the Fiji Islands imports this stuff like we import their water.
Dexter, like Game of Thrones, is great... if you don't watch the last two seasons...
I think this is a decent pour. Definitely not a top twelve whiskey though.
Woo hoo❤
The description of the wood that you Read is a Red flag. Gross! Sounds like drinking furniture.
Their marketing is super corny and detrimental. That said, Dexter is solid.
That was a whole lot of bullshit you read before tasting. Your docile tones were the only reason not to skip ahead. Cheers, Matt. Hope everything is going well with your teeth stuff

Funny, it says World and not USA... you know, since it has to be MADE HERE!
I bought this bottle about a year ago on the recommendation from the liquor store and was disappointed. I can't say horribly disappointed, but definitely disappointed.
My brother and i thought it was horrible when he first opened it/neck pour. We dumped out the pours and talked sko much trash about it. Couple-few months later, it was actually really good. Absolutely shocked how much it changed when it sat and opened up for a while. It actually was winning blinds for us vs some pretty good bottles.
When you have to read from the bottles and your phone about the bottles that you are reviewing, it means you're not prepared. C'mon Matt, you're better than that.
I ONLY read from the bottles in all of my reviews. If there is more of a story to tell, then they should point the consumer in the right direction. It's how I've always done it, and that will not change.
Yeah, Matt always reads from the label. Often to point out the absurdity of things on the label.

Doesnt “straight” intend a TWO year age, while “bottled in bond” requires a four year age statement?
If it's straight and under 4 years it has to have an age statement, so 'straight' + no age statement = 4 years +
Joel is correct....which is exactly what I said, lol
