“If I opened this whiskey for retirement, Id go back to work and have a work accident.” 🤣😂😆
I really appreciate how you separate “bad” from “not my jam.” I think it’s an important distinction and you do it well!
I'm sure with all the bourbon hype going around, the distillers are using the $100 price tag as the new $50. They know before release that the product is not worth the money. We in the bourbon community have to stop feeding into the hype. Thanks for pointing out the barkers.
I dumped the castle and key batch 1 down the drain and tossed the bottle in the trash.
Your hatred for Rare Stash throughout the year has mad me laugh so hard! Unfortunately, at your expense! Happy New Year Porter!!
I'm sorry for your disappointments, Matt. However your review and comments on Rare Stash made me laugh out loud! Love you and your videos, Matt! Happy new year to you and yours!
What is even more disappointing is seeing you disappointed. You deserve the best you amazing human being. Happy New Year buddy!
This is the worst beating Porier has taken since Charley Olives beat his ass. 10/10. Incredible video Matt
Excellent video - thanks for a great list of potholes on the whiskey road!
Hey Matt keep doing what you do! I really like the humor in your reviews and your honesty..
Love you videos bud Allways a great watch. Hope you have a great 2023.
It was so fun thinking of all your reviews throughout the year and coming up with what I thought your bottom 8 would be before watching the video. Definitely nailed a few. Gotta love that Rare Stash!!! Cheers
Great video! Your rant on Rare Stash was hilarious and well done. Never have I laughed so hard watching a Whiskey Tuber! Well done!
Your Rare Stash take was my favorite LOL! love your stuff Matt. Keep it going!
This is my first visit to your channel. I find you hilarious! Well done - worth a sub!
BTW - sorry for your disappointments.
Laughed a ton at this. Thanks for saving me money on that trash. Cheers
Si, great content as always!
Happy 2023 Matt. Hoping 2023 whiskey tube is even better than 2022.
This video was a first for me because I have never seen a single bottle that you were holding in the entire video, I was dyeing laughing when you went off on the Rare Stash. OMG 🥃Cheers!
Just picked up both of those Smoke Wagon Rye bottles and haven't opened them yet - now I'm a little nervous :) Thanks for another great video and keep up the great work!
Your wardrobe person outdid themselves today! Very snazzy! Happy New Year!!
Keep up the great videos!!
Nice work doing the dirty work Matt! Thank you!
Looking sharp Whiskey King, yellow tie game on point!
This is the kind of video the people need! Subtle signs to buy less whiskey 😂
That Castle n Key would be my tops due to the hype.... everyone was so exiceted... waiting in the Tater hope to flip lines... then someone tasted one.... that's some Rare Trash.... Great Job Happies of 2023's to Everyone 🥳🥳
Love the rant on Rare Stash 👌
Very nice. Thank you.
Love the button-up + Tie... you look marvelous Mr. Porter! ;)
I love the SW Malted Rye but malted rye itself is a divisive flavor. The Rare Stash rant was great. It looked like you wanted to throw it against the wall. LOL! I'd like to have seen OKI Reserve Batch #1 on this list.
Made it for the premiere... frickin nailed it!
Wow Matt, all seriousness, your killing it! Looking great, slim and trim! The shirt and tie look great! Keep it up, you’re motivating me to actually start getting back in shape
The last one brought me back 55 years to the "talking to, dressing down" by my little league coach when l didn't want to relief pitch in the last inning when we were down 15-0.
You are my hero!! This made my night!!😂😂😂
Love your palate. Agree with all of these! (Except the Leadslinger, as I didn’t have that).
Thanks for keeping it real all year. Nothing worse then a garbage bottle wanting me go back to work. Lol. Cheers brother.
I love that you released your least favorite list before your best list this year.
This list needed one more. Did you forget what you bought at the local store? It sat on top of that cool fridge. I speak of….Breckinridge. (Okay…bad rhyme 😜) You know, the one you spit all over the garage. 😂
I never regret supporting my local store!
Yup. Good list. I haven’t tried all of these, but I agree about the ones I have tried…Thanks for your honesty.
The bit on going back to work to have an accident on purpose is hilarious 🤣. Great work as always.
Bummer you didn’t enjoy the Lost Monarch cask strength. My expectations were VERY high as well given my love for the regular release but I enjoy the cask strength too. I’ll happily take your backup bottle off your hands haha! Love the videos
Funny you mentioned the Calumet 8. I just revisited my bottle a couple days ago, and after being open for a couple years now, it’s way better than the first crack (cherry for dasaays). Give it a shot down the road. Thanks for being the BEST!
this is such a good or should I say bad list. Love that you ranked worst purchases. thanks for sharing. cheers.
So glad I did not purchase any of the bourbons on your list. I hope Calumet 16 is on your good list. I am glad I saw your review of the Calumet 8. I surely would have bought it I had not seen your review. The 14, 15 and 16 are some of my favorites.
I 100% agree regarding Castle & Key. Any batch. It’s average at best (and even that’s a stretch). At least the bottle looks pretty on my shelf. Which is good because it’s going to be there for a long time :/
2 (maybe 3 questions 🤔) what kentucky owl bourbon batch (and old carter batch) is next to the pheonix 2XO? and what purple top do I see lurking in the shadows of this rare stash video? Happy new year Matt!
my smokewagon uncut unfiltered was a disappointment as it was very thin for a whiskey that is uncut and unfiltered. I am learning that MGP may not be my jam.
Love the Rare Stash rant. So great.
This video made me fan of yours. Good job. Lol
OMG, the last 4 minute rant, I love you man.
I always look forward to MidWinter releases by High West….but this years was so sad. The last two years have been great spice bombs . Unfortunately that was not the case this year. I love a good port finish, but the port covered up everything rye in this year’s release. The spice was subtle, the nose was subtle, and the after palate was non-existent. Idk if they aged it for too long in the barrel or if they used high, age statement port barrels that result in much high residual sugar content but it was too wine-forward sweet. 🙁
Hahaha 😂 Rare Stash!!! OMG that was awesome! Thanks Pal!
Love the outfit, looking sharp
I would've done exactly what you did with the lost monarch, but enough videos pointed to it being the least exciting of the bunch. I grabbed the emerald giant instead. It really is fantastic.
Thank you Matt It's great to be the king of whiskey.
Totally expected you to slam the Rare Stash on the ground and smash it to bits during that rant lol 😂
I would love to find that smoke wagon malted rye. Got to sip on it one time and fell in love.
I love your videos so much, you did the opposite of disappoint me
Surprised about the CS Lost Monarch. As a fan of the regular version, the cask strength sounded like it would be amazing.
I thought it was a good pour
I’m going to go back to work and have a work accident 😂😂
Well played sir!
Beat down! That's a solid rant!
All hail the Whiskey King. Love the channel
Tell us how you really feel about Rare Stash. Ha! Love this review.
Agree 100% with the RW Lost Monarch CS. I can’t give that 💩 away. It doesn’t drink well neat or mixed 🤦♂️, it’ll be on my shelf a long, long time.
Hey Matt. Great list of bad whiskeys. You don’t have to remind us about 2020 WTWT just win it again in 2023!
My most disappointing purchase was Booker's lumber yard. I've never had Booker's and was excited to get the opportunity to buy and way overpaid. It wasn't anything special.
Also I have batch 3 of castle and key and it's pretty solid but definitely young.
And finally first time ever watching you. You cracked me up. Loved the video and subscribed which is rare after only watching a single video.
When you gonna try the newest batch of rare stash? Probably my favorite review of 2022 🤣
"nowhere near up my ass"..... spit out my drink laughing .... thanks! Hands down one of your best videos so far
You are the best whiskey Matt I know (not IRL). Keep on keep'n on.
Love the CMU colors, Fire Up
Would love to see if you can blend some of these together and come out with something better.
Agree on the Castle & Key. I was really hyped about their bourbon release. They've done an amazing job restoring that beautiful distillery, but the product was a disappointment.
Maybe on the Redwood Empire you revisit it after several weeks of being open. You can always add that to your review if your still finishing the video.
I feel the channel name change coming…The Whiskey King 👑
my local has a store pick Copper & Cask that's the same 51 rye 49 malt MGP. Cask strength, only 5 years, only paid $55. Was tasty enough.
Awe man, 2 Smoke Wagon's on your list. I really like their whiskeys. Well, I hope your wrong about the malted rye, I haven't cracked my bottle yet. I did open the BIB Rye recently, while it's not mind blowing, I did enjoy my first pour. Compared it too my bottle of RE Emerald Giant, which I like, but thought the first round of that battel went to the SW BIB Rye. Too each his own though. I constantly see people talking about what a great bargain Old Grand Dad BIB is. I tried it, and basically spit it out. lol. I ended up pouring the bottle down the drain after a few more tries. There was just something really off putting about it for me personally. When something isn't in your wheel house, it's hard to enjoy.
I'll be glad to take that castle and Key off your hands. Love the videos as always.
Porter in the house! How was your JD trip??
No disappointment for me, you saved me money! Lol Cheers and keep them good videos coming!
Love and appreciate your anger toward Rare Stash. Just went on their website. Have you looked at their tasting notes?!? They literally don't have a single flavor in their description. This is what it says you can expect to taste:
The initial taste experience is intense and satisfying, followed by a complex array of flavors that engulf the palate.
The finish is long-lasting, tantalizing, yet smooth, with the perfect balance of flavor characteristics and alcohol that will keep you coming back for more.

This has to be a joke right?
“I would go back to work and have a work accident… And when I got my hand reattached…” omg this cracked me up 🤣🤣
Dangggg Matt, is that a double-windsor knot?! Putting us to shame! Keep this up, you'll get that trackhawk before you know it!
Hey Matt! This was the best terrible list I've seen this year!
I really liked Lost Monarch so I bought the cask strength and was overly disappointed. Wish I had bought two bottles of the regular bottles……
I have been hoping to run across the redwood cask rye
I have never agreed with a list more!!!!!
UA-cam!! Why are you not notifying me the second that Matt drops a video? You use to!! What happened UA-cam? New year, new UA-cam? What the heck!
😂 I love these videos
😂😅 I just love to see you be brutally honest and tear the bad bottles apart. Makes me trust you more. You’re not looking to appease the distilleries, or who ever is bottling these Bourbons. Rare Stash BEWARE
Totally agree with the SW BiB Rye……I was so disappointed mostly because my expectations were so high. I love rye…..I love SW UCUF……sounded like a slam dunk……..but, no.
Looking forward to the positive!
Dude you are the friggin Robin Williams of bourbon tasting! I love your discussion of Rare Stash. Made me laugh which does not happen much. Funny shit.
You are genuinely very funny.
The only one from this list I have tried/bought is the Calumet 8 yr. I forget where but I saw a review of it several months ago saying it was a bit of a let down and should be in the $35-$45 range...well I found it for 40 and I do agree with the review. It's not excellent it's definitely not the worst I have had, but anything more than $40 I wouldn't buy it again.
Hell I wasn't exactly blown away by the Calumet 12 year either, good not great certainly not for a 12 year 🥃
I was also SO let down by Lost Monarch CS. Had made up my mind going in that I was going to buy three bottles from the CS series. Which three bottles? Well, three bottles of Lost Monarch obviously. So badly regret not getting just one of each now. What to do with two backups?
"so guess what... maybe I'll give that a try" lolol :D
New too, whisky stole over 6Gs and that’s on the low low end. Thank God no Wife to lie too. Just my accountant.🥃
Calumet Farms 16 year old; At least the batch I got. Acetone and airplane glue, even after oxidation. They must have aged it in plastic barrels. Horrible stuff
Rather then being upset about buying two bottles of Lost Monarch, could you just add water and proof them down to essentially make the lower proof version that you enjoy? Perhaps proofing it down a little and you'll like more then the standard version.
