Yes they have! AND they are a pro trans company! I love JD and am so glad they can be a part of the LGBTQAI+ community, thank you for your participation and support! 🌈
Brother Dan approves! A buddy picked up a bottle of JD 12 for $199. I’d do it again! It goes to my top shelf for sure. Thanks Sean and Dan for a great review!
I have tried 10 and 12 in the bar also and both were $10-$12 for a double pour. I got multiple glasses and it was so good. I wish I could find bottles on the shelves.
Off topic, but PLEASEEEEE taste some Strahahans!!! Preferably diamond peak, but they all work. The flavor is always there and would love to see your reaction! It’s a hidden gem.
Pissed I can't get this in Ohio yet. How do you guys decide who gets to keep the bottle when you only get one? Do you have a rule that you can only drink it together?
This is yet another product that will only be seen in museums with the price jacked way up. If I get lucky and stumble upon it for a good price, I won't argue with good fortune, but I won't expend a lot of effort or excessive amounts of money for anything. Hopefully stocks of the older expressions of Jack Daniel's will increase with each annual release and they will be easier to get in the future. Until then, I'll find other things to drink.
I do love the SBBP but this honestly is about perfect for us. 107 proof has all the complexity without all the bite that some of the barrel proofs get to
Got one for 85 bucks at an ABC drop! I missed a Stag and was pissed, until I tried it. Insane release. My freind got the 10, and it's good but not even close to the 12 level.
One or more of the Tennessee Taster's series (like the High Angel's Share) were 107 but I think they were only released in TN. I got really lucky and was able to get a bottle of the 10yr this year but not the 12yr sadly.
I got SBBP and realized I'm just not a jack profile guy. The banana is cool but it just had an artificial plasticky mid palate that I can't get into. Cool bottles though
Only time I've seen this they were charging $300. And I live in TN. You'd think if I lived in this damn state I could at least find Jack more often and at a decent price.
Speaking of 12 year age statements, what are your thoughts on Heaven Hill going to various age statements on future ECBP releases instead of the 12 year? Would love to see an entire episode on the topic.
The needle moves in certain circles. About a county radius in Michigan. The entire community of vampires-at night only. Guys with zero hands-the guys never picked for the “hands team” in football. So let’s be more clear. 😊
Yes it’s undoubtedly the best I’ve had. I consider myself a novice bourbon drinker but damn, the search is over. Absolutely what I imagine a fine bourbon should taste like.
I got one of these from my local hookup and teared up a little when I tasted it. It’s just amazing. Some real Sus Shops around me trying to sell this for 4 Hundo. Not going that high but you NEED this…
I appreciate you not doing a review of this based on media samples. Every review I've seen up to this one was just media samples. Starts to feel like a JD marketing campaign instead of a review of a whiskey that might actually be available on the shelf somewhere. Also, I have yet to see this on a shelf anywhere lol.
Local So Cal is 3 bills for the 12 year and the only place I've ever seen Coyhill wants a grand! FOR A BOTTLE OF JD!!!! I need to get my arse outta Cali cuz even with this crummy economy, the whisky hunt is straight up ridiculously expensive. I gotta stop watching these reviews cuz there is no way I'm ever gonna be able to get a bottle and you guys make me want to get my hands on even a sample of it.
I dont doubt this one is amazing but i just ditched a bottle of Blue Run to recoup the cash due to its high hype, low performance. Im gonna have trust issues for years after that one. 😂 Blue Run=All Hype and regret. 🤷
Nothing against JD but I personally think there are so many better and more interesting Whisk(e)ys out there, its good with coke but is way too sweet for me
@@LeatherDaddy97 the standard Jack in particular, the 12 is far better but I still find it slightly lacking somehow. ..good for a session but lacking the complexity of some others. I am still looking for that one, truly magical Bourbon style Whiskey and I don't rule out JD in my search. With most of my favourite whisky's I wouldn't consider mixing with coke but just for e personally that tends to be the only way to drink Jack, even the 12...it's a good thing that we don't all like the same whisky though, it means there are so many more choices, styles and flavours out there to enjoy
This is such a great release. I get a bit of that King of Kentucky burnt molasses/ tar in the back of the nose as well as banana and cherry. The 107 proof maintains the mouthfeel and intensity of flavor without overwhelming. If you put this in a OFBB bottle, people would be tripping over each other trying to get a bottle and would be paying $900.
I got this on Saturday on a drop in VA. Everyone was scooping up Blanton's ahead of me. I was locked into this JD12 and of course got it as MSRP here in VA. First try seemed a bit heavy on rubber cement for me. Definitely going back after I let it breathe a tad.
Agreed. In my neck of the woods this isn’t getting super reviews. Better than good reviews? Yes. But I know of a dozen of us that just feel it’s good but not worth hunting down. Coy Hill on the other hand is a god to me
I was lucky enough to get a Blatons. But had to travel outside of my range to get a bottle from a drop that happened on Sunday. I did see the Jack Daniels....A month ago, I was searching hard for the 10 year or 12 year...now, since JD has decided to join that LGBTQ train..I can't go there now..hope you do enjoy yours. Sad that I may never taste it.
@@LeatherDaddy97 guess we don’t have the same pallets. 😂 I really enjoy the full flavors of the CY. Mines 139.5 proof and just some of the most flavor I’ve ever had in a bourbon Cheers 🥃
CostCo in California screwed up the distribution of the 10 and 12. 6th busiest CostCo in North America got only a few bottles of the 10 and zero 12, whereas other stores had more 12 than they could sell. Ridiculous.
"Shoving needles and hitting home runs" may be my favorite review note EVER
JD has really been killing it lately.
Chris fletcher really knows what hes doing
Yes they have! AND they are a pro trans company! I love JD and am so glad they can be a part of the LGBTQAI+ community, thank you for your participation and support! 🌈
@@Hairy-Paratestes2121 They took a huge L on that one
Available and special releases
Last night I put this up against ECBP C922, Woodford Batch Proof 118, and Bardstown Disco 9. JD 12 absolutely destroyed them. Unbelievably good.
I have all but the disco 9… spoiled with good whiskey
Comparing a malt versus bourbon imo is pointless
@@CT60522 none of the whiskies he listed are malts

199? Keep going.
Pure hatred for the secondary market.
I have a bottle of JD 12 I have been sitting on for a few weeks now that I have been waiting for the right time to open. I love seeing you talk it up.
Got this one about two weeks ago, cracked it that night and I think everyone I know will tell you that I haven't shut up about it since. It's so good.
Would absolutely love to see this on a shelf. Got to try it at a bar for $20 and my taste buds were in heaven
I have tried 10 and 12 in the bar also and both were $10-$12 for a double pour. I got multiple glasses and it was so good. I wish I could find bottles on the shelves.

Had some tonight at a bar and definitely will buy some once i find it in the store!
Wonder if the wild temperature fluctuation has anything to do the huge oak presence? Temps down here are crazy 1 day it's 80 the next 30 and snowing.
You two are my favorite bourbon people. Remind me of me.
Well, damn… now I have to get a taste of this. Thanks for the review.
You guys need to try the Old Elk Cigar Cut; stuff is ridiculously good.
What do you think of the Old Elk Four Grain
how would you say this compares to the single barrel barrel proof, given the price difference?
I do love the SBBP but this honestly is about perfect for us. 107 proof has all the complexity without all the bite that some of the barrel proofs get to
@@BourbonJunkies thanks broski. Guess I'll have to hunt one down here (NYC/Long Island). The only one I've seen so far was for $250
Hugging my new bottle while watching this. They had Buffalo Trace too so I couldn't be happier. Good show guys.
Do I have to be a patron to purchase those shirts and hoodies merch?
Got one for 85 bucks at an ABC drop! I missed a Stag and was pissed, until I tried it. Insane release. My freind got the 10, and it's good but not even close to the 12 level.
Got this as well on an abc vault release!
Great review fellas!
Slow down on the WLW I spy in the background, it’s running low, once it’s gone
It’s gone
Keep’em coming
I lost it when I saw the "burnt his mouth on Luke's burrito"
😂

Nothing wrong with that
Getting this bottle for retail is one of my proudest achievements
Jack Daniels 12 is really good 🥃
So is the 107 proof a nod to Old No. 7?
I take no responsibility for providing hot food lol...........also I did tell you to cut that burrito in half to let it cool down
They never listen 😂
Just got my hands on a bottle of this at MSRP, no tax! Phenomenal pour!
I did too a while back. Been babying it. Just under half left. Wish I had a backup
“It’ll be pretty easy to pick out” - Sean’s famous last words
Always
Picked one up for 60, looking forward to trying it at some point.
Had the choice between J12 and Stagg 22b at a lottery this weekend? What’s would you pick?
The jack for sure
Stagg. All day
Jack , dude is telling you Stagg so you don’t get the bottle he wants 😂
Negative. Stagg is just a superior bottle. I have the 12. It’s kinda boring. Especially compared to Coy Hill
@@BourbonHawk69 stagg jr just tastes like cherry. Ive yet to have one i thought was legitimately impressive. Id much rather have just about any ecbp
Only time I've seen this they were charging $300. And I live in TN. You'd think if I lived in this damn state I could at least find Jack more often and at a decent price.
I just saw it at a random liquor store in central Jersey for 250

jd12 is def a Barry Bonds HR. its SO good.
How to make a bottle even more scarce in one step:
1. Have an insanely good review on the Bourbon Junkies channel
I don't think JD would even feel it's move the needle for any of their products
The needle moves in certain circles. About a county radius in Michigan. The entire community of vampires-at night only. Guys with zero hands-the guys never picked for the “hands team” in football. So let’s be more clear. 😊
I'd try it if/when it comes to Oregon. Really want a bottle of the double barrel.
well thank you guys ever so kindly for not answering my simple question
Got a 12 year batch 2 bottle today.
My JD12 appears to need some time to open up.
$500 secondary 😖. It’s too bad most of us will never get to try this.
I’ve heard it described as “Whiskey Extract” it’s so pure
Woo-hoo...just scored one for msrp!! It's a good day 🙂
I got a bottle of this as soon as it came out and was not disappointed with it. I wish it costed about $70 instead
Hoping to score this. Feeling like this is the year of JD.
Mennick has this right there with WLWeller
I look forward to finding this one day! Sold out immediately in Chicagoland area😂. Great review guys!
Just bought 3 cases because yeah it's that good
Has the 12 year finally made it to MI?
Yes it’s undoubtedly the best I’ve had. I consider myself a novice bourbon drinker but damn, the search is over. Absolutely what I imagine a fine bourbon should taste like.
I’ll never open my 10 12 or coy I just can’t bring myself to do it
Your review was great, hopefully I can get a bottle! 😋👍
85 bucks in PA love the bottle shape too.
Our local store in NJ has it for $349. Criminal. The 10 year is 199.
Gross
$529 for the 12 yr. here in Illinois!!!!! The 10 is $259 and heard from other channels that it isn't anything to run home about.
Stop shopping there
There’s a place in central Jersey that has the 10 year for 150 and the 12 for 250
I just dropped 299 plus tax on a bottle in a shop in Los Angeles. Everything online is 350 and up. I hope it’s as good as the hype says it is.
The tasting notes you described feel like my JDSBBP that I got for $55. Curious to see how the 12yo stacks up
It’s no comparison imo. Don’t get me wrong though, JDSBBP is one of the best values in whisky though. Amazing bottle
If I could find this within a reasonable msrp, I would get it. But not going to pay $450- $500 for it.
Rub it in! I got 2 10 years but struck out on the 12 year
I see that Virtue Spirits bottle in the background!
This sounds up my alley…gonna get 👏
The whiskey tubers are the ONLY people getting this stuff for MSRP
I’m on it .
If only I could find the 12 year. Crossing fingers Michigan gets better with distribution.
Not a chance. Man, been rough here in the Mitten lately!
I’m almost positive I have a bottle of this coming
I’m going to immediately blind it Vs 2021 Birthday Bourbon (12 year 104 proof)
Good luck!
Do you think Dan likes it?
I just saw the beginning, middle & end of Dan’s stroke right there
I got one of these from my local hookup and teared up a little when I tasted it. It’s just amazing. Some real Sus Shops around me trying to sell this for 4 Hundo. Not going that high but you NEED this…
Tried so hard to find this in Oregon.
such a great review. so much flavor. sounds amazing. keepup great work. cheers.
Well I actually did find one… the neck pour was super oaky for me and my buddies, which I didn’t expect. Oakier than most 12 year bourbons I’ve had.
Sadly this is selling for &350 locally so I won’t get to try it,
JD flexing again. I'm happy to eat crow when it comes to what JD has done the past couple years.
How did this bad boy stack up against JD SBBP?
I was at a liquor store in SW Florida the other day and the guy had a Jack Daniels 10 year old for a cool $500. I was like WTF?!
$399 for the 10 year and $499 for the 12 year near me in Orlando.

I thought the 12 was boring. Very one dimensional, no layering, mostly corny ethanol. Very disappointing but its possible i got a bad bottle.
Agreed on the boring part
We here in Ohio have been waiting on this release
??? did I miss it?
The way Dan was talking all the way through the video, i thought we were going to get an SQ4+ rating

250 for the 10 and 400 for the 12 yr, and I’m less than 100 miles from the distillery.
Got 2 this weekend for $139 apiece!!
Just saw one at a liquor store in the metro detroit area. $270. Couldn't pull the trigger for that price. Would have paid $150
Enjoyed the review, but you guys haven’t tasted deliciousness like Rebecca Creek Double Barrel Spanish Oak.
What about the 15 year ...... better or worse
Doesnt exist yet
I dont doubt this one is amazing but i just ditched a bottle of Blue Run to recoup the cash due to its high hype, low performance. Im gonna have trust issues for years after that one. 😂 Blue Run=All Hype and regret. 🤷
