This is a bit random, but the same 1999 Bernheim distillate in the old Fitzgerald VVS is the same exact juice that was blended with Buffalo Trace distillate for the 2012 Van winkle lot B. Same year and recipe and everything.
Did you guys have Murray Hill Club special release batch 4? That is one of my top whiskeys this year! Bookers the reserves is my surprise bourbon of the year! Disco 12 and Stagg 24a is on mine. Old Overholt 11 year cask strength is one of my top ryes! Bardstown high wheat is my shelfer of the year.
I paid SRP for my bottle. It's good, but even that amount was too high. It's NOT my favorite of 2025. There were better releases for my palate. I think the hype surpasses the juice.
I really appreciate the honesty about your picks for the list. It’s refreshing.
I paid 425 for my RR15 and no regrets. It is the only bottle I paid full secondary for last year.
Any suggestions on where to find an old fitz 13?
In 2024 I realized I must have Wild Turkey 101, Old Grand Dad 114, Knob Creek 9, Benchmark Bonded and Buffalo Trace
That’s awesome. Glad you could find things that you love and I love that they’re inexpensive.

Glad to know your rules now and I enjoyed the video. Looking forward to your review of LF.
I wish I could get my hands on an Old Fitz 13, my 17 that is almost gone was amazing.

Absolutley agree with how good secondary pricing for Russels 15 is compared to MSRP for a whiskey of the year
Russell’s 15 is my top bourbon. Love it!
I got 3 RR15 at retail and I would of paid $400
What a pour!!
Still looking for RR15 if there are any suggestions on good secondary pricing.
