    This man should have 10 times the subscribers. Awesome job picking out and comparing similar bourbons to give us unlucky statesiders an idea of what we're missing. Thanks for your efforts!

      Agreed! Bourbon Bill's fresh. I think most people, like myself, want to watch reviews to see if they want to purchase and Bourbon Bill provides just that. He get's down to business and I feel like I'm sitting there next to him at the fireplace while I tilt back in my recliner and glen. 🥃

    Kc12 is the pound for pound Champ in the 65 Doll Hair age stated 12 category. One trick with the KC12 that I have found mellows the peanut (which i actually like btw- but that's a different video) is to decant the whole bottle the way our grandfathers used to. All that air gets in there and smooths out those ester molecules. Great review as usual. Cheers

      Can’t argue with you there. KC 12 kills it in the value/quality game. I’ll have to try the decanter method this particular bottle I have had a good bit of oak well blended in but I’ve had other KC12 bottles that were chock full of peanuts lol

      I really love your reviews. Just wanted to see you get up there quickly, so you don’t stop reviewing.
      Many years ago, I asked a friend why my items wasn’t selling on eBay. He told me it looks amateurish and untrustworthy. After I made the items look professional, they sold quickly. I feel, seeing your UA-cam, reminds me of my experience.

    Those comparisons were absolute *chef kiss* perfection. Factoring in the price/availability, KC12 is pretty damn appealing. But in the end, SHAME ON YOU WILD TURKEY! We should at least have that option.

      Haha thanks John. Yeah KC12 was real close but I have seen a lot of bottle variation in them so it didn’t win. But yes Shame on WT for not at least selling this as an LE or something here

      Haven’t tried the GTS 2022 I heard it was good this year. This was very good but I preferred the oakier profile on RR13 batch 3 but I like a lot of oak I can see how this would be better for some people. Compared to GTS though I think it’s too low proof to punch with the big dogs

      If you paid msrp for both the weller and blantons yeah the wt 12yr is 150 here in the states quite a bit cheaper overseas. I’ve seen the WT 12 year on secondary for $200 or less so it’s a fair trade

      Good suggestion Dave. I haven’t seen or know anyone who had the WT13 father and son. I think it’s lower proof though. If I come across it I will certainly review it
