Nice review BB. Sample is 23D batch. Hoping to get a 2024. 🥃
Thanks Dave! I know they are all single barrels but from my limited tasting 24A is very good
Widow Jane 10yr is awesome. Definitely flies way under the radar. But it and back it up if you can. Delicious
10 Yr Anniversary.
It really is people slept on that release
Paying $65 for knob creek 12, $60 for knob creek store picks, and getting knob creek rye store picks for $50 makes paying $90 for a bookers a little easier pill to swallow.
I dont know if another distillery offers the value that jim beam does.
Yeah I don’t either beam still delivers really high aged LEs for less than their counterparts
Well it depends on whether you like JD then collecting since 91 probably only have a couple dozen JD's in my collection just the big releases never was a huge fan but it's all good everyone has different taste
Yeah for sure it’s all palate dependent.
Serendipitous episode! Took delivery of a Bombergers 2023 today after watching your review recently. First time owning or even trying one. To your health Bill!
That’s awesome hope you love it man it’s one of my favorites
I got a pour of Bombergers 2023 at a bar and it is spectacular. I got lots of baking spices on it, beyond the fruit and caramel-vanilla described by Bill. Enjoy!
@The_Profezor Yeah it's lovely. Bill never misses the mark with his recommendations.
Great review as always!
Thanks I try lol
My Michters 10 year was more stone fruit, butterscotch and sweet oak. I compared mine to Heaven’s Door 10 year. I thought the Michters was better but the Heaven’s Door was really good. Great review today
Thanks James and yeah I think that’s the problem heavens door was probably 90% as good for half the cost lol
Happen to know the source for the Heaven's Door 10?
@@BeThr_Best_Served_Neat_On_Ice I have no idea, but I think for a celebrity whiskey, it’s great. You need samples?
Keeping it real love the anger over the price haha also great alternatives
Thanks sometimes I get a little angry about the pricing schemes
The 24A batch was much better than my 23E batch! I’ve had a few samples of 23A batches and they were noticeably better than the 23E. I already know the JD 12 and Michters 10 are gonna put up a battle in my end of year rankings. I need to find a JD 10 batch 3!
Haha yeah I hope Dave chimes in and remembers what batch of 2023 he sent me that I compared it to. The 24A was delicious but you are right it’s going to compete with Jd12 and batch 3 of JD10 which poses a pricing problem lol
@@bourbonbill,
Speaking of a pricing problem ...
Around me, if you have to meet a guy behind the high school after-hours, you're looking at 150 for the JD10 B3 versus *350* for the M10!
@@BeThr_Best_Served_Neat_On_Icehaha yeah the secondary gap is even more which really makes the pricing issue worse
How do you think the Widow Jane 10th Anniversary would compare to the Jack 10 Batch 3? Is the Anniversary in the same league?
They are in the same league for sure. I really enjoy both but I probably lean Jack just because that’s one of my favorite profiles
@@bourbonbill,
Any nuttiness to speak of on the 10th Anniversary?
@@BeThr_Best_Served_Neat_On_Iceno not really
I love alot of the Michter’s line but they are in the territory of price gouging at this point. Hate to say it but it seems obvious. Many other better options for hundreds less!!
That’s how I feel about it. They produce quality whiskey but the pricing is getting insane and I don’t like the excuse oh they have a lower barrel entry so it’s more expensive so do others who don’t charge as much
@@bourbonbill Totally agree. Love your channel!
This was a veeerrrryyy special episode! The intro... meh... no shaking hands 😂
I'm waiting to take possession of a JD10yr batch 3 (coming from Neveda). I agree Michter's pricing is a joke. I would trade for a bottle but ain't paying $200+ out the door!
You should really enjoy the JD10 batch 3 it’s great stuff. And yeah I think they are gouging but people keep paying it
Won a bottle of Parker's heritage 10yr rye in my states lottery. Priced at 185 as well. Jury is out to see if the juice is worth the squeeze. Also Hemingway rye is a pretty decent product if you get a chance to try it
I heard mixed things on the Parker’s but haven’t tried that one myself hopefully you enjoy it. I’ve been meaning to get a Hemingway rye maybe this year yet
Great review Bill!!! Isn't it amazing that Michters 10 is supposedly a brown forman product and usually according to their master distiller contains older whiskey than 10 years. This year is the last that Michters 10 will be sourced so next year we will apparently see Michters 10 as their own. Price will be very curious as will quality. Look at bulleit crashing now that they are using their own. JD10 waaaayyy better than Michters 10 IMHO!!
That’s a great point next year will be very telling if it’s all their own.
Bulleit no longer sourcing? When did that changeover happen? Quality has dropped off?
@@BeThr_Best_Served_Neat_On_Ice I think it was very recent but yes they apparently are using their own product now and it's not selling well.
Most of the 2024s were much older than 10 years in some cases some of them were pushing 15 more in the range of 12
Yeah I heard that but if the JD10 beats it the 12 would too
I'll be the one person excited about WJ 10th Anniversary's performance in this video. I've always loved WJ10, but thanks to you I pulled the trigger on two bottles of the 10th Anniv and it was worth every penny. It really can go toe-to-toe with many allocated and/or more expensive bourbons.
I'm a little jealous of so many people loving their KC12, especially given how much I enjoy Beam products. Mine is good, not great. I tried a friend's bottle and it was just ok. This makes me think that it must be batchy as hell. Don't get me wrong, I will enjoy the heck out of my bottle. But honestly, it would be destroyed by everything else in this video. I enjoy top-tier KC store picks much more at just 60 bucks.
Keep up the excellent comparison videos, Bill. This is one of your best ones yet. Cheers.
Bill has said previously that KC12 is quite batchy. (I think he's said he's had half a dozen of 'em.)
So you're saying your WJ 10th would destroy the two KC12s you've had?
Are both your 10th Anniversarys the same year and batch? Any idea if the *Anniversarys* are batchy?
@@BeThr_Best_Served_Neat_On_Ice That's a good question. I have batch 6 of WJ Anniv. Both bottles. I have no idea which batch Bill has, but I can tell you that I enjoy mine as much as he enjoys his. Similar religious experience with lots of "oh dear lords" coming out of me. Lol.
Haha yeah the WJ10 anniversary is spectacular stuff. I’ll have to send you a sample of my KC12 I’ve had a bunch of them and they do have a consistency issue
Either way, Brown Foreman wins 😉! Michter’s has built a reputation on their LEs as a premier whiskey company. Their 20 and 25 year releases go for crazy money. They are cashing in on that reputation. I have a 2023 M10. I’ll milk it for a couple of years lol. Great comparisons. Thanks BB.
Haha thanks and yeah true either way brown Forman wins.
Have both a batches but haven't cracked the 2024
Oh crack it and let me know your thoughts not sure what batch of the 23 I tried
What a guy!!!!!!
Thanks
103 entry proof
Yep they do use low entry proof same as peerless and same as wilderness trail does. A few places still do it
It's not 10 yo bourbon
Well it’s for sure got 10yr in it or else they would have changed the label the rumor is it’s older
Overpriced for sure, I will stick with KC 12, Woodford DO, & Rare Breed.
Can’t go wrong with any of those options
