Ancient age mash bill. Berries. Yougart

Just ordered a 2024 online for a great price lower than SRP. Love the WR DO and TH-cam videos all seem to rate the 2024 WR MC high, so can't wait to try it.

It's the Buffalo trace mash bill. So it hits with floral funk from Buffalo trace but it's finish is semi sweet baking chocolate from Eagle rare. It's the youthful version of that mash bill. It's still very good though.

Haven't tried yet but the 8 yr went to last call in Ohio. It went from 99.99 to 59.99 so just picked up a bottle. The 4 sells for $37 so the math is indeed better now.

Thanks for this review. Yours was about the only one I could find for Blue Comet. Heading over there on Friday after work to taste and buy a couple bottles. This will give me an excuse for a sipping area in my model train room.

Picked one up last night for $110 in the twin cities.

IMO the back end on this bourbon is not good at all. Maybe it needs more aging

Carmel and the un popped popcorn kernels really interesting i was expecting something bourbon adjacent

The Davidson honey is undrinkable

You guys should check out Asbury Park distillery.

Just a note: I ran into this whiskey today and they had dropped the price locally (North Georgia) to $60/btl. At that price it was worth an experiment. Enjoyed your review and agree wholeheartedly that the cherry-forward nose does not show up in the palate or finish at all! Overall decent but not my favorite from the distiller.

I paid $120 at Buffalo Trace on Black Friday as a one time gift shop sale. In the open market at a big box store it does go for $1,000

clove. Lotsa clove with one ice cube. I love it

SC native here. Pronounced *key-uh-wah*. Cheers!

This week, I tried it and loved it.

I am definitely trying this next time I visit my favorite watering hole. Hits me right between the eyes as in terms of flavor profile.

Take it to 8 years and maybe send it to Texas for a year. Have to have a good amount of heat during aging. Just saying.

Defintely not three cocktails in there! Glad to see not EVERY one of these pre-mades aren't bad, especially as you can re-use the spices etc.

Next trip back to SNJ, jump across the bridge to Bristol PEE-AY & check out Dad's Hat distillery. And were you able to get to Trader Joe's in Princeton?

Have you ever had Bricktucky bourbon from Toms River NJ?

I have this bottle, top 5 in my collection.

Just watching this review now. With the pronunciation of Aberlour, the 'lour' part is said as if you are saying the word flour/or flower but without the 'f'. A'bunadh is pronounced A-boone-ack. Alba is pronounced Al-a-puh 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Might be good for an evening Old Fashioned.

this is some grassy rye. I like it, but it's NOT going to appeal to non-rye drinkers.

Good video! Always appreciate the head-to-heads from consecutive years' releases. Already have '23 and might look for '24 based on your comments/results. While this is Master's Collection, you may want to indicate it's the 'Batch Proof' comparisons. What I've heard called "Master's Collection"-only is the Finishing Series, '23 - Sonoma Triple Finish & '24 - Madeira Cask Finish. Would be another great video if you can get your hands on them.

The other of the 3 discontinued expressions is Torfa, their smokey/peaty whisky, and my favorite. I started with Evolution and I just think it is soooo good. A bottle that is pretty close to Evolution is Baldnoch Vinaya. And Vinaya has not been duscontinued, as far as I know. Thanks for your content. Cheers! 0:01

Really nice video. Remember that blinds are the great equalizer, you just never know. Cheers!

Thanks for the R&D. Check out Little Brothers in Flemington NJ next time you're in NJ.

If you're up for a short road trip, maybe check out Trader Joe's in Princeton. They have a surprisingly tasty (for the $$$ ~17/bottle) Bourbon & also a Tennessee whiskey. Costco in Christiana Mall near Wilmington is probably closer. Their Kirkland Tequila Anejo is tasty & nicely priced. I visit both locations coming from pee-ay (Lehigh Valley).

I live at the Jersey shore and there are a few good stores where you can find most anything that comes to Jersey. Unfortunately there are way too many museum stores especially near the main roads.

Its a pass for me

Has been one my Thursday night go too…I like it… $70? I’m getting it for $55…and I live in Ozc CA nothings ever cheaper here haha

Have you tried the 2 reserve bourbons from Nelson Green Brier's? What are your thoughts?

The 2024 is pretty good. I got 2 back up bottles.

I believe Michter's have used the Chiquapin oak finishing since 2019. I have the 2022 and it states Chiquapin as well. I am not sure the total bottle run is 2500 and change, but each batch seems to be 2500 and change, I don't know how many batches they produce each year. My 2022 batch # is 140 and the one on the website for 2022 is 145, that gap alone suggests at least 15,000 bottles.

Have you ever bought a bottle that didn't quite live up to expectations?

What are some of your favorite ryes??

Oooh, now this is a cocktail I can get behind!

Great review guys. I just picked up a batch 18 and was hoping it would be better than the batch 2. Check out the Okolehao, Hawaiian moonshine. Unique flavor.

The only review on this version of the bottle. I liked the Honey cask. Researching to decide if I’ll like this one.

interesting, i' m going to Peru soon.

Just helping with the algorithm

Good that you guys also add a coupe of drops of water and talk about it. Most other TH-camrs don't do that. So good on you guy.

Great review

Have you ever been able to try any of the BTAC? How much over SRP are you willing to pay for hard to find bottles??

War Eagle.

Bardstown Discovery 11 is great juice. Cannot wait for Discovery 12 this fall. 🤘🏻🥃

Sadly, cannot find this on PA's State Store website. Maybe I run across to Phillipsburg, NJ & see if they do...

So...to me there's 2 things in play here. First, anyone drinking scotch should try Lagavulin 16. It's a fundamental kind of thing...like Twinkle twinkle little star or your A, B, Cs. Now...whether you ever go back for it again or have it a part of your bar going forward...that's to each their own. Second, the creator here seems (my impression) to have come in with super high expectations. Any time your expectations are that high, it's super difficult for any whiskey to meet it. Go into buying Lagavulin 16 (or any other whiskey) with moderate to average expectations. Let it surprise you (or not). Let it paint the picture. Let it tell the story. Any time you go into with such strong pre-conceived ideas...the more difficult it will be for whatever your drinking to live up to it.
