I also do not get peanut butter, or a nuttyness, but definitely chocolate for sure. More char than oak, for sure, charred marshmello. More like s'mores than pb cups. Couldn't find the BRT 1 tho. Maybe someday I'll get a sample to compare.
Been looking around and asking about these for the last month or so with no luck. Finally found the pair yesterday for $60 each and grabbed them. Will be putting them to the test soon to see how they compare to both your sampling notes and to the offerings from last year which were superb.
Where's mine? I've been hunting these but no luck so far sadly.I think I've liked all of Private Releases that I've tried and certainly all of the WFS.
Me too. I remember Fred minnick saying that if makers released old stuff (10 years +) as opposed to being mostly focused on mass production, it would compete with pappy. I guess he’s had some super old makers and it was insane
I’m Limited Edition adverse. Some just don’t cut it. Makers Wood Finished LEs, on the other hand, I buy sight unseen. They are my favorite buy each year.
I’m glad someone is finding these, I might one day. I don’t like them coming out at the same time, because you know you have to get both. That doesn’t leave much money for me to buy other things. Great review, thanks.
Dang, can't watch these till later in the day - it's noon and making me want to drink up! Looking fwd to seeing those out west some day. The 02 may be more my jam too - wonder how that compares to the Milk Chocolate I picked up at the distillery earlier this year - will A/B. Cheers for a good weekend, y'all!
I tried my first private select yesterday and I was more pleasantly surprised by Cask Strength when I first had it a while back...So after trying the Private Select I took a sip out of the flak of the Cask Strength I could tell the P.S. was fuller and creamier but on its own the Cask Strength as an affordable daily it is really good and has like a middle note that grabs you or some sort of bite multi- layered...I prefer the Cask Strength as a practical drink...These special makers series if I'm at a bar and they have it just to try....Not going to buy any past my budget
Great review, as always! I'm loving how different these two options are. I prefer BRT-02 but BRT-01 is still phenomenal. BRT-01 drinks like it's 10+ years aged.
I went to Loretto last month to get my Ambassador's bottle, and also picked up a bottle of the Community Blend that they have at the distillery. Highly recommended, if you get a chance to go by there.
Chad, you say Reese’s correctly😂 maybe I’m just wrong too because I’m from Kentucky as well, but I have never heard it called anything but the way you say it.
You say, " Barrel Rotation Time". Some say the "T" means "Temperature". I say it means WHATEVER you would like it to say. So, "T', to me, means "toenail", or "tie-rod", or "Thumbelina". You have drunk their Kool-Aid, so proceed, as they direct you.
I love all things Makers wood-finished, FAE01 is still king tho. Either way, you having BRT02 on our left, and 01 on our right, is REALLY messing with me keeping track of which is which in the video. ;)
Love Sarah’s black fingernail polish! Later in October, throw on some black lipstick and you’ll be in the Halloween spirit(s). Pardon the pun. Perhaps in the future you can explain the purpose/benefits of wood aging the bourbon. Do they just throw in some barrel staves b4 bottling or is there a specific process that achieves a specific outcome?
Not everything has peanut butter/peanuts, CHAD! 😆 And nothing personal, but I trust Sarah’s palate more than yours. Still want both bottles. Looking forward to blind battle between 2021 01/02, and 2022 01/02. Which bottle is the best?
What a timely review for me personally. I picked up a MM 108.9 proof that goes by the title Honeysuckle Breeze that I already planned to bottle pop Saturday evening. I am looking forward to the tasting
Nice review! I’m enjoying the BRT-01 and the BEP tonight and both are pretty nice pours! Picked them both up for 65.00 each! Cheers!
Just bought both of these after tax $140 in Kentucky.
Found a brt-2 cost me $98 they are going up in price big time
There’s still 8 bottles of 02 in Utah for $59.99. I’m considering trying one.
@@WombatAnnihilator I can't find anymore. Been looking everywhere. Hope to find a few more
@@BoozeandNewswithTimandDut come out to Utah! 😅
@@WombatAnnihilator would love to. Never been out that far.
Great video. These never dropped in my state and I can only find them over msrp. Not sure if 80 is a good deal or not.
Just landed the BRT 2 and honestly wow so many layers it's a deep deep rich experience really love it
Just finally found the 01 for $60, can't wait to taste it next to 02.
Picked up one of each at the distillery.
Finally picked up the pair on Xmas! Can’t wait to try them this weekend. Your channel is awesome!!!

I’ve only had the 01, and it’s phenomenal.
Hope I can find one of these.
Would one of these compare to the roasted French mendiant profile they put out where all 10 staves are the same?
Really enjoying this team. 😊
Thanks for the review 🥃
Cheers! Yesterday my "it's bourbon night"-Shirt arrived here! Looks great :-D
dont worry chad, in my area its still called a reesee' cup or reesee's pieces
You should be laughed at if you are older than 4 years old and pronounce it Reesee.
Loved the review. Glad I'm a Whisky Drop subscriber. :)

They haven’t hit our stores yet, either. When they do we’re going to get a back up bottle of each.
BRT-01... Got a stage 5 clinger here.
Great review. Got mine today hopefully have my review out next week I’m excited to see if I prefer one over the other
Would love to see an age-stated limited release at some point. I'm curious what a 10+year old MM would taste like.
Me too. I remember Fred minnick saying that if makers released old stuff (10 years +) as opposed to being mostly focused on mass production, it would compete with pappy. I guess he’s had some super old makers and it was insane
Me 3
Me 4!!!
And then came the Cellar Aged Mm
These are becoming more rare to see in my area. Previous years I was able to get every release.
Hope they have these in the gift shop when we hit them next week cheers
I have a feeling these might be the best ones yet
I was just able to pick up the pair yesterday, very excited!! Haven’t been able to crack them yet I’m pumped to do so!! Cheers
Super cheap. Here in Finland...not available. But found one in Germany. 169€
I agree wholeheartedly. Anxiously awaiting the Chicago drop.
😆 7:37
Always on board with the wood finishing series!!

Interesting finding a whiskey tuber that actually liked BRT-02. As of the typing of this post most on whiskey tube prefer BRT-01
Had brt2 for two weeks just tried brt1 , the brt 1 is richer the brt2 is sweeter , I prefer hotter richer as too sweet , so brt 1 wins .

Got these the other day! Love all their limited releases!

Makers really making some excellent stuff these days. I have the cask strength and a private reserve and both are very good. These sound like winners

Review knobs creek 18 if u can please
Their Whiskey drop program is great!

Blend em........why not?!?!?! 👍
Now you're cooking with gas.
How does someone sign up for the Markers sampler box that you guys receive these from?
Very glad you posted this before I visit MM next week. Now I can figure out what to have on my radar. 🖖🏻😎🥃
Will be looking for them. I echo wanting an age statement.
SE4xPR5 is still my favorite, but I can't wait to try these. Will SE4 finally be dethroned?
Just tried to blend them into a BRT-1.5. Nose was better than the sum of its parts. The palate was dog doo. So wild how that happens….
I love all things Makers wood-finished, FAE01 is still king tho. Either way, you having BRT02 on our left, and 01 on our right, is REALLY messing with me keeping track of which is which in the video. ;)
Hoping some of these will be around next weekend when I’m in Kentucky 🤞🏻
Maybe a versus video against last years releases?
Love Sarah’s black fingernail polish! Later in October, throw on some black lipstick and you’ll be in the Halloween spirit(s). Pardon the pun.

WHISKEY CHEERS 😎😎😎😎
#TeamSara
You both seemed kind of underwhelmed with both of these, yes?
Love the wood finishing releases! Cant wait to get these after watching! POP EM!!!
Ok... Am I the only one? "spice" which?? Clove, pepper, ....?
I can’t wait to review these suckers! Been impatiently waiting far too long
What a timely review for me personally. I picked up a MM 108.9 proof that goes by the title Honeysuckle Breeze that I already planned to bottle pop Saturday evening. I am looking forward to the tasting
If you can't pronounce your channel's name correctly, I'm out.
