I love my Vader batch but there are less than 200 bottles produced, how can it be a whiskey of the year with it being so limited? It’s unlike any of my other cigar blends that I have, it’s a freaking amazing batch.
I found a batch 58 by my office in Midtown Manhattan by complete accident. I am so glad I just bought as soon as I found it. I would love to see this compete for bourbon of the year. The batches are small, so, it’s rare to see it head to head with other hitters.
Thanks for the great review Jason. Found a bottle of this online today. Can't wait to crack it after I get it. Cheers and keep the great reviews coming.
I picked up a bottle of batch #65. One of the best I've ever had definitely top 3! I love this Bourbon. If you see one buy it, you won't regret it. Cheers 🥃👍👍
Was lucky enough to score batch 69 last week. Can’t find much info about but I’m going to have to crack into it tonight after watching this. Cheers Jason!
I have been hunting for this bottle for months. Ever since I saw your video. Found a bottle in Illinois at Total Wine for $159. It’s Batch 111, 115.1 Proof. Looking forward to cracking this one, but waiting on Nancy’s tasting notes on my batch. Cheers!
It’s a masterpiece, I bought a backup bottle of this Vader batch the other day. I collect Cigar Blends and this is a standout out of the JM cigar blends
Nice, would love to sample this. Can't imagine finding it in the NY stores. Maybe a pour somewhere, some day.........I wonder if it goes well with the other type of 'cigar'? hmmmm. And the heavy breathing at the end of the bottle pan was gold! 😤
Yet another bourbon that I would happily grab but will never see. Thanks for the fantastic review… Im drooling in envy. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!!
I Enjoy reg Magnus and Murray Hill. I was lucky enough to find my 1st cigar blend (& below msrp) two weeks ago- going to crack for Christmas- I got Batch 57. I’m really excited because it’s part of same group as the 58. Great 👍 review!
Love the Dalmore Cigar Malt and really wish they made more Cigar Blend bourbons. But the chance of seeing any of this in Canada is slim to never but definitely on my bucket list of must tries
I've been lookin for a bottle of this for months, any batch, but I refuse to pay secondary price. I found a liquor store in Texas today that had 2 bottle for just a few bucks over retail price, I don't know what batch, I really dont care, so needless to say I bought both. They'll look great on the top shelf next to the Murray Hill.
Honey coated dates? Now that is a very specific and rare flavor to pull out. Is there anything you haven't eaten? I want you to work in rum soaked fig newtons sometime. Lol. Great review as usual. Your B roll sets you apart.
BATCH #69, 129.72 Proof, aka “TEN LORDS A-LEAPING” On the tenth day of Christmas, the Leapin’ Lords are not about to be undone by the rough and rowdy batch #68, aka “Nine Ladies Dancing.” In this batch we find an old and deep vintage Armagnac barrel influence, with dark dried fruit notes of Medjool dates, black Mission figs, grilled peaches, plump dark raisins, and black currants, together with “rancio” old nutty notes of strong and tangy blue vein cheeses such as French Roquefort and English Stilton, wintergreen mint candy, and dark pumpernickel rye. Rich notes of classic Italian Panettone bread, dried Mesquite bush, Peppermint Patties, and mint simple syrup fill the palate. Waves of candy cane, blue-veined cheese, and buttery cinnamon toast with real maple syrup trickle down the gullet. A true gentleman’s dram!
I understand it probably tastes great but I just can’t justify spending that kind of money on a bottle of bourbon from a company that doesn’t actually make the bourbon it’s selling in the bottle.
Well the art is in the amount of finishes and blends. It still had to be managed and blended. If you overlook them just for sourcing then that most producers these days
It’s a shame the newer batches don’t seem to be as good as these older ones :(
I can’t even find a sample of this stuff. I wish…
I have a hook on a case of cigar blend 111 …store owner wants to move it .. want ?
I love my Vader batch but there are less than 200 bottles produced, how can it be a whiskey of the year with it being so limited? It’s unlike any of my other cigar blends that I have, it’s a freaking amazing batch.
Can u pick up another bottle?
Hey as long as it's impressive it can be in the running.
Love the drumroll Jason C.
Awesome review! Only keeps me motivated to keep me hunting
Love the review Bro. Wish I could find it in north Florida.🥃

Where did you find it?
@@jjjj3321 They are out. I got the last bottle.
I have batch 56. It’s AMAZING. I think it’s my fav bourbon/whiskey ever. I really wonder how it compares to 58
Damn, I need to find a bottle of this somewhere. Sounds amazing
Nice i just grabbed a bottle of batch 63 cant wait for a reason to open paid 195 no complaints there.
"Stop looking at me like that, Grinch" - Well done
i paired this with the padron 35 cigar what a blast,

Lucky son of a gun. How do you score these bottles? Inconceivable!!
Was lucky enough to score batch 69 last week. Can’t find much info about but I’m going to have to crack into it tonight after watching this. Cheers Jason!
She hasn't released the tasting notes yet but they are coming soon. They are names after the 13 days of Christmas
Nice
Missed a 69 by a day, but one called next day with a 68!! They're all good!

I've never had a bad cigar blend, to me they are all AMAZING. I have 27,55,65.

Haven't had a chance to grab one yet but I read batch 36 sounds delicious
Love the Cigar Blends. Glad to hear Batch 58 is a huge hitter.
Love the review - but another bottle I won't be able to find at retail. Cheers
I’ve seen most bottles in the wild at this point. WLW and Cigar Blend are two I have not seen yet 😫
Yet another bourbon that I would happily grab but will never see. Thanks for the fantastic review… Im drooling in envy. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!!
How bad you want it I’ve got one.

I am still hunting for a batch of cigar blend…3.5 years later
Need to try Liberty Pole whiskey line. Washington, Pa
Love the Dalmore Cigar Malt and really wish they made more Cigar Blend bourbons. But the chance of seeing any of this in Canada is slim to never but definitely on my bucket list of must tries
Cigar Blend huh? DAMN that sounds good! Not going to find it anywhere close to me I'm afraid
I’m sure you’ve been asked this, but what is your set up? Shells, pedal, cymbals?
I have a batch 71, and a batch 49 at home. I really want to open them.
Our
Then open it! Don’t let good bourbon sit in the self!

I am a cigar guy and I am gonna search for this one! Ha
Found a batch 46 at retail pretty pumped. The alc/vol does not match the website proof though. Anyone else come across this?
Another great review, would love to get my hands on a bottle of this. How would you compare this to the Bardstown Ferrand?
Love this more.
These are hard to find. I wonder how many people that actually paid these with cigars. Anyway I did manage a 59 last week.
Honey coated dates? Now that is a very specific and rare flavor to pull out. Is there anything you haven't eaten? I want you to work in rum soaked fig newtons sometime. Lol. Great review as usual. Your B roll sets you apart.
Thank you for maintaining the regular schedule... I seriously don't care for advent calendar bullshit that all of whiskeytube seems to be doing.
I'm with ya
Can’t find that batch. I did happen to get batch 28. Has anyone tried it?
I recently scored a bottle of JMCB Batch 17. I haven't cracked it open yet but I'm curious if you or any of your followers have tried this release.
I’ve had Batch 19 and thought it was fantastic. I think a lot of those earlier batches are top tier, so I would expect some fire!
Does 58 take the cake out of the other batches you have?
Yes sir
Yooooo when that riff dropped in the B roll I couldn't even help it... spontaneous stank face.
The whiskey sounds okay, too.
Lol. Is stank face a good thing?
@@TheMashandDrum Yeah, dude! You ever hear a riff/groove so dirty your facial expression involuntarily changes? That.
For International audience what is the best website to order bourbon?
I have a batch #69 can’t find any info any help will do…thanks

WHISKEY CHEERS 😎😎😎😎
Please pick me up a bottle Jason
This stuff is a long conversation
