I thought Calumet 15 taste a little like earthworm
Congrats on hitting the big time and getting paid to read adds!
Love the vids, keep up the great work!
Just scored a bottle of the Sam Houston 15. I've never seen Sam Houston before in my area at any of my regular spots, but was walking past a liquor store I've never been to last weekend on my way to dinner and saw it on the shelf through the window. Went back the next day and grabbed it, can't wait to pop the cork on that now! Thanks for the great content.
Like the fast pace of this video with conclusions and without excessive taste descriptions.
I picked up the Kentucky batch 1 also. Also one of my favorites! So darn good!
Agreed the ECBP batches this year still great !
I like cheap whiskey like WT101 and OFRye. I also drink cheap Scotch like Glenlivet.
I agree The Sam Houston 15 is spectacular and the Calumet 15 is a win as well. Love my Bottle of A121.
I blinded the Calumet 15 and Sam Houston 15. The Calumet edged it out. Slightly more intense cherry pie filling flavor. It was extremely close. Great bottles.
Matttt! Per usual thanks for the content! I have to agree...Sam Houston 15 is the best bourbon I've had this year thus far. I was able to score Maryland Batch 01, and I'll tell ya...it's an oak bomb in the best way possible. Like catching the 'Great Bambino's' bat to the face!
Thanks for including some that can be found on the list.
Had to because I couldn't find the other stuff either haha
Love Love the Calumet 15. As much as it costs, it became my daily drinker. That is until I drank it all.
I’ve bought and enjoyed everything on your list this year with the exception of Old Carter. Not available in NC. I’ll come across it one day and when I do, I’ll sip it like a champ. Cheers!
Dude...love love love this vid. We are almost TOO well aligned in favs. Scary really. I havent found your #1 and #2 picks yet so on my top 5 shelf ive got them replaced with Turkey Rare Breed and Bakers 7. And i'd swap out the Smoke Wagon to 6th and bring forward the Knob 12. Also..for those wanting to save ~$25, the Calumet 14 is no slouch! Thanks for videos like this...its great to see our Whiskey Ambassadors suggesting great findable stuff!!!!
Bakers 7 is a favorite of mine...when l can find it.
Friggin nailed the list and friggin nailed the ad spot. Glad to see a good mix of heavy hitters and available gems. Great video Matt, you magnificent human you!
Thank you! I need to work on the ad spot stuff lol
I have no idea how you are not at 100k viewers right now. Your content is so much fun.
Thanks Erik! Maybe someday!
Love the choices!
I scored two bottles of Sam Houston 14 the other day for 80.00 each.
It’s moved into my number one slot so far!
No scuffle here! Thanks for the list Matt
Thanks Steve!
Love Sam Houston 15! I lucked out and was able to purchase 3 bottles for $99.00 each at a local Costco. I'm down to 1 and a half bottles.
I have three bottles of the Sam Houston 15. The woman working the counter asked if it was good. I told her (just this morning) It was the best bourbon I have imbibed this year. There are 3 more at the liquor store all locked up being the glass. I'm going to check again next Monday. If there are any left I'm buying them. Trying to let others have a chance, but you can only ask so much of me.
Price?
125/bottle
Whiskey tribe is here!! Let the fun begin!
Our pallets appear to be about the same, Matt. I have 3 different batches (55,65,74) of Smokewagon SFTB and they were all awesome. Same with ECBP- (A121,B21) and OF 1920. Passed on the Sam H.@$125. Bought 2 bottles Obtainium (67.8% 13yr) over the $500 I'd have to pay for Old Carter. I also had a New Riff store pick that came in at 103.1 that's great.
We just released our top whiskeys of 2021 so far and we had a bunch of your picks Matt...we are getting ready to review Sam Houston 15 and Calumet 15 very soon that may make our final top 10. Great video as always! Cheers and Rock On!
Cheers!
Skipped over a bottle of Sam Houston 15 for a bottle of Old Forester 1920 & Remus Repeal Reserve. Still super excited to give these two a shot, but now part of me is saying go back tomorrow and get the Sam Houston
Listen to that part of you. You will not regret it. SH 15 is so damn good.
What Remus did you get the number 3 is the Best of the lot
If you haven’t tried Horse Soldier, I highly recommend.
Also, another great Nevada bourbon (and exclusive to the state) is Frey Ranch.
On the list!
I have to say my Sam Houston 15 AL batch is also my fav of 2021. Cheers 🥃
Nice!
Nice list there Matt! You are one lucky sonofabeeotch to have found some of those! I’m hopeful this fall will bring a surprise allocated bottle my way. But my luck sucks...so probably not 🤣
After SH 14 last year (delicious)….snagged 2 of the 15s this year. I was nearly certain it was going to be high on the list. (I knew you were a big fan of the 14).
Got a bottle of Sam Houston 15 SC-1 that I have not opened yet but excited to try!
Niiiice!
Oh Course. All of these bottles are what I want already. AAAuuuuugggggg!! Have to build up my budget from the last splurge on whiskey. Soooo, want that Sam Houston 15.
Hilarious!
My top 5 that I got for the first (or only) time during 2021 so far this year are (in no particular order, the order changes all the time lol):
1. JDSBBP rye
2. Stagg Jr batch 15
3. Michter’s barrel strength rye 2021
4. Bardstown Bourbon Company’s Discovery series 4
5. Russel’s Reserve 13yr
Honorable mention: Sam Houston 15, batch NM-1
So delicious! Cheers! 🥃
Key is semi obtainable. RR13 and StaggJr were not that obtainable by most people....
@@BetterYouThanMe77 Stagg Jr was an honorable mention, so was Woodford batch proof… the key wasn’t semi-obtainable IMO it was something he was able to have a physical bottle of. So it doesn’t include something he had at a bar somewhere or a sample sent to him, it’s something he had an actual bottle of.
Remus Repeal Reserve 5, wow just wow! I’d run that against the Old Carter Batch 8.
Hey Matt, another great Bourbon video. Any chance you could review Bluenote 9 yr and 17 yr? That would be awesome.
If I come across the bottles I'll be happy to do a review!
I have a Sam Houston 15yr 103 proof and it is batch IL-2. It is average but I’ve only had a couple pours, need to try more
Have all of them but carters, got stag junior instead.
I feel about the same way about the Sam Houston 15 and the Doc Swainson's 15- they are both killer and I spent too much getting three bottles of each.
Both are awesome
Love the Smoke Wagon products, Ive had 3 different ones and liked them all.
Just grabbed a small batch yesterday
@@ADHDWhiskey Ill be right over 😬
This was a great list. Now I gotta track down a dram of that Sam Houston!
Yeah ya do!
Got ahold of the sam Houston Montana Batches 1 and 2! Both are amazing! And for the price point! Can't be beat right now! Definitely my number one so far!
2 would be Henry Makenna 10 year!
3 would be Rabbit Hole Cavehill
4 would Horse Soldier Barrel Strength
5 is a tie of uncle Nearest 1884 and Mythology
I also have a Montana batch Sam Houston! Bottle 4 of 264, MT-2
I was fortunate enough to snag a bottle of Batch 15 at MSRP. 😁
I was lucky to find on the shelf, in PA no less, a bottle of Old Forester 1920. Funny, it's no longer available. What a shock...
Dang PA
@@ADHDWhiskey I know right! What the HECK!
Thanks Matt. Smoke Wagon is at the top of my must-smuggle list to bring to 🇨🇦. Does the OF 1920 have any dates on it?
I dont think it does
Great video Matt! Just FYI, here in NC, an ABC state, ECBP went up 10 bucks to 69.95. Still good!
Still worth every penny
Just picked up my second bottle while it was still on the shelves. So tasty
Same in NorCal starting this year, A121 $69.99.
The stupid thing was C920, which was awesome!, came late, about 2 weeks before A121, and it was still $59.99! Go figure...
In NYC hard to find under $100
Sweet I can get the OF 1920. The rest is out of my price range or available near me.
What kind of sweet notes does this bottle have? Brown sugar or vanilla?
You need to blend VOB 100 with Basil Hayden toast 1:1. Wife ended up not wanting either so i made a cocktail and bam- very old toast. Toasted banana bread palate making an 80 proofer drinkable
You needed to have her show up at the end of the video behind you with a riding crop in her hand... You know, with that look on her face. 😂
Gotta get OC Batch 9, even better than 8!
I would have to give my top spot to RR13, it's just damn good
Still looking for a bottle of it!
Wow, I was just at Justin's and they were asking $599.00 for one of the newer Old Carter's. You must have gotten a WTWT discount.
I'm almost embarrassed (not really) to say l'm on my 6th bottle ECBP A121. I don't see many those highly rated bottles (Old Carter, King of Kentucky ect...) in my neck of the woods but l'm happy that ECBP & 1920 are on the shelf both in the store and in my home.
I also bought a case
#1. Blanton’s
Hey Matt, why no mention of Malort? It’s not whiskey, but what about Mad Dog?
Anyone tried the Florida SH15? The SH14 FL-1 was undrinkable. Don’t want to waste my money again.
Haven't heard
Check out the Bourbon Santa. I think he just reviewed SH15 FL-1 last week.
How do you know if Old Forester is 2021 batch as you mentioned?
I've never tried the Old Carter bourbons, but the American whiskey is a hitter, specifically batch 6. Have you tried the AW yet?
I have gone crazy over a Knob Creek store pick locally here in Sparrowfart, IN…. Only a 9 year but that was an incredible barrel and they had 2 bottles on the shelf left yesterday so now they don’t … Merica
😂😂
I live in Indiana and I can assure you there is no such town
Love that town! Great fried chicken!
some of the knob store picks are the best bourbon ive had, I also ran into a real stinker but overall when i see a KC store pick I grab it
Sparrowfart lol
Matt -- have you been able to try the new Old Forester BP Rye?
Not yet but can't wait
For some reason the Old Forester 1920 is another level this year. Not sure if I’m fooled by the new label but if the placebo effect is real then so be it.
Weird, huh!?
You should share some of those Bourbons with your awesome subscribers....hahahaha.
Have you tried the Heaven's Door straight bourbon? I think this would be a good one to review because it's a good entry level whiskey for beginners and very accessible. And of course it is very good lol.
I havent but it is on the list
A hahahaha, the wife took over the Sam Houston! Gonna need you to keep the pimp hand strong 😂😂😂
She will beat me
Opened the new bottle of OF 1920 this evening. I think it may give Sam Houston a run for its money.
It is good!
Allocation season just gets me depressed because it's the season where I never get jack shit. I feel like I have a better chance of getting a PS5 at retail. I'll grab some of that 1920 though. Enjoying some Chattanooga Whiskey 111 at this very moment. Cheers🥃🤙
You forgot Makers FAE-01. You weren't a fan - no issue there, but a lot of us were...and are. Dark cherries and pipe tobacco goodness. FAE01.
I didnt forget it, lol!
@@ADHDWhiskey Sign your opened bottle and send it to me - would pay you fairly for it and it'd be cool to have a little ADHD on my shelf at home. Can DM.
Sam Houston is my second favorite whisky this year behind hunt and gather 15 year.
That Hunt and Gather is pretty unique!
@@ADHDWhiskey the Canadian one this year is basically smores for me and it's definitely something i wish I had more of
@@Aubrey_Universe how would you compare them to each other? I have both available near me.
@@vadesnow3675 well for one hunt and gather is far less money at 75 dollars to 130. Hunt and gather 15 year is like smores in a glass. It's vanilla ice cream, creme brulee, a touch of oak, Graham cracker, milk chocolate, toasted marshmallows. It's sweet for sure but definitely something I've wanted to come back to immediately once it's out of my glass. Sam Houston varies based on batch from each state but my batch was tons of classic bourbon flavors of treacle, brown sugar, caramel, vanilla, and sweet oak just done super well.
@@Aubrey_Universe thanks for the info!! Last question, would you rank it above ecbp 2021 or 2020 batches?
Thank Goodness you didn't list WT 101....
Does anyone know the video where Matt sings baller, shot caller?
Stagg jr 15 is good. I got 2 for retail. Ecbp a121 was better tho
👍 agreed!
Well, I'll never see #1 or 2 so just here to piss and moan. I will have to get some of the "new" 1920, it's always been high on my list so if it's even better look out competition. I did manage to get several of the Smoke Wagon uncut unfiltered and love it. I've got both of those ECBP but haven't cracked them.
What magic is Old Forester up to for 1920 to be as great as it is? I don't understand, but I'm also not mad...
No idea but this bottle is delish!
What, no RR13?!? That's okay Matt, I didn't get one either. I was 7th in line at the ABC store and they only had 6 bottles, about 50 total for the whole state.
Neeeeed one!
Smoke Wagon U/U beat Jr. B15?? You definitely have a palate that loves MGP. And I'm a tater 😄
Watuh Watuh!
There will only ever be one!
🍾🇺🇲
its a weird year when OF1920 makes the list and Bardtown Disco does not.
Me likey!!
How about with every Sleeper download you send a sample of one of those top 5?
😄😄
@@ADHDWhiskey I'll take that as a no but you don't have to decide now. Sleep on it.
Alot more ethanol on the new one . Less banana a bad aftertaste
Don’t drink a lot of bourbon but OF 1920 is my favorite. Just bought the new bottle.
So good!
Concur.
@ItsStillRealToMe DamnIt Haven’t popped it yet, but my palate is probably not up to the task of differentiating between two releases of the same expression. Didn’t save any of the old bottle.
@ItsStillRealToMe DamnIt I wish I had kept a little of the old bottle for a side by side comparison.
Thanks for spending all of your big boy dollars to give us this list 💪🏽
Lol!
Matt, your assessment of your favorite bourbons for this year is WRONG!
Just kidding. Thanks for what you do and entertaining us.
Question: have you heard of this guy, Patt Morter? I heard he's the favorite to win the Bardstown Bourbon competition this year.
Heard he still needs to enter the contest...
Wooo
Matt kissing ECBP is all i can watch all day 😘😘😘😍😍😍
Bring on the top 5 list haters
#top5!
Someone send this man some Bluenote 17yr stat!
I need that in my life
@@ADHDWhiskey happy to mail a sample
ECBP went up to 70 here in ohio. womp
Uht ooh, I think she knows...
Did you tell her???
@@ADHDWhiskey he told her!? sh@t. you're doomed! DOOMED i say! nothing left to do now but don an elaborate disguise and hide out in the 1950s bomb shelter that im about to dig in my back yard. Ill have it ready for you when you arrive....ill just ask that you hand me the bottle of Sam Houston 15 for safe keeping while you're down there. mwahahahahahahahahhaha..{twirls mustache}.....
elijah 112 english pounds, 150 us. youve got it cheap there,
Shes gonna know bro. 😆
I have Old Carter i paid more than 200 for it ....do i give 2 shits or a fizzuk no i need MORE
Haha!!
Oh. She knows. She always knows….
i thought u have the jack daniel bp rye? Ddnt make the cut?
This was a bourbon list, silly!
@@ADHDWhiskey hahahaha oops 😬
I just wanted to contribute to all the pissing and moaning about Old Carter.
Why does everyone hate on Basil Hayden?
Mostly their marketing bs. Just better stuff higher than 80 proof (the bare minimum) in that price range.
Because Bad
Who wants to pay for 60% water?
Mainly because they used to make decent tasting low-proof bourbon. Now they only make bad tasting low-proof bourbon.
Is it just me or is this sourcing whiskey then slapping $100+ price starting to get out of hand?
Not sure how humans drink ECBP... It's just hot mess
🤷♂️
#SheWillNeverKnow
She is none the wiser
I wish the sam 15 Mississippi release was as good as yours. It’s a double thumbs down
Interesting. Would be quite a video to compare the different releases from each state that has distribution.
That is a huge bummer
You’re wrong. Sincerely, the Internet.
I'm wrong about the best bourbons I've been able to acquire this year....according to me? 🤷♂️
These are all BS….that’d be Best Selections. ;)
