Forgot to add the positives….great video and I agree with your tips.

That’s completely fair. People have off days, and maybe we just caught them on an off day. Didnt turn us off to OF by any means, it just wasnt what we were expecting. Thanks for watching! 🥃

Well there ya go! Let’s see how it plays out this year!

Good to know about the OF tours. Have you been to Angel’s Envy since they finished the remodel? Had a much better experience there this time than when it was under construction.

also the Last Refuge. (All for Louisville spots)

Excellent! Watch Hill Proper was on our list, but we couldn’t squeeze it in. Seemed like a place to dedicate some time to! Thanks for the tips. Cheers 🥃

Thank you! Much appreciated!

Perfect! When is that?

To be honest, I don’t recall if they did standard flights at Michter’s. We opted for individual pours of things like Michter’s 10 (bourbon & rye), Toasted Barrell, and a couple others. Roughly $15-30 per pour depending on the bottle you choose.

Yeah, that part was surprising to us, but glad to hear it’s “normalizing” somewhat.

That’s not true every day.

@ I would argue it is more days than not. Production is up big time with a lot of it now at maturity. This was highlighted multiple times during our tour a few months ago.

Nice! Thanks for adding to the list!

Appreciate it!!

That may be due to recent weather closures. We don’t know for sure that kind of supply will continue.

That's not true at all. Don't give people bad advice,because on any given day they definitely might run out well before then.

I bet they are! We opted for pours of harder to find Michter’s, but I’m sure their cocktails are phenomenal as well! Any in particular you’d recommend?

Ah, good call! For this trip, we grabbed a few distillery-only bottles, including: 1) Angel’s Envy Cask Strength Bottled in Bond (wider distribution now I believe) 2) Old Bardstown Bottled in Bond from Willett 3) Rabbit Hole Sucrule - finished in maple brule barrels…fantastic.

Thanks! Have you been yet?

Good question! Some bottles, like the Milam & Greene Wildlife Collection 2025 is slated to come out by the end of January. If some of the bottles mentioned in the video are not available in your local liquor stores, we recommend checking out their website and seeing if you can purchase a bottle there. Many distilleries sell directly to consumers via website.

Thanks, Dakota! We had a blast at JMattingly. We tell everyone we know about it!

Thanks! Thought you might like those!

Thanks!

Nice! If you do end up getting it, we’d love to hear your thoughts on it!

@@BarrelHuntersATX thanks for your reply--i got the sherry cask 12 the other day-and new snifters-will try it out this week..peace

Excuse me, sir, but who are the BABBLE hunters??? 🤣

@ That would be you cool guys! Lmao!

What did you think of the tawny port finish? Those are usually pretty damn good!

Welcome! If you’re having trouble finding it, definitely let your local liquor stores know and hopefully they can start getting shipments. You could also buy it right off the J Mattingly website. They ship to 45 states.

I got mine

Blue Note is excellent. Both Juke Joint and Crossroads are very good. The shirts aren’t available yet, but we’ll probably have a store pretty soon!

That Baby Jane is a GREAT pour!

​@@BarrelHuntersATXyou

Thanks! Yeah, it is a pretty cool story!

Thanks! Have you been able to try this one, or any of the previous Coy Hill releases?

@BarrelHuntersATX Oh no, I’m just starting my bourbon adventure, am I’m trying more available and cheaper whiskeys/bourbons to see what I like, before I start going after the allocated and/or expensive bottles

Excellent! What are you liking so far?

@ Four Roses small batch, Michters straight rye, Buffalo Trace and some Scotch whisky

Awesome man. We’ve got some other videos you might enjoy, including some of our favorite bourbons and scotches for beginners. Cheers and Happy New Year 🥃

Amazing, right?

@@BarrelHuntersATX Yes they are!!!!

Love the idea!

Ha! Now that’s a hell of an intro. Surprised you came back for more! 😂

i was working with a promo company when JD honey came out i think 2010-2011 and have the t shirt--i was impressed by it-loved the flavor

Oh nice! Is that different than the blue popcorn one, or are those one and the same?

@@BarrelHuntersATX Same.

Thanks! And you can definitely adjust the amount of simple syrup, depending on how sweet you like it! Cheers 🥃

They’re out there, but rare. Recommend hopping on some local bourbon FB or Reddit groups. People usually announce when there are allocated drops.

@BarrelHuntersATX thank you kindly. I am more likely to get something kinda different characteristics to them that I can't really find videos on, lol, but still not pricey. Have become a huge rye guy last couple months. I would only get Blanton's if somehow fell in my lap for MSRP. Thanks again fellas.

Love to hear it! Thanks for watching!

MSRP on Blanton’s is $80 these days. $150-200 is very common on secondary.

Aberlour has been one of my favorite Scotch brands for years, and I've been saying wrong this entire time! 😭

Absolutely amazing. Don’t forget, you’ve been warned! 😂

Hahaha. Better make it 2 cases!

Ha! Feel ya on the cask finishes. If you like peaty stuff, Kilchoman finished in mezcal barrels is delicious.

@@BarrelHuntersATX Might be worth looking into.

Tomatin. Very nice, and very underrated!

@@BarrelHuntersATX Whenever someone asks for a nice "starter" scotch, I always name it off. I just love the pom-fruit notes, though it's prolly a step above a "note".

Yep. Hard to go wrong there!

Fair. Appreciate the feedback!

Thank you!

I bet it’s amazing. Havent had a bad sip of Frey Ranch yet!

Been wanting to, but haven’t had the pleasure yet. What’s your favorite from them?

@@BarrelHuntersATX I haven't had anything bad from them, but my favorite is the Double Oak 🥃

Love double oaks in general, so would definitely love to get our hands on one of those! Good lookin out!

@BarrelHuntersATX Next time I see one I'll grab us both one

Insert Denzel Washington “my man” gif here 🥃

Hahaha. Boom boom boom!

You don’t know how close that was for Montana!

@ it’s my absolute favorite!

Glad you enjoyed them!

Glad you found that helpful! Now it’s just figuring out what to get, right?! 😂

Bardstown is a great choice.
