High West's "A Midwinter Night's Dram"! Act 12 Review, Comparison and Substitutes
Sasquatch whiskey? That’s a heck of a sales pitch.
I'm partial to the Kentucky Spirit, but I haven't had the Jimmy Russel 70th yet.
It has high quality features but just doesn’t agree with my palate and it’s frustrating to say the least
This was great! Love to see some more battles of “available” stuff; maybe 100-110 and 110-120, and so on. Battle of wheaters. Battle of higher rye bourbons. Age battles 👍👍.
It’s slow season. You may just get your wish!
I like Wild Turkey products and have never gotten the fascination with Kentucky Spirit. It's good, but pretty expensive for what it is in my opinion.
Has a great mouthfeel but I’m a little lost myself. I am definitely more on the Russell’s train.
As an FYI, unfortunately the Jimmy 70th will not end up as what the new 8 year offering will be (*according to Bruce Russell)
I just watched that interview and saw that. Disappointing but not shocked either. Mash and drum killed it!
Every peerless small batch has a different proof
Sustained! I had this in a cigar lounge recently. I was thoroughly impressed with the depth, richness and lingering finish.
I feel like I'm seeing this bottle's price starting to drop again!
@@BourbonBarkeep - I would not be surprised. I usually see it here in the Chicago market for $80. It hasn't been hard to find, fortunately.
Blantons bashing is silly! It's 69.99 here in Chicagoland and is a very good bourbon for people with a sweet tooth! It does reasonably well in sub 75.00 sub 100 proof blinds...
Was there Blanton's bashing? Putting in the Blanton's tier isn't necessarily a slight. Pure taste, I'm picking blantons over you Weller SR and standard BT. Are there other bottles I enjoy more for less? Absolutely but Blanton's has the following they have for a reason as well. Does it do well for my palate in blinds? No but that doesn't mean I'm drain pouring it either. $70 is less offensive than $85 in KCLand. KC getting the shaft by the whiskey world on so many levels.
@BourbonBarkeep yes! A little horsey stuff! As the lesser mashbill at Trace, Blantons was always a easy sipper that people love to share. With the bubble bursting for bourbon, maybe we can get back to Blantons being a regular shelfer
Now you're speaking my language! It's easy. It's a fancy bottle helps make your guest feel just that much more special.
Great review, and appreciate the A/B comparison, very helpful. Beam definitely had a big year in 2024 and doesn't get a enough credit in my opinion. I went out and got the infinite after your review and absolutely love it man. So well balanced and just huge flavor. Will be buying one of these soon. I am a rye fan and unapologetic beam guy. Did you try the little book ch 8? Its a rye blend with some older, high rye bourbon. Super good.
I really appreciate comments like this! It's tough to pull the trigger on very expensive bottles like that, but when it's worth it, o sweet baby Jesus! We did throw that on the channel back in July and it did very well. Two fantastic little books in a row (three I guess if you count the infinite).
@BourbonBarkeep absolutely! When it first came out I saw some mixed reviews. I honestly think a lot of people just don't like beam, or they think they don't like beam. But your review was great and honest. and the the guys at curiosity public named it their whiskey of the year actually. Another great channel. Love when limited releases are findable, actually selling for SRP, and definitely worth the money. Thanks for the reviews brother!
@BourbonBarkeep ch 7 was a banger to! I got a back up bottle of that one. Excited to see what Freddie Noe comes up with this year
I would've if I could've. That applewood is wild and fantastic
It's hard to compare a single barrel against a batch, Old Forester barrel proof varies a TON based on the warehouse and floor.
“Way to know your nuts!” Lol
*takes bow*
It's boring to drink. Almost anything beats it in a blind. It's not hated on enough for that price.
I see no lies. Hasn’t done well in any blind and the price is getting a bit insulting. Bring it back down to $50 and we’ll revisit haha
Two different flavor profiles. It would be a great preference.
Absolutely. With Smokeye Hill being newer to the scene, it hopefully gives someone confidence in pulling the trigger blindly on an $85 bottle or helps them avoid fomo because they want that complexity that old forester gives, even at the higher price.
Love Smokeye Hill! I hope they continue to age the barrel proof offering
Picked up a Smoke Eye Hill CS a few weeks ago and I was surprised how good it was, wish I got a backup. Those OF sbbp bottles are pretty tasty also 😋 Cheers 🥃 💯 👍
You really can't go wrong with either, that's for sure!
I have batch 17 of the peppers and it’s one of my favorite bourbons ever it’s so good for the price
It really is. Have you tried any other batches to compare 17 to? Certainly would prefer it stay that sweet goodness that it is
@ no I haven’t this is my first bottle of it and I was blown away. I will def pick up another when it’s gone. I need to open some others too that I have been saving!
Smokeye is special. Hopefully, it continues to be available online at a fair price.
So far so good at least. You would have to imagine the “word is out” and it’s been available on sites I trust still
Ethan here :-) Great video yet again! Stop by and say hi at Gomer's 75th st. We love to meet whisky enthusiasts
I just may! Let me know when you’re in the Parkville location too.
Thanks for doing this one. Thought the same on the GRFP first time I tried it. Love the Ethan shout out!
On the pepper - I had batch 53 or so. It was good. Got better as it opened up. It was not as impressive as RUclips led me to believe. Have heard a lot of the newer batches aren't as good as the older ones. Glad to hear a vote against the decline. GR - I really like how subtle Green River products are. The old full proof was nice. Looking forward to trying the new bottle as your notes are more up my alley. Not a huge rye spice fan.
I had heard pepper was getting worse as well so was pretty nervous since batch 20 was fantastic. Maybe the round number batches are where it’s at haha
First Bookers purchase, this was to me was a great value. Great nose and wonderful mouth feel.
You picked a better one for sure. Welcome to the channel sir!
Needed to see this review
Happy to help!
Blantons is over-rated. I like it but im not spending days looking for it and paying $100+ like some do. I'd rather pay the $50 for the 1792. Great video!
Maaaan i dont even drink but good to see someone be so passionate about something. Way to go man🫵🏻
Appreciate you still watching!
Man I want a sip
While I do enjoy the sniffing and drinking, the educational stuff really does something for me. I see whiskey as an art crossed with history and science. It makes me feel good if I drink a bunch, but that's not really what I'm in it for anymore most days.
Appreciate the feedback as always. It’s fine line to keep these things short and to the point but also give credit to what these distillers and blenders are actually doing behind the curtain too.
Hating on Blanton's has now become the tater thing to do
Benchmark sib, replaces Blantons an EHT smb for me
That’s quite the value replacement.
I have always though blantons was pretty bland. $30 juice in a $45 decanter. And now that they jacked the price $10 in 5 months I will spend my money on better bottles and let the taters fight over the sub par juice at the allocation drops.
I see no lies my friend.
@BourbonBarkeep sad. While I think blantons is kinds weak. It really isn't s bad flavor. Just not enough and way over hyped and more than double what it should be valued at.
Completely agree. Enjoy the juice but it’s a $35-$40 bottle ($50 if you really twist my arm). Not a hater on it at all. Just can’t stomach paying $60+ on it
@@BourbonBarkeep it's now $79.99 msrp in Alabama as of this month
I just ran into one of these the other day for $65 on a military base (yay, no tax!) I don’t have one those palettes that can describe every note and flavor. But what I can say is that the more I get past the neck, the more pleasant it becomes. Don’t get me wrong, I liked that first hot pour too! I’m going back to get another if they still have some left.
First off thank you/your family for your service. The palate just takes practice and some dedication. Even if you don’t get 100 tasting notes, it at least helps guide (hopefully) on whether you should pull the trigger on a bottle or not. I’ve always enjoyed larceny bp so I was happy they ended on a high note.
I stopped drinking Blanton's in 2000 when I found out their premium Bourbon's, Gold, Silver and SFTB were not offered to we mere Americans. I could care less about packaging and a stupid horse cork. Pay extra for that crap? LOL!!
Never understood distilleries keeping some for only international. Wild turkey 12 for example. What did you substitute your blantons bottle for?
@@BourbonBarkeepLet’s not forget Wild Turkey Rare Breed NCF. WT, we need the OIL!
Gotta love anytime an underdog wins the battle! I like the "hype horsie" but it does often fall short at such a low proof.
That’s a very different matchup if blantons was back at their $50 price tag. I like it too so hopefully it doesn’t come across as hating.
Did you get your hands on any Holladay 8yrs? If so, love to hear what you think vs their regular RH proofs 👍
Sadly not yet but hopefully doing their tour in a month or two. Maybe I get lucky at the gift shop.
@ if you have a date, I have some connections there and will make sure they give you the “special” treatment.
Hey Now! Can you shoot me an email and I'll let you know? bourbonbarkeep@gmail.com
Cheers to Santa! 🥃
Santa always knows. Crazy
I just found this bottle a couple nights ago!! One of my unicorns!
I get dark chocolate covered cherries heavy on the nose
Is that batch 59?
Sadly that bottle passed away a handful of months ago. Delicious stuff though!
thank you for this amazing review. Knob creek isnt hype anymore i guess. But damn it always a great pour
Crazy how a group will just latch onto a bottle like ec18. Obviously it’s a preference for a lot of people.
The saying is "beating a dead horse" I like the Green River full proof. Surprised it did so well on the list. Great list. Great year. Gonna miss you Noah. Godspeed Sir.
It’s just tastes so much farther above that $40-$45 mark. Appreciate you Matt!
Saw a comment over on Reddit where a couple buddies blinded Russell's 15 against Jack 12 and -- for both guys -- the Jack beat the Russell's!
Pretty wild and couple hundred cheaper on secondary. Feels like JD12 was forgotten about from summer on.
I really love all the bottles on your list but no Coy Hill or Heaven Hills 18 & 17? What about Old Fitzgerald 13 VVS?
We only can grade what we acquired. Definitely wish I could even sample the bottles you mentioned.
New Subscriber. Recently discovered your channel and I truly enjoy your reviews. I noticed Noah’s football picks were tapering off on Patreon; which now makes sense. I hope you keep up the сhannel Curtis!
Will be massive hole I can’t fill but it was. Very very fun ride. I’m going to keep the ball going and see where it takes us. Appreciate you hanging around!
Not sure where you're purchasing but here in Virginia all liquor is priced at or around MSRP and the Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend sells for $179.99. I purchased one a couple of months ago, and it's been hitting the shelves again this past week with the recent allocation drops at the same price.
I’m out in KC and sadly it’s still $225-$250. $180 hurts but easier to justify for sure.
I like channels that are starting out rather than someone with a $10000 background. Nice video.
You’ve definitely come to the ground floor so welcome!
Nice tasting notes! The price stuff seemed rather abstract. Not alot of 18 year legacy bottle this widely available
Just cracked my C924 open right after this video dropped. I usually like them more after they're open for a bit. Still haven't opened B524 yet for some reason. Maybe soon. I do agree they should have waited to change to the new look.
Time helped b quite a bit.
$85 at costco
Costco is a channel favorite. Sadly I’ve only run into 1 bookers at Costco. KC Costco has been a let down in the liquor arena
Yet to try Jimmy's yet but so far Springfield has been my favorite batch in a couple years . 🍻
Springfield has gotten a lot of love in the comments. It’s a delightful pour. Felt like this was a stronger bookers year than normal
Love KC15 & KC12
Love for you to do some bardstown stuff👍👍
It literally just hit MO a couple weeks ago. They’re in the pool and hope they pop up soon.
