- This is a bottle we missed by 1 week in the gift shop, but weren't even mad about when we heard about it. After drinking it do we still feel that same?

Dans relationship with tempting fate is a committed one
I had a pour of this back in March at the Turkey gift shop with Bo. Was completely floored by it. Begged for a bottle. They said no. Ran back home, found it for $450 and bought immediately. No ragrets.
‘It’s not gonna break’
Flashbacks to the MWND bottle that got broken *exactly* that way lmao
Finally stumbled across a bottle of this in a very cool bottle shop that was selling it at MSRP. I had to grab it. I love the CNC, but even based on the neck pour of this CNF...holy crap! This is a banger!
My bourbon sherpa buddy has a bottle he has yet to crack and I can’t wait to try it. ProTip for those who like me will likely never encounter a bottle in the wild (let alone at SRP) - there are bottles of Kentucky Spirit that are also sourced from CN-F and that - at least in my limited experience - taste better than yer average bird.
I have to say I'm personally glad the price on this bottle was so high. Walked into my local spec's and the guy I talked to said that the rewards members who got calls passed on it so I had the chance. Best bottle I've ever owned by far.
Russells single rickhouse CNF was amazing! I was not able to land a bottle but have had several pours and it is one of the best pours I have ever had!
Nice review! Understand the fixation on how it’s “just good” I was fortunate my store owner friend sold me two of them at his cost 225.00!! Top pour! Cheers
Generations crushes this for me. CNF is well balanced and special in that way, but Generations has that “bourbon extract” thing going on like few bottles do (King of Kentucky and Coy Hill to name a few). CNF is super enjoyable but it can’t compete with that level of concentration of flavor IMO.
Took me awhile to come around on this bottle but I now place it above all of the RR13s and various store picks as the best Russell’s I’ve had.
I still have two of the 22 & 23......very good juice!
Stumbled into a bottle at a random store on a random day. Price tag was 299 USD before tax, so I didn't bite right away but eventually decided to buy it, lol! Nose & palate are stellar. An easy 9/10 & better than the previous CN-C release imo. The steep price is a big hindrance for me to say it's an "immediate" buy. If it was under 200 bucks then it's worth grabbing. I have both the 13 year B2 and a private select 10 year and they both are not too far off in terms of drinking experience to that of the the SR CNF. For a fraction of the price.
Really enjoyed the 13. Passed on this bottle since it was 350, and found an MSRP EHT store pick but I was definitely tempted.
Oh that looks Fantastic!
It was a great pour!
I live in central Illinois and i was in uper Wisconsin at a woodmans supermarket and they had 2 2023 camp Nelsons i bought it for 198 i almost walked away so glad i didnt
At a bottle drop this past Saturday, a guy brought one of those for our tailgate bar. He has 4 of them.
He walked into a store and found it. Turns out each store in the chain got one. So he drove to each location and bought the one they had.
South Florida ABC stores had these on the shelf for 250 plus tax. Instant buy
This was probably my favorite pour from last year.
It's definitely up there!
Almost broke it! LOL. I really enjoyed this bottle last year. Was fortunate to even find it $50 under MSRP. I need to revisit it now that it's had a few months to open up.
Easily my top bourbon of 2023. I put this in a blind with 23 GTS, 4 roses LE, ECBP C923, and generations on numerous occasions. CNF came out on top every time.
The 2023 4R LE?
Cheesy New Foil?
@@camsmith3065 Yes the 2023.
@@adonichristie4435 Lol not sure if it’s as good as a cheesy gold foil. I tried an 89 cgf and it was probably the best bourbon I’ve tasted.
This was the best thing i tasted last year. Unfortunately, I was never able to get my own bottle.
I'd like to stop by on a Friday that you're open and bring a special bottle the public doesn't know about yet. The blender knows Macaulay and speaks highly of him. It's from a Kentucky Distillery. I don't want to give it away here, but this is a great opportunity for Boubon Junkies to do a world 1st review before this brand explodes.
I've bought about 8 of these. Many have gone to friends but I've drank 2 myself. They are the BTAC of Wild Turkey. I think in a couple of years people are going to be desperate to get these.
Best modern turkey product
Just got a bottle of JD 12 for Michigan liquor list price.
Would love to see you compare this to Generations.
I have this bottle. Very nice.
It's in the Blanton's sftb, Stagg Jr, Taylor BP tier
Not a BTAC competitor.
Not quite as good as taylor or stagg jr but maybe little better then Blanton's sftb
Here in OH, the high msrp killed the secondary market for it so you can get it really close to msrp
Cheers!
$300 is too much for any whiskey imo. That includes Springbank. Conversly there's no scotch that can compete with the $60 I spent on ECBP's or Stagg Jr's 😂
Although the Kilkerran 8yr 57.1 from 2019 is an awesome bottle!
The widest part of the bulb is 2oz in a glen I think that’s what y’all have there
Can we get like a behind the counter overhead cam to see the bottle “tricks”
I paid 399, plus shipping for it. Think it was worth it? First pour I really enjoyed it, but not sure if I'd pay that much for it again. I'd buy it next year at msrp, but I'm not paying much of a markup again for it. But maybe my opinion will change when I taste it blind...
OMG Sean shot a 10 on a par 3! lol.
You're a real one for this
Don't care if it's this bottle, RR13, epic CN picks or 2003...Saffell bats so far above it's weight. Still findable for MSRP and for the price in a blind hits with any of these.
This is 100% true. I wouldn't say we enjoy Saffell more BUT it's an awesome bottle of whiskey and under-rated/under valued for sure. I have one bunkered. That will be a cool dusty some day too!
You guys NAILED IT!! New Riff SB is THE banger and Baker’s 7 sucks ass.
15mins still here for the notes bois!
Would you rather have this, or a 4🌹 LE 135th?
Personally this but our 135th review is coming in the next month.
are you guys going to be releasing more bottle share bags? i guess i missed the drop :0
Early May!
@@BourbonJunkies cant wait! thought i heard in a recent vid yall were releasing more but wasnt sure!
3 seconds in... Like... for Cookie. @1:44 Noooo, Sean, that's not... well ok.
Better than 13th colony double oak?
👀
i traded a bottle of 13th colony for a CNF. im pumped
@@matthew7469 secondary market on the double Oaked 13th is more expensive that the Russell’s rickhouse, strange.
My bad it was a 13th colony 15th anniversary. I did trade a double oaked for a four roses le and old fitz 19 though.
Please do Generations review soon 🙏🏼
Someday when we open ours we will review it!

Dumb mosquitos.... Must go to school at Ann Arbor!
When we going to get a brewzel collab????? Maybe go on a burbon hunt with TJ???
Great video … is it a buy at $400 for you today?
didn't the Single Rickhouse CNC top their WT ranking? Which included a bunch of legit LE's?
Woo hoo
I see this for 399 at my local grocery store.
Brewzle Collab.
What happened to the dumb mosquitoes? These new ones are clever and aware.... they hide in crafty spots they don't get scared and fly up into the air for easy kill. They fly low and evade.... if you miss them on the first slap good luck ever finding it again, it's going to go hide and then wait till the middle of the night when you're asleep
Ah, another impossible to find bottle, this video might as well not exist.
After having this, the people who say this is as good as a nice store pick are just filled with cope.
Cookie does not approve of your bottle-kicking antics. I'm okay with it.
That's a fair observation
This bottle has lost in every blind it has been in for me. Now it's been up against some really good bottles as it should be given it's price tag, but it is just a good normal bourbon that drinks a little hot. Every Generations and other special release turkey product is better, including wild turkey 12 year at 101 proof available for 200 online in several places. The only reason I can think of anyone raving about this bottle is because they spent a small fortune on it. It is just a slightly better Russell's pick.
For a fabulous delicious single malt scotch, yes I will happily pay $300.00. For a Bourbon? No.
Blinded this against RR13 (batch 2) and disco 11. CNF came in second. Clearly better than Disco 11, but clearly inferior to RR13
