It definitely surprised me blind. I dont know if I would have put it ahead of Raconteur. But I did! I did move both forward though, because after filming, I couldn't stop thinking about #14, which turned out to be the Coy.
GTS is my unicorn for sure and never tried. I love Stagg 24A and Coy Hill and think those two are the best of the year for me, even over RR15. I'm not a huge straight rye fan, but would consider buying the New Riff as I love the rest of their stuff. The only other one I'd put up against the CH, Stagg, and GTS is the SFTB Blanton's. It's awesome too and they're all in my taste profile wheelhouse.
Cheers! Be stoked that you're drinking better whiskey than I've ever had. I just haven't had the right financial or social moment to try stuff this good but I still enjoy watching you drink it. And maybe someday I'll have the occasion. In heaven or down here! (They serve nothing but ouzo in hell).
Thank you putting out these best of videos right now. Everyone is doing advent calendars, and I don’t care about those. I guess the algorithm does though.
@@timfishback6137 i decided not to do one this year. They do well for views, but I dont want to do what everyone else is doing. I appreciate this. Cheers
The coy hill nose is soooo good, couldn’t agree more with that one.
@@Atarizlol it is one of the best ever.
Was just in Phoenix 6 hours ago , only a layover though. Wow, new riff for the W, love it. Got to find me one of those. Cheers DB
That is cool! Hope you have a nice vaca! Where you headed?
@ I went through twice already, to Palm Springs for my Ironman event.
Woodinville 8 yr was my fav. Haven't cracked my RR15. The hell with BTAQ because I won't find those.
@@dM-xz8fu i am a very lucky dude. I feel ya. BTAC is HARD to get!
I absolutely love the sherry finished malted rye from new riff. Wish I would have bought a backup!
It is fantastic.
My money is on RR15 to win it all - my favorite pour of the year!
@@danw6530 it is definitely up there for sure!
What is RR15?
Good call moving them both forward! Want to try both of them and both distillers are putting out absolute bangers
@@houstonSolo i thought it might be controversial, but it HAD to be done.
Great video Buddy!! Very interesting results.
@@JimMatthews-nr6xc I am glad I put both through. I had no idea what either was, but I felt neithet could be eliminated.
Didn't see the new riff winning for sure but, I've never tried it or a Coy hill ever. I definitely trust your palate
Next time we meet up, we have to have some coy hill for sure!
Now compare New Riff Sherry to Sagamore Sherry.
Have they released a cask strength?
@ I don’t know but the one I have is 106. The NR I have is 111. So it makes for a good blind.
love it. keep it up. can't wait to see the champion
Cheers buddy thank you!
Wow! Down goes several kings! I'm not even sure the NR Sherry would be in my top 10! Going to have to experiment soon... Cheers!

13th Colony Double Oak???
Next round! #spoilers
Very cool video buddy
Thanks buddy!
Great blind 🥃
It kind of blew my mind.

@Concert-Fan Honestly, I agree with ALL of this. SFTB is always a banger. And yes the 24a and coy are both slightly ahead of Rr15.

If you ever find yourself in Arizona!

I’m with you. No interest in advent calendar videos either
I can't believe [insert bourbon] won bourbon of the year!
@@AaronCarioto lol love this.
