2024 BOTTLES OF THE YEAR Episode 0249

[@roscoejenkins4221]

Finally got my Westland brownie bottle... Delicious juice

[@BourbonDrop]

@roscoejenkins4221 Glad you're liking it! 🥃

[@B_Aug]

That Old Carter was phenomenal!!! Great list! #BourbonBrothers #BourbonTwins 🥃

[@BourbonDrop]

So well crafted! #BourbonBrothers #BourbonTwins 🥃

[@kutlasshighproof]

Great list brother! I thought I was crazy for having the WT 70th Anniversary bottle on my list. Keep grinding! 🥃

[@BourbonDrop]

@kutlasshighproof Thanks! Not crazy at all. That bottle has been crushing it for me lately! 🥃

[@RandalErickson-hb5vr]

2024 was a great year for bourbons and especially ryes. Hoping to see more inventory and lower prices in 2025

[@BourbonDrop]

Totally agree! 🥃

[@definitiveenergy1878]

Great list! We have similar taste.

[@BourbonDrop]

@@definitiveenergy1878 Thanks! 👊🏾🥃

[@nickp5511]

Michters B S is awesome!

[@BourbonDrop]

Yes, Sir !!! 🥃

[@johnshenk-vm2ic]

So my 3: Remus Reserve #8, Green River Full Proof, and Maker's Heart Release. Cheers!

[@BourbonDrop]

Nice list! Remus was a great release this year! 🥃

[@lmg30thomas4]

Solid list

[@BourbonDrop]

Thanks! 🥃

[@StevenScone]

Larceny C924 and JDSiBBP Rye was on my list. I didn't include samples. Haven't had the Georgia Heartwood but love the Toasted. The rest of those I haven't had.

[@BourbonDrop]

@@StevenScone Larceny has been killing it the last few years! 🥃

[@Seoul_Brough]

Great list Myron. I am not surprised Old Carter took the 1 and 2 spots. I’m a fan of their bourbons, American whiskeys and ryes. Wifey got me a bottle of CA batch 3 for Christmas and was excited. Cheers and Happy New Year!🥃

[@BourbonDrop]

YOUR WIFE IS A KEEPER!!! 🤣 Happy New Year! 🥃

[@tknanap]

Tower Beer, Wine and Spirits in Atlanta, GA is awesome! I bought a ASW Fiddler Wheated there in Sept and it was fantastic.

[@BourbonDrop]

It's such a great pour! 🥃

[@whiskeybidness]

Picked up a Stagg 24C at VA ABC on Friday evening. Must have just been a drop because there were 4 on the shelf. I have to say the 24C is DAMN good! Been sipping over the weekend and I’m looking forward to where it sits in a couple months!

[@BourbonDrop]

Nice grab! Just picked o e up Friday, myself. Not the ABC, though. Shot the review and blind with 24B. The results were interesting. 🥃

[@whiskeybidness]

@ Interested to see what interesting means. I’ve only had a sample of the B and sometimes I feel like the samples don’t always do justice compared to the bottle

[@johnshenk-vm2ic]

Great 2024 List Myron. I finally found the Larceny C924 on Christmas Eve as well as the VA ABC pick (in the same store!). Loving the VA ABC pick. I assume since they are the same proof, that they may be the same batch (or barrel). Looking forward to blinding those!

[@BourbonDrop]

Nice! I can't wait until I see the C924 at the VA ABC. I'm picking up backups! 🥃

[@nickp5511]

I have a RY3 Madeira finish that’s awesome but I still need a RY3 Light Whiskey!

[@BourbonDrop]

The Light Whiskey is a must-have! 🥃

[@nickp5511]

Great list! They are about 3 hours up the freeway from me in the town of Merced. Pronounced Mer-said. I have a 130 proof pick that’s really nice.

[@BourbonDrop]

Thanks for helping me out! I'll bet it doesn't drink anywhere close to 130 either! 🥃

[@Best_Overserved_--_No_Ice]

Looking forward to that Tumblin' Dice DO review.

[@BourbonDrop]

It's coming soon! Thanks! 🥃

[@RodneyHenderson357]

Yes ASW Heartwood is a true Banger. Pricey but worth it especially store pick.

[@BourbonDrop]

Agreed!! 🥃

[@jeffkastl1290]

Great list Myron! I've never found an Old Carter at even close to a decent price. Maybe someday. Cheers and Happy New Year 🥃

[@BourbonDrop]

They can be elusive! Keep on searching! Happy New Year! 🥃

[@nickp5511]

Russell’s 15yr is top tier bourbon! The Larceny C924 is one of the best Larceny BP’s

[@BourbonDrop]

Totally Agree! 🥃

[@maddie4077]

Mir said like the Merced river in Califonia

[@BourbonDrop]

Thanks! 🥃

[@Kitsapwhiskeysociety]

You in the PNW? We scooped up the second half of 17-202, it is the bomb for sure.

[@BourbonDrop]

I'm with Pour Decisions, not sure what PNW is. You're right! 17-202 is a beast! 🥃

[@Kitsapwhiskeysociety]

Pacific Northwest, we are in Washington State. Jonathan at Westward is awesome.

[@GLENBECKHAM]

“Mer-said” is how you say it. Cheers 🥃 Also should samples and single barrels be included in a top of the year list???

[@BourbonDrop]

Thanks! SiBs can be questionable for a best of the year list. Remember, that's what made Henry McKenna become unfindable! 🤣 I think good whiskey deserves to be included. I wanted to highlight the best whiskeys of the year that I've tasted. The Russell's 15 was a sample, but it's not a SiB. 🥃

[@roscoejenkins4221]

Solid list...that ASW is BOMB Where did you find the tumbling dice?

[@BourbonDrop]

@roscoejenkins4221 Yes, it is! I got the TD @ Esquire, but I was told they are all gone. 🥃

[@javariashford7491]

Great list & love the content always! Have you tried the Ben Holladay Soft Red Wheat Rickhouse?

[@BourbonDrop]

Thanks! I did at a bourbon meet-up. It didn't leave a lasting impression on the brain. If I had a bottle and tried it again, it may have won a spot on the list. 🥃

[@henryharris6082]

Another great review of some great bottles!! Do they ship those barrel picks that yall did with Westward to Alabama? We have such a hard time finding websites that even ship to Alabama smh!! I would really like to purchase those bottles if possible! Thanks in advance #Bottledropfam

[@BourbonDrop]

Thanks, Henry! I just checked their website, and I don't believe they do. I counted 35 states that they ship to and did not see Alabama. The only state with an A was Arizona. Sorry, bruh. #Bottledropfam 🥃

[@henryharris6082]

Dang I really wanted those bottles that yall did the pick on brother 😢!! We is always last to the party here in Alabama smh!!

[@BourbonDrop]

@henryharris6082 [e-mail] hit me up. I'll make sure you get something. 🥃

[@shredward666]

Found the Remus VIII for $79 at Costco. Really good for that price but wouldn’t go over $100. I think I enjoyed the 7 just a little more 🥃

[@BourbonDrop]

That's a steal. I'm waiting on the 9 to drop. Hopefully, IX's price trends downward! 🥃

[@loveandlight8286]

Omg sooo true larceny sleep on!!!

[@BourbonDrop]

Larceny has been releasing some bangers in the last few years! 🥃

[@Lawyerboyleslie72]

Please tell us what they are. Hard to tell

[@BourbonDrop]

I Just checked the video, and I named every bottle except the Michter's Barrel Strength Rye. I know they get hard to see when watching on a phone, so I try and say every name. It also cuts down on my editing time and keeps me from having to put each name under every bottle. Thanks 🥃

[@Lawyerboyleslie72]

@BourbonDrop thats the one I needed. Thanks

[@woody2875]

stick with grippos and grape soda

[@BourbonDrop]
