[@MrCritterJohn]

Russells 15 was actually 2nd place according to the overall rankings

[@stuffandwhiskey]

Correct, although that nuance got lost as we were hanging out, having fun, and not as focused on revealing in ranking order per se. On cumulative points, with one point for where each pour placed and the lowest score winning, the rankings would be: 1st: Bookers Rye (4 points) 2nd: Russell’s 15 (6 points) 3rd: Coy Hill (8 points) 4th: Disco 12 (12 points)

[@romesy1]

Great flight! Fun to see RR15 up against Coy hill. Is there a reason RR15 was “ranked” lower when it finished 1/2/3 and CH was 1/3/3?

[@stuffandwhiskey]

Our rankings were individual but we just did the reveal with last and then A to C for ease of reveal. They were all exceptionally special pours, just different.

[@SvenDryden]

I think the reveal matched Josh's individual scoring, but you're right, collectively I think the rankings would be C->A->B->D, putting RR15 in 2nd overall.

[@stuffandwhiskey]

On cumulative points, with one point for where each pour placed and the lowest score winning, the rankings would be: 1st: Bookers Rye (4 points) 2nd: Russell’s 15 (6 points) 3rd: Coy Hill (8 points) 4th: Disco 12 (12 points) My brain was a little blown during this flight-even before the crazy twists-and I’m already bad at math. 😂

[@romesy1]

@@stuffandwhiskey makes sense!

[@arbeckWA]

I do want to call out the higher proof = more flavor. It can mean that, and often does. But it doesn't always mean that. If you had a 145 proof barrel and watered it down to 120 for bottling, you'd be adding more water than if you had a 110 proof barrel that you bottled at 100. Basically water and ethanol are both pretty flavorless. The maximum amount of flavor will generally be at barrel proof (which can be any proof). And adding water will generally reduce flavor (though reduction doesn't mean make it worse). But the finished proof doesn't tell you how much water was added.

[@motohead077]

The 1st part of that is partly true. More water would be added during the bottling process or post aging, though not necessarily overall. Some whiskies are watered down more pre-aging. If a whiskey was barreled at 100-110P, it almost always had more water added (pre-aging) than a whiskey barreled at 125P.

[@bobczarnecki3479]

I've never been so jealous.

[@stuffandwhiskey]

We hear ya! We’re rewatching and jealous of ourselves. 😆 Appreciate you watching!

[@1stkazoo754]

For the record, although I did understand what Josh was saying about the cream soda, it did take me a minute because he didn’t connect the dots like Erin said. And in all fairness to Erin, Josh has left dots unconnected before that were more egregious and Erin’s clarifications have been absolutely necessary in the past so it seemed reasonable to do so here as well. Also I thought the gift was the twist, even though I saw it coming with Justin’s build up. So I was even more completely taken by surprise at the end lol 😂

[@timfishback6137]

The Coy Hill should be in 3rd based on your rankings.

[@stuffandwhiskey]

Had some other comments on this. You are correct. They were all so good and we were more focused on hanging out and fun and less focused on order of reveal since our individual rankings varied so much.

[@SportsVigor]

Whatever Justin does for a living, I want to do so I can gift insane bottles to friends 😂

[@Just_One_More_Bourbon]

Cheers to good friends

[@r2skyvader]

Sometimes blinds are not always telling. I’ve found that some bottles can really influence your palate. I’ve found Blantons amplifies the bitter notes in other bottles. Just last night, I laughed at a guy spitting out a JDSB rye after just drinking a wheated bourbon. Too much of a contrast.

Not sure how your scoring system works, but the actual order should have been Bookers, RR15, JDCH & Disco 12.

Correct. We were just hanging out and having fun, and weren’t paying that close of attention to the detailed rankings.

Bro in brown, Mitchell's deli doesn't sound like it's an Italian deli. In every city the best deli is the Italian deli. Of course I may be a little bit biased 😂

Disco 12 > Disco 11?

Easily. We weren’t the biggest Disco 11 fans. It was good-fine-but we didn’t end up buying a bottle. We’d buy two Disco 12s though.

[@johng5710]

That's pretty much been the consensus on most of the whiskey tube channels, and I agree. Disco 11 is still very good though.

[@JoeFults-xo7sd]

Thanks but nobody outside Kentucky is ever finding that Bookers Rye under 2.5K (which is just silly) and finding the Coy Hill under ~1K (which is equally silly) is a minor miracle, or maybe just a miracle. Otherwise, cool video!

[@stuffandwhiskey]

Even full secondary on either of those isn’t anywhere near that high. That said, sometimes whiskey isn’t about availability or even value and you just want to have fun with your friends. That’s kinda what this one was all about.
