I'm on the opposite end for Ben Holladay. Love it. Just goes to show how everyone's pallets can differ.

You guys are absolutely crazy. What has happened to your pallets? JD Double Barrelled is one of the best whiskies I have ever tasted! Also, i have NEVER been disappointed in a Stagg.

I waited hours outside my VA ABC for the drop. Was first in line! Picked up the Old Fitz 10 year, woo hoo. Took her home and cracked it with buddies. That was a long wait for a handsome decanter!

Thanks for the tip on Holladay. You're possibly the only channel saying it's disappointing. Appreciate the honesty.

Two of my favorite bottles this year, were two of your worst - JD twice-barreled rye and the Heaven Hill 20-year. 🤷🏻♂️

Funny you say the Stagg 23B drinks hot. I've only had 1 pour out of mine so far as a total blind picked from the shelf by my partner. I thought it drank complex but pegged the proof somewhere around 110. I was shocked at the bottle reveal. I think my guess was Hardin's Creek Jacob's Well. Definitely tasted a bit off profile to me but not in a bad way. Also, try the Ben Holladay Soft Red Wheat Rickhouse proof. I've just had an in-store sample so far but damn if it wasn't tasty. Excited to open the bottle.

It would be interesting to know the environmental factors surrounding the really good bottles vs less stellar (Remus for example). Was it warmer, cooler during that aging for example. I bet someone knows the information

I agree on the Ben Holladay. It is just ok. I disagree on the JD Twice Barreled. I just tried it again to make sure I am not crazy. Mine is burnt campfire, little marshmallow and cinnamon. But its all good. Everyone has their own palate. For MGP this year I enjoyed the Pinhook 8 and and Penelope 9. I passed on the Remus Repeal Reserve this year because of last years was such a disappointment. Keep up the good content.

I love the honesty and not protecting the "sacred cow" bottles or distilleries. Even if I don't agree with you two 100% on your choices, you didn't hold back and try to be wishy-washy in order to not offend a distillery. That's what keeps me coming back!
