Watching Sean's descent into intoxication was awesome. Looking fwd to all the 2025 videos.

[@Liz_DrB]

I hope Riki drove Dan home 🤣

[@fredknotts4031]

Love to see the Penelope !0 year Single Barrel get the love. I don't have the luck to get real high end BTAC or expensive stuff so seeing a bottle I managed to snag make it so high jacks me up. I loved it too. I am a Penelope fan but how good this is still honestly surprised me.

[@bradsneed7329]

My wife won a GTS 2024 in our state lottery for $149. Never thought I'd own this bottle. So stoked to crack it with friends.

[@TheMarcopix]

I'd have cracked it at the store....

[@49erFanMatt]

Great job guys!! I miss the old 45 minute videos taking us through your whole process… but this was clean and concise. Really well done!

[@landonreddick5176]

I love watching them drink the best whiskey of the year while I sip on my Old Grand Dad 114

[@dplunk13]

I made the same mistake of drinking Disco 12 after having RR15 and RR15 is so good it makes the fantastic Disco 12 seem just ok. I guarantee Disco 12 on it's own or after something that isn't just incredible good would score really well.

[@landon_rady]

Disco 11 is phenomenal and reminds me of RR15. Makes sense though cuz it’s 73% a 13 year wild turkey product.

[@masonreed9328]

Disco 11 was a weird pour for me. I thought it was just very “ok” down to the last like 3 oz I had left. Those last 3 oz however was some of the best whiskey I’ve ever tasted. Guess I should’ve waited longer for it to open up.

[@ericchambers9914]

You clowns are so entertaining and hilarious! Loved the BDS commentary and I know the exact videos you were referencing. Happy New Year and thanks for another banger! 😀

[@mattkoch8363]

I also took ballroom dancing classes lol I actually choreographed my first dance with my wife because of that. Great video as always!

[@bootguy63]

I do think that the 1st 2 tastings should be rotated back through because I believe that could be junky numbers.

[@ChrisSimpson-j6x]

Great picks, GTS 24 is a monster. I personally like the 13th Colony better than Russell's 15, but that's my pallet. I'm excited about the 4 roses because I've got that bottle, but haven't cracked it yet.

[@kirklandeche937]

Great show as always! Happy New Year! Cheers!

[@tonys4039]

The body mass difference is clearly evident in the final 4

[@jashsu]

Giving you guys props for having the integrity to put your own bottling into the blind. Cheers!

[@daveperfetti2802]

I've only had a pour of GT Stagg. Awesome. But I'm lucky enough to have 3 bottles of Stagg. So good

[@CalebsComics]

So glad I was able to grab this year's GTS. It is phenomenal!

[@dialect1luv]

i think disco 12 and bourbon lore holladay got screwed over by rr15 and gts respectively

[@bluedevil0111]

💯

[@rrkaminski9]

Agreed that's 100% what it seemed like.

[@MichaelR-bz8ci]

Wrong. Just bc you don’t have the other bottles LOL

[@zoolander221]

Happy New Year to you both and your loved ones, keep it coming in 25. Cheers Junkies

[@Dad.son_drums]

You guys need to include 1845 Distilling Co. into your list for 2025. They have 3 mashes of Bourbon and just released their first Whiskey. They got double gold medal in San Francisco on 2 of their Bourbons and were top 3. You’ll find them on Total Wine now. Extremely worth it!

[@tonylopez6213]

It is always so interesting and funny to see how different most whiskeys do on a blind compared to when they were praised on their own :)

[@xJoey2213x]

I have 12 Evernorth samples coming in next week, so excited, wanted to try one before I became a member, can’t wait to try everything!

[@C_GOODIES]

RR15 all day for me. Every time I have a sip it changes my life.

[@sweeterdanpuddin]

Love the honest feedback. No censorship here! Keep it coming gents!

[@ericellis2729]

How long did this take to film? Palate fatigue would've set in about halfway for me. Kudos to you guys!

[@MrUwphotography]

I appreciate your thoughts. I don't like Four Roses and I'll never find it. I've never seen GTS, I doubt I will. I have Russell's 15. Best bourbon ever!

[@StevenScone]

I had a sample of GTS and Russell's 15. Russell's cams out on top. My whiskey of the year was Old Dominick Cask Strength. Cheers yall

[@stevefromchicago8277]

That was hard work! 👏 well done

[@shawngilbertson]

well done as always - thank you!

[@jasonbaily1707]

I like you guys, if y'all are visiting in Oregon, specifically keizer for a search let me know. I've got a trailer to sleep in and a firepit to relax too. I love your content and an a bourbon "junkie " too. JB

[@keithkcweld5188]

Love you guys. 2025 will be a good year for you.

[@ikeyeet8312]

JAcobs well 211 is my top this year ( i didnt find it till jan)

[@RVWhiskey]

Little book infinite. “Our bad.” Hard cut to the next bottle lol!!!!

[@BeardMan01]

This year, my #1 is either Old Fitz BIB 10 or this years Chattanooga Founders Edition. I'm not including my Willett purple tops or George T on the list, as they're not regularly attainable for anyone, really.

[@JD_Stat]

Yall are hard f’n core on the scores 😂😅😂

[@javieracosta3439]

Agree with #2 being an amazing bourbon. I only had a sample of one and it was the best sip I had of 2024. I do own an RR15 and the Four Roses 16 yr just unfurls it's flavors so much better. Yeah Id love a GTS but...dat shit aint happenin' Happy New Year and thanks for all the vids!

[@woknred1910]

who does #2 work for?

[@ADHDWhiskey]

2024 Year of the Rye!

[@michaelhogan7866]

My dudes, you put a driving range in your studio so you could write it off! Genius! And I’m jealous I didn’t think of that!

[@bluedevil0111]

Would like to have seen Jacob’s Well 211 in the mix.

[@davidvoth7218]

Is the Penelope Estate Collection 10 Year the high rye or low rye bottle?

[@martinmorris2570]

Did a little research myself. The bottle shown in the video is 105 proof which would indicate it’s the High Rye 36%. The other 10 year recipe was bottled at 98 proof.

[@jonathanharder2895]

Love the Bob does sports references!

[@SRVandDtrouble]

I don't have GTS or RR15 but... I do have Elkwood Reserve which is a 15 yr. Turkey distilled by Buffalo Trace sooooo.

[@joe.unfiltered]

I LOVE seeing RR15 in the top 3. Especially after Dan knocked it so hard 😂

[@vette199925]

What's your thoughts on willett purple and green tops?..surprised they didnt make your list

[@danielcarrillo9781]

BDS reference - outstanding!

[@dadkicks]

Nice video guys

[@JoeyDonuts92]

Excited to see where Little Book Infinite ends up. Got a bottle waiting to be cracked!! E: it came in last! LMAO! Sean nuked the scoring on it

[@142spy]

Don't get discouraged it's my favorite so far of 2024 but I haven't gotten to try the Russells 15 yet.

[@bleachx1]

My only question is why; after they raved about it so hard in their solo review of it.

[@williamb7327]

I just tried the infinite before new years and it was amazing. Will definitely be looking for one. Enjoy🎉

[@joshreilly1960]

I bought one of these at release. I enjoyed the Infinite when I tried it (bought the bottle for my graduation). I was nervous when I bought the bottle but it seems to be super well regarded amount Beam enjoyers.

[@kamahhl]

They gave it a glowing review, and Sean tanked it now lol

[@TheMarcopix]

Good as always. But now, do a 'best of' with bottles people can actually find. 🙃

[@Dafoodmaster]

yall should make a video on your lifting routine

[@rysclark]

Love this!!

[@FilmMavericks]

What exactly is the 4Roses? You didn’t say which recipe it was.

[@MrRockingRilo]

Guys enjoy your stuff but I bought two bottles of Infinity Blend at $150 a pop based on your over-the-moon recommendation. Haven't opened one yet and to be honest I'm not really excited about it anymore. I understand things vary from blind to blind - bourbons have great days, and only good days - but how did things change so much? Is this the same bottle you tasted previously? Tough to get a read on your palates when there is little consistency. For me these videos aren't just entertainment, they actually inform expensive purchasing decisions. I wish I could sample everything before I buy it, but that just isn't reality for a regular guy. So I rely on the advice of others - particularly the experts like yourselves. Anyway happy 2025!

[@toons2158]

Go job guys, CHEERS!🎉

[@joshbieker7388]

Crazy talk. That George T stagg was great but in no world was it as good as that RR15. Cheers

[@MichaelR-bz8ci]

Not crazy. Your palate is not like theirs 😅

[@Nick-rt3if]

Did you guys try out A. Smith Bowman cask strength batch 3?

[@daveperfetti2802]

Love that bottle. I just bought one. Well worth the $130 that I spent

[@Nick-rt3if]

@daveperfetti2802 great price. I traded for mine. Not sure if I open it or save for special occasion.

[@tameturkey101]

They tried a sample on a livestream, but didn’t get a whole bottle

[@robertpatterson3106]

I find it interesting that GTS score went up the second time. It was the one that did, even though you like the smell and taste better of 13th colony. I think it is just more hype of the BTac GTS isn’t that good

[@bld2342]

Which Westward was in your tasting?

[@tomfrengillo]

Milestone #2

[@brineshrimp8603]

I’d love to get me a Penelope Single Barrel!

[@Matthew_M1821]

Currently have an opportunity to pay 400 for a GTS 2024. I would actually open it and enjoy it but just having trouble swallowing that type of money. Thoughts on pulling the trigger on it? I've never tried one before.

[@Chris-de2qc]

If you can still pay all your bills and mortgage, yes.

[@TomMorrow78]

Had GTS, Coy Hill, Blanton's SFTB & Btac Handy together. GTS by a mile.

[@LeatherDaddy97]

I blinded gts, a jack daniels barrel strength pick and wt 12 yr and the gts took last.

[@Concert-Fan]

Is this list published anywhere in writing? Don't see a link.

[@primitivefpv6660]

I missed the recipe on the four roses any catch it?

[@Best_Overserved_--_No_Ice]

OESV

[@mladjoRiChi]

But it’s Brett Elliott 16 years old pick! 😅

[@Chris-de2qc]

So unattainable lol

[@dustinzieg1950]

Yes I will treasure the result of this blind, great vid

[@rflinch]

Great review! What is the full name of the Westford that came in 5th?

[@jamesw6899]

Westward Milestone B2. Good luck….

[@travissmith1303]

Rus 15 for the prediction

[@gabetinsley4540]

A Bourbon Junkies/Bob Does Sports collab would set the soul alight!

[@scottberger2753]

Which of the Four Roses Private Select was in the list? OESO?

[@brandonsparks]

It was a 16 year OESV, special release at the distillery on Father's Day

[@BarryBenson00]

I think it was the Father's day 16 year old release. OESV

[@DiegoG.whiskey]

I didn't do a blind..but we had Russell 15 then GTS...GTS won...so not counting those....that's tough

[@rbwhanson]

Not an advertisement either, but I SWEAR by ZBiotics now. If I know I'm about to do some big daddy drinking, I'm downing a ZBiotics 30-60 minutes before. Will it ensure no hangover...no. Will it cut that hangover at least in half, YES.

[@danielodom7053]

Wooo!!!

[@rlax4281]

Bourbon Junkies, despite the last place scoring, would you say Little Book infinite is still a must buy?

[@BourbonJunkies]

I mean honestly I think it got trashed by the other whiskeys around it. Idk if it's a must but for everyone, re-drank it later by itself and it's still good. Very standout as a Bookers product though in that lineup

[@thomaskmfdm]

I do wonder if order isn't sometimes influencing the scores a lot seeing bottles that tasted directly after a rye that possibly blew out your pallet score significantly lower

[@CharlesWalhingford]

That will absolutely influence your pallet.

[@stevefromchicago8277]

Yes, great point, and a sip of water doesn’t reset your pallet

[@codyc.208]

Four Roses coming out of nowhere!

[@ctyler8269]

What recipe was this?

[@ShareenaBond]

I wish you could have heard me fussing at Sean through my phone over his scoring of ECBP B524! 😂

[@ChristopherNeeme]

You never said which batch of the Dragon's Milk Toasted made it in here. Should be a 2024 followed by a single letter on the front label. The one I got this year but have yet to try is 2024H.

[@lukstephens1]

2024G

[@InfinityVRX]

These are all great but where is Cookie?!

[@serapheum]

No WLW?

[@justinhernandez1219]

Its wild to see how low some of these score when pinned against other heavy hitters. In their own regard each bottle is great, but stacked like this things like Little Book and Disco 12 get shit on.

[@johng5710]

You guys never got a Coy Hill?

[@ra0333]

“Oh god, I’m going to get jacked in ‘25 dude!” Hahaha had me dying

[@InfinityVRX]

Westward's Milestone release this year is stunning. It's rich apple pie and cinnamon rolls for me. Genuinely BTAC level, maybe better.

[@ghostshipmurmurs7917]

Could you guys try little book again in some video to see wherher you were just crazy during your first review? Im so confused by the wildly different takes on it. The review wasnt even long ago

[@steveo2026]

Disco 12 got boned by being after RR 15 lol

[@ericmalmstrom9943]

It is so unfair to whiskeys to do quick side-by-side comparisons. My favorite whiskeys get better and better as you sip on them. But watching a comparison of 20 fine whiskeys in one setting is awesome!

[@jerber182]

Sean is straight silly in this video and its obvious. So dang funny.

[@stevewambach7637]

I love watching your guys whiskey of the years..... but got dam you make me feel poor cause i couldnt afford half of those bottles and still have a house lol

[@derickanderson7423]

Cold Cuts catching strays

[@eddyburg101]

I think barrell deserved to have a product in this blind. It s better than several of these

[@thebigdubnetwork]

Disco 12 nooooooooo

[@nfeltham]

Haven’t watched in a bit, but Dan is looking thin. Well done sir!

[@kamahhl]

Sean gave ECBP b524 a score of 31...

[@davidlittle6621]

I hope Sean took a nap after this video! LOL

[@paulgrace1279]

you absolutely screwed that Disco 12 gem by going after RR15. Not fair.

[@Toot7319]

Did y'all do a review on the Dragon's Milk Toasted?

[@lukstephens1]

Not the 2024 E,FG,H batch. But they did A-D here kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYLTgYaErdVrpKcsi=6wgvfEBws-ATX70Q

[@Toot7319]

@lukstephens1 thank you.

[@tameturkey101]

Woah woah woah. Did Dan Shook, world renown Makers Mark hater, rank the heart release above 9 other bottles?????

[@SRVandDtrouble]

Really glossed over that didn't they. Just missed the top 10 because of Single Rickhouse...

[@tonypalmer948]

Greats stuff... You guys every think about a 0-10 score with maybe. 5s....0-100 seems a little over kill with a 81 compared to a 84. Just do a 8 or 8.5....

[@Chris-de2qc]

They would probably end up with more ties

[@ISPhotographic]

Including an ultra limited single barrel, the Four Roses, that almost no one is going to get to try seems… pointless. But I supposed the same could be said for most folks of the RR15 and GTS and Pres Choice.

[@brandon_sprague]

This is the best whiskey of the year video. Best whiskey they own that came out in 2024 no other qualifiers. Theres normally a best FINDABLE whiskey video that comes out later.

[@MRB11251]

Not sure how the Essence barrel XB4 from Rishi’s wasn’t on the list!

[@StevenScone]

Will yall check out my blind of EverNorth spirits? Yall might actually enjoy it.

[@TXWE-TexasWhiskeyEnthusiast]

I scored 3 bottles of this years GTS!!! My favorite!

[@jordandowland7256]

Have you tried it yet? I managed to get two.

[@TXWE-TexasWhiskeyEnthusiast]

@ insane this year is soo soo good!!

[@kamahhl]

What the hell? Can we just get Dan's list? 😂

[@Subourbon]

did Essence come from mars, like elon musk?
