The boom is going to cause the family of every 50 year old guy today to have to deal with dusties in 40 years when cleaning out his basement.

[@RicCrouch]

Fact check true! (Source: I’m a fifty-something guy with a lot of bourbon in my basement!)

[@Greyknight308]

Remus 5, I don't think I'll ever be able to walk into a store and buy such an amazing bottle for $80 ever again... glad I have a couple tucked away

[@ajbucher9440]

I think Bardstown Discovery 11 will be a great dusty -13 year wild turkey in it -has some of their own first batch of distillate -and (depending how the distillery ages) it’ll be a great reflection on some of their best early year products

[@iiVegasI]

Those 14- & 15-year Knob picks that dropped only a few years ago will probably be the ones that people mention in the future. While they’re not my cup of tea, I know they definitely “don’t make ‘em like they used to,” and snagged a few to share with friends.

[@pboggs73]

The Kc 14-15 are good to exceptional. Depends on the picker. The meh ones are as good as any KC

[@systemtrend3194]

I agree. I have one that smells and tastes very similar to dusty 80's turkey. I tried them back to back.

[@moneyUWM]

The wild turkey 101 with the old all printed label with the turkey on the label. Love it

[@319_Fishing]

You boys need to try Westward American Single malts. The cask strength is unbelievable

[@evandysert7907]

I got a 1985 rebel yell 101 proof 10 yr decanter series. Distilled by stitzel weller and they had 3 iterations. Rebel yell, weller, and old fitz. Same juice, different label. Its my dustiest dusty that ever dusted, cant wait to try it!

[@williamsedlock3903]

It's amazing when you find out how many bottles of bourbon through the years that Greg matsey from Old elk distillery he has been around for a long long time

[@ericsnyder2424]

I agree with Dan regarding Rare Breed. The new red band bottles are not the same!

[@williamsedlock3903]

Actually I have opened up cabin stills decanter series from the '70s and '60s and I have to say it was smooth seems like it they oxidize just a little bit which may make it smoother??

[@swamptyger]

You might want to try a little J T Melecks whiskey if you can get your hands on some. Surprisingly good....

[@williamsedlock3903]

I have many bottles of michters from the '60s and '70s from the original distillery in Pennsylvania near Hershey Pennsylvania near Hershey Pennsylvania and they are delicious

That Mayor Pingree on the top shelf 👌 the Orion keg store pick is my favorite bottle ive ever tasted

[@onggia850]

I have 3 bottles of the old ET BiB and can't bring myself to break the seal on them. 😢

Y'all forgot Remus Repeal Reserve V

[@tscherer7542]

@@TheRealJeremyHedman the real dusty will be RRR VII. what a turd! I still see it in stores. It may or may not happen, depending on what consumers & industry do next… we just went through a massive boom. personally, i’m feeling a bust comin’ on. Too much whiskey being sold rn, not enough of it great or even good. and age statements are slowly creeping up again. But the high prices for 5-10 yr whiskey and astronomical prices for old whiskey (15-20yo) ? they’re gonna make sure we hit the bust sooner rather than later, imho.

[@justinvandee9428]

13th Colony Double Oak already has a kinda ventage bottle. Maybe one? Cheers 🥃

[@MrDurden427]

The regular one might be a good dusty in 20 years. Much more available.

[@user-zl6fg7qt9w]

I have a bottle of clarion bourbon English butterscotch I know nothing about. I can’t find anything online other than a thanksgiving article written ten years ago. If anyone knows anything about this bourbon please share. Much appreciated

[@RocketSauce666]

I think you missed Bardstown Fusion (and to a lesser extent, Discovery). There are chase bottles from those lines already and I can imagine the desirability of Fusion 4 or Disco 11 being bonkers in 20 yrs. Obviously the special bottles from Bardstown will still be sought after, but they put out a ton of fusion bottles at reasonable prices, so the chance that there will be dusties of Fusion is high.

[@th0rdan]

Agreed but tack on some of those early BBC Collab picks...Chateau de Laubade was a monsterrrrrrr

[@RocketSauce666]

Sure, but the good BBC Collabs are essentially unicorns now... they aren't going to ever be collecting dust on a shelf. I think the idea of dusties are bottles that are sitting on shelves now that will be amazing when we look back 20 yrs from now.

[@th0rdan]

@@RocketSauce666 ah gotcha, yeah I guess I misunderstood the assignment.

[@RocketSauce666]

@@th0rdan - I mean... I think the BJ's got it wrong. You're not wrong that a 25 yr old Chateau de Laubade would be amazing, but we might as well just list off the best bourbon we can think of and then imagine having an unopened bottle of it in 2050.

[@spitefulbumm]

I just got an OGD BIB from 1994. Jesus, that’s good whiskey.

[@kevinm1332]

Seems Early Times Black/Plastic top is already a "dusty". So many people look at the Early Times in a store looking for the plastic top...

[@pboggs73]

I spoke to the JD distiller on Coy Hill. They were all the top of the rick house for 9 years and will take another 9 to get another batch.

[@0529mpb]

I would just be happy to find an 8 year age stated WT 101 in good shape. It was my first decent bourbon purchase at 21.

[@justina.6769]

Like the short Dan! Must be one of the new prints from Into The AM 😄

[@Anfwon]

Got a couple Old Fitz 19s (one to drink one to bunker) Assuming they never go older than 19 on the old ftiz series that should be a great dusty

[@micahdanielson123]

The title is missing the word “be” between will and worth

[@BourbonJunkies]

F, thank you

[@andykleschick2047]

Us viewers don’t come for the spelling. We come for the bourbon, stay for the memeable content

Lol over 3,500 dusties😂. I'm only 58 so we're still counting. But I hope one day lol I won't be around but one day my grandson's appreciate it

[@williamsedlock3903]

You guys are funny our minds think alike I put away a couple cases of the older production early times blacktop. It's delicious there is a difference. And I'm a nut for wild turkey and the wild turkey spirits camp Nelson is the bomb I have been collecting them since they have hit the market trying to get every angle of the Rick houses I can get

[@nvisokey]

My inlaws have a few cases of original batch 1 rare breed. It's soooo good.

[@shredward666]

Dan must have typed out that title 😆

[@Jrdeck88]

Was informed by my parents that my dad has an unopened Jack Daniels Inaugeral Decanter and a Jim Beam ceramic Ford Thunderbird decanter, stopped by and also found late 70’s early 80’s Windsor, SoCo, and Dewars that were unopened as well…wondering if anyone has tried any of those 80’s decanter whiskey’s more recently?

[@spitefulbumm]

Great list…Id add ECBPC923, too, like you said. Such a good bottle.

[@johng6350]

I have a 2018 bottle of Blanton's Single Barrel. It's the oldest bottle of whiskey I've got, which I bought when I was first starting my whiskey journey, on the suggestion of the liquor store guy. Also, I didn't know what it was at the time, and it was still freely available on the store shelf. I've had Blanton's from other sources by this point, so I've been figuring I'd give it a few more years and let it become a dusty.

[@bourbonapprentice]

I’m putting up Old Forester 90 proof picks

[@YoJimBo851610]

All barrel picks make great dusties then.

[@johnj.baranski6553]

Dusties today are interesting because the grains were purer. No round up. No GMO. So 1970s wild turkey is better than 2020 wild turkey.

[@ps138vs2cavi]

I've heard Wild Turkey uses ingredients that are NOT sprayed. I think the video said organic, Buffalo Trace also and Tito's vodka. No evidence the video was correct

[@tscherer7542]

@@johnj.baranski6553 do you have some information sources to back up your assertion? It would be interesting if there’s actually data / published science that demonstrates these changes in grain attributes affected final aged product flavor. I’d think it’s more closely linked to barrel wood quality stave treatment and whiskey maturation practice changes, but I’m just an industry outsider, (consumer and materials scientist) speculating on root causes. Oh, and then there’s climate change to think about too…

[@justinv548]

Im curious how much or any of this is left after the distillation process

[@allenbt11]

I am not sure I agree with most of your lists. To me Dusties are interesting because no one knew what we had in them and they sat on a retailers shelf or the back of someone's bar for years ignored. Sleepers that we did not realize at the time were special bottles. A bottle like Coy Hill is already unobtanium today, no one is going to forget what a special bottle it is/was.

[@David-Drinks-Dusties]

I think that some modern dustys will be the old fan-tail kentucky spirits, screw top weller antique store picks, old boone county sib. Blaum bros sib, and all of the export iterations of wild turkey (12, 13yr, father and son).

[@mackal]

They change in the bottle. There are some chemical reactions that can and do happen.

[@humchan2k]

if you treat it like garbage and leave it in the sunlight, sure.....but if it's kept in a cool, dark place? Absolutely not.

[@mackal]

@@humchan2k no, there is still some reactions that will help if stored perfectly. Not the same reactions, but other reactions will still be happening.

[@thomashardy1851]

I can't not open a bottle, I'll never have dusties because of this.

[@roccovolpendesta7032]

Left out Jack 12 batch one. Super valuable bottle in the future

[@RocketSauce666]

I dunno... when I think of dusty whiskey, it's not necessarily a hard to get whiskey that is now 20 yrs old... I think about regular, easy to get whiskey that is 20 yrs old and has either changed in the bottle (there must be some mellowing that happens as air slowly diffuses through the packaging) or is a reflection of what "regular" whiskey was at a different time. The reason Wild Turkey is sought after isn't because it was special whiskey in 1980... it's because it was good whiskey that was readily available and it tells us what whiskey was like decades before. So while I love J12 batch 01, I think that's just special whiskey. It doesn't tell us anything about the state of whiskey in 2023... it's just amazing whiskey that will be delicious today, tomorrow and in 20-40 yrs.

[@100puremustard5]

​@@RocketSauce666Just the fact it's batch 01 will make it valuable. Same with the 10yr batch 01 especially since it's the only 750ml 😂

[@francisrizzo1529]

I'm surprised there was no RR13/15 on the list... I had to bury my extra M10s under multiple layers to make it less likely that I'll dig them out in the near future...

[@tscherer7542]

@@jondilly1974 mostly for 5-10 yrs they don’t. however, after longer periods (guessing 10-50 yrs, the cork degrades and I imagine (but i’m not an authority) both the cork degradants and the additional O2 will accelerate the change in whiskey qualities including taste from that point on…

[@stevetech5150]

50's is not as bad as you might think. top earning level (money is great), tell everyone what to do and they mostly listen, buy whatever you want and get no pushback (other than the wife but that doesn't matter cuz you put her in a really nice car) you can pay secondary prices cuz you can afford it but don't cuz you're smart enough to not pay it... its not bad.

I do have a couple Rendezvous Rye barrel selects with the Hungarian cask finsh (only 1 is closed) Will never be worth anything because other than you guys, no one knows what they were.

[@humchan2k]

Wanting a CGF is not just label based, though. Oldest WT of it's era, and export only. It was also made in the days of WT using cedar fermentation tanks, so it's the single greatest WT ever.

[@David-Drinks-Dusties]

CGF is very good but there are several other iterations of turkey that are better. KSBW 17 year, MDS, and the 15 year Tributes are great as well.

[@humchan2k]

@@David-Drinks-Dusties I'll take all the Tributes. Agreed. THAT is GOAT level WT, but a bottle of US, non-export, Tribute is pushing $1700-2k these days....but $2k buys a LOT of good store picks :)

After enough time, whiskey absolutely changes in the bottle. Thought this was common knowledge.

[@cartermayfield]

How could it not? Wine changes in a matter of years when the tannins smooth out. Whiskey has more alcohol, so it lasts longer, but it definitely evolves in the bottle.

[@donnatrocks]

im mind blown to see 1000 year old Sean wearing a sweatshirt while im here in CALIFORNIA dying in this heat.

[@tscherer7542]

lol! you guys are showing your age. A dusty is just a historical shelf-turd. bottom shelf dwellers no one wanted to buy, and hence collected dust on the bottle neck.

[@johncandy2916]

Right?! Should be stuff sitting on shelves, taken for granted, that won’t be available in its current state in the future. Early Times is a great example. A specific batch of Kentucky Owl? Getouttaheya.

[@jamiebeavor1246]

Agreed, they totally missed on the purpose of a dusty

[@RocketSauce666]

100%. I commented similarly above. Unicorn whiskey that is also 20 yrs old just means it is further unobtanium. Dusty whiskey is traditionally regularly available whiskey that is overlooked and in retrospect, under-appreciated. I suggested above that Bardstown Fusion will make a great dusty. It's not bottom shelf, but they made a ton of it and you can still find older batches sitting on shelves and even marked down. If people bunkered early Fusion bottles, those will be worth a mint in 20 yrs. The other one that will do very well is just basic bitch Maker's Mark. In 20 yrs time, it will be a different bottle, different label, etc, but people will want to try the juice from 20+ year ago.

[@Carlosww11]

Right! most of these choices were limited releases or just straight up allocated. like COY HILL are you kidding me? I cant find it now... you think imma see it on a shelf collecting dust? Early times was a great example and so was the rare breed. I thought they were gonna say old granddad FP due to all the recent rumors. ya they missed the mark

[@0529mpb]
