I was able to score one direct from, Old Forester for $115 on release day. Was underwhelmed by the fresh crack pour. Enjoyed it significantly more a week later. Will nurse the bottle and see if it becomes more available and hopefully cheaper.

@mikemattis1204 7 месяцев назад

It good but not worth the price. I would rather 2 1920 bottles instead of another one of these

@anthonyvella2787 7 месяцев назад

10 year Early Times ?

@fap-p4r 7 месяцев назад

Doubt it. 10 yr ET would taste amazing. After all, that’s what many say michters 10 is. I don’t know why they don’t just emulate michters. As OF already distills the base whiskey for M10, figure it wouldn’t be difficult to reverse engineer the barreling process.

@tl6137 7 месяцев назад

i am sure many of these companies will go bust, if they keep pushing their average customers to pay 20 -30 % more every 1 or 2 years. Surely that's not going to be the case for brown forman, they will just cut half of their product line out. It's one thing to have products your customers are not a fan of, and completely a different story when they hate your guts because you are playing the hard to get game with them.

@ronnyron6939 7 месяцев назад

Thanks Matt. Unfortunately price has to be taken into account on this one because $115, let alone $150, is highway robbery for this bottle. Maybe I'd pay the $115 for a first bottle but yeah. Of course to each their own on what they want to pay for a bottle but I felt this is over priced enough that I had to say something.

@williamborst7317 7 месяцев назад

Well, Birthday Bourbon is well over 100 and it’s been 10,11, and 12 year….🤷🏼‍♂️ should be around the same as Barrel strength for 79.99

@dustingibson2678 7 месяцев назад

I think they are jumping on the bandwagon pricing like MWND and others lately

@tylerwilliams4165 7 месяцев назад

I like that he doesn’t include price in his reviews. There are plenty of people that do that. $115 means something different to everyone. Some people make that in an hour, and some people have to save for a month to have that much disposable income. I think the review should just be about the whiskey itself so people can make their own determination if it’s worth the price.

@kamahhl 7 месяцев назад

Price does not have to be taken into account, you do that as a consumer. His job is to review the whiskey that's it.

@matthewdohrmann 7 месяцев назад

It's actually best that he doesn't take price into account. It would be interesting to know how other 10-year Bourbons have ranked. Then we can make informed buying decisions based on price and reviews like this one.

@jasoncoates1835 7 месяцев назад

If they're going to charge me money for a bottle I'm going to consider price. It's kind of difficult not to.

OF 1924 is now available around Central Maryland. $150 a bottle!! Pass!

@cartermayfield 7 месяцев назад

What’s funny is that listening to Matt talk about the whiskey, I can usually guess the score pretty closely. I guessed 8.1 before he said it. Not bad. And I agree with the assessment.

@joshcoberly2469 7 месяцев назад

I really appreciate the “you pay what you pay” and you don’t pitch a fit reference. The get what you get and don’t pitch a fit reference is a staple for my kids currently. One of few bourbon RU-vidrs that I feel like I could relate to enough to want to have a drink with them. If you ever do a pick with shortbarrel here in Atlanta, let me know. I will join the tasting team.

"It smells like Michter's" -- well, they're both using the Early Times mash bill from the same distillery so ....

@kamahhl 7 месяцев назад

We don't know anything for certain about Michter's mashbill, and we only know it's rumored to be sourced or contract distilled from Brown Foreman.

@whiskeyislife6498 7 месяцев назад

Love some Old Forester. But given that I can get the 1920 Prohibition Style at 115 proof for $70 and the 100 proof for $25, both of which I thoroughly enjoy, I’ll have to pass on this one.

@drinks4days 6 месяцев назад

Quality over quantity my friend. 1924 blows both of those away.

@francisrizzo1529 7 месяцев назад

Putting this in the same conversation as Mich10 is quite the compliment. Looking forward to getting a pour of this at a bar when it's available in my area but my $150/bottle budget will go to Mich10 every time.

@claytonmitchell5685 7 месяцев назад

Matt mentioning Michter’s in this convo completely changed how I was thinking about it. After learning recently that a lot of Michter’s products are sourced from Brown Forman, and knowing how much I like Michter’s, it made me think that $115 for a 10 year bottle maybe isn’t as bad as I initially would’ve thought

@Bergkampgunner 7 месяцев назад

Good luck finding an M10 for $150 or less. It’s not 2019 anymore

@kamahhl 7 месяцев назад

2023 MSRP for M10 is 185. So the 1924 at 115 is actually a way better value and probably easier to find as well.

@francisrizzo1529 7 месяцев назад

@@Bergkampgunner I didn't say M10 sells for $150 or less, I said my budget of $150 per bottle would go towards a M10 over a 1924. That said, I did get a 2023 M10 for $165.

@fap-p4r 7 месяцев назад

@@francisrizzo1529 the reason you got a doubting reply was obvious. M10 for me is ~$400 and they’d call that a discount

@993C2S Месяц назад

It's very good but unfortunately it's under proofed. This would have been so much better at 120 proof. Wish they didn't water it down.

@ironpony9892 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the review Matt, really looking forward to trying this one... if it ever shows up here in NH. Must say its going to have to be magic to beat the blue label single barrel/barrel strength I am enjoying right now, and that was only $85.

@umami0247 7 месяцев назад

Unfortunately this is a hard pass for me I can get two of any row series for what this cost so why would I buy this when I know I like 1920 already.. Is it good sure but I can get every other ten year for under 50. So just a pass.

@jameslenaburg4378 7 месяцев назад

@OutdoorGold 7 месяцев назад

Solid review! I found two in GJ, but deferred both. I have a hard time stomaching $150 on a ten year non cask strength product, especially since I can find Stagg at the same price point. It's also twice the price of Knob Creek 12, Penelope 9 year CS, or Elijah Craig BP the younger. I enjoy the Old Forester whiskey row line up, but this whiskey should have been introduced at the $80-90 range.

@jeremywarren5748 7 месяцев назад

Predicting it now. This comment section will be full of MSRP Guy. He will be commenting early and often. About how he only buys bottles that are MSRP and only if he agrees with that MSRP price as well. So basically he doesn’t drink but watches bourbon videos.

@noobtubetay 5 месяцев назад

Grabbed an Of 1924 at 119$. Was very very lucky and literally was at the store when their allocation hit the tables. Plucked one of the 3 available and took it home to try asap. I really really enjoy it and would definitely buy another if I could find at the same price some day.

@markpoani2558 7 месяцев назад

Was expecting so much more from this release. The nose was exceptional but the palate and finish just didn’t do it for me. I’d rather have the 1910.

@collinwilliams5097 7 месяцев назад

Hi, Matthew. An inquiry for your consideration, kind sir. If you could only have one bottle for $150, would you rather WT12 or OF1924 and why?

@stuffandwhiskey 7 месяцев назад

Great review Matty. My only critique with it is that it’s a bit flat on the palate but otherwise we enjoy it a ton. Definitely not thrilled with the price but such is life these days. Glad to have one but not in a rush to buy another.

@kamahhl 7 месяцев назад

I agree with the flat note where it's a bit thin, but flavors are fantastic.

@OldFashionedWays 7 месяцев назад

@dreamingwolf8382 7 месяцев назад

I love to play along at the end when you're scoring to see if I can guess The Matt Porter Score before you say it. Based off of the notes you give and the faces you make I'm typically within 0.1-0.2 from where you end up. It's pretty fun.

@chazzcombs 7 месяцев назад

My friend found one at Total Wine for MSRP. We both had a pour and neither of us liked it. I'll try it again when I'm there in a couple of weeks to see if it opened up and got better. For now, I'm glad it was his $ and not mine.

@RocketSauce666 7 месяцев назад

Scored a bottle for the same price from my local and cracked during Super Bowl. It really tasted dusty to us which was a treat. I agree with all the mossy, funky notes, but for us it tasted like a dusty leatherbound book and was a really unique experience for a fresh crack whiskey. Happy to own it and would buy another for $150.

My opinion is that if you're not sitting down to drinking something for a while it's not an opinion. First and second sip don't describe the experience to sitting down and exploring a poor over an evening or beyond. You first and second sip are just the start of exploring what a whiskey is. No one buys a bottle for 2 sips.
