I have become a big fan of Bardstown... but I am mainly talking the Origins Series. The White label is great, and the Black label BiB is fantastic.

Just bought this yesterday!! It's freakin delicious!

There you go, Matt!! Never give up on sports and competition!! Bummer of a video, with Disco 11 not meeting expectations… but you know, it’s a relief your experience was the same as mine… thought I might have had a bad bottle. Hope you’re doing well.

I find with all of the Disco series that I have had it takes them more time to open up than other bottles I have experienced. Probably why the 10 did so well later on.

Holy fu**, I lol’d hard at the 3.8million light years away comment

Back in action like nothing ever happened! Cheers Matt🥃🥃🤘

Can we please hear more of this "sweetened birds nest" note you speak of? 😂

I was very impressed with this. With that said, I think I liked their stuff on its own better. That 7ish year 36 rye bourbon they make is absolutely fantastic.

You kill it every episode, Matt. You ROCK, you whiskey badass! You've inspired me to try out doing a channel myself. I don't have the nose or pallette that you do, but that's not the idea of the channel. Thanks for being you, sir. Looking forward to the next one!

Tuned in to learn about bourbon but ended up learning about asteroids missing us by 3.8 light years. I feel more informed about more rounded topics today. Thanks Matt.

I visited BBC for my birthday a little while back and the tour guide said they hope to be in all 50 states by the end of the year…excited to have their stuff available in the Midwest finally!

I got Z Biotics with Matts ad and used it derby weekend and it worked flawlessly. 6 people used it and all 6 felt great the next day (minus the whiskey shits)

A city called Veyo in UT is famous for their pies. I once had a fantastic peach blueberry pie there. Disco 11 is that. Peach blueberry pie.

Oh man, Bass Mechanic was a blast from the past. Those were the days.

Totally coulda just said "For the homies." 😂😂😂

So what you're saying is Disco 11 is like the Bee Gees 😂 just to high pitched for you 😁

Sounds like a heck of battle the pins put up. I will have to finally have to open my Discovery 11 bottle to honor you not giving up. Keep up the fight on the lanes Matt.

Never give up on bowling Matt…couldn’t have said it better myself. Great content as always.

I agree 100% with your opinion. I have only had 1 pour so I want to let it open up a bit, but it did not hit what I was expecting. It was good, but for the price tag, there are better bottles out there that are much cheaper.

Good to have you back Matt! Hope 1 Ounce Wednesday Videos will come back on a more regular basis too

Had a Bardstown flight in Louisville last weekend. 9,10,11. 9 and 11 were similar. I liked 10 the best.

Cracked my bottle today in celebration of July 4th. My experience was disappointingly similar to yours... much brighter and less oaky than expected. Given that ~75% of this is (most likely) 13 year old Wild Turkey, I hoped it would have at least a passing resemblance to Russell's 13. Nope. Like you, I wondered if the other (younger) ~25% may have spoiled the party. Another possibility is that WT sold Bardstown some of their 13 year barrels that weren't good enough to be bottled as Russell's 13. In any case, if this bottle doesn't open up, I will regret the purchase. I'm hopeful that it will.

I agree with my first pour. Will have to try again after it opens up for a while! Hope it gets better like everyone says it does!

I had my first pour at the distillery. I’m glad I didn’t plunk down 140 for it beforehand. It was OK…

Still waiting for a Garrison Brothers Balmorea/Guadalupe review

Yeah I definitely got this expecting a lot of oak based on the proportion of 13 year, but it’s still pretty good. I just prefer to be slapped around by oak.

I found this one needs a lot of air to blossom. When I first opened it, all I could taste was the spicy French oak from the 6% BBC wheat recipe. Was initially quite disappointed. Fast forward almost 6 months later after a series of improving small pours, it tastes much more like the old Turkey on which it is based. One of my favorite bottles now when craving a well aged

For the people on the fence about a $140+ bottle of bourbon I would have to say don't judge it by a fresh pour. Pour one, drink it and after about a week the bottle really starts to open up and is amazing.

I did a Disco 7-11 blind and put 11 in last place 🤷🏻‍♂️

Matt "White Chocolate" Porter. Spot on review, thanks!

More available version of (almost) RR13

I think your review of this bottle was right on Matt! it's good, but only good...I think Disco 10 blows this bottle away all day long!

I heard great things about this bottle hunted it down and was disappointed on my first few “Glasses” of it. I’m close to half way through the bottle and it has finally opened up or I got used to it. lol but I like it now. Taste Kinda similar to the RR13 not exactly but close. I need to blind the 2

Dude, the miss pour commentary 😂🤣 Great review and tasting notes. #86 #nevergiveup #georgeforman Love You Dude🎯🎳❤

As a Newb to Bardstown, I enjoyed this bottle, but not so much the price point. Felt, I could do a lot worse at $140 vs other regrettable bottles. Definitely got that DeBeque peach on the nose. DeBeque peaches are underrated vs Palisade, I stand by that. Feel you're spot on at 7.4, I wouldn't be shy about propping it up to 7.8 and it does drink on the brighter side cutting a cigar nicely. Would love this around the $80 range.

I kinda had the same opinion on my first taste. When I went back later it was MUCH better. I am a big fan.

Jason Williams elbow pass 👊🏽😂

I was with you in this one. I heard great things, got it, tasted it, underwhelmed. It's not bad but also not really what I enjoy.

Hey Matt,,, I'am not a pro at tasting multiple notes but I'am reallly liking the Disco #11 just picked a #8 last week have not tried it yet .... Thanks

Was disappointed on the first pour as well. Second pour, the flavor changed into a cherry cordial for me and was fantastic.

Definitely give up on a long pour once it hits your pants. Unless, maybe, its Disco #11. Appreciate all the reviews Matt.

Definitely a good bottle, better than a 7.4. I don’t think it is as good as 4, but that is a hard one to beat. I get dark chocolate nibs on this one. I hope it gets better with time. It’s funny you mention pitch, I was waiting for higher pitched notes and all I got was the bass that you had hoped for. I guess it’s good we have different palates.

Okay this is a game we play and we take a sip when we hear a dad joke/rant…we didn’t make it far on this one. 0:20 0:36 0:48 1:36 4:39…. Lol I’ll Finnish later

Like most older Turkey, it needs some air and gets better. Its a revisit.

This one needs time to open up and becomes a great pour, give it time…

7.4 is generous

Where does one buy the glass you use in this video?!

Yeah I passed on 11 Discovery 10 was more my Jam.

Was that candle pin bowling?

Wonder if I got a bad bottle. It’s smells like light stone fruit with pickle brine the tongue. Weird

I agree...it's good just not great... wouldn't buy a backup..

Cheers Matt.I love you ❤

I think this is right. People keep comparing this to Russell’s 13. But Russell’s 13 is a 13 year old age stated bourbon that contains a lot of dramatically older barrels. This is a bourbon blend that contains some 13 year bourbon and a significant amount of younger bourbon. I like it, but I didn’t go in expecting something intensely oaky. It’s not. It’s fruity with an undercurrent of caramel, which is good in my book.

Well, you can't be right every time. It's OK.

I bought a backup it was so good.

Man I’m starting not to trust your palate… haha this beat out most RR13’s blind for me.

Throwing a flag on the play for "alcohol abuse"! 😃

Strawberry candy fo sho

Angel shear

What the fuck does a birds nest smell like? When was the last time you had your honker in a robin’s nest? Is this some sort of weird Porter euphemism? Palisade peaches are fire, coming from a fellow Colorado kid. Thanks for the content.

Maybe your bottle is off a bit because every review I’ve seen have been very positive. I’m a huge fan of the origin series. From the white to green and black plus the fusion series are fantastic. Give it some time and revisit it and if it’s still just eeh maybe buy a new bottle and see if it is just this one that isn’t hitting you right. Enjoy!!

I haven’t done that in awhile… that’s what she said🤣🤣🤣🤣🙃

Gotta disagree with you on this one. This is immediate backup bottle good.

Dude I agree, I bought it and I was underwhelmed. I kept trying though but it’s not a killa. I think if someone only drinks whiskey that’s mediocre then taste the 11 then they would be mind blown. But I have too many other whiskeys that put this one on the bottom shelf.

Jason Williams elbow pass. Did that go un noticed?

That zbiotics music was the goofiest, most distracting thing I've ever heard

I completely agree with your review notes! I was ready to be blown away and having read all the praise for the 13 year WT, I bought a backup before tasting this. I was left sorely disappointed after cracking the bottle. It’s good but not unique and not better than good. And way too expensive for the taste profile.

It’s ok to give up on bowling Matt…. Just let her go.

Im not sure you would even accumulate 7 bucks in nickels.

This Disco 11 and Russell’s 13 Batch 4 have both been very underwhelming for me. Should’ve skipped!

What?? I rate this at 9.2. Fantastic whiskey

I was pretty disappointed with it. Not sure where the swell of hype is coming from bc I would have been pretty upset paying $140 for that pour

Just saved me 170 buck 👏👏👏

It's hard to bowl an 86 if you're not goofing around. Did you intentionally bowl a low score to make someone else feel better? That's the story I would stick to.

Yeah just get a single barrel Russell's for half the price. 🤷🏻‍♂️ (I will say the Disco is better with a couple drops of water.)

Matt, you're benched until next season, Discovery Series 12. lol

Sometimes your narrative are so “out there, theatrical” that it looses professionalism. I recognize your one of the best but perhaps your commentary gets a bit trite. Appreciate your effort

I do not like Greta Thunberg

We find it funny that people geek out about BBC so much because it has a lot of older stock of WT, but the price is 2-3x the price of most older Russell's stock (RR10 comes to mind) by itself. The value just isn't there.
