This Rye is a Contender for Whiskey of the Year
This is an immediate contender for whiskey of the year. A huge thank you to Rare Bird 101, David Jennings, for setting us up with this amazing rye whiskey, Raconteur Rye Batch 2. Also on this episode, we're saying farewell to Sadie Hustlepig, our beloved camper van that started us on this amazing journey to travel the world and drink whiskey. You won't believe how good the AI song is that we created for the montage.

Yeah, I git it. This is the Grand Old Opery. Right?
Wow AI did that! Cheers to wherever you are! Loved it ❤
Based on the branding alone this is not something I would ever pick up. The old timey apothecary feel is not my thing.
That song fits y’all better than you could have imagined! Great video! Love you guys keep it up
Good review guys. Phil come clean that was all you. You've outdone yourself. You gotta get the band back together
That concoction is the 'marshy mess' & cream just checking on the 6yr highest Rye it hit the UK. Cheers Phil for the review.
I got thirsty listening to you guys and i love my high proofs especially with a rye .🥃
There is one small piece of the song that seemed like it went unsaid. The pictures showed what we all know, the purrs and whispers as the song faded contained a distant sound that we all knew. Faintly in the distance on the wind I heard... "Norman".... 😺
Great job honoring your van. I have always said you guys do location whiskey videos better than anyone. Very appreciative you took us along for the ride. By the way I heard great things about that rye

Great review and what a tribute!!❤
Thanks so much. So glad y'all enjoyed it.
Our pleasure. Thank you!
WHISKEY CHEERS 😎
Do you know of where I can stay the night before the ride in the morning. I'm driving from San diego to do this ride.
If camping is an option, there are some great sites nearby, and some will even have a shuttle to the start/finish area. Otherwise, Crater Lake Lodge is your best bet.
I drink two days a week but on those days it's between 5-8 drinks...it's the weekend!! You only live once!!
My vote for your replacement is EKKO. Major upgrade. My vote is Bardstown...
If you passed on this at a drop you screwed up. It’s an absolute killer.
It is funny how UA-cam just quits recommending a channel. I watched a bunch of your videos -recommended by UA-cam - about a year ago. I never subscribed, nor did I remember your channel name, and UA-cam just quit putting you in my recommended feed. Well, after about 5 months of trying to find you, I succeeded! And subscribed, finally!
I did not enjoy the Cal 16, whatsoever.
Wish i could find one in michigan 😢Cheers 🥃 😊
I'm late, I was outta town, gonna guess Barrell Bourbon something.
New sub and fellow Tuber. BB is def on my to-do list. Cheers, y'all!!!
Great review. It got a lot of hype, but I think it needs a couple more years of age yet.
Santa Rosa / Healdsburg is the gateway to our absolute favorite wine region in California - Dry Creek Valley. There are amazing wineries in that area.
Milk duds aren't good? 😢 They look like elk turds, but they are delicious little dental restoration destruction bombs 💣 😋
Very nice review. I agree that Smokeye Hill might not be on par with other high end bourbons, but it did beat out George T. Stagg in a blind tasting during the 2024 ASCOT Awards. I really like it as it has such a concentration of flavors that one could spend quite a bit of time enjoying it. While in Santa Rose, did you stop by the Luther Burbank Home and Garden? He developed more than 800 strains and varieties of plants over his 55-year career, one being the Shasta Daisy. Cheers!
I used to live in Santa Rosa only a few blocks from Bottle Barn. Hope you visited Russian River Brewing while there. Pliny the Elder is a fantastic DIPA. Also or course, Redwood Empire is close in Graton.
I’m liking the 93 proof, but passed on the 131. Those high proofers are just loo much for me. Wish it came at 100-108.
Interesting Starward collaboration. I have their Nova, which is wine finished. I’ve seen a couple of videos praising the Smokeye Hill. At 131, I might have to go to an ice sphere.
Love flavor and high proof, so this will need to be added to the list. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I'm glad you were able to find a couple of bottles there. I have had some great store picks from Bottle Barn and usually pick up ECBPs there. 🥃
Glad you suggested for them to go there. I live 30 minutes away and love shopping there!
Nice review! The Smoke Eye Hill has great flavor and a little punch like a Stagg jr but not the flavors. It’s a great pour:)!!! Cheers!
Love the Smokeye!! Enjoy! Looking forward to the Starward review!
Bottle Barn is great!
Love milk duds

Adieu Sadie😢 “In the arms of the angels, fly awwwaayyy from here….” My guess was Bardstown, I was wrong.
You have the voice of an angel.
Everyone forward this to Brewzle.
Traveling by van to visit the national parks, run trails and check out craft distilleries... you're living out my dream! Subbing to see more!
Paused. Guessing Jack Barrel Proof Rye
It feels like Phil went light on the editing and kept a lot of good stuff in on this one, and I loved it.
Farewell, Sadie. Can't wait to meet the new Whiskey Wagon.
My man Phil! BV ❤
Julie, that smile ❤❤❤
Catch phases are overrated. but I'm ready for the weekend.
@RussD you’re the man! That sounds like a terrific pour!! Cheers Phil & Julie🥃
Thank you kindly 🙂
happy to see you guys try out a pour from a distillery in my home town. I’m a big fan of this bottle and Julie’s shirt! looking forward to your adventures in the new vehicle. cheers! 🥃😸
Thanks 🥃 Cheers
