When you're reviewing a few bottles of whiskey every week, it is easy for everything to start to taste "meh." The bright side is, when something really surprises you, it sticks with you. In this episode, Chris walks through three bottles that were really pleasant surprises this year, and what it was about them that made them stand out.

Featured in this episode:

- Bulleit Bottled In Bond Bourbon
