Can a 40-Year-Old 'Bottom Shelf' Bourbon Beat Modern Releases? #bourbontasting #vintage

Can a 40-year-old "bottom shelf" bourbon beat modern releases? 🥃 Today we’re cracking open a true relic: a 1984 JW Dant Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Distilled during the legendary Schenley era in Louisville, this 90-proof vintage bottle offers a literal taste of history. We dive into the classic Bernheim/Schenley mash bill (approx. 75% corn, 15% rye, 10% barley) to see if this "dusty" holds up. From the initial hit of butterscotch and baking spices on the nose to a surprising burnt cardamom and black pepper finish, this wasn't the sweet pour we expected! Does it drink hotter than 90 proof? Is it better than the current Heaven Hill JW Dant Bottled-in-Bond? Watch to find out if this 1984 vintage is a hidden gem or a mediocre memory. In this Short: * Distillery History: Schenley & Dant Distilling Co. * Tasting Notes: Butterscotch, Cardamom, and "Ethanol Heat." * The Verdict: Vintage vs. Modern Heaven Hill. Cheers to sipping on history! 🥂 ### **Connect With Us & Support The Journey!** 🥃 **Become a Patron & Get Exclusive Content:** https://www.patreon.com/cw/YourBourbonJourney 🌐 **Visit Our Website:** https://yourbourbonjourney.com/ 🔔 **SUBSCRIBE HERE:** https://www.youtube.com/@YourBourbonJourney?sub_confirmation=1 📸 **Instagram:** https://www.instagram.com/yourbourbonjourney/ 👍 **Facebook:** https://www.facebook.com/YourBourbonJourney 🚨REMEMBER TO ALWAYS DRINK RESPONSIBLY🚨 ❓Questions❓ YourBourbonJourney@gmail.com NOTE: The spirit in this review was purchased by us.
