Detailed insight into all things Bourbon. Each week I will take you through Bourbons that are hot on the shelf and give you a simple answer, Buy or Don't Buy. Please subscribe to watch the videos and to learn something along the way.
Probably my biggest regret bottle purchase in years. Smooth? Sure. You better like peanut shell. If it was a standard Booker's release at that price, it would be fine. However, Little Book 7 and 8 were both less expensive, and for me, much better bottles! Initial impression of this is that it a pretty bottle and a neat story, but a poor value.
Sorry why is everyone willing to put up with these crazy raising prices, no way here, the 20 years can turn into a forty year not shelling out that much no matter how good
9:55 - Saw it at the Spec’s near my house in South Texas, it was $189 and I had to let it sit. $200 + for me is reserved for Unicorn Bottles. Too much good stuff available for $100 and under ( Holladay Soft Red Wheat Rickhouse Proof, Green River Full Proof, Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel-Barrel Proof and others. Plus - I like to sip and not collect trophies 😊
Just dropped this week in Ohio it's on the shelf and I'm trying to say no....fall is such a whiskey glut, distilleries drop their best stuff and I can't afford all the bottles I have available. If this dropped on March 1 it would be an easy decision.
I have the toasted bourbon batch 3 open right now, “and the verdict is in”…best $110 whiskey I have tasted! I get a huge amount of cherry with a backbone of oak. Extremely well balanced with a long finish. Drink below its 118.8 proof! Thanks for your review!
I have become a fanboy. We visited in April (from Florida) and couldn't wait to get back to get our orders from the vault. Just picked up two bottles of Barrel #143 and it is delicious! The Premium is out of this world! Can't wait for more honey finished batches.
Would love to have it but not paying online price. Have tried small batch and not bad. Hopefully, will win chance to buy at distillery! Not holding my breath…🙂
I like a Good BT Store Pick, Eagle Rare is usually pretty findable here, And around here (in AZ) Blantons is typically easier to find than the Weller 107 those would be my findable list for around here.
Nice video. Most are findable but the degree of findability varies. Eagle Rare, EHT SB, and Blanton's are easily getable and enjoyable. Weller products and Stagg are tougher to find but love them, especially Stagg. I've seen CYPB, and Full Proof more often than 107. It will be dropping across the border soon. So, I'll be trying to get that. Eagle Rare, gotta try and get store picks! I've never seen the Kosher products ever but had samples and they were delicious!
I can get eagle rare often, try to keep two backups, pretty much my favorite bourbon. I also grab all the buffalo trace picks I run across, never disappointed
Bro, what are you smoking? “Bottles you can actually find?”And your first one is Antique 107? “Maybe if you have a friend in Ohio they can find one for you?” SMH. I looked for that in Ohio and store owners said they never get it. Eagle rare? Yeah maybe. Buffalo trace kosher? I’m scouting for bourbon constantly and I’ve never even heard of this. Wrong title for this video.
In London you can easily get Eagle Rare for a great price (around £35), and often, a pick, which is still affordable (around £60). E.H. Taylor Small Batch (between £90-110). Buffalo Trace Kosher Rye is very available as well for a reasonable price (£40ish) but the others are a bit harder to find. The basic Buffalo Trace is 40% in England so I don't tend to buy it unless you can get a pick and therefore it tends to be 45%.
@@BourbonJudge Well, of course, because I'm here! lol! I'm jealous of some of the bourbons/ryes that are available around you but grateful for what we have here.
I know everyone talks about 107, being easier to find, however not for me! I have all of the Wellers except CYPB and single barrel. The 107 is probably the one I see less often than the rest. I only have one and had to pay like 85 for it!
Love thethe videos. Man it’s had to find so those bottles in the Seattle area. I run into the eagle every now and then, but never see the other two. Been told I need to try the Weller 107 but can’t never find them. There is two store I know that have them, but not willing to pay $150-$200.
Wow I struck out and I was almost positive John j bowman single barrel was going to b on that list. Being that they get their juice from buffalo trace I thought you would include that particular bottle. Lol
Establish a good relationship with your local liquor store, buy from them, just stop in and BS and you will be amazed at what comes out of the back room and for a reasonable price. I live in New Jersey and I can find 107 for 95 bucks but a good friend of mine got me a bottle out of state for 65 bucks. Eagle Rare i picked up in NJ for 65 bucks. Buffalo Trace Kosher, 45 bucks all day long in Jersey. All good stuff!
I live in Central NJ, forget about seeing Weller 107 pretty impossible unless way marked up usually behind the counter or in a glass case. The Eagle Rare was always on the shelf until about 4 years ago, if you're lucky to find it your paying almost double msrp... at least $75 to over a 100. Now I do have a local store selling the Buffalo Trace Kosher for $49.99, good luck my friends!
I moved from PA where I couldn't find anything to NJ to finding everything except for Rock Hill Farms. The trick is finding them at a reasonable price. Crazy.
