I have an OESO from put Big box local liquor store. You went over the graph, and i jumped up and look to see what I had lol. Usually get 4 or 5 picks throughout the year
The Weller is going to be around the tune of 7k a bottle, Masters Keep has been throwing average at best whiskey and throwing it in a cardboard box and charging out the butt for it the last few years hard pass on it this year. I can get 10 year MGP rye for like 100 msrp in some cases.
The BiB 100 proof is just OK, haven't had the 114 proof. But the 10 year@ 90ish dollars is fantastic. Got 2 bottles last year, will get 2 of the 11 year for sure.
I will just say in case I didn’t clarify enough in the video; the heaven hill bottle in the video is NOT an older version of heaven hill 7 year bib. William heaven hill is their premium top end bottle. They are drastically better tasting, but man they come with a premium price. I can argue they are $300+ good; but that’s the retail price on them. They are in a different league, but that next league comes with absurd markup prices. It’s whatever to me, I won’t be paying for it. I’m content with my cheapo bottles.
If you told me that Four Roses was going to add new mash bills, I would have bet on one of those being high malt like Chattanooga. How much different can the "even higher rye" turn out compared to the high rye mash bill they already produce? Also, why bother? Most people people can only find yellow lable, small batch, and the 100 proof SiB bottle that is ALWAYS the same mash bill.
I pretty much wrote off WTMK with the last price increase, but... The Cornerstone was the best rye I've ever tasted and I might pay for this new rye if I have the chance.
Sagamore is releasing a 9 yr this year. And their picks will be up to 8 yr old. I think their own distillate is fantastic and I’m excited when it’s being used in more releases. The 6 yr BiB is really good and their new small batch (bought at distillery) that’s 100% 4-6 sagamore distillate is fantastic especially for 35-40 bucks
@@DahBeers they've been having 8 year picks for a while. That's why I thought they might have some 10 year old stuff. Everything they put out is so good though.
@@lonewanderer3603 gotcha. When I was there a month ago. They said it’ll be sagamore 9 yr in lieu of the 8 yr release. And their own distillate is approaching 7 yr age. I’m not usually a finish guy but have loved their port and VDN
Let say I didn't think it wasn't good it was. But I did the overholt triple. Bonded, 114 proof and 10 year all together. 1st 2 can be had for 30 dollars or under. 10 year 100 bucks. It wasn't significantly better to justify an extra 70 bucks.
@@thomascrompton7775it's like night and day vs the 100pr, I haven't had the 114 though. Did you just have one pour or have a bootle they opened up over time?
People need to explore other distilleries there are a lot of good juice out there without the big name people are sucked in by Buffalo traces lure and hype along with heaven hills and wild turkey rise lol there is no bourbon for the plain man anymore we have to reach all the way down to the bottom shelf 😢
