The secondary market for whiskey has gone absolutely bats**t nuts. I don't care how delicious it is, when a 750ml bottle of whiskey costs more than a mortgage payment on a 1 bedroom condo in Chicago, we have entered 15th (16th?) century Dutch tulip market mania territory.

I like the curveball of the Maker's Mark in here, and honestly thought it would catch more people. One item standing out as really distinct in a blind tasting sometimes tricks people into thinking "that must be the crazy old one." Also, the editing in these is really enjoyable. I love the moments after they taste a new whiskey, cutting together snippets of people saying similar things, or completely different notes.

Love this stuff. Fascinating that all these folks have such different perspectives on the same drinks; different fruits, spirits, scents, etc. Just shows no matter what it costs, it’s more about do YOU like it vs what somebody else thinks. Price is likely relevant to certain elements/complexities (as it is in most things), but is generally not an indicator of whether someone will enjoy it more or less.

Having had a $30 scotch and a $2000 scotch, I can say there's a level of complexity and smoothness that cheaper scotches have a hard time replicating.

Clearly, secondary market prices are absolutely insane right now. Here in Ohio (price controlled state), I get Weller Special Reserve and 107 at retail for $25 and $50 respectively. Granted, I only find them on the shelf every few months, if I'm lucky, and I've never actually seen a bottle of William Larue Weller ($100 in Ohio) in the the wild. I'm sure it's excellent, but for $2,500, there is no way to justify that cost when I could take that same money and buy 40 - 50 bottles or more of very good whiskeys that live in the $25-$70 range.

Then I moved back home to Cincinnati, almost 300 miles closer to the actual distillery, and I haven't seen it since. Fortunately, there is still a ton of very good, easily obtainable whiskey out there. Still, I'd kinda like to find a bottle of Blanton's at retail again before I die. lol

Comparing my WT Master’s Keep One to 101 and Rare Breed while watching this. I’m not upset at the price I paid for the Master’s Keep and I’m happy to have it in my collection as a huge WT fan, but it’s definitely priced for rarity and not necessarily quality- as is often the case. Very rarely do I spend more than $50 on a bottle and find it to be “worth the price” because of how many great bottles are in the $20-$30 range, but once again, whiskey is usually priced for rarity and not on a linear scale based on quality. You gain a new appreciation for “the best whiskey is the whiskey you like to drink, the way you like to drink it” after spending a few thousand dollars trying different things 😅

That isn't that bad, because a bottle of Redbreast jumped 18 dollars since March, the combination of covid (people bought more and I am not sure how much different state legislatures limited production while that demand shot up) and the overall inflation (which affects all aspects of manufacture from ingredients to distribution) it seems like everyone went up significantly.

Using secondary prices as the metric here is a bit misleading IMO. Yes, you probably won't find WLW or A107 for their $100 and $50 MSRPs, respectively. However, while WLW is a fantastic bourbon and a no-brainer at ~$100, the bonkers secondary price of $2,500 for it is more about a supply and demand curve and less about the quality of the whiskey itself.

2500 for WLW is about 800 over actual secondary. Not sure where they got that number

Back in the 90s, we had a deer camp & did blind taste tests. One of the guys was a liquor slsps. He had a bottle of Pappy's before it got super expensive. To the point Wild Turkey 101 won like 6 yrs a row!

I absolutely love that where I live - the William Larue Weller is $179 Canadian ($137 USD), so about $2, 363 USD less than they had to pay for it... Give me a shout and I'll fly down with a few bottles for you.

The prices stated just show how crazy things have become. The bottle of 107 I have came from Amazon UK and cost me GBP36.50 in 2017, and I have been nursing it ever since as I know it will be expensive and a pain to replace. I've had WLW before (at the London Whisky Show where the entire BTAC and Pappy ranges were included for tasting in the ticket price) and struggle with the idea that it costs as much as 20 bottles of 107.

Red Apple! That's what I've been struggling to describe for Maker's!. Star anise is what I taste in most bourbons. I don't have a sophisticated palate.

Back in 2013 I was offered a pappy 10 and a 12 for 500 dollars. Pretty much right before Bourbon became insane. The most I ever spent on whiskey

Damn the mash bill of Pappy Van Winkle throughout till the end which basically gives the bird to Makers following a literal unicorn.

My first time watching this, I came out realizing I needed to try Maker’s Mark. The next time I went into a store, they had Maker’s Mark on sale and I impulse bought it because it had to be a sign.

I was at my local feelgood-store (yeah, I´m swedish. Only the state can sell me alcoholic drinks) And I was looking to buy a Lagavulin 16. But it´s price here is $86 so I glanced at cheaper options and found Finlaggan Batch Strength, and gosh darn it. It might taste a wee better than the Lagavulin. No hate here, just going by taste. I will buy a Lagavulin 16 soon.

I paid $25 for my Weller Special Reserve and that was a tad overpriced IMO

I tried it at a bar and I had no desire to seek it out, the 107 is much better but again it's not special enough to seek out I wouldn't say.

They were 19.99 at the grocery store near me. Hearing that the special reserve is going for $60 is gross

I've had the Weller Special Reserve. My local liquor guy saved me a bottle during the height of the pandemic to try. Personally I was unimpressed. It was okay in cocktails but not very good neat.

great episode!! Just confused as to why Rex used Makers instead of actual Buffalo Trace. That's the same price as standard Makers ($35) and it's from the same distillery. Maker's seemed too much of an outlier.

Rarely find Weller SR in Louisiana, but I find it everywhere in Texas for retail ($25 or less). WLW is the best bourbon I’ve tasted, but can’t find that one anywhere.

If I could find any Weller I wouldn’t pay any way near the prices you stated. I find them to be more myth than legend.
