You’re killing it as always. I’ve been relatively disconnected from the whiskey world for about a year now. The hype and d-baggedness has taken most of the fun out of it so I’ve pretty much stepped away from buying any more bottles. I haven’t bought a bottle in a long time so I’m kinda blanking out on prices relative to your list. I was at a restaurant the other night - the bar had the whole Buffalo Trace line up including this year’s Antique collection. This is rare in my area so I decided to break my self-imposed embargo and try the Wm Larue Weller. $110 for a pour. Nothing but harsh barrel for me so my personal opinion is to strike it from your list. Paying that much for a pour of a highly allocated bottle and being severely disappointed has also reinforced my view on what I used to love - it’s a lot of hype - I wouldn’t pay retail for that bottle. Still watching your channel but stepping away from whiskey has been nice. Stay well and continued success with your life.

100% agree with the concept of diminishing returns. We have bottles that we gladly paid $200 for and love... and that subsequently lost over and over in blind battles to whiskeys that are sub-$100. And I mean, there are three Matt Madness round wins between the two of us, which means we're spitting truth bombs.

I'm also a fan of the 2XO line up as well. I came across the 2XO Gem of Kentucky, and snatched it up at the $200 price point. People don't realize this is a single barrel offering; compared to the previous blends. It's fantastic for my taste profile! I was at another store and found the same barrel # on the shelf and decided to pass though. A couple of days later I found a different barrel #, and now I have bottles from barrels #'s 70 and 71. No regrets! These are fantastic! It's a very complex experience with the high rye mash bill.

I thought it was a little boring unfortunately. And also, BTAC is showing up in my area at $179/ea not sure if that's an official srp increase...
