It’s to scale too ;)

Same

😂

I thought you were talking about the bottle choices. NOPE its the monster in the back

Dan likes to bottle chug that one😂

They’re all right…

Im not a big fan of KC, but id certainly take it over traveller.

😂😂

De-monetized!

That's why we have collections... to get us through the lean times without us having to do without:)

I know that mine is a Batch 21-2 and I love it!

Hey Nancy! Any insight on Cigar Blend Batch 275? I want to pull the trigger but I can't find any info about its makeup. Cheers! @whiskeyblenderfraley4235

They arent encoutaging people to over spend. We are all adults. We do what we want. They are just telling people how much its worth to them. If anything, its telling people not to over spend because most of these bottles cant be found at retail, so they are telling people they wouldnt spend the 100s of dollars they are on the secondary for, but if they have to pay more for it, where they believe the cut off should be.

I finally got an exceptional series. Every time i seen one i didnt want to gamble the 180-200. I found one thats a 9yr x month for 120. I couldnt say no. Even as a 9yr, its still exceptional. I still dont know if id pull the trigger for 180-200, but damn its tempting.

The big advantage of the state-owned liquor store in my state...IF (a big IF) you can find the bottle on the shelf, it'll always be at MSRP.

I got jack 10 batch 3 for 89, my brother jack 12 batch 2 for 99. Wish i was able to find a jack 12 batch 1. Id pay up a bit for that one. Id go 120 maybe 150. I probably wouldnt buy jack 10 again unless it was batch 3, and id prob go to 100. For jack 12 batch 2, idk if i would go much more than 100.

I can't believe that, seriously? Because I hate that chain, their selection is terrible where I am in multiple locations. I have given up hope of ever finding those two for MSRP unless it's in random traveling years from now

@@BigBadJerryRogers I talked to a couple of employees awhile back and they told me what day to stop by when they open and ask what came in today. In the last three months I’ve picked up Blanton’s Gold 180.00 Stagg 23C 72.00 Michters 10yr rye 160.00 Shenks 95.00 Bombergers 110.00 (passed) Old Forester 1924 135.00 (passed) Blanton’s 60.00 J Daniels 10yr 85.00 J Daniels 12yr 95.00

I'm glad someone can get it! There's no honey hole like that in Michigan that I've found. I'm glad someone is enjoying these whiskeys! 👍

Same here. And I gave the 10 year to a friend as a birthday gift.

@@BigBadJerryRogers last Wednesday morning I scored a EH Taylor single barrel 85.00 and a Stagg jr 2017 batch 72.00

What area are you in? Still not seeing them much in SE TN

Those are regular rye releases. The bottle reviewed is the special release

I see them everywhere too. But Coy Hill is $800.

I still dont see the bp ryes like i do the bp whiskey. I see the bp whiskey everywhere, only seen the bp rye twice, and it was the same store. One a store pick and i think one was a release/non store pick. Wish i had grabbed it but i got a 4r pick instead. Stupid move i know, especially since the 4r pick wasnt as good as i was hoping.

Agreed. At least for the newer batches. The batches from roughly under 100 were soooo much better. Such a shame

@@thomasmichael6509 Never tried them myself so I'll never know. I'm happy with the one I got from this year though.

Paid $150 in NJ Total Wine and More

For me, its a skip at 200. Would have to be 150 for me, eventhough i never had it, i just dont value much whiskey as much as 200. Especially since ive got rip 10 and 12 for 160 each. For a cigar blend/batch/series, ill take rye cigar series for 100-110 all day. I dont see JMCB being worth double that. Buzzard roost cigar rye for 70 is pretty good too. First pour was absolutely horrible. I actually gave it to my bro as a joke. Couple weeks later i had it again and it was so much better. Luckily he gave it back to me since it was part of a joke as an xmas present. I felt bad taking it since i did give it to him, but i did give him another bottle. Alberta premium cask strength rye. Im not a fan of it, he said he liked it the couple times i brought it up, when i gave it to him after he gave back the BR CR, he said he didnt care for it, so again i felt bad taking the BR CR and giving him the AP. I dont drink much at home and bring bottles to his house all the time so he knows i can always bring it up if he wants it

Mostly picks at my house

I haven't heard that, we've had batches between 150-205 and they were all pretty okay.

@@BourbonJunkies I heard a couple of whiskey tubers make that comment? I wouldn’t know:)

I mean it’s fine. But it’s also like $35 and even at that price it’s not worth getting a second bottle.

Thank you for this! Cheers!

Oh man, that stuffs nasty. My brother has the cask strength. Its one of those bottles when talking about bad whiskey, that one cant be left out. Hes had it for over a year now and its barely touched. We had a tiny pour a few days ago n after the smallest sip, i couldnt take another. He was all congested and couldnt taste anything, well barely, so his wife and i told him to take a swig of that to clear him out. Yup...still not good

Im sorry for you. Hopefully friends and family will gift you bottles of good stuff. Not that those arent good, but there's way too much out there to only drink those 2 cheapo bottles. To each his own.

We were wrong it's not younger whiskey for the most part. Nancy confirmed this.

Its a decanter

Agreed. After roughly batch 100 they switched their sourced whiskey to much younger stuff

I appreciate your post. I’ve had a JD12 in my cart several times from secondary at 300 and just couldn’t justify spending that much

I've seen them around me for 300 and they do sell. I couldn't bring myself to pay that.

For that much I would hate myself too much to enjoy it. I would have to wonder if the same people spending like that complain about inflation. That would be funny.

Cigar Blend is not $250 in VA its $180 i bought a bottle 2 weeks ago wish it was $100 though got a bottle of stagg the same day for $60

@@stevenhall7012 yeah I don’t know where in VA you’re getting yours for $180 fella, let alone finding it on shelves but up north it’s allocated and gone in hours. If you know better, good for you.

Idk where you're seeing it for 100. Distillery doesnt even sell it to the distro that cheap. Must have been mistaken for the triple cask or murray hill. No way cigar blend was 100.

@@jacksmith2315 flathead liquor in Kalispell. Check em out bud.

@@jacksmith2315 I don’t know how you could know what a distillery sells their product at (unless you work for them) but the store is Kalispell liquors. Go check for yourself.

So we'd pay less than SRP!

80s and 90s wernt bad. I’d say over 95-100 is where I noticed a difference

Had a 190ish that was great but never an older for comparison.

And why the F is in on my shelf and not Bove’s!?!?

Only if it's in a blind of more than two glasses!

if you've never had it any of them, any of them no matter the batch number is worth it IMO at MSRP of $200. I wouldn't pay over $250 though.

Yea it's not younger, flavor drift from the MGP was what we were told.

Made them

Wait until the legion of people who post the MSRP price they paid for a bottle come into the comment section as well.

Bout $150

Traveler is such a tremendous waste of money. Glorified mixer at best. Not that it’s bad, but all it’s got going is sweetness. Very much like a Canadian whiskey. Have friends that rave about it. Now I know to second guess their judgement 🤣

We were corrected by Nancy, it's not younger whiskey.

@@BourbonJunkies Just worse whisky🤣 Good to know.
