IT’S FINALLY HERE!
I Love You Bro ❤
I bought a house with a bar in it. It wasn't a great bar, but I jazzed it up and added a bunch of bottles of everything, thinking it would be a great social room for friends. It seems none of our friends are drinking like they used to. So now I have a lot of liquor we will never drink. 😕
I'm with this idea 100%. Secondary prices on this whiskey is stupid.
Which is your favorite Whistlepig?
Supply and demand is as America as it gets.
Where are you? What about this year? 2024. Half over already!
Your bottle must be different than mine as my bottle says "distilled in Vermont, Kentucky, Indiana.
what happened to weekly whiskey?
I hate flippers. But I have a question. I am in a giveaway for a bottle I already have and don’t want another. I want to be able to try products that are new to me. So if I won the giveaway would I be a hypocrite trying to sell the bottle at MSRP/ make a trade?
Good podcast, I listen to the show often. How do you register the bottle? I have vi Samurai.
Just found your Channel, and Subbed. I’m a HUGE Fan of Penelope! They are doing Great things with MGP Juice!
Love John Rich ❤
Did I steal this at 300.00
KC12 (100) always makes me pass on KC18
Never seen the Gold on shelf in Maine or New Hampshire. Regular Seagrass and Grey Label Seagrass is always on bar and backup on shelf.
Bumping video as spot on
Secondary market sellers are getting most of their items from distributors, unfortunately - not flipping bottles. Keep in mind, flippers are competing with drinkers and hoarders. The reality is such that distributors scalp at least half of allocated bottles to the secondary.
Great review! Bought this as a gift for my daughter’s boyfriend. Hope he likes it as much as you both do!
I hope so too!
Picked up a bottle for 149.99 today. Can't wait to try it!!!!
I have two bottles of the Laphroaig 25. To me it's worth the price. I am a Lagavulin fan and that's how I for into peated scotch but I have come to adore Laphroaig and Ardbeg just as much. This expression is delicious and special! This is a more elegant Laphroaig in my opinion. For me this is a fabulous pour and what a finish! Cheers! 🙂
Great review on this, my whole family is Greek so cant wait to see everyones reaction to it. Im waiting to open my bottle on Christmas Eve, cant wait.
3:12 agree, tastes fantastic out of a Four Roses glass that matches the bottle shape :)
It's a $600 bottle of creative mind... Te ten is partially aged in Raisin and mead barrels, but comes in at only 105 proof
I bought this recently and was really impressed! Similar to Heaven Hill BiB, but better. Less bite and richer flavor with a touch of peanut like you get from some Jim Beam products.
Thanks for the review. About to try tonight a Driftless Glen cask strength store pick that I picked up a couple of weeks ago.
Yes, very good sweet bourbon. One of my new favorites.
For over 520$ , it BETTER be the best version of Seagrass!! LOL So, i did had a pour of this from a bottle a friend got a few months ago that he received as a gift from his parents..lol Its nice, even better than both the other version of Seagrass that i've had, but "425$ better"?...idk..
The price to performance ratio in the ultra-premium category is almost always so hard to judge. Honestly, I've found that my favorite is just the standard Seagrass that can be had for under $80. 🥃 Cheers --John
bring back the videos!
We've been diving deep on the podcast front lately, but we'll bring some video content back! Don't forget to find The Whiskey Raiders Podcast 🥃
Haven’t seen any new content for awhile now. Hope you’re both doing ok.
same miss their videos
We're doing well! Sorry to seemingly disappear, we've been focused on producing content for The Whiskey Raiders Podcast.
$40 in CT. Just bought my second bottle today. One of the smoothest 100 proof I’ve tasted to date.
10000% agree. I love trying new bourbons. But if I could get 200ml instead of full size I could try so much more
Scarouse synonym: Fear Boner. Good vid fellas!
New subscriber. Nice review. I have not had Barrel #32, but love the #33. Recently picked up #34 and Vantage. I like #33 best, then #34 and then Vantage. 🥃
How much did you pay for 27 and 32? Outside the US, the prices are just ridiculous so was just curious. Also, is the 25 a good entry level for people who are new to peated whiskeys.
I don't think this was mentioned.........but Georgetown, strategically, is a very important and smart choice. And rather odd that no one picked it prior. Georgetown is where the most famous story of Bourbon's creation took place. As Elijah Craig reputedly first developed it at Royal Spring around 1800. Hes at least the first guy on record to use charred oak barrels in making his whiskey. So it has a reputation for being the "Birthplace of Bourbon." Blue Run is going to use Royal Spring as their water base. So they would be the only distillery using the water source of the original Bourbon. In addition, Georgetown sits on TWO national Interstates. Interstates that link it to cities such as St. Louis, Miami, Cincinatti, Detroit, Louisville, and Atlanta. These guys aren't plopping that 50 million down for nothing. They obviously have a smart marketing gameplan. It may be a gamble, but its the CORRECT gamble.
Great insight! Thanks for taking the time to put all of this information down. Cheers! 🥃
@@WeeklyWhiskey No problem, its a pleasure. I wanted to add one more thing. Given that they literally named Blue Run in reference to Royal Spring......i have to think that Georgetown was ALWAYS gonna be their Phase 2, if Phase 1 was successful enough. But i understand building right off the bat was gonna be too risky. They had to play with the product itself first.
Just found a c918 for retail 😳 Its reminiscent of less refined HH17.
Good find! Cheers 🥃
I bought this last night and have had three pours so far. Each one gets worse. The upper pallet has a lot of bitter/sour, the middle is Ok, and then it finishes with a chemically turpentine note. I don’t get any of the oak influenced Carmel you guys are talking about. I couldn’t even finish my glass this afternoon. I really enjoy Larceny, Willet, Regier (my fave), and even tho I’m not a rye guy, 6yr and 10 yr Pig is awesome. Is there a such thing as getting a bad bottle? I really had big hopes about this bottle.
Sure there's definitely a chance for a "bad bottle" but it's also just possible this one wasn't for you. It's worth noting that this is a blend of MGP bourbon and WhistlePig's own bourbon. If you have had other 6+ year bourbon from MGP and liked it, this may be indicative that the WhistlePig Bourbon itself isn't something you dig. Thanks for sharing! Cheers 🥃
I had the same experience. Maybe my taste buds are different. I'm still developing my niche. The best tasting straight for me so far are High West (normal bourbon not Campfire or anything else) and small batch 4 Rose's. I also enjoy Elijah, Knob Creek (Rye as well) among a few others. I've yet to dabble into higher end blends of any distiller. Whenever I name something, I mean something you can basically pick off the shelf anywhere. I'm curious to try the Evan Williams Bottled in Bond for $22. A risk, but I'm simply curious.
And no one asked why this is not a STRAIGHT bourbon. I'm curious. Straight bourbons can't have additives such as flavorings or colorings. Does Piggyback bourbon have additives?
If the label says "bourbon" it cannot have additives or flavoring added to it. The "straight" designation (in reference to bourbon) would indicate that it is over four years old; or, of course, over two years old but bearing an age-statement if less than four. Good point, though, and something that rye drinkers should also pay attention to--as rye is not legally protected in the same way as bourbon. Thanks for watching! 🥃
Just bought batch 34. I had a blind taste test of 32, 33, and 34. Batch 34 was my favorite, followed by 33, and 32 last. I have friends who are always blown away by the complexity of Seagrass.
Love seeing this! Comparing these batches can be really fun. 031 still remains a favorite for me, but we both liked 034 as well. Stay tuned for more on that, and don't forget to check us out on the Whiskey Raiders Podcast! Cheers, -John 🥃
Found a RR13 last week for under 75. It was batch 3 so really good but not as good as 1 or 2
Really good, and really (really) good for the price! Cheers 🥃
I paid for a pour of the lot b. I really liked it. I didnt like it enough to pay secondary prices. To make matters worse, the "pappy influence " has inflated the prices of Weller. I dont know if the distributors are to blame or if Buffalo Trace is feeding the problem for profit. The biggest contributing factor is the thise who will pay the exorbitant prices. Why does Buffalo Trace keep creating nee versions of Weller? This takes away from their ability to meet the demand for the products that use the wheated mash bill. Why are they exporting these highly allocated bottles? Why not cut production of the 20 and 23 year old bottles. That way there would be more 10, 12, and 15 year bottles. Maybe the 3 teir system needs to be altered. Why not let the producers have input as to where the bottles are shipped? Send all the 10 year to one set of states. Send all the 12 year to another set and so on. Then rotate every year. The biggest thing that needs to happen is for the consumers to unite and stop buying. This would not only stick it to the flippers, it would get the attention of the producers
For what it's worth, Buffalo Trace has invested $1.2B in expanding. In 2022 they released press info describing how they have increased their products to consumers by 50%. Of course, that doesn't mean there is 50% more Pappy Van Winkle (or Weller, Eagle Rare, Blanton's, etc.) on the shelves or anything like that. I feel like your sentiment of consumers who are willing to pay whatever the price of admission is just to have something rare are contributing more than their share to continually push hype (read: increase demand and decrease supply). Thanks for watching, and for taking the time to share your thoughts. We appreciate it more than we can describe! Cheers, -John 🥃
No comparison for me. I like WFP but I like the Larceny better especially the C922.
Hard to argue with that!
I guess I’m part of the problem. Someone offers me 10x the money I paid, they can have it. 4 bottles of pappy or a brand new Triumph street triple motorcycle. That was an easy decision.
Everyone has different reasons for what they do, we get it. Thanks for watching! 🥃
I saw 2 of these for 499.99 each here in NC. I bought one and sent my wife over for the other. Sold the second one for 800 to a rich asshole neighbor of mine. So I paid roughly 250 OTD for mine :)
Nothing like neighbor helping neighbor!
Love all the convo about food and cooking. In addition to whiskey, I'm also really into good food and cooking, especially smoking meat. Would love it if you were to include more to talk about these topics more!
Awesome feedback, Tim. Thanks for taking the time to comment--and for watching as well 🥃
I have 2 but waiting for a right time to open it was hard to find
Good problem to have! 🥃
Just picked one up last night for our bar. Excited to crack it open and give it a shot
Hope you loved it as much as we did! Cheers 🥃
After striking out several times, was pretty sure I just wasn't going to see this one, but finally found LBP a few days ago for $69.99 and based on the reviews I've heard, picked up 2 bottles!
Strong move
Love KC. Sucks I was out of town for month when it dropped. All gone
Hopefully you find a place to give it a try! Sorry for the bad luck. Thanks for watching! 🥃
