Cheapest Heaven Hill 17 is $1300 plus tax on the secondary. But still possible to find Hardins Creek 211 months for under $220. I think Heaven Hill 17 is just famous for its name and no one even knows about the Hardins Creek 211 months old. It's probably the best secrete in bourbon world while supplies last!
It absolutely is the hidden gem of bourbon
I saw a HH 18 once and a friend offered $400 for it. The store passed as the owner wanted it for his collection. He dodged a bullet on that one. I love the Jacob’s Well batch 2 and the ECBP C923 is the best of the ECBP s that I’ve tried. The only one that gives it a run for the money is a 10 year store pick at 135 proof. Great review with lots of great comparisons.
Thanks James and yeah for sure. If you want a HH heritage focus on the HH17 out of three they have done
As always, appreciate the comparison to other bottles.
What microbatch is your C923? A22 or A23?
I forgot to be honest but it was the one many people thought was better
This HH 18 was in the May allocated raffle along with a Blanton's Gold and Elmer T Lee among others. I got called third and was able to snag the ETL for $50. I'm glad I didn't get called first because I probably would have picked this HH 18 up and been mega disappointed.
I mean pricing aside from a taste standpoint HH18 is the best of those three but as far as value yeah ETL for $50 you could trade up to a much better bottle with that
You can double your estimate of c923 secondary
Dang really I saw people offering them for $150 or less just last week
@@bourbonbill Yea I just got one last week in my area (Northern VA) for $150
I saw one today for $130 cash
@@Mcrichalot12Yep secondary is 140-150 all day 🥃
Wow, some crazy heavy hitters in that video! I'm sure you had a tough evening filming this. Lol. Great job on giving us comparable bottles at different price points. Brilliant!
BTW, I got to try HH17 at a LLS. Owner gave me a pour and, like you, I truly believe it is one of the greatest whiskeys I have ever tasted.
Haha yeah it was a struggle to drink good whiskey like that.
OOOHHHH NOOOOOOOO Bourbon Bill - this is the one unicorn bottle I was actually able to get in an allocated bottle drop! Now what am I gonna do????? ffffffuuuuddgggeeeeeeee
Trade it for a HH17 lol
I got one recently also. I couldn't care less that most are saying it's nothing special. It's special to me and will be used as a special pour 🤷🏾♂️
Now that Hardin's Creek Jacob's Well #2 is stellar - grabbed a few backups of that beast.
Yeah I still
Need to find a backup myself
I went to Jim Beam a couple weeks ago. They didn’t have any Hardins Creek. Only Lineage for $250, Little Book and Bookers.
The lineage while super expensive would tempt me. I just got a sample but haven’t reviewed it yet
@@bourbonbill I tried it at the sample bar, then splurged on a bottle
For me, $250 is a special occasion bottle
@@larryowens675I’m sure I’ll love it
What's up Bourbon Bill. Wow I hate to hear you were disappointed and wasted your money.Also the video you did on Sagamore Wiskey I went to go buy it but they were sold out of the one you had in the video so I got Sagamore Rye Wiskey Cask Strength and Sagamore 8year Rye Wiskey Reserve Series. Give me your opinion on those two selections Bourbon Bill I will greatly appreciate it and thank you in advance.
Sure the sagamore 8yr is one of my favorites from them I did a review on it awhile ago and it placed in my top 10 ryes of the year for 2023. Their cask strength is always great a blend of 7yr and 4yr but it’s like 70% 7yr or some thing like that it’s a shelfer in most places sagamore is sold and great value
The Sagamore 8 Year is absolutely stellar - probably the best rye whiskey that nobody talks about. It's up there with Michter's Barrel Strength and other heavy hitter ryes.
@@paulgrace1279yeah agree Sagamore 8yr is a hitter it beats most michters barrel strength to me. They are actually doing a sagamore 9yr this fall
@@bourbonbill yup - heard that when I picked up that glorious Naranja finish bottle.... Top of my list in terms of rye to get this fall
@@paulgrace1279 thanks
Great review @bourbonbill
Thanks
