@@bourbonbill I'll have to see if I can find one somehow, maybe online. I have a burgeoning collection of 50ml bottles. I always find them amusing. For example, I don't much care for Willet, but a 50ml Willet pot still bottle? I mean... who can resist that? 😁 Same with the fetus-Blanton's (that's right, because "baby Blanton's" is what we call the 375ml).
Great comparisons! And hey, finally a video where I've actually tried all the bottles! I tried 1oz of RHF at a bar and I was very underwhelmed. It is good, dont get me wrong, but for secondary? Please... Just slightly better than Blanton's. By 10% maybe. None of us will ever see it at retail unless you win some sort of lottery. JJB is excellent. When the hype started a couple of years ago, I bought several online for $59. No regrets. Great bourbon that I would pay up to $70 for. I've tried several Benchmark products and I really dont like them. They come off so bright and young...no depth. Definitely get the young grain note. If you are a collector or connoisseur, I think you have to really be in love with BT to consider having any of those in your collection. Cheers everyone.
@@bourbonbill They were gone in less than a minute. I was lucky to get the weller. When I loaded the page, the RHF wasn't loaded yet, but the weller was. I checked out the weller and went to grab a RHF, but it was gone. I would have preferred the RHF, but I'll take what I can get. Do you think JD SBBP Rye is worth $100? I saw a 134 proof bottle, but obviously $100 is a bit of a premium on it.
@@bourbonbill Your Sagamore reviews got me to give Sagamore and now other ryes a try. I've tried 4 Roses SiB, Thomas H. Handy, and Sazerac 18, and did not care for the rye spice on them. I just assumed all ryes were like that. But I see stuff like Sagamore and JD SBBP Rye get favorable reviews, and I was surprised by Sagamore. I picked up 3 of the Manhattan Finish Sagamore, so I'm eyeing a JD SBBP Rye to try.
I found a RHFs by pure luck for $79 last year. It’s the best of the standard BT MB2 by a country mile. Let’s face it, we all want it to try it and to collect. JJB is a great bottle as well. Cheers any thanks BB!
79 is a good price and well worth a pickup at that. I get people want to collect it im just helping those feel less anxious that didn’t get it lol don’t overspend for it
Had a pour of rockhill farms at a bar. So glad I never paid the ridiculous prices I have seen it for ($250-$399). Its good ( much better than blantons ) but I wouldnt pay a penny over msrp for it. I really dont see why people go so crazy for this stuff. Give me a knob creek 12 that I can easily find for $65 and I’ll be a happy camper.
That John J Bowman is a tough one to beat. Great video!
Thanks James for the sample now I can say I’ve tried Rock Hill Farms!
Where are you getting blantons in pa I cant even get regular buffalo trace here in my area?
It comes usually once a month or so if you go to a premium store on drop day you can usually get one but the mini came from online
@@bourbonbill thank you for the info sir
John J single barrel is excellent. Friendship and Saubels got store picks last year and they are fantastic!!
I’ve never had a store pick but I can only imagine it’s even better
Love the BB Shirt! Never been able to find a Rock Hills Farm in the wild. Big fan of John J Bowman Single Barrel. 🥃
Well Dave don’t worry about Rock Hill Farms it’s good but if you got a good John J you are close enough
Where did you find that Blanton's airplane shot? That's *ADORABLE.* 😂
Haha the blantons minis aka foals instead of horseys. Pa puts them online every bone and then

Haha all good points. I’m glad you could fully drink along on this one!
PA had 2 recent drops of RHF for $50. I missed the second one by less than a minute, but was able to pick up a Weller SiB for $50.🤷♂
I missed them all lol oh well I’m not upset about those two bottles

@@SigSauerSaucethey absolutely drink like they are worth 100 but honestly they are getting more prevalent so I would hold out for one closer to msrp

JJB is fairly tough to get in VA. It sells out in about a day. Similar to ER in PA
Yeah I’ve heard that it’s hard to get now hopefully availability picks up

@@bourbonbill For sure. You’re the most sensible guy on here. I’d pay up to $100 if I didn’t have one.
I've got both gonna try it...
Let me know how you like it
LOL! Love the little horsey! Great video! Thank you.
Thanks for watching and yeah the little horsey is cool but the liquid inside is questionable lol
I see the john j every other month just north of pa 10 miles usually for 60 bucks, one store still has it for 75 right now
Okay great news that it’s still findable
Rock Hill Farms is great at msrp. However, I prefer 1792 BIB. Not sure where I'd put John J Bowman as I haven't blinded that one much
That’s a good one to compare I didn’t have any 1792 BIB left but i remember it was decent stuff
A couple of Rockhills were selling in the UK for 200 British dollhairs but I passed. Didn't reckon it would've been a good buy considering its MSRP.
200 British is more than 200 is clams so yeah I would be a hard pass on that as well
finally got one for a deuce. RHF is the nectar of the gods
Haha you have the one I’ve never seen a bottle of.
I’ve only seen Rock Hill Farms once and it was priced at $350.
Wow hard pass at that price
rock hill farms is $340 here in ny......smh
That’s a hell no
Had a pour of rockhill farms at a bar. So glad I never paid the ridiculous prices I have seen it for ($250-$399).

Damn right KC12 smokes it
All 3 of those first ones are NOT worth more than $20 🤫
Well 20 seems a bit short haha but we all know I’m not a fan of normal blantons
Tell em suck it billy!!!
Haha it’s good just wouldn’t pay secondary for it
