    W12 definitely isn’t worth secondary prices

    Makers Cask Strength sucks. Tried my private selection side by side and Cask Strength is just super meh compared to their better stuff.

    Hey guys, if anyone finds a bottle of Evan Williams Single Barrel barreled on 5/7/13, can you buy it and let me know so I can buy it off you? The April to June bottles are out and about. 20220123_212705.jpg

    Underwhelming for sure. I did like the makers 46 cask strength but probably not worth the price increase over regular 46

    Neither is Weller's 12 though. It's solid but that's it.

    My bad.

    Carry on.

    W12 is very good, just not great like OWA.

    It's honestly been ages since I've had W12. I do enjoy OWA quite a bit.

    I just think the Buffalo Trace stuff tends to be a bit over hyped.

    What's the secondary on Birthday Bourbon these days? I had it several years ago and loved it but haven't been paying close attention for a few years now because secondary just got out of control on everything.

    Your Google machine is fibbing.

    $900-1,000 seems more accurate. It was $600 not even a year ago…

    I just had a glass of it in the bar for $15

    Looked up the proof and was shocked at the $$$ it said

    I knew 23 yr was expensive but I didn't realize ppl would pay over $1k for the 10 yr

    Shit has basically doubled in the last year. I have two unopened Booker’s Ryes that I’m thinking about finally selling because I’ve seen them moving for close to $2500 each. It’s an amazing whiskey, but I can get a lot of good whiskey for 5k.
