A Pappy Van Winkle Alternative From Missouri?

  • Опубліковано 4 лип 2024
  • Pappy Van Winkle is undoubtedly the most sought after bourbon. Unfortunately it is nearly impossible to find at the suggested retail price, and many of the alternatives have very different flavor profiles. I found a bourbon from Missouri that has a similar recipe as PVW. Is it a good alternative? Watch to find out.

  • @tracybrewer9921

    For clarification. There's two BiB, The Soft Red Wheat and Straight Whiskey and a Rickhouse Proof of each of those mash bills. A total of 4 different core lineup bottles. Also lots of HiVee Supermarket barrel picks out there worth picking up. The gift shop usually has something neat and exclusive as well.

    Thanks for sharing! IME, the Bardstown Origins BiB (the black label with a Wheated mash bill) gives Weller 107 a run for the money. The Ben Holliday BiB seemed to have an ethanol burn on the palate and is more disjoint in flavor compared to both the Weller 107 and Bardstown Origins.

    I've been pleasantly surprised with the BiB standard offering from Ben Holladay - but never have seen the Rickhouse Proofs in person. I have heard good things, and above all it's neat since a brand that was nowhere on the map a couple years back suddenly coming out with things as good as they are. I look forward to see what they come out with in future!

    As much as I like this, I just don't think this is a fair comparison. The Van Winkle is an elite bourbon that is hard to compare to anything. Maybe you should have tried Holladay's more limited items like the recent Ben Holladay Bourbon Lore 18 Barrel Blend, their Holladay Ancient Cave Collection, or maybe a Single Barrel (Store Pick).
    I do think Holladay is a great bourbon and the BIB version is great and the Rickhouse version is well worth the money. If you come across any of these it is well worth the money for a bottle. And don't worry about the difference between the 6 year and 7 year BIB, it's not noticeable. Have a GREAT day!

    • @BourbonRealTalk

      I tried a number of the other limited offerings with Tim King over the weekend. We just didn't get a chance to film with them. I have to have a click bait title to get people to watch videos, so comparing something to PVW is a tactic that works. I do happen to find it a great wheated bourbon alternative to the BT wheated bourbon mash bill since it is fruity and not nutty.

    Bourbon Lore says they didn’t pay any “whisky tubers” but some compensation had to be given to get 3-4 of the major channels to give a review in this bottle all within 48-72 hours of each other. Sounds like great marketing and a plan to make sure they sell out. Congrats on doing just that! A massive success for this bottle launch.
