      Well first I just look for a dark fruit. Generally in a bourbon this old those dark fruits generally come out cherry or blackberry to me. It's all subjective but cherry is a bit more medical to me and blackberry is a sweet Jam.

    I gave a whiskey collection of about 70 bottles of bourbon rye scotch and Irish Whiskey but it's a "working man's" Whiskey collection. 25 to 75 dollars is my broad sweet zone for price I have a couple of 100 dollar scotch and Irish Whiskey bit the vast majority of my collection is 25 to 75 bucks. The special releases are cool but somewhat frustrating too good luck finding it and if it's 275 retail it's gonna be 750 on secondary I cant go there

    Old Crow is more complex and harder to appreciate, at a fraction of the price. One must take time with Old Crow and give it a chance to frolic with the senses. No easy vanilla, cherry, Spice, sweets or nuts. Just a badassnrss of layers that rival the most excruciating nebiollos. I call it the Uper Bourbon (like Super Tuscsn). Sick value: nasty quadruple bass- 32nd kick drum notes at 257bpm in triplets. Blast beats using your third arm and a nasty cask of dank fruit that survived a candida infection. Honestly, me and Poseidon chill- drinking this on top of the gates to hell. You don't need Heaven Hill anything. Just trade in your rain coat dor a last hit of MDMA. Sanford and Son was a fantastic show. Better with Old Crow. HH is lame like Martin or Seinfeld. OLD Crow is like F.R.I.E.D.S who TURN on each other and Amber Turd into each other's high thread count bed sheets.

      I went to a whiskey festival last year and sampled about 15 different bourbons. I tried one from Texas that tasted good but when they told me it cost $150 a bottle I politely walked away. I then tried another that was just as good and when I asked the price they told me $30 which made me smile. This was Cooper's Craft and they were sold out so I picked one up at a local store and am still amazed at the quality for the price.

  • @Condor987
    @Condor987 2 роки тому +1

    I know you mentioned it being HH making their answer to BTAC et al. My only problem there is that BT is still keeping MSRP considerably lower than today’s market would allow them to. When you’re looking at ultra aged whiskey with a $100 MSRP and your response is to release something comparable for 3x the price, what does that mean? Is it truly right to say HH is charging a fair price in that light? (In your opinion)

    • @TheMashandDrum
      @TheMashandDrum  2 роки тому +3

      let's be honest all of the Buffalo Trace msrp's are a joke. it's extremely rare to find a Buffalo Trace antique collection bottle at retail. I think heaven Hill is pricing their stuff more accordingly to today's market rather than Buffalo Trace that under prices and knows that their bottles will be upcharged four to five times the retail price.

    • @kamahhl
      @kamahhl 2 роки тому

      A big difference is that BTAC was released long ago, and even raised to 100 they don't make sense in today's market. HH just released this in a crazy time in the bourbon market, fairly priced imo. Look at Michters prices lol.

    Not to second-guess your evaluation, but a $300 retail bottle needs to be almost flawless. If a $300 bottle doesn't blow you away I question the value. Even in this market. The 17+ year mix is impressive, but only if the drink backs it up.
