    I think all Bourbon whiskey drinkers can agree that the prices are out of fu*king control.

      This, our local liquor stores does a whiskey release event every fall with their huntable whiskeys/Bourbons. prices went from MSRP a few years ago to well above that now. hard to convince myself to go wait in line early in the morning to spend 50 bucks on Weller Special Reserve.

    "Anything Weller". I don't hunt it, but Special Reserve at the 30 price point we have it for here, is solid.

    Starting to agree on everything Weller. The moment a store gets it in Oregon it is gone and it feels like a lot of store owners back door it. On our family road trip I was blown away at some of the secondary prices…saw $650 for antique 107!!!??? Love Weller but there are other great wheated bourbons and it’s simply not fun when special reserve is the only bottle you can get (and even that’s a treat).

    Yep I’m right there with you. I stopped hunting Weller a while back because I don’t like it. The prices are getting a little crazy. I bought a Bombergers yesterday and probably paid too much but there are all kinds of bourbons that you used to have a hard time finding just sitting on the shelf. That’s how you know the economy sucks.

    Agree with you 💯. I love an old carter,but I haven't bought one in years. My state does a monthly, quarterly, and, end of the year drop at MSRP on allocated bottles that's the only time I'm buying.

  • @jamiebrandon8475
    @jamiebrandon8475 Місяць тому +2

    I just got a Weller special reserve off the secondary market because I had never had one. In my opinion, I’d rather have ancient age for $15. The Weller had that mildew, barnyard, funk, that I can’t get past. I tried it in an old fashion and had to pour it out. Frey ranch is another one that has that same flavor profile.

    My friend bought a bottle of Weller FP for $150 the other week and let me try it. It's not bad, but it's not even as good as something like 1792 FP or JDSBBP which are both like a third of the price he paid.

    • @2TEN90
      @2TEN90  Місяць тому

      Not arguing that. Again, at MSRP most Weller products are very good buys, you just almost never see them at msrp unfortunately. Cheers!

    • @marriner5
      @marriner5 Місяць тому

      Yeah, but you said “no longer hunting.” This implies not paying large markups and searching low and high. If you are hunting in the Midwest, you can find it close to retail. Not saying it’s easy. But, you used the word “hunting.” So, I suppose, if you would buy it if you found it for close to retail, then you are indeed still hunting it.

  • @reubenco
    @reubenco Місяць тому +1

    I love MWND but agree it shouldn’t be marked up when it is so expensive to begin with. And I’d take a shot at a Weller FP at 90 bucks, can’t find it anywhere in the DC area for anything close to that.

    I'll say it.. I don't give a sh*t about Blantons (even at msrp). Also, any bourbon that whiskey youtubers are gushing over, that in turn, cause fomo which is a reason for allocation.. those can get f*@ked on as well. There's a world of great whiskies that anyone can find on any random day sitting on the shelf 😎

      @2TEN90  Місяць тому

      So yes...and I said I just bought a bottle of Weller full proof for $90, but to me it's good and not great and certified not worth the hunt and crazy prices it often gets.

    • @2TEN90
      @2TEN90  Місяць тому

      I get that, but just think there is so many other whiskeys out there that are way better than all of thr Weller lineup for a fraction of the often marked price Weller bottles get. Again, it's not that I think any of the Weller bottles taste bad, just that I think there a ton of other bottles at the fraction of the price that I like over any of the Weller bottles.

      Yes..100% it's not that I don't like it but at the crazy prices it's often set at it is not. But at $54 it's a buy for sure.
