David, we really appreciate how practical your videos are on what you purchase and pass on. I would of asked for a price match too at total wine.😂 We love a good deal too, just picked up two bottles KC 120 Single Barrel at the local pharmacy on clearance for 27 each.
Can't buy them all unfortunately 😆. 27 each for KC single barrel 120 proofs??? You're just stealing!! 😂 I need to find a deal like that. Thanks a million for your view and comment! Truly appreciate it and have a fantastic day! Cheers~
Hey Joseph! Thanks for the awesome compliment! 😊. I'm so grateful for the bottles I got and will enjoy every drop of them, especially with friends and others 😆. I'm also grateful for your view and comment! Thanks a million and cheers ~
Great haul David! Like how you explain on why you pass up on bottles and how you purchased them. Been a very slow month for me and will see what April brings. Cheers!
Hey Jesus! March was a slow month of releases so I can see a good April for you! 😆. It's more fun to tell the bottles I passed on and I think it has helped me control my purchases 🤪. Let's see if that will continue in April. Super grateful for all your awesome support! Thanks for everything and cheers~
I went to Vegas for the first weekend of March Madness and absolutely killed it at Lee’s Discount Liquor. KC18, Frey Ranch SB, Rare Character Exceptional Series 10 yr, Old Forester SBBS, and a John J Bowman, all at very reasonable prices. Took a nearly empty suitcase just so I could bring bottles home.
Nice planning on the suitcase! I'll need to remember that next time I go to Vegas 😆. Really curious regarding your thoughts on the Rare Character Exceptional series so when you have a chance to have a pour, let me know how you like it! Always appreciate your quick view and comment after video launch! Notice all your super support and cheers ~
Mr. Bourbon Dude~ I need to think of a clever idea for a video for those two bottles as just doing a review probably won't justify their awesomeness 😆. Your last couple of videos has been fun to watch and I wish we all lived in a world where we can find all the bottles we want at msrp 😁. Let's hope it comes soon as I'm running low on funds 🤣. Thank you so much for your view and comment! Super appreciate it and cheers~
I would have a tough time passing in the Michter’s 10yr Rye. Not a fan of Amburana either and passed in the Rio several times the last two weeks. I did help a few others get a bottle. Cracks the Springfield Batch last night with a few friends from my local whiskey club and normally we just have small sips from many bottles but we had over 1/2 the bottle and I picked up a 2nd bottles this morning. It has a sweet nose and palate is peanuts and cherry. A slightly different Booker’s taste but very good. I rarely get a 2nd bottle of Booker’s even if good. Wish I had bought a 2nd Pinkie’s Batch. But they are $90 plus tax here. Props for you for not extending yourself and buying a bottle when you are low on whiskey funds. I got a JMCB for 184 and really like it but it’s a lot of money and not sure if I will be replacing it anytime soon. Barrel makes great stuff. Bought both those last month and Foundation is very good. Haven’t cracked the Dovetail yet. Be interested in your take on it. I know I have said it before but love their Grey Label Seagrass. Nothing like the regular Seagrass which is also very good and always on the bar.
Hey John! With your endorsement, I'll be looking for that Springfield batch but without the need the ship 😆. My local Ralph's had the 23-04 batch for 78 so I'm hoping to find it there soon 😆. I'm looking around for that grey label seagrass and will let you know if I find it! Absolutely appreciate all your support for my channel! Thanks a million as always and cheers~
What I scored in March. 2 different McCarthy’s 6 year American single malts, Benriach 16 year, Compass Box Peat Monster Cask Strength, M&H Apex Dead Sea, Col EH Taylor Small Batch. I went ham on Scotch and other whisky in March.
Hey Mike! Those are some fantastic prices! I haven't had the Baker's 7 in a while, let me know how you like it after a pour. Always super appreciative of your view and comment so quickly after video launch! Thanks for everything and cheers~
Hey Mike! That EC toasted is a good one and unfortunately it is allocated in some areas 😢. In California, it is readily available now but it was not easy to find until mid 2023. Hopefully allocation will improve for VA very soon 😆. Super appreciate your view and comment so quickly after video launch! Thanks a ton and cheers ~
David great haul. I had a good month for me but nothing crazy. I have learned to enjoy what you can get and not worry about the bottles you can’t. Always appreciate your content
Thank you~ 😊. I can't do hunting videos so this is as close to a hunting video you can get without showing the stores 😆. Passing on wonderful bottles were hard at first but now that I have been doing more often, it's not too bad . It's like pain tolerance 😂. But I know how fortunate I am to be able to get the bottles I do get so I'll be thankful for that and enjoy every drop 🙏. Always appreciate your support for my channel with your quick view and comment after posting! Thank you for all that you do for this channel and cheers~
Wow, $68 for ECBP is a gr8 get. In Phoenix they are $75+. Mom and pop stores want $80+. Price matching wouldn't work out here. Next month be on the look out for the B batches. Cheers
Hey Jonathan! It's still a 10+ year old barrel proof at $75, so it's a great value in my eyes 👍. I'll do a review soon so hopefully it'll help you make the right decision ~ Thanks again for being a UA-cam member and I won't forget your support! Super appreciate all your support and cheers ~
It’s cool to see someone so local to me because I get to see all these stores I go to and check regularly too, will say hi if I ever catch you around OC! Cheers!
If you ever see me, say hi for sure~ I might be a little awkward at first as I'm not used to people noticing me but after a little bit, I'll be good 😂. Thanks a ton for your view and comment so quickly after video launch! Absolutely appreciate it and cheers ~
Dave. You are right we cant buy them all. I've definitely been more picky and frugal on my bourbon buys. I think they either need to be amazing, not over 150ish. I've definitely been enjoying some good everyday bourbons now, plus what ever i have. Chees brother!
Hey Marvin! If I didn't have this channel (or the Korean one), my buying habits would be so much different 😆. But I still can't buy them all and hope I choose wisely 🤪. Thanks again for everything and cheers ~
That’s why I have a cap on what I’m willing to spend on alcohol. And I don’t have FOMO. I’ve been drinking for a very long time over 40 years and I’ve seen the whiskey market go up and down. In the late seventies I was a George Dickel and Wild Turkey guy when I was in the service. Then the eighties were a lean time and I made the mistake of drinking Canadian whiskey for a short time cause it was cheap and available in the nineties some good juice was coming out and I had the opportunity to drink some great bourbon and whisky. But honestly from there it has gotten crazy up to this point. Now not only is there crazy prices but because of the secondary market people go crazy over anything someone gives a good review on. I now stay in my lane and keep my selection to what I can get and afford. And I’m drinking some great juice knob creek Russell wild turkey. You do a great job on your reviews I enjoy watching and the fact you let everyone know what you’re paying and where you get them from. Continued success. Enjoy!!
Hey Scott! That is awesome and I'm sure you have had some great pours throughout your years of drinking and enjoying whiskeys 😆. So jealous. Unfortunately, most people do not have your experience, knowledge, and the perspective that you do as many have been enjoying whiskeys for not too long and many things they want to try is allocated. It is unfortunate and the reality of today's market. And with people becoming less patient with the world we live in, FOMO will always be a big factor to the whiskey buyer and the distilleries (and distributors & liquor stores obviously). There are some great whiskeys sitting on the shelf and I should do a better job of promoting those. Always greatly appreciate your support and thoughtful comments! Your knowledge and experience is very valuable to me and hope you always keep commenting on my videos 🙏. Thank you again for all your support and cheers ~
Solid haul and fantastic prices. I haven't seen any Barrel Foundation at all around big chain stores around Houston. What is your travel radius when you're out hunting?
My range in hunting is around a 20 mile circle with about 4 stores I go to on a weekend morning. Maybe a total wine or two once or twice a week on my way home after work 😆. Barrell foundation just started showing up in our Total Wine & More so hopefully you'll see it soon in yours. I should do a review on it very soon so I'll let you know how good it is 😉. Thanks a ton for your view and comment so quickly after video launch! Super appreciate it and cheers ~
Hey Frank! I have not had the opportunity to try anything finished in Armagnac casks (that I can remember 😆). I'll need to try it sometime as maybe that will turn my opinion on finished whiskeys 🤔. Thanks as always for your view and comment so quickly after video launch! Cheers ~
Great video man. Appreciate the insights. I did pick up a Jos. Magnus cigar blend a year and a half ago and I definitely overpaid. (Happy birthday to me!) Still never opened it up. Isn’t it funny how we do that?😂
Hey Justin! I do that all the time as well! 😂 Especially with expensive whiskey I know I'll drink too fast and will want to replace very soon. I'm sure if I purchased that bottle I passed on, it'll also sit on my shelf for months! 😆 Thank you so much for your view and comment! Greatly appreciate it and cheers~
Dang, Jack10 and 12? Good stuff! My haul for the month is the Knob Creek pick by Hi Proof. I really enjoy one of the KC picks that I got last year and it rivals with ECBP/Stagg. I also did the KC/Steak rebate thing but not sure when I'll get it haha.
Hey Danny! That $20 rebate is an awesome deal and I need to do it before it expires 😆. Always forget about it. Let me know how to like that hi proof pick as I should make a trip to HI Proof as I want to pick up that discovery #11. Truly appreciate your view and comment so quickly after video launch as you always do! I am so thankful and I am aware of your awesomeness 🫡. Cheers ~
Great bottles David. I bottle killed Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend batch 93 last year. Have batches 181 and 189 in reserve. Would love a RR Rickhouse Camp Nelson F. I think Camp Nelson B is coming out this year. I am too embarrassed to list my March haul. FOMO. 🥃
Hey Dave! Never be embarrassed about your awesomeness! 😆 I just made too many mistakes in the past and now paying for it now by having to pass up on some wonderful bottles 😅. So I passed on the Camp Nelson C as those didn't get the glowing reviews of CNF.. so I'll probably stay on the fence on CNB until I see some reviews. I can't take a chance on what will be a $350+ bottle 😆. So thankful for your view and comment so quickly after video launch as you always do! Always appreciate your awesomeness 😎. Cheers ~
David, I know it is tough passing on great bottles. But the ones you were able to get are bottles I've been looking for. I think that's what makes them special and a treasure when you do actually find them. I can't believe you don't have more supporters. It'll build over time as your popularity grows. Dana
Hey Dana! I'm happy and excited for the support I have with you and Jonathan and any more would just be icing on the cake 😆. I know I need to offer more value to get additional support but I'm always appreciative of just the time support with views and comments from my loyal viewers ☺️. Thanks again for being my #1 Member and I will never forget that 😎. Stay healthy and take care my friend~

Hey Darrell! That is awesome! Kings barrel is not available here so let me know how you like it after you have a pour! Super grateful for all your support and cheers ~
Nice haul, David. Great advice on building relationships with stores. March was a good month for me, 13th Colony 15 year ani., Still Austin CS single barrel, Elijah Craig A124, Jack Daniels SB BP rye 68%, Short Barrel Green River aged in Four Roses barrels 117% pick & an Eagle Rare. Cheers Kevin
Hey Kevin! Great haul! Let me know how good the 13th Colony 15th anniversary is as I'm so curious about it 😆. Super appreciate your view and comment so quickly after video launch! Thanks a ton for all your support and cheers ~
Wow! What a haul Saul! Once you had a pour of the Rio, let me know if I made a mistake by passing on it 😆. Thanks a ton for your view and comment so quickly after video launch! Super appreciate it and cheers ~
I picked up an old Forrester 1924, a 13 colony 15th Anniversary, EH Taylor small batch, 1792 BIB store pick, Russells reserve pick, and an ECBP A124. All for your right around MSRP. I passed on a Four Gate and a Weller full proof store pick. Too expensive.
Hey Scott! Great haul! Let me know your thoughts on the 13th Colony 15th anniversary as I only heard good things on it 😆. Always appreciate your support with views and comments! Thank you for everything and cheers ~
I try to out a twist on these haul videos as I can't do hunting videos 😆. Thanks a ton for your view and comment so quickly after video launch! Super appreciate it and cheers ~
Hi David. Big fan! I recall in one of your video you said you went to Korea and got some wild turkey 12. May i ask which particular liquor shop you visited?
Hey Kei! WT12 is more available than you thank in Korea, but it really depends on where you stay. If you're in the seoul area, I would visit "bottle bunker" at seoul station and lotte world 2 or "wine & more" around yangjae station (they have many stores). I found the best prices at local liquor stores or grocery stores (E-mart, etc.), but you'll need to go to a big one to find it. Good luck and have fun during your trip! Food &drinks are delicious and cheap 😋. Thanks a ton for your view and comment! Greatly appreciate it and cheers ~
I hope Barrell references Wild Turkey's exemplary pricing policy in Korea. Wild Turkey's strong presence in Korea is largely thanks to its affordable prices.
I hope they take notes and price accordingly 😆. Only problem with Korea is they base taxes based on proof and I don't know how wild turkey is able to bypass it. We'll see very soon! Thanks a ton for your view and comment! Greatly appreciate it and cheers ~
@@WhiskeyBank In Korea, the tax on spirits is, regardless of the spirit's proof, applied based on the transfer price of the import. For example, if there's a bourbon priced at $30 and another at $60, their price difference is $30. However, imagine the sales tax is 150%, and their prices would jump to $75 and $150, respectively, widening the price gap to $75. This is what happens with bourbon prices in Korea. Thus, a bourbon with a $20 MSRP in the US might sell for 40,000 KRW in Korea, while ECBP priced at $70 MSRP can go up to 300,000 KRW. In such a system, lowering the transfer price would significantly reduce the market price. The speculation is that Wild Turkey's Korean distributor might have secured a very low transfer price somehow (likely by promising to purchase in bulk?).
@@yeejunghun Wow, I knew there was a large tax, but didn't know it was that much. Let's hope Barrell does some research and doesn't price it above 200,000 won as that seems to be the breaking point. Hopefully it's 150,000 won or less 😆. Thanks a ton for the information!
Always cool to see what you picked up. Sorry you missed out on the single rickhouse. It’s a great bottle. We had it in our whiskey of the year list, and I think if it hadn’t been a fresh crack it would have been top 3. Cheers!
Must be nice! I just was a little too slow 😅. But I'll think as though I saved 350 and can spend that on another bottle 😆. Hopefully rickhouse B will be better! Always appreciate your support with views and comments on my videos! Cheers~
Hey Adam! Your March haul was a every nice house 😆 so I would say you did better than I did. Looking forward to an epic bar! Truly appreciate your view and comment so quickly after video launch as you always do! Thanks for everything and cheers ~
Hey Dave! It was awesome and am grateful I'm in the position able to get these wonderful bottles 😆. Always grateful for all your support as well and thanks a ton for always viewing and commenting on my videos! Cheers~
Excellent haul David The Barrell Foundation is a wonderful bottle, and so is the Seagrass. Wow! $98 for the 12 year JD, that is fantastic. I finally found a bunch of 1792 the SB, BiB, and 12 year. Also picked up the new wheater from Redwood Empire. Cheers!
Hey Rene! Thank you but you had a great haul as well in March! I didn't even know the new wheated bourbon was out for Redwood Empire 😆. Need to look for one. Once you have a pour of it, let me know how you like it. So grateful for all your support with your quick views and comments after launch! It's people like you who make it all worth it to do these videos 🙏. Take care and cheers~
David, it's interesting! I recommend you have a sample before you drop $80 on this bottle. The mashbill contains 4% malt and you definitely notice it the more you sip it. I have only had two small pours over the last two days. Both times I had the impression I was having a blend of a light single malt and a wheated bourbon.
저도 자랑하나 하겠습니다! 믹터스 10년 버번 23년 릴을 국내에서 30에 구매했어요 얼마전 뚜따했는데 엄청 맛있었습니다... 그리고 최근 한국에선 와일드 터키 켄터키 스리핏 싱글배럴 캠프넬슨-F에서 나온 바틀이 종종 보이는데 러셀 캠프넬슨 F와 아주 비슷하다는 썰이 돌아서 헌팅 다니는 분들이 계십니닼ㅋㅋㅋ
Nice haul! I have a Magnus #237 and it’s great! My store friend is getting me the Booker’s at his cost 72.00 so can’t pass:) The EC A124 is really nice! JD 10yr so nice! JD 12yr yeah!
Hey Nick! Bookers at that price is a buy anytime! I should have probably purchased the joseph magnus cigar blend but oh well, can't regret now 😆. Let me know how you like the Springfield batch when you have a pour! Super appreciate your view and comment so soon after video launch as you always do! Thanks for everything and cheers ~
Blanton’s for $65!?! Wow. By me at retail they are $82. Also I second the relationship building although it can get expensive. Total wine price matching is very iffy in my area. They already price real low. It’s now a thing of you’re in a mom n pop store and they’re at or below total wine pricing buy it.
Hey Dean! I'm sure the days of Ralph's selling Blanton's 65 will be over very soon 😆. I only mentioned the price matching as most people don't know that's even possible. I didn't know until about a year ago so I'm hoping it'll even help one person save a little money 😆. Always appreciate your support with quick view and comment after launch! Thankful for it all and cheers ~
Hey Troy! I'm hoping to be the beacon of light for the bourbon community in Korea 😂. I don't think I'll succeed but like I said, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take! Barrell already has a large fan base in Korea and I'm sure these will sell quickly 😆. Always greatly appreciate your support and comments quickly after video launch! Thanks for all you do for the whiskeytube community and cheers~

Thank you so much for your view and comment! Greatly appreciate it and cheers~
Dang, Jack10 and 12? Good stuff! My haul for the month is the Knob Creek pick by Hi Proof. I really enjoy one of the KC picks that I got last year and it rivals with ECBP/Stagg. I also did the KC/Steak rebate thing but not sure when I'll get it haha.
it just took 5 days on me to get rebates . 54-20= 34, its a steal,, their storepick is awesome (little spicy, but one drop of water solved it)
Hey Danny! That $20 rebate is an awesome deal and I need to do it before it expires 😆. Always forget about it.
Let me know how to like that hi proof pick as I should make a trip to HI Proof as I want to pick up that discovery #11.
Truly appreciate your view and comment so quickly after video launch as you always do! I am so thankful and I am aware of your awesomeness 🫡. Cheers ~
Great bottles David. I bottle killed Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend batch 93 last year. Have batches 181 and 189 in reserve. Would love a RR Rickhouse Camp Nelson F. I think Camp Nelson B is coming out this year. I am too embarrassed to list my March haul. FOMO. 🥃
Hey Dave! Never be embarrassed about your awesomeness! 😆 I just made too many mistakes in the past and now paying for it now by having to pass up on some wonderful bottles 😅.
So I passed on the Camp Nelson C as those didn't get the glowing reviews of CNF.. so I'll probably stay on the fence on CNB until I see some reviews. I can't take a chance on what will be a $350+ bottle 😆.
So thankful for your view and comment so quickly after video launch as you always do! Always appreciate your awesomeness 😎. Cheers ~
David,
I know it is tough passing on great bottles. But the ones you were able to get are bottles I've been looking for. I think that's what makes them special and a treasure when you do actually find them.
I can't believe you don't have more supporters. It'll build over time as your popularity grows.
Dana
Hey Dana! I'm happy and excited for the support I have with you and Jonathan and any more would just be icing on the cake 😆. I know I need to offer more value to get additional support but I'm always appreciative of just the time support with views and comments from my loyal viewers ☺️.
Thanks again for being my #1 Member and I will never forget that 😎.
Stay healthy and take care my friend~
교수님 JD SBBP RYE 이건 진짜 Wonderful이에요 . ㅋㅋㅋ 헛웃음이 나는 맛이에요. 마시면 계속 웃음이 납니다. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ. 기존에 생각하던 RYE와는 다르게 RYE의 특징이 잘 드러나기 보다는 내가 JD다!! 하는 맛인거 같습니다. 그래도 맛있습니다!! 역시 대기업답게 정말 잘 만든 술인거 같습니다. 추천해주셔서 감사합니다!!

2023년 제가 마신 라이중에 최고였습니다 !
이렇게 맛있는 라이를 이 가격에 쉽게 구할 수 있다는게 너무 행복하네요 😍
I wish to find the JD 10 and 12 but got a king's wheated barrel pick
Hey Darrell! That is awesome! Kings barrel is not available here so let me know how you like it after you have a pour!
Super grateful for all your support and cheers ~
@@WhiskeyBank it's really good it's my first wheated
@@darrellknight4110 nice! Need to find a Kings barrel somehow 😆
And if you need a king's you know how to get a hold of me I think I know someone that can help
Nice haul, David. Great advice on building relationships with stores. March was a good month for me, 13th Colony 15 year ani., Still Austin CS single barrel, Elijah Craig A124, Jack Daniels SB BP rye 68%, Short Barrel Green River aged in Four Roses barrels 117% pick & an Eagle Rare. Cheers Kevin
Hey Kevin! Great haul! Let me know how good the 13th Colony 15th anniversary is as I'm so curious about it 😆.
Super appreciate your view and comment so quickly after video launch! Thanks a ton for all your support and cheers ~
I got all of the following bottles at SRP, Jack Daniel's 12 yrs, Stagg JR, Penelope Rio, Penelope Tokaji, 1792 Single Barrel, 1792 bottle in bond
Wow! What a haul Saul! Once you had a pour of the Rio, let me know if I made a mistake by passing on it 😆.
Thanks a ton for your view and comment so quickly after video launch! Super appreciate it and cheers ~
I picked up an old Forrester 1924, a 13 colony 15th Anniversary, EH Taylor small batch, 1792 BIB store pick, Russells reserve pick, and an ECBP A124. All for your right around MSRP. I passed on a Four Gate and a Weller full proof store pick. Too expensive.
Hey Scott! Great haul! Let me know your thoughts on the 13th Colony 15th anniversary as I only heard good things on it 😆.
Always appreciate your support with views and comments! Thank you for everything and cheers ~
Really enjoy these videos, much more interesting than average whiskey hauls and it’s great to hear your thinking on the bottles you pass on.
I try to out a twist on these haul videos as I can't do hunting videos 😆.
Thanks a ton for your view and comment so quickly after video launch!
Super appreciate it and cheers ~
Hi David.
Big fan! I recall in one of your video you said you went to Korea and got some wild turkey 12. May i ask which particular liquor shop you visited?
Hey Kei! WT12 is more available than you thank in Korea, but it really depends on where you stay. If you're in the seoul area, I would visit "bottle bunker" at seoul station and lotte world 2 or "wine & more" around yangjae station (they have many stores).
I found the best prices at local liquor stores or grocery stores (E-mart, etc.), but you'll need to go to a big one to find it.
Good luck and have fun during your trip! Food &drinks are delicious and cheap 😋.
Thanks a ton for your view and comment! Greatly appreciate it and cheers ~
I hope Barrell references Wild Turkey's exemplary pricing policy in Korea. Wild Turkey's strong presence in Korea is largely thanks to its affordable prices.
I hope they take notes and price accordingly 😆. Only problem with Korea is they base taxes based on proof and I don't know how wild turkey is able to bypass it. We'll see very soon!
Thanks a ton for your view and comment! Greatly appreciate it and cheers ~
@@WhiskeyBank In Korea, the tax on spirits is, regardless of the spirit's proof, applied based on the transfer price of the import. For example, if there's a bourbon priced at $30 and another at $60, their price difference is $30. However, imagine the sales tax is 150%, and their prices would jump to $75 and $150, respectively, widening the price gap to $75. This is what happens with bourbon prices in Korea. Thus, a bourbon with a $20 MSRP in the US might sell for 40,000 KRW in Korea, while ECBP priced at $70 MSRP can go up to 300,000 KRW. In such a system, lowering the transfer price would significantly reduce the market price. The speculation is that Wild Turkey's Korean distributor might have secured a very low transfer price somehow (likely by promising to purchase in bulk?).
@@yeejunghun Wow, I knew there was a large tax, but didn't know it was that much. Let's hope Barrell does some research and doesn't price it above 200,000 won as that seems to be the breaking point. Hopefully it's 150,000 won or less 😆.
Thanks a ton for the information!
Always cool to see what you picked up. Sorry you missed out on the single rickhouse. It’s a great bottle. We had it in our whiskey of the year list, and I think if it hadn’t been a fresh crack it would have been top 3. Cheers!
Must be nice! I just was a little too slow 😅. But I'll think as though I saved 350 and can spend that on another bottle 😆. Hopefully rickhouse B will be better!
Always appreciate your support with views and comments on my videos! Cheers~
That is better than my March for sure
Hey Adam! Your March haul was a every nice house 😆 so I would say you did better than I did. Looking forward to an epic bar!
Truly appreciate your view and comment so quickly after video launch as you always do! Thanks for everything and cheers ~
Awesome month.
Hey Dave! It was awesome and am grateful I'm in the position able to get these wonderful bottles 😆.
Always grateful for all your support as well and thanks a ton for always viewing and commenting on my videos! Cheers~
Excellent haul David The Barrell Foundation is a wonderful bottle, and so is the Seagrass. Wow! $98 for the 12 year JD, that is fantastic. I finally found a bunch of 1792 the SB, BiB, and 12 year. Also picked up the new wheater from Redwood Empire. Cheers!
Hey Rene! Thank you but you had a great haul as well in March! I didn't even know the new wheated bourbon was out for Redwood Empire 😆. Need to look for one. Once you have a pour of it, let me know how you like it.
So grateful for all your support with your quick views and comments after launch! It's people like you who make it all worth it to do these videos 🙏. Take care and cheers~
David, it's interesting! I recommend you have a sample before you drop $80 on this bottle. The mashbill contains 4% malt and you definitely notice it the more you sip it. I have only had two small pours over the last two days. Both times I had the impression I was having a blend of a light single malt and a wheated bourbon.
@@renepirolt sounds like my jam! I'll look for the bottle for sure~ 😆
저도 자랑하나 하겠습니다! 믹터스 10년 버번 23년 릴을 국내에서 30에 구매했어요 얼마전 뚜따했는데 엄청 맛있었습니다...
그리고 최근 한국에선 와일드 터키 켄터키 스리핏 싱글배럴 캠프넬슨-F에서 나온 바틀이 종종 보이는데 러셀 캠프넬슨 F와 아주 비슷하다는 썰이 돌아서 헌팅 다니는 분들이 계십니닼ㅋㅋㅋ
믹터스 10... 30만원이면 저라면 네병 샀을 것 같아요 ! ㅎㅎㅎㅎ 너무 부럽네요~~~ 저도 여기서 못찾는데 달킴님 대단해요 👍
@@WhiskeyBank 하지만 전 david님이 가지고 계신 ecbp c923이 더 부럽습닼ㅋㅋㅋ
Nice haul! I have a Magnus #237 and it’s great! My store friend is getting me the Booker’s at his cost 72.00 so can’t pass:) The EC A124 is really nice! JD 10yr so nice! JD 12yr yeah!
Hey Nick! Bookers at that price is a buy anytime! I should have probably purchased the joseph magnus cigar blend but oh well, can't regret now 😆.
Let me know how you like the Springfield batch when you have a pour!
Super appreciate your view and comment so soon after video launch as you always do! Thanks for everything and cheers ~
Blanton’s for $65!?! Wow. By me at retail they are $82. Also I second the relationship building although it can get expensive. Total wine price matching is very iffy in my area. They already price real low. It’s now a thing of you’re in a mom n pop store and they’re at or below total wine pricing buy it.
Hey Dean! I'm sure the days of Ralph's selling Blanton's 65 will be over very soon 😆.
I only mentioned the price matching as most people don't know that's even possible. I didn't know until about a year ago so I'm hoping it'll even help one person save a little money 😆.
Always appreciate your support with quick view and comment after launch! Thankful for it all and cheers ~
Great video - as always! Love that you are repping BCS on your Korean bourbon channel... Cheers! 🥃
Hey Troy! I'm hoping to be the beacon of light for the bourbon community in Korea 😂. I don't think I'll succeed but like I said, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take! Barrell already has a large fan base in Korea and I'm sure these will sell quickly 😆.
Always greatly appreciate your support and comments quickly after video launch! Thanks for all you do for the whiskeytube community and cheers~
Hey, just wondering do you do collabs?
I don't do collaborations much as I'm kind of isolated here in Southern California 😆. I have been on a couple of live streams with whiskey wisdom and baker drinks. Check out those videos and check out their videos as well!
Appreciate your view and comment! Cheers~
@@WhiskeyBank Thanks for your reply, I mean being isolated in SoCal seems like a dream haha, I was thinking more with suppliers, we are a nationwide online liquor retailer and we would love to collab with you if interested ☺️
