Should I make Whiskey Reviews? (It wont be boring I promise)
Yes. It helps others determine if they have a similar palate and will help less fortunate people know to either buy or not buy bottles.
I really want to say you should but there are already what seems like hundreds of bourbon review channels. But why not give it a shot what's 1 more gonna hurt .oh and you really should not have passed the the belle meade reserve!
With all seriousness, do what you enjoy!
You better!
Here's what I've noticed. The channels that are succeeding are those that speak to the common man. Review bottles that folks in your area can get, and spread out from there mileage wise, maybe local-ish bottles. That's a cool niche', and bottles that are slightly different, or new, but not the same ol' allocated bottles that super special channels can get bc they have the hookups. That's why we like you--your like us! Normal, average, but doing hunting for us.
You don't need to start off reviewing KC 9, or WT 101, but remember when Coopers Craft 101 came out? Or different Sagamore's, like 8yr or Sherry? My honest opinion.
Lucky find on that Stagg. I remember when I was in a small store in March and the lady asked if I wanted a unicorn and she brought out Stagg Batch 18 and it was 69.99. One of the easiest buys ever.
Thats awesome! Gotta love some small town USA
It’s crazy to see Russell’s Single Barrel at every stop in my area you won’t find one, it feels like they show up once a year. Knob Creek 12 is in most stores here though I even saw it on the shelf at the grocery store this weekend. The Bond & Lillard is Wild Turkey juice there is another bottle in that series called WB Saffell that people chase. The guy pulling out a Stagg for you is so cool what a nice gesture.
Very nice! Thank you for the info and for watching! 🤙🏼🥃
Congrats on that Stagg!!
I’m in NJ and got lucky about 4 yrs ago when I found 2 bottles of Stagg Jr Batch 12 for $49.99. Snagged both and never looked back. Damn what a fantastic bourbon. Cheers!!
Im loving mine!
Congrats on the stagg! I just scored my first bottle this week as well and it’s so good
It really is!
I just nabbed 2 of the most recent C batch. 8 of them just sitting behind the register on a shelf at a Walgreens liquor in Palm Coast, FL of all places. First time I've ever even seen it on the shelf to purchase. Sent my buddy and wife there to grab another bottle a piece. Cracked it at a family get together. It was the talk of the party, no one could believe it.
I passed on another bottle recently and I regret it
Hibiki Harmony is good and in my area the best price I see is $75 and that's at Total Wine and a few other shops. It's a good pour of Japanese whiskey but it'll feel very thin and light compared to bourbon. I've found that Kaigan Japanese Whisky and Shibui Pure Malt Japanese Whisky are pretty good alternatives and they don't suffer from any silly up-pricing because they were never allocated bottles.
I vote yes on tasting videos. Also, if you haven't tried the Blade and Bow yet I recommend it. I think it's a cool story and I really enjoy the bourbon.
Nice selection. The Bib & Tucker 6 Year Double Char is a great double oak bottle. Love those Tumblin’ Dice red label Single Barrel picks. Hard to find in my area, so picked a few up my last trip to KY. Great find on the Stagg. I have bought 4 of my Stagg for $59.99. 🥃
Heck yeah! Thank you for watching!
I bought mine for $52. They had four on the shelf, so yes, I bought all four.
Belle Meade Reserve is an excellent pour, totally agree on that one. And congrats on the Stagg find! Although, I had some real anxiety when you were rolling it in one hand in the store! LOL!
🎲🫴🏼
Let’s goooo Hunter!! That’s awesome on the Stagg. People have told me that the Bibb & Tucker 6yr. Is better than the 10yr. I have the 6yr. It’s ok IMO I had to let it open up though. Awesome video and yes I think you should do reviews as well on pick’s you’ve purchased. Have an awesome day!
Right on! Thank you!
I agree with you on the Four Roses Single Barrel Excellent buy for a beginner
Thank you! Try and offer advice for people who maybe lurking! 😂🥃
Nice snag on the Stagg. It’s a good bottle. I got lucky and picked up some EHT SB, a KC 18 batch 2, and a 23 OFBB. Keep hunting!
Will do thank you for watching!
Awesome video as always. Thanks for sharing! 💯
Thanks for watching!
Always enjoy your hunting vids, some reviews would be nice as well. Just grabbed a couple Stagg 22A for $50 each, stoked for sure.
Good stuff! What state you in thats selling them for $50? Thats great!
I'll keep adding comments because why not - Penelope doesn't impress me much for the price but when I find them on sale (and I do often) I like to add them to the collection. The Finishing Series are worth chasing though. I just tried the new batch of Penelope Valencia... WOW - closest thing I've poured to a Bombergers. That bottle is nearly $100 though which is super steep but something to grab if you run across it in the wild. The Valencia will probably end up being a high sought after bottle on secondary pretty quick just like the prior batch.
Great videos! Going to make our annual trip to Isle Of Palms in the spring…..learning lots here….thanks!
Great to hear!
That’s awesome!
Thank you! 😁🥃
Nice selection and great find
Thank you buddy! 🤙🏼🥃
Great find!!
Thank you! 😁
That red label bib and Tucker is actually pretty darn good. I’ve never had the regular, but that red label is new and surprisingly good for MGP stuff.
I need to check it out!
When you’re the Bourbon Hunter, good things happen to you. Great score dude. This was a good1.
Thank you for watching! 🤙🏼🥃
I just paid $170 for my STAGG this past Friday but this was my first bottle ever and a birthday gift for myself. Excellent find!
Heck yeah man good grab! Thats awesome! Treat yo self!
Congrats on Stagg . Hope to come across one soon. Did pick up the new 2XO last week here in Tulsa . Oak series. 50 bucks
Nice!!🥃
Got a 22A last week for $60 as well. Great bottle. Enjoy it!
Will do! Thank you for watching!
Definitely do the whiskey reviews. It may just be me being weird but I enjoy watching people buy whiskey and get their honest opinion on it as well lol
Heck yeah! 🤙🏼🥃 I appreciate it Im going to start that!
Great grab on that Stagg. Picked up both C923 for EC and Larceny. Keep the hunt alive.
Keeper goooinnn 🤙🏼🤙🏼
@5:05 mare-lot...I believe that's some form of wine barrel 😂
The education system down here in the south sucks 😂
Grats on the score my guy. Do you think the prices were switched on those Belle Meade bottles?
Who knows but i’d argue it at the register if it rang up different
Great stuff as always buddy. I'm also not a Jefferson's fan but that tropics is outstanding. Their best release yet IMO.
I need to get a taste of it 😁🥃
@@Bourbon_Hunter Yeah it's excellent. Some of their ocean stuff has been solid but for me this is the best Jefferson's yet.
I get Hibiki Harmony for 100 a bottle. I go through about a bottle every 4-6 weeks. It’s wonderful as long as you like scotch/single malt whiskeys
Ouh…. Mhm. Well.
Thanks!
Dude! Thank you so much for the super thanks! I appreciate your support of the channel! 🤙🏼🥃
Awesome find! Been hunting bourbon for almost 5 years. Still yet to find my first Stagg (that wasn't 5x msrp)
It’ll float your way! Try a frequent one store that may help your chances
Nice grab on the Stagg. 22A is so delicious that I had to by a backup. And trust me if I had paid what you did I could have got 3, but Maryland is the Wild West for bourbon.
At least you got two! I cannot wait to find another!
Can confirm, MD is wild with secondary pricing. I did just luck out with a $130 Bomberger pickup last week though.
Wow awesome. I’ve still never seen one in person
You will one day!
That’s fantastic! Congratulations
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi at 1:02, if you pause and look to the right… theres a bottle there called ‘ jack daniels’. I think that is a really nice whiskey and i recommend you to try it.
Theres another whiskey called ‘ Jim Beam’ which you may not know, again worth a try, especially with lemonade.
Jim and Evan Williams used to be best friends of mine 😂
The Hibiki Harmony is AMAZING. we're paying $100 for it up here in VA.
Nice score on that Stagg, and good on that store for selling at MSRP!
I agree! Thank you for watching!
Dude hell of a pickup on the Stagg 22a for 58 bucks! I had a good weekend last weekend myself. I got a EH Taylor small batch, an Elijah Craig barrel proof 22b, a Stagg 22b, and an Elmer T Lee all for MSRP!
Dude thats a heck of a pick up geesh!!
@@Bourbon_Hunter yeah my best day ever! I live in a small town and our local store saves all his allocated stuff for 3 or 4 months then does a drawing where everyone's gets to pick something. Once everyone has picked he starts over with the drawing until all bottles are gone! Everything is MSRP!!!
Thats the way to do it!!!
@Bourbon_Hunter my thoughts exactly!!!! Fair/same chance for everyone and you pay MSRP! So pumped to try the Stagg the ECBP C923 is amazing and I love eh taylor small batch. It's my favorite "standard" core release from buffalo trace
Bib and tucker is really nice for tobacco notes
I was a fan
Ive heard some very mixed reviews but I need to try a pour at the bar first
Love that you got a Stagg for that price!
I love it! Thank you for watching!
Let me know if you see the EC C923. I’m in the upstate SC and have been hunting one too. Congratulations on finding the Stagg!
Havent hit SC yet should be here in the next couple weeks! I got my hands on one tho 🤫
Costco had cases upon cases of Kentucky owl Takumi edition for $69.99 a few weeks back. I should have snagged one but they were not moving very quick so I planned to come back.. forgot... and then they were sold out. From everything I know it is very much a bourbon blended to taste like a Japanese Whisky and I like both of those things... Oh well.
Anything from macallan is a banger as far as I’m concerned. You have to like scotch and I do. Great bottle of Stagg I’m looking for some. And MSRP is a great price. Enjoy!!
Fair enough!
Hunter, Awesome video ....check out Canton Wine & Spirit Warehouse, in Canton GA they had all three Redwood Empire Cask Strenght when I was there a few days ago
Sure will! Thank you!
I think you should make tasting videos for sure! I would like to see some blinds as well. It would be cool to get your take on everything out there.
Thanks for the idea! I think were gonna do it!
That Bernheim 7 is fantastic for the price, especially if you like a wheater!
I do!!! If I wasn’t budgeting myself I woulda grabbed some!
For sure on the tastings vids. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! Will do! 🤙🏼🥃
Holyyy. I’m jealous, my first Stagg that I won in a PA lottery is gonna be gone today :(. Got one pour left. Hopefully I’ll be able to trade for another someday soon
Good luck friend! 🤙🏼🥃
Hibiki is delicious! I bought it for $80 not too long ago, but that’s as low as you’ll see it. Likely will be in the $90 range most places
If I see it for $90 i’ll take the chance and buy one! Thank you for the advice!
As much as I like Hibiki, it has one of the world's shortest finishes.
Hibiki is a malt and grain blend from Chita, Hakushu, and Yamazaki. Its a full Japanese blend is more skewed to Hakushu and Yamazki. While another bottle named Toki, Consists of the same blends, But higher in Chita and Hakushu, reversed to make it cheaper. Ive tried Toki, Its alright similar to a scotch, Grapeskin and Green Apple spice is what i got off it. My opinions limited, not much into whisky. Still new, I'd get it, Bottles cool, my personal opinion. Then again, Im more into Barrel Proofs and Charred whiskys. Hope that helps.
Im takin notes thank you! ✍🏼
Awesome score.
Thank you!
Damn good snag on the Stagg! Bring on the reviews!
Thank you! Looks like people wanna see it so!
Love to see it.
Thank you!
That bib and tucker double char is pretty good
$60 good or like $45 good?
@@Bourbon_Hunter I think I paid around 50. It's decent, especially if you like a double oaked. It is more like 1910 than WRDO
That Macallan 18 is great, and wow, OGD 114 just sitting there
Sorry I just walk past it! Your state needs to get their act together!
This man is killing the hunt game
🤙🏼 Thanks for watching buddy!
Score! Congrats
Thank you! Happy you watched! 🤙🏼🥃
that c922 Larceny is so good! straight carmel bomb
I love mine 😁🥃
Got my hibiki for 89 a year and half ago but around 100 or 110 is going price. The notes are very floral and go well with charcuterie. It’s like a scotch but with no peat.
Thats what im talking about!
Subscriber gained. Great videos.
Awesome, thank you!
3 seconds in and I see something I'd have jumped on immediately. I SUPER like Heaven's Door for a celebrity whiskey (and honestly, the Metallica stuff is alright too - though gimmicky). I can find the decade series rye all the time for $90 but the best I've seen the bourbon for was $95 and I didn't buy it. Since then it's been absent from my area. Probably not worth $90 but something I want for the shelf. One section of my shelves is dedicated to 10 year bottles and I just added the 10 year Basal Hayden bourbon and the 10 year Rye - something I'd never heard of before finding it in a small town in the middle of Illinois. The Basal Hayden 10 year bourbon is pretty terrible (for being a 60+ bottle) but I'm still hopeful that the rye is decent
nice find man! 22A is a killer batch!
Its amazing so far! 😎
Great snag on the Stagg. I've managed to land a couple for sub $60 but I'll never pay over $75 for a bottle. Stagg is good but the hype and secondary is insanity. The bourbon is younger than ECBP and the proof is usually similar. Basically, I consider them very comparable allocated batch releases. I try to only pay $70-75 for ECBP and that's my max for Stagg. Stagg is good, it's not secondary good (but honestly, nothing really is unless you have more money than you can spend), and it's something I'll gladly buy when given the opportunity. It's not something I'll hoard or wait in line at a bourbon raffle to buy unless it's a batch I don't own.
On a similar note - I snagged ECBP C923 for $70 at a grocery store and a bottle of EHT Straight Rye for $110. I actually hate EHT Small Batch but the Straight Rye is pretty good. It's the first bottle of EHT I've ever seen at a grocery store and the first bottle of EHT that wasn't Small Batch i've found in the wild for less than $199 (normally Straight Rye is $250-300 here). The crazy part is that I almost skipped checking this grocery store because normally their best bottle are like New Riff or black label JD Single Barrel. They had 2 EHT Small Batch $70 - too high, 3 ECBP C923 $70, 2 Larceny C923 $60, and 1 EHT Straight Rye $110. It was also a Saturday afternoon so those bottles likely sat there since the previous day or they didn't unload the Friday distribution during the Friday shift. Either way... now I feel like I have to stop in every one of this chain's locations when I see them
Then I don’t trust your palate
Dude you must do a review of the Stagg! I bet it is Smmmmmoooottthhhh as hell! Great find!
132 Smooooooth points
Congrats brotha! That’s amazing juice. Cherry bomb
No on the Macallan. Try Balvenie Caribbean cask. delicious
Ima write that down! ✍🏼
Don't sleep on that Tumbling Dice. They make some amazing stuff!
Belle Meade!!
🐎🐎🐎
Bib and Tucker is another one of those products that should probably be priced $30-$35 because there are so many equal or better options from the big distilleries for that price or less...not a bad pour by any means, just needs to be brought down a shelf.
I havent tried it but ive heard thats about what other people think
The daringer got a lot of hype upon release and still hasn't slowed up. Its a good product that gets overlooked alot.
Ive overlooked it for years! I need to grab one
If you get the chance, throw a review up and let me know your thoughts.@@Bourbon_Hunter
I didn’t enjoy the Old Elk cigar cut.
Great price on the Stagg!!
😱
What’s going on bro , just wondering about the wild turkey long branch if there was a difference in the Matthew mcconahay version and the one out now ,, always see you bring them up in your hunts ,, thanks man
No difference in terms of taste just Matthew is gone now from the brand its still a heck of a pour. The new labels may indicated “fresher” juice tho
Yes great price. And yes we want weekly tastings.
Thank you!
Just got a C923 out of New Jersey. Needle in a haystack.
I just found one today! Amazing!
Can get them for 49.99 at Costco if you get lucky enough. Snagged one last month.
Man that’s like stealing. Stagg for $57. Congrats Hunter. Still looking for my first one. Cheers
Good luck! Its better to be lucky than good 😂
Definitely would love to hear your thoughts on the bottles you go home with. Have you ever hunted in Florida? Going to Panama City beach and want to find what I can’t in California
Never! Hope to soon!
Sorry to tell you, but you won’t find anything special in PCB or surrounding areas. We down here have to drive 2+ hours to Tallahassee to Total Wine to find anything. Only store I might recommend is Beach Liquors. ABC store has nothing. Did see a Stagg Jr and a Magnus Cigar Blend in Rosemary Beach the other day for $300 each. It’s a bourbon wasteland down here. The selections there in SC are so much better than here in NW Florida. Good luck and enjoy your trip, beaches are perfect this time of year.
Channel growing quickly!
Thank you! Lots of hard work and driving! Next weeks video is going to slap! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
@@Bourbon_Hunter hell yeah brotha! Gotta do some ranking videos of stuff you got/setup type stuff. We’d love it!
Will do!
Dude you passed on the Belle that hurt me 😂😂
I knowww but budgets for my videos are necessary 😂
Try the macallan 12 sherry cask! Beautiful ❤️
Don’t tempt me 😏 I just finished a bottle of Arran 10 it was amazing!
@@Bourbon_Hunter I promise you if you try it, you'll always keep a bottle and your collection! It's different! I appreciate your channel. I never knew that they were whiskey UA-camrs in South Carolina. Most of the time people go places and find stuff and they won't let you know what store they went to. I've been collecting whiskey for the last 14 years and I have a big collection of things you can't even find anymore! When I was in New York I could find a lot of stuff at retail price but I had to hunt for it through the different boroughs but I had fun! Here in South Carolina I couldn't find anything until I started looking at your channel the last couple days and you be all over the place. I appreciate everything. I've been in Charleston a lot but I couldn't find anything, but now since I was looking at your channel I think my Hunt will be a little bit more successful! One of the bottles that I can't find is the birthday bourbon and the big boy weller, but I see you found one the other day and gave it to your friend 😀 if you know any other good spots in South Carolina, shoot me a message and also if you ever up on 20 going towards Atlanta there are a lot of great liquor stores out there that you will find a lot of good bottles at reasonable prices
Tumbling Dice is excellent.
👀
Can I give you some advice?
First off… you’re right… you should’ve bought the no longer made, Belle Meade Reserve for $50(about $20 lower in most places)
Second, zoom out a little, turn the camera to you and talk about the bourbon and what makes it unique a little
Third… talk about your price points.. what your budget is vs what you’re finding it at
Fourth.. stop whispering… you’re not in a library.
I went to Clemson, I live in SC… I just want to see you be successful with you’re YT adventures :)
Great price on the Belle Meade, and I have that Larceny C922 and it’s great. Oh and Merlot is a red wine, pronounced Mer-low
Freaking silent letters!
@@Bourbon_Hunterthey’ll get ya every time! Forgot to comment on tasting videos and I would love to get your feedback on the bottles you have and tasting notes. Enjoy your Sunday!
Thank you! 😁
I'm in sc do they have more stagg??
Most stores in South Carolina get their allocations at the beginning of each month. I have no clue what else he has but he is a very nice and generous guy. I have bought other bottles in his store before so maybe that helped my chances 🥃
Orangburg has never disappointed
Darn right drewski!
Manning SC has some solid bourbon
Don’t make me take a road trip 👀
That Hibiki is amazing and at a good price I wouldn’t pay more then $100
Noted thank you! ✍🏼
That Clyde May 5 year single barrel is a hitter for me
Slaps 👏🏼
You have to try The Representative! Min 6:10
Got a bottle last week off camera!
I still haven't seen C923 anywhere in SC yet either
I got one two days ago and its sooooo good
I hope to find one for myself.
I never thought I’d land one honestly
Yes to tasting
😁 thank you
Should have snagged that C922 Larceny, well reviewed batch, but at the same time i wouldn't spend a dime in a store trying to get 200 bucks for bookers
I got one already and its amazing!
You need to get that Old Soul tintype
Gottcha!
Benchmark 8 behind the glass made me laugh
Really shocked me 😂
Score on Stagg....I paid $170 for mine....just to build a relation at the store.
Nice find! I’ll trade you a Decadence for a Stagg if ever in ATL
I got a decadence this weekend 2023 batch SLAPS
Grab that Larceny C922!!!
I got one brotha! Waiting for the new C923 😁
Hibiki is good. I've seen for $80 at Sam's. Maybe just try it at a bar.
Might have to just wait and try it at a bar you’re right 🤙🏼🥃
