Is that secondary or MSRP?

Msrp, but I don't remember if that was at a big chain store or at a smaller store so I can't say if it was marked up or not

I certainly didn't know the definition of Full Proof.

Anyways, I didn't think Rare Breed was considered barrel proof…and it's right there on the freaking label!

That's California.

I saw Blanton's on the shelf in Co for $500.

You think that's indicative of actual cost?

Wish they'd crack down on the brick and mortar charging secondary, or in this case well above secondary.

Calm down. Someone will always buy secondary at mom and pop stores.

That bottle and the Larceny BP behind it are both pretty solid. I'm really happy with the recent Larceny BP I found in Kentucky.

Got a C922 at TW yesterday and I've got an unopened C921 I got from a mom n pop shop a while back. Debating which to crack first.

The secondary bourbon market and the retail prices have been rising and will continue to rise. That's a fact.

HOWDY! LOVE this thread. Only been really enjoying Bourbon the past few years, but it's for sure now in the daily driver category

Last Christmas my son gave me a bottle of Blanton's (he got for MSRP) and I loved it. A few pours left in it but pretty much done. I went out looking for some earlier this year and was sticker shocked at the grey market prices. I know there are +$200 bottles of Bourbon that are worth it but I'd never pay over MSRP (give or take 20-30ish bucks) for Blanton's. It's really good but I don't feel it's $200/bottle good.

So yesterday my GF presented me with a a bottle of Blanton's for my birthday (MSRP was a few weeks ago but just got in) and my son coming down for Christmas break said he got me a Blanton's for Christmas, also MSRP. So I'm as happy as if I had good sense.

But it did have me wondering though, what are some bottles of Bourbon that y'all would instantly buy if on the shelf @ $200+ a bottle? Also, what are some SOLID $30-70/bottle Bourbons that I should be hunting down as they are not allotted, etc. but are very underrated?

For me, it's not a Bourban but an Irish Whiskey - Midleton VR (any year), but it's also hard for me to find but is my absolute favorite spirit. Don't get me wrong, I only break out the Midleton for special occasions and is FAR from something I have often but I'd buy it @ $225 anytime.

Thanks in advance! Looking forward to keeping up with this thread moving forward and again... LOVE everyone's contributions here!! Great sub.



Picked these up this evening.



Will not be opening the Knob Creek until my sons are both here @ Christmas. Going to be sipping on the Jefferson's Reserve tonight.

Doesn't make 10…so a long 9.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Just under 10 so they call them 9
Some of the first ones were 12+ and were so amazing. I have maybe 1/4 bottle left of one of those early ones.

Another great bottle that isn't allocated

I couldn't read the age statements, image was too pixilated.

It is a good reminder to all of us to read the age dates…they are not all the same.

I thought I picked up a store pick of that KC to try and realized later it was the KC9 small batch not the 120… hoping I like it better than the KC12…
AlaskanAg99
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I think the KC12 is nails.

I have some older KC14&15year single barrels. I generally love the 10-12yr age statements. I'll have to keep my eyes open for KC products.

I'll check back in when I crack it open next week! Hoping I like a lot but if not, didn't break the bank for $60.

KC12 flopped for me but I know it's a popular bottle.

For me it was very alcohol forward and has weird notes of like pine or mint or something that's offensive to my pallet. I joke with my wife that it tastes like I'm drinking a pinecone.

This is why I love bourbon, because KC12 is one of my go-to bottles when I'm feeling like a vanilla/caramel pour with not a lot of frills. For me it just hits
