Awesome collection , great KC bottles. I found a a cask strength rye 2018 release, been searching for the kc12 cask strength bourbon. They must all be long gone.

[@bourbonbill]

Thanks sir and yeah I haven’t seen either one is those bottles in the wild in a few years

[@The_Profezor]

Excellent collection and it is so nice to have seen most of them in your videos. You are the comparison king. Hope you feel better!

[@bourbonbill]

Haha thanks Ralph

[@RJR2222]

Great bottles. Enjoy

[@bourbonbill]

Thanks

[@3800fanatic]

Love this a great collection of bottles impressed with your comparisons you do without having like 1000 bottles

[@bourbonbill]

Thanks for watching!

[@Best_Served_Neat_On_Ice]

3800fanatic, From the comparisons he does it *seems* like he has a lot more bottles.

[@GLENBECKHAM]

I like how you really dont have anything bottom shelf. Im trying to get through all the bottom shelf whiskeys that I have and go for quality over quantity like yourself! Nice to see the collection. Get better!

[@bourbonbill]

Thanks and yeah once I went thru the lower tier stuff I just never replaced it. I have enough of a collection that I can always drink good stuff

[@C_H_1972]

Excellent collection and behind the scenes for us curious bastards 😂! I am jealous of the HH 17 and Coy Hill(s). I passed on HH 18 for $350. The reviews are lukewarm. That’s not good enough for almost $400 out the door. I concur with others on here. You do so much with what you have. I connect with and appreciate the relative modesty on your part. Try to resist the algorithm lords and stay away from giant monthly hauls which imo are crotch shots in disguise and frankly glutinous in some cases. Cheers and thanks!

[@bourbonbill]

Thanks and yeah I’m not interested in paying that high retail price for HH18 when it’s worse than HH17. And thanks just don’t have the room or the budget for more. I don’t get how some reviewers buy enough to even make monthly videos I always try and drink through about the same number of bottle I bring in a year so the overall number stays roughly the same

[@danimerc1802]

I enjoyed watching this, thanks for sharing this with us.

[@bourbonbill]

Glad you liked it. I feel like a lot of these videos don’t go in depth into what’s really on the shelf lol

[@matthewdaly7423]

I have the same shelving, gotta love uncle Jeff delivery.

[@bourbonbill]

Costco shelves all the way

[@matthewdaly7423]

Costco does it very well! Nice collection! Feel better

[@jasono.1629]

Love all the RR 13 yr batches you have, very nice. Those older JDBP picks from 2019-20 can be real honey barrels. Thanks for sharing.

[@bourbonbill]

Thanks for watching it haha. The older picks were great for sure

[@johncashion8428]

No early times? Thanks for sharing

[@bourbonbill]

haha had some awhile ago but its gone now

[@StevenScone]

I like going to Elixir. Great store.

[@bourbonbill]

Yea it is

[@qurklewss]

Awesome collection! I noticed the Bombergers(so good) is not the same bottle as the one you reviewed w/shenks 6months or so ago. If you’re still looking for that batch, maybe we can trade? Lmk!

[@bourbonbill]

Wow you got a good eye. Yeah the one I filmed the review with was my buddy’s bottle and I then later got a bottle. I’m good with the one I have I don’t think there is much batch variation at all on the bottles released in the same year

[@bfactor]

Excellent collection! One of these days I'll get myself a KC12 CS.

[@bourbonbill]

It’s a must buy bottle one of the best beam products

[@bfactor]

@@bourbonbill I acquired the Jacob's Well 184 & 211 recently. Haven't cracked them yet. Just looking for the KC12 CS and Frankfort now. I remain optimistic.

[@toddtipton2857]

Love Tarek and comp down at Elixer in TN

[@bourbonbill]

He is the man

[@jrlanger42]

I ordered one of those Bull Run Cognac finish bottles from Seelbach's several weeks back based on your review of that. They mistakenly sent me a bottle of 13th Colony 15th Yr Anniversary instead! It was a nice surprise, and I was definitely a beneficiary of that administrative error, however I'm sad I have no clue if or when I'll ever see a bottle of that Bull Run now.

[@bourbonbill]

Whoah hell of an error in your favor congrats haha. I hear some total wines also got a pick of the bull run cognac finish so maybe if you are near one you could check out if they have any no idea how it compares to the Seelbachs pick though

[@Best_Served_Neat_On_Ice]

@@bourbonbill, That Bull Run has been out of stock at Seelbach's for at least a couple weeks now.

[@bourbonbill]

@@Best_Served_Neat_On_IceI think total wine has a similar pick if people are still looking

[@davevogelsang6791]

Good stuff BB. 🥃

[@bourbonbill]

Thanks Dave

[@derekmoore7986]

Get well, Bourbon Bill. Maybe a Coy Hill hot toddy will nake you feel better lol

[@bourbonbill]

Haha I’ll mix one up tonight

[@SigSauerSauce]

Other than the price difference, how does the Sagamore Manhattan compare to Disco 8? Both are on the shelf near me for $80 and $140 respectively. Which one should I get?

[@bourbonbill]

I mean both are great but totally different. If you only have the funds for one the disco 8 is the way to go. Sagamore may do another manhattan finish but generally Bardstown doesn’t repeat the discos

[@SigSauerSauce]

@bourbonbill Well, both followed me home!

[@bourbonbill]

@@SigSauerSaucehaha that’s the right choice for sure

[@SigSauerSauce]

@bourbonbill I think so. I'll probably buy some backup sagamore since they were bought by an Italian company. Perhaps some 7 year store picks. You never know what they are going to change. Most companies that get bought out (not just distilleries) suffer in some way after being bought by a larger corporation.

[@bourbonbill]

@@SigSauerSauceyeah for sure their store picks are great. They are slowly moving to their own distillate so the 7yr mgp ones will disappear eventually

[@jamesstreet1144]

Great collection, or should I say selection? I’ve got more bottles, but you have more quality. Always good to see what others have.

[@bourbonbill]

Haha thanks. I try to keep it reasonable and really only buy stuff I think I’ll like

[@bourbonbill]

Haha I got mine at Costco

[@cancelchannel3394]

The one most important thing that you need, is more shelf space 🥴😅🤣😂

[@bourbonbill]

Haha I do need to make a Costco trip before that Chinese Metal gives out haha

[@dbealby]

The shelf is making me nervous after seeing Its Bourbon Nights crash

[@bourbonbill]

Haha I know right but hey it’s metal not plastic

[@davidteller7681]

Count me among the jealous, you have my Holy Grail bottle, KC12 CS. Never been able to find one.

[@Best_Served_Neat_On_Ice]

I've never seen the KC12 CS in the wild and, when I talk with others in the hobby about it, they haven't seen it, either.

[@bourbonbill]

It was a super limited 2020 release there was 2 batches the 124.3 and the 120.5. It was rumored to be KY only but it didn’t sell well as it had an msrp of 99 when at the time 14-15yr old Kc picks were still available for 60ish. The excess was sold off to total wine and for some reason the majority went to TW in Claymont DE where they sold it next to the identical looking regular KC 12 so people didn’t notice

[@bourbonbill]

See my other comment it was limited and hard to come by most people didn’t realize it existed when it released as they were still enthralled with the older picks out at that time

[@davidteller7681]

Thanks for the info Bill, all I knew was I can't find it!

[@Best_Served_Neat_On_Ice]

@@bourbonbill, Thanks for the history lesson. I hadn't heard any of that but have wondered why so little of the Cask Strength is around anymore. Earlier today another popular channel put out a video and I thought about your KC12 CS when one of the reviewers (by the name of Trenton) said that he knew Knob Creek did a cask strength version of the 12 Year in "2015/2016" and he further said he's been trying to find it "FOREVER" and he "just can't." (And this guy Trenton is known for being able to find hard-to-find bottles.) I knew that it wasn't 2015/16 but, instead, a few years after that. I'm pretty sure I saw a 12 CS come up on an auction site half a year back.

[@Canadastrong1]

Dude u need a nice new whiskey shelf glass cabnet 😂

[@bourbonbill]

Haha that’s money I couldn’t spend on bourbon then

[@stephenhumma4772]

FYI the Calumet 16 is up on the PA site. Get better

[@bourbonbill]

Thanks Steve and I think that’s leftovers surprisingly they still sit on shelves

[@thomasmichael6509]

Sam Houston is unfortunately permanently discontinued. I think they ran out of enough good stock to keep that line since it was essentially the honey barrels for calumet

[@bourbonbill]

Yeah I heard that but for 2024 they are doing a calumet 17 so that should be both good and interesting

[@noobtubetay]

You need to pick up a Ben Holladay soft red wheat Rickhouse proof asap.

[@bourbonbill]

I just got a bunch of samples of Ben Holladay products been to sick to try them but that’s in there planning on a doing a video review soon of it

[@Best_Served_Neat_On_Ice]

@@bourbonbill, Holladay seems to be the "It Boy" of bourbon right now but reviews are a bit mixed; looking forward to hearing what you have to say.

[@bourbonbill]

@@Best_Served_Neat_On_Iceyeah I’m curious myself it’s either going to be good at 7ish years like wilderness trail or it’s not you know

[@Best_Served_Neat_On_Ice]

@@bourbonbill, I've seen a few reviews of their bottled-in-bond bourbons and a couple different reviewers have said that one (or both) of those bottles were overpriced at $50. It was said that the more appropriate price was around $30. So, so far I haven't put money toward any of it.

[@cancelchannel3394]

The knob creek 18 wasn't that great 🥴

[@bourbonbill]

I enjoyed batch 1 more than batch 2 but it’s an oak bomb either way

[@100puremustard5]

Worst intro ever! I hear "It's a veeerrrryyyyyy special.......", but instead of the shaking hands I get a dark screen of nuthin!!! C"MON BOURBON BILL!!! 😂😂😂 To be honest I expected you to have 300+ bottles. But you have a really good variety with some great store picks! Those KC12 CS are the real deal for sure (had a sample of a 124.3 proof, MONEY). For me going foward it's mostly about the picks. I'm just done with shelfers and most LE's

[@bourbonbill]

Haha sorry too sick looking to film the intro normally. And nah my wife would me if I had that many. The secret is you can do the whiskey tube game with a lot less than people think. And I agree besides the few big name JD LEs I’m all about good quality store picks of odd ball stuff. That 11yr Kc pick beats a lot of more expensive bottles for example

[@100puremustard5]

@@bourbonbill One of the reasons I really like your channel is our tastes line up pretty well, I love that rich oak profile where a lot of people just want sweet Buffalo Trace etc. For example I really enjoyed Calumet 16 (lots of ppl didn't) and have had a couple different batches. Took a few months to open up but are some of my favorite sippers. But yep, it's about the picks. Got a Russell's SiB Camp Nelson E pick that gives the Single Rick F a run for it's money, and it was $70 doll-hairs!

[@bourbonbill]

@@100puremustard5yep it’s all about the old oaky and deep dark and rich here haha. I haven’t seen a RR pick that wasn’t 90 something anymore I’m glad they are still out there reasonable
