Is anyone else tired of special releases no one except KZbin channels can get and then we have to watch them drink it and tell us how good it is..?

[@MattD86]

Yes.

[@TheAverageGuy12]

@@MattD86 A few of them filter down to the peasants.

[@brysontaylor1223]

This is why I prefer SLB. They’ll do limited but they mix in a lot of available blinds, local stuff and shelfers.

[@TheAverageGuy12]

@ For me it all comes down to Palate. These guys, well Zack at least 😄, hits with my tastes so I always know I'm gonna like what he's sipping on.

[@johnmaryclague7069]

Availability is killing this sport.

[@epegr1075]

The unattainable limited releases are uninteresting at this point. Easy example of this is I watched one channel sip Daniel Weller last year, and didn’t click into anyone else’s. Four years of watching bottles I’ll never see / be able to afford is my limit I guess.

[@epegr1075]

And to answer what I’m excited about. Hopefully more availability as things continue to settle.

[@LeatherDaddy97]

Im excited about the craft distilleries getting more distribution and putting out older product that you can buy everyday thats better than most things buffalo trace makes​@@epegr1075

[@jasonhenderson5220]

Not even chasing limited releases….if I find it, I find it. But I rest knowing there are too many more great and accessible releases to be stressing over things most of us can only find on secondary.

[@MrBoostin18]

@@epegr1075 there won’t be no availability. They keep upping distribution in other countries and aren’t upping distribution in the US and if they do it all goes to California and Texas.

[@richb9137]

Broke people complaining

[@josephwojcik8207]

One thing not everyone noticed is that the Weller 18 is a straight wheat whiskey instead of their normal bourbon mashbill. So this is likely part of that wheat whiskey they made years ago that was a portion of the Weller millennium barrels.

[@geland1]

I’m done w Buffalo Trace, have moved on to just focusing on buying barrel picks from local stores and trying new distilleries whose own stuff is coming to a good age like Bardstown, Hard Truth, Driftless Glen, etc…

[@mozambique7930]

Pinhook light blue top High proof rye has the same Buffalo Trace flavor profile and is easy to find usually for around 65 or so. Same with Jimmy Red Classic and the Ben Holiday Soft Red Wheat is an E.H Taylor / Weller flavor bomb on steroids!!!

[@brineshrimp8603]

Excited to possibly get a Russell 13. WT is also coming out with a 101 8 yr that should be obtainable and for a decent price

[@Bourbonandbrews]

Just because it’s older doesn’t always make it better guys.

[@joshneff3324]

Love RD Ones amburana. Apple crisp flavor. Not an everyday drinker but nice "desert" drink

[@keenanholcomb5680]

Was coming to say this!!!! Actually just had my buddy pick me up one in Chicago last night. The best amburana in my opinion.

[@tommydeadwood]

It’s really good. One of a few bottles regularly rebuy.

[@jakesmith2393]

Cinnamon Toast Crunch all day long

[@onewun4]

Excited that Four Roses is starting to roll out 100 proof single barrels alongside the OBSV of their other recipes for the next few years. 45-50 to try the different recipes rather than only barrel strength offerings now over 100 each!

[@coltonr5741]

Where do all the GTS go though? There isn’t a liquor store in 5 states from me that ever, EVER, would put one on the shelf. Maybe a once a year Christmas raffle or bundle where you have to buy 500 in other drain pours

[@geno816]

They sell em secondary. Or keep them in the back for years. Or give them to their customers with high spend history

[@KurtFogleman]

I was able to get one a week ago at an allocation drop. Basically like winning the.

[@LeatherDaddy97]

@@justinvandee9428 i saw that and passed. Id buy it for $60 but $200 is insane

[@DavidG-f6t]

Buffalo Trace most certainly has more. They put out 4 grain this week and we all thought it was gone. They put out Elmer 100 tribute at Christmas and we thought that was gone. They hold back lots of stuff.

[@concernedcitizen939]

Every distillery is trying to figure out how to maintain or increase market share as the bourbon demand softens. The days of demand for allocated, hyper-priced secondary market bourbon is coming to an end. We’re entering into a buyers market for bourbon and the distilleries, distributors, and liquor stores will be working hard for our business. This will mean great bourbons at lower prices - finally. When Stagg is now in stack-outs on liquor store floors at half of what they were asking a year ago you know the market is changing. Expect “affordable” bangers from every distillery in years to come.

[@pyratepotter4850]

Yay more BT products I will never see.

[@MrBoostin18]

They are releasing a bunch of new stuff that no one can afford or won’t be able to find as always. When they need to focus on their core lines.

[@JackFrost-u6t]

Bourbon has become what comic books were in the 1990s. Everyone has a special limited release. That market crashed hard also.

[@brysontaylor1223]

I just want four roses to release a barrel strength rye and maybe a finished product

[@2011blueman]

I have five old forester single barrel store picks and they are all around 130 proof, not sure what the difference is going to be for the 117 series except more expensive and smaller bottle. Don't really care about buffalo trace's new releases since I live in Virginia and haven't seen any of their products on the shelves except for their base product in several years now.

[@nateduncan7089]

My thoughts exactly I have numerous Single Barrel Barrel Strengths at a similar proof point.

[@johnh8268]

What are you talking about? Virginia has dropped EHT SmB, EHT SiB, EHT BP, EHT BPR, ETL, Stagg, Blanton's 375ml, Blanton's 750ml, ER 375ml, ER 750ml, ER 1.75ml, BT, Weller SR, Weller Antique. VA gets more BT stuff than most states.

[@bourbonkingdom]

So the 117 series should be batched. Unsure of how big it will be as in number of barrels but it will be different then a standard single barrel.

[@2011blueman]

@johnh8268 I live in NoVa. Those all get bought within minutes by the flippers, retirees, and 21 year olds that are constantly camping the stores. Some of us have jobs and lives, so we can't follow the facebook flipper forums and run to the local stores on a dime. I haven't seen a single one of the bottles you mentioned on a shelf in the last 4 years.

[@henryhickey8330]

Excited to see more allocated product on the shelves

[@Jayo_the_Giant]

Psychology is one hell of a drug.

[@tranmd80]

The weller 18 is a wheated whiskey as opposed to the usual wheated bourbon. I think that was listed on the bottle label.

[@MrRockingRilo]

agree agree agree. Say no to chasing special releases. Find a nice high proof Jack Daniels Single Barrel (bourbon or rye) and a bottle or two of the many amazing Copper and Cask releases. Keep a Benchmark Bonded around for everday pours and to scratch that buffalo trace itch. Old Forester 100 for manhattans. That's my opinion.

[@mozambique7930]

Dark Arts just came out with a Amburana finished rye that is phenomenal!!!

[@smittysmitty481]

Good luck finding this Ladies & Gents

[@johng5710]

JD 14...nothing else comes close as far as what I'll be chasing after.

[@ExcellenceInThings]

I’m excited to not chase any of these hard to find special editions anymore. It just continues to get more and more ridiculous.

WLW is traditionally 12-12.5 year old I believe

[@tomfranchetti6138]

More shit i won't be able to find or afford. Frankly, im done with big distilleries and their games. Drinking and buying more and more craft distillery products that taste great and don't cost your first born.

[@GrantAhten-m2j]

The Weller 18 is a wheat whiskey, not a wheated bourbon so that may also affect demand.

[@robertrackuzius3722]

The Weller name affects demand.

[@bloodCount8895]

18 yr 90 proof lmao. You taters are ridiculous

[@LeatherDaddy97]

Considering how horrible weller 12 is i cant imagine an 18

[@thomasmichael6509]

Some of the best whiskey out there is 90 proof. You proof hounds are ridiculous

[@LeatherDaddy97]

@@thomasmichael6509 i mean personally i dont dislike weller 12 because its 90 proof, i dont like it because i think it tastes the same way dog pee smells. Rip 10 and 12 have the same issue. Havent had the 15 or 20 but the 23 was way overoaked imo.

[@bloodCount8895]

@thomasmichael6509 it's not that. It's that we know secondary pricing will be half of Millennium pricing and at 90 proof 18 Yrs you're wasting your money. Just like how people waste their money on SiB which is Special Reserve at 97 proof. Waste money on CYPB. And waste money on 12, OWA, and FP secondary pricing. Weller is an okay bourbon. At msrp it's fine. Hype wise is okay. Secondary pricing GTFO.

[@thomasmichael6509]

@@bloodCount8895 that makes sense, that’s not in any way what your original comment indicated though lol

What are you expecting from OF 130 batch proof vs single barrels that are 135 plus proof? I have store picks that are 135-137 proof. Is the batch older?

[@jnickels]

@@richb9137 can’t relate with the common man desiring something limited without paying 10x or more in some cases huh? Either you’re just that arrogant OR you’re one of those d-bags that’s trying to scalp others. It’s one thing if the distillery puts a bottle out and says “this is $500 juice”. Completely different if someone grabs up all of a $80 bottle they can and then says if you want it give me $500.

[@Bourbonandbrews]

You mean take a butt jabbing in price? I’ll blind you down stuff bet you can’t pick allocated from some others that are far easier to obtain. ? Rye whiskey ? Why chase shit when you can find JD single barrel barrel proofs for 61.00 a bottle ? Just so your can brag that you have a limited bottle ? 😂

Weller 18 at 90 proof? Going to be wildly overpriced and underwhelming

[@trackvol]

And it's not even a Bourbon. It's a Wheat Whiskey. Costs $2,000 but tastes more like $65.

[@MarkTraveler85697]

Enough of this bullshit, just one old guys opinion.

[@cartermayfield]

I’m a little bothered by the fetishization of proof in the bourbon community. RR15 was proofed down perfectly. Most OFBS SiB’s that I have tried are hot messes. I think the 100 proof version show better than the barrel strength. There’s a reason OFBB is offered at 90-107 proof. I’m not saying 96 proof is ideal… but they do look at how the whiskey presents at different proof points. Upping the proof on OF products does not get me excited.

[@johng5710]

Yeah the reason BB is proofed down to 90-107 is so they can sell more bottles

[@lipservicecrew]

dont like X . lol . sums it up.

[@bradmartz4106]

Probably big fans of Facebook 😅

[@bourbonkingdom]

It's not that we aren't fans of X I just don't use it a lot anymore. I used to look at it more for sports/gambling stuff but I just kinda stop using it for that. I PROMISE it has nothing to do with politics lol.

[@allensd23]

Buddy, do yourself a favor and have an intelligent, informed conversation with your local/favorite store(s). Continue to patronize that store(s), grow in your personal bourbon journey and i promise your frustration and il-informed takes will be moot and opportunities to purchase allocated/sought-after bourbons will become more available to you.
