There are 2 belle mead reserves, the 108 "regular" and one that says cask strength and has a written proof.

​@@Bourbon_Hunterthe hand written ones were older releases and the proof would vary. All sourced MGP

Ok, so I love Marshall and his channel… great video! That looked like a lot of fun! But that Makers Mark Wood Finishing snag at the end was crazy! Can’t wait to hear how good it is! Also, that JW Dant is legit for the price. The JTS Brown is also a bottom shelf banger too! 🥃

The Rye that got me onboard was Knob Creek7 y/o .. Wished we had the Sagamore's to try down here :( And the answer to what is better the 12 or 18 yo Knob Creek the answer is the 15yo knob creek ;) Im assuming its small batch not cask strength.

In Australia its in abundance on every shelf in every store and its msrp.. wished we had Weller !

[@apeekintime]

I've had the J. Rieger Monogram - yeah it's a HARD pass at the $170 price (and that's basically retail). It is a HEAVILY wine finished bourbon. Basically you get the sherry and malt and not in a pleasing scotch way. It's super harsh and play doughy. It's weird. I'm glad I tried it at a bar for $10 just to remove all curiosity. J. Rieger has a 6 year BIB bourbon and Rye and those are decent buys for $50. Problem is they are located 25 minutes from Ben Holladay... and yeah Holladay BIB is now 7 years and it just demolishes J. Rieger. Holladay doesn't have a rye so I guess they win there.

[@apeekintime]

That Belle Meade is very good. I have it and the New Nelson Green Briar Reserve and it's no contest. You can taste hints of them being similar but one is like a B+ and the other is a C. The older Belle Meade Reserve with higher proof are actually A+s but I've only ever seen the 108s. You can find them at 40% of the stores around St. Louis and the price ranges from $55-75. I've actually put a big dent into the one I have. Hoped that the Nelson Green Briar was close but it's not so I'll have to head out and get a bunker bottle of it in case there is ever a run on the remainder.

Buffalo Trace makes a very good Old Fashioned. That Peg Leg Porker is really good. Marshall found it! Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Store Pick is soooo good.

You really should try that RDOne Oak & Maple double finished (brown label) since you love Widow Jane Decadence. It's a fantastic maple finished bourbon, and the double finish makes it have great depth aside from just maple-y sweetness.

Everybody talkin about that dant! Its a sleeper! Thank you for watching!

[@apeekintime]

You don't want the Old Dominick BIB - you want to find the Barrel Proof. The BIB is fine but the Barrel Proof are excellent - but impossible to find now. About a week after the Brewzle video I headed over to a store I knew had one hidden on their shelf with Jack Daniels (they are in a bougie neighborhood so no one looks at that shelf). It was still there and I bought it for $65. It's actually great - he got that one right. I'd tried their BIB earlier in the year and thought it was terrible but maybe I tried the Tennessee whiskey and not the bourbon. The one I bought is the bourbon.

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

Gottcha! Thank you for the heads up!

[@AlecS94]

Anytime I find a 1.75 of Weller SR or BT for 55 or less I grab it. Makes great cocktails and they’re solid low proof pours. Cheers y’all and congrats on the finds!
