[@Kenobi487]

I always love the post of people in the car from clearly just picking it up and selling it.

[@apeekintime]

The bottle I've struck out on the most was Charteuse Green. It's not whiskey but I've been checking the specialty aisle all year waiting for more to ship. Finally landed 2 today and at a store I NEVER would have expected to receive Charteuse. The bourbon/whiskey I've been chasing all year was Bombergers 2024 and Booker's the Reserves. Finally landed Bombergers - due to having friends in Louisville who find it every couple weeks. The Reserve just doesn't exist if you ask me. I've seen 2 on shelfs and one was marked up to 400 and the other was being held for a raffle. I tried to talk the manager into selling it anyway if I buy some other stuff and because I'm a good customer. They didn't bite. It was their last bottle (of two) and they already promised it to the raffle. I'm guessing my best bet is to go to Kentucky during Christmas (and I 100% might do that) and New Year... and I'm off for those two weeks....

[@KyleEaton]

Another great video! Perseverance and relationships for the win! Some of those mid-tier allocations seem to be the hardest to find. I am talking about Blanton's SFTB, ETL, and Rock Hill Farms. Also, for such a large distribution, RR 15 was almost invisible here. Coy Hill was scarce, but priced absurdly so it was easy to ignore missing those.

[@mrgood1cor13]

Funny thing is, the day you picked yours up at Union, I walked in after you about 2 hrs later when Harry was working. Harry used to own a diner in my home town (as well as Belle Luna) and I recognized him as soon as he said Hi to me. Asked him if he used to own the diner and off we went down memory lane. Turns out, my shift at the FD (prior to me working here) were the ones who saved his life when he had a STEMI when he lived in my hometown. Long story short, he asked what I was looking for and the Russels 15 was top of my list and he kinda looked down for a sec and said, I think we just sold our last bottle earlier. 🥺 Then I saw your post as soon as I got back into my truck and I knew it was you! 😆 But at least we have a similar experience in trying to find this darn bottle (without paying 2nd for it). Ill find one one of these days. Cheers! See you in the chat group weather man!

I feel the pain on the Russell’s 15. My brother in law missed one by 1 person at a drop. Then, I successfully checked out and ordered one for both online drops. Card was charged and received an order number. Just for reservebar to email me 3-5 days later that unfortunately my order was mistakenly processed BOTH times lol. Ultimately I was lucky to have a connection who got multiple backups through VA ABC drops and got one to me for cost. I pick it up at thanksgiving can’t wait

i got SUPER lucky in virginia, and picked up a RR15 on the last announced drop they did at MSRP. actually sent my wife in to get a second, but that was for a friend of mine who's hooked me up quite a bit with a few bottles as well as alot of samples of hard to find bottles. so for about 12 hours, i had 2 lol. It's probably my favorite bourbon on my shelf (I need to blind it against RR13, Stagg JR, and a 10yr willett purple top i have to know for sure), but man it's good. i'm still hunting for a backup, i have found some, but nobody wants to come below 450 for one where i'm at. i'd honestly pay 350 for a backup if i could find it.

[@lesaldivar]

Happy Birthday!

[@apeekintime]

I would say RR15 is as rare, if not more rare, than Pappy 10-15. There are a TON of those bottles shipped each year, it's just the distribution is very very wide and most go out the back door or to charities. Apparently around 90k pappy were released this year and I heard RR15 between 60-80k. The Pappy number is likely very low actually, because I've seen far more released this year than 2023 and there were around 86k last year. Anyway, RR15 has an incredible nose, but it's a very debatable buy IMO. It's over oaked, like most KY whiskey that is 10+. It's actually extremely over oaked similar to EC18, just more proof. What everyone is getting fooled by the is nose. The aromatics are incredible but they aren't on the palate as much as you'd like. Again, totally a great pour. Top 10 of the year without a doubt... but not unique, and not better than RR13 batch 2 when you stop giving too much credit to the factors that actually don't matter. Color of whiskey DOES NOT MATTER (you don't drink color). Smell of whiskey only sorta matters. It's something you can evaluate and impacts flavor but you DRINK whiskey. The criteria that matters most is flavor. Unfortunately, RR15 is deep and oaky but lacks enough fruit flavors and depth. It has a HINT of cherry but it's pretty diluted when you actually start pairing it up against a good aged MGP or even RR13 in a true blind - removing color and focusing on flavor without knowledge of the bottles. It's massively overhyped and I know it's not just my bottle - I've sampled 4. Again, it's a top 10 this year, but I'm not sure it's even a top 5. It drops out of top 10 when you actually have a wider sampling of high quality craft. I've had 4 whiskies from craft distilleries that are better this year - they weren't cheap bottles though. These were 10 year anniversary drops and whiskey as old as 36 years from craft distilleries. These were special bottles but the were released this year. The best whiskey I drank this year was a 22 year old 100% rye that was limited to about 130 bottles. That was magical juice. It was so hyper limited that no blogger will be considering it in their top 10... other than me.

@@geofre44 ahhh not too adversed in the scotch world, but now you have peaked my interest. Did you grab an RR15??

@ yes i got both! One of them - to your point- I asked for it and it was the first time I had ever asked my guy for anything (I’ve been shopping there since 2019). I think he was surprised tbh. He knows i am a Scotch guy and the demand for allocated bourbon is so much higher so i don’t bother them with weekly or even daily requests for bourbons (he often laments about customers daily inquiries). But i figured that this Russell’s was worth a shot and i had accumulated a ton of goodwill. Now i have to build up my bourbon palate before i crack it open so as to fully enjoy it. So i have been enjoying your channel et al to help navigate and learn more about Bourbon, but I enjoy Scotch quite a bit more. Great video - the search is the fun for me so this video was on point.

[@matthewaitchison3328]

RR 15

[@apeekintime]

So when it comes to value... I totally disagree. Don't compare the MSRP to Pappy 20. Pappy 20 is a worse whiskey IMO and age, while it represents production cost, does not really mean much when it comes to value. If I sold you a 2 year old whiskey that tasted better than RR15... and I did it for $200 the only factor that matters is how much you paid for the experience. Price is what you pay. Value is what you get. When it comes to whiskey what you get is 1 thing - whiskey. Does it taste good and is it a quality product (as in they aren't cheating to enhance flavors... like some DO's might be doing)? That's really all that matters. So if my 2 year old product was $200 and was better in every flavor category... it's a better value than a $250 20 year old product. That's my point. People often talk about how value is subjective. If I make $10k/day from my investments or make $20 million per film do I really care about $250 per bottle of whiskey? Not at all - the PRICE is not a factor in the value of the product I'm buying. That's why luxury brands like Rolex and LE's like RR15 exist. They are a premium product that are 90% the same as a regular product in their category. RR15 and RR10 are vastly different in price but on the scale of spirits they are incredibly close. RR10 and RR15 share many traits - far more traits than they share with an unrelated spirit like Rum Fire. Within the category of bourbon they are also incredibly similar to each other compared to a 100% corn bourbon that aged for 1 day in new charred oak. Anyway, I just hate the fallacies that so many bourbon channels seem to fall into - value and price don't have a correlation. That's like shade and hue - similar but not synonym's. Similarly - Oak is actually a flaw. Modern whiskey drinkers are brain damaged and have been tricked into thinking a heavy oak profile is actually a boon. Go taste old whiskey, it's incredible and it completely lacks the over oaked nature of modern whiskey. They understood over oaking was a flaw and it buried the complexity of their whiskey. Today brands rely on over proofed whiskey to make a flavor bomb but older whiskey didn't. They used better wood, better water, and longer fermentation. The flavor came from the grain, the yeast, and the wood (not the char). Now we mostly drink wood char water and call it whiskey
