If this bourbon was less than $115 whats the max you would pay?

I don't even want to pay $65 for the other whiskey row bottles. I'm looking for unique flavor profiles in my middle age. Since this didn't seem to overwhelm you at all I'd throw it into the bourbony bourbon cupboard and let it get lost to memory. I'm certain they don't garner the same views as bourbon does but can we get some more non-American coverage in 2024?

At $115 - pass. Simply too many other whiskeys out there with quality just as good or better and often at a lower price tag. It seems like too many of the producers are getting into the "boutique" whiskey style and it's starting to get old.

Same here. I really want to hear more whiskey tubers pushing back on these prices instead of agreeing that it's in line. $115 for a 10 to 12 year age statement is a hard no for me with scotch and an even harder no for me in bourbon.

You should do a blind between the 100 proof Old Forester products like I did! 1924, 1897, 117 series bottled in bond, and 100 proof black label store pick! 1st and 4th place was easy to determine but 2nd and 3rd place was coin flip so close! My results were 1st: Black label store pick obc kitchen 2nd: 117 series bottled in bond 3rd: 1924 4th: 1897

Seems I've reached that maturity point in my bourbon journey that $115 is just a no go. At one time, I had a cap of $70 which I elevated to $100 for what I determined would be a special bottle. I'm decided I'm going back to $70. Too many really good bottles to fall for the cunning marketing by the distillers.

I'm surprised if OF made any significant change that would alter their profile. 1920 has always been such a staple and solid bottle for me and still is. Also, at what point do you believe something shifted in the current offering vs. previous bottles? Starting last year? Longer ago?

This is what the ridiculous secondary market buyers have given us. BTAC MSRP $129, but people paying thousands. Same with Van Winkle, etc. has led to the distilleries pushing the MSRP for meh bottles into the hundreds just to capitalize on the idiocy. No reason this should be double the price of the other whiskey row bourbons, but they know "collectors" will pay what regular "drinkers" will not.

I prefer the Copita style glass to the Glencairn. I like having a stem to grip onto. The Glencairn always feels awkward to hold, at least to me. I haven’t tried the 1924, but I’m a fan of the 1920. $115 seems a little steep to me. I would have liked to see it bottled at a slightly higher proof. But I’ll reserve my final judgement until I have the opportunity to try it

Copita has no lip and is less tulip shaped near the top, as opposed to the Eisch here (a newer version it seems, with a more pronounced curvature I personally don't prefer to the old). I also prefer the Copita, but I wish they would make it a bit smaller, or squat. These days I drink out of a tray LOL, or short trifle dish, rather, and sometimes a tiny goblet.

I noted before that your taste preferences are the most like my own of any of the whiskey reviewers I know of. You are spot on with the acetone comment on the 1924. It is (INO) the weakest of the OF Whiskey Row series. Thinking it is more like a $40-50 bottle. Surprisingly short finish as well. I would stay with 1910 & 1920, or actually a 50-50 mix of 1910 and 1920, which, to me, resembles Birthday Bourbon. Give that a try.

We’ve hyped 1910 and 1920 SO MUCH it’s insane to think OF wasn’t listening. So I’ve no trouble believing the $115 tag. We will see. But I won’t pay that. Nice review though. First one I’ve seen or read and to be honest I’m glad you weren’t blown away.

How would you say the OF 1924 compares to the OF SiB 100 proof (black label) bottles you've had?
@TheMashandDrum
@TheMashandDrum 11 ай бұрын
They compare more to the 100 proof single barrels rather than the barrel proof ones. The barrel proof single barrels can be 130+ proof. However this definitely has layered flavors compared to the regular 100 proof picks that are only 4-5 years old

Loving my Penelope 9 year. $70. Loving my KC 9 AND 12. $37 and $70. Loving my HH 7 BiB. $49. Why would I pay $120 for 10 year? They do know there are several 10 year bottles out there that are sub $70 right? RIGHT?

It’s still going to fly off shelves in this market. Distillers have learned they can charge whatever they want for new releases and people will pay it. For everyone that doesn’t want to cough up $115 there’s one that will. I’m guilty of if sometimes too. Its the market we’re in.

How is the value even? The review certainly didn’t sound overly positive compared to what I’ve heard for you on something like Knob Creek 12 which is a lot more available right now and SRP is ~$40 cheaper than this offering. I was excited about this when I thought it would be priced at least near the other whiskey row offerings (a bit higher would have been fine/expected with the age statement) but I’m having a really hard time getting excited about this for $115.

I said even based on prices of their other stuff at 4-5 years old and this being 10. This would probably go below for me if it ends up being readily available. But right now not knowing the availability compared to others and the market I said even

@@TheMashandDrumYeah, I get relative to the claimed typical age of the other Whiskey Row products, but from a broader market perspective I just don't think this has good value. Granted if the liquid was really heavily curated and truly excellent (like Michter's 10 year from 2023) then maybe it would be, but that definitely doesn't seem to be the case.

My thoughts exactly. The market could definitely use more competitors for those two 10 years at their prices. Old Forester clearly had no interest in that, or in going after repeat buyers.

I for sure do not see myself paying $300 for this bottle or any bottle for that matter. I think RR10Y and Eagle Rare are very good. The RR I can find with a little work but the ER is a unicorn around here. I think that even at the $115 I have to wonder if it is going to be that much better than RR or even Buillett 10Y which are both cheaper and easier to find so I don't even think I would get it at the $115. Of course that will probably change if I ever see it on the shelf locally. I really do like the 86, 100, 1910, 1920, and Statesman that I have tried from OF but I think they are also very good values.

I would love to understand the pricing strategy on this bottle. it's a 10 year, 100 proof, for an msrp of $120... What am I missing? I tasted it. It was decent. ECBP, even with reduced age statement is still older, higher proof, cheaper, and in my opinion better. Even the 1920 tastes better in my opinion, and at half the price. Why is this priced so dang high????
