Rock Hill Farms Bourbon. Is it worth the Money? Compared to John J Bowman & Blantons

[@fyrebryte22]

LOL! Love the little horsey! Great video! Thank you.

[@bourbonbill]

Thanks for watching and yeah the little horsey is cool but the liquid inside is questionable lol

[@dans713]

I've got both gonna try it...

[@bourbonbill]

Let me know how you like it

[@Subourbon]

finally got one for a deuce. RHF is the nectar of the gods

[@bourbonbill]

Haha you have the one I’ve never seen a bottle of.

[@davidjohnson8930]

John J single barrel is excellent. Friendship and Saubels got store picks last year and they are fantastic!!

[@bourbonbill]

I’ve never had a store pick but I can only imagine it’s even better

[@jamesstreet1144]

That John J Bowman is a tough one to beat. Great video!

[@bourbonbill]

Thanks James for the sample now I can say I’ve tried Rock Hill Farms!

[@ikeyeet8312]

I see the john j every other month just north of pa 10 miles usually for 60 bucks, one store still has it for 75 right now

[@bourbonbill]

Okay great news that it’s still findable

[@The_Profezor]

Great comparisons! And hey, finally a video where I've actually tried all the bottles! I tried 1oz of RHF at a bar and I was very underwhelmed. It is good, dont get me wrong, but for secondary? Please... Just slightly better than Blanton's. By 10% maybe. None of us will ever see it at retail unless you win some sort of lottery. JJB is excellent. When the hype started a couple of years ago, I bought several online for $59. No regrets. Great bourbon that I would pay up to $70 for. I've tried several Benchmark products and I really dont like them. They come off so bright and young...no depth. Definitely get the young grain note. If you are a collector or connoisseur, I think you have to really be in love with BT to consider having any of those in your collection. Cheers everyone.

[@bourbonbill]

Haha all good points. I’m glad you could fully drink along on this one!

[@FakingANerve]

Where did you find that Blanton's airplane shot? That's *ADORABLE.* 😂

[@bourbonbill]

Haha the blantons minis aka foals instead of horseys. Pa puts them online every bone and then

[@FakingANerve]

@@bourbonbill I'll have to see if I can find one somehow, maybe online. I have a burgeoning collection of 50ml bottles. I always find them amusing. For example, I don't much care for Willet, but a 50ml Willet pot still bottle? I mean... who can resist that? 😁 Same with the fetus-Blanton's (that's right, because "baby Blanton's" is what we call the 375ml).

[@FakingANerve]

@@bourbonbill good god, I just googled them... 😳

[@SigSauerSauce]

PA had 2 recent drops of RHF for $50. I missed the second one by less than a minute, but was able to pick up a Weller SiB for $50.🤷‍♂

[@bourbonbill]

I missed them all lol oh well I’m not upset about those two bottles

[@SigSauerSauce]

@@bourbonbill They were gone in less than a minute. I was lucky to get the weller. When I loaded the page, the RHF wasn't loaded yet, but the weller was. I checked out the weller and went to grab a RHF, but it was gone. I would have preferred the RHF, but I'll take what I can get. Do you think JD SBBP Rye is worth $100? I saw a 134 proof bottle, but obviously $100 is a bit of a premium on it.

[@bourbonbill]

@@SigSauerSaucethey absolutely drink like they are worth 100 but honestly they are getting more prevalent so I would hold out for one closer to msrp

[@SigSauerSauce]

@@bourbonbill Your Sagamore reviews got me to give Sagamore and now other ryes a try. I've tried 4 Roses SiB, Thomas H. Handy, and Sazerac 18, and did not care for the rye spice on them. I just assumed all ryes were like that. But I see stuff like Sagamore and JD SBBP Rye get favorable reviews, and I was surprised by Sagamore. I picked up 3 of the Manhattan Finish Sagamore, so I'm eyeing a JD SBBP Rye to try.

[@ZeLuluBear]

A couple of Rockhills were selling in the UK for 200 British dollhairs but I passed. Didn't reckon it would've been a good buy considering its MSRP.

[@bourbonbill]

200 British is more than 200 is clams so yeah I would be a hard pass on that as well

[@graveshotx]

Rock Hill Farms is great at msrp. However, I prefer 1792 BIB. Not sure where I'd put John J Bowman as I haven't blinded that one much

[@bourbonbill]

That’s a good one to compare I didn’t have any 1792 BIB left but i remember it was decent stuff

[@davevogelsang6791]

Love the BB Shirt! Never been able to find a Rock Hills Farm in the wild. Big fan of John J Bowman Single Barrel. 🥃

[@bourbonbill]

Well Dave don’t worry about Rock Hill Farms it’s good but if you got a good John J you are close enough

[@timothyphillips5718]

Where are you getting blantons in pa I cant even get regular buffalo trace here in my area?

[@bourbonbill]

It comes usually once a month or so if you go to a premium store on drop day you can usually get one but the mini came from online

[@timothyphillips5718]

@@bourbonbill thank you for the info sir

[@msutton01]

JJB is fairly tough to get in VA. It sells out in about a day. Similar to ER in PA

[@bourbonbill]

Yeah I’ve heard that it’s hard to get now hopefully availability picks up

[@C_H_1972]

I found a RHFs by pure luck for $79 last year. It’s the best of the standard BT MB2 by a country mile. Let’s face it, we all want it to try it and to collect. JJB is a great bottle as well. Cheers any thanks BB!

[@bourbonbill]

79 is a good price and well worth a pickup at that. I get people want to collect it im just helping those feel less anxious that didn’t get it lol don’t overspend for it

[@C_H_1972]

@@bourbonbill For sure. You’re the most sensible guy on here. I’d pay up to $100 if I didn’t have one.

[@davebenson8547]

rock hill farms is $340 here in ny......smh

[@bourbonbill]

That’s a hell no

[@GLENBECKHAM]

Had a pour of rockhill farms at a bar. So glad I never paid the ridiculous prices I have seen it for ($250-$399). Its good ( much better than blantons ) but I wouldnt pay a penny over msrp for it. I really dont see why people go so crazy for this stuff. Give me a knob creek 12 that I can easily find for $65 and I’ll be a happy camper.

[@bourbonbill]

Damn right KC12 smokes it

[@timbuma3693]

I’ve only seen Rock Hill Farms once and it was priced at $350.

[@bourbonbill]

Wow hard pass at that price

[@thomasanderson2870]

All 3 of those first ones are NOT worth more than $20 🤫

[@bourbonbill]

Well 20 seems a bit short haha but we all know I’m not a fan of normal blantons

[@user-pq2dh4uq5g]

Tell em suck it billy!!!

[@bourbonbill]

Haha it’s good just wouldn’t pay secondary for it
