Russell's Reserve 15 for $40 at 90 Proof? | Is the LL/ME Laser Code BS?

[@HIYFD-o5k]

Rarebird got confirmation that while there isn't 15-year-old reject barrels in the LL/ME, it does have 11 and 12 year in it.

[@averagejoeswhiskey]

Yep I heard that but who really knows? They might have their reasons for wanting to keep a lid on the real story. I honestly didn’t expect them to taste so close, they are VERY similar.

[@HIYFD-o5k]

@@averagejoeswhiskey Did you have the LL/ME17 or LL/ME20?

[@averagejoeswhiskey]

It was a 20

[@denniswheeler4872]

Your video is the first one that I saw that did a proof down 15. Very interesting.

[@ScottW4631]

Great video. You are the first whiskey tuber that has actually proofed down the 15 for the comparison. Well done! I have been fortunate enough to find the LL/ME. I have not done the comparison, but standing on its own, it is a banger bottle.

[@jaronmartinez5820]

Ayyye the sample was put to great use! Great vid bud!

[@Jnickel74]

Great idea for a video! Glad to know my LL/me may be a poor man’s RR15

[@cindylowman4495]

Nice video. Thank you for trying to level the playing field.

[@kshindc]

Cindy! How you’ve been? So surprised to see you here!

[@BrianN-n3f]

Ha ha. For science! Love the approach. And sacrifice..

[@porkyprankster3532]

I have a WTSB with LL/ME. So does that make it a 15 yr

[@averagejoeswhiskey]

I think the laser codes only apply to the Russell’s 10, although I’ve come across some LL/ME single barrels and was very curious. Please lmk if it’s better than usual!

“Get the lasers!!!!” 😂

[@Eviewss]

Thanks for uploading pookiebear

[@bryonstirling]

LL/MF as close as I've seen

[@thomasanderson2870]

Just another rumor like OGD 114 being discontinued and the Early Times bib black/blue cap dilemma. (IMO) 👍😉💯 Cheers 🥃

[@Arook1427]

Marketing ploy to get people to buy more of the 10!?

[@kevincoe-e3o]

Nonsense

[@fattybourgeois1014]

You look like Stevan Demarco from Tell Me Lies

[@averagejoeswhiskey]

Thanks I guess? I’ve actually heard that twice now? Gotta check this guy out
