I just bought a bottle of Cimarrone Repo! … for $70… it was the only bottle left. It’s hard shopping for spirits, because what you see recommended in books or on YT are often being recommended at least in part based on value, and prices in different markets or in different places and times can be WILDLY different. Reminds me of when I had to pay $60 for a bottle of Buffalo Trace, because all my channels and books recommended it as the one to get. But all that love and hype had a lot to do with the fact it used to cost $20-$30/bottle. At a certain point is was worth the money just to finally try the damn thing and I felt lucky to have the opportunity. Now it BT seems like it’s back on shelves and back down in price. But I could have gotten a bottle of Russel’s Reserve 10 year and have money leftover for what I paid on that bottle. I wouldn’t want your job of trying to make recommendations on such a moving target. Especially on KZbin, where people might come across your video years later and assume they are current enough.
