My July was an expensive one. I got a OF Warehouse H pick from 8th floor, Buffalo Trace Kosher Rye, Laphroaig Cairdeas 2024, Larceny Small Batch store pick from 2021, 1792 Sweet Wheat. Whisky I passed on Blanton's that was bundled with Widow Jane in a small Mom n Pop store. Also passed on a 1792 Full Proof.

[@andrettski8686]

Some great bottles David. My July brought me 2 Gene's Wheated Wheiners, 1 Nassiff American Whiskey, 2 KC 9's, 2 EC small batch, 3 EW Heros 1.75L and 1 WT 101 1.75L.

Hey Dwayne! That is the perfect place at the perfect time 😆. There is no hope in finding something like that here in Southern California 😅. Thanks a ton for your view and comment so quickly after video launch! Truly appreciate it and cheers ~

I love the way you video your monthly hauls. I get more out of the bottles you passed on than the ones you picked up. Great haul as usual. Enjoy those bottles

[@WhiskeyBank]

The "passed on" bottles are my favorite section to do as well as it really paints the struggles and the decisions most of us go through when we are out trying to buy those allocated or expensive whiskeys. Wish we would all find it at MSRP or have the money to buy them all, but unfortunately we need to make choices 😆. Thank you so much for you watching and commenting on my video so soon after launch as you always do! I truly appreciate it and cheers~

[@MrRockingRilo]

Think your 'passes' were right on - except the Found North B9. It's really amazing stuff. Got at MSRP ($160) and no regrets. Keep making great videos.

[@WhiskeyBank]

Hey Chris! The Found North was on my passed on and my whiskey haul list as I had a pour of it later and found it at a great price of $170 ✌. I also do not regret it (for now 🤣). I super appreciate you watching and commenting on my video so soon after launch! Thank you so much and cheers~

[@DaveVogelsang-b8v]

Nice haul David. I was able to find the MM Hearts Release for $79.99. I like it. HH Grain to Glass was $99 each. All 3 are good, but not worth the money. I was tempted on the 2 bottle bundle of Weller Full proof because they were non chill filtered, but too much money. I have sampled the Found North batch 9 and it is fantastic. It is a $150 bottle. I would buy it at $150. Great price on your JD Twice Barreled Rye. I see it for $250. 🥃

[@WhiskeyBank]

Hey Dave! As usual, you get all your bottles at MSRP or very close to it, so jealous of your hunting abilities 😆. I was surprised at the JD Twice Barreled Rye as I thought it was a mistake, no other places had it so I'm assuming it was just a lost case in the back they found later. Oh well, lucky for me!

Same on MM

[@Tylerdurhden]

Nice video thanks for sharing your July haul. Me I’m just starting my collection so I’m gathering some basic bottles that I think will help me expand my palate. Old Elk straight bourbon wheated 5 yr, Jefferson’s straight bourbon ocean aged voyage 23, Michters small batch American whiskey, Whistlepig bourbon piggy back 6 yr, Uncle Nearest 1856 premium whiskey, Buffalo Trace bourbon whiskey, Elijah Craig small batch, and experimental scotch taste Monkey Shoulder. In July I did have to pass on the highly allocated bottles of buffalo trace, but thanks to your tips August is looking promising. Cheers 🥃

[@WhiskeyBank]

Hey Mario! That's a great way to start off your collection with some wonderful "basic" bottles that are absolutely delicious 👍. Once you find out what you like and don't like, then you can refine your search to some higher priced or high proof of those types of whiskeys, which will save you time and money. Hope this helps and let me know which one of your collection is your favorite! I truly appreciate your view and comment! Thank you so much and cheers~

[@billpercival6544]

I really love your haul videos. Thanks for doing them. My 2-month haul was pretty heavy with Buffalo Trace... Knob Creek 12-year, Elijah Craig Toasted Rye, Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch, Eagle Rare 10-year, Weller Special Reserve, and Blanton's Single Barrell. I passed on a Blood Oath Pact 10. And I just missed out on a Stagg. My one regret was that I passed on a Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Bourbon. I tried to go back the next morning, but it was gone. Overall, I'm calling it a successful haul.

[@WhiskeyBank]

Hey Bill! That was a great haul and I'm sure you'll be able to find the Grain to Glass soon as it seems there are more than people think there are.

[@danawollam1805]

Tough month. There's a lot of competition from guys looking for the latest and greatest pour not to mention all the flippers that want to grab as many as possible. But that's a totally different topic for another day. I am truly interested in your review of the Smokeye Hill. For the price ($70-$80) and the proof (131 pf) it drinks hot but I found with small sips a fella can drink it neat and get the great mouth feel and long finish without the dilution that comes with putting it on a rock. What a delicious pour and a hidden value. I feel it currently is a little under the radar, but probably not for long. Oh, and since we're talking about hidden gems, Nick over at "King's liquor" in Corona has a store pick of New Riff bourbon. It is absolutely a home run. At $60 and 112 pf mm mm good. If you like darker pours (and you know I do)... this is for you. Keep them coming my friend ! D

[@WhiskeyBank]

Hey Dana! I also can't wait to review the Smokeye Hill and see what the hype is all about! Hopefully I'll get going and produce some videos 🤣. I'm glad you found a nice store close to you as those are not easy to find 👍. Thanks a million for your view and comment so quickly after video launch as you always do 🥰.

That Russell's 15 is going to be a tough one, but the rumors are there is a ton of bottles out there so hopefully it'll be like the Camp Nelson F where we will see it more and more as time goes by.

About the Smokeye Hill, I've since learned that judges did give it a composite score to send it into "finals" where it was then put head-to-head with GTS (and I think others) by a select few judges. So, they kind of did go directly against each other and after trying it, think that's kind of ridiculous.

[@WhiskeyBank]

Hey Dylan! That's what I heard. But with the amount of samples, I still don't want to say it "beat" the GTS, but outscored it 😆. I have done blinds with just 2 whiskeys and some with 6+.. and the order you take them make so much of a difference, I get different results every time I do it so I still will take this result with a grain of salt. But still amazing that it did out score the GTS and that's why I bought it 😄. I super appreciate you watching and commenting on my video so soon after launch! Thank you so much and cheers~

[@dneuens]

@@WhiskeyBank Yeah, I buckled and bought one too for 60 or 70 with a $10 coupon from Remedy. It's pretty good, but even next to Stagg it shows its youth. And I totally agree about blinds. Our palates are highly influenced by what we had before, and especially with barrel proof whiskeys, it's easy to overwhelm and blow out your entire palate in a few sips. You end up missing a lot of nuance. It's why I always tell people blinds are fun and interesting, but not remotely objective. It's also why I don't prescribe to the "opening up" or "neck pour" folk-wisdom, given how much our own palates are unreliable and change day by day. It's much more likely our palates and expectations change, not really the spirit.

I have done that a couple of times, but the hassle of going in... getting the bottle... waiting in line.. and even at checkout, sometimes they need a manager to by pass the system.

I saw 😥. I thought I waited enough but it seems I need to be even more patient 🤣. I greatly appreciate you watching and commenting on my video so soon after launch! Thanks a million and cheers~

I'm laughing so hard at the Bros Liquors "shout out" these dudes are rip-off artists when it comes to anything remotely allocated. "Love" having them as my local liquor store.

Hey Fey! I agree most of their stuff is overpriced, but when they do have a nice bundle, I have to let people now. Hopefully things will settle down and the prices will start to come down a bit, but we'll see with the allocation and holiday season coming up. Thank you so much for your view and comment! Greatly appreciate it and cheers~

I was lucky enough to grab RR15 for $250 on reservebar. I also grabbed a bundle with 2 RR10s and RR SiB Rye for $400.

Hey Tim! Wow!! Those are wonderful prices for the RR15 and the bundle! I need to find another RR15 at MSRP, but I'm not holding my breath 😆. I truly appreciate you watching and commenting on my video so soon after launch! Thanks a ton and cheers~

@@WhiskeyBank easily my favorite pour of the year! lol if I see it $300 and under it’ll probably be an instant buy!
