Overpriced boring whiskey in pretty bottles built by marketing. They get boring pretty fast after a couple sips.

Thanks fellas for saving me at least $100 on trying one of these. I’ve heard the hype. As far as the Emerald bottle goes, for under $100 I can grab a finished Sagamore Rye and enjoy the hell out of it.

Completely agree. This stuff is a masterclass in niche marketing. It is the Clase Azul of the Bourbon/Rye world (okay minus the additives). Awesome packaging that looks great on your back bar, approachable inoffensive product for the novice, and a premium but generally attainable price point with excellent supply (there's a few on the top shelf of just about every liquor store I've ever been in). It's the classic house warming gift given by the non-bourbon nerd to someone he thinks is a bourbon nerd; Unfortunately he's just like the Tequila nerd that ends up with a shelf full of Clase Azuls from friends and family after every birthday. Pity the non-aged stated stuff is so mediocre.

Awesome episode!! Blue Run is a typical whiskey company these days. Averaged sourced whiskey, over marketed and over priced. Tired of companies these days focusing more on the bottle than the bourbon inside!! And loving Dutch with the "I'm bored" fast pours by the end!!

I enjoy the Emerald Rye and that's about it. But this is how I feel about Nulu and some of the other brands right now who seem to release the majority of their stuff at the 100 dollar and up price point. I understand economics and the US whiskey market basically having a double whammy of inflation and massive hype-driven demand. My question is where is th actual value in terms of QPR. Brands like Four Gate are setting a new bar at 175+ and I know they're putting a lot of effort into their finishing and sourcing, but then you have true ground-to-glass brands like Frey Ranch who have an INCREDIBLE product at an entry level price. I understand you can't waste money doing these boutique tastings, but I'd be interested to see some head-to-heads with the "flagships" from brands like Nulu, Stellum, NBC, Blue Run, Smokewagon, etc. Thanks for the video, btw.

Amen. I feel bad for Dillon for getting mugged 7 times! I traded a MWND for a Golden Rye (damn you, Matt Porter). I was on vacation and found a bottle of the High Rye bourbon for the low, low price of $100. Two muggings and I was all the way out on the butterfly. Dillon just kept rolling the dice. I read an article where they said that they were marketing bourbon like tennis shoes and I was infuriated. Screw these people.
