Love the content!! You cover everything and are unbiased
Thanks a ton 😆 I try my best to be as transparent as possible as my reputation is all I got here on TH-cam.
Have a great evening and cheers ~
Passed :
Found North Hell Diver --- was selected in their lottery out the door w/ shipping was $187+. Simply too expensive for a Canadian Whiskey brand that I've never had before.
George T Stagg 2023 $900+ tax. First time I've seen this bottle for less than $1000 where I live ---- still too much!
Bought:
Penelope Valencia Batch 2 $100 --- Summer is coming and this is a great pour for a warm evening!
Stagg Batch 23C --- Price finally came down under $200 where I live. I got it for $175 +tax. FINALLY got my first bottle of Stagg! I wish that we saw prices like $67 that you pay in CA, but in NJ its just crazy high for the high end bottles!
David --- please review any of the Japanese whiskies. They are now appearing on our shelves but I don't know anything about them. Any education that you can provide would be greatly appreciated! Cheers to all!
Hey Thomas! Stagg was a great purchase. I got that one at a great price but I pay for it with time and energy by hunting often 😆. Once you pop open that Stagg, let me know how you like it!
I'm not too familiar with Japanese whiskeys in general so not sure it would help. I'll stick to american whiskeys for now 😅.
So wonderful of you to view and comment so quickly after video launch 🙏. Have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~

Wow! You stocked up alright 😆 awesome bottles but the question is, how long does it take you to finish all those bottles? 😁.
So wonderful of you to always view and comment so quickly after launch 🙏. Have a super fantastic weekend and cheers ~
@@WhiskeyBank Quite awhile, I just stock up when I can save $.Probably won't need any bottles for May or June.
That Disco 11 is amazing. I have backups because it’s so good.
Hey Tony! That's great news as I really want this to be a great bottle 😆
Thanks a million for your view and comment! Super appreciate it and cheers ~
Great haul David! Sometimes we just got to say no and pass. 😆 I haven't bought much at all, but I sure did get Sean's Knob Creek barrel pick and man is it delicious. Great video and Cheers!
Hey Jesus! I am fortunate enough to have some great bottles so I can pass on other good ones and be a little more picky then usual 😆. Nice get on Sean's pick of Knob Creek as everybody is saying that is a great pour!
Always so nice of you to view and comment on my videos! Have a wonderful week and cheers~
Great job. Like your rationale. Appreciate the thoughtful and honest opinion.
Thank you 😊. I know people want to see bottles, but also like to know the reasons for buying or passing.
Super appreciate your view and comment! Have a wonderful evening and cheers~
Another good episode David...our taste profile and preferences seems very similar and I agree with your passes for similar reasoning. The one exception is Penelope Rio that I like for some strange reason. Continuing to enjoy your work!
Maybe I should try the Rio at some point in my life as many people say it is the best amburana and honey Finish. Hopefully it'll change my mind on finishes as I haven't enjoyed too many so far 😆.
So awesome of you to view and comment so quickly after posting 🙏. Have a super fantastic weekend and cheers~
Hi David. Great reviews. I did buy the Screaming Titan as I do like wheaters and I really like Redwood Empire. I am sure that I am in the minority, but after tasting this Milk Chocolate liquid, I like it more than the Larceny BP I have. My understanding is that Screaming Titan , Devil’s Tower and Foggy Burl use their own distillate (at least partially) - really liked all three of these and I look forward to future Redwood Empire Distillate.
Hey Scott! You're correct, it does have a lot of their own distilled and aged whiskeys in the blend and that is awesome, but at the same time, pricing seems a little too high in my book. Now, this is probably due to the fact I never had a pour of it so I'm sure if I ever did, I would regret my decision not to buy it at $80 😆.
I truly appreciate your view and comment! Thank you so much and cheers~
Nice haul.
That 15 year Rare Perfection is $190 by me
It is crazy how cheap it is here and it just sits on the shelf 😆. I'm about to get another one just for fun 🤣.
Have a wonderful father's day and cheers ~
Killer score on the Michter’s! Well done.
The Michters were a lucky find and the reason I passed on the OF Barrel Strength Rye. Hopefully the good karma will continue in May 😆.
Thanks a million for being a super member and enjoy your weekend! Cheers~
@@WhiskeyBank
I have your Midwest sample pack ready to go. I should be able to get that sent out tomorrow. 👍
@@stymiesnerdly771 thanks a million sir 🙏. Always love to try new whiskeys 😆
love this monthly series ❤
It is one of my favorite videos to do as well 😆. Hopefully I'll stop passing on some great bottles 🤣.
So awesome of you to view and comment so quickly after posting 🙏. Have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~
I passed on a JD 12 at $199 but picked up a ASW GA Fiddler Heartwood store pick & a Forrester SB 100 proof. Great video David, I love the passed as much as the haul. Great bottles. Cheers
It seems people relate more to the passed bottles than the purchased ones as it is a gut wrenching decision sometimes to pass on a bottle 😅. I'm sure that list will get longer and longer as months go by 😆.
So cool of you to view and comment so quickly after video launch 🙏. Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~
Nice !
I'm with you, peeted isn't my jam. Also supporting Redwood Empire has been a thing I've been trying to do, but that price point is a bit much.
The rare perfection sounds like a buy next time I go to Hi-Time.
Thanks for the great content my friend !
D
Hey Dana! Redwood Empire has some awesome whiskeys and I'm sure the Screaming Titan will be a good pour but if it's $80.. I wish it was barrel proof or at least high proof, not 96 proof. Oh well, probably will have a pour and regret not buying 😆.
Thanks a million for being a super member 🙏. Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~
Nice bottle haul. And yes, sometimes the abundance of riches forces you to say no and pass on some of those.
Hey Bradley! You're absolutely correct, I'm blessed to be able to buy so many great bottles and I can pass on many others 🙏.
Hope you had a great April haul as well.
Always appreciate your views and comments! Have a fun and safe Cinco de mayo and cheers~
I passed on the Bookers because it was $120 min. Also passed on multiple redwood empires at total wine. What I’ve learned is to wait on certain bottles they have lots of. When they don’t sell they’ll mark them down eventually.
Hey Dean! That might be a good strategy as I see total wine lowering prices on many of their bottles now. Hopefully the trend continues 😆.
So nice of you to view and comment so quickly after video launch 🙏. Have a fun Cinco de mayo and cheers~
@@WhiskeyBankno problem man. I’m smoking some pork belly and beef ribs this Cinco De Mayo. Enjoy as well. I hope your Total Wine has good sales. So happy I got Westland whiskey at a discount. Also I passed on the Woodford Reserve batch too. I would have passed on that $900 Heaven Hill bundle as well.
I passed up on almost everything in april. I bought 21 bottles on my trip to Kentucky in march so I needed to take a break from buying whiskey.
Only thing I got was a 1792 12 year and a widow jane lucky thirteen.
Hey Glen! 21 bottles! That is some haul and a break is well deserved 👍 but the 1792 12 year and widow jane 13 are some great bottles 😆.
So awesome of you to view and comment so quickly after posting 🙏 have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~
Great haul on those two Michters. They're on my list. That Stagg at 67? Amazing. I just got a Stagg 23b and EHT SiB for 120 each OTD and I'm very happy with that price. Of course those bottles came from NorCal shipped to me in Houston. EHT BP is for sure a unicorn for me.
You got a nice haul yourself! You got the Stagg and EHT sib at some good prices as well 👍.
Thanks as always for your view and comment! Have a fun Cinco de mayo and cheers~
I bought the bookers cuz I've never owned one but loved the pours I've had. I also paid $79 for the Screaming Titan Redwood empire. It sold out in less than 3 minutes! I hope it's good,still waiting. I think skipping WR bat h proof was a good move as I own it. It's not worth $140. I heard heaven hill 18 wasn't worth $400. I always pass on Russell's. Not a WT guy especially for that insane price. I'd rather spend 400 on Heaven hill 18,but I'm a H.H. guy. Love the pass/buy videos. Cheers
Hey Jonathan! It seems more and more I'm regretting passing on the RE screaming titan 😆. Hearing good things about it. Bookers at 79 is a buy, especially if you don't have one. I would have purchased it at 95 if I never had one before and only passed as I got the last batch 😁.
I'm a wild turkey and russell's guy so it was hard to pass but 400 is just so high. Oh well, I got good whiskeys to drink so I'll be fine 🤣.
Thank you so much for being a super member and have a wonderful weekend! Cheers~
Would definitely like to see the disco 11 vs russells 13 review.
Had a pour of the disco at the distillery back in March. It was one of the best things I tasted on my trip. Picking up a bottle of it today at total wine. Pretty stoked about that.
Will do! Video is queued up and will be in production soon 😆
@@WhiskeyBank looking forward to it.
That is one heck of a haul my goodness. So many amazing bottles. I’m going to look into that concierge page, that’s a new one to me. I am interested in the Dico#11 comparison to Russell’s. That is a bottle I am looking to grab next
Hey Jim! I'm also very curious as well as the RR13 is so good so I'll need to do a comparison video very soon! Luckily the Disco #11 is available in many stores in our area so grab one while you can!
So fantastic of you to view and comment so quickly after video posting 🙏 Have a super weekend and cheers~
Great video! Totally agree with everything you passed on, would have done the same. I do love that Woodford bottle but agree it really needs to be under $100, too many great options in the $60-$80 range and at the price it's not worth it IMO
It is a shame that the Woodford Reserve batch proof prices are so high. If it was at $80 or so, there would be so many more people who would be willing and able to try this good pour. Oh well, I'll enjoy the bottles I got until the prices come down! (or I make more money 🤣)
I super appreciate you watching and commenting on my video so soon after launch! Thank you so much and cheers~
I prob would have done that heaven hill bundle honestly, thats not a bad deal at all
That heaven hill 18 bundle was a good one and got my agonizing for 10 minutes until it was sold out 😆.
I'm glad it sold out quickly as I might have also purchased it.
Thank you so much for your view and comment! Truly appreciate it and cheers ~
Congrats on the Cellar Aged! I know that's been a hard one to find. I don't think I've ever seen one around haha. This month, I just got a 375 of WT101 during a trip to sip. Also killing couple bottles to make more room.
Hey Danny! You know what you like so keeping your collection small is a great idea 😆. I wish I had the discipline like you, would really save me a ton of money 🤣. Give me a msg so we can meet up again and catch up!
So nice of you to view and comment so quickly after video launch 🙏. Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~
Thanks for the TW concierge tip 👌🏽
All good~ Hope it nets you something special!
Thanks a ton for your view and comment! Greatly appreciate it and cheers ~
Thank you for the video! I would love to see a review about the Yamazaki 12-Year-Old!
I'm going to be honest with you, I'll leave the Japanese whiskey reviews to the pros who have tasted and experienced them for much longer than I have. But I do plan to do a review through a community post for fun 😆. Lookout for those!
Thanks a ton for your view and comment! Super appreciate it and cheers ~
Disco 11 has beaten my RR13 in multiple blinds with friends….
I’m trying not to be mad about it😅
Interesting! I will absolutely need to do that comparison video soon 😆.
Thank you so much for your view and comment! Absolutely appreciate it and cheers ~
Love this series as it’s a great shop guide for a noob like me
There are no "noobs" in the whiskey community, if you love and enjoy it (responsibly), you're part of us 😆.
Hopefully I can provide more information in my next videos so you can make the best decision on your next purchase!
I greatly appreciate you watching and commenting on my video so soon after launch! Have a fantastic weekend and cheers~
Nice bottles! Can’t blame you on the passed bottles:) The Booker’s 2024-01 is nice not exceptional but for me at 72.00 I always buy. Russell’s Rickhouse is my favorite pour at this time. Michters B S rye great! Discovery 11 is great! Seems like fair trade to me! Congrats! I made a trade last week and got a Jack Daniels Heritage rye, Russell’s Rickhouse, and a Heaven Hill 17 yr! I also recently purchased a Michters BS Rye, Penelope Rio, Mythology Hell Bear CS, Mythology Hell Bear, Mythology Syrah finished, Little Book 5 & 7, Booker’s 2024-01, Magnus cigar #237 & #250, Pikesville, Bulliet 12yr Rye, and Evan Williams single barrel! This hobby is getting out of hand! Cheers!
Hey Nick! That is an impressive haul! Heaven Hill 17 is one of my unicorns I need to find in my life 😆. I'm still debating on the Russell's Single Rickhouse CNF. I think the FOMO might win out 🤣. Once you have a pour of some of the bottles you got, let me know how you like them!
So wonderful of you to view and comment so soon after video posting 🙏 Have a fantastic weekend and cheers~
@@WhiskeyBank the JD Heritage was a back up, Rickhouse was a backup, HH 17 is awesome! All the Mythology’s are really nice, LBook 7 is a backup, L Book 5 is really nice but the 7 is way better. Rio is super sweet cinnamon vanilla honey bomb! Michters BS rye is very good, Bulliet 12yr Rye and E Williams SB are nice inexpensive pours, when I buy I try:)
I also bought a RY3 Madeira finished and a Seelbach rye 130.8 proof pick that are both great bottles.
@@nickp5511 thanks for the information 👍 maybe I need to find a pour of the Rio 😆
@@WhiskeyBank I can send you one if you let me know how to ship it? Never sent anything in the mail. I can send some other samples just let me know what you want to try:) cheers
Man Stagg Batch 16 is my favorite Stagg. Nice pickup. Cheers!!!
Really? 😆 I need to open up my bottle soon and try it for myself!
So wonderful of you to view and comment so soon after video posting 🙏 Have a great weekend and cheers~
I'm gonna need you to get me a couple of those bottles of Rate Perfection. They are 189 here!
I got you Adam 👍
Nice video as always. I ordered the Redwood Empire Screaming Titan. Been looking forward to it. Hate to say I would have bought the Russell’s Rickhouse Camp Nelson F. I bought the Michter’s Barrel Strength Rye and have a few pours left of the Michter’s Toasted Rye 2023. Holy cow. Rare Perfection 15 Year for $80? I picked up a backup of Disco batch #11 for $129. So good. Stagg Jr 16 is the only Stagg Jr I do not have since Stagg 15. 🥃❤ I also traded for the MM Cellar Aged. Have not cracked it open yet. Saving for a Bourbon/Golf Weekend with my brother, cousin and best friend. I want you to review the MM Cellar Aged! 🥃
Hey Dave! I'm still debating on the RRSR CNF as I know a place that just got it for 350. Will need to think long and hard over the weekend 😆. I'm going to do a review of the Michters Barrel Strength Rye soon and will have to think of an idea for the toasted. Rare Perfection 15 for $80 was a no brainer, need to just pop it open soon and have a taste 😁.
If you request it, it shall happen! I'll do a review of the MM Cellar Aged sometime in May 😉.
Thanks a ton for becoming a super member! Have a safe and wonderful weekend and take care my friend! Cheers~
@@WhiskeyBank,
Check out Curiosity Public's full Review of the Camp Nelson F. For a quick summary, start their Review at the 21:00 mark where they're discussing the bottle's "Value." First thing that's said there is, "Not in a million years is this worth $300."
@@BeThr_Best_Served_Neat_On_Ice I'll do that! Thank you~
Would definitely like to see the comparison between Disco 11 and Russell's 13.
Hey Greg! It is on my to do list for May! I wait to see the results as well 😆.
So awesome of you to always view and comment so quickly after video launch 🙏. Have a dry and wonderful weekend! Cheers ~
I passed on the Rare Character and Russel’s Reserve CNE at Hi-Proof as well. I would love to have the RRCNE, but spending over $200 for any bottle is difficult to pull the trigger!
Hey Joey! Yeah, the CNF is just such a high price point. Wish it was mid 200s but I guess I'll just enjoy the bottles I already got 😆.
So wonderful of you to view and comment so quickly after posting 🙏. Have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~
Hey Joey! The russell's CNF is so highly regarded but so expensive 😭. Maybe if I stop buying so many bottles I can buy it but oh well 😆. Maybe next lifetime 😂.
Thanks a ton for your view and comment so soon after video launch! Greatly appreciate it and cheers ~
Bought a BTAC George t stagg the other day for 550 not my proudest moment 😂. Will be a long time till I pop that sucker open for a special occasion
I would have probably made the purchase at that price as well as I never owned a GTS before 😆. Congratulations on finding the bottle and hope that special occasion occurs very soon!
Thanks a million for your view and comment! Super appreciate it and cheers ~
i could never see myself spending more than a 150 on any American whiskey. the only American whiskey i spent that much on was the high west midwinter, its one of my absolute favorite bottles of all time and this is coming from a scotch drinker
I feel the same way about scotch currently as I'm an American Whiskey guy 😆. But I'm sure as I get more familiar with scotch and single malts and learn to appreciate the mastery, I will change my mind 😎.
Thanks a million for your view and comment! Super appreciate it and cheers ~
Nice!
Hey Adam! Hopefully my trust in your palate will pay off 🤣.
So sweet of you to watch and comment so quickly after launch 🙏 have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~
Great haul David as always!!!
👍
Thank you ☺️. So always fun to buy these bottles but a lot more fun to drink them 😆.
Greatly appreciate your view and comment! Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~
Always enjoy this monthly vid.
Thanks Dave! Always appreciate your kind words and watching my videos on the day of posting 🙏. Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~
Also, I would like to see a review of the MMCA.
Also on my to do list... just need a good idea for a video 😆
@@WhiskeyBank Maybe compare to the Weller Full Proof or A107?
Stagg Jr. 가격이 환상적이네요!!! Old Forester랑 Russell Rickhouse 엄청 기대했었는데ㅋWild Turkey Generations 가격이 엄청나던데 교수님 드셔보셨을까요?
한병에 $500이라서 저도 아직 사지 못하고 있어요 😆 마셔보셨나요?? 진짜 그렇게 맛있는지 궁금하네요 ~~ ~
@@WhiskeyBank 저도 가격이 너무 사악해서 아직 구매를 못해봤습니다. 한국에서도 아직 제품이 들어온 Bar가 없네요 ㅠㅠ
I wish my TW Concierge service offered those goodies. I just get meh offers. I’d like to see reviews on the Japanese whisky’s. I got some in the past when they were reasonable priced. Some have come off allocation and no one buys them now. We’re all waiting for TW to drop them down in price.
Not too knowledgeable with Japanese whiskeys so I'll probably do a community post review instead of a video 😆 don't need to embarrass myself 🤣.
Thanks again!
@@WhiskeyBank my man! Don’t sell yourself short. you could do Japanese whiskey tasting no problem. No need to be familiar with it. In my opinion. Just taste and let the viewpoint be shared in your style.
@@TheReal_DeanD thanks for the encouragement 🙏. I'll see what I can do 😆
Great reviews as always,I was really disappointed at Larceny Barrel Proof,in fairness I opened up a 1792 Full Proof the same week and my opinion no comparison the 1792 killed it,as for maple finish why ? Maybe im uninformed but if I can get 12 year old Canadian whiskies for under 30 what's the sense, like you I can live without the sweet than again I don't care for pancakes either.🥃
Hey Frank! Both 1792 full proof and larceny barrel proof are good pours. Which batch of larceny did you have? Regarding maple finishes, most are overdone and all I get is the maple or amburana. The sweetness overwhelms the other flavors and I like getting a balanced palate of sweet, spice, and fruit. Maybe I'll find a good one someday 😆.
So fantastic of you to view and comment so soon after posting 🙏. Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~
@@WhiskeyBank A124 is the batch and I wasn't the only one not crazy about it, what I haven't found is the Elijah Craig Barrel Proof I've heard a lot of good things and my Stagg evaporated somehow leaving a tear in my eye as the last drop disappeared.🥃
@@frankd.506 interesting on the A124. Haven't had it yet personally. Will need to find a pour.
Stagg does that to you, it's here and and then gone so fast 🥲.
I wish I could find a OFSBBS Rye
Hey Darrell! I wanted to get it but with the two Michters I got.... I thought it would be too selfish of me to get the OF as well. Hopefully the good karma will help me get some great bottles in May 😆.
So nice of you to always view and comment so soon after posting 🙏 have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~
Wow... cant even sniff those prices in NY. Ive seen the cellar aged at an auction. Whats a fair price to pay for that bottle?
Hey Michael! I haven't opened the bottle yet, but I had some samples and I have to say anything below $250 would be a good buy. I understand that is a high price, but I believe MSRP is like $170 so with it being a limited release, that seems like a fair price. Honestly though, I haven't seen it for less than $350 at any liquor store. I hope you find the bottle you want!
Hope you had a great Mother's day weekend and cheers~
@WhiskeyBank First time in your channel but found it very interesting... Following for more content!
@@sparkangelo Thanks a million!
Agree with Redwood Empire.. its all MGP and EXPENSIVE.. PASS ALL DAY.. its on the VA ABC store shelves all day, and nobody is taking them.. 90-100$$ nope..
I had thought Redwood was all MGP but recently I heard it's a blend of four states. Anyone know the truth?
Buffalo Experimental is definitely a pass. Seems like a gimmick.
I agree with that! Wish it was closer to $50 but at $200+, it was an easy pass 😆.
Hope you stay cool this weekend and cheers~
와 맛있는거 많이 사셨네요
너무 행복합니다 😉😍
These prices close to $100 or higher are just a waste of money, folks are paying them so it won't get any better any time soon. Michigan prices are getting ridiculous 🫣
Hey Thomas! Yes, the market is getting out of hand, but it seems people are now just "accepting" the prices will stay high and adjusting to them. Not sure what is going to happen this year, but I do see a lot of "discounts" and "sales" of whiskeys that we didn't see in 2023 so maybe there is hope 😆.
Thank you so much for your view and comment! Super appreciate it and cheers~
