This dropped near me last month for $299 a bottle. They sold out after a week. Not many bottles worthy of that price. Only $500 bottle I would buy again has been the Redbreast 27
As another channel put it, Willett is charging $30 a year. Borderline offensive, but people continue to pay. I guess you can’t blame them if the market is bearing this price.
Let's face it. Very few of these bottle will ever see a shelf. When owners get them they know who they calling and they are buying it. I got one and I'm glad I was able to get it, would I buy a back up.....probably not. But most people who say hard pass, or no way probably don't get those phone calls
Can’t blame Willett for charging $250. They know the secondary market. But in a blind this will probably lose to many sub $100 bottles.
Drinks special for sure, but totally agree, this is a $125-$150 bottle. I where near the $260 for this…but as you said…this is Willett.
My local store has these for $189…..debating on picking one up.
This is one of willets best in my view
Great review it is a solid pour

Great video again, gentlemen.....Cheers!
Thanks bud!
I passed this bottle 2-3 months back I’m glad I did but sad I did. Hahahaha
250 for a 8 year is nuts.
Ridiculous

I agree with it. If this bottle was around 80-100 bucks it would be a lot better.
Found their 4 year rye in Delaware for 49.99 (no tax). I grabbed it. I wouldn’t pay any more than that.
Would you pay 250 for Thomas H Handy?
How would this stand up to Weller 107?
I think it is different but a good comparison.
Don't buy Willett Pot Still for $50, buy this 8yr version with an extra 7% abv for $250 lol.
Yeah regardless of the 7% just night and day difference on quality of juice lol.
@@bourbonkingdom No doubt it's much better, but I still shudder at it being 5x the price.
It's 8 year old Willett Pot Still. Prove me wrong.
So this is fighting with little book chap 6 for worst value for the year haha
It’s overpriced and every single person knows it. The comp is OWA 107 and you can buy 3 for 1.
Willett is some kind of cult

Being someone who has yet to find a bottle he would spend 200 on, its an obvious pass from me.
