So um, Bourbon thread? Yeah, Bourbon Thread.

I think G2G is one of the most overpriced, gimmicky bottles on the shelf.

The one I tried was really good. I don’t recall which one it was but I can’t say it is over priced and gimmicky when it was better than all the over hyped buffalo trace products.

What do you guys typically find Eagle Rare priced at where you’re at? I saw one yesterday and went to grab it but saw it was $90. That seems way higher than I’ve seen before.

A gas station chain in Omaha always has it for $100, crazy that it’s always available. Other than the bottles I recently got for $48, I haven’t seen one in months if not years.

Mega Saver?

I regularly see it in cases around here for around $100

I’ve never had it but did seem like a ton of hype when it came out. Probably new normal of normal stuff getting released in fancy bottles that say limited

Mega Saver?

Yup. Cheapest nicotine pouches that I’ve seen. Not buying any bourbon from there ever.

I didn’t even see the BT when I took the pic, good price on that at least.

I’ve thought all 3 were average to pretty good and I’m also not a big BT guy. I do really enjoy a lot of HH products, though.
Overpriced IMO because of the ages, which I believe they are 6-7 years old and retail is $100-115.
I say gimmicky because there isn’t much differentiation with the product. It’s basically just a claim that they used superior grains.

I hear you. I stopped putting weight into aging after I had peerless. Their 2 year ryes coming out in their first couple years were phenomenal. Starting off at $100 a bottle seemed insane until I tried it. Conversely, the original Orphan Barrels were all old yet half the flavor as peerless.

Damn, maybe it just keeps going up then. I was expecting $60ish so was pretty shocked when I saw the $90 sticker

There has been a BT explosion here. Prices vary EHT has been about $55-60, ER $45-55, BT has been on shelves sitting for over a year, typically between $25-35.
Some stores are still not caught up with the market and are way overpriced. Their bottles are getting dusty

Yea, when I say age, I am mostly referring to the depth of the juice.
And I agree 100% on Peerless! I love them, and pay their prices because what’s in the bottle is dang good!
I haven’t had any Orphan Barrel because the prices are just wild most of the time, but they have been really falling off a cliff lately.
