BigSkyDrams Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Was offered a chance to purchase for $150. Reading up on it briefly there seems to be a complete dearth of information like component origin, age, mashbill, etc. Plus, that would be the most I’ve ever spent on a bottle of whiskey. So fairly easy pass for me. However, I know their one-off bourbons were pretty well received, and I guess I just have a general FOMO, so I thought I’d put it out to your respected opinions before declining. Anyone have any info or opinions that might change my mind? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusterChestnut Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Their batch 1 rye is still around and I thought it was great. If you’re going to drop coin on KO, that’s be the bottle I’d seek out. Not too many +100pf +10yr KSRW’s out there for anything less than a mortgage payment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I saw another reasonably priced I’d probably pick it up as backup. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMartin42 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 There is a thread here somewhere about it but I’m on my phone and have trouble searching on it. General consensus was a big pass. My buddy did buy a bottle and our personal thoughts were run away. Run away far, run away fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops, I did run a search and didn’t find anything immediately so figured I was in the clear. Thanks for the input. At $150, running away is not too difficult. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0895 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 It’s not that it’s bad, it’s just not that it’s good either... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarthQuake Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 The general consensus seems to be that it's a good buy... at $50. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako254 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Haven’t had it but talking to people who have (and I trust their palates) Dixon did a nice job blending a balanced bourbon BUT it ain’t $150. Very few bottles (for me) are worthy of $100 plus. I won’t pay it for Russsell’s picks (even the sexy ones) and I won’t pay it for Four Roses picks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried and enjoyed Confiscated and I think it would fair better then people think in a blind tasting. However, this is a situation where I steadfastly refuse to purchase any of these releases as I am not a fan of the KO business model of artificially driving up prices. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shizzy Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I'm on my third bottle, but I throw my disposable cash around at bourbon with reckless abandon. That said, JB Distiller's Cut at my Total Wine for $17.50 is every bit as good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Cheapest I've seen it is $120. I've also seen it as high as $180 or so. Its a hard pass for me at pretty much any price. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
