T47 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I went to the liquor store today to pick up some JB Black since I have never tried it, and to get my father-in-law a bottle of Aberlour Abunadh. The store had some nice bottles that tempted me. They had some Black Maple Hill 14 ($68.20), Rock Hill Farms ($45.85), Hancocks Reserve ($50.05) AH Hirsch 16 ($114.00), and a nice supply of ETL which I always enjoy. I was tempted by the Rock Hill and the Hancocks. I am almost through my Rock Hill Farms, and have never tried the Hancocks. The Black Maple Hill and Hirsch are just more than I wanted to spend. So what did I walk away with...Bernheim Original! I have only seen it once before here in WA. so it caught my eye. Something different I guess, and at $42 even if it's not great, it was not a costly mistake. I did get the JB Black and Aberlour as well, but I wanted to give this a try.:toast: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburlowski Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 If it were up to me, I'd take the RHF over the Hancock any day... particularly at the price quoted for the Hancock ---- seems rather high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T47 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 If it were up to me, I'd take the RHF over the Hancock any day... particularly at the price quoted for the Hancock ---- seems rather high.I have a bottle of the RHF and I have enjoyed it. Hancock's is one that is not always on the shelf...but at $50 it runs into stiff competition with Bookers, one of my favorites. PVW 15 is also around $50 but I have not seen it on the shelf here in some time.I do enjoy trying new bottles, and I am sure I will end up with the Hancocks eventually, maybe even a bottle of the Black Maple Hill. The Hirsch is just a little excessive for me price wise. I will have to see if our big Bourbon bar in Seattle carries it and give it a try there. There are still a few bottles (ORVW 10, Old Charter 12, Henry Mckenna SB) I want to try that are in the $20-$30 price range, and since I have not really disliked any bottles I have had so far, its hard to pay the big bucks (at least by my standards thats anything over $50) for one single bottle. I am just getting into my overtime season at work, so who knows what will turn up on the shelf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wait for the ABC to put it on sale and usually pick it up for $29. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I used to be able to get the Rittenhouse for $14, then it went up and up. The last bottle was purchased in D.C. where prices are somewhat higher on some items.

mgilbertva Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I'd love to read what you think about the Drum. I kept looking at it over at Binny's but decided against buying it. Maybe you'll change my mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you'll change my mind?I asked Brett for a recommendation once when I was looking for something different, and he suggested the 15yo Drum. I found something I actually had wanted for a while, and purchased that instead. I would imagine if it is a product that Brett recommends, it would be pretty good. I have never gone wrong with anything he has suggested before.Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
