It’s really good but also over rated

It is good at $60 but I’m not trying to hunt down a bottle at $100

The least of my favorites among the “highly sought after” bourbons.
It should be a $30 bourbon, not $60+.

Why not open it? Open it, two fingers, one cube of ice, let sit for 3 mins, enjoy.

I would buy it regularly when it used to be readily available.
The last few years it’s been hard to find for me.
If I see some I usually get a bottle.

Stared at a bottle on a Supermarket shelf for a few weeks at $55. Already had a bottle at the house so decided to buy it yesterday to give as a Christamas gift.

Over rated AF

Prime example of people buying packaging due to looks and good marketing by product placement in films.

If it was in a normal looking bottle it would be a $30 bottle of booze.

Not bad at all but damn sure not worth the hype.

It’s made by buffalo trace so just buy a bottle of BT for half the cost, you can barely taste a difference and they’re both excellent whiskey

They are both what started out as 8 year Old Charter, Sazerac simply redid the packaging and upped the price.

Bet it is a bottle with an 8 on it but it is un-aged whiskey, they were sued for selling it the US.

ALL the aged supply was retained by Sazerac for rebranding

My favorite Bourbon that exists including stuff that costs way more.
