ROUND 2 - STOP Overpaying For Buffalo Trace (and everything else) - HIGH PROOF Blind Edition!

(In Case The 100 Proof Episode Didn't Convince You... Let's Test The High Proofers)

We've ALL done it!!

Hunt the elusive unicorn bottles that you hear so much about but NEVER see on the store's shelves!

It's kind of exciting...The Hunt! To finally secure one of these unicorns, whether by luck, relationship building, raffle, camping out overnight, or just going the lazy (and expensive) route and buying the bottle on secondary.

No matter how you get it, you're SO proud that you show it off to all of your friends... "THIS is the BEST bottle EVER!!" you tell your friends!
"How do you know?" ask your curious friends.
"Because you NEVER see them on the shelf! They're so good that they're sought after more than ANY other bottles. People would NEVER spend so much time AND money on these unicorns unless they were the BEST THING EVER... RIGHT?!?

WRONG!!!!!!!!!

I have NO IDEA why Buffalo Trace products get the CRAZIEST attention, FOMO and price hikes, but they sure as heck do! I'm GUESSING it all ties back to the Pappy and then just trickles down; but that's just my Dumb thought. But they're not the only bottles that get people chase and pay over for.

Either way, it's INSANE, and in the end, creates a FALSE narrative that these hard-to-find bottles are superior to the bottles you see on the shelf every time you're in the store.

Don't believe me?!? Check out this episode where I blind Stagg Jr. Batch 15, Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof, Elijah Craig Single Barrel Store Pick and Holladay Rickhouse Proof (1 You Can't Get and Three That You Can).

How do you think it'll turn out???
