Description

📗 Save $2,000 A Year On Whiskey With My Distiller Methods: https://wadecooperdistiller.com You are standing on your brother-in-law's porch with a bottle of Woodford Reserve in a paper gift bag. 41 dollars and 99 cents. You did not overpay because you do not know bourbon. You paid for being sure. I spent 34 years on the making side of labels like that one, and a lot of those years I filled barrels that went out under names that were not mine. In this video I count down seven bottles under 30 dollars that I would put up against the bottle in your bag, from a square bottle built as a copy to a name that lost a fight in court. One of the seven sits right beside a bottle with the exact same name, and only one of the two is bourbon. And the one at number one is closer to the bottle in your bag than anybody at that party would believe. Price is not recipe. Price is name. Most of these prices come off the Pennsylvania state store list, so you can check them yourself. Nobody paid me to make this. Your homework: buy the Old Forester 100, borrow a Woodford, pour an inch of each side by side, put a teaspoon of water in the Old Forester, and do not read either label for the first five minutes. Then tell me in the comments what town you are in and what Old Forester 100 costs at your store this week.
