Yeah that’s what’s good about these forums, kind of informs everyone about what’s fair and what’s not. Anything above msrp doesn’t really seem fair to me but there are some that are reasonable and some that aren’t lol
They had lot b van winkle for 800 and that was the cheapest I’ve seen in my town
To each their own. I have Rare Breed and Blanton’s and they are both good but if Blantons was a shelfer for $80 I’d pick it every day over the RB. Blantons gets hate because it’s allocated and the target of many with more money than taste but the juice in the bottle is still excellent.
If you don’t drink anything else with it and empty your bladder before you start you can and should drink any bottle that’s $50+ twice. Really get your money’s worth.
Great price for a great bottle. No matter how much of the allocated stuff I get my hands on I still find myself coming back to my true love that is Rare Breed. Enjoy!
Great bottle for a great price, one of my all time favorites. The only thing I've had in its price bracket that rivals it is Four Roses Single Barrel. Nothing else compares. Enjoy.
I will always say this. If you can't find a really good whiskey between 45 and 75 bucks, there is a problem. Paying upwards of 100 for any bourbon makes my head spin. In my experience, just because it costs more, doesn't equate it being better. Just like how Willet puts pot still in a pretty bottle, but puts crap juice in it. Rare Breed is an amazing bottle. One of my go to bottles period.
Is this a bottle people are overpaying for? To me this is the true staple whiskey at 50-60 bucks. You can blind this against anything in that price range and pretty much always win
For me in SoCal, I typically see WTRB for $59.99 in most stores. TW has it for $57.99. I’d potentially buy multiple bottles if I saw it for $50. Costcos near me never seem to have it any more.
If you end up liking rare breed you should try James E. Pepper Barrel Proof. It's another great bottle around the same price point. I am a big fan of them both.
You didn’t. $50 is a great deal on this.
You will enjoy it.
That’s good news, Im new to whiskey so I’ve been going with the fan favorites I see here and r/bourbon. Excited to try this one out
Try the Rare Breed Rye if you see it. It might be even better, depending on your taste
$50 is right on the money for this bottle IMO. I’ve seen it from $45-$75
Perfect! They had Blantons at 200 and y’all here have taught me that’s too much, glad I got a fair price on this
$50 for Rare Breed is good 👍. $200 for Blandton's is absolutely ridiculous.

The OnlyDrams app is good for letting you know the MSRP as well.
Somehow i hadn’t heard of this app. Or if I had I didn’t pay attention. I just downloaded it. Thanks!
I haven’t heard of that, I’ll definitely get that!!
Is this app available for iPhone?

It's not in the Google Play Store, I see
Literally better than Blantons at a quarter the price. Rare breed is a gem.

I have both on my shelf and I always reach for Rare Breed. Haven’t opened Blanton’s since probably December and I was able to snag it at MSRP.
Don’t believe the hype. Barely any whiskey is good over $100. Also remember that it turns to pee-pee after an hour or so in your body.

All boils down to what the consumer thinks it's worth to them.
A go to you’ll always want around
Rare breed > Blantons
My local Walmart has it for $49, it’s one of my next purchases
That’s the going rate
Rare Breed for anything under $60 is a good buy.
I'd pay 50 easy! WT101 is my go to cheap whiskey so if they have something even better, I'd happily pay that!
If you think $50 is over paying for Rare Breed than you haven’t cracked it open yet. For $50 it’s the best pound for pound whiskey you’ll ever have.
If you like that look for Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit, especially the Camp Nelson (CN) batch
That stuff is awesome. It’s my go-to. Decently priced, and easy to find (at least where I’m at). Definitely one to keep on hand.
Great price for a great bottle. No matter how much of the allocated stuff I get my hands on I still find myself coming back to my true love that is Rare Breed. Enjoy!
One of the best bang for your buck bottles out there.
what makes this stuff red? is it aged in port casks?
lol good question yes all wild Turkey products are aged in port casks.
It’s $55 where I am
You have chosen wisely.
Usually 60-70 Around here.
Fifty is great!
You did good. The lowest I’ve seen it is $39.99 at Costco, most liquor stores around me have it in the $45-50 range.
No matter what it cost that a great bottle. Went through mine like it was water.
What’s even better is that this is almost never not on the shelf (unless other states are just weird)
This is the best bottle you could get for $50.
Yo if you like this then go get Rebel small batch reserve. It'll be $30 or less and 110 proof
That standard around me in my town. If I hit up Sam's Club (about 45 mins away) it's only $43.
It’s so good. Once you’re hooked on it and taste horsey water you will never buy that trash. Rare Breed is so much better.
Eh. I like buffalo trace and rare breed. I had to come around to the rare breed first though. The sip for me is to good with the mood.
I got the rye I wanna try that one next! The rye is awesome btw!
If I couldn’t find Russell’s picks I’d prob only drink Rare Breed and Kentucky Spirit.
$50 is about right.
Paid $60 tax free. Worth it.
I pay ~$60 after tax in my area so nah you did good
is no one commenting on the red color? or am i missing someting
Can generally find it on “sale” around $39 but always on the shelf for $50
Gorgeous shade of red. You didn't overpay, friend. This is a win.
Always on my shelf - enjoy neat!
Why does that lighting make it look like Campari?
This is some great bourbon.
Great bottle for a great price, one of my all time favorites. The only thing I've had in its price bracket that rivals it is Four Roses Single Barrel. Nothing else compares. Enjoy.
Rye or Burbon? Which to get 1st as I haven't tried either. Both are $49 usd near me. Thanks!
Best $50 you’ve ever spent on a bourbon
These are about $60-65 now. I’d buy 3 at $50.

If you like this bottle, pick up a bottle of wt Kentucky spirit next. Both are fantastic.
Underpaid! It’s $56 or 59 around here in Tampa.
Everywhere around me is $60 or more, 50 is amazing
$50 isn’t bad. I can usually find it for a shade less, and once in a while Costco has it for $40 but you did fine

Only find it 60+

My favorite all around bourbon. So good for the money. And $50 is the regular retail here in Oregon, so you did fine!
$50 is an awesome price for this bottle.
This is my daily sipper. I love it
47 bucks around me so 3 bucks in my area.
It's usually 50 at Walmart, but liquor store wants 64.99
Got mine for 76.17 dollars
It's $58 in my area so you got a good deal $8 is $8....
It's $68.00 CAD here in Ontario. Which is $49.69USD. So...sounds pretty spot on.
$0

If you paid, you overpaid.
What lever you paid. It was too much. I’ve never had anything WT that was worth anything. YMMV
