[Notice] Prohibited Goods and Services, and you.
Hey all.
This is a reminder of our Rule 2 - No trading, buying, or selling alcohol. Comments and posts soliciting alcohol sales and trades will be removed. This goes against the content policy, as well as may break laws within your country of residence.
Lately we have seen an increase in people trying to create or participate in a secondary market - this is against the Content Policy and can very well result in not only a ban from /r/whiskey, but also may see you removed from Reddit permanently by Reddit Admins (should you continue to disregard the Content Policy.)
The simple explanation is this:
Due to regulations and laws concerning Alcohol in many different countries, it may be illegal (simply by law, or taxation law) to trade/barter or resell alcohol products. As Reddit engages communities around the world, facilitating any of these transactions could open Reddit up to various legal consequences. Therefore Reddit must take every available avenue to remove and discourage these transactions within the use of their services.
As a subbreddit dealing with the subject of alcohol products, we are under scrutiny with the actions our communities take, and we must fully participate in Reddit attempt to control and remove content that breeches the Content Policy. If at any point it may appear that we are lacking as a community to stem the flow of this content - simply put; our subreddit will be removed from Reddit.
Please do not be under the impression that any action that you use on Reddit is entirely private - posts, comment, messages and chatroom logs are available to the Reddit admins at anytime and they will investigate any and all leads that suggest people are breaking the Content Policy and in some extreme cases, may take action either legal or federal (and by federal, i mean 'call the cops') depending on their obligations as a business.
Please do not engage any posts that attempts to trade/barter or resell whiskey, report them and move on.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
TL:DR - Reddit is not facebook marketplace, you will get banned, you might even get prosecuted.
Edit: I just wanted to add some insight our rule 3. "No requests for dating or valuing an unusual or old bottle of whiskey....", we discourage valuation of whiskey as it has the strong potential to turn into a bidding system, whether public or "private". While we don't suspect every account that seeks valuation to want to participate in a secondary market, the avenue for abuse of these types of posts in regards to our efforts to remove trade/barter or reselling is simple too high to carry the risk of allowing this kind of content within the subbreddit. Since we do not have to tools to monitor "private" messaging or "private chats" of this nature - it would fall to the Admins to investigate these actions and garner an amount of admins attention to our subreddit that we wish to avoid. We're good boys/gals, doing good things... nothing to see here Admins. š¤

Not a bad small town raffle!
Another small town raffle! The JDās were a big surprise, would have been awesome to snag a 12 or 14. I was pick 13 and walked out with a JD10 which I was pretty stoked about.

Whatās the most youāve paid for a drink or bottle that was absolutely worth the price?
We all know the hype doesnāt always match the product. But sometimes it does. Soā¦ bourbon, whiskey, scotch, etc. what did you drink that was absolutely worth the price?
r/whiskey • u/ChannelMuted8102 • 5h ago
Whatās your go to bottle under $50?
Curious what people like thatās a decent price.

Great start to a Saturday. I canāt be the only person who enjoys a bookers and a miller pony.
Really enjoying this bookers.
r/whiskey • u/EvolutionarySkip • 23h ago
Tonight, Iām finally trying a popular sipper for $43.
Iām not a sipper guy; prefer the hotter juice. No offense to the lovers; Iād rather have HHBiB for same $. Certainly another $20-$30 and MANY Iād rather spend on. Enjoy your weekend pours and I will enjoy this one for a couple of days. āļø

Itās not very often that I am thankful to live in Michigan. Yesterday was one of the days I was.
Both of these bottles from Evernorth are incredible. Spirit Walker 4 is a flavor bomb. The variety of finishes create a whiskey like Iāve never had before. Night Stalker 4 has a ton of depth and dark flavors. If you can get your hands on these, do it!

Eagle Rare Pickup
I saw others being able to find this but after looking in several places for a bit, thought I missed out! But there it was, on the shelf, glistening in my eye like a pizza pie!

Helluva Friday
Costco for the HH19, 2 long time contacts for the 14, and the 10/12. Couldnāt wait on trying the 14. Itās really really good, if you can at least find a pour for a reasonable price, definitely grab it.
Nose is Luxardo Cherry, sweet oak, tobacco, a touch of toasted almond. The banana was completely non existent (although I nosed and drank within 5 minutes). Flavors are sweet up front with the oak and cherry, a touch of spiced oak and a good dryness on the back end. Everything meets on the finish, which lasted for a while.
The others will be opened and enjoyed in the coming weeks.

What do I have here?
Grandparents had these from long ago. Are they collectible or rare in anyway?
They are cool regardless so I will keep them but I donāt know if I should drink them or not. They are all sealed.
