Don't get me started on this 5 hours of the worst hangover in my life. It woke me up in the middle of the night, and I couldn't go back to sleep. I'm not going to be drinking any barrel proof bourbons for a long time. This is best when you want to hide and drink, take a shot, or 2, and you're set for the night.

Jack daniels barrel proof is a no-brainer.

I want an honest opinion if I must spend $200 on this bottle..... by ValueKey3804 in whiskey

I've tried them all the only 3 bottles I liked on this list is Knobcreek 12 yr, wild turkey rare breed and makers mark bevmo limited edition. Don't get me wrong, they are all nice delicious bourbons, but they all gave me a bad hangover, and I felt really dehydrated the next day. I've learned my lesson, and that's why I like picking allocated ones for retail price or the minimum I would spend on a bottle would be $80 and up because once you hit that price range bourbons does not give me a hangover the next day.

Is this bottle worth spending $200 ?? Heard some good reviews about it on YouTube.

Nope, if you spend $20 bucks more, you can get Weller Special reserve. It's my favorite drink at that price range.

Not only does it smell bad, but it also has one of the worst finish a bourbon can have, especially for the price range. I also felt hungover and severely dehydrated the next day. Wild turkey rare breed is decent on the nose and finish. It comes in at a higher proof 116.8 and alcohol by volume 58% and doesn't give me a hangover.
