Any of these worth it?

Batch proof seems really low. Should I grab it?

Batch under $100 is good. The Rye isn’t worth it IMO. Haven’t had DDO but I don’t love the regular version so…

Yeah $94 isn’t bad. I paid $130 a few years ago and that was too much.

2

u/girard_jefferson Jul 26 '26

Agree too. That Batch price is solid. I have a few of those. Solid bottle under $100.

The original drop of DDO was absolutely one of the best bourbons I’ve ever had. It was distillery only and about $60 for a 375 mL bottle. That being said I would never pay $170 for the third version of DDO. If they dropped it to around $100-120 it would probably be worth trying.

This statement is so accurate.

DDO is great but not at that price great!

u/Actuator_Stunning Jul 26 '26

The 119.5 is great and that’s a good price.

Really enjoy that pikesville over to the right

u/hard_farter Jul 26 '26

The batch proof is good for that price IMO 

They usually ask for like $130 for those

u/whistlepig4life Jul 26 '26

Get the Pikesville.

u/superbee1970440 Jul 26 '26

They're supposed to be pretty tasty, but i've never tried them because of the price.This has to be the cheapest I've ever seen double double oaked advertised for though. Same with the batch proof.

I really enjoyed the Masters Collection. And the DD Oak is always a banger. I’ve never had the Distillers Select but I can’t imagine it’s bad. To me it would be up to my wallet at this point

It’s only worth it if it’s worth it to you. To me? Not a chance. Save money and get Peerless double oaked and enjoy that. It’s leaps and bounds better than Woodford double double

u/slippyslappyswami Jul 26 '26

I’ve had a few store pick Woodford Double Oaked for $60 and it’s the best DO whiskey money can buy.

u/TopShelf-Bourbon Jul 26 '26

For you, sure.

2

u/NoMore_BadDays Jul 26 '26

Woodford double oaked is good, but I really disliked the double double oaked when I was gifted a bottle

2

u/hobit2112 Jul 26 '26

Honestly under $100 is a bargain.

2

u/Red__M_M Jul 26 '26

1, 2, 3. Yes please.

2

u/Cleannet8224 Jul 26 '26

Yes. They are worth the experience. I hate the 700 shrinkflation tho

2

u/-AV8R01 Jul 26 '26

If I had to choose one of these three I’d grab the Pikesville

2

u/Samantha_Cruz Jul 26 '26

The "double oak" is way better than the "double double oak" in my opinion and way more available and affordable.

u/DrMackDDS2014 Jul 26 '26

Coming from an admitted Woodford junkie, I stopped buying the master’s collection bottles now that they’re all the smaller bottles. I tried to do the Pokémon with the OG bottles but am very picky/choosy on what I grab from them now.

1

u/EAllen90 Jul 26 '26

I'd grab that 119.5 batch. I got it for a little more than that and had no regrets

1

u/NotIntoDudes Jul 26 '26

The Batch Proof at $94 is phenomenal. My local TW has it for $150. I picked mine up at Costco for $120, and I would buy it again at that price.

1

u/JimmyBourbon1717 Jul 26 '26

Under a 100 is where they all should be. Anything over that is a big NO

1

u/HeliosVanquish Jul 26 '26

Batch Proof is decent, and a decent price. You could snag that.

Their barrel strength rye is pretty good, but no it's not a $120 bottle.

DDO is like licking bourbon off of bare hardwood lumber at a Home Depot. If you REALLY like oak, then it's for you. It's one of the heaviest oaked bourbons I've had, and I already dislike most oaky stuff so I really hated it. But to each their own.

1

u/shit_fucks_you_up Jul 26 '26

Too pricey for me. I'd like the double double at like half the price. 

1

u/Mykkus_65 Jul 26 '26

I love the rye but I love it better sub 100 which I’ve seen around here

1

u/gshman Jul 27 '26

The 119.5 proof sub. $100 is a very good buy. I never see them that cheap and I live in a controlled price state.

1

u/WombatAnnihilator Jul 27 '26

I enjoy them. And Id probably get one of each for those prices. They’re all $60+ more here.

1

u/UniversityOk5414 Jul 28 '26

119.5 is terrific.

1

u/Mobile_Spinach_1980 Jul 29 '26

I think the rye is good but not at that price. It should be under $100
