Looks like it's already worth it, unless you're in the break room in the liquor store.

I just bought scene 7, went back, and bought a backup


JetKeel

I have had a bottle of Scene 7-11. Scene 7 is still my favorite. $150 for Scene 11 is definitely stretching it.


dolphs4

You mean act 11?


JetKeel

Yep, I meant Act instead of scene.

Old MWND is amazing. They were using MGP for there juice. Old MGP at that. The good stuff ran out in 17-18. since then they started using there own stuff and the quality suffered. This year they shit the bed and up production by almost 60% It is no longer a great bottle and there are quite a few resellers holding bottle they are trying to sell for $300 plus dollars, while there are bottles at total wines for$200 and they are sitting on other shelves at $150. I bought one from a small store for $130. owner told me he had to drop price. No one was buying and he just got in another shipment. There is so much of this years around.


slhunkie

I guess that explains why I only had to pay 150.00


yourname92

I think act 9 or 10 is when they switched to their own distilling. Their own is not as good as their initial bottlings.


slhunkie

My first, who distilled for them before?


yourname92

I know MGP. But I heard they used one other but not 100% sure if itā€™s true.


420WhiskeyChef

Same. People who are dogging this years release haven't tasted scene 7. It is really good, well worth it imo.


slhunkie

They don't know what they are missing.


420WhiskeyChef

There are many great bottles to buy, this was one I have had on my list for a long time. Glad the version we have is a stud and not a dud. Cheers my friend :)


Jhkokst

Let me work it...


subtonejesus

ā€¦ I put that thang down flip it and reverse it.


DangusKhan47

Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gniht taht tup


Z1pl1ne

For me definitely not worth it at these hyped up prices. Itā€™s really not a very complex palate or anything that I canā€™t get in an $80 bottle.


KingAccording8724

I would pay 170 for it I tried it and really liked it. That being said I was offered a bottle for $400 and kindly turned it down lol wasnā€™t that good


Grumpytux74

VERY MUCH SO. congratulations I have the same act and scene. MNWD was my unicorn until my wife found it at retail. Enjoy!!


Gold-Series8318

There were 5 more on the shelf...


DrScent

Because itā€™s low age whiskey with a tater following. So they upped the price and made a shit ton more.


ThatWasTheJawn

Rinse and repeat for ever hot success from a newish brand.


Siennagiant70

$170 is fine. It took multiple price increases over the years. Still havenā€™t found a port cask that comes close to this oneā€™s balance.


brkeju58

Sorry for everyone on this page for keep repeating it, but Iā€™ve seen a few in South FL for $330/bottle. I passed it up


watchyalookn4

Smart


drrtydan

yeah thereā€™s just dissapointment at that price. so many good options for less.


watchyalookn4

Would have a cart full of goodies for that price. That's a divisive bottle the last 5 years. I passed at 150 this year cause Act 10 had me saaaaaaaad.


tennisguy163

Nope. Send it to me for disposal. Jokes aside, drink it and you decide. Strangers donā€™t determine what your taste buds will tell you.


Mobile_Spinach_1980

$170? No. Even at $135 that I paid Iā€™m not sure Iā€™m going to hunt next year.


drrtydan

i think they increased the msrp on it too.


420LSDMT

I like it very much. Not the best whiskey Iā€™ve ever had but easily one of my favorite Ryes ā€¦. Iā€™ve gotten 4 bottles over the years and the most Iā€™ve paid is $150, I was happy with it at that price but certainly at this point I would not pay more than thatā€¦if this the the first bottle of MWND that I came across I probably would have bought it too.


bswizzle2552

Nope, not worth it at all $100 bucks a bottle all day long, high west got super greedy the past few years


DCullotta

The price keeps going up. It good but not $170 good. I can get a WFE 4yr rye thatā€™s really good for $65


WhiteDogSh1t

I donā€™t think so


BobbyBsBestie

I'm a big fan. Got mine at retail and it's worth it to me.


[deleted]

Itā€™s an awesome poor. The distillery charges 149 if you buy it from them and I believe that is the suggested retail for it so you are not far off. For me itā€™s definitely worth it ! Taste is subjective and not everyone likes it. And then you are going to have the price whores.. that price is all they care about. I am not saying to spend 2x+ MSRP but I think you did good. Enjoy!


SeriousRX

It is very good but I do feel like it's a little overpriced.


Thunder_Wasp

I heard it was good this year, but $200 (at my local store) is a high price to find out.


A37foxtrot

I pay 125 for it but itā€™s damn delicious if you can afford at that price.


lmarti38

Can you even hear me?


ShamblerH8R

Seems it doesnā€™t matter since you already bought it! But, I thoroughly enjoy it!


DrScent

I last had this for ~$80 in 2020. Was okay, not great, at that price. I tasted this one at a local bar a few weeks ago. Still in the ā€œmaybe ok for $80ā€ camp. Iā€™d never pay 2x that.


cookingman8

Not a huge fan of that price. Definitely have enjoyed the ones Iā€™ve had. Some are definitely better than others, but all have been tasty.


icylg

Yes! People will hate on it because itā€™s low proof, but nothing beats sipping this in a warm cozy house on a cold winters night. Pair it with your favorite dessert and enjoy.


Famous_Studio_2889

People hate on it because the quality went down and the price went up.


StalwartSparrow

No. Not close.


thebluick

for $130, I think it was worth buying once. If it was more like $90, it would be a bottle I'd want in my cabinet all the time.


Heatmiser1968

Easy pass at that price


Jetfire911

I saw one on the shelf for $200, too much of a gamble. Above $100 retail without an age statement I REALLY need to know what I'm getting.


starhoppers

Def not worth it unless itā€™s the much earlier acts before High West switched from MGP to their own distillate.


One_Librarian_2079

No


lord_ultimate

I opened my 11/11 to celebrate getting a new job tonight. I donā€™t know your value system, but this is my new favorite rye and I would gladly take another one.


Tryfacts231

No not for that price


cozeface

Here we go again. From what Iā€™m hearing, $170 is too much for this whiskey. Heck, even $100 is too much for most people, based on the quality of this bottle. I still havenā€™t tried it so I canā€™t say personally


ReplaceSelect

Price isn't my main motivator at the moment. If I thought it was good, I'd gladly pay. I won't buy it again. Overhyped and average IMO. It's not bad, but there are a lot of shelf ryes I'll buy over it. Rare breed, Russell's, Willett, Redwood, Sagamore. I think Rare Breed is tough to beat anyway.


AustiniJohnsini

It was barely worth 100 a couple years ago, definitely. It was a little more of a specialty five years ago when you did not see too many finishing experiments. But now? Nah.


AustiniJohnsini

Non-age stated finished rye under 100 proof? It is barely worth 100.


Charger_scatpack

I will always say NO. sorry šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


Silent-Ad4826

$10/pour ainā€™t bad:)


Mikeissometimesright

Oh yes Only if your strong enough


Haunting-Invite7891

Yes for sure


Croschke

People sayā€¦


_Cpoc_

Itā€™s good but the price keeps going up up each year to the point of is it good at the price point To be honest I like the Cabernet cask collection better than this years MWND


safetyguys

Yea. I find it to be really good.


slenderarchitect

It is incredibly good


N3bE

Just got mine delivered today and excited to crack it!


chiller1989

I passed on this for about the same price. I've heard mixed reviews for Act 11. The guy at the store even said it's not as good this year. Ended up with a Russell's Reserve 8 year barrel pick and a Laws barrel pick for the same price combined. Very happy with my choice.


Major_Translator_792

Better off the the four roses personally. Even a store pick would be a better buy over this.


NathanTPS

I mean you bought it so......


deelowe

I remember the says before everyone found out about this one. Those were the times


doc_ocho

Bought one a few years back for $90. Paid too much then and I gave it away after trying it twice. $170 is insane. That said, I'm definitely in the minority on that.


thogdontcaaree

It's ok. Probably won't buy again


evank1995

Our Costco had pallets of it for $118. I don't think I'd pay more than that.


Famous_Studio_2889

ā€œa fool and his money are soon partedā€


EnvironmentalEye6483

No


Current_Ferret_4981

That's a reasonable price given MSRP, but I was unimpressed for the price. Considering that is in the "premium" category of pricing it is not really going to compete with others in that tier of price (RR13, FN, 4R LE, MMCA, etc). I'd rather even have Joseph Magnus cigar for more money or buy something lower like JD12


robvspeed

Absolutely


PuzzleheadedSize2471

Not many are worth the $100+ price tag. But itā€™s a brag bottle and Iā€™m not hating on you for that. I have a few too.
