Product Review

Product focus & key takeaways

The video is mainly a discount/price-watch haul from a Korean supermarket (“Traders”), highlighting several whiskies while repeatedly emphasizing that Evan Williams 12 Year / Evan Williams lineup and other “single whisky” options are seeing notable price drops.

Evan Williams 12 Year (main item repeatedly discussed)

What it is / availability

  • Described as a whisky produced by Heaven(?) Minerals and named after Evan Williams (founder of an early enterprise in Cambridge, USA).
  • Reported as released exclusively in Japan for the past 10 years.

Key pricing history (as stated)

  • Two years ago: 229,400 won
  • January this year: newly stocked with 50.5% ABV, priced at 99,800 won
  • This visit: displayed at 79,800 won
    • Mentioned as a 20,000 won discount
    • Discount window: July 13–July 26
  • Current selling price given: 79,800 won

The video claims this is:

  • 149,600 won lower than 229,400 won two years ago
  • Approximately a ~65% drop rate

Pros (implied/expressed)

  • Strong value due to a large long-term price drop
  • Recently restocked with 50.5% ABV (higher strength noted)

Cons / cautions

  • No explicit taste criticism is given in the subtitles—the focus is almost entirely price/value.

Comparisons within the Evan Williams lineup (value alternatives)

The video compares other entry-level Evan Williams bottles:

  • Evan Williams Black (1L): 29,980 won
    • Down from 33,980 won
  • Evan Williams Otrinbond (1L): 39,980 won
  • BIB products: mentioned as sometimes discounted to as low as 29,980 won during holiday/seasonal events
    • Conclusion: buy during those sale periods for best value.

Other discounted whiskies mentioned (context/value hunt)

These aren’t “the” product under review, but they shape the shopping experience and the seller’s deal landscape.

Bunny Skin / Wild Turkey / Campari Group mention

  • Bunny Skin Wild Turkey Rarebreed

    • Previously: 83,800 won (new stock, June two years ago)
    • Lowered to 79,800 won in Sept that year
    • This visit: 69,800 won
      • Discount: 10,000 won
      • Discount window: July 6–July 19
    • Discount condition: requires Samsung Card payment to get the discount.

  • Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit Single Barrel (Campari Group): 69,400 won

    • Down from 75,800 won

  • Russell Reserve Single Barrel: 89,400 won

    • Subtitle suggests it was “down from 99,800 won,” but also includes “down 10 won,” making the exact direction/number inconsistent.

Burnisky / Old Taylor

  • Newly introduced: Burniskey (Old Taylor 1.75L)
    • Produced at Buffalo Trace
    • Aged over 5 years, 40% ABV
    • Newly stocked at 49,980 won
    • Conversion note: for a standard 750ml comparison, it’s calculated as 21,420 won
  • Takeaway: framed as very cost-attractively priced if you like this style.

Single whiskies highlighted: Glamburg/Glamburgie, Royal Salute

Glamburgie 16 Year Small Batch (Limited Edition)

  • Focus: cask strength, not diluted.
  • Edition No. 1
    • 179,800 won (stocked last December)
    • 59.8% ABV
    • Blend from 40 casks
  • Edition No. 2
    • 56.1% ABV
    • Blend from 72 casks
    • Sold at 169,800 won (then shown as reduced)
  • This visit: displayed at 149,400 won
    • 20,000 won below 169,800 won

Condition cue:

  • Mentioned black dry moisture on/near the price tag, suggesting the bottle may be in a refurb/handling stage (not a clear quality verdict, but a visual warning).

Royal Salute 21 Year Grain

  • Previously:
    • 249,800 won (stocked May two years ago)
  • During Chuseok:
    • Reduced by 40,000 won to 209,800 won
  • Later drops continued to:
    • 179,800 won

Current comparison:

  • 179,800 won vs initial 249,800 won
  • Roughly ~28% decrease

No taste claims—again mostly pricing history.

Islay-related mentions: “peat reduction” and peated profile

  • Bunhabeen 12 Years and Laphroaig 10 Years

    • Common point: made on Aella Island (subtitles say “Aella Island in Sportland”).

  • Munhwa Ben 12 Year Old

    • Positioned as special Islay by reducing peat (biggest Islay characteristic).

  • Laphroaig 10 Year Old

    • Called a representative heavily peated Islay whisky (with style comparisons to Lagavulin/Ardbeg).

Moonnaben 12 Year

  • Described as blended from cask and Oloroso Sherry casks.
  • Price history:
    • Previously 99,000 won (early last year)
    • Newly stocked Oct last year at 79,800 won
    • Sold out in Jan
    • Restocked this visit at 79,800 won

Laphroaig 10 Years price note

  • Newly stocked Nov: 69,800 won
  • Sold out in Feb
  • Restocked at 6,800 won down from 7,000 won
    • Subtitle math is unclear, but it states “reduced slightly.”

Extra pricing logic (unit conversions)

  • Mentions a 750ml bottle and compares it to a 700ml typical single bottle.
  • Calculated unit price: 58,610 won—framed as “very attractive.”

Macallan & Glen Goin

Macallan 12 Year Double Cask

  • Maintained 99,800 won for about 2 years
  • Last month: dropped 5,000 won to 94,800 won
  • This visit: raised back to 99,800 won
  • Yet also states:
    • Currently sold for 89,800 won from July 6–July 19

Timing/price inconsistencies appear in subtitles, but overall message: periodic discounts bring it down.

Glen Goin Glango CS Batch 11

  • Last month: 149,800 won
  • This time: 129,400 won
    • Subtitle says “down 2,400 won,” but the difference is larger—subtitles may be inaccurate.
  • Visual cue: “black diamond” on price tag → implied clearance stage.

Balvenie lineup (bottle-to-bottle variability)

Balvenie 12 Year Single Barrel

  • Still on display.
  • Aged 12 years in a single first-fill cask
  • Has cask number + bottle number on the label
  • Key point: because it’s single barrel (vs typical 12-year Double), flavor may vary subtly bottle to bottle
  • Price history:
    • First stocked Dec last year: 129,800 won (sold out quickly)
    • Restocked last month: 119,800 won (down 10,000 won)—framed as worthwhile for Balvenie fans

Balvenie 12-Year “The Brood”

  • Kept lowest price ever at 96,800 won

Balvenie 14-Year Caribbean Cask

  • Unchanged at 139,800 won

Main user experience themes (how the “shopping” experience is portrayed)

The narrator checks the store and looks for:

  • Large price drops
  • Limited-time discount windows
  • Restocks after selling out

  • Value-by-unit conversions (e.g., 750ml vs 700ml, and conversion for 1.75L)

  • Practical purchase conditions called out:

    • Example: Samsung Card required for at least one discounted Wild Turkey/Bunny Skin deal

Pros / Cons (based strictly on what the subtitles state)

Pros

  • Strong emphasis on value: Evan Williams 12 Year shows major price reduction (~65%) over two years
  • Multiple options across brands are on discount, increasing chances of finding a deal
  • Some bottles highlighted as cask strength / undiluted (Glamburgie 16-year edition)
  • Conversions used to frame some bottles as especially cost-effective (e.g., Old Taylor 1.75L)

Cons / cautions

  • Some discounts have payment requirements (Samsung Card)
  • Subtitle inconsistencies in numeric differences (possible auto-caption errors)
  • Visual caution: black dry moisture attached to the price tag for Glamburgie (not explicitly stated as a defect, but flagged)
