Unless you have unlimited deep pockets, the answer is no. Sometime, you pay much more for no increase or a drop in quality.<br /><br />kaiserhoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18214148630816519490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2165862643713953426.post-18348732786176993102015-11-11T12:59:09.574-05:002015-11-11T12:59:09.574-05:00Preferences and ratings are always subjective, so ...Preferences and ratings are always subjective, so that's why I referred to value as being "more subjective." Unlike value, however, taste and quality are partly objective; preferences come in around the edges. Value is still important to me, and that's why I'm going to continue to comment on it, just outside of my rating. I encourage everyone to make their own decisions based on their own preferences. Cheers, and thanks for commenting!Sipp'n Corn®https://www.blogger.com/profile/09589432769591752854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2165862643713953426.post-24990915109648298892015-11-11T12:52:09.599-05:002015-11-11T12:52:09.599-05:00Yes, grab OHH BIB if you ever see it.

I used the extreme example of OHH BIB and PVW20 (with such a dramatic price difference of $10 versus the insane secondary market price) to try to illustrate that value is personal. I agree with you on Four Roses and Wild Turkey 101; I think those are great values too, and they'll continue to score high just on their merits.Sipp'n Corn®https://www.blogger.com/profile/09589432769591752854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2165862643713953426.post-44301723511158068762015-11-11T11:30:08.163-05:002015-11-11T11:30:08.163-05:00You say that..."To top it off, my use of a va...You say that..."To top it off, my use of a value component is more subjective than my palate, so I’ve decided to remove it from the rating."<br /><br />Obviously it's up to you whether you should or should not include "value" in your equation, I'd completely disagree with the statement above. Your tasting notes are definitely just as subjective based on your experiences, setting and physical attributes. Your palate is no more true than your value propositions. Certainly what I think is a good value, based on my financial standing, biases, and experiences can be just as subjective as you thinking an overly extracted oaked mess is a great whisky. A reader should learn to discern whether a reviewers palate, biases, and pricing considerations align with their own before making a decision whether they can "trust" the source to be useful. <br /><br />I think it's useful for reviewers to note whether they think something provides value. Part of the product is it's cost, and what you get for the outlay. Particularly in the current pricing environment, I think it becomes even more pertinent to note whether you find value in the whisky you're reviewing - and why or why not. It's both sides of the coin that check reviews out; purchaser and provider. Why not take the opportunity to inform the provider as well. <br /><br />Anyway thanks for continuing to provide a decent source of info.

OHH is an exceptionally better value than PVW20. But when I'm trying to treat my guests well (or I'm just curious if the good stuff tastes as good as I remember) then I reached for the bottles hidden away.

These two have both superb quality and are excellent values.<br />-DanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
