    I paid a hundy, but I live in a smallish town. I think we have 7 liquor stores total.

    Not sure what it says about me that I know that.  I heard it from the owner of the one I frequent.

    Some of the best. I can’t remember what I paid for the last couple bottles I bought, but it was less than a hundo. It’s high end. 65-85 maybe. I’m bad. I don’t price shop, sorry. Not many bottles of bourbon top 75 bucks. Scotch is another story.

    They just dropped a bottle at a local bar. Guess I need a sample

    It's always been $72 or so here. I think the private barrel selects were a little higher. Hard to find for sure

    Agreed. I buy it when I see it. Regardless of my stock level.

    FTFY. Liquor is pricey in the Belt.

    Depends on which deacon you buy it from.

    That's one of the top-shelf bourbons that you can find more than half the time in the local stores.  Get it for around $60 /bottle tax included. 
    Edit: Clearly the forum educational side bar is working with brown water.  I believe it was single barrel bottled before that became the latest thing.

    Had a neat shot that I sipped. It was good. But I can’t say I would drop 12 on it again.

    Was expecting the price to be much higher since liquor sales are controlled by the Virginia ABC mafia:
    Must be a decent price tho since none of my local stores have any in stock - would have to drive 87 miles to the closest store with any.

    Ballsy move to buy w/o any prior knowledge/recommendations especially at that price point.  Just an opinion...

    Hard to find in the ATL, but goes for around $65 when they have it, my boss loves it, couldn't find any around Christmas last year, may get lucky this year and find on to give him.

    Buying a taste at $12 is a small investment compared to buying a bottle. I like Bourbon but I’m far from a purist and like most drinks with Coke. Yes, I know, idiot move, but I’m normally a simple rum an Coke guy.

    Somehow with the pic of that bottle in your hand I thought you had picked up one.  So much for my thoughts.  I'm not one to comment on how someone enjoys their life-if it works for you then have at it.

    It's good stuff.


    I had some 25 year old port cask finish glen moray scotch last weekend. My brother has it. Was legit.

     I thought you had a bottle to enjoy as well. I wouldn't spend the $12/shot either. Beer or Jameson are my safe bets.

    Ironically, IIRC I was sharing a bottle of the same at the Salado after-party where you were eyeballs deep in jello shots :smiley:

    I agree. And pleasures and prices are all relevant. I like to get my drink on but I can’t justify high dollar bottles but I’m game to try a shot to test the waters of the rich and famous.
    Might have been better on the rocks. I just don’t know. The bar owner was just raving about scoring this bottle. I had the first hit. Was a cool looking bottle. I know there are some bourbon experts here that would chime in. All good.
    Thank you,

    My best man got me a bottle and gave it to me at the wedding . He and the other groomsmen broke it open while my wife and I were taking some pics before the reception.  I ended up getting about a swallows worth that’s it .
