Not at all, but I am not surprised that she didn't. Ever live in Louisiana? It's a wonderful place with it's own really interesting culture but the lack of education is pretty apparent across the board. Things that we take for granted as common sense aren't always common sense down there due to lack of exposure, education, or just poverty.

statements like this.... and worse, the logic behind them.... are exactly why I only come to CR for the one thread about whiskey.

Somebody mentioned her being a teacher, but She's a Teacher in Louisiana, the second worst school system in the country (Mississippi next door is the worst).

What point are you making by stating this? That it's okay that she didn't know better?

I second OWA and MM Cask strength (batch 20-01 is great).

Would also toss Larceny in there.

My sister in-law bought me a small aging barrel for Christmas that I wanted to use with Weller Antique to make poor mans pappy. Unfortunately my current bottle of antique is too low and what was once readily available has now been bought up and hoarded. Anyone have a bottle of Weller Antique 107 they’d want to sell me for retail or close to?

I could give you enough ounces to get you there.

Got inspired to do some projects too because we just got a cricut (and made some stencils).

Made this bottle glorifier to celebrate WFE picks i've done.

Then, my buddy made fun of me using bookers boxes as risers... so i made some "nicer" risers.

Just put your name and all the Willet together.

Tis I

Why are they all still sealed?

 

.

That was seconds after we purchased them from the agency they were shipped-to.

I got opens! I'm the last person that just "looks at my whiskey".

Actually, latest 4 picks we did.

What would the source of that be? HH?

it's a toss up. I think it's brown forman. (19 year old king of kentucky).

a bottle from a 19 year barrel I picked w/some buds.

Thanks, what about bottles, are there any good bottles that are sold in Indiana that are not sold in Ohio?

Hey Google search brings up starlight distillery as a decent Indiana bourbon.

Starlight sucks. The family is great. Wonderful people. Their hooch needs some time to age.

kinda fast

Las minute question. Are there any good liquors available in Indiana that aren't available here? My wife is in Goshen for the day.

papa joes (across the border off of 70)

big red liquors

Crown liquors

- (Post road has good picks, etc)

Rural Inn (best of the 4 mentioned)

LAST DROP update: 12K offer was accepted. (listed at 20, accepted at 12).

I predicted 12K.

DAMN.

IM.

GOOD.

Maybe (probably) $100k was a crazy number, but I'm really shocked the asking price isn't higher than $20k.

 

Is it even actually out yet?

FIRST OFFFER on the Last drop thread in BSM was made!!!!

From Prav in DC! 12K

Let's see if the seller bites.

I have a dumb question...I'm surprised you feel those bottles will go for that. There are only 240 bottles of it. My question is how can the pappy still command $2 or 3k and there seems to be so much more of it?

I'm not doubting your numbers but I don't see it, i feel it would be more

LAST DROP from BT update:

Just hit BSM, asking price of 20k... because... why not?

Let's see what it goes for!!!

I have seen this bottle go up for 30K on secondary. Someone offered 25K 30 seconds later, and the deal was done. Unreal.

Pappy is iconic and has been for 10 years.

All these crazy new ploys to charge more .... ARE (technically) working, but not to the same multiple like PVW (10x on p23.... 300.00 to 2.8K)

"Where am I getting my numbers"

DEVR is 2500 MSRP and sells for 7-11k depending on batch.

Recent OFC are 2500 and sell for 3300-4000.

"Final Reserve" (45 years old) has MSRP of 4400 and sells for like 5-6k tops. Oops. actually at retail... https://dewinespot.co/products/james-thompson-brother-final-reserve-45-year-old-kentucky-straight-bourbon-whiskey

Bourbon that commands 10-30K per bottle is typically stuff that came out prior to 2015 and is scarce now that many got consumed and only very few unopened bottles remain (to this point, they got consumed because htey were cheap bottles back then, many folks are likely kicking themselves when they drank a 100.00 bottle of Willett that now sells for 10k, 20k, even 25K in a heartbeat once listed).

To your point, YES this is limited to 240 bottles. But, if you want one all you have to do is offer 2-3x retail and someone will come off of one because it will be a recent release.

Added notes - double eagle very rare is 20 year old whiskey, and limited to 299 (i think) bottles. The average price for that batch (batch 1) is like 9-11k depending on the day. I think the first one sold for 15-17K.

^^^^^^

first one, 12K

second one 11K

tenth one 7k

will level off at 6k-7k

It's only 20 year old whiskey. Yes it was vatted, but that doesnt continue to age it. Consider that the recent OFC releases barely fo for more than their 2700 OTD retail and those are similar in age and such.

Also consider that other schemes like last drop barely sell for over their outrageous MSRP's also.

 

 

I’m down let’s set that up. I’m afraid I don’t have anything if your caliber to share, but happy to share what I’ve got.

it's not about that. I want to show you the wormhole.
