Any whiskey drinkers?

A bottle I assume, not just a dram?

About 2-3 years ago I paid $50 for a glass (neat), recent vintage while in was at the Washington Duke Inn in Durham, NC. Was good but not worth $50.

I believe if you're willing to travel to KY you can time the release and get a bottle fairly easily.

A bottle yes. I got a 10 year last year was $110. I'd really love to score the 13 year Rye but it's hard to come by. 15 year is the sweet spot for the money. 20 year is great too, but then you're getting into really expensive territory unless you get super lucky. I prefer the wheated bourbons, so for me it's worth the price if I can get one retail. I'm not spending $1K and up though, some people are crazy.

I had Garrison Brothers in SoHo not too long ago. That’s a damn good Texas bourbon, fellas.

 

[Cougar Bait]

Got one. 12 year.

You bastid.

Is it worth the price of admission?

 

[reno cool]

I've paid $15-$20 a shot, only one bar I know that has it. Certainly good, but anymore I'm not blown away by the hard to find stuff like that.

Paid $28 for a shot of elusive Stagg Sr. because I love Stagg jr which I can get for $60 a bottle. Not that big a difference
I do like the barrel proof stuff though.

Is it worth the price of admission?

I paid $185. Pappy is my favorite though, and I prefer the Wheated bourbons, so yeah, it's totally worth the 185. Just love the smooth finish...doesn't get too much better. The 15 is the sweet spot, but I'll take the 12 any day of the week. And yeah it's way overpriced at the bar no matter where you go.

I got the 12 year 3 years ago right before Derby for $64. It’s good stuff, but what the black market is selling it for it’s not worth that.

Good get Cougar.

Interesting article about whether or not Pappy fever is over the top. Well not so much over the top but whether or not real bourbon drinkers are still in the hunt. Don't think the author really has an opinion except, if you get it great, make sure you drink (enjoy) it!

How did I make that gif? I didn’t have like advanced film equipment or anything. I didn’t have a grip. I must have switched the phone from one hand to the next without missing a beat?

What a time to be alive that was.

Being out in the woods gulping down fresh air and being active ——————-> matters.
