Pappy for your Benny

in Lost Dogs
So I just waited 18 hours in cold overnight conditions, but scored a bottle of 23 year old Pappy Van Winkle. Hopefully I'm allowed under the rules to post this here, but considering that the Pappy is virtually unattainable, and resales for about $2000, it seems analogous to a Benny (for a serious bourbon drinker at least), so if you have a Benny (preferably unsealed), and want to trade, please PM me.

I live in Vancouver, but am going to the Seahawks game Sunday, so if anyone in the Seattle area is up for a trade, you can have your holy grail of booze, and I can have my holy grail of vinyl.

    Their BC Liquor website only updates every 24 hours or so. I was 6th in line, so tomorrow when (if) you check, it'll say zero. They sold out to the first 9 people in line.

    It was actually quite fun line, several Americans had driven or even bussed up for the release. I guess because we have gov't liquor distribution in BC, we get a bigger (9) allocation of Pappys than WA State stores (e.g., because they buy more Buffalo Trace throughout the year, they get more rare stuff.

    I also waited 5 hours at the last Seattle (Showbox) pop-up, but got shut out. If I had known there were so many Bennys (I thought they'd have like 5, when in fact they had like 35), I would have just gone straight from the show to the Showbox.

    In any event, PM me if interested.

    How about a Pono for the Pappy? That's a trade I'd consider!

    So much buzz about this booze. Is it really that good or is it like a Cuban cigar, bragging rights and nostalgia?

    At this rate, I'm pretty sure you could trade your Pono for a Benny! ...44 pages of discussion...unreal! I'm really interested in hearing how it sounds.

    From Wikipedia:
    "Bourbon aficionados have shown up in droves to get a small chance in a lottery to purchase some. It has been called "the bourbon everyone wants but no one can get."

    Droves, lotteries, rarity... Sounds right up our alley as Pearl Jam fans. Wonder how many Pappy fans keep their bottles sealed?
