Just got the record I really want the 17yo Eagle Rare. 

Anybody score that?

VERY few of these bottles released. I’ll let you know next week. I definitely have some heavy hitters coming, but exactly which ones are still TBD.

Nice work landing the Stagg! I will be very happy if I can follow suit. 

I had been mentioning to my spot that I have some stuff to sample if he'd like and he said "sure".  So I brought in my 25yo rum for him and a coworker to try.  They were blown away.

He countered w that bottle.

Now I'm wondering what I have to bring in to score some Pappy, lol?!?

Note on the ER17 : 45 barrels only... Compare that to the Stagg's 248 barrels...

Wow! That’s a cool story and cool of them to reward you with a nice bottle. Sounds like a good dude. You might have to bust out some of that fine cognac for the Pappy! Haha

There was only 15 bottles for the PA lottery.

Yep. Going to be tough to land one of these. For what it’s worth, I’ve read a few reviews and all are rating the Stagg and Weller over the ER, so it may not be worth the chase in comparison to the “more available” Antique Collection bottles.

I’d like to try the Larue too...

Same. I’d like a WLW and Stagg. And a Pappy 20 and 15 if I had my way. But I’ll take whatever I can get.

How much water are you adding to the Stagg Antique?

All it says is this on the website:
"Open it up with a few drops of water, sit back and ponder the wonders of the universe."

To each their own, but zero water added here.  I enjoy the heat and flavor explosion.

They actually say adding a drop or two of water to your drink helps open up the flavours. 
i noticed it the first time i had bookers bourbon. At 127.8 proof it’s a peppery drink.
I added two small drops of water to my dram and oh man, how nicely it opens up the whiskey. Still peppery but it opens up the sweeter tones and even out the flavours. 
But like I said before it all depends on what my taste buds are craving.

This comes with a spout.  I would consider a dropper.
