My upstairs collection (about 25 bottles bunkered downstairs).

Very nice. Weller Special Reserve is my go-to. Best bang for the buck in my opinion. Getting very hard to find in these parts, however.

A bottle of Pappy is definitely a holy grail for me. A liquor store about an hour from me sold 10 bottles (at cost) about a month ago. I planned to show up 12 hours early to stand in line for one, only to find that there were already 10 people in line about 16 hours before the start of the sale. I plan to show up there that early, or earlier, next year if they do it the same way again. In the meantime I'll just have to settle for $45 - $80 pours whenever I can find them...

Buy my 20yo

How much you selling it for?

Gotta post a price

For what it's worth, me and 5 friends from BC entered that Ontario draw (all Winkles, BTAC, and Weller 12), and none of us heard back. I expected that the winkles/BTAC would be a long shot, but thought at least one of us might score a Weller 12. Still, no luck. Hoping some of you scored,

One of my local stores got two bottles of Blanton's in this week, but I missed them.

Still no Eagle Rare and such back on the shelves yet. I've got a bottle that I haven't broken into yet. Bought two over Christmas break.

Try Jameson Caskmates. Aged in stout barrels. Great finish on it.

My parent brought me back a bottle of blantons original from Florida, Delicious stuff.
Discontinued in Ontario, its nice to have a bottle again

The Jameson Caskmates is actually what I picked up last night. It's really good.

A non-bourbon drinking friend texted me tonight. He found Pappy in a semi-local store. I got excited. It was $2500 for the bottle. I got pissed and passed. I didn't ask if it was 15, 20, or 23 (or 10 or 12 being passed off as Pappy).

Does WV do a Pappy lottery like we have in PA? Or do bottles actually appear on shelves.

Both. I believe it is up to the store as to what they do with it if they get it. In the Charleston-Huntington area I know of a couple nicer restaurants who get first dibs from two local shops. There are also a few stores that hold their own raffles/lotteries (usually incorporating some other decent bourbons in the mix as well). Some stores have call lists. Others put it on the shelf for the affordable price of $2500. I heard (have not confirmed) that a Smoker Friendly in the Wheeling area got some this year; shocking given what the Smoker Friendly's around here often keep.

If that store is indeed selling it for the 2500 you can actually report them to Rip VanWinkle. They don't wan't their bourbon being marked up like that.

I was told the same thing. I'm not sure how they were sold.

Is somebody really looking for this? As of yesterday, my local shop has three different van winkles $600, $1400 and $2000 for the bottle in the velvet bag.
I know the guys well so if you really wanted it I could put you in touch. I have no clue if that is what it normally costs. I am a scotch drinker and dont really care for bourbon.

Sounds like a bottle of 15, 20 and 23!
