    Is their bourbon any good?
    It’s MGP sourced, so it’s basically the same as 100 other bourbons.

    I've never actually tried it. It only recently showed up in my market, and I haven't bothered to pick one up. I got the decanter a couple years ago.

    Picked up a Parkers Heritage last week. Not excited with the 170$ price tag. I may trade it for multiple other allocated bottles or crack it open when my friend comes home on Memorial Day weekend.

    I don't know if it's any good, but this has got to be the coolest fucking bottle out there:


    I have this and the football bottle too. Wasn't very good IMO.

    Got lucky yesterday and snagged one of the last Col EH Taylor BIB bottles that my local Specs got. They went through 9 cases yesterday. They had a couple Eagle Rare bottles but both were allocated so I had to choose. Went back this morning for the ER but it was all gone. Thankfully I stumbled on some Weller SR they had so I grabbed a bottle. Also allocated so I may go back tomorrow in hopes they still have some.

    It was at Specs. Only other time I've seen it on shelves is at independent stores for $90-$100. I think it was $30 at Specs.

    Wow.  I haven't tried to buy one of these in a long time.  I used to get them for $30 or so.  I wouldn't pay $100...

    Picked up an EH Taylor small batch and a Russell's Reserve 13 yr. I was real excited to pick up another bottle of the Russell's. Price went up 30$ since last fall. Crazy.

    Damn, a Parker's and R13 in the same week? Badass. I'd definitely crack open that Parker's. The neck pour was a bit hot, but every pour since has been totally worth the price tag and then some.

    Parker's and a Russell's 13?  Damn, where do you live?  haha

    Stopped by today to get an iced tea and picked up another bottle of Russell's 13. I couldn't believe it was just sitting there on a barrel by itself and no one before me took it.

    I bought a bottle 4 years ago and haven't seen another since...

    Was able to grab another bottle of Weller SR today but they are almost gone. Probably won't be any left next time I'm able to get there, Also grabbed a JD BIB bottle as well. Haven't had that yet. Got a bottle of the JD Triple Mash to sample too. Picked that one up last week.

    They show up out of nowhere and they are gone quickly if you don't hear about them. I got four this time around. left one on both of my coworkers' desks.  They lost their minds when they walked in on Monday.

    I saw a Heavens Door bootleg series 4 today. 500$ for a leather case and painted bottle. No way I would pay that.

    We've  sold 3 with a 4th waiting for the next bourbon bro.
    They're numbered out of 5497 if that makes any difference to anyone.

    These damn things are commodities now.  I wonder if these bourbon bros were the same people snagging up all the limited release sneakers?

    I've only had the Antique.  You never see them.  I'd like to try the full proof.

    I only own the Special Reserve and the Full Proof.  The rest I've had, they are good, but only at retail.  Actually, no... the single barrel I had was only decent at best.  Must have had a bad one.

    I've got two SRs and one Antique that I got in a raffle.

    The SRs were on a shelf in bumfuck OH...got them for $28 or something
