    Tonight's ticketed event....


    What are the prices for these bottles? Least expensive to most expensive? 
    We no longer sell them by the bottle. Too much bullshit involved. We now only sell them by the pour through a variety of events like the one last night.

    I believe retail is something like 60-400. I'll update this later.
    ***looks like I was way wrong on retail***
    Pappy 10yr $99.99
    Pappy 12yr $119.99
    Pappy 15yr $159.99
    WLW $119.99
    George T. Stagg $119.99
    Thomas Handy Sazerac 129.5 proof $119.99
    Sazerac 18 $119.99

    Event was $250 per person +tax

    You'll never find any of them for retail. If you do immediately go buy a lottery ticket.

    the Pap 23 in a bar, the other Van Winkles I've bought along w the Stagg.  The LaRue my local had a bottle that he let me taste.

    There was a time where I could buy these bottles for under $200.  I still have some.  Now I chase after other bourbons that are under 150.  A Midwinters Night Dram is one of those.

    There was a time not that long ago people in New England didn't really drink Bourbon. You could get most of these at retail price if you looked around. Now only through lotteries or charity events.

    Have any of y'all tried Aberlour 12? Was gifted one recently. Hopefully will get to crack it open this weekend.

    Aberlour 12 is a great bottle!  It's also a great price ~$55-60 for a 12 year Scotch.
    If you like that, then pick up a bottle of Aberlour A'Bunadh.  It's a cask strength sherry bomb!  Sooo fn good!

    Just scored an EH Taylor Barrel Proof via the Total Wine spring whiskey release.  Got the same bottle a year or two ago through the same deal.  Was hoping for a couple of others, but cannot complain.

    That Aberlour 12 was very nice. Good call @mca47! Will have to try the other one you mentioned.

    Enjoying some Westward Whiskey while watching the Knicks-Heat game. It's an American single malt, which basically means Scotch not distilled in Scotland lol. Tastes like a Speyside Scotch, but has a little bite at the end. Not bad, but I'd probably opt for others over this one.

    They also have a Hall Of Fame decanter series available on their website. They have about 15 players to choose from, and the bottles have a printed signature and medalion. I have the Cal Ripken Jr.
