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?

If you saw how these guys dress you'd think not.

People without jobs waiting on a line for hours to flip something for a few hundred bucks?

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

Just got this for a friend of mine in NH he can’t get it there this was the last bottle they had it was $48! Went three blocks down the road to another liquor store they had it for $148 I was going to buy two so I could keep one and send the other two to him but when store clerk said it was 148$ I had to pass

Are you going to have any bourbon?

Yeah ummm.  Explain that one to me.  Is there a real 1600 difference from a platinum Patron?

Also what is with all these celebrities taking up vodka and tequila distilleries?

I literally have no explanation. 
It was good but not that good.
I thought there was a misplaced decimal point in the pricing.
The celebrities do it for the...wait for it...
The money.

So I make a habbit of not drinking anything a famous person made, why?  It's usually overpriced and just ok.  Coppola and snoop wine?  No.
Chiroc vodka?  No.  Did try Cabo Wabo tequila, that was good but not buying it.  Proper 12?  nope...  I did try Cadeuces.  Good but too expensive a price point.

That Tequila you tried must have been aged 20 years for that price poit?

Cabo is def a good tequila! It’s not overpriced in my opinion

No not at all.  I should have added that I don't drink tequila and it is by Sammy Haggar, lol.

You wouldn't want tequila aged that long.

Terramana from The Dwayne Johnson and Casamigos from George Clooney are probably the best of the celebrity tequilas.

Mary J. Blige has Sun Goddess which are pretty good wines.

Coppola makes good wine as well. Not great but well priced. 
Proper 12 is garbage as is the apple version.
Jay-Zs cognac is okay but nothing special.

The list goes on and on.

There was one agave that did something crazy like this, aged a long time, I know it doesn't age like cognac. I was being facetious.

Picked up a bottle of Stagg 22A. Funny how the A batch came out after the b batch around here.

Came across a bottle of rock hill farms single barrel. 55$
