    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!
    Yep that is what they have.

    Damn! Wish I won the draw For some pappy
    Could have gotten it for $170 for the 15
    $280 for the 20 and $400 for the 23.
    That's quite the mark up.

    @tempo_n_groove.
    I found me a bottle of el dorado rum 21 year old. Going to crack that one open this weekend.
    The lady at the shop told me they hade two different 25 year old.
    And from what I can see is, they have bottled a batch of 25 yr old in 1980, like you have. And bottled a different batch of 25 yr old in 1986.
    Both run $450 canadian.

    That mark up is still cheap. The higher end bottles fetch even more than that.

    That's cheap! I think your country has lax tax rules with Guyana maybe? I've seen them go for $600US so 480CA is a very good price.

    Let that 21 warm up a bit before you drink it.

    Also let me know what you think!!!

    I enjoy my spirits neat or slightly chilled. Not a fan of having anything on the rocks. I'll have to keep this at room temp. Shit I might have to have a drink tonight lol.
    I'll let you know what I think.

    It was ok.. it's 100% corn so it was pretty sweet. Not sure I'd buy it again.

    Took a night off from bourbon to enjoy the hell out of some Bell's Hopslam... I had a local shop pushing Hudson on me the other day; I passed and picked up some Elijah Craig Barrel Proof instead...
    ...So much talk it makes no sense at all...

    Is the Hopslam worth $17.99 a six pack?

    Could verywell be, I know if you drink a six pack you will forget what you did that night and sleep the whole next day....

    In a word, and in my opinion, yes.

    I would say its worth it. Its almost impossible to find in Pennsylvania. I was lucky enough to get two 6 packs. Its a great beer with an ABV 0f 10%. That being said, am I allowed to say its a bit overhyped while agreeing its still a great beer?

    Is it pretty readily available around you or is it still pretty tough to track down?

    Grabbed the last bottle of Buffalo Trace off the shelf at a local liquor store today. That stuff is becoming quite the unicorn.
