Thinking about purchasing this bottle. Think it’s worth it?

Damn!

Damn straight!  Over 1k per 1 ml.  That’s crazy money.  Only fluid that might ever fetch more for 1 ml might be Brad Pitts semen.

If that's the case, I'll take the scotch.

Thanks.  Wife was out of town and I needed to make room in my downstairs bunker (so I can sneak my bourbon season finds in a little easier).  

Lol. Nice work. I’m hounding my local liquor store weekly right now to make sure I get a nice bourbon season haul. Looking forward to the good ones coming up soon.

Not sure where you are, but in WV I’m expecting Parker’s Heriage any day now.  That should be followed by Four Roses 130th Limited Edition and Old Forester Birthday Bourbon...then Elijah Craig 18 and Barrell Proof...then Buffalo Trace Antique Collection and the Van Winkles...   Plus some randoms...  Fun, frustrating and expensive times...

I’m in the Chicago suburbs. From what I’m told we are expecting a similar release pattern. Im not sure if I’ll be at the front of the line for Pappy, but should have a shot at the rest. Although my local wasn’t sure if they’d get all of the BTAC (they said Eagle Rare 17 and Stagg for sure but they were unsure on the William Larue Weller. Those are the 3 I’m after. I’m hopeful I get one bottle of Pappy though. 

I definitely prefer the BTAC bourbons - especially WLW - although Handy is solid.  I’d buy Saz 18 if I see it, too...but ER17, GTS, and WLW are far superior in my opinion.

According to my bourbon notebook, next week we should be seeing BTACs hit the shelves (or back rooms).  BOLO!  Let the fun begin.

Aside from BTACs, have you ever grabbed any Blaum Bros.?  Better yet, do you have access to it?  If so, I’d be willing to discuss a trade or buy...if you’d be willing.  It’s one of those things I won’t likely see in WV.
