    Anyone able to find Makers FAE-02 yet? FAE-01 and the rest of the wood finishing series has been excellent so far. 
    Haven't seen one yet.  They are usually pretty easy to come by, but nothing so far.  I really dig their finishing series releases!
    I'm also waiting on ECBP C921.  Heard they should be trickling in soon.
    Thanks. I know I’ll find one eventually, I just want it sooner rather than later haha

    I haven't seen FAE-02 yet either. My local spot still has a few cases of FAE-01 sitting around for $55. Haven't tried it yet. You guys think it's worth grabbing a bottle?

    FAE-01 for $55 is def worth it!

    That’s one of my favorite bottles. $55 is fair. I’d recommend it even at $70.

    I don’t know if it was a type but my local place had Buffalo trace at $112 a bottle!  I think I paid $40 this time last year.

    weird...I know there are some special bottles around but that still seems high

    Lol that’s insane. I’d pay $35 at most. 

    This summer I bought a bottle of New Riff 6 Year Malted Rye in Louisville and gifted it to my friend for a housewarming. Ended up leaving before the bottle was cracked- oops! Just found it in NY. Excited to try this weekend.

    Mike, I doubt this is the case, but if it is one of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection bottles then rush back there and buy it.  I don't think they've hit shelves yet, but it would not say Buffalo Trace on the bottle.  It would be Thomas H. Handy, William Larue Weller or Eagle Rare 17 (all Buffalo Trace Antique).  If it is just a regular BT bottle, tell that dude he is high and it's a $30 bottle.  LOL

    I will pay you $100 if you can find a William LaRue Weller Antique bottle for cost.

    This is one bottle I really want.  Slim chance I know as if any of you fine people find it for that you'd most likely want to drink it...

    But oh well.  I will look.

    Yeah, we need more info!  hahaha  If it's a BTAC, but I really doubt it was....get in the car and head back there.
    Reg Buffalo Trace shouldn't be more than $30.  It's in the mid-$20s here and can be found at every grocery store.  It's a good bottle at retail.
    If it's a store pick, then maybe $40-50.

    That's what I mean.  Something doesn't add up here.  Buffalo Trace doesn't sell at prices above retail so I'm curious what it was for $112.

    A laphoraig  25 would be my ultimate splurge but I don’t think you can go wrong with your choice.  What about a macallan 21? Pretty similar in price.

    Bushmills doesn’t look to be available in PA so those are a good call. The laphroaig is enticing and this may be the occasion. I do love laphroaig, as has been documented here

    Picked these up yesterday. Never tried 'em before. MSRP is really high for these bottles; $170/rye and $155/bourbon. I sure hope they're worth it...

    Very nice- enjoy! Never noticed these bottles had that much wax on top.

    They’re both delicious in my opinion. Single barrels so there could be some variance, but I’ve had multiple years and enjoyed them all. I also think they’re overpriced, but worth the splurge nonetheless.
